my rewatch of bewitched, bothered and bewildered btvs 2x16:
I actually really like this ep. It is problematic and I don’t generally like the love spell concept but I enjoy this one
“The only person I’m interested in is unavailable” do we think Xander is talking abt Buffy or Willow? I’m thinking Buffy
How did Amy not notice Xander was behind her?! 
Ohhhh the Calendiles tension. Sad to watch 
SHE LOOKS SO DISAPPOINTED OH JENNY U WERE JUST TRYING TO DO THE RIGHT THING
Angelus u dick, how dare u ruin Spike’s gift for Dru. Hearts come and go but diamonds are forever
Angelus is wearing brown eyeliner and talking about poetry. Academia aesthetic 
Willow is so giddy and Oz is CLEARLY giving her heart eyes from on stage, they’re so cute!!!!
The roses with the card that says ‘soon’….very ominous (and well-played)
This Xandelia scene is probably one of my favourites: he’s nervous, she’s touched but resolved to break up, and his speech? Not super grand or romantic but it is for them
I like how we see people in school teasing Xander abt getting dumped. It’s a great detail that adds to the story and offers incentive for his moronic actions 
CC looks absolutely gorgeous in this ep
CORDY WAS WEARING THE LOCKET SECRETLY AWWWW 
I find it interesting that the spell calls to Diana. I assume it’s the Roman gods but Diana isn’t the goddess of love, that’d be Venus. I suppose the hunt makes sense bc the girls do chase after Xander and eventually try to kill him as a “trophy” of their love
Xander trying to see if the love spell worked is so mortifying 
Oh no the Xander/Buffy scene where the love spell kicks in. VOMITT
Xander is already freaked out lol
I DO NOT REMEMBER WILLOW BEING IN HIS BEDROOM HAHA
Oh, she bit his ear, that was uncomfortable 
This montage is too much, it’s so funny: Xander looking overwhelmed and panicked, girls fawning over him and the guys looking super annoyed
How did Buffy make it through school in that tiny trench coat? DRESS CODE?
I do like that Xander goes into that herd of teenage girls to save Cordy
I love the gradual reveal of Joyce being under the love spell. SO gross but the dialogue is good 
If I was Xander I’d let Dru sire me. Let’s do that eternal life together 
NB’s acting was really great this ep, he does a range of emotions really well 
Cordelia is so touched by the fact that Xander did the love spell for her and I’M touched that it’s a vulnerable moment for them when neither of us should be feeling anything positive abt this situation
I think part of why I enjoy this ep is that Xander’s actions aren’t just brushed off. Giles scolds him and is mad, Oz punches him, Willow won’t talk to him afterwards, there are consequences and his actions aren’t framed positively
Harmony’s line about Cody Weinberg is so underrated 
I LOVE CORDY’S SPEECH ABOUT HER FRIENDS BEING SHEEP, WANTING TO DATE WHO SHE WANTS
AND HARMONY BROUGHT UP MATCHING OUTFITS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE EP, THEN IN THE ENDING SCENE THEY ARE MATCHING 
Xandelia’s smiles at the end are adorable

Hey! New anon here, I don’t have an ao3 account so I thought I would make an overly long comment here. I just finished reading chapter 17 and holy. shit. I was so worried there for a second that Jet was going to fucking die. I think you mentioned having a jet pov some point in the the future, but I also remember you mentioning his future status of not being dead being up in the air, and it made me really concerned there for a second. I wanna say maybe that was too dark of an assumption to make, but maybe not? (Ngl, I’ve been anticipating a fight to break out for awhile though.)
I find it really ironic how Zuko was the one that ended up saving Jet though. I’m sure Hakoda would of stepped in if Zuko decided to let Sokka at it, but it still would probably baffle Jet to find out it was the fire bender that pulled Sokka off of him. Man, poor Sokka needs a punching bag, but preferably it shouldn’t be another human being.
Speaking of, I’m now also now mildly worried for Ara, since both Sokka and Zuko both agree she needs to go. Especially considering Sokka has openly said he should have killed her, and is hellbent on keeping him and his firebender safe. I don’t like her much either but I don’t think I want to see her dead.
Also speaking of Sokka and Zuko, they kissed again!!!! And got a bath and a hair cut! Let the celebrations commence! Now that’s out of the way, I want Sokka and Zuko to be fed. These boys deserve whatever the proper nutritional requirements are for dangerously mentally and physically scarred teenagers are.
Also, leave it to Reno to just waltz into the tensest fucking situation of a lifetime to just say howdy to his fellow prison escapees. His insistent positive and talkative nature both annoying and baffling those around him just gives me the biggest stupid grin
Okay, okay. I’ll stop babbling. Just wanted to say this was an awesome chapter and can’t wait to see what happens next!!
OH HELLO ANON!!!
I love that you came here to share your thoughts!
I don’t think it was too dark for you to assume Sokka would have killed Jet. Although I do think someone would have stopped it or Jet would have defended himself after the initial surprise wore of and then Sokka would have been in trouble (sorry jet beats Sokka)
Sokka does need to find a healthy way to release his anger… but I agree that punching another human being no matter how much they annoy you isn’t the best route.
Btw that would be TWO TIMES Zuko saved Jet haha.
Haha ohhhh Ara…. It’s hard to say what will happen next to the poor girl, but it’s safe to say everyone knows Sokka hates her & wants her dead. Hopefully her talk with Hakoda goes well….
Haha they boys do need to eat if they ever want to really heal… maybe I’ll feed them next chapter…. MAYBE….
Reho is sneaking up on everyone as a crowd favorite and I’m pretty surprised. I initially wrote him as a tension relief for the story but the damn guy is wiggling his way into the plot & it’s FRUSTRATING!! I can’t seem to get rid of him…. I mean unless I kill him so we’ll see.
I LOVE your babbling come by and do it anytime!!

I’m Truly Sorry, please Forgive Me…

Rengoku Kyojuro x reader angst
Warnings: slight manga warning aka mainly akaza just slightly though, cursing, concerned for weight, angst
word count: 4279
AU: modern
(Y/N) woke up to an empty side of the bed, She wondered if he’s at work again, she sighed, she got up, she actually kind of disappointed that he's not here , ‘Kyojuro…’ she thought, she still felt tired, but kind of relieved in the same time, because she was on break, it was only for a week, but she’s glad that she doesn’t have to go to work today, ‘I should make dinner for him, because he usually comes back late at night’, when she got up, the floor was cold, ‘well crap now I’m awake’, she got dressed and went to the kitchen, she made Kyojuro’s dinner and made her breakfast, she put his plate in the fridge, and ate her breakfast alone while watching some shows.
After she finished her food, she was wondering if she should call him, to see if he was alright. But before she could even try, Genya was calling her, ‘weird timing’, and she answered “hi Genya, what’s up?” “O- oh hi (Y/N), I was wondering if Rengoku-San is doing ok, because he’s been working on a lot of paperwork, he usually be finish with it, and head to your home, but- but he been like this yesterday morning and I don’t- don’t think he left school?” ‘Now that you think about it, Kyojuro left early yesterday in the morning, I thought it would be like a meeting, but who takes meetings that early in the DAMN morning’ “maybe he just has extra work, he needs to do Genya”, “ trueee, but he looks exhausted, so I wondering if you could check on him?”
‘Awwww, Genya, still acting like a little brother, it’s no wonder he’ll be worried, heck I'm worried too, but usually when these things happen like this, he comes the next day, sleeping soundly on our bed…’ “Genya, sweetheart, don’t worry about it, he’ll be back probably late at night, and be sound asleep in my bed, so don’t worry” “but- but (Y/N)” ‘this boy…’ “Genya I’ll tell you what, if he doesn’t come this midnight, and if morning happens and he’s still not there, can you ask Sanemi to go check on him, because I’ll be busy tomorrow, and you know, some errands for the house and grocery stopping, also I chose Sanemi, because you’ll be busy with school you know” “i- I know, and o- ok” … “OH, (Y/N), I’m celebrating my birthday today. Would you like to come, Tanjiro and his sister will be there, and Sanemi of course, “oh I would love to, I don’t really have anything to do today anyway so sure!” “YES- wait I mean thank you… for… coming…” ‘hehe poor boy, probably made his classmates scared’ “your welcome Genya, also happy birthday!” “Thank you, (Y/N), bye” “bye”.
‘Oh, before I do anything I should go buy him a gift’ so (Y/N) put on some casual clothes, instead of just wearing Pajamas, and went to the mail.
—-
All the classes has ended, and Rengoku just finished a big batch of paperwork, he yawn, and checked if he was finished, he looked on his schedule and saw more paperwork has been placed with a big sticky note that says ‘Teacher of history class: Rengoku Kyojuro; must be finished by tomorrow!’ “Fuck…” he just wanted to go home and sleep with his beautiful wife, on that soft bed, “guess this will be my 4th coffee for the day…” he got up and yawn again, and stretched, his back pop, but not in the good way, “ow, ow, ow, never doing that again…”, he walked over, and picked his stack of paper he had to do, he sat it in his desk, and walked to the teachers lounge’s door, and opened it to the hallway, before he stepped out, he saw Genya with Sanemi, most likely walking home, he guessed, but he heard Genya saying before they left, “(Y/N), is coming over, for the party, I’m so glad she’s free today!” And as they left, Kyojuro felt frustrated, ‘why didn't she tell me anything…’ he yawned again, “God, these yawns are getting on my nerves, I need my coffee…”
When he made it to the teachers lunch room, he started to make his coffee, when it finished, he drinks it, unusually fast, but unsatisfied, by the results, ‘ima have another’ so he made another, and drink it the exact speed as the last one, satisfied by the 2nd coffee, he was gonna go back to the teachers lounge, but saw a small box that had some sweet rolls, on the box it said, ‘you may only take one’, but Kyojuro had a craving to eat the whole damn box, all those coffees are really messing up his appetite, ‘who’s gonna notice these anyway, I eat most of the stuff here, so who gives a damn’ ‘but then again… I’ll gain some weight…’ he put one hand on his side, and felt some fat, it’s not noticeable, but it’s still pudge, ‘maybe I regret being a teacher, all this damn paperwork, and exhaustion, and drinking all this coffee really affecting my body…’ when he was thinking about all this stuff and he was about to ditch it and left,  but hunger was just raging in his stomach so ‘ok, ok, maybe some won’t hurt’ and took the whole damn box and left for the teachers lounge.
—-
(Y/N) was at Sanemi’s house celebrating Genya’s birthday, everything was going great and to (Y/N), she was surprised that Sanemi was having a great time too. It was kind of sad that Kyojuro wasn’t there, he would be giving Genya tons of gifts, but sadly he’s still at work, it made (Y/N) a bit disappointed again, but she wanted to just hope, he’s doing ok, “(Y/N), what’s wrong?” “Oh, Sanemi, I’m just worried for my husband is all…” “don’t worry about it, like you said to Genya, if he doesn’t show up to your house tomorrow morning, I’ll go check on him, just relax and don’t worry about it” “ok…” “quick (Y/N), I’m blow the heck out of the candles!!” Genya said, (Y/N) laughed, “ok!!, come on Sanemi, get off that couch of yours, and stop being lazy” Sanemi smirk “ohhhh really, I’ll prove to you, that I’m not” he gets up, “I like to see you try!!” Sanemi and (Y/N) laughed after that, and went over to the kitchen to celebrate Sanemi’s little bro's birthday.
—-
After Genya’s birthday celebration was over, (Y/N) went straight home, to relax and just vibe at home, when she took her shower and other little chores and pajamas on, she was about to fell on her bed, but she heard a knock on her door, she immediately turned around and hope it was Kyojuro, when she opened it, her excitement immediately stopped, she saw akaza, “sorry to bother you Mrs. Rengoku, but I’m just here to drop some stuff off”, “who stuff is it?” “Just Rengoku-sans” “oh ok, thanks akaza, oh also is he still at work?” Akaza sighed “yeah… I kind of feel bad for the guy, been working his ass off over some stupid extra paperwork…”, ‘I’ll remind Sanemi tomorrow to go check on him’, “akaza, before you leave, thanks again I appreciate it”, “your welcome, and have a great night!” Akaza waved goodbye and walked away, ‘akaza, I hope that boy relationship is better then mine, because he needs it, he’s such a sweet boy…’ (Y/N) closed the door, and looked in the box, it had finished paperwork inside it.
‘Ren… you really need to take a break…’
—-
The next evening is even more tiring than before, Kyojuro looks more warned out; he looks like he's gonna faint any minute, but that coffee stops him from doing so. ‘Fuck me… my eyes hurt so much…’ Kyojuro yawned again. The teacher's office door opened, Kyojuro didn’t give a damn who it was, because he felt like passing out. “Rengoku”, … “Kyojuro”, … “HEY, I know you can hear me, don’t play du-“ “how about you shut your mouth Sanemi” “tch, hey I’m only here because your wife sent me here to check up on you, not for you to be a asshole to me” that annoyed Kyojuro “why the hell are you with my (Y/N)” “Ren, she’s like a sister to me, even though we’re not related, I still see her as family, so why the fuck you think, I be behind your back with that” Kyojuro sighed and stood from his chair “where is she” “she’s out doing errands, she wanted to come over here and check on you, but house chores and grocery shopping” Kyojuro sat back down and trying to finish what he was left off “ok, leave, I have work to do, so buzz off”.
“Are you listening to yourself right now, your just gonna go back on your work instead of paying attention to (Y/N)” “no, I need to finish it, for my job, someone needs to pay the bills in the house” Sanemi got pissed off by that, then he chuckled “tch, no wonder (Y/N) comes to my house, when she’s all tearing up, because someone needs to give her attention and that someone is not you” Kyojuro stood up and put his hands by Sanemi’s shirt, Sanemi can see that flame in his eyes, the rage… “Sanemi if you lay a finger on-“ “maybe I should, I can treat her better than you…” Kyojuro was about to punch him, but the door opened again, and Genya was there, poor boy was shocked, “let go, Rengoku” Sanemi made Kyojuro let go, Sanemi walked over to Genya, and reassured him, Kyojuro just stared back and a overflowing guilt fell on him, Sanemi looked back with rage and discuss in his eyes, “Ren, you need to get your act together, if you can’t do that, she’s gonna move on, and divorce you…” then slammed the door. 
Sanemi walked out with Genya and head home, but before he touched the door knob, his phone rings, he got his phone out of his pocket and saw (Y/N) on the screen, he answers, “hey what’s up” “hey can I come spend the night at your house” Sanemi was surprised, “oh… why-“ “Genya texted me, that the talk you had with Ren, didn’t go so well…” ‘she sounds depressed’ “hey… is everything ok…” ‘wait, why would I ask such a dumb question’ “kinda… I'm just sick of being alone at home…” “yeah, want me to come pick you up” “yes…” “ok, I’ll come pick you up in 10 minutes from now” “thanks Sem Sem, I appreciate it” Sanemi chuckled, “your welcome, (Y/N)…” 
—-
It was late at night again, and Kyojuro was still at work doing paperwork, he felt like knocking out, his eyes were drooping and his back hurts, ‘me, an jerk, fuck off Sanemi…’ ‘maybe I should call her…’ Kyojuro stop doing his work and picked up his phone off the desk and started to call her, it rings and rings and rings, until a voicemail happens, “hi this is (Y/N), I might be busy with my husband, so please understand, leave a message after the beep”, *bee-* He canceled it before it even tried to go to voicemail, ‘why should I even try again, it’s midnight’ he put his phone down and he wanted to rest his eyes ‘maybe, I am a jerk’ then he denied it ‘no, I need to finish this work…’ yawned again, ‘actually maybe a small nap won’t hurt, right?’ He laid on his arms, and wondered ‘am I really a bad husband, mom if you were here, what would you say about this…’ Kyojuro slowly fell asleep on his desk.

It was midnight and (Y/N) didn’t want to call back Kyojuro, she saw the missed call from him, but she was shocked to think he would call her, she sighed and tried to go to sleep but couldn’t, maybe she’s overreacting about Kyojuro, she knows his job can be overwhelming, but… but… she’s tearing up, she’s sobbing, she’s quivering, she lift herself up, and put her arms around her legs. 
Sanemi was fast asleep in the living room couch, Genya couldn’t really sleep because what happened in the teachers lounge, what Sanemi said and what Rengoku said, he felt guilt swelling up in his heart, then he hear (Y/N) sobbing in Sanemi’s master bedroom, he sit up, and opened his door, and quietly walked to his brother’s room, slowly opened the door, and saw (Y/N), he felt horrible, he closed the door behind him, and slowly touched her back and slowly rubs her back, “hey, (Y/N)… everything will be ok…” (Y/N) let go of her arms and slowly hugged Genya, she was sobbing on his shoulder, he hugged her back, and give light rubs on her back, and whispered “everything is going to be fine”, it slowly calmed her down, and she looked up at Genya, her puffy eyes made him felt terrible, “I’m sorry I woke you up Genya, it’s just so much is happening…” “no, no, no, it’s fine, your stressed out because what’s all happening and I completely understand that'', “thanks Genya…” “do you need anything else, (Y/N)” she paused and still looked gloomy, “can you sleep with me, It’s hard for me to sleep”, Genya spaced out and it was a little out of the blue for him, “sur- sure, if it- it helps you sleep- I com- completely understand” his cheeks were slightly pink, (Y/N) laughed because he looks so cute, when’s he’s blushy, “thanks Genya'' she made a small smile, that made Genya stop blushing, he smiled back, he stood up, and started to fix his side of the bed, and he walked out and walked back in for his phone, (Y/N) layed down on her side of the bed, and Genya rested on the left side, “thanks again Gen Gen…” “your welcome (Y/N)…” and they both fell asleep. 
—-
Sanemi woke up first, because he needs to get Genya ready for school and everything, like make his breakfast and stuff, he left his main clothes in the living room because he didn’t want to wake up (Y/N), he got dressed and he head to Genya’s room, to wake him up, when he got there and opened the door, he wasn’t there, ‘where you go?’ Then he look at his room, and slowly walked to his room and opened it, and saw Genya sleeping on the left side and (Y/N) on the right, ‘she must’ve had a hard time sleeping, so she asked Genya…’ he still felt frustrated from yesterday, ‘maybe I should call for a day off today, because of (Y/N)’ so he slowly closed the door and called his boss, he said Genya’s not feeling well and that Genya has to stay home, and he had to stay home and take care of him, he ended the call and started to make breakfast for the both of them, he made there plates first, then he made his, his room door opened and Sanemi’s head looked at the direction, and saw Genya walked out then (Y/N), they both yawn, “I smelled pancakes, so I woke up first” (Y/N) said, Genya just shook up, “wait!, ima be late for school!”, then Sanemi quickly said “you dork, I told them we have a day off!, so calm down…``''oh…”, (Y/N) laughed on the two brothers, “why did you call a day off Sanemi?” “Because of you, I saw Genya slept on the other side of the bed, so I thought, you had a hard time sleeping” “I did and Genya helped, isn’t that little dude” “HEY, I’m not around the same age, but I am like twice your size!”, (Y/N) laughed, it made the brothers smile, because it’s better to see their friend happy instead of so sorrowful, “hey, Sanemi… later from today, can you drop me at the school, I need to talk to Rengoku'' Sanemi was a bit surprised to hear her say his last name, “sure, I can, but if anything happens I’ll be in the hallway, and if anyone ask why I’m there, I’ll just say, I’m waiting on someone” “thanks Sanemi” she smiled softly “your welcome (Y/N), if anything happens I’ll rush in there” 
“Thanks and I appreciate it”

It was the afternoon and Kyojuro woke up from his nap, he felt all horrible, his back still hurts, his eyes has deep bags under them, and his body has a trill to drink more coffee, he tried stretching again, but the aches on his back felt like needles piercing through his skin “well that just fucking hurts” he touched his sides and his back, because they were hurting like hell, ‘hope this day, won’t get any worse as it is’, the teacher’s lounge door opened and right when he looked up, he saw his beautiful (Y/N), she looked dreadful, “hi…” she spoke, he felt guilt in his heart because how sad she sounds, “hi…” “can we talk, Rengoku…”, Kyojuro felt even more guilt, why is she calling me that, like we’re strangers all over again he thought, “baby, why are you not calling me by my-“ “Ren, why aren’t you coming home” that guilt slowly turns into frustration, “because I have a job, and I need to pay the bills for us to survive…” “yes, but doesn’t mean you stay up and at your job for three days straight”, “so-“, now (Y/N) slightly raising her voice “what do you mean so!, look at yourself, you been sitting in your desk, drinking coffee, have horrible bags under your eyes, you look like your gonna knock out, Rengo-“ “STOP CALLING ME BY MY LAST NAME” that terrified her, but she still stood her ground, “why should I!! I have been ignored for the past three days! You don’t even give me a text that ‘I’ll be still at work!’ Or at least something comforting!” “Oh (Y/N)!, why don’t you stop being a sensitive little bitch!, and just grow up!” 
Kyojuro eyes went wide, shocked to why he even said that, (Y/N) was trembling, her tears were streaming down her cheeks, Kyojuro wanted to help her calm down, but when he tried to reach for her, she backed up, Kyojuro felt horrible, he felt like he wanted to get punched, his voice was shaky, “(Y/N)…” he tried to touch her shoulder again, but she back up again, “don’t touch me…” his heart shattered when he heard her and how scared she is, “(Y/N), I’m sorry…”, it was silent, until she said “Kyojuro…, no wonder your just like your father…”, and she ran out just like that, Kyojuro was speechless, he wanted to run after her, but couldn’t, because she was right, Kyojuro started tearing up and quavering.
“Am I really…”
——
(Y/N) was running away from the school, the students that were leaving school saw her with sad looks on there faces, Sanemi was behind yelling her name, She just wanted to go far, far, far away from this horrible school, Sanemi chack up, and grabbed her by the arm, “LET GO!!” And Sanemi turned her around, “hey, it’s me, it's me…”, she hugged Sanemi and he hugged back, he picked her up, “it’s going to be ok… shhh.. everything going to be ok… I’ll take you back to my house…”
When they got there, Genya looked worried for (Y/N), she was crying silently, Sanemi wanted to put her down, but she didn’t let go, “(Y/N)?”, “can- can, you and Genya, stay up with me…, be- because I don’t think I can sleep…” Sanemi felt horrible, he should’ve just stepped in, but he wanted to give them space and respect their personal conversation, “sure, (Y/N), anything to make you positive and not stressed, I can do that” ‘hearing that from Sanemi was strange, because usually he’s always stern or blatantly aggressive, but he always would hide his anger on me’ “tha- thanks, Sem Sem…” Sanemi made a small pleasant smile that also made her smile, “hey, (Y/N), how about we watch a movie for the night?” 
“Sure, I would love that…”
——
When Kyojuro got home, he was not surprised that she wasn’t here, his fist clenched, and he slammed the door behind him, he was starving, because he felt like if he ate, he’ll just throw up, but he had to eat something, so he walked over to the kitchen and opened the fridge, and saw some dinner, wrapped in foil, and a sticky note on top, he picked up the note, and it read, ‘hi, love, I’m glad your home, finished this amazing dinner I made, I worked really hard on it, so I hope you like it!’ Also ps. When you finish come cuddle with me! <3’, a teardrop fell on the note, and his hand was shaking, it started to become hard to read, because the tears kept flowing, he closed the fridge, and decided to not eat it, the note was now on the floor but he didn’t care, he just wanted to go to sleep, and just hope this is all a nightmare…
After he took his shower and got ready for bed, he wanted to call her again, so he did, but right when he clicked the call button, it went straight to voicemail, he hung up, before her cute voice can say anything, he tossed his phone on her side of the bed, and sat down on his side of the bed, his quivering got worriedly worst, his breathing was uneven, “(Y/N)… please come… back… I’m… nothing like my father…” 
“Please… I’m sorry… please come back…”
—-
The following morning, Sanemi woke up first, he got up quietly, stretched his back and popped his joints. He was gonna start breakfast for everyone, but he heard a knock on the door, “who the hell can that be?”, he opened the door and saw Kyojuro, he looked exhausted as usual, but he was well dressed, his hair looks kind of messy, “can I see her, I need to talk to her…” his voice sounds raspy, “no, also please leave, she doesn’t want company at the moment” Sanemi was about to close the door but Kyojuro put his foot on the side, so it won’t close, “please… I must talk to her…” Sanemi hated being in the middle of this, but he can’t just do nothing, (Y/N) was upset about and to see her not happy, makes him wants to punch the hell out of whoever made her unhappy, “listen Rengoku, I don’t want to beat the living pulp out of you, so if you mind, just fucking leave” “I’m not leaving until I talk to her!” He can see those flames in his eyes again. “Why you-“
“Sanemi, who is that?”, (Y/N) woke up, then Genya woke up after, Sanemi turned around with a sad look, “it’s no one” “that’s a lie, (Y/N) please… come out and open the door so we can talk… please…” (Y/N) was shocked to hear Kyojuro at the other side of the door, Sanemi turn back “dude, I told you-“ “Sanemi, let me go talk to him” she stood and walked over to the door, Sanemi turned back, with sternness, but he couldn’t say no, so he opened the door fully and walked to his room and told Genya to follow, but before the two boys went to Sanemi’s room, Sanemi said this, “if you hurt her, your dead you hear”, and both the both the boys were out of sight, it was just (Y/N) and Kyojuro.
“What is it, Rengoku…”
“Look I know you hate me, but please hear me out…” he stepped in and got a little closer.
(Y/N) sighed and nodded in response.
“(Y/N), I’m sorry, that I ignored your text, your calls, and most of all, I’m sorry that I ignored you, it breaks my heart to see you so sad and stressed out, to see you so scared and frightened of me, I don’t want you to see me as my father, I'm truly sorry, please forgive me… I’ll never treat you like this ever again…” his voice was cracking while he talked, but it truly hurt to see him like this, “I’ll prov- prove to you that I’m a worthy husband to you…” he was quivering, “I- I- love you- you, (Y/N)… please don’t leave me… I’m sorry…” “please… I’ll do better-“ 
(Y/N) hugged him back she was sobbing, but at least she didn’t walk away from him, he hugged her back, and kept saying sweet sorrys, in her ears, giving her kisses, and making her feel loved…
“I’m sorry… my love…”
“Kyojuro… I forgive you…”
“You do!” he sounded like a lost puppy and that make her laughed
“Yes, Koy” she smiled 
Kyojuro had the brightest smile, and it made her even more happy.
She hugged him again and he hugged back, “hey koy~”
Hm~”
“Love the new you~” she hugged around his waist.
He blushed, “(Y/N)…” he said shyly he covered his face on her shoulder.
She giggled, “I love you, koy~”
“I love you too, sweetheart~”

Okay, but (sorry for my english) I just really love modern hc where they perform as the band No Name during their school festival (their identities are already known and that people know they belong to one of the most famous group in the school /with nanaba and erwin/).
Levi’s the face of the group and almost half of the fans have him as their bias but they really thinks he’s asexual or bi or even gay since they never knew anyone who had been his girlfriend and he doesn’t seem to be that person to be involved in any romance.
But then he surprises everyone when during their performance, he just grabs hange’s ponytail and kissed her deeply.
And people were just like—oh, shit, wait, what.... levi just—kissed his friend....his....friend.....Hange....the Hange
Then the crowd went wilder and even Levi’s fans just gasped with excitement because—damn that’s hot!
Even Hange herself were surprised but she couldn’t do anything since levi’s grip was too strong, lost in his own world as he ravishes her with kisses as if he doesn’t give a shit about everyone watching them
she doesn’t even know how long it lasted.
Then there’s Erwin in the crowd, capturing every moment with a camera because he’s the only one who wasn’t surprised about this
Tumblr media
Stop the presses!
“Breaking news! Levi Ackerman frontman of No Name is having an illicit love affair!”
“It’s not breaking news if everyone already knows...” Porco rolls his eyes. Connie groans. Great. Now Porco is in his shot. The school’s journalism club is essentially him and Sasha with her phone’s camera. They do not have the skill nor the budget to edit him out.
“Who’s he dating then?” Sasha shoots back.
“Heard it’s a girl from another school.” Porco shrugs.
“Heard he’s gay...” Reiner offers.
“You just want him to be gay...” There’s sniggering and Reiner wants to punch Porco, but he’s a man of discipline, so no violence before breakfast.
“It’s just a rumour! He isn’t dating anyone! Levi’s too cool to date.” Eren says, gagging at the mention of the word. A literal child.
“Who would wanna date him?” Mikasa scoffs.
“Everyone in the school apart from you, Mikasa...” Petra says, “he’s dreamy...”
Connie urges the discussion on, Sasha capturing all of this. This is the best content they’ve gotten all week. “Come on! There are no bad answers!”
“Maybe he’s dating a fan?” Bertholdt says.
“Maybe he’s dating Hanji... They do seem rather close?” Pieck says, and the silence and scowls are intended to shame her. Connie looks at the aluminium foil on Pieck’s head. Right. The Signs movie screening organised by the conspiracy society is today.
“No bad answers except that one...” Connie says.
“You’re the talk of the town again...” Mike says, “they were discussing you on the school’s YouTube channel.”
Levi tsks. He doesn’t know why Mike bothers with that crap. It’s a pretty high quality production... he had justified, but there’s nothing high quality about Sasha’s shaky hands and Connie’s head covering half the frame. Everyone knows Mike enjoys the gossip, and there’s no one that enjoys it more. Except maybe Erwin.
“Do tell! Who is the enigmatic Levi Ackerman dating?” Erwin teases. He knows he’s not getting anything out of tight-lipped Levi. But it’s still worth a shot. Also worth seeing how annoyed he can get. Plus it’s not like they don’t already know.
If the canteen hadn’t been so goddamn full, Levi would’ve relocated long ago. Then again, his lunch groups hasn’t changed since his first day at school. The routine works.
“I’m sure you boys would be the first to know...” Nanaba chuckles. She had been the first to know and frankly. Levi’s inability to confess has been getting stifling. The only thing that really breaks the conversation though? Hanji tripping and landing face first on the table, lucky for her Levi moves her tray out of the way, saving her lunch, “watch it four eyes!”
“What did I miss?” Hanji asks, eyes already gleaming at the possibility of new knowledge.
“We were just talking about Levi’s illicit love affair.” Mike says. This is getting interesting.
“Awww Levi! You didn’t tell your ol’ pal Hanji that you were seeing someone?”
The rest of them exchange looks. God she’s so goddamn oblivious.
“Eat. We’ve got band practice before class.” Levi says, fingers already working to peel Hanji’s orange for her.
Nanaba winces. So goddamn oblivious.
“So we enter school today and Sasha what do we see?”
“Merch!” Sasha pops in front of the screen and does jazz hands with Connie.
“In the lead up to the big No Name concert, everyone’s donning their best No Name merch! First, let’s speak to the best in the game, Armin Arlert.”
Armin fidgets awkwardly, “ahaha I’m just a fan who just happens to make high quality merch.” Modest for someone earning big bucks from his enterprise.
“Ah... And you have competition this year!” Connie says into the microphone, which is really just rolled up newspaper.
“Well... The quality of my work speaks for itself...” Armin smiles sheepishly at the camera, but there’s something insidious in his eyes. Armin has to admit having sole monopoly over No Name merchandising in school has gone a little stale. Surely a little competition will spice things up.
“So Zeke, care to tell us more about your entry into the merchandise game?” Connie asks the bearded boy. Who has a full grown beard at their age? Connie makes a mental note to insert “sells bootleg merch” in the little panel that runs below Zeke’s interview. The whole school is also pretty sure Zeke had been behind the whole oregano debacle last year- someone had been passing oregano off as weed and selling it to the younglings.
“What’s there to say? Mine’s cheaper.” Zeke winks.
“So, satisfied customer. Why did you choose to buy Armin’s merch over Zeke’s?” Connie asks.
Pieck glances down at her Hanji shirt, “Armin got Hanji’s nose right.” She smiles.
In the background Armin and Eren are yelling at one another.
“How could you Eren! I thought we were best friends!” Armin says. Maybe the competition spiced things up a little too much.
“It was cheaper Armin! So much cheaper!”
Eren is wearing the ugliest shirt in school so, is it really worth it though?
“We are absolutely not blowing our budget on a confetti canon!”
“But Levi!” Hanji whines, “you already rejected so many of my ideas...”
“May I remind you that your previous ideas include a guillotine on stage, you repelling from the ceiling-“
“A tiger...” Mike adds and Hanji shoots him a look, traitor...
“It was two tigers...” she mutters under her breath. “Aww Levi you never let me do anything fun!” She pouts and Mike watches as Levi’s resolve slips an inch. There’s nothing more disgusting than the weakness of a man in love. Mike rolls his eyes. He had told Erwin if he wanted in on the action, he should join their band. There’s just so much to see that Mike has honestly had his fill. Or maybe he’s just saying it. Damn Nanaba was right, he enjoys this more than he’d care to admit.
“If you shut up through the next five songs, I’ll buy you dinner.”
“What about me?” Mike huffs.
“Deal!” Hanji shouts triumphantly, “and if you let me sing the chorus with you on this next song at the concert I’ll buy you dessert!”
“Almost as if I’m invisible...” Mike mutters.
“Fine... Deal... If you can hit the notes that is...”
“Ohhhh snap!” Mike says, and Levi turns to him for a high five. Mike smashes a beat on his drums. Hanji deadpans.
Ba dum fuckin tiss indeed.
“So it’s two days before the festival and the big No Name concert. Today, we’ve got a special treat for you. Roving reporter Jean Kirschtein will find out more about Levi’s love affair, straight from the horse’s mouth!”
Jean shoots Connie a dirty look. But the pun had not been intended. Connie mouths a quick apology before continuing, “but first, a word with the people closest to him-“ Connie nudges Jean towards the general direction of Erwin, Nanaba and Mike. Remember you owe me Jean! Connie whispers harshly when he senses his friend’s hesitation, now go!
Jean groans once more. God his reputation was going to take a hit. He’s vice captain of the soccer team for God’s sake. He doesn’t need this.
“Erwin Smith! A word? Uh... Thoughts on the rumours surrounding Levi Ackerman’s love life?” Jean asks. “Erwin Smith, football captain, history club president, student council treasurer, overall overachiever, and Levi Ackerman’s friend” appears on the screen. They all know if anyone’s likely to spill, it’s going to be Erwin.
Erwin’s eyes light up, he’s finally going on the channel he watches religiously with Mike. There’s so much he can contribute, so much gossip to share, so much insight. Maybe they would even invite him as a panelist on their show. The sheer power! He looks at Nanaba and she frowns at him and shakes her head. Ah damn it! He knows she’ll tear into him if he divulges too much.
“That’s strictly on a need to know basis.” Erwin grins.
“Well... Can you give us anything at all?” Jean asks. Please for the love of god he needs to pay Connie back somehow for setting him up on that date with Mikasa. God is generous but he can easily take it all away.
“We have good, solid guesses, but other than that... No... We can’t confirm anything...” Erwin answers, but not before glancing at Nanaba. She’s nodding. Good, that’s a good answer. Ambiguous enough to keep people wanting. Erwin is relieved. Jean isn’t however, he’s now certain that his debt is going to be rolled along a tab he will soon never be able to pay.
“Oh and the history society’s having quiz night next week, be there or be square!” Erwin plugs.
“Nerd!” Nile yells from across the hallway and Mike chortles.
It doesn’t take Jean long to find Hanji, after all she’s president of the biology club, so why wouldn’t she be in a lab elbow deep in a vat of something Jean doesn’t want to know the name of. It’s her kingdom with a whopping total of four subjects.
“Hanji Zoë, I’m here to ask for the latest on Levi Ackerman’s love life-“
Hanji Zoë- the school’s resident oddball, the genius herself, in the flesh, eating a checkerboard cookie. She looks up at him and there are crumbs on her face.
“Oh! Hi Jean!” Hanji looks up momentarily, “that’s easy, Levi’s in love with me.” She winks at Jean and chuckles. Jean’s jaw drops, surely she’s kidding. Hanji’s known for that after all- her quick wit and dismal personal hygiene. He chuckles awkwardly. “Yeah... Okay...”
“See you at the concert?” She beams at him and he replies enthusiastically. Is she kidding? Everyone’s gonna be there. But Jean remains strategic, he leaves right before she gets the chance to talk his ear off about joining her club again. “Shoot... There goes another one...” she says under her breath as he exits the lab.
Jean bumps into Levi when he’s leaving the lab, odd, what’s Levi doing here, no matter, Jean has a job to do.
“Levi Ackerman! Care to comment on the recent rumours surrounding your-“
“No.” Levi interjects and heads off.
Jean flips the camera so he’s in it, “well, that’s the scoop. Back to you Connie and Sasha.”
“It’s the day of the festival! But really the whole school is buzzing with anticipation for the No Name concert!” Connie announces into his makeshift mic.
“Will there be another accident on-stage this time? Will Levi Ackerman reveal more on his secret romance? Is there even a secret romance to begin with? More importantly, will Porco Galliard finally pay for his own food at the festival?”
“Hey!” Porco whips his head around to glare at Connie, “did Reiner get you to say that?”
Connie shrugs, “we’ll find out after these messages...”
The concert is a blast, from a spectacular entrance (choreographed, no doubt, by one Hanji Zoë), to Mike’s drum solo, to Levi’s vocal riffs. But there’s an anticipation of another sort- will Levi Ackerman finally address the rumours of his love affair?
“My Levi-Hanji senses are tingling Nanaba...” Erwin says mid-concert. As the self-proclaimed expert on school gossip, there’s no gossip sweeter than that which surrounds his two best friends. Nanaba thinks it’s an overstatement of his abilities.
But Nanaba feels it too- the electricity in the air, “i think it’s finally happening!” She says, nothing short of a vision.
Levi announces the last song for the night, and he makes his way over to Hanji during the last chorus.
HUH?
Sasha’s cameras are rolling. She holds her breath, for what she doesn’t know, but she feels it coming, call it director’s intuition if you will.
Hanji looks at Levi and beams past the bandages over their eyes, now upgraded to a material they can actually see through, ever since that one accident with Hanji trying to execute a stage dive completely blind. It’s not fun explaining to the ER nurse how you managed to fracture your arm in so many locations.
Hanji’s expression changes to one of confusion when Levi closes the distance between them. This isn’t part of any plan. Her lips part in a gasp. The crowd falls silence, breath collectively held in anticipation. It’s happening. The most significant and exciting moment of their young lives.
What in the name of Maria, Rose, and Sheena!
Levi grabs Hanji by her ponytail and crashes his lips into hers. She forgets how to function, her guitar now hanging limp and forgotten. But her arms find their way around Levi’s neck. It’s just Mike on the drums now, roaring with laughter.
“Hell yes!” Mike exclaims and it’s captured by one of the mics, joined by Nanaba and Erwin at exactly the same time. There’s a flash from Erwin’s phone, there, immortalised in a photo forever. He knows it’ll come in handy one day. For blackmail or for a future wedding montage. Either is fine.
What just happened?
Connie’s jaw is hanging.
“Levi Ackerman and... and... Hanji Zoë?” Connie says, more for his own benefit than for his audience. Because this is Hanji they’re talking about? The Hanji Zoë? Resident evil genius, overall weirdo, oddly magnetic and popular amongst both the boys and the girls, Levi’s childhood friend Hanji Zoë? The answer had been staring them right in the face! Levi at the biology labs, Levi glowering at her, the bickering, the chemistry on and off stage.
Connie whips his head over to Pieck, and she winks at him, told you so!
“I don’t believe it! Stop the presses! Levi Ackerman, frontman of No Name, in love with the brilliant, the magnetic, the one and only... Hanji Zoë!”
Hanji is kissing Levi back with fervour, until they’re both blushing and giddy, the music long forgotten, and when everyone is done gawking, the crowd erupts in violent cheering. Who would’ve thought emotionally constipated Levi, Levi whose private life has been kept a secret for so long, safe from the prying hands of the school press and his loyal fans, would choose to make an announcement like this. What a night! What a spectacle!
“I guess that’s all for tonight folks, and what a fantastic and surprising evening it has been!” Connie laughs, “I’m Connie Springer, and you heard it here first!”
The confetti canon goes off. And Hanji watches with uninhibited joy as confetti rains down on the stage.
“So... Tigers next time?” Hanji says, unwrapping the bandages from her face, her eyes glazed over and more beautiful than anything Levi has ever seen. He scoffs, pressing another kiss to her lips for posterity.
“Don’t push it...”
(A/N: prompt so good I had to write a mini fic! Thank you anon💖💖💖)

Congrats on the kudos, u deserve it! I did not undestand if I'm supposed to choose one of the lines for the prompt or if I have to combine two or more lines lol. But if it is to choose only one: number 5. If more than one: 5 and 45. *---*
Thank you! I used both. Great inspiration, actually. It spun out of control! 😀
Prompt 2: “How much of that did you hear?” + “Why are you helping me?”
Interloper
“Jesus, Iggy, I’m gonna fuckin’ murder you myself one of these days,” Mickey threatened in exasperation.
They were both leaning over, hands on knees, gasping for air, just having run full-speed for at least twelve blocks. The pillars beneath the L tracks were now providing the mild seclusion they needed to wait out a cursory police search of the area.
“Ain’t my fault!” Iggy exclaimed defensively.
Mickey’s face scrunched up to a degree that only his dumbest family members could make it reach. “Yes it fuckin’ was! Who else’s fault would it be?”
He’d always kind of wondered how he was the only one in his crap-ass family to be gifted with at least half a brain. Well, him and his younger sister, Mandy. She was alright. Skanky and crazy, but not a total idiot. He couldn’t say the same for his brothers, male cousins, father, uncle, etcetera. Mickey couldn’t even get his begrudgingly favorite brother to follow a simple goddamn plan that would’ve kept them out of trouble when they were out committing crimes. He was just gonna have to start doing everything himself. Safety in numbers didn’t apply when the other member of your team seemed to have been lobotomized when no one was paying attention. It was probably all the meth. Mickey was smart enough to stay away from that particular bullshit. Didn’t want to become a scabby, denture-wearing, toothpick skinny, low-life with no mind left to lose. He was content to stick to coke and weed like a normal person.
“That old bitch came outta nowhere! Self-defense!”
“It ain’t self-defense if you’re robbin’ the joint, numbnuts! We’re lucky you fuckin’ missed!”
If he had it his way, Mickey wouldn’t be doing these petty robberies anymore. He much preferred bigger jobs, like gun and drug running. But times were tough, and he had to do what he had to do. He’d even considered getting a legit job for once in his life, but the skills he possessed weren’t exactly easily adaptable to the straight and narrow path. Being a criminal was how he was raised, and all he knew. It brought heat, but it was still a comfortable fit. Living without the constant presence of major risk would probably feel so foreign as to drive him crazier than a meth addiction in the long run.
The job Mickey’d lined up involved hitting up a few different borderline upmarket stores that’d opened up in their neck of the woods since the gentrifiers had set upon The Yards, then selling the goods to a guy he knew in the online black market trade. Not as lucrative as heavy metal and funny powder, but a decent payday nonetheless. Except fuckface over here who had to ruin everything by getting trigger-happy on Main while they were attempting to heist merchandise from location number two of three. If the pigs nabbed either one of them, they’d be going down for at least five to ten. Years. Mickey was done donating years to the prison industrial complex. The most he could afford was months at best.
“When’d you turn into such a giant asshole?” asked Iggy. “Oh, nevermind, probly when you started gettin’ it railed on the reg.”
A giant smile stretched across his perpetually dirty face, causing Mickey’s eyebrows to lift dangerously high on his forehead. Occasionally, his dumber-than-rocks older brother managed to think up some admittedly clever asides. Mickey didn’t know whether to punch him or give him daps.
Before he could decide, however, he heard a distinct little snicker from the other side of the large concrete column they were leaning on, raising his hackles to invisibly join his eyebrows in their heightened incredulity.
Mickey hastily rounded the pillar and grabbed the giggler by the shirt collar, hauling him to their side and pinning him next to Iggy with his forearm. He looked into the guy’s eyes, and finally registered who it was. He kinda sorta knew him from around town. Used to hang out with his sister back in high school. He was a lot scrawnier then. This version of the dude could probably hold his own with Mickey in a fight. He’d built some definite muscle.
“How much of that did you hear, asshole?” Mickey demanded, seeing Iggy flash the gun in his waistband in his periphery.
This idiot didn’t look as rattled as he should be, though. He just shrugged his shoulders.
“Considering I was here first, I guess… all of it?”
He was wearing an annoying little smirk, his green-blue eyes shining bright, and his red hair distracting Mickey as much as the light dusting of freckles across his nose and cheeks. He had a stupidly ultra-defined chin, and Mickey immediately hated it. His chin hadn’t looked like that when he was a 15-year-old pipsqueak.
“Wipe that smile off your face, bitch,” ordered Mickey, pressing his arm harder against the guy’s pale throat. “You think this is fuckin’ funny? You know who we are?”
The guy shrugged again, like this was all a casual conversation on the corner. “Mickey.” He glanced at his dumb, blonde, curlicue brother. “And Iggy, right? I used to hang out with Mandy all the time. Have a good memory.”
“Yeah? Well I remember your goofy ass too, Gallagher. I know where you live and I know who your family is, so if you know what’s good for you, you’ll keep your big mouth shut or I’ll pick ‘em off one by one and save you for last. Got it?”
The dude snorted, and Mickey wondered if he was some kind of crazy tweaker with no sense of propriety or self-preservation.
“You outta your goddamn mind or somethin’?” Mickey added. “I ain’t jokin’.”
“Look, Gallaghers don’t snitch, alright?” He held his hands up placatingly. “I promise not to say shit to anyone. It’s none of my business, and I really don’t care. That good enough for you?”
Mickey loosened his hold, but sized him up all the while. “Maybe. But it’s possible you need a little lesson to remember it good. Wouldn't want you to forget about the consequences of you breakin’ your word.”
The dude winced and shoved Mickey off. “I don’t need a fucking beatdown, Mickey. I get it.”
“Ohhhh,” Mickey singsonged derisively, meeting Iggy’s gaze. “He gets it.” He thumbed his eyebrow. “Guess I’m just s’posed to believe you, huh?”
“That would be ideal, yeah.”
Mickey had to give it to him; he almost cracked a smile. The kid had balls. Most people around their neighborhood cowered before a Milkovich like spring lambs. Still, he lived by a code, and letting some rando walk away unscathed when he had dirt on him just didn’t fit the rules.
He cocked his fist back to knock it into tall, pale, and red’s pearly white teeth, just as the stunted siren of a cop car rang out very close by. Their collective heads all snapped toward the sound, and after sharing a meaningful look between brothers, Iggy took off running once again, without a word.
Normally, Mickey would’ve followed hot on his heels, but some unknown force was keeping his useless feet stuck to the dirty ground, eyes watching as Gingerballs glanced around the column at the flashing lights, taking a very long look that wasn’t suspicious at all.
Before he could react outwardly, Mickey was pulled against a hard body, Gallagher’s warm breath sending a shiver down his spine as he whispered, “Be cool. I got you.”
Suddenly, big hands were caressing Mickey’s back, and despite a part of him not minding in the least, the rest of him stiffened considerably.
“What the fuck are you doing?” he rasped out, hearing the telltale slam of a car door, and attempting to pull away. But a strong grip held him close, spinning him around so that he was the one up against the concrete now.
“Saving your thug ass. I know this guy, okay? Just chill and follow my lead.”
Okay, what the hell was this surreal turn of events? Gallagher was bold as shit, cradling Mickey all gay like. Sure, Iggy had made a fag joke earlier, kicking off this whole… whatever it was, but still. This guy had no way of knowing it was based in reality. Did he?
And had Gallagher really been gay this whole time? How had Mickey never sniffed this scorching information out?
“What’s going on here, boys?”
The copper rounded the corner, genuinely swinging his nightstick like a cartoon character, and Mickey had to suppress a deep roll of his eyes.
“Milkovich?” Mr. CPD continued, extreme disbelief coloring his voice.
Mickey was abruptly reminded that he was currently stuck between a rock and a hard body, and nothing about their entanglement screamed anything other than gay, gay, super-fucking-gay. Not that Mickey hadn’t come to accept who he was and what he liked, but he didn’t go around spreading the truth all over town either. This could seriously damage his carefully crafted reputation.
“Tony!” Ian interjected, sparing him from having to invent some lame excuse, and the cop’s eyes snapped to him instead.
“Ian?” His tone was still dripping with astonishment.
“Yeah! What's up? How you been?”
Mickey shot him an ‘are you goddamn serious right now?’ look, and Ian just squeezed his hip in tacit reply.
“Uhhh… gooood? Care to explain whatever…” he waved his stick between them, “this is?”
Ian laughed and he figured the dude truly was a nutcase. Mickey was going to jail for sure.
“Um, well,” answered Ian, suddenly playing it very meek and demure, “Mickey and I were just… you know…”
“You and… Mickey?”
“Not fucking or anything! Just... hanging out?”
“Hanging out.”
“Yeah, you know how it is. I’m tryin’ to convince Mick here to come home with me, but he’s being squirrelly.” He shook his head and shrugged. “South Side guys.”
“What the fuck?” Mickey whispered harshly, completely taken aback.
Ian just squeezed him tightly again, which was not helping his whole brain scramble situation.
“Huh,” said Tony, a tone of acceptance seeping in. “Mickey Milkovich, eh? Wow.”
“Come on, Tony. I don’t have to tell you this is all a big secret, do I?” replied Ian.
“And blondie who ran away like there was a damn fire? Did he flee a threesome?”
Mickey frowned and fake-wretched, finally speaking up. “Fuck no, man. That was my dumbass brother. He don’t like cops.”
“Uh huh. And you and your brother didn’t happen to be getting into trouble about 15 minutes ago, did you?”
“No sir,” Mickey said with a mock salute.
Ian kicked at his foot in warning.
“He’s been with me since like 3 o’clock, Tone. Scout’s honor.”
Officer Tony eyed them both with a look of skepticism, but didn’t contradict Ian’s word. The CB sounded from the open window of the black and white, with some cop-speak crackling over the airwaves.
“Stay put,” said Tony, eyes lingering longer on Mickey’s than Ian’s. “Both of you.”
He retreated to answer the radio call, and Mickey let out a deep whoosh of air.
“Goddamn, Gallagher. You’re spinnin’ quite a yarn here.”
“Yep,” Ian agreed. “A big gay yarn.”
“How the fuck did you know—”
“That you’re gay? Well, I heard Iggy make that joke, obviously. Pretty specific bottom joke to make if you weren’t actually into it. Plus, I always had my suspicions.”
Mickey scoffed. “Yeah fuckin’ right!”
“I did!”
“Whatever. Why are you helping me?”
“Out of the kindness of my heart?”
“Try again.”
“I don’t know. Why not? Makes us even or something. Now you know I won’t rat you out. About any of it. I wouldn’t out someone like that, and I don’t give a shit about the illegal crap you’re wrapped up in. Tony Markovich is like turbo gay too. Used to bang my sister, I think, but he came out a couple years ago. He won’t let it slip about you. He’s not a total bastard just cuz he’s a cop, ya know?”
Mickey bit his lip in contemplation. Gallagher seemed pretty genuine. Still didn’t much make sense in his brain, but whatever.
“Fine. But you know what’s gonna happen if—”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah, kick my ass, kill my family, got it.”
“You’re a cocky little shit, ain’t you?”
Ian smirked again, and it was pretty sexy, actually. “Maybe.”
He had the gall to push against Mickey more fully, pressing the bottom halves of their bodies closer together.
Mickey gasped. “Gonna have to ask you again… what the hell do you think you’re doin’?”
“You wanna go out sometime?”
Mickey cackled in his face. “You’re off your fuckin’ rocker for sure.”
“Am not! I can tell you want me.”
“Oh, Jesus Christ. Cocky little shit doesn’t even begin to cover it, does it?”
“Come onnnn,” Ian prodded.
“Do I look like I date, Gallagher?”
“A date can be whatever we want it to be, Milkovich. I’m easy.”
“Yeah, I bet you are.”
“Okay,” Tony interrupted, coming back into view. “Get the hell outta here. You wanna bang, do it indoors somewhere, or I’ll have to arrest you for public indecency or worse. And Milkovich… if I find any evidence of what I’m sure you know I’m talking about, I’ll be paying your ass a visit real soon.”
Mickey let the eyeroll loose then, withholding a flip of his middle finger, and deadpanning instead, “Don’t know what you’re talkin’ about, officer.”
Tony sighed loudly. “Whatever.”
“Thanks, Tony!” Ian cried at his retreating back.
“You always kiss cop ass like that? Cuz that’s not the way to get into my pants, Red.”
Ian just grinned, finally pulling his body away as he looked around. “You gonna follow me home or what?”
Mickey wanted to tell him to go fuck himself and swagger away like a badass. But was he not a thirsty man being propositioned by a hot guy who just randomly saved his ass from a trip to the slammer?
He at least feigned protest, huffing and puffing as he kicked at the dirt. “Goddamn it, Gallagher, you drive a hard bargain.”
Ian’s face lit up like a Christmas tree, as Mickey added, “Lead the way, weirdo.”

I Hate Myself for Loving You
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Word Count: 4.3k
Summary: You and Roy Harper hated each other, ever since you met. Who knew a dog and an 8 year old would make you realize your true feelings for him.
Pairing: Roy Harper x Barton! Reader
A/N: Scott and Clint’s friendship inspired by Paul Rudd and Jeremy Renners friendship. I’m really happy and proud of how this came out.
“I really don’t see the point in training with them again.” You mumble as your dad practically drags you down a hallway.
“It’s good exposure to others’ styles!” Your dad, the one and only Clint Barton, A.K.A the mighty Avenger Hawkeye, insists. “Besides, Oliver’s a great archer, and Roy and Artemis have different styles than you.”
“Roy and Artemis have sticks up their asses.” You roll your eyes.
“Be nice.” He scolds as you finally reach a large, metal door. “Use your manners, don’t kill anyone. And ask before you take any food.”
“Dad, that rules more directed at you.” You poke his chest.
“Nope, remember when we got invited to Wakanda last weekend?” He reminded.
“They really should put up a sign that says ‘reserved for royalty’.” You shrugged.
You tap your foot impatiently while your dad puts in the code, and it flashes red. He grins nervously at you and tries it again, punching the dial pad when it’s wrong again.
“Having technical difficulties, are we?” You tease him.
“No!” He pouts. “Ollie must’ve given me the wrong code. Let me call him, this will all be resolved.”
You lean against the wall and yawn as your dad talks to Oliver on the phone, then punches in another code. This time it lights up green, and you’re let in.
You follow your dad inside, peering around. You hadn’t been to this facility before, they had come to yours before now. It was a cave of some sorts, but definitely technologically advanced. You see a few heroes your age you recognized from the news, all still in their costumes. Your eyes land on Roy Harper, the most infuriating man on the face of the planet.
“Oh great. You again?” He sneers down at you.
You glare at him and start to charge at him, but your dad ruins your fun and grabs you. You try to pry him off and kick him, but he doesn’t budge. Roy gives you a smug grin that you wished you could wipe off of his stupid face, and you notice the other two archers next to him.
“Sorry about her.” Your dad laughs awkwardly. “She’s a little...aggressive today.”
“I am not aggressive!” You finally kick him in the shin and he drops you, clutching it in pain.
“You are so grounded for that!” Your dad snaps.
“Clint, nice to see you made it past the door.” Oliver chuckled. “And Y/N, please excuse Roy’s comment. He also has some...behavioral issues.” Oliver narrows his eyes at the boy.
“I was just saying.” He shrugs.
“Can we get on with this, please?” Artemis crossed her arms in annoyance from behind Oliver.
“Yes, we should. Follow us.” Oliver says.
Your dad and Oliver strike up conversation and start nerding out over...whatever. You didn’t pay attention, your focus fixated on Roy.
He was strutting ahead of you, head held high and that stupid smirk on his face. You rolled your eyes, glaring daggers at the back of his head.
“So what have you been up to?” Artemis asked you.
“Nothing much. I kicked Falcons ass last Friday though. That was fun.” You shrug.
“No way.” She shook her head in disbelief.
“Um, yes way.” You playfully nudge her. “I’ve got in on video, I’ll show you after this torture session.”
“Are you two hens done clucking yet?” Roy asks, stopping at another room.
“Are you done being an asshat?” Artemis sassed back.
“Let’s watch the language, please?” Oliver sighs.
“What? I said hat.” She deadpans.
“Hawkeye and I will demonstrate, then how about we have a little competition?”
“Yeah, whichever one of you gets the most targets gets to...not run 50 laps!” Hawkeye announces.
“Well that’s stupid.” You scoff. “Don’t you know my stamina is not quite up to par lately?”
“Well maybe it would be if you woke up for training on time. Steve has been trying to tell you-“
“If the sun isn’t up, I’m not up.” You cross your arms.
“Oh, so you’re lazy as well as annoying?” Roy raised an eyebrow at you.
“I’m gonna-“ You lunge at him, but he ducks out of the way and you fall on your face.
“Ooh.” Everyone that saw that graceful move winced.
“Wow. So you’re lazy AND bad at aiming.” Roy tsked. “I don’t know if you understand the concept of an archer, but those are some essential attributes-WOAH!” He shrieks when you grab his ankle and tug him down. “Ouch!”
“That’s what you get for mouthing off again.” Oliver shakes his head as your dad pinched the bridge of his nose.
“Get up, losers. I’m ready to beat both of your asses.” Artemis hauls both of you up.
You and Roy glare at each other during the entire demonstration, not paying attention when the pro archers announce the rules and guidelines. You both race each other into the training room, and he growls when you beat him inside.
You bolt after each other as you jump through the course, shoving the other out of the way as you try to hit the target first. He laughs loudly when you miss the first one, then yelps when you shoot an arrow at him, grazing his hair.
“Hey, watch it! I just got it cut!” He whines as you shoot the target.
“Your precious hair is fine, I barely got it.” You rush ahead of him as he loads his bow, aiming for the target in front of you.
You quickly shot an arrow as his nearly hits the target, knocking it out of the way and hitting a bullseye. You turn to give him a cocky grin, yelling when he kicks you out from under your feet. He runs past you, but not before you grab his calf and bring him down with you once again.
“Idiots.” Artemis rolls her eyes as she stomps past the both of you, now wrestling each other on the floor.
You both watch with hopelessness as she hits the very last target, perfectly shooting the center. You groan and flop back down on the floor, dreading the laps you’d have to run. What was even worse, was that you had to run them with Roy. Stupid, arrogant, idiotic Roy Harper.
You had known the guy for exactly 3 weeks now, and you already hated him. You hated how he thought he was better than you. You hated how he smirked at you all smugly. You hated how he was actually really hot. He was buff and surprisingly a good shot. You will never say that though, his ego was clearly way too high for someone his height.
“Artemis, go treat yourself to some down time. You two ding dongs, get running!” Oliver shouts over to the two of you, still sprawled out on the ground.
Roy sighs as he gets up, and offers you a hand. You slap it away and get up yourself, and he raises his hands in surrender. You both get started on your laps, and on your 32nd one you’re about ready to pass out. You groan as you hold your head, feeling dizzy and faint.
“Can’t handle some light running?” Roy comes up behind you, grinning at first before he notices you’re sweating and your pupils are dilated. “Hey, are you okay?”
You respond by blacking out, and he quickly catches you in his arms. You drift in and out of consciousness as he yells for help, your dad and Dick Grayson rushing over to you. Your dad says something, but it’s echoey and indecipherable to you. Roy holds a water bottle to your mouth, helping you drink a few sips.
“...yo. Y/N, wake up.” Your dad lightly smacks your face. You blink a few times, slowly sitting up with Roy and Dicks help.
“That is the dumbest way to wake someone up.” You groan.
“You good?” He asked. “You didn’t drink enough water today, did you?”
“I had...some.” You mumble.
“Y/N!” He scolded.
“I got distracted!” You defend yourself. “It’s not my fault Lucky kept barking at me to take him for a walk!”
“You need to rehydrate yourself.” Dick says. “Your done with laps for the day.”
“Yes!” You grin as your dad helps you stand up. “Maybe I should be dehydrated more often.”
“No!” They all yell at you.
“Alright, Alright.” You mumble, trying to blink black spots out of your vision.
“I think we’re gonna head home.” Clint tells the others. “Thanks for helping her, Roy.”
“Sure.” He acted like it was nothing, but the voice in the back of his mind was telling him to worry and panic.
Roy watches as your dad leads you out of the cave, and he plops down onto the couch. He stared blankly at the tv, which was playing some horror movie Wally and Dick had put on.
He totally wasn’t worried about you at all! And he definitely didn’t freak out when he saw your eyes roll back in your head. His heart obviously didn’t drop when you passed out into his arms. He wasn’t concerned about your well being in the slightest. He hated you! You were annoying and you thought you were the better archer just because your dad was a famous Avenger.
“Dude, you good?”
“What?” His attention snapped back to reality, seeing Dick and Wally staring at him, Artemis, Megan and Kaldur snooping from the kitchen.
“Bro, what is wrong with you?” Wally laughed at him.
“Nothing!” Roy glared at his fellow red head.
“Your face is red, you’re sweating, and you’re bouncing your leg.” Dick blinked at him.
“He’s got the L word!” Wally sang, zipping over to Roy and slinging an arm around his shoulder.
“I don’t have time for this.” Artemis shook her head and left, Megan and Kaldur walking over.
“The L word?” Megan asked.
“Shut up, Wallace!” Roy hissed before he could even open his mouth.
“Dude, you’re crushing on Barton?” Dick snickered.
“Isn’t he a little old for you?” Megan asked.
“The other Barton.” Kaldur whispered to her.
“Ohhhh!” She said. “You guys didn’t know that?”
“You knew?” Wally asked.
“Why didn’t you tell us?” Dick asked.
“I do not have a crush on Y/N!” Roy stood up defensively. “You guys are stupid!”
“Roy and Y/N, sittin’ in a tree.” Wally sang, much to Roy’s annoyance.
“K-I-S-S-I-N-G!” Dick joined in, Kaldur chuckling and Megan just wondering what they were doing.
Roy rolled his eyes and stormed off, trying to block out their idiotic singing. He would deal with those punks later, but right now he had a lot of thinking to do.
“Wait, they’re coming here?” You trail behind your dad as he goes to the kitchen. “I thought only Uncle Scott and Cassie were gonna be here tonight!”
“Yes, for the football game, dear.” He sighs, patting your head teasingly. “I told you this last week. Now clean up the dog toys.”
“I get why Oliver’s coming, but why does Roy have to?” You complain, ignoring your dads order. “Can’t he watch it by himself? I would say with his friends but it’s hard to imagine he has any.”
“Y/N, he’s coming. And he’ll be here in 20 minutes, so pick up the damn toys.” He says, sternly this time.
You roll your eyes at him but oblige, picking up Lucky’s toys that he leaves everywhere. Once your done you rush to your room, making sure you look presentable.
Wait, why did you care? You hated Roy. He was an arrogant asshole, and a total dick. You hated how slick and charming he was, you hated his stupid smile and wanted to smack it off his face. His smile was dashing and gorgeous, but it made you furious. No, you didn’t really hate him. You hated how he made you feel. Vulnerable and...ew, giddy. You weren’t into all that lovey-dovey shit, no matter how many romcoms and chick flicks your father forced you to watch with him.
Your thoughts are interrupted when you hear the doorbell ring, and you hear Cassie happily saying hi to Uncle Clint. You check your appearance one more time, before walking out.
“Y/N!” Cassie runs towards you and hugs your legs. “We brought chips and salsa!”
“You did?” You smile as you kneel down to hug her properly.
“Well, half a bag of chips and what’s left of Hope’s salsa.” Uncle Scott shrugs, holding said bag out of Lucky’s reach as he jumps up. “So I hear we’re meeting some fellow archers?”
“Yup, my friend Oliver and his old protege.” Your dad nods as he tosses Scott a can of beer, and tugs Lucky off of him. “And Y/N’s arch nemesis.”
“What’s an arch nemesis?” Cassie asked, her innocent eyes peering up at you.
“Nothing, Cass.” You ruffle her hair, and she just shrugs and wanders over to your dad. “Uncle Clint, do you have any paper? Daddy forgot it.”
“Of course we do, come on.” Your dad leads her to the laundry room, which is in the back of the kitchen.
You notice your Uncle Scott grinning at you, a mischievous glint in his eyes. That was never a good sign.
“What?” You raise an eyebrow at him.
“Nothing.” He takes a sip of beer.
“Scott...” you warn.
“You don’t actually hate this guy, do you?” He asks.
“No, I do.” You shake your head. “He’s inferior in every sense of the word.”
“Mmmmhmmmm.” He pursed his lips, that evil glint never leaving his eyes.
“Uncle Scott!”
“Fine! Okay, I’ll drop it.” He chuckled in amusement.
It’s silent for a few moments.
“Is he cute?”
“Scott!”
Then the doorbell rings, and dread washes over you. You suddenly get a little anxious, now nervous about how the night was gonna go. Your Uncle Scott goes to the living room and turns on the tv, peaking over the edge of the couch as you open the door.
“Wassup, man?” Your dad shouts from the kitchen.
“Wassup, dude?” Oliver walks past you, Roy awkwardly following behind.
You shut the door and begin the usual glaring match with Roy, but quickly drop it when your dad carries pizza boxes to the living room, Oliver behind him with soda, beer and chips. Lucky runs over when he smells new people, immediately jumping up on Roy in excitement. Roy lets the dog sniff his hands, but jumps back when he barks at him.
“Ha! Even the dog doesn’t like you!” You laugh at him.
“Oh, haha, very funny.” He says sarcastically as he nudges Lucky away from him with his foot.
“Lucky, come on, boy.” You giggle, taking pity on Roy and pulling your dog away from him, then pat his head. “Good boy, protect us from the scary man.”
“Wow, you’re just so funny tonight.” Roy says dryly, despite the grin on his face. He goes to join the guys on the couch, while you lead Cassie and Lucky to the dining room.
Your dining room is connected to the kitchen and entryway, giving you a view of the back of the couch and the tv. You listen to Cassie as she draws and tells you about her dads latest adventure. Your eyes keep drifting to Roy, even though you can only see the back of his head, and part of his face when he occasionally turns to talk.
“Who’s he?” Cassie whispers to you, even though they would never hear anything you said over their cheering, complaining and hollering.
“That’s Roy.” You tell her. “I work with him sometimes.”
“Is he your partner?” She asks. “Like Daddy and Hope?”
“Kind of, Yeah.” You nod. “Well, actually, exactly.”
“So is he your boyfriend?” She asks innocently, and you nearly choke on your soda.
“Um, I guess not exactly. No, he’s not my boyfriend.” You shake your head, clearing your throat of soda.
“Really? But you looked at him like Hope looks at my daddy.” She says.
“What? When?” You ask. You feel sort of ridiculous, defending yourself against an 8 year old, who barely understood the concept of love in the first place.
“At the door. When Lucky attacked him.” She giggled, reaching down to pet the dog, who’s laying under her chair and staring up at you to beg for food. “Hope looks at daddy like that all the time.”
“Does she, now?” You raise an eyebrow, tossing Lucky the rest of your pizza crust.
“Yup.” She nodded, turning back to her drawing.
You look back over to the guys, smiling in amusement when your dad and Oliver cheer, Roy and Uncle Scott groaning. Roy stands up, grabbing empty pizza boxes and soda cans. You quickly turn back to Cassie as he makes his way over, pretending to have been listening to her the whole time. Lucky growled as he got closer, but you ordered the dog to ‘stay’, and thankfully he did. You didn’t need to deal with your dog biting Roy or anything.
Roy tried not to look at you as he passes, he has to remain inconspicuous. He steals a few glances while he stuffs the pizza boxes into the trash, smiling softly as you laugh at one of Cassie’s stories. He’s surprised you’re so good with kids, since all he knows is your guys’ little rivalry attitudes. It’s actually really cute, your kind and gentle smile makes his heart skip a beat.
You look over at him when you realize he’s been standing there for a few more seconds than he needed to, making eye contact with him. It takes a moment for him to realize he had been caught, clearing his throat and quickly rushing back to the couch, keeping an eye on the growling retriever. You turn back to Cassie and you both giggle. Even the little 8 year old understood what just happened.
“What’s so funny, back there?” Scott turns around to see his daughter and non-biological niece grinning at the back of Roy’s head.
“Nothing.” You both sing, and you turn to signal Cassie to be quiet. You both giggle again when Scott stares at the two of you in confusion.
After the game is over you say goodbye to Cassie and Uncle Scott, then start to clean up. Your dad and Oliver are still chatting away, so it was looking like Roy would also be staying for awhile, since Ollie was his ride.
“Need help?” He asked after he got bored of listening to the two men talk about physics and shit.
“Uh, I guess.” You shrug as you pick up the drawings Cassie made, then gather all the blank paper. “Just grab the trash from the living room, I’ve got this covered.”
“Cool.” He nodded, before doing as you told.
You both clean everything up quickly, then it’s awkward silence again as your mentors blab on and on about arrows, coffee and hero business. Lucky is on the couch, watching the both of you over the back of it. It’s actually quite funny, his eyes fixed on Roy, which made him uncomfortable that a dog was giving him a death glare.
“We have a dart board and pool table in the basement.” You suggest after awhile. “Little competition?”
“Anything’s better than listening to the two grandpas over there talk about taxes.” He agrees.
“Hey! We are very interesting people!” Oliver snaps playfully.
“No killing each other! I’m not driving anyone to the hospital if you decide you throw a dart at the others face!” Your dad shouts as you lead Roy to the basement door.
“I promise!” You call over your shoulder as Lucky barrels over, running downstairs before you can grab him.
“Oh great.” Roy mumbles as you shut the door and take the lead. “Is your dog gonna jump me as soon as I get down there?”
“Lucky’s harmless, you big baby.” You tease, flicking the light on and seeing Lucky had claimed his spot on the couch.
Your basement was pretty big, you and your dad had turned it into, essentially, a man cave. You had a bigger tv down here, and a smaller couch. On the other side of the room there was a pool table and a display rack, where you kept bows and arrows that were either your dads old ones or collectibles. On the other side of the room there was a stereo system that lined the wall, which sat on top of shelves of CDs, vinyls, and mixtapes. The carpet was a hideous red, which your dad insisted looked good. Yeah, maybe in the olden days, pops. Lastly, across from the pool table was a dart board mounted to the wall, Robin Hood: Men in Tights posters on either side (which Scott has gotten as a joke).
“Dang, cool place.” Roy said as he looked around the large room.
“Thanks. It’s mostly my dads stuff from the 80s.” You say. “Y’know how adults are about that stuff.”
“Oh yeah.” He nods.
“Now, ready to get your ass beat?” You grin, picking up the box of darts.
You play 3 games of darts, to which he won and made fun of you over. You had started up the stereo, playing your dads 80s rock mixtape to fill the moments of silence. Then you began to play pool, making quips and laughing if the other missed.
You watched as he lined up his cue, lips pursing and eyes narrowing in concentration. You watch his muscles flex as he prepares, catching yourself totally checking him out. You blush to yourself, thankful he was too focused on beating you to notice.
“Yeah, good luck winning now.” He says cockily as he straightens back up, smirking down at you smugly.
“Thanks.” You flick his nose, before lining your cue up.
You carefully calculate how this will end, grinning when you find the perfect angle. You cheer in victory as you pot the 8 ball, winning the game. He throws down the cue, as you gloat to him. You drop the cue as if dropping a mic, singing that you won in his face.
“Alright, I get it.” He pouts, despite the amused smile making its way to his face.
“So who has the better aim? Who’s better than you? That’s right. Me.” You boast, playfully shoving his chest as Joan Jett starts singing from the stereo speakers.
“You know, you should learn when to shut up.” He growls under his breath.
“Excuse me?” You raise an eyebrow.
Your eyes widen when he pulls you forward, crashing his lips into yours. You stiffen at first, completely stunned. You quickly get over it though, grabbing the sides of his face to bring him farther down to you.
He backs you up, then taps the back of your thigh to silently signal you to jump. You hop up onto the pool table, making it so he doesn’t have to lean down so far to kiss you. One of his hands is tangled in your hair, the other squeezing your thigh as you wrap your legs around his waist. Your hands move from his face down his torso, your hands sliding up his shirt and pressing against his abs. You part your lips to deepen the kiss, both of your tongues fighting for dominance. You feel him smirk into the kiss when he wins, but you don’t feel the need to particularly care in the moment.
Suddenly he jerks back, and at first you think he changed his mind or you did something wrong. Then you see Lucky, who had woken up from his nap and seen what looked to him like Roy attacking you. He tugged at the hem of Roy’s jeans, effectively knocking him to the ground. You doubled over in laughter as your dog climbed on top of Roy, nipping at his arm, which he had held up to block his face.
“Are you just going to sit there or are you going to call off the hound?” He asks desperately, trying to push the large golden retriever off of him.
“Lucky! Lucky, down boy.” You wheeze from laughter, gesturing for the dog to come to you as you jump down from the pool table.
You continue to die of laughter as Lucky happily bounces over to you, Roy slowly getting up and brushing himself off. You pet your dog, laughing so hard you snort when Lucky growls at Roy.
“What is going on down there?” You hear Oliver shout down the steps.
“I told you no murdering each other!” Your dad reminds.
“I don’t think Lucky likes Roy!” You call up, trying to hold back your laughter, since your sides were starting to ache by now.
“Lucky! Come here, boy!” Your dad calls in his ‘puppy voice’. Lucky bolts up the stairs, probably hoping that meant more leftover pizza crusts.
“Roy! It’s time to go!” Oliver yells.
“I’ll be up in a minute!” Roy shouts to him, then turns to you.
“Are you okay?” You giggle at him.
“Fine.” He mumbles, making his way towards the stairs. “Uh, I’ll see you later?”
“Yeah.” You nod, watching him head up the stairs. Then you rush after him and grab his hand. He turns back around and you tug him down by the collar of his shirt into another kiss. He wraps his arms around your waist, lifting you so that your body was pressed against his.
“Roy!”
“I’m coming!” He breaks the kiss, yelling at his mentor, annoyance evident in his voice. He turns back to you, voice and expression softening. “How about I pick you up tomorrow? No interruptions.”
“Sounds great.” You smile up at him.
He gives you one last kiss, before going upstairs. You grin and giggle to yourself in happiness as soon as the door closes, then fall onto the couch. You grab your phone out of your pocket, excited to tell your Uncle Scott about the amazing night you just had, and the date confirmed for tomorrow.

Arc Trooper Fives x Reader (Getting Lucky)
I have been telling you all that I would let clone trooper Fives get lucky so here it is. I may have to slow down some of the content that I post because work is going to be super hectic and I will be working a lot of hours. That being said, enjoy some Fives getting laid because this sweet bean deserved so much more!!! WARNING: Dirty Dancing (not like the movie), Mentioned Abuse/Abuse, Fives is a hero, Blow Job, Oral, Over stimulation, Squirting, Hair pulling, Spanking, Sex (duh) and Fluff.
Tumblr media
----------------
Fives sat at the bar at 79s grumbling about stumbling upon Hardcase, Jesse and their mechanic the other night. Echo sat down beside him knowing the reason why Fives seemed so annoyed. “How are you holding up vod?”, Echo questioned. “I just don’t understand it Echo we’re both Arc Troopers now, and you would think by wearing this armor out that a girl would be attracted to it”, Fives circled the rim of his drink. 
“Well maybe you just haven’t found the right one”, Echo smiled. Before Fives could make a comment a woman sat down next to Echo grabbing his attention. “Hi there I couldn’t help but notice you earlier, you're cute and I was wondering if you would like to dance?”, she giggled nervously. Echo looked at Fives for help who just rolled his eyes. “He would love to dance”, Fives answered for him. 
The woman’s eyes lit up as she grabbed Echo’s hand leading him to the dance floor. “Kriff I haven’t had enough to drink for this bantha shit”, Fives grumbled downing his drink. He turned to see Echo dancing away, and that’s when he locked eyes on you, and the man that was threateningly holding your arm. “Let go of me you bastard!”, you slapped him. Fives saw him raise his hand, and he leapt into action.
You cringed knowing that the blow was coming, but when it didn’t land you looked up. An arc trooper had your attackers forearm in a tight grip. “Didn’t anyone ever teach you manners!”, Fives seethed. “Let go man the whore deserves it”, he drunkenly slurred. “Leave and if I see you around her again I’ll make sure me or one of my vod take care of you”, Fives growls squeezing tighter on the man's arm. He turned him around and kicked him in the ass, and turned back towards you.
“Are you alright?”, Fives questioned. “Yeah… I’m fine”, you shuddered. “Here why don’t you come sit with me awhile”, he offered. You followed him, and after he got you to open up about your attacker he realized that the man was an ex that had been abusive. Fives couldn’t believe someone could harm someone so beautiful and innocent like you. “Care to dance”, you said holding out your hand. Fives got up, and you both made your way to the dance floor. 
You turned your back to him, and started to sway your hips to the beat of the music. He was uncertain, and you reached back to grab his hands placing them on your hips. You pushed back against him as you began to really grind back into him. You both danced for a few minutes until the music changed and went to sit in a booth. Echo and his girl made their way towards you, and Echo talked with Fives for a moment then they both left.
Fives knew Echo was about to get lucky, and smiled. You reached your hand up to trace the five tattooed on his temple. “It must have hurt, can I get a closer look?”, you asked. He nodded but he wasn’t prepared for you to straddle him, and run a finger over the tattoo. He shuddered as you did so, and while he was distracted you leaned down to capture his lips with your own. He groaned and brought his hands to your hips as you bit at his bottom lip. 
He quickly gained control of the situation and brought his hands to your ass where he squeezed, and when you gasped he took the opportunity to explore your mouth. You pulled away to catch your breath as he tried to follow your lips. “Maybe we should go back to my place”, you suggested. Fives nodded and let you lead him outside the bar to call a cab. Once you made it to your apartment you started to punch in the code when Fives started to kiss and bite at your neck.
You were able to get inside and he started to take all of his armor off. He was in his blacks and Kama now so you pushed him against the wall, and slowly sank to your knees. “Are you okay?”, you questioned. “Yeah”, he breathed out. You pulled his blacks down along with his grays letting his hardened cock spring free. You watched as he gasped as you licked from the base of his shaft to the tip. Taking him into your mouth he pounded a fist against the wall and moaned. 
The velvety heat from your mouth was almost too overwhelming for him. He started to slowly thrust into your mouth, and you hummed a little. A strangled noise left him as you took him all the way into your throat. You pulled back when he thrust again, and he let a ‘sorry’ pass from his lips. You giggled and took him back into your mouth bobbing as fast as you could. “Ohhhh (Y/N) I’m about to…cum”, he gritted through his teeth. You took him into your throat swallowing around him.
He came with a loud moan as you swallowed everything he gave you. You pulled back and smiled up at him as he panted. He pulled his kama off and tossed it with the rest of his armor as you got up. He pulled your shirt over your head, and dove in to kiss you. He groaned as he could somewhat taste himself on your lips. Fives picked you up, and walked towards your room to toss you on the bed. He grinned as you reached back to unclasp your bra, and toss it into a corner of the room. 
He pulled his shirt over his head, and slowly made his way up to you. His kisses were hungry, and he was trying not to be too rough with you. “Fives you can be rough with me I won’t break”, you giggled. Fives looked at you like you had said the magic words, and promptly grabbed your wrists into one of his hands and pinned them above your head. He was kissing you like a man starved as his other hand trailed down your stomach to your pants. 
He unbuttoned them and slid his hand into the front to slide a finger over your already soaked panties. You whined into his mouth as you arched your back as he continued to tease you. He let go of your wrists and sat up on his haunches as he pulled your pants down and off of your legs. He kissed you again and then he licked your neck down to your breasts also leaving hickeys in his wake. The way you moaned had him rutting against you. He was teasing you know circling your nipple and then doing the same to the other. 
“Fives please”, you whined. He chuckled as he enveloped your nipple with his mouth. His tongue was like magic, and he noticed your hands gripping your blankets. He switched to your other nipple, and once he was done there he nipped down your stomach. He kept going lower, and then he stopped as he repositioned himself lower. You looked down to see what he was doing when he locked eyes with you and licked a stripe up your panties. 
That sight alone sent more wetness into your core, and you whimpered for him to keep going. Fives was enjoying every second of your noises and reactions. He made sure you were still watching as he bit the top of your panties and slid them down and off. He got down on his stomach and threw your legs over his shoulders then gripped your thighs to hold you in place. No warning was given as he delved right into your folds.
You had no clue how he knew how to do these things, but those thoughts melted as he sucked and licked at your clit. You tried to buck your hips, but his grip wouldn’t allow it. You cried out as he let his tongue slide into you. One hand was gripping your sheets as your other found its way to thread your fingers into his hair. You gave an experimental tug, and he groaned causing tiny vibrations at your core. 
You tensed at the feeling and pulled his hair lightly again. He grunted and started to suck harshly at your clit while flicking it with his tongue. That’s all it took for you to orgasm, but he didn’t stop. You tried to pull away as the overstimulation was getting worse, but Fives just looked into your eyes, and you could feel the vibrations from his chest as he chuckled. “Fives…. Oh KRIFF!”, you screamed as you came again soaking the mattress below you.
Fives pulled away to look at you as his cock twitched at the sight of you laid out on your bed chest heaving as you came down from your high with a dark wet spot under you where you had come. You looked down in disbelief at the wet patch there and back up to Fives who had the most wicked smirk you had ever seen. This man was going to be the death of you, and there were no complaints with that.
His pupils were blown wide, and your juices glistened on his lips and beard. You sat up, and pulled him down with you, and rolled so he would be underneath you. You kissed him and groaned as you tasted yourself on him. You pulled up to lightly bite at his beard and kiss your way down his neck to his chest where you sucked several hickeys. He watched as you ran your tongue over his nipple. He shuddered at the sensation and you brought yourself back up to kiss him.
As you kissed him you wrapped a hand around his shaft to line up with your entrance. Once you had him pressed against your entrance you were going to sink down when he grabbed hold of your hips and bucked up into you. You squeaked at the sensation of him filling you as you planted your hands on his chest for balance. He just smirked at you as you started a slow grinding and rhythm alternating between the two. You could tell he was trying to be a gentleman, and let you have some control, but he was gritting his teeth. 
He quickly flipped you both, and looked down at your grinning face. “Sorry mesh’la, but I don’t let go of control that easily”, he told you as he thrusted sharply into you. You gasped at the sensation. This was the hottest night you had ever had, and it was about to get better as he started to thrust into you at a wild pace. He leaned down to capture your lips as you placed your hands on his back. At one particular thrust had you seeing stars and you clawed at his back knowing you were leaving scratches that would be visible tomorrow. 
He groaned at the feeling, and repeatedly hit that spot inside you. He was getting close you could tell by how he was twitching madly inside you as you got closer to your own release. “(Y/N) I’m gonna… I’m gonna cum. Where?”, he begged, stopping his thrusts. “Inside me please Fives”, you moaned. “Ohhhh (Y/N) I can’t”, he panted, dropping his head to your shoulder. “It's ok Fives I want you to cum inside me”, you told him as you brought him back to face you. 
“Are you sure?”, he questioned. You nodded and kissed him with all the fiery passion you could muster. He started back to his brutal pace as he placed his forearms beside your head to brace himself. You were so close a couple more thrust had you wailing his name as you clamped down around him soaking his cock. The combination of you clamping down on him, and the wet heat that soaked his cock had him spilling inside you with a strangled moan that he tried to hide by biting down on your neck.
When you both came down from your high Fives released his bite, and sat up bringing you with him. He was still buried inside you, and he wasn’t going to be softening any time soon. You shared several lazy kisses until he started to guide you up and down on his cock again. “So eager to get going again”, you teased. “With a beautiful woman like you (Y/N) always”, he replied as you started to help him. 
He pulled out of you much to your surprise, and stood at the edge of your bed. “Face away from me on your hands and knees”, he directed. You did as you were instructed, and he pulled you back onto his cock. Fives started a nice pace and brought his hand down on your ass with a stinging slap. You jolted at the sensation, but it wasn’t unpleasant. He did it a couple more times until the skin was red, and then he rubbed at the offended skin. 
His thrusts were getting faster and faster as you reached down to circle your clit. You were a panting moaning mess at this point, and it took you by surprise when he grabbed your hair and tugged. You came almost immediately after he tugged the second time. He thrust three more times then pushed in as far as he could go to spill into you again. “I think we need a shower don’t you?” you asked once you both caught your breath.
He grinned and pulled out of you as you got up, and pulled him into the refresher with you. You turned the shower on, and once the steam started to rise you stepped in pulling him to you to kiss him. It was all tongue and teeth and he pulled away just for a moment to shut the shower door. When he came back to you he was more gentle, and slow with his movements. He picked you up by your thighs as you wrapped your legs around him.
He pinned you to the wall and entered you slowly as you ran your fingers gently through his hair. “I know this isn’t really the best time , but would you like to be my girlfriend?”, Fives asked blushing. ‘Oh my force how can this man go from being sexy as hell to cute as hell like that’, you thought to yourself. “I would love to”, you responded as you watched a smug smile come across his face. He kissed you again, and his thrusts were sloppy and lazy now.
This slow sex after what had just happened in the bedroom made your heart melt. He truly was a gentleman, and he was someone that you could see yourself settling down with. He brought his hand down to start circling your clit slowly and sensually. You whimpered against his lips as he continued to stroke your clit. You came easily and he followed right after then pulled out of you to set you back on the floor. 
He helped clean you under the stream of the water; his rough calloused hands seemed to turn to velvet. You shared kisses as you rinsed off and in turn washed him like he had with you. He hummed as you washed his hair having to stand on your tiptoes to reach. “I’m going to change the sheets and blanket just come out when you're ready”, you told him, giving him a kiss before stepping out of the shower to dry off. 
He turned off the water and dried himself as he made his way back to the bedroom. You had just gotten done with making the bed. He stopped as he noticed you were wearing his blacks top, and you threw him a pair of sweats. “They were supposed to be a gift for my ex, but since we aren’t together anymore I figured they are yours now”, she smiled as he pulled them on. You climbed into bed with Fives following right after you. He curled up against your side, laying his head on your chest and wrapping his arms around you. 
You traced his five tattoo until he was almost asleep. “I love you”, he mumbled. You froze for a second before replying, “I love you too Fives get some sleep”. You began tracing the five on his temple again, and he fell asleep quickly. Yeah this man was definitely worth being with and you never wanted him to leave your side you thought as you drifted off to sleep content at being in his arms.
------------------
Alright guys while writing this I remembered my never ending love for Fives cuz ya’ll know he is boyfriend material and hell he would make a great father too. Hope ya’ll liked this and I will be making some more Fives x Reader as time goes on.

Syncytium - Chapter 4
Title: Syncytium - Chapter 4 - Fateful Trips Words: 8,571 Rating: T
Fan Fiction: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13712482/4/Syncytium
Per the norm, I recommend the fan fiction version, which includes all accentuated bits. This has probably been my favorite chapter to write so far. :)
September 17th, 1993 - 6:03 AM
A spillage of numbers, symbols, and complicated algorithms flowed across the outdated monitor, a furious tap, tap, tapping of a keyboard a musical accompaniment to the madness. In the background, something beeped steadily, one high-pitched ding after another knocking at the air every two seconds. Several bottles and beakers hung suspended by their necks in a wooden tray off to the side, their liquid contents bubbling and boiling incessantly, all of them different colors of the rainbow - cinnamon, emerald, lilac, and azure. Rows and rows of books, large dusty tomes neighbors with fresh dainty novels, stood side-by-side within the innards of several tall, mahogany shelves set against the back wall. Still more shelves, steel-coated instead, lay strewn throughout the room, these ones encasing not just books, but various scientific tools, as well as cups of pens and pencils, tape, notebooks, and an assortment of other things. The entire room was dark and foreboding, the occasional dim ceiling light and desk lamp adding limited warmth to the place, with the two computer monitors shedding their own ghostly glow about the room. Piles of notes and here and there a forgotten and empty (and sometimes half-full...) coffee mug lay about on the computer desks, and there were probably more calculators - all different shapes, sizes, and models - tossed about than was necessary. It was an organized mess.
But it was his organized mess.
Globetrotter scribbled something down on a yellow notepad to his left, his right paw firmly planted on a computer mouse to his right. Light from the monitor reflected off his half-moon glasses, which tottered dangerously close to the edge of his nose. He swiftly pushed them back up onto the bridge.
Tap, tap, tap...
More typing. More note-taking.
"Yes...," he whispered to himself, the beginnings of a grin climbing up onto his face. "Yes!"
He slammed a finger down onto the 'Enter' key, and a train of calculations ran across an invisible track on the monitor, finally ending in a result that was much to his satisfaction. Globetrotter smirked deviously.
"Heh heh heh. Ohhhh, my friend. Are you in for a treat."
Just then, his eyes went wide, ears drooping suddenly.
"Uggggh," he groaned, setting down his glasses as he ran towards a heavy steel door, punched in a code on a panel set in the wall, and flew out of the room as the door slid open. When it closed behind him, it melded into the wall so well that no one would be able to tell one way or another that a secret laboratory lay hidden on the other side.
Down a long, dimly-lit hallway he ran, his shoes clapping loudly against the smooth concrete floor, 'til he reached an elevator. He slammed his paw on the only button set in the wall - UP.
"Come on, come on...," he muttered, bouncing up and down on the balls of his feet. He allowed himself this - this undignified form of behavior, rocking back and forth like an absolute child. It was something he'd never succumb to in public, but here there was no one to see, not even any cameras. He'd shut them off long ago, knowing full well that no one would ever bother to monitor the basement. No one but him ever graced this area anymore.
After a full half a minute, the elevator finally descended.
Ding.
Globetrotter bolted into it as the doors opened, punching the 'Floor 1' button with unbridled voracity as he clutched at a spot near his crotch, face scrunched in discomfort. His head hung, an extended paw resting against the elevator wall as it ascended. He groaned. This was most undignified.
No sooner had the doors laid entrance to the first floor than Globetrotter shot out of the elevator like a bullet, practically skidding into the men's bathroom that, thankfully, was literally right across from the elevator. It was a shoddy design, but it worked well for him.
He practically knocked the door off its hinges as he barged inside, taking an extra two seconds to select the furthest stall from the entrance as he ran in, slammed the door shut, shakily undid his belt, and slammed his butt resolutely down on the toilet... and released.
He said a silent prayer of thanks that no one was in the bathroom to hear the sounds reverberating off the walls. It was embarrassing enough to deal with bowel issues, but for explosive diarrhea to come along with it every now and again was the icing on the expired cake. Most in the university knew about his issues. How could he avoid it? The students expected him to take a sudden pause during his sessions every once in a while. If anything, they welcomed it; less Globetrotter meant more time to goof around and breath without fear of being told off or sent to detention. And he'd learned to simply... deal with it. Rarely did the whispers come, and there was always at least one veteran student in his class to inform the newer sets about his strange, frequent disappearances. But it still bothered him a little; made him feel weak. Bested by his own bowels. Ridiculous.
Globetrotter breathed a sigh of relief as he let the last of it out, quickly regretting his next deep intake of air as he slapped a hand across his nose and mouth in disgust. Ugh. That was a smell that would linger.
Finishing up, he flushed the toilet (it actually went down this time, thank God...), washed his paws, and exited the bathroom, grateful that he didn't meet anyone on the floor on his way back to the elevator. Not that he would. Early morning wasn't exactly a time for many staff and students to be active. Nevertheless, he checked his watch as he shuffled down the hallway. 6:17 AM. Class would be starting in just a little over an hour. Perhaps he should abandon his private endeavors until a later time? He fixed to head to the second floor until he remembered he'd left his glasses in the lab. Groaning, he stepped into the elevator, pressed 'B', and headed back down to the laboratory.

1:54 PM
The day passed without much deviation or interruption in anyone's schedule, save for a light altercation in which someone accidentally set fire to the kitchen microwave... somehow. Olivia was still collecting signatures on her excursions down the hallways and into the cafeteria during lunch time. She even took to staking a spot outside some of the classrooms when she knew a session was about to end, clipboard in hand and pen out, ready to attack any unsuspecting student or teacher. It annoyed some, but most took it as an opportunity to amuse the little mouse. Even the stiffest of teachers found it hard to dislike Olivia, save for Globetrotter. Even Basil was starting to warm up to her, especially after she complimented him on his magnificent violin playing, although he still wouldn't sign her petition.
"How many signatures do you have, Olivia?" Mrs. Brisby asked that afternoon, tossing the girl mouse a light smile as she stepped into her classroom, lunch bag in hand and carrying bag slung over her shoulder. Brisby always brought her own food.
"Fifty-four!" piped the girl, adjusting her tam-o-shanter as it fell down over her eyes. "And Mr. Pinky said that if I get to two hundred, we can show it to the principal and get a baseball stadium!"
"Hm. Is that so?" Brisby asked, still smiling as she set her bags down on the cherrywood table and unloaded several books onto it.
"Mmhm! Well... Maybe. He has to approve it first. That's what Mr. Pinky said."
"Well. I don't think that will be too hard. All you have to do is smile at him," Mrs. Brisby said, pinching Olivia's cheek. Olivia giggled. "Here: Something for Mr. Pinky." And she handed her a bright, reddish-green apple. "Just make sure to tell him Brisby sent it. I'm experimenting with a different species in my garden and would like some opinions. Oh, and here's one for you, too."
"Thank you!" Olivia said, pocketing both apples, one on each side of her coat. "Bye!"
"Bye bye now!" Mrs. Brisby said cheerily, waving at her.
Olivia skipped with delight down the hallway, for once not calling out for signatures. It was almost 2:00 PM and she had a very important appointment to catch. As she cantered down the hall, waving to Dr. Dawson as he passed by, not waving to Mr. Globetrotter as he passed by, she hummed a little tune, pondering what wonders might await her in Mr. Pinky's class this time.
I wonder if he'll talk about the planets? Or if we'll go on a mystery adventure! Maybe we'll build a roller coaster in the classroom... or fly to the moon! Oh, I do hope he has a cooking show this time. That would be lovely.
Her head was so full of thoughts that it completely clouded her vision - she didn't even see Mr. Pinky coming right towards her...
"Oof!" they both exhaled, shaking their heads and chuckling as they recognized whom they'd bumped into.
"Oh! Olivia!"
"Hello, Mr. Pinky!"
"Say, um, do you know how to get to my room?" Pinky asked, picking up a little case that he'd dropped. It looked like an old-fashioned medical bag. "I came into the school from a different side this time and got a little turned around! Heh heh."
"You mean you... don't know where your own classroom is?" Olivia asked.
"Well, it's a big school! Even teachers get lost sometimes!" At this, he bent down to Olivia's level, cupping a paw against his mouth as he continued in a whisper. "But don't tell them that. I think they'd be offended!"
Olivia giggled.
"Come on. I'll show you to your room, oh lost Mr. Pinky. Oh. And this is for you."
She handed him one of the apples Mrs. Brisby had handed her, taking a bite out of the other for herself.
"Why, thank you!" Pinky said, soaking his teeth into it happily.
And with that, they headed off, Olivia leading the way and occasionally throwing out a factoid here or there.
"I know every hallway in the school!" she said happily. "That way goes down to Bernard and Bianca's class." They climbed down a flight of stairs to land on the second floor, passing more hallways as they continued on. "And that one hallway goes all the way down to the nurse's office. That's where Mrs. Judson and I are! Oh, and that's the hallway that goes to the principal's office. But don't go down there. He's mean..."
Pinky took note of all of this in his head; or, at least, he tried to. Facts tended to flit in and out of his inner cavity a lot more often than he liked to admit, unless it was something he considered to be very important. He tried his best to tie down all of what Olivia was telling him to a particularly heavy, imaginary rock. Remembering who was who in the school was, indeed, rather integral information. What if he ever wanted to give Mr. Bernard and Mrs. Bianca a gift, but forgot their names or where they set up shop? What if Olivia needed someone to go with her to talk to the principal about looking over their petition? Even more important, what if a student in his class got hurt and he needed to alert the nurse? Very important, indeed.
Please, don't forget this time, okay? Pinky thought to himself privately. Please... He couldn't afford to. Not again...
They ran into Basil as they turned a corner. The faintest hint of a smile flashed across his face as he saw Olivia.
"Good morning, Mr. Basil!" Olivia piped up, stopping to greet him.
"Hello, Ms. Flangerhanger," he replied, riffling through a sheet of very important looking papers.
Olivia chuckled and shook her head. He could never get her name right.
"It's Flaversham, Mr. Basil."
"Mmhm," he mumbled, not looking at her. "I take it you're on your way to the nurse's office?"
"Actually, I'm helping Mr. Pinky find his class."
Olivia motioned for Basil to bend down to her level, which he obliged to, albeit reluctantly.
"He tends to get lost," she whispered into his ear.
"Is that so?" Basil queried, standing up straight again to take a closer look at this Mr... "Pinky, was it? You're... new here, are you not?" he asked, licking a thumb before riffling through his papers again.
"That's me!" Pinky acknowledged cheerily. "And Olivia's being such a help."
"Is she still going on about that ghastly petition?" Basil asked, although not entirely unkindly; it was almost playful.
"Yes! Will you sign it?" Olivia asked, not at all perturbed by Basil's mock reply, as she held the petition high up the air towards Basil's face, which, due to her height, wasn't very high at all. Even on her tippie toes she barely reached his chest.
Basil looked over at her and actually smirked.
"No," he said, giving a rather toothy, sarcastic grin before wandering off. "Good day to you both."
"Hm. He's a little stuck up, isn't he?" Pinky asked, staring after Basil curiously as he disappeared around the corner.
"Oh, don't mind Mr. Basil. He's quite nice when you get to know him. Come on! Let's go find your class room. We're late!"
And with that, Olivia took hold of Pinky's hand and led him onward down the hallway.
They passed Globetrotter as they reached the bathrooms. Pinky wrinkled his nose a little as the door swung shut behind the disgruntled teacher. Great swollen socks. It smelled as if something had died in there. Nevertheless, Pinky smiled and waved as he stomped by.
"Afternoon, Brain!"
Globetrotter shot him a nasty look, adjusting his pants and wincing as he did so. Pinky cocked an eyebrow in concern.
"Let's go," Olivia said in a hushed tone, pulling Pinky forward and past the restrooms.
Not ten seconds later, they reached his classroom. They were late. Not that it mattered. In truth, no one had yet signed up for Pinky's class, even though it had been a little over a week since he'd set up shop. Although many in the school talked about looking into the Trozology course, none had actually committed. Besides a majority of the pupils having very busy schedules that didn't allow for much free time, the main excuse, besides the nature of the class being rather oblivious, was concern that it would disappoint. It wouldn't be the first time a new teacher had come to town, toting with them the promise of a particularly interesting course, only for it to fall flat on its face and disappear or fade into obscurity a year later. "Someone," the students said, "has to take the plunge - take one for the team - and try Mr. Pinkus's class out to see if it's legit." Everyone was pushed to do so; henceforth, no one did. Only Olivia came to call now and again, and whenever she happened upon him he was either watching television, acting out some wild and wacky skit (which, unfortunately, she always caught the tail end of), or, on one rare occasion, sitting at his desk reading and staring at his family portrait longingly. Olivia just assumed that she always missed his busy class times. How could someone so fun not have any students?
"Hmm. Are all your students late, Mr. Pinky?" Olivia asked, looking up at him curiously as he opened the door to... an empty classroom.
"Hm? Oh no! No, not at all. I just... don't have any students yet! Ha-ha. You're the first, actually," Pinky said, as he set his medical bag down on the desk and pulled out several items: a can of tuna, a HUGE block of cheese wrapped in non-stick parchment paper, a notepad, a couple of pens, and... a Gilligan's Island tape. "Got tired of the old ones," he winked at Olivia, answering her silent question as he set the tape down amongst his snacks and office supplies.
"Are you going to watch it?" Olivia asked, curious eyes barely able to see over the top of Pinky's desk, her little paws stretching to grasp at its edges.
"We caaaaaaaaan," Pinky teased. "But only if you'll share this cheese with me!"
Olivia gasped.
"Really?!"
Five minutes later saw them both sitting on hard plastic chairs in front of the wheel-in tv, munching on cheese and occasionally busting out in a fit of laughter at some silly antic that one of the cast members pulled. Olivia had already decided that this was her all time favorite show, even though she'd barely seen one episode.
"Mr. Pinky? Why don't you have any students?" she asked rather randomly during a pause in the show.
"I suppose it's because no one's signed up yet!" Pinky said, all optimism.
"Ohhhh. When will they sign up, do you think?"
"I don't know, actually. But they'll come!"
Olivia smiled. He seemed so certain that she couldn't help but believe him. She took another bite out of her American Cheddar.
"I'm gonna tell all my friends about your class," she mumbled thickly through a huge mouthful of cheese. "Then everybody will come, and they'll all sign up!"
"Awwww. Thank you, Olivia!" Pinky smiled, giving her a snug side hug. "I'd like that very much!"
"Hee hee. You've got crumbs all over your cheek, Mr. Pinky," Olivia chuckled, reaching up to brush the wayward crumbs off the sides of his mouth. He smiled at her. She smiled back. Without saying anything more, she hugged him back, both of them munching on cheese as they giggled and guffawed at the rest of the show.

September 21st, 1993 - 5:32 PM
Olivia was true to her word. Anyone who was anyone was invited to enroll in Pinky's class. In Olivia's eyes, that included her best friends, her parents, a few of her favorite teachers and other staff at the school, and Mrs. Judson. All invitations were turned down; all but three.
As it happened, Mrs. Brisby was close neighbors with Olivia, her father, and Mrs. Judson. This meant that Olivia had friends her age to play with: Timothy and Cynthia, to be exact, two of Brisby's four children. Cynthia was a little younger than her brother or Olivia, by about three years, but wherever Timothy went she had to follow, and so Olivia got two attendees for the price of one. The third was Evinrude, a mute dragonfly and friend of Bernard and Bianca. He was something of a loner, but took to scouting about the city and popping in on activities that interested him. Like Olivia, he sometimes reported news, sending letters from one neighbor to another in their little district and occasionally pausing to watch the kids at play. He pretended not to care, but Olivia secretly liked to think that he cared very much and kept an eye on them on purpose, as a sort of guardian. So when he happened to flit by as Olivia passed out verbal invitations to Timothy and Cynthia, she invited him, too.
No can do, Evinrude might have said, shaking his head. He flattened one little outstretched hand, palm down, and made a waving motion with the other in front of it.
"Busy?" Olivia asked, hands on her hips. "But you're always busy!"
"You should come, Evinrude," Timothy agreed in his delicate voice, little Cynthia peeking out shyly from behind him. "Might be fun."
The little dragonfly rolled his eyes at them.
"We're all going to his class tomorrow. I'm sure he'd love it if you came!" Olivia said, handing Evinrude a small card, which he accepted.
He cocked an eyebrow at the card, then looked back at Olivia, then at the card again. She'd actually taken the time out of her day to hand-make little business-card-sized invitations for everyone. Impressive. The card he was handed read thus:
New Class! with teacher Pinky!
ACME Arts and Scienses Berbank, Californeea 90095
2:00 Wendsday, September 22
Evinrude cocked an eyebrow at Olivia again. She was staring at him expectantly.
"And you'd better not be late, hmm?" she teased, trying to sound at least a little bit serious.
Evinrude shook his head, looking off into the distance.
"He's going to have snaaaaaaaacks," sung Olivia, batting her eyes at him pleadingly.
At this, Evinrude looked back at her in interest. If there was one thing they found equal footing on, besides being delivery hands of course, it was a fondness for food. He bopped his head lightly here and there, indicating that maybe, just maybe, he'd show up.
"Excellent! I'll see you tomorrow!" Olivia beamed, leaving Evinrude to shake his head one last time before flying off, card still in hand.
"Ohhhh, I don't think he'll there...," doubted Cynthia in her tiny little voice, finally emerging from behind her brother's back to stare at Evinrude as he flew off into the sunset.
"He will. You'll see," Olivia said, confident as anything as she sat down in the street to help Timothy assemble a small bug-catching kit.
"He'll eat all the food," Timothy pointed out, snapping two parts of the kit together.
Olivia drew her attention away from the bug kit to whip out a bright red pencil and piece of paper from her pocket, which she slapped down on the ground and began scribbling away on furiously.
"I know. That's okay. I just want him to spread the word."
"The word?"
"Mmhm. When he sees how fun Mr. Pinky's class is, he'll report it to everyone in town!" she said, finishing up her drawing and whipping it up in front of her face in a flourish to show it to Timothy. Embedded in the paper lay a very crude child's drawing of Pinky, stick-figure-like, his paws outstretched as he shouted 'Yay!' amidst scores of little star-like fireworks. "And then he'll always have a full classroom!"
/\/\/\/\/\/\
September 22nd, 1993 - 2:10 PM
Two o'clock came swift and sharp at Acme Arts and Sciences, but not swiftly enough for the kids. Olivia, Timothy, and Cynthia all waited against Pinky's classroom door, looking a little anxious. Olivia had managed to get a pass for her friends to enter the school for a couple of hours, thanks to Mrs. Judson, but it still felt a little awkward. Cynthia, being only four years old in mouse years, got bored easily, and Timothy was running out of ways to keep her occupied. They hadn't brought any puzzles or coloring books or board games, Olivia insisting that they wouldn't need them; Pinky's classes provided enough entertainment on their own. But it was 2:10 and he still hadn't shown up yet. Had she gotten the day wrong...?
Timothy picked carefully at a loose thread on his jeans. He'd need to sow that later.
"He's taking a while, isn't he?" he asked, looking tired.
"He probably got lost in the school again...," Olivia offered, ears drooping under her fat tam-o-shanter.
Timothy had managed to occupy Cynthia with a game of Jacks he'd brought, but he knew that it would only entertain her for so long. Already, she was starting to get bored of the bouncing ball, which kept rolling off to a far part of the hallway where either she or one of the others had to go up and get it.
A minute passed.
"Maybe we came on the wrong day," Timothy offered, trying to sound sympathetic despite his fatigue.
Olivia said nothing.
Five more minutes tip-toed by, one slow step at a time. Olivia pulled her legs up closer to her chest despite the heat. Were the hallways always this hot..? Maybe someone left the air on too long...
Timothy had shuffled a little, and was looking suspiciously as if he was about to get up and leave, when suddenly, from around the corner, Mr. Ronald Pinkus came flying, rolls of posters tucked up under his arms and sweat flying from his brow. It was unfortunate that the Jack ball rolled out of Cynthia's grasp right at that moment. It was even more unfortunate that it was Pinky's foot that found it.
"Sorry, kids, I- ARGGHHHHHH!"
Down he went... ZIP! ... crashing to the floor in a heap, posters flying everywhere.
"Are you all right, Mr. Pinky?!" Olivia asked, flying up onto her feet and rushing to Pinky's side. Timothy and Cynthia also stood, the older brother taking the initiative as he stepped up to peer at Mr. Pinky, a little concerned.
Pinky groaned, eyes rolling. After a few seconds, he propped himself up tenderly, shaking his head to rid himself of the little brie cheeses now dancing around him. Olivia held his head gently as Pinky rubbed at his neck.
"That looked nasty," Timothy said. "You need an ice pack?"
"You keep an ice pack in your backpack?" Olivia asked.
"No. But my Mum probably would make me if I could..."
"I'm all right! Ha-ha. Just broke a bone is all," Pinky grimaced, trying to look cheerful.
"You broke a bone?!" Olivia exclaimed.
"Ohhhhhh...," seconded Cynthia, hiding behind her brother again.
Pinky pulled out from under him something wrapped in a white napkin. Opening it up, he dangled from his fingers a broken chicken wing.
"Ohhhhh... you killed the chicken!" gasped Cynthia, covering her eyes.
"My lunch. Oh, I'm so sorry, Mr. Chicken Wing. I'll make it up to you, I promise!" Pinky lamented.
"Sorry about your lunch, Mr. Pinky," Olivia said remorsefully, head hanging.
"It's all right, Olivia. No harm done," Pinky assured her, lifting up her chin and giving her an encouraging smile. She couldn't help but smile back as Pinky sat up proper and gathered up his things, the kids helping him. "Now, who are these lovely people?"
"This is Timothy, and that's Cynthia. She's his little sister," Olivia pointed out helpfully, picking some of the dropped posters up off the floor.
"Nice to meet you!" Pinky said cheerily, shaking Timothy's hand and offering a paw to Cynthia, who nervously declined.
"Nice to meet you, Sir," Timothy replied, perhaps a bit too opulently. "Olivia says you're quite the showman."
"Well, she would know," Pinky chuckled, taking the remaining posters from Olivia with a nod of thanks. "And there's more where that came from!"
He opened the door to his classroom, flicking the light on as he entered. A bulb popped out as Olivia stepped in after him. Pinky looked up at it curiously.
"Hm. Will have to get that fixed then," he said, setting his things down on the table.
Timothy slowly tip-toed inside, taking in the very plain sights and the very unusual smells (Gouda, some sort of leathery cologne, and was that... radish?), with Cynthia following behind him at a cautious pace. She didn't much care for the radish smell and wrinkled her nose at the unpleasant scent. Timothy, however, drank it all in. He rather thought it was an interesting blend of eclectic aromas and savored every one, eyes closed as he deeply inhaled, the whisper of a smile on his lips.
"What are we doing today, Mr. Pinky?" Olivia asked, already by his side as she eagerly looked up into his face.
"Well, Miss Olivia, we are going to go on an adventure!" he said, unraveling one of the big, thick posters with a flourish.
Olivia gasped excitedly, and Timothy's ears flicked as he looked over at Pinky, intrigued.
"What kind of an adventure?" asked Timothy.
"You'll seeeeeee!" Pinky winked. "Help me put these posters up, everyone!"
And so they each grabbed a poster, save for Cynthia. She still wasn't quite ready to make friends yet. Everyone picked a random portion of wall upon which to paste their sizeable poster, but it became apparent, after a few failed attempts to open up what kept wanting to roll back closed, that something was missing.
"Mr. Pinky?" Olivia mumbled, struggling a little as a large roll of poster traveled down the wall she was attempting to lay it onto and bumped into her face, ruffling her whiskers. She sneezed. Even the posters had a smell: tomato, with a hint of garlic. "Aren't we supposed to have something to keep the posters up on the wall?"
"I concur," groaned Timothy, having just as bad of a time as Cynthia. He eventually gave up, letting the poster fall... right onto his little sister. She squeaked. "Oh. Sorry, Cynthia," he apologized, plucking it off of her as she shook her head of the smell, although this one she rather liked.
"Ohhhhhhhh. That's what I was forgetting!" Pinky exclaimed, chuckling to himself. "Just a moment!"
And he ran back to his medical bag, dug around in it, and pulled out a small clear case filled with push-pins. He set it down on a nearby chair, the better for smaller mousies to reach.
"Here ya' go!" he offered, taking a few in his paw and returning to his poster.
The kids ran over to take a look. There were many push-pins, all different colors of the rainbow: blue, purple, yellow, green, pink, white, and more. Olivia thought they were quite pretty to look at. Even Cynthia couldn't help but step forward to take a closer look at the dazzling arrangement.
"Ooooo. Pretty!" she remarked, stretching out a paw to grab a handful.
"Hold up, Cynthia," Timothy said, throwing out an arm. "Those are sharp on the end. You don't want to get hurt."
Cynthia's ears drooped at this.
"Here. I'll pick four out for you. Hold out your paw. Come on."
Cynthia did as she was told. Timothy picked out and set gently in her hand four differently colored push-pins - violet, turquoise, sunshine-y yellow, and ivory. The youngest mouse's eyes went wide.
"Be careful with them, okay?"
"Okay," Cynthia mumbled, only partially listening. They were all so pretty. She wanted the whole case.
Push-pins in hand, the quartet found it much easier to hang up the posters. Not all stood at the same height, as the kids had to use chairs to get them at least high enough that the poster bottoms wouldn't lay out on the floor, but Pinky didn't seem to mind. He was just happy to have company, as were the kids. They talked about their posters as they put them up, and after fifteen minutes of pushing and pinning, they could admire their work.
Sixteen posters wrapped around the classroom, painting the walls with numerous vacation spots, national landmarks, and beautiful landscapes. Some featured tall waterfalls splashing down into azure blue pools below; others seemed lost in a lush rainforest decorated with vibrantly-patterned butterflies; but most of them highlighted the beach. There were posters of alluring islands, sandy California backdrops, and palm trees set against brilliant sunsets. It was enough to make anyone want to jump into one of those appealing vistas right then and there and float away - get lost in paradise.
"What now, Mr. Pinky?" Olivia asked, voice drowning in excitement and anticipation. Whatever came next, it had to be good.
"Nooooooow," prefaced Pinky, flashing his toothy grin, "We get out the boat!"
And from a far corner of the room, he pulled a large cardboard box; just big enough for all four of them to sit rather uncomfortably in. Pinky initiated, setting the box in front of the desk and jumping inside of it.
"Come on, everyone!" he encouraged, motioning them with a hand to join him.
"Woo! Yes!" Olivia exclaimed, hopping in and sitting down between Pinky's legs without a second thought. "Come on, guys!" she called to the others.
Timothy looked a little suspicious. He walked all the way around the box, inspecting it inside and out, before standing in front of it, arms folded, and tossing a very questioning glance indeed at the mice.
"You sure?"
"Absolutely!" Pinky confirmed. "Come on! You're gonna miss all the fun!"
"Yeah, come on, Timothy! It won't hurt," Olivia reassured him with a helpful smile.
"I'm not scared," Timothy admitted, squishing in to sit, a little cramped, in front of Olivia as he said it.
Only Cynthia remained. Timothy reached out both arms for her.
"Come on, silly," he invited, but she remained suspicious. Two little paws crawled up over the edge as she took a peek inside.
"Is it going to hurt?" she asked.
"Olivia just said it wouldn't, so come on," prodded Timothy again, and this time she slipped into his arms, taking a spot on his lap as she looked around, a bit nervous.
"All right, kids. You ready?" Pinky asked.
"Ready!" Olivia replied.
"Ready... I think." Timothy responded.
Cynthia said nothing.
"Alllll right. Start rowing!" Pinky commanded, and he began rowing the make-shift "boat" with imaginary oars, Olivia following suit, with Timothy hesitantly joining in a few seconds later. Cynthia simply sat there on her big brother's lap, giggling a little as she watched them all row.
"Okay. Now, clooooooose your eyes...," Pinky instructed. They all obeyed. Well, almost all... "Aaaaaand... OPEN THEM!"
They did as he was told... and GASPED.
No longer were they on the floor of an abandoned school classroom, sitting in a cardboard box surrounded by promises of tropical get-a-ways painting the walls. They were actually on the ocean, nestled inside a little white dinghy boat, and encompassed about by skies of deep blue, orange, and pink, with picturesque clouds completing the image. To their port and starboard sides, dolphins leapt gaily along with them, and in the distance, straight ahead of them, lay a magnificent island, decorated elaborately with all manner of palm trees, and promising a very grand adventure indeed.
Olivia clapped and cheered, bouncing up and down in her seat in pure ecstasy.
"I told you! I told you! He's a magician!" Olivia told Timothy with great exuberance, Pinky chuckling behind her as he continued rowing.
Timothy's mouth was agape in pure wonderment, his eyes as wide as saucers. How... was this possible? He said nothing as he stared all about him, head turning this way and that to take in the sights, sounds, and smells surrounding him, bombarding his senses, practically lifting him off his feet.
"Wow...," he finally breathed out, a smile crawling up his face. "This is so high..."
"Come again..?" Pinky asked, his ears dropping alarmingly as he slowed down his rowing to stare concernedly at the boy.
"Huh?"
"This is so... what?"
"Oh. High. Like... way up high? Like when you're up at the top of a tall tree and feel like you're flying? It's cool."
Pinky chuckled. He couldn't help it.
"You might want to use a different word when around adults there. Just sayin'."
Timothy cocked an eyebrow at him, but didn't say anything against it. He simply shrugged.
Cynthia was the only one of the set who hadn't yet found the wonderment in the situation. As far as she could see, they were still in the same box on the same floor in the same classroom. They were all cuckoo.
"What are you guys talking about? I don't see anything!" she complained, turning this way and that on her brother's lap in the hopes that she might catch a glimpse of a seagull or a dolphin.
"That's because you didn't close your eyes, Cynthia," Timothy said matter-of-factly.
"Yes. You have to close your eyes!" concurred Olivia.
"Close your eyes, Cynthia, and only open them when I say!" Pinky said.
"Okay...," said Cynthia, doing as she was told.
"All right... Aaaaaaaaaand... OPEN THEM!"
Cynthia opened her eyes.
"Woooooooooaaaaaaaaaaah...!"
"Told you!" Olivia beamed, giggling.
"Are we on the ocean..?!" Cynthia gasped, jumping a little as a dolphin flew out of the water right next to them, diving back in with a splash and spraying them all with sea droplets. They shook their fur, laughing.
"We most certainly are! Do you like it?" Pinky asked, just a tinge of uncertainty peppering his tone.
Cynthia had to think about this for two whole seconds. Then she blurted out her answer.
"YES!"
Pinky smiled.
"Are we going all the way to that island?" Olivia asked, pointing to the floating figure seemingly miles ahead of them.
"You betcha! And we'll need music to do it."
Out of nowhere, he pulled out a small boombox, clicked "Play" on the top for the CD player, and out belted a familiar tune. Both Pinky and Olivia started singing it right away, with Timothy and Cynthia joining in to hum along with the tune.
Just sit right back, And you'll hear a tale, A tale of a fateful trip, That started from this tropic port, Aboard this tiny ship...
At the start of the music, the boat zoomed off of its own accord towards the island, powered by the wind, the sea, and the song.
/\/\/\/\/\/\
4:00 PM
The kids left classroom 210 with spirits high and hearts glowing. Olivia thanked Pinky over and over again, Timothy was still commenting on how their adventure felt like something right out of a movie, and Cynthia lamented that she couldn't keep the little hulu skirt she'd strung. One's imagination, it seemed, could only take things so far. Nothing they physically created in the classroom could be brought outside of it. Once they stepped off the island, all manner of sun, sea, and sand was gone, including anything they'd gathered or made on the island. The box was just a box; the floor just a floor; the posters just posters. It was as if none of it had ever happened. But the memories remained.
"Oh, thank you, Mr. Pinky!" Olivia thanked him for the thousandth time. "I'll bring more next time!"
"No worries, Olivia! Shall I put you all down on my class list then?" Pinky asked, whipping out a clipboard, complete with paper and pen, and holding the pen at the ready.
"Yes, please! You're coming again, right?" she asked her friends.
Timothy thought for a moment. As exciting as it all had been, one had to be practical, after all; at least, Timothy did.
"Well, as long as our Mum says it's all right, then I suppose that would be fine," he conceded, smiling. "I'll go ask her. I think she's working today."
"Oh, please, can we? I wanna go back to the island!" Cynthia squeaked, bouncing up and down as she pulled at Timothy's shirt sleeve.
"We will, as long as Mum says it's okay."
"We'd better go. Will we see you tomorrow, Mr. Pinky?" Olivia asked hopefully.
"2:00 o'clock sharp," Pinky said, winking at her.
Off they went, leaving Pinky behind to stare after them fondly. He smiled and went back into his classroom, closing the door behind him with a soft snap.
"So what do you think?" Olivia asked as the three kids headed down the hallway.
"I like him!" Cynthia piped up immediately.
"I like him, too," Timothy said. "Too bad Evinrude didn't show up."
"Oh, that's all right. He'll come eventually. He'll want to eat all the snacks!"
All three of them laughed, gay as little summer flowers as they made their way to Mrs. Brisby's classroom.

October 1st, 1993
Over a week had passed since Pinky, Olivia, Timothy, and Cynthia had traveled to their own little Gilligan's Island. Fall was in full swing, with red, orange, and yellow decorating the campus, pumpkin muffins and apple cider stalls set up in various spots around the school, and warm sweaters and boots taking the place of short-sleeved shirts and sandals. The usual hall chatter and gossip traveled throughout the university, with topics ranging from the latest Beverly Hills: 90210 episode... to Nirvana's album release from last month, or, if you were one of the computer nerds, raving over some new game called Myst.
Talk of Halloween was already in the air, with the occasional crow figure or carved Jack-o'-lantern popping up here or there in a classroom. Pinky was considering throwing a party in light of the occasion. Many of the teachers excitedly agreed. Some did not. Basil thought it was a foolish affair, and Mr. Ages could very well have done without. Globetrotter heartily concurred. Strangely, the principal, a normally very hard-lined individual, was all for it. Those who knew him well, however, would have said that costuming and a flair for the dramatic was undoubtedly his thing, and that he wouldn't pass up an opportunity to show off in a vampire wardrobe or kingly dress. While some were turned off by the possibility of his showing up, others were all the more intrigued, and conversation over the matter increased tenfold.
The only thing more interesting than Halloween parties or album covers were Pinky's classes. Olivia had managed to gather up a few more friends over the course of a week. The news had spread fast. Timothy had told Despereaux, who had told Ralph, who had then told Nibbles. Olivia spread the word to Abigail, whom had then blabbed to Teresa and Martin, Timothy and Cynthia's elder sister and brother. One by one, they all showed up, day-by-day. Even Evinrude popped in once or twice, although not because he wanted to. He just wanted to "check on the kids; make sure they were okay" according to him. Olivia rolled her eyes at this, not at all blind to his grabbing a hearty helping of snacks at the end of each session.
Gilligan's Island turned out to be a popular travel spot in Pinky's class. It was the most requested and undoubtedly the most talked about. The theme song alone ended up making the rounds throughout the school. It started with Olivia whistling or humming it down the halls, caught on when several teachers and students copied her, and now whenever she skipped about the university pupils and instructors would often whistle the tune back to her. Even Basil caught himself humming along now and again, although he'd quickly cease and desist, shaking his head, when he realized what he was doing.
The first actual university student to sign up for Trozology was Teresa. She'd been pulled into it by Timothy, and her brother Martin soon followed suit. She'd been hesitant at first; after all, signing up for a new class this late into the semester was unusual, and not even allowed most of the time, but her siblings' interest in it was intriguing. What was meant to be a one-time dip in the pool ended up becoming a daily swimming excursion. Trozology, whatever it was, came with no homework, no punishment for answering a question wrong, no heavy books to lift, and, best of all, no stress. It was the first class she'd ever attended where she felt like she could be herself, and was a welcome reprieve amidst the chaos that was piles upon piles of essays, tests, and expectations she felt were upon her to succeed. This, she thought, would be beneficial to others who were also struggling. She had to tell someone...
"Someone" ended up being a couple of friends in the school. Although they didn't sign up, the idea of being transported to other tangible worlds simply via imagination alone was intriguing, even if they didn't entirely believe her. It was certainly more interesting than most anything else in the school, and Teresa's response to the class was so infectious that they couldn't help but pass by Pinky's classroom door window every now and again to take a peek. All they ever saw, however, was the teacher and maybe half a dozen kids "rowing" in a box on the floor, or standing on top of the desk pretending to climb a mountain, or sometimes just sitting in chairs watching tv. It certainly didn't look very exciting.
"No no! You have to actually participate!" Teresa insisted. "You have to commit!"
Still, no one else signed up, but Teresa continued to attend, perfectly at home with Pinky and the kids. It was fortunate that the principal never came out of his office past 5:00 PM. It was common knowledge that he detested children. Mrs. Judson only allowed them all entrance due to the area and the hour - Pinky's room was located in a section of hallway that the principal rarely frequented, and since his classes always started at 2:00 PM and went no later than 4:00 PM, it got a pass.
/\/\/\/\/\/\
7:01 PM
Down the hall and around a corner, an hour after having dismissed his last class for the day, Globetrotter exited the room, shut the heavy, mahogany door and locked it. His was one of only four doors in the entire university that was equipped with such a mechanism; at least, regarding personnel rooms. The other three were the principal's office, the janitor's closet, and the nurse's office. He'd paid for the installation himself. It wasn't that anything had ever been stolen from his classroom. Indeed, if one pillaged it they'd surely find nothing worth stealing. Globetrotter was simply paranoid, and everyone knew it.
He was late. On some nights, he took to grading students' homework on the property instead of at home, partially to get it over with sooner, but mainly because he wanted to spend extra time in the lab. No one questioned his staying back late. No one would dare to. What he estimated would take half an hour took half an hour more than that. Martha's grammar simply needed policing, and he wouldn't stand for Trevor's snide remark about the Germ-Line Theory being conclusive. If he needed to linger for an entire hour for the sake of science then so be it.
Snap went the door, and Click went the lock as Globetrotter bowed from his office (the better to pick up his heavy suitcase) and made for the elevator.
Back around the corner and down the hall, Pinky closed shut his door, which he did not lock, and made for room three-nineteen. He knocked. There was no answer.
"Hmmmm," Pinky mused.
"Mr. Globetrotter...?" he called, knocking again. "I have something for youuuu!"
Still nothing. Perhaps he'd gone home?
Ding.
Pinky's ears perked. Of course. He must have taken the elevator.
Off he skipped to the elevator hall. No one there. But he could hear the whirring of the machine, and as he looked up at the lit numbers above, he saw that the little arrow was slowly moving down... down... down to the basement level. Goody! That wasn't very far down. He could take the stairwell.
And that's just what he did. Down... down... down to the basement. He hummed as he went, and his humming turned into whistling. He liked the echo it made in the stairwell. It was a bouncy little tune, rather monotonous in nature, but also rather catchy. He wasn't quite sure where it came from, or why it came, but he liked it all the same.
He peeked around the door corner as he made to exit the stairwell, and was about to wave at and call out to Globetrotter, when he paused, keeping uncharacteristically quiet as he watched Brain step off the elevator, shuffle up to the wall, and place his hand on the wall. A little spot on it glowed green, acknowledging his paw print, and the wall... opened up.
Pinky almost gasped out loud, but slapped a paw over his mouth just in time. Once Globetrotter had disappeared behind the wall, Pinky tip-toed up to it and stared at it for a long while, which, for him, was about ten seconds.
"Brain?" he pondered, curious.
What was it he was doing back there?
Pinky looked at the wall. There was no green panel that he could see, but there was a square-ish gray one. He tapped on it tentatively. Nothing happened.
"Hmmm."
He looked at it more closely. There was a little groove in the side. He picked at it.
The little door swung open.
Sure enough, there was the panel. It glowed a bright green color as soon as it was exposed. Pinky cocked his head, looked at his left paw, and touched it to the pad. As soon as he did so, it glowed red and beeped angrily at him twice. No good.
He tried again, and again. Nothing. He even tried putting his foot on it, then his tail, then his tongue, but no matter what he did, it wouldn't gain him access. Seemed like it was Pinky-proof; friendly only to Globetrotter. He sighed and pressed his ear against the wall. If he strained his auditory senses, he could just make out the sound of fingers tapping on a keyboard.
"Naaaaaaarf," he remarked to himself in a whisper. "Egad. What are you doing in there, Brain?"
He listened again. Now he could hear bottles clinking around; papers being shuffled. Now nothing at all. And now, swiftly, suddenly, the sound of footsteps slapping across the floor eagerly, drawing ever closer... and closer, right towards the wall...
---------------------
Author's Notes:
- The potion colors represent aspects of Brain's personality. Cinnamon: Potent, with a bite. Emerald: Outlook on self as royalty/important. Green is also associated with greed and ambition. Lilac: Can symbolize confidence and love. He has a soft heart deep down. Azure: Associated with the sky. I'd like to think of it as he has high and lofty ambitions/goals, but, like the sky (or the ocean), which leads up into space, he's also a vast pool of intrigue and mystery. There's a lot about him that is hidden and undiscovered.
- I thought about making Brain left-handed, but went with ambidextrous instead.
- Brain dealing with bowel issues is a joke, although it will still have pertinence in the story. I just find the idea of a high-ranking professor who considers himself very dignified dealing with explosive diarrhea incredibly funny. XD

Your Favorite Song (Kamijirou)
KaminarixJirou college AU, background Todomomo
Rating: Mature/Explicit
summary: Kyoka Jirou moves in across the hall from a boy who might actually be less ‘annoying boy next door’ and more ‘someone worth watching’
At first, she thought he was annoying.
Move-in day was already stressful enough, and Jirou was moving in a week early to prepare since she was living off campus with her best friend.  That meant that her junior year was already off to a better start then the last two.  The dorms had been hell.
The problem had arisen with her neighbor.
“Hey, you moving in?” A cheerful voice called from the door right across from hers. Jirou turned, holding a box in her hands.  She looked to the box and then back to the boy who had addressed her.  
He had long,  blonde hair, pulled up into a loose bun, pieces hanging out in the front.  He wore and old band t-shirt and acid wash jeans, and he was leaning against his doorframe, grinning at her.  
“Obviously,” She said by way of reply.
He blinked, obviously not expecting that sort of answer.  “Um.  Did you need any help?”
“Nah, I’ve got it,” she said, “I’m almost done.”
“I’m Kaminari Denki, by the way,” he said, following her into the apartment.  She set her box down on the dining room table and turned around, running her hand through her sweaty bangs.  “Jirou Kyoka.”
He reached out his hand, grinning at her.  She sighed and shook his hand, pulling it back as quickly as she could without being rude.  
“Nice to meet you.”  He shoved his hands in his pockets.  “I guess I’ll be seeing you around, since we’re neighbors and all.”
She crossed her arms.  “Yeah.  I guess.”
A knock at the open door alerted Jirou to her saviors.  “Momo!  Todoroki!” 
“We saw the door was open, everything okay?”  Her best friend and now roommate, Momo, said worriedly.  
“Yeah, I just have a couple more boxes left.”  Jirou gestured to Kaminari.  “This guy’s our neighbor.”
“Oh, nice to meet you,” Momo said cheerfully.  “I’m Yaoyorozu.”  
Kaminari kept grinning.  “Yeah, nice to meet you too.”
Todoroki picked up the box Jirou had left on the table and carried it further into the apartment without saying anything to anyone else. 
“That’s my boyfriend, Todoroki.  He’s like that.  Shy.”  Momo smiled apologetically and disappeared further into the apartment.  
Jirou turned back to Kaminari.  “So, um… You should probably get the fuck out.” 
He blinked. “Oh, yeah.  My bad.”
“It’s fine, just… We have a lot to do.  You get it.”
“Yeah!  Yeah, of course!”  He looked around awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck.  “I’ll see you around?”
“Probably.”
Kaminari hustled back to his own apartment, shutting the door quietly.  Jirou felt bad for just a moment, but she wasn’t lying.  She had a lot to do to unpack, and get ready for the start of classes… She didn’t have time for new friends, or anything else. 
Kaminari showed up in two of her classes, which surprised her quite a bit because up until this year she’d literally never seen him before.  He sat next to her in Biology, grinning at her.
“Hey, neighbor.”
She smirked a little.  “Get up late?”
“Huh?  What do you mean?”
“You hair.  It’s everywhere.”  She gestured to her own head.  “You look like Pikachu.”
He wrinkled his nose at her.  “There are worse Pokemon to be compared to.”
“You think?”
“Oh, for sure.”  The grin stayed plastered on his face.  “Did you move in okay?”
She tucked her hair behind her ear, looking at her notebook.  “Yeah.  We’re pretty settled.”
“Cool, I’m glad to hear it.”
The professor came in then, and the conversation stopped there, but Jirou was surprised that this guy was trying to talk to her at all.  Guys weren’t usually scrambling to hang out with her, and she wasn’t sure why Kaminari was hanging around her at all.  After class, she got up and left before he could even open his mouth to say something else to her.
As time passed, she reluctantly let Kaminari get a little closer to her.  He poked and prodded at her, asking questions about herself until she’d say something like “Damn, Kaminari, what kind of interrogation is this?” And he’d laugh, but he’d stop.
He found out she played guitar and begged her to teach him, which was where the trouble started.  Being in his apartment was surprisingly intimate, but having him in hers was way worse.  It all depended on who’s roommates were home, and if Momo wasn’t out with Todoroki or one of their other friends, Kaminari’s roommate, Sero, was.  And Jirou found herself liking Kaminari’s company. 
After lessons, they would still hang out, and he’d play her a new song he’d heard or she’d recommend something from her huge mental library.  She laid back on the couch, in her apartment this time, him sitting at the far end by her feet, as she showed him a personal favorite.  
“It’s good,” Kaminari said, bobbing his head.  She laughed, closing her eyes.  “I thought you’d like it.”
“So I take it you don’t hate me as much as you did when you moved in?” “Huh? I never hated you!” “You told me to get the fuck out!”
“No, Pikachu, I didn’t hate you.  You’re annoying, though.”
“Don’t you mean I was annoying?”
She sat up, looking at him carefully.  “No.  You’re annoying.  Currently.”
He pouted at her a little.  “Come on.  You like me a little bit.”
She shrugged. “Just because I hang out with you doesn’t mean I don’t think you’re annoying.”  Getting to her feet, she ruffled his hair. “Do you want a beer?”
Kaminari huffed, and she got the feeling she missed something monumental, said the wrong thing.
“Sure.”
************
At Momo’s insistence that she didn’t go out enough, Jirou started to attend more social events and gatherings.  Their friends were fun, but Momo and Todoroki were absolutely no fun at these events, usually drinking wine and sitting at the dining room table of whatever frat house they’d managed to end up in.  Jirou had to smile a little bit when she saw them together, though.  They really were like two puzzle pieces.  
Kaminari came to a lot of the same parties too, but he had a habit of being a ‘life of the party’ drunk and an even worse flirt.  
But he didn’t flirt with her.  
And it bothered her.
And she wasn’t sure why.
“He likes you, I think,” her friend, Mina, told her one night, when they were both several shots deep.
“Who?” Jirou asked, squinting.
“Kaminari.  Won’t shut up about you when I go over to visit Sero.”
“You and Sero have a thing?”
“No!  Oh my God, what?! Even if I did, I don’t wanna talk about me!”  Mina poked her shoulder.  “He thinks you’re too good for him, though.  Kaminari… Not Sero.  I’m not sure Sero thinks.  Thinks you want someone smarter, is what he said… Kaminari.”  Mina was slurring a little, but 
Jirou frowned.  She wasn’t sure she believed any of that.  She looked up to see the object of their conversation.  He looked nice.  Black button down shirt rolled up to his sleeves paired with jeans and his hair swept back off his face.  He was good looking, she had to admit it, and she knew that their time hanging out and playing guitar together sucked up most of his free time.  And there he was, striking out with another girl.  Jirou sighed and looked back to Mina.  
“If he liked me, he wouldn’t pull that shit.”  She pointed at him for emphasis.  “...Besides, I don’t even think I like him that way.”
“Ohhhh my God, but you totally do!  You look at him the same way he looks at you, but only when he’s not looking.” Mina giggled, then hiccuped.  “I should sober up.”
Jirou stood and noticed that the world tilted a little.  “Yeah, me too.”  She glanced over to Kaminari again, who seemed to be laying on the charm thick with another girl, one she didn’t recognize from their school, and his hand was on her waist.  Jirou felt bile roll up into her throat and closed her eyes against it.  It would be safe to throw up, she thought, since she was drunk, but she would know that wasn’t the reason.  
Mina wobbled to her feet next to her and Jirou glanced over.
“I’m going home,” She announced, stumbling a little.  “All the way the fuck home.”
“Are you mad?  You look mad.” “Tell Yaomomo I’m fine if she asks,” Jirou tossed over her shoulder, leaving the party before anyone could say anything else to her.  She couldn’t quite remember where she was, though.  She’d never been to this house before tonight.  She swallowed hard and tried to concentrate, pulling out her phone.  If she could just get her address typed in-
“Hey! Jirou!”  A definitely-more-sober-than-her Kaminari bounded down the stairs.  “You shouldn’t walk alone when you’re like this.”
She blinked. “I’m okay.  I’m not really that drunk.”
He furrowed his brows as she turned away from him.  “Hey, look, I mean it.  You’re drunk, let me walk you home.” She winced.  “I saw you were busy, though.  You don’t have to come with me.”  She wrenched her arm out of his grasp.  “I’ll see you tomorrow.”
She started walking, but he kept pace with her as she tried and failed to plug her address into her phone.  She bit back tears of frustration, anger at the boy next to her, all of it.  Why couldn’t she just be a girl that guys liked?  She wasn’t Momo or Mina, she’d never had that kind of confidence.  
“Whoa!”  
Her thoughts were cut off as she tripped over the uneven concrete of the sidewalk and Kaminari caught her, arms wrapped firmly around her waist.  
“Hey, are you okay?” He asked softly.
He was way too close.  And she was way too drunk to trust herself.  She pushed at his chest.  “Let me go, you idiot, I’m fine.”
“You almost wiped out on the sidewalk.  I think a thank you is in order.”  He stepped back from her, though, and took her phone from her, slipping it into his own pocket.  “You can have it back when I get you home.”
She could’ve punched him.  Really wanted to, actually.  “Fine,” she spit out.  “But you’re not allowed to hold this above my head.”
His eyes softened a little.  “You think I would use helping you as a form of blackmail?”
“I don’t know what the fuck you do.”
“Whoa.  What’s that supposed to mean?”
She shot him a dirty look and just started walking.  It must have been the right direction, because Kaminari sighed, shoving his hands in his pockets, and fell into step beside her.  She glanced over at him, watching him walk.  He was pretty, dammit.  The roots of his hair were dark from sweat, and a drop travelled down his neck and headed towards his collarbones. Jirou’s brain almost shorted out at the sight.  
“Has anyone ever told you you’re really confusing?” He asked, breaking into her increasingly dirty thoughts.  
“No.”
“Yeah.  Probably not.  You’re scary.”  He smiled at her, though.  
“I’m not scary,” she shot back, rolling her eyes.
“Yes you are.  I’m surprised I worked up the courage to talk to you at all when I first saw you.”
“Courage?”
“Yeah.  You looked so cool.  You are cool. And you’re teaching my useless ass guitar.”
“You’re not useless.”
“Whoa, I thought for sure you’d have a joke for that.”
“I’m drunk.”
“Point taken.”
He walked her all the way to her apartment, and when she opened the door, she found herself wanting to invite him in.  She kind of wanted to kiss him, too.  Maybe kiss him in the apartment.  
“I ruined your night,” she said softly.  
“Nah.  I wasn’t having that much fun anyway.” “That girl-”
“I wouldn’t have been able to live with myself if I let you walk home alone.”  He pulled her phone out of his pocket and presented it to her grandly.  “As promised.”
She laughed, and glanced up at him.  “Thanks.”
Against her will, and maybe it was just because she was drunk and emotional, she reached up and wrapped her arms around his neck.  It was embarrassing, how quickly he hugged her back, nose pressed to her neck.  
“Are you drunk?” She whispered.
“No,” he whispered back. “I was a couple hours ago, but not now.”
“I’m really drunk.”
He chuckled.  “I know, Jirou.”
“I should go to bed.” 
“Mm.”
Come with me.  I want to breathe you in.  I want to follow you into Hell.  I want your body to show me Heaven.  Kiss me, just once.  I have to get you out of my system.
“Goodnight, Kaminari.”
“Goodnight, Jirou.
She went into her apartment.  Alone.  Even drunk, she wasn’t brave enough to tell him she wanted him.  
But now, for the first time, she was forced to admit it to herself.  
******************
Nothing changed for a while. Momo’s eyebrows had shot up when Jirou told her that Kaminari walked her home, and even Todoroki had muttered an “Is that so?”.  Mina had been the most excited, but Jirou was still convinced it didn’t mean anything.  They weren’t like that.  
It was their first lesson after Christmas break that everything was different.  Jirou was wearing a sweater that Kaminari had loaned her when she didn’t have anything heavy to wear to the airport, and she was embarrassed to admit she’d worn it several times over the break, tucking her nose into it to catch his cologne.  
They’d set their guitars aside and Jirou lay on the couch in his apartment, shuffling the music to play on the speaker that sat on the coffee table.  Kaminari was sitting next to her, but his fingers were drumming a beat on the top of her foot.  
“Thanks for teaching me.”
“You don’t have to keep thanking me, dumbass.”
“I want to, though.  It’s a lot to ask, I know.”
“Mm.”  
“How… How was your break?”
She looked over her knees at him.  “It was fine.  Not too eventful.  How was yours?”
They didn’t do small talk.  It was weird.  But he’d started it, and she had a feeling it was for a reason.
“It… It was good.  I missed you.”
She smirked a little.  “Did you?  Hang on, are you blushing?”
“No!” he turned away from her, and she tossed her phone down on the table, sitting up on her knees to look at him closer.  Without thinking, she grabbed his face and made him look at her.  
“You are!”
“Hey, don’t tease me.” 
“Too late!  Oh my God, look how pink you are, what?  What are you blushing for?”
“Shut up,” he laughed, jamming his fingers into her sides.  She squeaked and fell back, laughing and fighting back against him. 
They’d never wrestled before, but she ended up on her back again on the couch, Kaminari hovering over her, one hand on the armrest by her head, the other on her waist over her borrowed sweater.   The air turned hot as the smile slipped from Kaminari’s face as he looked down at her. 
“I mean it,” he choked out, “I really missed you.”
“We text like, everyday.”
“Not the same as seeing you, hanging out with you.  I-” his breath hitched, “I think that I-”
She watched him struggle for several moments before taking pity on him.  She cupped his cheeks again, softer this time, palms covered by her sleeves, and leaned up to kiss him.
She’d always imagined a first kiss with someone would be explosive, but no one she’d kissed had ever made her feel that way until now. She felt electricity course through her body when their lips touched and she swallowed his gasp of surprise.  
She was so afraid for a moment that she got it wrong, but then Kaminari moved his hand from her waist to fist into her hair and all of a sudden she wasn’t in charge anymore.  His kisses were desperate, as if he’d been waiting a thousand years to kiss her.  She felt her brows furrow as she poured everything she could into him, shifting her knees to clench against his hips.  He let out a groan and broke away from her. 
“Jirou.”
“Yeah, Pikachu?”
“I really fucking missed you.”
“I missed you too.”
“Are you just saying that?” “No,” she shook her head. “I missed you.  I did.” He descended upon her again, having gotten the answer he wanted.  His hand went to the back of one of her knees, pulling her leg up over his hip and grinding down against her.  She gasped, wrenching her mouth from his. He wasted no time in pressing urgent kisses to her neck, down to her collarbones, pulling the collar of the sweatshirt down to mark her skin with his teeth.  
One of her hands threaded in his hair, and she curled her fingers in at the root, pushing him closer to her.  
“This is my sweatshirt,” he said, “I didn’t expect you to actually wear it.” “It’s warm,” She admitted breathlessly, staring down at him, his head so near her breast making heat flood her whole body and her thighs clench.  “It smells like you.”
“Yeah, does it?”
“Oh shut up, smug doesn't suit you.”
“I think I have a right to be smug,” he said, sliding his hand up under the shirt and palming her over her bra.  “The hottest girl I’ve ever met is saying she wore my sweatshirt cause it smells like me.”
“Don’t repeat it, that makes me sound gross.”
“I like it.”
“Yeah?  You would.”
“Mm.”
He shut up then, kissing her once more, and Jirou found herself growing bolder, running her hands through his hair and down his back.  He kissed her deeply, as though he couldn’t get close enough to her, even though his hands were against her bare skin and his tongue was in her mouth.  
Feeling bold, and for the first time, finally confident that he felt something for her, she reached down to the front of his jeans, cupping him firmly.
“This for me?”
“Yeah.  Always is, these days.”
“These days?”
“Yeah, since, like, I met you- fuck, Kyoka, chill out, do you want this to go anywhere?”
“When is Sero coming home?” 
“I don’t know.  C’mon.”  He wrapped his arms under her waist and tugged her up, standing with her legs wrapped around her waist.  She did her best to distract him, teeth at his neck and hands running under his clothes.  Kaminari carried her to his bedroom and tossed her onto the middle of his bed before slamming and locking the door.  She hurriedly stripped herself of the sweater and watched him unbutton his shirt with shaky hands and toss it aside before crawling over her, a gleam in his eyes she’d never seen before. 
“Are you okay?” He asked once he was face to face with her again.  
“Yeah, perfect.”
“...Yeah, you sure are.”  He kissed her again and suddenly Jirou was tired of waiting.  She reached down and unbuckled his jeans, relishing in the hiss he let out against her lips, and he pulled down her bottoms in retaliation, until finally they were both naked, eyes blown wide as they stared at each other.  There was no going back now.  This was it.  He kissed down her chest to envelope a nipple in his mouth, lavishing his full attention on one breast and then the other, making every thought in her head turn to dust. 
He reached down, pressing against where she needed him most and watching in almost awe as her head tipped back and her mouth fell open.  Her hands gripped his upper arms and she drew her knees up, on either side of his hips again.  
He watched her for reactions, avoiding the one spot that would send her into orbit.  She pulled a hand off of his arm and smacked his chest. 
“Denki, can you quit fucking with me?”
“I thought that was the whole point.  Say my name again.”
“Ah, ah, you’re gonna get a complex now.”
He kissed her again, deep and long, and gave her what she wanted, fingers deep.  He pulled back, whispering against her lips, “Say it again.”
“Denki.”  It came out as a whine, but she was too turned on to even attempt to be embarrassed that the class idiot with a million watt smile had reduced her to whining.
“Are you ready?”
“Yeah.  Yes.  Yes.”  
He pulled off and out of her to hurriedly grab a condom before he situated himself over her.  That was when Jirou decided that wasn’t how she wanted it.  Hooking her leg around his, she bit his pulse point, and while he was weak and moaning in her ear, flipped them over so she was on top. 
“I’m impressed,” He said breathlessly, eyes glazed over. 
“Yeah?”
“Fuck yeah.”
She kissed him again and slid over him, rocking back until they were fully pressed against each other. 
And suddenly she felt whole.  
He sat up, now completely inside her, and scooted them back so his back was against the headboard, but the friction that move alone caused made Jirou groan and lean into his neck.  
Kaminari chuckled, running a hand through her hair. “My bad.  Sorry.”
“No, it was good.”  She started moving her hips, realizing that he was waiting on her.  He gasped, grabbing at her waist and letting her dictate the movements. She rested her forehead against his, arms draped around his neck. 
“Fuck.  You’re so hot. You’re so beautiful like this, you’re so beautiful, you have no idea-” Kaminari’s ramblings were cut off as she grinded down onto him.  He really was letting her take full control, and she wasn’t sure why.  She kind of wanted to compete with him, tease him, even now.  
“Hey, after that party last semester, when you walked me home-” Jirou gasped, grasping his shoulders in a bruising grip.  “Did you- what would you have done if I’d invited you in?”
“I wouldn’t have- you were so drunk,” he kissed her jaw, pulling her close and sucking on the skin of her neck.  “But to know you wanted me… I probably would’ve manned up and said something the next day. “
“Really?  You wouldn’t have taken me then?  Fucked me on the couch before Momo got back?”
Seemingly tired of being submissive, and spurred on by her words, Kaminari flipped her over and snapped his hips, driving into her harder and at a new angle, making her cry out and grip at his hair.  “I sure would’ve thought about it.  That night.”
“Yeah.”
“Mmhm.”
His voice was completely strained and she realized they couldn’t talk anymore.  He buried his face in her neck, panting, breath moistening her skin.  Her eyes fell closed and she dug her fingers into his back, chanting his name as she reached the peak.  
Falling over the edge with him was something she never would’ve expected to be so wonderful.  They cried out at the same time, hands clutching, mouths seeking, until they were both completely spent, Kaminari laying on top of her, gasping for air.  
She ran her hands through his sweaty hair and closed her eyes, feeling peace wash over her. “I know I tease you a lot,” she said softly, pressing her lips to his ear. “But I really like you.” He huffed out a laugh and squeezed her tight around the middle. “I sure hope so, after that.”
The two of them cleaned up almost wordlessly, and without discussing it, they climbed back into his bed together, facing each other.  
“What does this mean, for us?” Kaminari asked, staring down at her hand, which he held in both of his. “I can’t… Go back to sitting next to you in Bio and pretend this didn’t happen.”
“Um.  We could go out. Be a thing.  You wouldn’t… Flirt with other girls at parties.”
His eyes snapped up to hers.  “Is that why you were mad at me, that night?”
In for a penny.  “Yeah.”
“I wasn’t… Oh, God, Kyoka, no, I was just… So nervous, every time we’d be at one of those things tomorrow, and I knew I didn’t deserve you, I still know that I don’t deserve you, but… The reason I never flirted with you like I flirted with them was because I couldn’t stand the thought of losing you or hurting you.”
“So you’re okay with being… Stuck with me, now?”
“I’ve been praying to be stuck with you.”
“Denki?”
“Yeah?” “Thanks for not… Fucking off.”
He laughed, but knew what she meant.  Gathering her into his arms, he pressed a kiss to the top of her head.  “Anytime.”

WFC: Siege watch!
Part 1: Episodes 1, 2, and 3
[Part 2] (Linking because Tumblr isn’t even showing the post on my blog or on my dash 🙄)
As a side note: every single person in this fandom is horrible at tagging their spoilers, you guys really need to do a better job at that because I’ve got a bunch of blockers on and I was STILL almost spoiled multiple times. Come on you guys...it literally came out today, be better about this.
Alright going to try and keep expectations low because I feel like the target audience for this is G1 dudebros who take a series about transforming cars way too seriously, but I’m still cautiously optimistic because a friend vetted for the dudes working on this show so WE”LL SEE
Episode 1
Aw man there’s only 6 episodes??? Bummer, I wonder if they’re already working on Season 2 or if they’re going to see how this does and let it die in the water if it’s not popular enough.
Things I know going in: Skyfire / Jetfire is in this, Megatron has big lips, and Elita is in it. That’s literally it, I’ve managed to avoid spoilers thusfar (though a few of the promo images implied Skyfire’s a Decepticon, so you KNOW that’s gonna break bad eventually)
WHEELJACK Wednesday THURSDAY
OH MYG OSH IS THAT SKYWARP??? EXPECTATIONS ARE NOW SKY-HIGH
The transformation sequences look so reminiscent of those stop-motion videos people do of their Transformer toys transforming. This isn’t a dig at the animation style, I think that’s rather charming and I wonder if it’s intentional.
Wow Bumblebee sounds like a jerk. I’m instantly on-edge, please don’t make all the characters ~hyper-masculine mean guys who don’t know how to have fun or talk about their emotions~
“The Autobots aint paying you for attitude” YOU TELL HIM WHEELJACK
Yooo Velocitron exists!
Ahh so Bumblebee IS just a mercenary, not an Autobot
OHOHO HERE”S JETFIRE
Wow Jetfire you’re really going the bad dude route huh
Ayyyyyy there’s Starscream
YOOO THERE”S THUNDERCRACKER
Thundercracker I appreciate that you’re using fancy tech to identify wheeljack but his Autobot badge is literally Right There
WTF
WELL THAT DIDN”T LAST LONG HUH...that’s a bit disappointing
OH NVM THAT WASN”T A HEEL-TURN THAT WAS JUST A STRAIGHT UP “I”M THE BOSS” MOVE
huh so they’re making Skyfire the target of Starscream’s desire for power. hmm
WHY ARE YOU GUYS RUNNING JUST TRANSFORM INTO CARS unless they’re too low on energon to do it??
There he is...Mr. Big Lips
Well that’s a surprising take Megatron
Isn’t that Cybertron and Luna 1 in the sky though?? Are they on Cybertron rn or not??
Megatron’s voice is really throwing me off, if it weren’t for his helmet and color I’d really think that was Overlord
ITS TRUCK DAD
OHOHO HE SAID THE THING!!!!
Why does bumblebee have lips too
“What do you know of slavery?” Alright that line did make me go “OHHHH”
“Alpha Trion would be ashamed!” “Of us both, I think” ouch, but nice to see Alpha “Grandpa” Trion back in a series
Megatron PLEASE don’t say “I’m enjoying this, Prime” in that voice while I can hear Optimus groaning in the background
AYYY ELITAAAAAA
Why are the Seekers chasing these guys, who are running on foot, ON FOOT??? CHANGE INTO YOUR DANG ALT MODE
WHEELJACK SWORE
man I’m only like a few minutes in and I’m already bored. I’m going to watch the whole thing, but I feel like this is really lacking soul or personality so far. It very much feels like the script was written by people who aren’t familiar with these characters, so they’re writing them how they EXPECT them to sound, not writing them as they actually are. It’s more than a little disappointing, but this is only the first episode, so I’ll keep going and see if this is consistent throughout the series.
Oh man, just listening to Elita you can tell she was written by a dude. Oof.
There’s the Ark!
Dang everyone’s running low
Jeez Optimus and Elita wouldn’t just walk by all these injured Autobots!
And Optimus wouldn’t brush off his officers!! Agh!!!
YO Ultra Magnus!
Chromia!!!!!
oh my gosh is THAT Red Alert??
Hey where’s Ratchet though
Gosh the writing is so STIFF!!!! I can’t stand this, if I wasn’t a die-hard Transformers fan I would’ve bounced a few minutes ago
 It might also be the way the VAs pause between words, please speak normally, these constant pauses between words are frustrating
Ok but where the frick is Soundwave
“His arrogance I actually like” pfft
Annnnd here comes Ultra Magnus to accept the treaty on Prime’s behalf, where he’ll get held hostage and probably wind up beefing it.
Episode 2
SOUNDWAVE!!!! BABY
And Shockwave!!! 
YO SKYWARP ACTUALLY GOT A SPEAKING LINE
I want to know where Megatron got all this fabric for those stupid flags and where Ultra magnus got that cloak
Is. Is that Prowl with a weird paint job
Wow bad aim dude
Ultra Magnus you dummy....
Ok but if it was a battle then who were they fighting against???
Wow you’re really just gonna stand there and take that Magnus?
I know they’re on a time-crunch because they only have 6 episodes, but they have to do more to make me care about the characters. I’m inclined to care about them already because I’m familiar with the series and because as a stand-alone, even I’m like “Ok. So?” whenever new problems come up for them. I’m not invested!
Not to compare the two, because I feel like this entire liveblog will turn into a comparative essay, but Cyberverse got me invested in characters within the first episode! They were on an even TIGHTER time-crunch because their episodes were only 10 minutes, and yet they did a great job weaving a tight narrative and making good use of their time to tell a story and have characters charm the audience.
Optimus: Til All Are One Rodimus, coming out of nowhere: TIL ALL ARE ONE
WELL THAT”S NOT THE VOICE I WAS EXPECTING FOR SHOCKWAVE he sounds a bit reminiscent of his TFA version
What does de-rez mean
Ok but that’s assuming that this thing will automatically reprogram them?? Reformatting doesn’t automatically mean someone will turn into a Decepticon!
You know, there’s a lot of talking in the show but the dialogue doesn’t actually say a lot. It doesn’t reveal much about the characters or tell me who they are.
YOOO THERE”S SOUNDWAVE
AUDIO BOOB
It really annoys me that characters always pause after saying “I”. It’s always “I.........[long pause] rest of their sentence.”
what do you mean “Teams” Optimus there’s like 5 of you guys
I love you Soundwave!!!
Whoa wait was that Impactor in the background?
ughHHHHHH I HATE THAT MY BIGGEST PET PEEVE IS “what have you done?” SAID UTTERLY MONOTONE WHEN IT’S NOT EVEN A BIG DEAL!!! YOU CAN”T FLIP THAT LINE OUT WITHOUT ACTUALLY PUTTING IN THE FOOTWORK TO EARN IT!!! AGH!!!
Again, it feels very much like the writers read the wikipedia page for Transformers and maybe the first sentence of each character’s bio page and then wrote the entire script from there. It’s frustrating. I hate being so severe in my reviews because I hate dunking on my fellow writers because they don’t always have final say in what happens, but this is astonishingly poor writing.
Like, I can see what they’re TRYING to accomplish, but it feels like they whiff so badly.
YO IT IS IMPACTOR
oh thats Barricade that’s why I thought that was Prowl
Chromia!!!! My darling!!!! I can’t believe there’s only two girls in this show so far
Oh that’s Cog, I wasn’t sure if that was Beachcomber or what
Nice one Chromia
Oh is that Mirage?
Ugh ANOTHER WRITING PET PEEVE: Constantly having characters start to say something but then then their dialogue gets cut off. It’s fine if it’s once in a while but over and over it’s annoying
I also feel like a lot of the VAs lack...emotion. They don’t emphasize the lines. Like, “Get him into the repair bay” is one example. Depending on how you emphasize certain words in that sentence, you can infer a lot! Emotion, the state of mind of the character, etc. But when it’s delivered in such a bland way, it’s a bit like “ok whatever”, which is how I’m starting to feel about this whole show. This doesn’t go for all the VAs or all lines, but it’s consistent enough that my mind’s wandering.
RAVAGE??? RAVAGE???? RAVAGE?!?!?!??!?!
It was probably Bumblebee.
Not to be nitpicky but it should be “Neither we nor the Autobots”
The idea of reformatting is so stupid!!! It implies that Autobots and Decepticons are inherently different, which is stupid!! It’s so dumb WHY DO YOU GOTTA GO THAT ROUTE IT”S SO STUPID (ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY”RE TACKLING THE TOPIC OF OPPRESSION??? THEY”RE SAYING THEY”RE LITERALLY DIFFERENT SPECIES AND USING IT AS A PLATFORM TO SAY ONE GROUP IS INHERENTLY BETTER THAN THE OTHER. THAT SUCKS)
Episode 3
RATCHET!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lmao love your lipgloss Megatron
Ohh is Ratchet going to fix Impactor??
PROWL??? HE”S SO SHORT
Gosh please, please don’t have humans in this show
lmao Skyfire called Starscream a tool
RATCHET!!! :D
I’d like to see who was on the writing team of this show
Isn’t that Mirage?
YEAH THAT IS MIRAGE
Again with the sentences consistently being cut off....
Is that Sunstorm?
Points to Chromia and Mirage for showing the first bitof personality in this show.
Yooo Ratchet! Oof he’s not chummy with Prime huh
YOO CAMINUS EXISTS TOO
LMAO FEISTY GRANDPA
Oh Mirage come on
Actually no, don’t shut Impactor up he’s right
“I didn’t patch you up just so you could blow a valve here” *snorts*
Tumblr media
Wouldn’t it be frickin hilarious if Magnus just popped open a panel and Minimus came out and just dipped outta there
lmao nice lightsaber Jetfire
LMAO “PULL THE TRIGGER MAGNUS”
JEEZ JUST PUNCH HIM RIGHT IN THE FACE WHY DON”T YOU 
Ratchet is the ONLY character they’ve given personality in this show so far.
Jeez Mirage cool your jets
Oh for frick’s sake Optimus be cool
Megatron please stop torturing your ex boyfriend
Ok but who did they rise against??? Were there Quintessons in this universe too?
oh come on you guys
Oh boy something tells me Skywarp isn’t going to survive the rest of this episode
Oh jk, Skyfire just let him go. Well alrighty then
I’m not sure how they found the Autobot base, they implied that it was because of Impactor but that doesn’t make sense
This post is getting long so I’m going to spit it between two posts

Ohhhh I need more of this Laurent as a pet AU! I’m so curious about what’s going to happen next and I really want to read when Damen will realize that Charls = Laurent. I’m guessing that he’ll try to kiss Laurent and he’ll recognize the kiss or something like that but you always surprise me in the best way so I can’t wait!
Aaand the new part eleven!!
When Laurent wakes up, it's to heavy pounding on the door. Damianos isn't in bed with him, but Laurent is still snuggled under the covers and the fire is now going on the other side of the room. There's a little sheet of paper on the side table with his name on it.
Laurent sits up with a groan and folds the note a few more times before tucking it into a discreet pocket in his pants where the gauze is thickest.
He catches his reflection on his way out, someone still knocking against the door. His hair is only a mild mess, but the oily paint on his skin is thoroughly smeared. He looks debauched.
Laurent ignores it in favor of answering the door.
He peeks it open, glancing out. His eyes meet leather armor, so he trails his gaze up farther and finds a guard staring down at him. Laurent opens the door wider and smirks. "Are you here to throw me out?"
The Akielon either doesn't speak Veretian or won't speak with Laurent, because he steps away, revealing Ancel standing behind him, in hardly a better state than Laurent, though with less paint. Berenger must have stayed the night again.
"The king wishes out presence," he says. "There's been an incident with the Akielon princes and we were called forth as witnesses, Charls."
Auguste is the worst.
Laurent brings worry to his features and hurries after Ancel.
They hook arms and walk with purpose like any pair of pets might when their patrons have given them leave.
"How bad is it?" Laurent asks.
"Word it, Prince Damianos stormed Prince Kastor's room this morning and tried to kill him." Ancel gives Laurent a rather lazy look, then turns his eyes back forward. "But you know how gossip gets twisted in Arles; there's hardly a kernel of truth to a story by the end of the day."
Laurent had assumed something to that effect might happen, though with a little less violence. If the kernel of truth is the attempted murder, then Laurent doesn't have Damianos figured out as well as he'd hoped.
-
When they are let into the throne room, sans council, for this is not a matter of state, Auguste's eyes rove over Laurent. Then his lips thin.
He's sitting on his throne, the new twin addition empty at his side. Damianos and Kastor both stand before the thrones, backs somewhat straight as they recieve whatever their punishment may be. Nicaise is in a small lineup of pets, and he's carefully dressed himself as a page. Every one of them are in Laurent's employ or are to be recruited once their contracts expire.
Laurent suppresses a smirk. Auguste knows him too well.
Auguste gestures, and Ancel and Laurent stand at the end.
Damianos glances at him.
Auguste stands now that everyone has joined them, and begins the proceedings.
"Prince Kastor, you understand the charges against you?"
Kastor nods, and looks more than a little pissed about being here.
"And you, Prince Damianos?"
Another nod, this one more accepting of its fate.
Auguste is still frowning, still staring down at the half brothers. "Everyone here claims to be witness to a woman in your room, Prince Kastor. Yet you deny it, and evidence of one could not be found when searched." Auguste walks up to Kastor, and stares into his eyes. Laurent is not comfortable with his close proximity. "How is it that they are all wrong?"
Kastor gives an ugly smile. "They're Veretian."
Auguste doesn't react, though more than a few of the pets do. They consider themselves the peak of beauty, and don't take to insult lightly. Laurent pulls a scowl.
Auguste steps back, then walks the lineup. "Please, would you all tell me her hair color?"
"Blonde," they all recite at once.
Auguste hums, turning to look at Kastor once more. He walks up to his throne and takes his seat. "Prince Kastor, I wish to inform you that Lady Jokaste was found in a secret passage when I had my guards search them, and she is currently detained in the dungeons."
Kastor stands straighter, and that gives him away. Auguste smirks.
The royal guard clap in him irons and drag him fighting down to the dungeon to join his dear, sweet Lady.
"Prince Damianos that just leaves the matter of you," Auguste says, sitting a little more lax in his throne, a little more bored in tone.
He probably hasn't even had breakfast yet. His guards likely reported the commotion the second it happened, which meant Auguste was pulled from bed by servants and dressed very quickly.
Laurent almost feels bad about it, but Auguste dragged him here to share his fate--with a plug still stuffed inside of him no less--and his sympathy withers like leaves in autumn.
"Do you deny visiting your brother this morning?"
"No."
"Do you deny seeing Lady Jokaste in his bed?"
"No," his voice comes out a little more gruff then, and Laurent notes it.
"Do you deny punching Prince Kastor?"
"No."
Auguste hums. "So you are guilty as charged, then."
Damianos smiles, wry. "It would seem so."
Auguste looks mildly amused, then straightens in his seat. "You should know, amongst Prince Kastor's effects, there was a tasteless, odorless vial of poison found in his room."
Damianos, ever the open book, lets his jaw drop. Laurent triumphs in being right about Kastor. He supposes Jokaste may have been the assassin. He doesn't know her skill sets, hidden or otherwise.
With the poison out of play, and the clients detained, it matters not whether she was the assassin or someone else. There will be no regicide.
Laurent will still have eyes on Auguste and any suspicious activity, but he is sure he'll sleep better at night now knowing Auguste is safe.
"I'm dropping your charges, not that it was to be a grand punishment," Auguste says. "A mere slap on the wrist and sent on your way. You've solved a crisis that has burdened my brother for some time now. And saved my life, of course.
"I am in your debt for this. I cannot go out by your side until such a time as I can return the favor, but you may ask one thing of me and I shall grant it."
Damianos seems awestruck, but still manages a bow and a thanks as he leaves.
Auguste waits until the door closes behind him before turning his wrath on Laurent. "Leave us."
Nicaise snorts a laugh as they all leave, but they won't speak of it outside of themselves. Laurent pays them too well.
Auguste storms up to Laurent, absolutely furious. "Before you try and defend yourself, I'm going to thank you for saving my life." His tone and expression do not convey thanks. "And now I am going to tell you that if Charls is seen wandering the halls, he is to be returned to Prince Laurent's rooms. On the king's orders."
He says this with the belief that Laurent won't be doing it again, not while under threat.
How annoying.
Laurent looks into his brother's eyes, and smirks. "Damianos is going to ask you for me."
Auguste's brow tics.
"I suppose he told you I could be found in his bed, yes?" Laurent starts to walk a circle around Auguste. He has always been better at containing his frustration with Auguste than his brother with him. Auguste feels too strongly, but it is not a terrible quality in a king. It would be in that king's spymaster. "It wouldn't be my first time there. He provides many good reasons to return."
"Stop this, Laurent."
"Why?" he asks. He makes himself aloof, stepping away to lean against a pillar. "I only tell the truth."
"Fine," Auguste growls. He puts his face very close to Laurent's as he says, "let me share a truth with you. Damianos is a man of honor. How do you think he'll feel once he learns who you really are?"
-
Auguste lets his guards close the doors to his office. If he were to do it, he would slam them hard enough to shake the walls and echo the halls.
Nicaise is sitting on the edge of his desk, his little bells once more around his ankles and page garb abandoned. He's smiling. "You torn into Laurent."
"You were watching."
Nicaise turns his head, earring swinging. "Of course not, the other pets wouldn't let me." He starts smiling again. "But I saw him as he returned to his rooms."
Auguste sits in his chair, folding his hands together. He props his chin on top of them. His body aches and his eyes burn. He's drained. Laurent has always been far too good at riling him up. "And?"
Nicaise puts the back of his hand to his forehead. Always dramatics. "Devastation."
Auguste's brows furrow. "Elaborate."
Nicaise pouts at him, then drops his hand back to the desk. "He didn't walk with his usual sense of entitlement. Once he'd hit the halls only the royal family can enter, he had his arms wrapped around himself and he'd lost all swagger."
Nicaise's retelling has equal chances of being exaggerated and being true. Either way, Auguste feels the words strike through his heart with the intention of hurting him.
He puts his head in his hands. Then sighs, "I should apologize."
Nicaise makes a sound, but Auguste knows his interest has shifted; outwardly, at least.
"I was too hard on him," he continues anyway.
"Of course you were," Nicaise says. He's never pulled a punch before, and especially not when Auguste is being less than kingly.
Auguste looks up to see he's playing with the feather of a quill.
Nicaise goes on. "Laurent is so clearly falling in love with Damianos. And while the feelings are obviously returned, it is through a farse."
And Laurent knows that, but wasn't acknowledging it. And Auguste had thrown it in his face.
He groans, burying his face in his hands once more.
Nicaise huffs a laugh.
-
Jord opens his doors without a word, and even Lazar is kind enough not to point out his state of dress for the expression that must be sitting on his face.
Laurent sits on his bed, even as a sigh passes his lips from the plug pressing deeper into him. He'll need to remove that soon, and clean himself out afterwards.
He pulls the note from his pocket.
He could read it now. See what words Damianos decided to spare him before leaving to deal with his brother.
He could read it later, when his mood has improved. He may be able to better appreciate the words then.
He could rip it up. He won't be allowed out as Charls again, so it is not as though they matter.
He sighs, lying back.

(First film. After “rewrite the stars”. On the isle. Maleficent saw the whole thing)
Jafar: she’s failing
Maleficent: no she is not. She is just
Grimhilde: a teenager. A lovesick. Hormonal. Useless teenager. Y
Maleficent: would the both of you like to be throwing up thorns for the next decade?
(Jafar and Grimhilde shut up)
Maleficent: as I was saying. My daughter is not failing. She is just. Stuck. Like when the infant evaded My detection for sixteen years
Jafar: yes. Yes. If I recall correctly that was because your little runty minions had no idea that children grow
(Grimhilde shrieks in laughter. Maleficent’s eyes glow bright emerald green and the evil queen is being throttled by vines. The shorter woman’s eyes glow a bright sapphire blue and a torrent of glass heads towards the dark fairy who cuts the flow and turns it to sand. Jafar looks on bored out of his skull)
Jafar: ladies ladies. Knock it off. And we ARE right Maleficent. The child is failing. I believe it has something to do with that freckled child
Maleficent: no. He and your son and the carrot and the stick.
Grimhilde: and my daughter
Maleficent: is superfluous to the equation.
Jafar: the child is weak.
Maleficent (ruefully): just like her father
Grimhilde: her father
Maleficent: is a fool. And a traitor. That bastard left me alone with nothing but an energy drain to make up for it
Grimhilde: I remember. I was the midwife
Maleficent: All you did was catch the egg when it popped out.
Grimhilde: then you banished me. And didn’t rescind it until eight years later. I had no one to help me through 72 hours of
Jafar: biniemat allah. Would you both stifle. It’s disgusting talking about woman’s things in polite society
Maleficent: vous salir bâtard. Just because you created you spawn so immaculately with magic doesn’t mean you are the only one who ever gave birth
Jafar: why am I even here. I am a man. I shouldn’t be taking orders from a green skinned heathen
Maleficent: and that is exactly the reason why you lost the fight
Jafar: I lost because you cheated. Which is typical down to the letter with your kind
Grimhilde: halte den Mund, halt den Rand, Halt die Klappe. Du willst meine Tochter heiraten. Du bekommst kein Mitspracherecht
Jafar: I am a sultan
Grimhilde: abgesetzt
Maleficent: as I was saying before personal grievances entered the matter. They have not failed. Mal knows what will happen if they do
Grimhilde: ab mit ihren Köpfen
Jafar: iqtew ru'usihim
Maleficent: enlevez leur têtes
(In Auradon. Mal bursts into her and Evie’s room close to tears)
Mal: something just happened. Something. I know know if it’s good or bad but it’s something and that something terrifies me
(Evie’s clutching her desk. She looks white as a sheet. She looks like she’s about to throw up)
Evie (barely above a whisker): go. Now. Go. Please
Mal (stubbornly): my room as well. And I wanna talk.
Evie: I SAID GO!!!!
(The glass in the vanity mirror explodes and heads for Mal’s face intending to cut her to ribbons. Mal turns it to sand before it can reach her)
Mal: you know better than to do that indigo
(The windows broken by a twisted vine that wraps itself around Evie. This is when Jay comes in and disappears both the sand and vines leaving the girls still looking ready to kill each other)
Jay: ok what the fuck. You were getting along so well. Honestly this is sort of preferable. But why. What happened this time to set you into melee mode?
(The sisters rotten screech and rant over each other until jay manages to shush them both)
Jay: right. Mal first
Mal: I think I almost kissed the prince
(Evie sits down. Jay’s jaw hits the floor)
Mal: well the pair of you needn’t look so surprised
Evie: I told him. No. Not the time. You kissed him or he kissed you
Mal: myeh-myeh
Evie: what now?
Jay: I think you broke her brain. What happened after Carlos and me left?
Mal: Evie yelled at Lonnie cause of chad I thought Ben had black blood went mothery on him almost planted one on his unfairly cute face next thing you know Nasira’s you’re aunt and I’m throttling my sister with thorn vines
(The other two blink)
Evie: I can explain. That idiotic commoner told me
Jay: yeah yeah don’t care. Lonnie’s a good friend Chad’s an ass go for Doug. Now when you say “planted one”. Do you mean romcom or kids cartoon
Mal: there’s a difference?
Jay: hells yeah there’s a difference. Kids cartoons a short and pg. Romcoms. Are not.
Mal: the-the-the-then rom...com?
(Jay cheers loudly and punches the air. Then stops)
Jay: wait. When you say “almost”?
Mal: I stopped myself. We may or may not have danced. Then I ran out of there
Jay: oh good god it’s like a sitcom
Mal: nothing about this is funny. I. Cannot. Get sucked in
Jay: why?
Mal: because
Evie: oh my god. You’re scared. The big. Bad dragons daughter. Is scared. Of a pretty face
Jay (sending danger): ohhhh kay. Why don’t we just take a breather
Mal: I’d much rather bash a water jug over her head.
Evie: can we talk about me now?
Jay (long suffering sigh): fine. What did Lonnie say.
Evie: same thing Doug and Ben said. That Chad’s a user. That he’ll dump me when he’s bored. But she’s lying
Jay: I don’t think she was. And I don’t think you thought she was lying either
Evie: she has to be.
Mal: she wasn’t and you know it. We can read minds, remember?
Evie: yeah but
Jay (kindly) Mal (not so kindly): Lonnie wasn’t lying
(Evie goes into the bathroom to cry)
(Meanwhile, Audrey’s pacing the floor of fairy godmothers office mad as all hell)
Audrey: it’s disgusting the way those backwards circus freaks leech off him. He’s too nice to say it but I can tell he’s annoyed by them. And who wouldn’t be. Those things are barely with a first look. We should all just dump them back where they (there’s a knock at the door) OH WHAT?!?!
Doug: fairy godmother asked to see me before curfew. Something about my report card?
Fairy Godmother (glad for an excuse to be rid of Audrey for at least a couple of moments): yes! Yes. Last semesters report card. It got lost just before the break and I recovered it today. I thought we could video chat your father
Doug: sure
Fairy Godmother (under her her breath): oh thank goodness. (Regular volume) Audrey I’m so sorry dear. Well have to continue this chat tomorrow
Audrey: I’m not done
Fairy Godmother: well I am. I’m sorry dear but you have got to stop this smear campaign against Mal and her friends. It’s not nice. It’s not healthy. And it will not end well for you
Audrey: I don’t care. I’m not gonna rest until Ben sees they’re heinous villains. I’m not going to rest until that damned pixie that witch that unmanacled djinn and that freckled face fa
Fairy Godmother and Doug (absolutely incensed): AUDREY!!!!
Audrey (genuinely ignorant of what she said): what
Fairy Godmother: we do not use those words here. We have a zero tolerance policy for those types of slurs
Audrey: what slurs. It’s what they are. It’s technical terms.
Fairy Godmother: you do not use those words if you wish to continue to attend this school. Doug. I am so sorry. A rather urgent matter Amiga’s materialised. I hope we can continue this tomorrow. Audrey I’m calling your parents. You have break lunch and after school detention for the next month until family day. I am going to call your parents and give them a detailed rundown of your horrible behaviour
Audrey: my parents are in Malta until the 24 hours before family day. They’re coming down for the event. Grammy’s available
Fairy Godmother (visibly deflating): ah. You still have detention. And are required to apologise to Mal Jay Carlos and Evie for your frankly despicable actions
(Audrey pompously turns on her heel and leaves. Bumping into Ben in the doorway. He looks shocked and terrified)
Audrey: oh hey benny boo. So I was thinking when this madness is over we could
Ben (robotically): I uh I I need to speak to Doug
Doug: um fairy godmother. I need to help Ben. Training for my future employment and all that
Fairy Godmother (absolutely no idea of what’s happening): of course
Doug: c’mon Ben
(He leads the prince the back to his bedroom. Where Ben promptly starts hyperventilating)
Ben: I can’t. I can’t beli. She. How. How could she. I can’t tell them not now.
Doug: breathe. You’ll be ok
Ben: she’s wrong. She has to be wrong. Nobody’s fully rotten to the core. Are they?
Doug: buddy she doesn’t care. All she knows is that now they’re here. She’s not important anymore. And she’s doing what ever she can to make herself feel important again. And she doesn’t care who she hurts to get it
Ben: but she wouldn’t cross a line
Doug: when we were six she got her nanny fired because she said and I quote “nanny Mavis didn’t tell the tooth fairy about my incisors”. And she’s the one who locked you and Jane in the wardrobe when we were eleven
Ben (face in his hands): oh god we were in there for two hours. We had to get our braces rewired. A whole week of school spent in a hospital bed
Doug (sarcastically): sure. That’s what’s wrong with the situation she put you in. Not the fact she’s a jealous cow
Ben: anyway. Enough about me. What’s up with you
Doug: nothing. Need to show my dad last semesters report but otherwise peachy keen. Why do you ask
Ben: because I see your face whenever Evie mentions Chad
Doug: she chose chad. There’s nothing I can do even if I wanted to. Which I don’t. Can’t change her mind.
Ben: yeah. But you’re still upset.
Doug: This isn’t about me. This is about Evie. And chad. And the fact he is going to emotionally destroy her and they shouldn’t happen to anyone.
Ben (smiling knowingly): you love her
Doug: I’m sorry who has the hots for the daughter of Maleficent?
Ben: guilty as charged. But still.
Doug and Ben: we cant make them fall for us
Ben: I think Mal might like me though
Doug: lemme gues. The pen thing almost led to the inevitable kiss. Then she ran. Am I right?
Ben: yes. And how many people know about the pen thing?
Doug: well Lonnie managed to keep four people quiet that I know about. So probably everyone in our grade barring Mal and her friends
Ben: not what I had in mind for my first scandal but it could be worse I suppose
Doug (incredulous): you’re PLANNING your scandals?
Ben: I’m almost sixteen. I’m going to be king. People can be very unkind. So I may as well try to rein in some measure of control over what gets out
Doug (smiling sadly): if anyone ever tries to take that light from your eyes Lonnie and I are gonna beat their asses to death
Ben: please don’t. Nobody should ever get hurt because of me
Doug: well. Lonnie could give saint Spinelli a run for her money when she gets going. And I’ve been known to bite. But I won’t seeing as you asked so nicely. I cannot vouch for Lonnie though
Ben: of course.
Doug: you’ve still got some er (he rubs his bottom lip)
Ben: oh! Eh heh heh (he wipes his mouth)
(Back at the sisters room. Carlos has wandered in half asleep and confused)
Carps (yawning in Jay’s spare tourney jersey): whassapening?
Evie: you’ve got a new papa
Carlos: huh
Mal: don’t confuse him indigo. I almost kissed Ben C
Carlos: wha?
Jay: we can talk about it tomorrow.
Carlos (pouting): I woke up and you were gone
Jay: I’m sorry buddy. They were fighting
Carlos (rounding on the other two): you know not to fight after I’m asleep
Mal: I’m so sorry C. It will never happen again.
Jay (scooping Carlos up): c’mon buddy. Let’s get you back to sleep
Carlos: leave again I’ll turn into a boa constrictor
Jay (chuckling): I don’t doubt that
(Jay carries him out of the room)
Evie: sit down. This time we have
Mal: no. Nope. Absolutely not. No girl talk
Evie: too late! You wanna hold him
Mal: I swear. If you quote shrek at me
Evie: ok. Ok. Seriously though. How do you feel?
Mal: rotten. And not in a good way
Evie: why
Mal: look at Ben. Then look at me
Evie: well Ben does have fashion sense
(Mal kicks Evie out of the chair)
Evie: great. Now I have your boot print in my kidney
Mal: well Carlos wanted us to be closer as sisters
Evie: well yay him. Anyway. If you like him
(In the princes bedroom)
Ben: why don’t you just go and tell her
Doug: because
(Girls room)
Evie: because why?
(Ben’s room)
Doug: because
Ben and Evie (in split screen): because why
Doug and Mal: because I’m not god enough
(The friends look at them in sympathy)
Doug and Mal: it’s. It’s not how it’s done.
Doug: I am not
Mal: the one he
Mal and Doug: needs
Mal: and I wasn’t raised for it.
Ben: you know you can talk to me right?
Doug: yeah I know
(Girls room)
Evie: then talk to me
(This is when “heart attacks” happens)
