Jon stormed out of the classroom with anger flowing through his veins. No longer could he hear the laughter of the assholes he had left behind, the only thing audible to him now was the blood roaring through his ears. He let his feet guide him to a private location, a location he favored the most out of the entire school. The music room. His pace slowed as he reached the wooden door to the now empty classroom. It was dark inside from what he could see through the little glass window connected to the door. Jon's hand found its way to his pocket as he began to fiddle for something inside. He felt something tiny and jagged and pulled it out. A small piece of glass. He maneuvered the piece of glass to fit inside the lock of the door and with some quick twists to the right and then to the left the door clicked open. He pulled himself inside quickly and slammed the door shut behind him. Thinking back it wasn't the smartest move to slam the door but he didn't care. He didn't care about anything at that moment.
He walked to the far back of the music room where there was a small hidden corner connected to where the bathroom was. Jon had spent all of his time in this corner when he had music class. It was pirvate enough and nobody bothered him. He wrote lyrics here, tuned guitars here, he had even fiddled with his pair of bagpipes here when he had them. It was a comfort spot of sorts. But no lyrics were going to be written here today. The small boy plopped himself on the hard floor with a thud and pulled his knees up to his chest, he could feel his heart rate begin to speed up and tears pricked at the corners of his eyes. He tried his hardest to hold them back But- Oh god who cares no one was here. Jon placed his hands ontop of his head and began to cry. His skinny frame trembled with each sob as he allowed his mind to wander back to the past. The horrible things people have said or done to him...and all he wanted to do was to fit in and to be a good boy. That's all he wanted.
"Fuck This Damned Place! Fuck It All To Hell!" Jon screamed as he tugged at his dreadlocks.
Jon's brain was sending itself into such an anxious frenzy that he didn't hear the door to the music room slowly open with an agoonizingly long creak. Two pair of lights flashed on and footsteps began to slowly approach him. He hadn't noticed though. His eyes were tightly shut and his brain was so loud..
"Jon Are You In Here? It's Me James."
Jon's eyes slowly flickered open. He regonized that name, but was it the James he knew or was it one of the assholes who picked on him pretending to be his good friend? If so Jon knew he couldn't do anything but kick and scream at them, though no one ever seemed to hear his yells for help anyways. The small boy's heart began to race faster and his breathing began to grow erratic, he didn't even notice the shadow that fell over him as the figure crouched down in front of him.
"Jon Look At Me! Hey Man, Snap Out Of It!"
So it was his James. His vision grew blurry and he couldn't muster the energy to speak, his heart was beating to fast and he couldn't breath. His sobbing came out in choked whines. James expression was one of pure concern, he didn't think he'd ever seen his friend so shaken up before. He tried once more to reach out to Jon but no reply came. Jon just continued to shake, pant, and cry. James frowned. The guitarist sithered up to the smaller boy and propped himself up next to him. He hoped that what he was about to do next would help. He gently wrapped an arm around Jon and pulled him into a tight hug, he then took the boys hand and squeezed it.
"its Alright Jon. I've Got Ya.."
"J-James I-I Can't B-Breath!"
" Shh, Deep Breaths Jon, Just Calm Down. Your Alright Now. Please Just Calm Down.."
James rubbed gentle cricles along his friends hand and whispered words of encouragment. Jon leaned into James' body and tried his best to take deep breaths. James' presence, his voice, his touch, his scent. It seemed to awaken something in Jon and he began to slowly feel himself relax. His heart rate slowed and he began to get his breathing back. James clutched him tightly.
"Attaboy Jon, Thats It, Your Alright~"
Jon swung his arms around James' neck and held onto him as if his life depended on it. He buried his face into James' chest and cried. James rested his chin atop of Jon's head and rocked himself back and forth. It was a little while before his friend began to fully calm down but once he did he shakily lifted his head up and etched his way out of James' grasp. James tilted his head and looked at Jon, he offered a smile.
"You Alright Man?"
"Y-Yeah, I'm Good. S-Sorry You Had To Witness That.."
"Nah Its Alright, You Know I Don't Mind. Its Better To Let it Out Than To Keep It In Right?"
"Yeah, I Suppose So, Heh."
The guitarist smiled and twirled one of Jon's dreadlocks before getting up and walking over to a table with a box of tissues on it. He grabbed it and walked back over to the corner and plopped the box onto Jon's lap, he then sat back down next his friend. Jon nodded his thanks before taking a tissue and wiping his stained face. James placed a hand on the singer's shoulder and gave it a light massage. Jon looked over and smiled before scooting back over towards the guitaritst and snuggling back into his side. The guitarist's face flushed.
"Thanks For Being Here Munk."
"Hm, No Problem Jon."
James smiled at the use of his nickname. But he wondered what his teacher thought of his sudden absence though, probably just thought he went out for a quick smoke was all. The bell for lunch would ring soon but he figured Jon didn't really care for it at the moment. Though James would have liked to go out and meet with their other band of friends he knew that Jon would need some time alone and probably didn't fancy to be near large crowds of people at the moment. James didn't really mind though, he'd stay here in this dark music room with his friend for as long as he needed. Jon's head shifted as he looked up at James with those brown puppy dog eyes. James swore he could feel his heart melt at the sight, Jon's little pout was utterly adorable. The singer grinned at his friend before maneuvering his head to snuggle into James' neck. James chuckled softly and rested a cheek back onto Jon's head.

a/n: I’m sorry this took too long to post!! 😭😭 but I been so busy with college rn, I’m going to graduate this year so I’m like having a lot of work lately, and I wasn’t satisfied with what I was writing so that was the reason it took longer than expected, sorry!
I'm a sucker for cliche stuff so as soon as this fic popped in my mind l had to write it down, english isn't my first language tho.
I'm sorry if this is too long TT, but this is kinda a slowburn? it might contain a lot of parts so wait for part 3! One of the reasons this is long af it's because I would like to show you how Jaehyun and (Y/N's life is before they get together! So pls pls don't skip anything I hope you like it!
if you want to be in the taglist, just lemme know;) enjoy!
The third day of the week arrived promptly, where (Y/N) found herself comfortably seated in one of the library chairs, with her chemistry books scattered on the table in front of her as she studied for the exams she had coming up, with Jungwoo beside her.
It was becoming her routine for the week; after last Friday's party, what she most desired was to avoid being at home, especially after having an argument with her mother when she returned from the party.
She didn't want to deal with her in a good time.
Annoyed that her mother had thought it was a great idea to take away her right to use her own car as punishment for disobeying her that night and leaving the house... staying in the library seemed the most pleasant option; with silence, able to listen to music through her AirPods, without her mother bothering her every five minutes and being able to review what she had learned in her last classes: it was something she could take advantage of. She took a sip of her vanilla latte, which had been sponsored by Jungwoo, who, in an attempt to apologize for abandoning her in that way during last Friday's party, promised to pay for each of her daily drinks for a week and a half, no matter the cost.
And even though (Y/N) could afford that or even triple, she was still happy about it. Gifted things tasted even better anyway.
Of course, she first gave Jungwoo a -no- beating after telling him everything that had happened during his absence, but still, she appreciated that her friend was okay even though she hadn't heard anything from him until Saturday night.
During these last few days, with a new routine, (Y/N) was almost always in the same places, at the same times, and if she was honest, she was surprised not to have bumped into Jung Jaehyun at any moment.
It was weird; she would normally see him somewhere around the school, either accompanied by Lucas or just sitting on one of the benches while smoking his 'n' cigarette of the day. But simply, since Friday, she hadn't heard anything from him... she hadn't even bumped into Lucas, which increased the level of strangeness, considering he was a social butterfly, he was always around. (Y/N) had been aware of her words after Jaehyun had taken her home: she could no longer continue with whatever deal they had, with all the stress of her own tasks and knowing that no matter what she did, her cousin wouldn't give up his addictions, it was best to give up.
Although it would hurt her soul to know that there was no way to help Daeho.
But thinking about it, she didn't know if she had really been sincere about each going their own way... apparently Jaehyun had taken it very seriously to not show up anywhere, and although (Y/N) knew very well that being close to him didn't bring her anything good... his presence hadn't been so bothersome in the last few days. Really, after sharing a few words and spending more time with him, she couldn't say that she disliked his existence. It was funny if you asked the (Y/N) from a month ago, there would be no way she could have imagined that, somehow, she would be related to none other than Jung Jaehyun, who, on the outside, just seemed to be one more problem.
She tried to stop thinking about it and tried to focus her gaze on the book in front of her, but after a few minutes... it was difficult for her. There was something inside her that made her feel uneasy but she couldn't think what it was.
"There’s a race in Kosmo today" her best friend's voice brought her out of her thoughts.
Kosmo was the neighborhood that was right in the middle of the city, dividing Kwangya and Neo Zone. (Y/N) knew that there were usually illegal races in that area because it was when the rich kids from Kwangya usually dared to compete against Neo Zone.
"And why should I care...?"
"Your cousin will go to bet," Jungwoo replied, interrupting her study session.
The girl opened her eyes in surprise and asked, "How do you know?"
"Daeho told Mingi, and Mingi told me," he replied simply, shrugging his shoulders. The boy fell silent for a moment and cleared his throat. "Don’t you want to go?" He asked curiously.
(Y/N) looked up from her books and observed her friend incredulously. "Why would I want to go?"
"To keep an eye on Daeho," he answered.
"I'm still mad with him, I've decided not to help him anymore. I really tried, I've been trying for the past few years, but he doesn't want help and now I understand," the girl confessed, closing her book and letting out a sigh.
"Still... don't you think it would be fun? Getting out of our comfort zone a bit... seeing what all this racing stuff is about. I've heard they're amazing," Jungwoo insisted.
"Jungwoo, my mom will kill me if she finds out I went to an illegal race," the girl continued, taking a sip of her coffee.
"She won't find out."
"Jungwoo..."
"Come on, (Y/N), we won't even be in Neo Zone, it'll be in Kwangya only. We'll go, watch the race, and leave. We won't even make contact with anyone. We'll go on our own," the boy assured her, moving closer to her. "Please, I think it would be interesting to break out of our routine, just for one night, what could go wrong?"
"Many things could go wrong, Woo," she replied.
"We won't know unless we try," he pouted, clasping his hands together. "Please."
She hated how persuasive her best friend was.
She sighed and shook her head. "Fine, but at the first sign of trouble, we're leaving without a second thought."
"I love you so much," Jungwoo replied, hugging her shoulders.
"And I really hate you."
______________________________________________
The night fell faster than she expected, and among the roar of engines and the intense music that could be heard on the outskirts of Kosmo, (Y/N) felt something cold run through her body.
She could see familiar faces here and there, some of her classmates from Kwangya were in the place, and from the opposite side, the cars and familiar faces of Neo Zone were present.
It was a strange atmosphere for her; she had always played it safe, and now she didn't even know what to think. She felt herself getting closer to Jungwoo to not lose him, the last thing she needed was for them to separate like they did at the party.
She didn't think she could survive alone.
And it's not that she was dumb to think otherwise, but her parents raised her in an environment where they made her believe that she shouldn't do things outside her daily life. (Y/N) was afraid of adventures. Her life was governed by being obedient and doing the right thing; she didn't know when the moment of rebellion she had a few days ago when she left home the night of the party had been wise.
And now finding herself in Kosmo secretly from her mother at an illegal race? She must have gone crazy.
She believed even more so that she had gone crazy when something inside her hoped to run into none other than Jung Jaehyun.
She didn't understand why the urgency of what was happening, and even less why she expected to run into Jaehyun before running into Daeho.
Maybe it was because she found it strange not to have seen him since last Friday's party.
But she knew that if there was one place Jaehyun wouldn't miss... it would be the race tonight.
"Are you looking for Daeho?" Jungwoo asked when he saw her looking around. "He's probably with Mingi."
How could she explain to her friend that the person she was looking for was none other than Jung Jaehyun?
She nodded without saying more, and they both continued on their way while cautiously observing their surroundings. The smell of marijuana and car engines was embedded in the place, the music made their ears ring, and the night breeze made their bodies tremble.
(Y/N)'s eyes drifted away when she noticed Lucas in the distance, having a conversation with another guy. Lucas felt her gaze on him and looked at the girl with confusion before approaching her after apologizing to his companion.
"Hey, Kwangya kiddos, what brings you here on this magnificent night?" Lucas asked enthusiastically.
"We wanted to know what these races are about," Jungwoo replied simply.
"Hmm, interesting," the tall guy nodded. "Well, you're in luck, Jaehyun will race today, are you sure you want to see the show? The best of the area against someone from Yellow Wood," Lucas explained while cracking his fingers slightly.
Upon hearing the guy's name, (Y/N) looked up and paid attention to Lucas's words.
"If you're interested in betting, come to me," Lucas advised.
"I think we're fine like this," said (Y/N).
"Alright, take care. I'll go look for my guy to get him ready for the race," Lucas announced as he patted Jungwoo on the back.
The guy walked away from them with a smile, and Jungwoo responded with one of his own, then he looked at his friend and frowned, "relax, you're anxious."
How could she not be?
But before she could even answer anything, a few meters away, she saw the familiar face she had been looking for. In the distance, the silhouette of Jung Jaehyun was leaning against his car while talking to a few guys from Neo Zone, his neck tattoos weren't very visible due to the darkness of the night but she could distinguish them a bit, then... as if he had called him, Jaehyun's gaze moved to connect with hers, making her freeze in place.
Jaehyun frowned when he saw her standing just a few steps away from him, looking like a lost puppy as she stood beside Jungwoo.
The sight reminded him of a month ago when Daeho had clumsily brought (Y/N) to Neo Zone. Although this time she was accompanied by her best friend, another rich and spoiled kid from Kwangya. He observed the outfit she had decided to wear, once again, just like that time, it wasn't extravagant, no famous brand could be seen in her attire, and the only piece of jewelry she wore was a pair of earrings that definitely looked like gold...
He hoped she wouldn't lose them tonight.
Because they made her look good.
The surprise was evident on the girl's face when she took a better look at the brunet's body, who was now walking towards her, wearing a hoodie with its hood over his head and as he got closer, the darkness of the night was no longer so intrusive. It hadn't been enough to hide the bruises that were scattered across his body.
There was one under his cheek, just below his left eye, and it was reddish, as if it were flushed. Then, looking at the ones between his jaw and his neck, she noticed how they subtly mixed with the ink of the tattoo he had on his neck. That one was difficult to distinguish thanks to the dark lines that adorned that part of his body, but if you paid enough attention, it was alarming.
When she lowered her gaze over his torso and then looked at his hands, she could see the intense shades of red that his knuckles contained, as if ground blood had accumulated on each of them.
It wasn't the first time she had seen Jaehyun or Lucas with a bruise or two on a school day, but it was the first time she had seen it up close.
Her heart was pounding a mile a minute. Why was it suddenly doing this?
"Did you lost your way home?" Jaehyun asked when he was in front of her.
"Jaehyun," she muttered quietly, "... are you okay?"
The girl didn't need much to realize that was the stupidest question she could ask right now, of course he wasn't okay. And although she knew this happened regularly in Jaehyun's life, she couldn't help but fill her head with doubts; what had to happen for him to end up like this?
... was that the reason he hadn't gone to school?
A small smile appeared on the boy's face, and even with the different colors decorating his face, she could still notice the dimples that formed in it.
Why did he still look good?
"I don't think you came here to ask that, Angel," Jaehyun replied mockingly. "I really believed in your whole story about us going on our ways, so what are you doing at a race where most of the spectators are from Neo Zone?"
The girl was left speechless. "Jungwoo brought me here."
"Well, if that's the case, enjoy the races, I think it'll be fun for you to spice up your Wednesday nights a bit," he continued with a sarcastic smile.
"What happened to you?" She asked again.
Jaehyun didn't answer.
He had gotten himself into big trouble... all thanks to Jeno.
He had trusted that all his merchandise would be sold by the time Monday came around, but after being at Johnny Suh's party, where other dealers were also present, he didn't manage to sell what he needed.
He had a little less than half left in his pockets and in Lucas's.
Luck had not been on his side this time, and when he had to be accountable to Lee Sooman, he had to take responsibility for his brother's actions. And despite telling him that he would not take care of him like he used to after the argument they had... he'd much rather take the beatings he had received than see Jeno the way he did in the mirror.
That time, it really felt eternal. He still remembers the angry (but also mocking) look Sooman had on his face when Jaehyun and Lucas brought the money to his office and after asking Lucas none too kindly to leave, that was when Jaehyun knew what was coming.
With Cheol Uk by his side, leading him out of the office to the vacant lot not far from the warehouse, Jaehyun could do nothing but accept what was coming.
It was one blow after another, and he knew well that at that moment, defending himself was not something he should do or he would end up worse.
He remembers feeling every punch with tremendous pain, and all he could think about was Jeno and how he would have felt if it had been him getting beaten up.
At least Jaehyun was used to the beatings and had no choice; he already knew that all of this was part of being someone from Neo Zone, so he simply had to continue to comply with what Sooman demanded to the letter unless he wanted to end up again in the position he was in.
What felt like hours was really just a few minutes; Cheol Uk stopped hitting him after a while and without saying more, he left. Leaving Jaehyun in the middle of the vacant lot with a broken lip and eyebrow as he spat blood and reached for his abdomen for some support to get up and walk to where he knew Lucas was waiting for him.
How much more? How much longer would he have to keep with all of this?
But, right now, it wasn't something he should talk about.
"It's really not something you need to know," he replied with a smirk. "You came to enjoy the race, right? Then do it, I'll be running in a few minutes, if you don't get scared by the atmosphere here before that, I'm sure you'll want to see me," Jaehyun continued, winking at her.
"I think it'll be fun to see you in second place," the girl teased.
"Baby... I always win," Jaehyun bragged, looking her directly in the eyes.
It was then that the girl didn't say anything else, she just kept her gaze on his. She hated feeling intrigued by Jaehyun himself. Because right now she didn't even feel like she was in Kosmo, with Jaehyun in front of her looking directly at her, she didn't even feel real. She was getting into fire and she knew it.
And she didn't know if she could escape from it.
For a moment she felt a heaviness on her shoulders and warmth surrounded her, causing her to snap out of her thoughts and notice that the jacket that Jaehyun was wearing over his hoodie was now over her body.
"You were trembling like a chihuahua," Jaehyun explained. "Don't consider it an act of kindness, I'm just returning the favor after having done my jobs those two weeks... at least now they won't kick me out of school this evaluation period," he continued.
"I'm not sure if I should feel good knowing that I'm indirectly helping an illegal business," she replied, adjusting the jacket.
"No one needs to know," he replied. "Good luck tonight, don't get lost too much because things get interesting," he said, and without further ado, he turned around to go back to his friends.
(Y/N) stood perplexed in her place, and it was then that she felt Jungwoo's presence next to her.
"What was that?"
"I have no idea."
_______________________________________________
The next morning, after putting her books back in her backpack, (Y/N) looked at the jacket folded inside her bag, feeling a heaviness and remembering the events of the previous night.
The rumors were true... Jung Jaehyun was the best street racer in the area, because he not only competed once the day before, but two more times, winning 3 victories in a short time, and to be honest, it had been impressive.
She hadn't run into him again after the brief conversation they had, and even though she had been waiting for it... she and Jungwoo bolted from the place when they heard the police sirens approaching Kosmo.
The last thing she needed was for her parents to find out about her escapade.
She didn't hear anything from Daeho the night before, she even doubted if he had really gone to the race.
She didn't want to give too much importance to the situation, which is why she chose to continue her path through the school hallways, hoping to return the jacket that was at the bottom of her bag and trying to divert her thoughts to something other than Jaehyun.
And as if she had summoned him, she saw him under the entrance roof as he leaned against the wall and took a drag from the cigarette in his hands. (Y/N) checked the day's weather and cursed when she noticed the raindrops falling lightly. She had forgotten about today's forecast.
Jaehyun was lost in his thoughts as he watched the rain and let out the smoke in his chest.
The bruises were still visible.
She stopped abruptly to take the jacket out of her bag and, without saying anything, approached him and handed it back to him.
Jaehyun looked at her with a raised eyebrow and blew out the smoke from his lungs.
"You're welcome," Jaehyun said as he took the jacket in his hands.
"Yes, thank you," she said, feeling her cheeks flush.
"Where did you park your car?" Jaehyun asked out of nowhere.
"I didn't bring it with me, my mom confiscated it," she blurted out without thinking, and when she turned to look at Jaehyun, she noticed a mocking smile on his face.
"Oh, mom took away your Porsche," he pouted mockingly and shook his head. "Come on, I'll take you home."
"I'm fine, Jaehyun. Thanks," she said as she looked at the rain.
"Come on, it wouldn't be the first time I've taken you. Plus, the school won't be closing anytime soon."
She thought about all the possibilities that crossed her mind, but something about her was excited to think about the ride home.
"Where's your car?"
______________________________________________
It was fortunate that his car was nearby.
Jaehyun turned on the heater as soon as they got into the car, and without further ado, the journey began.
It was just like the first time they had been together in the same car. Without saying anything, both with their eyes focused on the road, and it was then that they both realized that they didn't have a topic of conversation. The few times they had interacted had been about their interests and what they needed from each other at the moment. However, Jaehyun didn't know anything about (Y/N) that he hadn't heard at school, and (Y/N) didn't know anything about Jaehyun that she hadn't heard in the hallways or from her parents about the people from Neo Zone.
At this point, they weren't even acquaintances.
They had just coincided in something and that was it.
(Y/N) took the opportunity to send a text message to Jungwoo and tell him that he no longer needed to pick her up, without explaining more, she sent the text and subsequently, Jaehyun's phone rang.
The boy sighed and cautiously looked for a quick place to park even with the sound of the mobile phone ringing filling the car. He took the device and (Y/N) could notice the slight tension that seized Jaehyun's body as he read the caller ID, without thinking twice he answered the call.
The brunette felt weird being able to hear Jaehyun's conversation, so she tried to distract herself with something else. First with her phone, then looking out the window where she could see the rain beginning to dissipate, and then she could hear a "I'll be there in a moment" that made her react and turn to see him end the call.
The boy scratched his neck and then brought his hands to his face to rub it, let out a deep sigh, and looked at (Y/N).
“Uh, I need to do something quickly and your house is still a bit far... Do you mind if we stop by that place first? It's on the way” he asked with no other option.
“Does this has to do with your job?” She asked.
It took him a moment to respond: — No, it's not about my job. You can stay in the car, it's just that, I really need to get there.
After seeing Jaehyun's face and not being able to decipher what he was trying to say, (Y/N) nodded, not very sure, and that was enough for Jaehyun to quickly start the car.
Thousands of thoughts ran through (Y/N)'s mind. Eager to know where they were headed; she didn't know if she should believe Jaehyun that this wasn't about picking up or delivering goods or meeting someone who worked on the same thing he did.
She was only sure they wouldn't go to Neo Zone because they were far from there.
She could see how impatient Jaehyun seemed while driving, and that only made her even more nervous. What exactly did they tell him in that call to make him like this? She wanted to ask, but she knew she wouldn't get an answer.
She didn't know how many minutes had passed, she only knew that the rain stopped just before the car parked and she finally noticed where they were. A gray building was a few meters away from them, and it wasn't hard to recognize it.
It was the National Rehabilitation Center.
A long and large building, which was accompanied by an extensive garden, and from the outside, you could see that there were a huge number of rooms inside it.
Her head was flooded with even more questions knowing that this was the place where Jaehyun was needed.
“You can stay in the car if you want. I'll be back in a moment” Jaehyun said as he opened the car door and got out.
Curiosity got the better of her.
And that's why she got out of the car and followed Jaehyun. Without saying anything, they entered the building where they were immediately greeted by a nurse who seemed to know the boy well.
“Jaehyun, I'm glad you were able to answer the call” said the woman as she greeted them. “We need to talk to you”.
The boy nodded and turned to (Y/N), who just nodded and said, “I’ll wait for you.”
He smiled slightly and walked with the person until they reached the reception where she was able to pull out a few papers.
It had been, perhaps, about two weeks since the last time he had been there. A place he was very familiar with and where he regularly went; he had become good friends with the friendly nurses who apparently didn't care where he came from.
He was grateful that the nurse didn't say anything when his bruises and wounds were clearly visible.
“Has something happened?” he asked after a few seconds.
“ He's fine” the nurse said with a smile “but we need to talk to you about his stay here” she continued.
That's when the small smile on his face disappeared. Jaehyun knew what she was referring to. He swallowed hard before the nurse could speak.
“The payment is overdue, Jaehyun," the nurse confirmed what he already knew. "We care about Sicheng's health, but this is not my concern. You know that the center relies on patients' monthly payments, and the administrators in charge of them request them punctually," she commented as she handed Jaehyun one of the papers. "I understand your situation and Sicheng's, but there's nothing more I can do even if I wanted to; I've tried to delay the payment as much as I could, but unfortunately, it can't be delayed any longer. The administrators expect the payment soon, or we'll have to discharge Sicheng and send him home," she concluded.
It was difficult at first for Jaehyun to process everything the nurse had said, as more than ten things ran through his mind at once; one of them being his good friend Winwin, then, thinking about how he could quickly get the money he knew he owed to the clinic, considering the beating he had just received for not being able to complete a sale. So, what would he do? He still needed half the money for that monthly payment, and between the clinic's expenses and those of his own house for his family, he couldn't see a way to get the money on time.
He would have to ask for more stash to sell if he wanted to do it.
He couldn't let them discharge Sicheng.
Not while he hasn't made progress.
"I'm sorry," Jaehyun said. "I... I still have a little left to complete the payment. It's just that lately, it's been harder, and... how much time do I have to pay it?" the breathless boy asked.
"Considering that it's only the first few days of the month, and the payment is already two weeks late... I can't give you more than three days," lamented the nurse, making a grimace.
"I'll try the impossible to bring you that money on Saturday. Sicheng still can't be discharged; he hasn't progressed the way he was supposed to," he affirmed, a slight pout evident in his mouth.
What a contrast there was between his expression and the bruises, accompanied by the tattoos on his body.
Being in the Rehabilitation Center was the place where he could be most vulnerable.
"How is he?" he asked, lowering his gaze.
"Same as the last time you came to visit him," commented the nurse. "We're doing what we can, Jaehyun, but as long as he stays the way he is, we can't move forward. We need his will to help him."
When no words came out of his mouth, the nurse continued: "Jaehyun, you know you can go see him."
For Jaehyun, each visit was just as difficult as the day he decided to admit Sicheng to that clinic, and each one left him more tormented than the previous.
He would give everything if that means that Sicheng would go back to be himself.
He nodded after a few seconds and cautiously glanced back, where, not far away, (Y/N) was reading some brochures and observing the facilities around them; when she noticed the boy's gaze on her body, she walked toward him carefully.
The brunette didn't really know what came to his mind or what caused those words to come out of his mouth, but when he wanted to back off, it was too late, because they had already been expressed.
"Are you coming with me?"
And although (Y/N) had no idea why they were there or where they were going, she accepted anyway. So they found themselves walking down the long whitewashed hallway until they reached an elevator, and then they went up about three floors.
The atmosphere was cold, the hallways and rooms were well-lit, and they could see a few nurses and what she assumed were doctors walking around in their lab coats.
Jaehyun didn't know why he was allowing himself to show her that part of his life, especially when it was such a fragile part for him. He had tried to protect it cautiously for the past few months, and now he was there, accompanied by Hwang (Y/N), with the person he never thought he would meet at that moment.
He hadn't really thought of her when he asked if they could go there before going home; his head was only thinking about the clinic and Sicheng when the call had ended, and it was too late to change his mind when they had set off.
He just hoped the girl would be discreet enough.
They reached room 119, where Jaehyun pushed the door open and where in a wheelchair, they both could see Winwin, who was facing the large window of his room, looking outside.
(Y/N)'s surprised face did not go unnoticed; she was confused in a thousand ways. She knew who Dong Sicheng was; everyone in her school knew him, however... she thought he had simply left the city. She had no idea he was in that place. So in her head, thousands of questions arose about him, why he was there, and why he was in a wheelchair.
She could only react when she heard Jaehyun's voice: "Hey, buddy. How are you today?"
Nothing.
That's what he received.
Jaehyun walked over to him, and when he stood next to him, he crouched down enough to be able to observe him better. Winwin had his gaze fixed forward, his cheeks were a little rosy, his hair fell over his forehead, and his hands were resting on his legs.
Jaehyun sighed.
"Oh, I see you've taken a shower today," the boy mentioned with a smile, and again, there was not a single response.
When he noticed the presence of the girl, who had remained in her place throughout the visit and hesitated to approach them, he spoke: "Today I'm not alone; I brought company. Maybe you'll find it helpful to hear another voice that isn't mine or Lucas's... or the nurses'," the boy teased and gestured to the brunette to come closer, who obeyed. "Do you remember (Y/N)? She was in our class; we've coincided a couple of times, that's why she's here."
"Hello, Winwin," she greeted softly. Jaehyun made a grimace and stood up from his place to be at the girl's height.
"Don't expect an answer," Jaehyun commented. "There won't be one."
"I thought... I thought Winwin had moved to China," (Y/N) confessed.
Jaehyun snorted: "Yes, that's what everyone thinks."
Those words took her by surprise, and it was when she decided to remain silent, watching from a distance the little interaction between the boys: it was just Jaehyun saying a few words while adjusting Sicheng's hair without expecting any response.
Dong Sicheng and Jung Jaehyun had been friends since birth, being two little boys who grew up on the streets of Neo Zone, it was easy to click with each other. Winwin's parents had decided to move to the infamous area after his father had met Lee Sooman in some low neighborhood in Wenzhou, China, and he had offered him a job where he could have his family at least a little better off than in his country.
Winwin had not joined the gang since it had not been of great urgency to him; his father was the active member needed by the family, and if he were honest... the farthest he could be from the Neo Zone gang... the better. He was always Jaehyun's companion at all times. Best friends who shared every detail of their lives for years, Jaehyun took care of Sicheng, and he provided the most sincere friendship he had ever had... then, a while later, Lucas Wong and Mark Lee joined their adventures.
Four boys from Neo Zone with the desire to conquer the world, but unable to leave their sad reality behind.
Jaehyun still remembers that fateful day a year ago, and he still feels like it happened yesterday.
The guilt gnawed at him every passing day, terrorizing each of his nights as he wondered: Why?
Why did something like that have to happen to someone as good as Dong Sicheng was?
A year ago, when Jaehyun had chosen to go deliver a package of stash after Winwin had asked him to stay and keep him company, and he had denied that request... that decision still drilled into his head.
Winwin's family and he had been robbed in their own home. Knowing who had done it, the reasons for the event, and who had ordered such inhumanity, were still a mystery. When Winwin's parents along with him tried to flee the place by leaving in a car; it had not been the wisest decision they had made at the moment... because not long after, outside of Neo Zone, after the group of people who had robbed their home managed to shoot a clean shot in one of the tires of the rear part of the car, causing Winwin's father to lose control of his own vehicle and not a few meters later it would impact hard enough for the car to be shot in another direction, causing immediate damage.
Jaehyun only remembers receiving a call from Lucas and minutes later finding himself at the entrance to the Emergency Room of the General Hospital, where a stretcher with Winwin's body was being transported.
He remembers seeing the blood. He remembers hearing Lucas and Mark's screams asking to see their friend. He remembers standing still at the entrance to the Emergency Room.
But above all, he remembers thinking, what would have happened if instead of deciding to go sell that stupid package of stash, what if he had stayed at home with his mother and Sicheng?
A week in a coma and a diagnosis of paraplegia was what made Jaehyun lose his mind.
It had been a year since the accident, and Winwin had not even progressed a bit. After being diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, it had been difficult to help the injury in the dorsal spine that he had suffered; the damage had been partial, Winwin could handle his movements and his sensitivity to walk again... if only he would come out of the state of shock he was still in.
There were too many things he experienced in so few minutes, so much physical and mental pain for what happened, that now, Sicheng couldn't react.
It had been a year since Sicheng hasn’t spoken.
The doctors assured that he could hear and understand everything, but he was simply mentally tired to process the words and make them come out of his mouth.
His body didn't react as it should either.
And until Winwin had the strength of his own will to do it, the only thing they could do at that clinic was to keep him on medication so that the pains would not persist.
But Jaehyun couldn't take it anymore.
What he would give for Sicheng to be able to enjoy life again.
Unfortunately, the visits he made to the hospital... didn't last more than half an hour since that was the place's regulation. So, his farewell was as quick as his arrival.
"See you on Saturday, Win," he put his hand on his shoulder. "Don't give the nurses too much trouble."
He could swear he heard Winwin laugh and say goodbye.
Even though that really didn't happen.
(Y/N), who throughout the visit remained silent observing both boys, could feel her heart in her hand. She had never believed she would see that vulnerability on Jaehyun's part, and knowing what it was about because of the importance his best friend had in his life, made her heart ache with sadness even more.
"Now I'll take you home," murmured Jaehyun when he passed by her without saying anything else.
The girl glanced back, looking for the last time at Sicheng's silhouette, who hadn't moved from the same place since they had both arrived in the room. She took a deep breath and left the room when Jaehyun was already far enough away.
She didn't know what to say. There were no words of comfort for the situation, and she knew it, that's why they both silently said goodbye to the nurse who had received them and continued like that until they entered the car, which was not parked far away.
Jaehyun allowed himself to lean back on the driver's seat as he closed his eyes and sighed heavily.
"I guess you have many questions," Jaehyun said without opening his eyes.
She had.
"I don't know if I really should ask them," (Y/N) confessed as she looked at him.
The boy remained silent for a few seconds.
"Sicheng and his parents had an accident a year ago," Jaehyun said, opening his eyes to look at her. "An accident that was caused."
"By whom?"
"No one knows," he replied, taking his hands to the steering wheel of the car and squeezing it tightly. "His parents died instantly... Winwin arrived at the hospital in critical condition; it was a miracle that he came out alive."
"Why...?"
"Why is he in this clinic?" he interrupted, and she nodded with a knot in her stomach. "The accident had a great impact and damaged on his dorsal spine; the doctors diagnosed partial paraplegia; his sensitivity in his legs was minimal, and he couldn't make any extensive movements with his legs that didn't make him cry from the pain. After seven days, he woke up from the coma and realized everything that had happened, including my uncle's death... he hasn't said a single word since then... the doctors said it would take time for him to recover, and that eventually, he would speak, but Winwin doesn't have the will to do it; he's still in a kind of state of shock, and that has delayed his recovery," he explained, unable to see her in the eyes.
"Who... who pays for all this if Sicheng's parents aren't here?" she asked curiously.
Jaehyun sighed; "For the first few months, my boss covered part of the monthly fee, until suddenly he stopped doing it. Since then, I've been taking care of it."
The girl's expression was one of surprise.
"How do you do it?"
"That’s the reason I'm in the business that I'm in," he replied, changing his gaze to her, being able to see directly into her eyes and causing her to feel a shiver run through her body.
There was something about those bruised eyes that had done something to her.
"It must be hard," the girl said in a murmur.
Jaehyun snorted and nodded slowly. He hated being seen in his less tough character. The only person he allowed himself to be like that with was Lucas... or Winwin. And for a stranger to see him like that... made his blood boil.
"You know? Winwin loved dancing," Jaehyun said, smiling sideways as the memory came to his mind.
That fact wasn't strange for (Y/N), she remembers seeing Winwin at the school theater... the only boy from Neo Zone who was part of the dance team. She didn't even know how he had managed that, but he must have been good if the Kwangya students allowed him to be in the group.
"Now nobody knows if he'll be able to do it again," Jaehyun continued. "Winwin was the only one of all of us who really had a future, he wasn't even a gang member... he hadn't even gone through his initiation, and look how he ended up."
(Y/N) swallowed.
"Mark Lee is no longer friends with you, right?" The girl asked curiously.
"Things got complicated with him after the accident."
The brunette fell silent for a moment and then shifted her body to face him.
“Haven't you thought about looking for another alternative?” she questioned again “You know? If you let me help you, maybe I could get you a position at my father's company and...”
“Shh. I think I've told you it's not that easy.”
“ But it could be” she insisted.
Jaehyun scoffed and shook his head as he looked away from her.
“I not only have to cover this quota, I also have to bring money home, for my mom and for Jeno. It's the easiest way to get what I need” he confessed “besides, I told you once... in Neo Zone there's no way out, once you're in, you're in forever.”
The tattoos on his neck were what sentenced him to a miserable life forever.
But as long as that miserable life helped to ease the pain and managed to make Sicheng return to who he was, it would be worth it.
“It doesn't have to be like this” she murmured, focusing on her own hands.
"You don't know what it's like to be part of this," he countered in a low voice.
How had they opened up to have such a conversation so suddenly?
The girl felt her lip tremble as she remembered the scene she had witnessed minutes earlier in that room, and she couldn't help but think about how it would feel to lose a loved one in such a way... knowing that physically they were present, but mentally they weren't there.
(Y/N) had always had a heart easy to move, but she really never believed that Jung Jaehyun would be able to achieve that.
"Is that why you insist on continuing school?" she asked, looking at him again.
"Students are my best clients," he replied with a half smile.
(Y/N) didn't know how to take that.
She closed her eyes for a moment and then said, "I can help you with a few more assignments," she assured. "But only for a while and in my own way. But, I don't want you to involve me in any of the problems you're in, it will only be school matters. I don't want to be associated with anything you do, if anything you do is enough to help Sicheng, I'll try not to question it."
Jaehyun couldn't believe what he had just heard.
"If that helps you help me and me stay in school..." he paused "...I might be willing."
"What's the reason for your change of heart?"
"Because if I were in the same situation as you, I would also want someone to somehow help me," she replied, hugging herself.
The boy nodded with a half-smile, and without further ado, he started the car.
"Only school matters," Jaehyun confirmed.
She definitely didn't know what he had just gotten himself into.
______________________________________________
The day after the visit to the National Rehabilitation Center, something happened that made (Y/N) unable to concentrate enough during class hours. Her mind kept going back to the place over and over again, but how horrible was the situation the boy was in. One day you're capable, and the next... not even being able to move. How could anyone endure that?
At some point in the morning, during the physics period, her mind was spinning, her leg moving anxiously, and she bit her lips. She tried to erase the conversation she and Jaehyun had had the day before a thousand times and tried to erase the image of Winwin in that room.
But it was impossible.
Just when she thought she had succeeded, the image returned immediately.
She hated being someone who cared too much about things.
Because she knew something wasn't right with her when she found herself in front of the doors of the Rehabilitation Center.
Her coat shielded her from the cold breeze on that day, and as she clutched her bag to her, she didn't think anymore and entered the place.
She felt a little out of place when she entered the center, but after a few minutes, a presence came in front of her.
"Hello, good morning," the nurse greeted her. "Oh, you're the girl who accompanied Jaehyun yesterday, right?" She asked in confusion.
The girl smiled and nodded. "Yes, I'm Hwang (Y/N). I'm Jaehyun's classmate... and Winwin's."
"How nice of you to visit us... are you here to see Winwin? It's rare to see someone come for him other than Lucas or Jaehyun," confessed the nurse.
"Um, yes... I could say I'm here for a visit," the girl smiled. "But, to be honest... yesterday I overheard a bit of his conversation with Jaehyun... I know Winwin's payment is delayed this month."
"Yes, usually Jaehyun finds a way to pay on time," she sighed. "But this month it's been delayed for a few weeks, and if I'm honest, I've been doing everything I can to keep Winwin from being discharged."
The girl nodded and asked, "Do you think Winwin's treatment will still take time?"
"I can't answer that accurately," admitted the nurse. "It's all a matter of Winwin's will, but to be honest, right now he has no will at all, so far as we're concerned, and if the payment continues to be monthly... he could spend another half a year here."
The girl understood the situation, and although she would like to think more about it... she didn't, so she didn't even know when she blurted out those words: "Is there any way I can pay for the next six months?"
The nurse's eyes widened with surprise, and she looked at the girl with enthusiasm. "Are you serious?"
"Yes," she replied. "I would like to help one of my classmates as long as I can. Money is not a problem," she confessed.
"Wow... thank you, i really appreciate that. Winwin is a boy with a lot of potential from what we know, and although we're sad that we haven't made the progress we want, we know that someday he will leave through that door better," (Y/N) smiled nostalgically.
"I just need to ask you something," the brunette confessed. "Could you not tell Jaehyun that I've paid?" she questioned.
"I don't know if it's easy to lie to someone like Jaehyun," the nurse laughed. "But since it's something good you've done... I'll try," the nurse walked to the desk with (Y/N) behind her. "(Y/N)?" She called and paid attention. "I know there may be many things about Jaehyun... but he's a good guy... beneath all that facade; he really has something good."
Those words hammered in her head. "Thank you."
_____________________________________________
(Y/N) reviewed the same line of text she had read five times now on some molasses topic. Trying to understand the topic deeply.
The air coming lightly through one of the library windows was enough for her to try to hug herself to take warmth, read a bit from the physics books on the table, and impatiently move her leg.
She didn't know at what exact moment a tall figure stood in front of her, but what she did know was that that person didn't seem very happy.
"Why did you do it?" Jaehyun let out while looking directly at her.
"I don't know what you're talking about," (Y/N) replied while looking at her book attentively.
"I know you know. I thought I told you I don't need your money," Jaehyun repeated with annoyance.
"I still don't know what you're talking about," the girl stopped seeing her book and changed her gaze to the boy.
"Don't play with me," the boy exclaimed exasperatedly. "Why did I went to the center today and they told me Winwin's treatment has been paid for the next six months?"
The girl shrugged. "It could have been your boss."
"My boss doesn't give a shit about Winwin!" Exclaimed the boy. "I told you I didn't need your money, I was clear, I don't want to owe anything to anyone from Kwangya."
"You don't need to pay me back," the girl assured, standing up in front of Jaehyun. "With the money you'll save from that, you'll be able to sell less."
"It seems you don't understand a fucking thing!" Jaehyun raised your arms with annoyance. "Paying or not paying for Sicheng's treatment, it doesn't change the fact that I sell drugs!" The boy explained regardless of where they were; they were lucky the library wasn't being occupied by other people.
"Everyone starts somewhere!" the girl attacked. "I just wanted to take a weight off your shoulders."
Jaehyun scoffed and looked at her with a sarcastic smile.
"Why? I don't need your pity! If you hadn't accompanied me yesterday, you'd still be thinking Winwin had moved to China! You didn't give a fucking damn even when he was your classmate!"
(Y/N) started gathering her things and putting them in her backpack.
"Saying thank you would have been enough, Jaehyun!" the girl remarked. "I know you can do better with your life," she murmured as she turned to look at him.
Jaehyun's blood was boiling; he hated when people interfered in his life, as if he didn't already have enough to deal with.
"You don't know anything about me! You said it yourself; we're not even friends," he retorted.
"And what if I want to get to know you better?" the girl exclaimed without thinking. They both fell silent, staring into each other's eyes. (Y/N) didn't even want to say those words, but she did.
She couldn't deny that Jung Jaehyun was intriguing. She didn't know why. She didn't know why she had been avoiding him for weeks, but since that night at Neo Zone, when they had talked about the deal, she knew it would be difficult to shake him off, and when she had... something inside her wanted them to meet again. Why are things so difficult? They are two different people from different backgrounds; why would she suddenly be interested in him? Was it because she saw him vulnerable the day before? Or was it because she believed there was something good in him, just like the nurse had said?
She must be crazy to think like that.
"You really don't want to do it," Jaehyun said with a bit more calmness.
"I know you can get out out of that hole, Jaehyun."
"Winwin's parents tried, and look how that ended up!" he exclaimed. "There's no way out in Neo Zone, get that through your head," he explained. "There's nothing good about me. I don't even know why you think so, just because yesterday you saw something different or because I drove you home a couple of times, doesn't mean you know everything about me!"
"Stop acting like a fucking jerk."
"Like a jerk? This is reality! Your act of charity isn't going to change my life. I was born a dealer, and that's how my life will end!"
"I really believe there's something good in you."
"Well, keep believing it."
"If you ever feel grateful, you know where to find me," the girl said, gathering her things and walking out of the library.
Jaehyun cursed under his breath and shook his hands in frustration. In just a few days, the girl had managed to push his buttons faster than anyone else from Neo Zone.
But when he saw her walk out the door, why did he feel regret for lashing out at her?
_______________________________________________
The week had been slow this time. (Y/N) and Jaehyun had been avoiding each other like the plague, not even looking at each other when they crossed paths in the hallway. For the girl, it seemed like childish behavior, especially coming from Jaehyun and his usual façade; now he seemed nothing more than someone throwing a tantrum after she only wanted to help him.
But she still thought she really wanted to get to know him better.
What was behind his façade? What was it that made him who he was? Not the boy from Neo Zone, not the dealer everyone knew... who was Jeong Jaehyun really?
That question had been on her mind for weeks, and it disappointed her a bit to know that she might never know the answers to those doubts she had about the boy.
Today was warm compared to the weather last week. The sun was shining brightly, and luckily for (Y/N), her mother had decided to return her car. So her day had started off on the right foot, and hoping for a good day, she took the opportunity to stop by her favorite coffee shop in Kwangya. Ordering her usual vanilla latte and just before it was time to pay, a thought invaded her mind, and after debating it internally, she decided to follow her thoughts.
An hour and a half later, when she was the last one to leave her physics class, someone blocked her path at the classroom door. Holding her book to her chest, after the unexpected startle, she looked ahead to find no one but Jaehyun. Who stood silently in front of her, with the same leather jacket he used to wear, the same combination of marijuana and vanilla scent, and with the same enchanting eyes, that she had just noticed.
She was in dangerous territory.
And she knew it.
"I need to go to my next class, Jaehyun," the girl said shortly.
For a few seconds, the boy in front of her didn't say anything, he just watched her, until he sighed and slowly said, "Thank you."
Short and to the point, he didn't say anything else, and that was enough to make (Y/N)'s heart flutter in a thousand ways.
"For the coffee," the boy finished. "And for the notes."
"I did my part, I told you I would help you," said (Y/N) as she fiddled with her fingers.
"I thought you wouldn't after the last time we met," Jaehyun confessed.
"I'm sticking to that."
A small silence ensued. Two people face to face. With thousands of doubts between them and things to resolve. What had drawn them together? How was it that the universe managed to put two completely different people in the same place?
"Did you mean it?" Jaehyun asked, and when he noticed that (Y/N) didn't understand what he meant, he continued. "About wanting to get to know me more."
(Y/N) swallowed hard and looking him in the eyes, nodded.
"I still believe there's something good in you."
"Why?"
"I don't know yet," she replied honestly. "And it's killing me. A while ago, I wouldn't have wanted anything to do with you, not even to cross paths, but now, I don't know what's changed, but every time I try to stay away, it's like something brings me back here," she confessed, leaving Jaehyun speechless, who just watched her, trying to decipher everything she was saying.
It was killing him too.
"Let's go to my car," he said.
"Huh?" she asked, confused.
"You want to know more about me, then get in my car," he said again, this time making his way to the parking lot, with (Y/N) behind him, who didn't say a single word, just followed his lead.
What was he doing?
When they reached the car, Jaehyun opened the passenger door, causing (Y/N) to get in without protesting. Then Jaehyun got into the driver's seat and without further ado, started the engine. She didn't know what was happening or what would happen next, but right now she could only trust Jaehyun.
Even though she didn't know how bad an idea that might be.
A few minutes later, as they had traveled a long distance, (Y/N) noticed they were approaching Neo Zone, and with her eyes wide open, she panicked.
"This is me," Jaehyun said out of nowhere, catching the girl's attention. "See all these streets? This is where I belong. This is what I am," he explained carefully.
(Y/N) looked out the window, a couple of people smoking on the sidewalk, others passing joints, and other silent streets. The houses weren't that big... rather, they looked cramped. Unlike what she was used to, to her lifestyle, this didn't seem like it would be enough for a family.
But what did she know with the privilege she had?
"I grew up here, this is what I know," he commented. "Most people are born and die here, it's something that seems to be already written," he continued as his car slowed down. "Those of us from here have a different perspective on life... people from Kwangya lives for the money... we live to survive, and although it's getting harder and harder, we manage to do it," the car finally stopped, and still looking out the window, (Y/N) saw a small house in front of them. One story, not much to describe or point out, it was small but for some reason, it looked cozy.
(Y/N) changed her gaze to Jaehyun, who was still looking ahead and spoke.
"Is this your house?"
Jaehyun nodded.
(Y/N) smiled softly.
"Would you invite me in?"
______________________________________________
He doesn't know how (Y/N) managed to have an effect on him, but now they were there, inside his little house, (Y/N) carefully examining the walls around them and analyzing every aspect of the small space.
He was grateful there were no one at home.
"It looks cozy," (Y/N) said as she looked at one of the frames hanging on the wall.
"I guess it's not even a third of your house," Jaehyun assured to (Y/N).
“And no matter how many people are there, it always feels lonely," she confessed. "It's like no one leaves anything there, like it's something unimportant. As if it's not a home," she finished.
Jaehyun looked at her gently, and as she looked around, thousands of things went through his mind.
"To be honest with you," the girl spoke. "I see more vibes from Jeno in this house than yours," she said. "Many things here seem related to Jeno... but I don't see many things related to you..." she continued. "It's like you don't even think about staying here for long."
"I don't plan on leaving Neo Zone," Jaehyun asserted, crossing his arms.
"Don't you want a different future?"
"There's no future for me," Jaehyun pointed out. "And if there were, I'd prefer to give it to Jeno. He has much more to live for than I do."
"You also have a life to live. A future to write, you can change what is today, for something better," (Y/N) turned around to face the boy.
"I have no way out," the boy replied. "Do you think this is easy? After seeing my dad die and doing everything my bosses ask me to do no matter what. Taking care of my mom, Jeno, and now Winwin? Huh? Making sure Winwin becomes who he was again and that my brother doesn't end up being a fucking addict are enough reasons for me not to leave here," Jaehyun concluded, getting dangerously close to her, with a few centimeters separating them.
The words echoed in her head strongly.
"I'm sorry," she whispered.
"Don't pity me," Jaehyun said under his breath.
"It's not that. It's just that every time I think about all this and now that I see your place and I don't see anything that seems to belong to you, it makes me think that's what you're looking for, to belong to something and leave here as soon as there's an opportunity,"
Jaehyun looked directly at her, not knowing what to say. And afraid to think that maybe she was right.
Because yes, maybe he wanted to get out of there, along with his mom, Jeno, and Winwin; maybe he wanted to do something with his life that wasn't illegal, but what was the point of thinking about it when he knew he wouldn't make it? He was afraid to admit that he wanted to be able to change things, to be able to make his family okay, that no shadow from the past would follow them, that they would have a place where they could forge a clean and safe future.
"This has never been about what I want," Jaehyun commented with a future. "Since I was born, everything around me was the gang. After my father's death, I knew what was coming, and I knew I would never be able to get out of it. It doesn’t matter what I want. It matter what my boss wants, he has that kind of power, no one below him has their own decision. The whole life of Neo Zone is ruled by him," he concluded, even closer to her.
(Y/N) looked him in the eyes, her breath uncontrolled. Her chest heaved, and her hands were sweating.
"What do you want, Jaehyun?" she whispered.
The boy paused for a moment and looked at her lips.
"Now?" he asked, and she nodded. "Would it be unrealistic to say that I want to kiss you?"
"How realistic would it be to say that I want you to do it?
She didn't even finish the question because Jaehyun's lips collided firmly with hers. The boy's long hands slid through (Y/N)'s soft hair, her hair smelling of lavender shampoo. He gently covered her cheek with one of his rough hands, and she melted into the touch.
It wasn't a hurried kiss, as (Y/N) thought it would be; actually, Jaehyun was taking the time to savor every passing second. As if this moment would disappear at any minute and he wanted to hold onto it.
Was he looking for something to belong to?
His hand moved from her cheek to her waist, and she took the opportunity to press her body against his and release a moan of pleasure. As if she felt complete leaning against Jaehyun's warmth.
As if it was something they both longed for for a long time.
And even though she wanted to continue with the act, they were severely interrupted when a car horn sounded incessantly outside the house, causing them to separate with tremendous confusion. (Y/N)'s red cheeks were enough to make Jaehyun's heart race, but when he heard another horn, he took her hand and they walked outside in hurry.
And then, there was Jeno, being thrown out of the back of a car, blood streaming from a cut on his eyebrow, bruises scattered all over his body, and falling firmly to the ground after being thrown.
"I want this to be the last time your brother sets foot in our zone. Next time it won't be him we throw," the familiar voice of a boy from the opposing gang spoke up. Chris. Who was with the window down and smiling maliciously. "Neither will it be you, Jung. It will be the girl who will end up like this,"
Jaehyun moved abruptly from his place to try to reach the car, but it left as fast as it could, (Y/N) shocked to hear those words, didn't do anything more than approach Jeno to help him up. Then Jaehyun cursed under his breath and looked into the distance at the girl and her brother together.
And his chest tightened as he realized that now, she too had been involved.
And he believed there was no turning back, because she was right... Jaehyun wanted to belong to something.
But how selfish would it be to belong to (Y/N)?
a/n: well now you know what happened to Winwin TT. Once again I’m sorry if this took too long I promise I’ll try to update sooner this time!

helloo this is my first time in a while requesting so if this doesn't make much sense then that's whyy
could I please request peter parker with an s/o who does competitive cheer as a sport, and gets hurt a lot because they have a lot of main parts in routines (like tumbling nd holding girls up nd stuff), peter is always concerned for them cuz they r always hurting something but he also loves seeing them perform at comps and stuff
if you want a better understanding of the sport u could research! but thanks in advance <3
pom-poms and bruises | peter parker
Tumblr media
a/n: your request was great, no worries! i did do my fair share of research, but lemme tell you, my knowledge on cheer (or, like, any sport) is mad limited. if i got some information incorrect, i apologize in advance! i took... creative liberties (?) and changed some minor details - instead of competitive cheer, it's high school cheer. enjoy the fic, and i hope i did this request it's justice. sorry this took so long!!
summary: peter can't help but worry seeing you all bruised up, but no matter what, he's your biggest fan.
warnings: the ouchies, innuendos to sex
pairing: fem!cheerleader!reader x peter parker
word count: 1.8k+ words
Tumblr media
"oh jeez," peter sighs, rubbing his thumb over the bruise on your cheek. it was a blue-purple, indicating that it was fresh. "what happened?"
you wave him off, grinning, "you know how it goes, battle scars and all."
"scar?" he cocks a brow.
sighing, "battle bruise isn't half as badass."
"right, i forgot the most important thing is proclaiming our dominance in the social hiearchy of the big ol' globe. and obviously not our physical health."
"you wouldn't understand, baby. it's a full time job."
gently, peter pushes you up against your locker. leaning in to whisper, he says, "i wouldn't, angel? best believe i've got battle scars of my own."
"ugh. so not the same. not everyone has the luck of getting to be a human-spider."
"yeah, okay, luck."
"you seriously cannot complain," you deadpan. "that bite did you favors! like, down there, you grew at least- mmph-!"
peter covers your mouth with his hand, "we are not having this conversation."
"it was a compliment! i mean, it's not like you sucked before or anything. i'm just saying it... improved... you."
"somehow, this isn't going the direction you think it is."
"oops. i didn't mean to hurt your over-inflating ego."
"first off, if anyone has an ego that needs to be kept in check, it's you."
"don't blame me," you tell him, "blame the girls," you're referring to your cheer team, pinching his cheeks. "but... maybe i can compensate with a kiss?"
he feigns annoyance, "i suppose." in response, you lean in for a kiss, melting at his touch.
peter kisses your bruise as well, letting it linger for a moment longer. "does it hurt?" he asks.
"barely," you shrug, leaning in for more, but he isn't quite focused on that at the moment. giving you a look, he softly pokes your cheek, to which you wince.
"right. barely."
"don't be a worry-wart, worry-wart."
"i'm not! 'm just concerned!"
"puh-lease," you scoff. "you come back worse! remember that time you broke and entered into my bedroom, then proceed to bleed out onto that cute new rug?"
he looks down, epitome of cute puppy. "yes," peter says, guilty, "i do."
you pat his stomach, nuzzling your nose against his. "see? so you have nothing to worry about. me, on the other hand," you trail off.
"nah. you don't have anything to worry about either, angel."
"watch me worry anyways," you snort.
he pinches your cheeks, and you swat his hands away. "watch it!"
"you're my intellectual property."
"oh, so you're objectifying me now?"
"wait- no! no, of course not!"
"lemme me just say right now, may would not be happy."
peter groans, shoving you away.
"no!" you giggle, "i'm sorry! i won't snitch!"
he peeks an eye open, turning his head just barely to look at you. "fine, i guess," peter pulls you back.
"hey, petey?"
"hm?" he asks, nuzzled in your neck. there's just a few minutes before class starts, and he wants to make the most of it.
"are you coming to the game? it's my first year of being captain, and, well, it'd be cool if you came." suddenly you're more bashful than giggly, and he's quick to assure you.
"are you kidding me? of course i'm coming. i'm not missing the chance to see my girl shine.
"you sure? because i know you don't care for foot-"
"shhh," he presses his palm to your mouth. "yeah, i hate football, but i just to happen to love y- god!" he exclaims as you lick his hand, but in your defense, what did peter expect?"
"you put in on my mouth!"
peter narrows his eyes at you, "vermin."
"see you tonight?"
"see you tonight," peter replies as the bell rings. with one last kiss, you part ways.
Tumblr media
your hair was done, two yellow and blue bows to tie the look together. midtown theme eyeshadow was painted on your eyelids, with stars dotted on your cheekbones. you have your cheer uniform on, and you're basically jumping with how giddy you are.
part of you is nervous, because you don't want to mess this up. every year, a senior is picked to be captain, with a junior as a mentee. not only do you have to set a good example for the junior this year, but you have to wow everyone.
checking your makeup one more time, you grab your purse, heading out to the car.
by the time you get there, your teammates are already stretching. on the other side of the field, football players are warming up. last year, liz was captain, well, before she moved. then she got replaced by gwen.
you knew liz and peter... okay, so you weren't completely sure, but they had something. some part of you wanted to be better than liz, entirely for peter. you know it was silly, but you felt like you had something to prove. some families are already in, which is funny, because there's an hour to the game.
it's normally parents and friends of the cheerleaders/players that get here before most people, but there are some occasions.
peter's here, you know that. you haven't looked for him yet, but as you get up, you scan the bleacher. finally, you spot a curly, brown-haired boy (it helps that he's waving like crazy) and his aunt. you blow a kiss to them, grin present of your face.
tasha, one your girls, taps your shoulder, "we're gonna run our routine a couple times, okay? just before the game starts." you pull your eyes away from may and peter, nodding at her.
the familiar music of your routine starts playing. the first part's easy, synchronized movements, shoulder-to-shoulder.
as the routine progresses, you feel the familiar rush of adrenaline. you spot the base of the pyramid, their arms outstretched, and with a deep breath, you allow yourself to be pulled upwards.
their grip is firm and reassuring as you climb, hand over hand, until you reach the apex. a split second later, you're soaring through the air, launching into a full backflip.
as you launch yourself into the backflip, you feel your body twist off-axis. the ground rushes up to meet you, and with a sickening thud, you land flat on your face. a gasp escapes your lips, the sting of impact radiating through your jaw.
the cheers falter for a moment, but your teammates are quick to react. they rush to your side, concern etched on their faces. you sit up, momentarily stunned, but the pain quickly makes itself known.
just as soon as it's there, it's gone, leaving you slightly sore. "i'm okay!" you call out, lopsided smile on your face. the first person you look for is peter, who's already heading towards you.
gently, he moves everyone away. "jesus, are you okay? what'd you fall onto? your head? wait, are you dizzy? lightheaded? nauseated?" peter grabs your by the chin, hurry to inspect everything on your face.
"baby, baby," you say, cradling his hand. "i'm okay, i swear. i might've bruised something... like my ego," you joke, smile on your face, but he is not amused.
"no? okay. well, honestly my jaw is too, or will be," you point to the left side. "'s red?"
"yeah," he winces, "it's gonna leave a nasty bruise." you're sure it's not as bad with makeup on, but you can't be sure.
"does anyone have concealer?" you call out.
jenny, a girl that's your shade nods, "yeah! i'll grab it!" she tosses it to you, and you catch it perfectly.
peter presses his lips together, "so no concussion?"
"because i caught it? to be fair, that was mostly luck."
his eyes widen. "but no! i don't have any concussions!"
peter tilts his head, "icepack?"
"nah. i'm good, really."
he hesitates, "okay. be careful though, seriously." you don't feel like hearing a lecture right now, so you nod quickly.
"i will, i will!"
"because i swear-"
"you won't have to! i'm all good. now leave," you joke, "you're embarrassing me. if i wanted to be smothered, i would've asked for my mom."
he blows a raspberry at you, and gives you a quick kiss. "be careful," he repeats, "and good luck!" he jogs back over to may, and you watch him leave.
jenny giggles as you brush yourself off, "you guys are so cute."
blushing, you murmur a thanks. quickly, you grab your phone to cover up the forming bruise. and there's not really time for another run-through.
all you can do is hope it won't happen again.
there's a small dance at the start of the game and some other here and there, but it's not anything crazy. what is crazy is halftime.
as you get into your position, you fidget. "you'll be great," one of the girls tell you.
"thank you," you smile.
"yeah, no, you will," says another.
you don't feel super ready, not after that fall, but there's not much you can do about it.
the song, louder than before, echoes through your eardrums, a roll of excitement passes through you. no matter how anxious you are, you'll always love cheer.
it's your safe place.
the music swells, and you launch into a series of cheers with your teammates, your voice ringing out in perfect unison. as the routine progresses, you feel the familiar rush of adrenaline. you spot the base of the pyramid, their arms outstretched, and with a deep breath, you allow yourself to be pulled upwards.
their grip is firm and reassuring as you climb, hand over hand, until you reach the apex. a split second later, you're soaring through the air, launching into a full backflip.
you twist perfectly, landing with a confident thud back in the waiting arms of your base. the crowd erupts in cheers, and you beam, the thrill of the successful stunt coursing through you.
you did it, and everyone's squealing. peter's not that far from where you are, and you can hear him shrieking; "that's my girlfriend!"
you grin at him, and he whoops again.
the rest of the game flies by, and you finish the last routine. midtown ends up winning 20-17.
peter scooping you up in his arms, spinning you around. "that was awesome! seriously, like, mind-blown! and you didn't fall this time!"
may comes up beside him, hugging you, "you did fantastic, sweetheart. freaked me out with that fall, though," she chuckles, and you kiss her cheek. "my bad," you tell her, rubbing the back of your neck.
"hey, pete, hun, i'm gonna head out, okay? hospital shift was crazy."
you frown, "was it late?"
may sighs, "two a.m. to five p.m."
"oh, may, you should've gone home to get rest!"
"and miss my lovely girl's big night? you're crazy."
"aww," you coo, hugging her again. "sleep well, okay?"
"oh, please, i'll be knocked out like a baby." you laugh as she leaves.
"we should totally get ice cream," peter says.
"ooh, yes!"
"wait, don't you have an after party?"
"i'd rather spend it with you," peter pecks your lips. "and, we can have extra dessert," he winks.
you frown in confusion, "like cupcakes too? can we get cho- oh. oh! i really, really like that idea."
"good. i'm gonna let you know how badass of a girlfriend you are."
"why don't we skip straight to the second dessert? switch things up?"

“Y/n your phone is ringing again.”
Lifting your head from where it was resting against the beach chair you picked it up glancing at the lit-up screen. A shot of pain went through your heart once more seeing Tyler’s name on the screen.
“Tyler again?” Your best friend Renee asked as you nodded silently ignoring the call and placing the phone back down readjusting the sunglasses on your head. “Why don’t you just talk to him, hear what he wants to say and then be done with everything who knows maybe you’ll feel better.”
“I don’t know Ree it’s been hard enough avoiding him these last few weeks; I don’t think I’m ready yet.”
“That’s understandable babes but at least figure out what you’re going to do especially with MJF asking you out for drinks more than once in the last week.”
“Uhg don’t remind me I’m thankful he told me, but I just don’t want to go out or spend any time with him, ya know what I mean?”
“Maybe he has a thing for you I mean you’re a total hottie so I could see it.” “Maxwell is not my type and I just hope he realizes that.”
Renee smiles winking at you as she leans back in her chair grabbing your phone when it rings again then shuts it off.
“Figure it out babes.” Staying quiet you settled back into your seat thinking maybe she was right maybe you should finally talk to Tyler just so you could get closure. The rest of the afternoon your mind plays back everything over the last couple of weeks. When you walked out on Tyler you didn’t know where to go but thankfully Renee was there to help you pick up the pieces. Tony was willing to give you a little time off work using an injury from a backstage jumping to explain your absence. The first few days were spent just crying in Renee and Jon’s guest room trying to get the pain to ease even a little. Your dreams tortured you at night with images of him, more than once you woke up feeling like he was right there with you. His arm heavy across your waist the faint scent of him on the t-shirt you couldn’t bear to give back. As more time passed it got a little easier at least with doing everyday activities, Tyler had blown up your phone every chance he could, but you ignored the messages. Now you were seriously considering talking to him just so your heart could have the closure you needed. Maybe then it wouldn’t take so long for your heart to heal. Returning back to your hotel room you stood outside the shower waiting for the water to heat up staring at the text box. ‘Okay y/n you can do this just send the message and be done with it.’
Typing quickly before you chickened out you had the message ready, it was straight to the point.
‘Tyler I’m reaching out to let you know I’m willing to talk. I’ll meet you at the arena an hour before show time. I expect the truth.’
Pressing send after staring at it for another few minutes you finally place the phone down and get a shower. Despite not having a match or being on tv tonight you were going to be backstage to hang out with Renee and watch Jon’s match. Stepping out you made yourself dry off and get dressed before daring to look at your phone, you hated that he still had the power to make your heart skip a beat seeing his name. Ignoring all the other messages from him you looked at the most recent.
‘Okay I’ll be there.’
Grabbing your bag and slinging it over your shoulder you head down to your rental car. Part of you was scared to hear what he had to say. Didn’t want to hear anymore about how you were a bet and everything you had envisioned for your relationship was nothing more than one sided. The thought you shared your deepest secrets with him all your hopes, dreams. Knowing inside that it wasn’t real or at least that his feelings weren’t in the same place as yours; left a sour taste in your mouth that wouldn’t leave.
Pulling into the parking lot of the arena you lock your rental and head inside, you knew he’d already be in the catering area. You’d always meet in catering when one of you rode with a friend or had some other business to handle first. Sending a text to Renee letting her know what was going on and why you weren’t in Jon’s locker room. Place your phone on silent before making your way down the hall. You could already hear some voices and slowly stepped inside, almost immediately your eyes landed on Tyler. His head lifting just as quickly almost as if he could sense you were there. Motioning for him to follow you stepped back out not bothering to wait to see if he got up. Slowly going down the other hall you could hear his feet following you, neither of you speaking as you turned this way and that to find a private space.
Coming to an empty and partly lit hallway you stopped taking a moment to compose yourself before turning to look at him. The sight caused your heart to ache, Tyler’s eyes had dark circles underneath them from apparent lack of sleep and his hair was messier than usual. He looked as bad as she had been feeling lately.
“I’m going to be honest I wasn’t expecting you to answer any of my texts.” His voice filled the silence, and you could hear the exhaustion evident in the way he spoke.
“I wasn’t going to, but you wouldn’t stop blowing my phone up and I just.. Realized that I really need the closure. So go ahead say whatever.”
“Look.” Tyler rubbed a hand over his face and leaned against the wall looking at the floor.
“I don’t know what all MJF told you or whatever and yes, I know it was him because the fucker texted me about it. Our relationship was real, I meant everything I have ever told you it’s not what you’re thinking.”
“Tyler, I’m not an idiot so I’d appreciate it if you didn’t treat me like one, I heard the recordings of you talking with Ethan.  ‘Are you sure you’re going to be able to keep it up much longer? Of course, I can she’s completely clueless of everything. She trusts me more than anyone, she’s even told me herself.’ That doesn’t sound like it wasn’t still a bet when we were dating.”
You repeated the messages that swam through your head on the daily since you left him. It hurt you hearing that and feeling like you weren’t of importance to him when he meant the world and more to you.
“Okay the truth the whole truth, when I first came up to you it was only because of a bet with Ethan. If I could get you to talk with me, he’d get a few of the things I had my eye on but didn’t want to use the money because I couldn’t justify it.”
You listened and watched as he fidgeted and shifted on his feet his nerves trying to get the better of him.
“However, as we talked more and eventually got together the bet wasn’t even on my mind anymore. I told Ethan it was dropped and no longer important when we started getting closer.  He didn’t even get me the items I was looking at because I was having such a good time with you. I know I hurt you and I’m sorry.”
Tyler turned to finally look at you as he stepped closer, his hands hanging at his sides.
“I love you y/n I know it may not seem like that but I swear to you our relationship was real and I meant everything I have ever told you.
“You should have been honest with me from the beginning I’m a human not some game you can play while you’re bored. Even if we hadn’t got together even if we just stayed friends that’s not how you begin any type of relationship. I have feelings and emotions hearing those voice notes hurt me so badly finding out that you only came up to me because of a stupid bet. It makes me feel like all this time was nothing but a waste.”
You whispered the last part feeling the emotions of the last few weeks building up inside, no tears would fall given that you’d cried so much lately. Tyler couldn’t stand seeing the look on your face, the pain and hurt was evident. The fact he had made you feel this way hit him with such a wave of guilt.
“I know baby and I’m so sorry I don’t know what else to say apart from I’m an idiot and I never meant for you to get hurt. I didn’t think you’d ever find out about it, not that it’s an excuse for what I did to you. I know I shouldn’t ask but do you think it’s possible we can work through this? Even if we need take it slow.”
Looking at Tyler you thought for a few minutes, leaving him in agonizing silence while he waited for you to answer.
“Maybe, I need to wrap my head around this all but I’m not saying no. First thing you can do is come with me to see Maxwell.” Turning you made your way back towards catering with Tyler walking behind you a small flicker of hope in his heart. The two of you searched everywhere before finally finding MJF in a backstage interview, when he spotted you, a smirk crossed his face. Which quickly turned to a frown when he spotted Tyler beside you. Waiting until he was finished you watched as he made everyone leave the area and turn back towards you.
“Well, what an unpleasant surprise I did not expect to see the two of you around each other ever again. So, is this why you’ve rejected all my offers for drinks? You’ve accepted his apology.” “What’s going on between myself and Tyler is private. I appreciate you telling me about everything but even if I hadn’t spoken to Tyler today, I’m just not interested in you that way. I’d rather just be coworkers.”
“Wait you’ve been asking her out?” Tyler looked at you before glaring at MJF who shrugged his shoulders. “Yeah, I have been so what.” “Those conversations you recorded were from months ago when we first began talking, it wasn’t until Y/n and I started having a few issues that you decided to tell her everything. You’ve been trying to get her to break up with me just so you could try and weasel your way in.” “Anyone with taste would know I’m a far better choice over any other man in this damn company if she’s too stupid to understand that well it’s her loss.” Before either of you could react, Tyler’s fist swung out connecting with the other man’s jaw the few people that were lingering outside the door quickly rushed in. Separating the two of them you grabbed Tyler’s arm and tugged him away from where MJF was sitting on the floor holding his mouth and wiping the blood off his bottom lip. “Tyler please don’t.” Looking at you he huffed and led you away with a gentle nudge on your lower back ignoring the shouting from Maxwell. Together the two of you walked towards Jon’s locker room and stopped outside the door, Tyler taking your hand in his lightly.   “I don’t know what’s going to happen between us, but I want you to know I’ll do whatever I can to prove myself to you again. I love you y/n and that’s not going to stop.” He whispered pressing a kiss to your forehead than turned and walked away, he didn’t want you to say anything else right now he was going to let you have your time. He was determined to win you back and you could bet on that.

Ethan had called your number, asking if you could pick him up. he was at some party with his friends, he probably got drunk again and is now wasted which makes you think you’ll probably have to carry him inside the car.
You had your car keys in your hand, making your way into the house and once you made it inside you were immediately faced with crowded people who were everywhere.
Making your way through the musty, drunk, and sweaty crowd you found yourself in the kitchen. Ethan wasn’t there either.
"Hey, excuse me-" the bystander was paying you no mind, her phone was in her other hand, she must’ve been facetiming someone.
She laughed, you could smell the alcohol from her breath, making your face scrunch in disgust.
"Hey, excuse me. ma’am?" you said again, trying to get her attention. she slammed her red party cup on the marble designed countertop, turning to glare at you.
She clicked her tongue, "can’t you see I’m talking on the phone with someone? or are you blind or something? people barely have any patience nowadays, it’s crazy!" she exclaimed.
You squeezed the car keys in your hands, sucking in some air through your nose, holding your composure.
"Listen, all I wanted to ask is if you seen ethan? he’s this boy with curly brown hair and a dorky weird smile and brown eyes." you explained, all she did was giggle.
Was she high? no, you didn’t have time for this dumb shit right now. you had to find ethan.
"I haven’t seen no kid with brown curly hair. lemme add the laughing emoji beside that. anyways hotshot, you want a drink? I can make a special one for you." The girl said, grabbing your hand and placing a sloppy kiss on the back of it.
Oh how you wanted to just sock her in the face from just doing that, but surprisingly you didn’t. if that was anyone else who wasn’t drunk they’d definitely knock her out. and you were one of them. but you’ll admit it was kind of nice of her but she was drunk right now— and it made you weirded out and uncomfortable.
Your face felt like it was about to go red, wasn’t she just annoyed by your presence a few minutes ago?
"Yes, yes I know I was annoyed by you a few minutes ago but when I see someone like you? I can make time for it. so, beautiful, what’s it gonna be?" She asked, her words sounded like they were slurring from how much alcohol she consumed.
You sighed and yanked your hand out of her grip, "okay look, I just need to find my friend. and my advice for you is to go home and sleep the alcohol off. alright?" you told her.
"My names Andrea by the way. I think I’ve seen you in my classes, which one is it? uh- English? yeah, that class. I’m not that drunk, but erm, the boy with the curly and weird smile? I saw him talking with his roommate Chad. he’s somewhere in this damn house." Andrea explained, you gave her a slight nod.
"Uhm, thanks Andrea." you said, her eyes had a flash of sadness in them for a moment before she smiled and it quickly went away, "I have this campaign coming up with a couple of people who are interested in science. I was hoping.." Andrea trailed off before handing you a flyer. you took it from her hands, her fingers brushing yours for a minute before she pulled away with a very visible blush which you somehow weren’t able to see.
"I was hoping you’d come. all seats are opened, we just need a few more members and I thought you’d fit the spot. it’s up to you if you feel like it." Andrea said, you stared down at the flyer with a tilted head, reading the guidelines.
"I’d love to come." you told her, but then it completely slipped your mind— you had to look for ethan.
Andrea felt a ghost of a smile appear on her lips, "okay, I’ll see you then. go find you’re friend." she continued and giggled while placing a hand over her mouth.
You nodded and left her in the kitchen, at least she had the courage to speak to you. if she wasn’t drunk then maybe she wouldn’t feel so embarrassed- but right now she felt extremely embarrassed. especially when you had to see her like that.
Making your way into the livingroom, you saw tara, anika, and Mindy. you barely talked to the three of them since ethan never introduced you.
"Hey, I know I don’t know the three of you, but have you guys seen Ethan? Ethan landry?" you asked frantically, Tara recognized who you were.
"Oh, you’re (Y/n)! it’s nice to finally meet you. he’s uhm, over there I think. he’s also slightly drunk. kissing a few girls here and there." Tara explained, you felt the world around you come to a halt.
"She joking. the dude could barely even walk up to a girl or ask her out." Mindy added, you sighed in relief and stood up.
"Thank you, guys." You said, his friends were rather cool. but you really had to get to know them first before befriending them.
Hm, the only place left to search was upstairs. you hurried and fastened your pace, getting through the crowd of sweaty and drunk people. it was weird how you managed to get upstairs but you did not want to go through the crowd again.
As you searched every room for ethan, you could hear what sounded like— moans? no, no, kissing. that’s what it sounded like.
What was this little dork up to again? if he could find a girl that likes him- that’d be the first time he ever got someone to date him.
But they said he was 'slightly' drunk. so what harm could it possibly be? you placed your hand on the doorknob and opened the door slightly.
Ethan pushed away the girl that was on top of him, "Sorry, sorry. I just don’t think I’m in the right mind to do any of that stuff right now—" the girl that he had pushed away rolled her eyes and walked out the room, brushing past you.
Don’t get it wrong, you would always come and help ethan if he needed anything. of course you would. but this? it’s a huge NO for you.
Ethan smiled, "heyyy." he said, dragging the 'y'. he tried standing up but could only find himself leaning against the wall for support.
"I was waiting for you, pretty thing." said ethan, he wasn’t that drunk. they were right, but you were extremely pissed.
Your hands balled into fist, "Are you..serious? you were supposed to come and study with me. not do this dumb shit, and you lied to me too? you told me you had econ. you said you weren’t going to a party with your friends." you stated, reminding him of what he told you over the phone.
"I was at econ. I swear." Ethan stuttered, you stood there with crossed arms, "you keep lying. this is the 10th lie you’ve told me. what is it ethan? why don’t you want me to hang out with your friends or meet them? why— why are you being so goddamn distant?" you questioned.
He didn’t answer and scratched the back of his neck nervously, "I just don’t want you to be around those type of people-" you cut him off.
"But you are? Ethan there’s more than what you’re telling me, isn’t it? you’re starting to change, man." You told him, Ethan frowned when those words came from your mouth.
"I-I’m sorry that I lied. there..there’s really not much more for me to say other than I’m sorry." Ethan replied, fiddling with his hands.
"Sorry? you think that���s going to cut it? Hell no! I come every night to see you just drunk. every single time. when you should be fucking studying with me and working with me! it wasn’t just assigned, I had to do all the work my goddamn self! it just goes to show how much you leave me out now. you’re slacking on a lot of shit. but guess what? I’m doing it alone now. all the shit I do I’m doing alone. alone." you said.
A sigh escaped from ethan’s mouth, he realized what it was now, "you’re just jealous. you’re mad that it’s not you who I’m kissing. isn’t that it?" he said.
a shocked expression came from you, did he really-?
"JEALOUS? How can I be jealous? Half of the time when I try to fit my schedule in for you, I do it because I want us to hang out! I could never be jealous of someone I’m friends with, I’m not on that type of shit! I’ve been there for you since day one. day-fucking-one. there’s always excuse coming from you! there’s no time for me, for us! It’s always them. you’ve seem to have grown very close to them as I see. but I’m the one always picking up after you. of course I’d do that for you! only you. but what I’m upset about? I’m upset that we rarely hang out anymore. It’s been four months, ethan. four months. but you’re so stuck up on your 'friends' that I have to deal with the fact that I can’t even talk to you anymore. not even that, it’s the fact you hardly care what I have to say anymore! you were supposed to be the shoulder i lean and cry on for support. but no, I can’t have that either. but I’d do it for you. even if you didn’t ask, does it look like I care? I’ll only leave out of your life when you ask me to! but you keep disappearing ethan, you only call me or text me when you need me! And I don’t want our friendship to be like whatever the hell this is! I want us to be able to confide in each other and be able to speak our minds to one another without any judgement. and we can’t even do that. what is it ethan? what happened to us? I’m so desperately trying to reach out to you and grasp onto you, to see what changed. what really happened to us..?" you said, the tears were now falling down your eyes.
Ethan wasn’t able to say anything, he stood there speechless and shocked. this is what you expected anyways. he didn’t know you felt like that.
"If you want me out of you’re life just say that. but don’t keep me in the dark, I’m so sick of what you think is right for me. I’m so tired of everyone telling me that! so I’m asking you, to end this friendship either now or I end it for the both of us myself." You told him.
Ethan felt tears running down his eyes, you were his ray of sunshine. his everything. but he didn’t want it to end here like this. you were the only thing keeping him sane and protected.
"Say it already, so we can end this. I’m tired of being left in the dark, I’ve already been through enough. don’t make it harder for me." You said, he could see the dark bags under your eyes and as well as the tired look in your (e/c) eyes.
"I am so sorry, I didn’t want you to feel like that. I’ve never wanted you to feel like that, that wasn’t even my intention- I swear. I’ve just…been busy with some things." Ethan told you, and that was the truth.
"If not then why do I feel like it now? you don’t care about me. I see it now, there’s probably someone else you like. you go kissing these girls just for fun but they don’t like you. I know the truth stings but that’s the truth. they’re only using you to get things off their minds. it’s like having a one night stand." You explained.
Ethan walked closer to you, now the two of you barely inches away from each other, noses almost touching.
"I know that. but lately I’ve only been having one thing on my mind." Ethan told you, cupping your cheek.
"I’m not gonna be some fling, and I’m not like every other girl and guy. if what I’m feeling is real, then it’s real." You told him.
Ethan smirked, "so do something about it." he said.
"Wha-What?" you replied, stuttering a bit from the reply he gave.
He pulled you closer, "I said do something about it, love." he repeated.
Tumblr media
"I expected you to kiss me and everything but not this." Ethan said, leaning against the window.
You stopped at a stop light, the music you were listening to earlier was now on low volume, you were bopping your head to the music while tapping at the steering wheel.
The song (< press it) you were playing was pretty nice actually and you’ve grown to love it ever since.
"You done drunk all you can drank~." You sung while tapping the steering while in rhythm to the beats, Ethan chuckled.
"I think that lyric is specifically aimed at me, isn’t it?" Ethan asked, you nodded in answer while paying attention to the road.
He groaned, "fuck, my head hurts. I think those Jello shots weren’t meant for me." he said.
"You think?" you added while still tapping at the steering wheel with the rhythm of the song, he placed his hand on your thigh.
"Thank you for knocking some sense into me back there, I really needed it." Ethan said, you shrugged.
"Like I said, I’d do anything for you. but now you have to be around me 24/7. catch up on the times we missed." You explained, Ethan nodded and yawned.
"m'gonna take a quick nap, tell me when we get there." Ethan said and turned away, he grabbed your jacket from the backseat and used it as a blanket.
You found yourself giggling at his actions, the red light eventually turned into a green light, you were almost near campus which was about 50 minutes away.
You really loved Ethan. you just hoped he would learn from this. cause like he said before: you were his ray of sunshine.
And he’d remember to cherish it this time.
Tumblr media
Eh, I could’ve done better but let me know if you’d like a part to or just to keep this as a single and only part of Ray of sunshine :)

OK OK I have no Idea which characters you write for 😭😭 BUT UHH could I request something about reader and Zantetsu having their first kiss?? PLEASE I love him so much 😭
Also I'm excited to see what stuff you're gonna write in general!!
✦ FIRST KISS
Tumblr media
Pairing(s): Zantetsu Tsurugi x gn!reader
Warning(s): Profanity aka swearing
Author Note: I went to the wiki for more info about him and saw that Zantetsu worse subject is everything💀hope ya enjoy it Mao✨️
Tumblr media
"Tetsu..how? How are you failing at every subjects?!" [Name] wasn't mad maybe slightly disappointed, they were more suprised? Flabbergasted? Their eyes scanned through all of Zantetsu past tests- math, science, English, and literature and etc.
"I did not fail! I passed all of them!!" Zantetsu tried to defend himself but that didn't work. "YEA- BARELY!!"
"Still.." He avoided the look that [Name] was giving him, knowing if he said anything else he would get shut down instantly. [Name] could only sigh, "Okay let's review the last test ya did," they took a test out of the pile of papers, "ok you got the first question correct- lemme see what you got wrong."
On the third question, a big cross written with red pen could be seen. "Fill in the correct answer from the passage, using appropriate language."
"...ah.." [Name] couldn't believe the bullshit they were seeing right now, "seriously tetsu?! Your answer for this is, 'Have more guts, Tadashi!' - IT SAID GET THE CORRECT ANSWER FROM THE PASSAGE MAN?! YOU CAN'T JUST MAKE YOUR OWN ANSWERS!!"
"Yeah...but in the passage Tadashi was being a pus-" "TETSU!!" [Name] cried in vain, they didn't know how long they can last trying to teach Zantetsu.
Sometimes [Name] wonder why they agreed to tutor him, looking at the football player whos complaining, wanting a break from studying. "It's only been 10 minutes Tetsu.."
Oh boy, this is going to be a long day..
Finals have passes and now the report card is out. The weeks tutoring Zantetsu was exhausting and torturous- atleast they didn't have to go through that again..hopefully.
"[NAME]!!" Zantetsu yelled making them to look at the direction of him. He was waving like a mad man- holding a envelope. "Didja open your report card yet??"
"Nahh, I thought of opening it at home," [Name] replied, "why?" Zantetsu was out of breath from the running, its as if he ran around the whole campus. "Well..I was hoping to open the report cards together!!" Zantetsu suggested, his eyes staring right through their soul.
"Fine.." they reluctantly agreed, 'geez he seems pretty determined..but for what?'
They both opened the envelope- revealing their report cards. [Name] got an above average grade for their total average. While the person beside them was slowly opening his report card.
"I GOT A 77% ON MY TOTAL AVERAGE!!" Zantetsu exclaimed with such excitement. He looked at them with eager eyes and cupped their face with his hands. Before they could respond his lips were on theirs- it almost feel unreal.
[Name] was slowly processing everything, 'huh?...huh..??HUH?!'
"WHATWASTHATFOR?!!" [Name] muttered out loud, their face getting hot every second. They wanted to say something but couldn't get any coherent word out.
"Huh?" His tilted his head with a dumbfounded look, "don't ya remember two weeks ago? The thing you told me??"
The realisation quickly sets in and they instantly understood what he was referring too.
...
"If your total average is above 70%- I will let you kiss me as a award~" [Name] teased, they were joking of course but a part of them weren't.
But they didn't know he would take it seriously!! That was their first kiss too! Stupid Zantetsu with his stupid cute smile..shit they can't even be mad at him- they did say he could kiss them as a award.
The proud look on his face was very evident, Zantetsu have been studying hard to get that kiss! His hard work finally paid off.
Zantetsu was in a state of victory while his crush is flustered as fuck- trying to keep themselves calm.
Atleast the weeks of suffering was worth it in the end.

~My Thoughts on Wonderful Pretty Cure: Episodes 31-35~
~~~🎀~~~🎀~~~🎀~~~
Tumblr media
~~~🎀~~~🎀~~~🎀~~~
Episode 31 - Nyanfluencer Mayu:
This episode was really sweet!
I feel like Mayu’s backstory about her friend kind of came out of nowhere in previous episodes. However, it makes me feel better about it now that they’ve talked more about it.
Chiran is very similar to Mayu. Almost to the point where’s there’s no difference between them. So I wish they added more traits to her. But she was okay! I really liked her chinchilla too.
It was very sweet when they both apologized to each other, and finally made up. I also loved how Yuki was watching the whole time. She really cares about Mayu a lot.
Also, we finally got more content of babygirl Zakuro! She’s so beautiful and sassy. That’s pretty much my type when it comes to Precure villains.
My Rating for This Episode:
6/10 - D-
~~~~
Episode 32 - Favorite Animal at the Zoo:
When I tell you I squealed when I saw Sora on screen, I’m not joking.
My babies are back! I was so happy! I wanted to cry when I saw Tsubasa. I missed that boy so much! We also got a short shot of the Witchy girls. I’m a bit disappointed that we didn’t get any dialogue, but whatever.
We got even more Zakuro, so I’m happy. You can probably tell she’s my favorite villain.
Lastly, I was pretty disappointed that none of the other Pretty Cure helped out the Wonderful team in battle. I was really hoping they would. But what can you do? I’m still happy we got to see them!
My Rating for This Episode:
7/10 - C-
~~~~
Episode 33 - Full Animal Smile
I don’t have much to say about this episode at all.
It’s just more filler. But I did enjoy seeing more of Iroha’s hot dad- I MEAN-
But yeah. That’s all I have to say.
My Rating for This Episode:
2/10 - F
~~~~
Episode 34 - Cat, Cat, Cat Meeting:
This was a nice, Yuki focused episode!
I feel like she definitely feels some jealousy when it comes to Mayu’s dad. Which, by the way, why is everyone’s dad’s so hot in this anime? Lemme see Satoru’s dad next…
The cat meeting was super cute. I’ve never seen one in real life. I don’t live in an area with a lot of stray/outdoor cats. But I wish I could see one! I think Yuki’s definitely gonna keep participating from now on.
I enjoyed seeing Zakuro interact with the cats. Or, try to. It shows that she’s not all cruel, and that she really does care for all animals. Too bad they did not like her back though.
Lastly, I just wanna know who on Earth came up with the idea for the Kirarin Fox’s power? I can’t take it seriously at all. I mean, I just watched a giant cat toy with Cure Nyammy’s face on it for like two whole minutes.
My Rating for This Episode:
8/10 - B-
~~~~
Episode 35 - Operation: Satoru’s Love Confession
I was so excited for this episode. But it didn’t exactly play out how I wanted.
I fully expected that Satoru and Iroha wouldn’t get together in this episode. I didn’t even expect for the confession to happen at all. And it almost didn’t! Thanks for the save Mey Mey!
To be honest, I’m hoping for Satoru and Iroha to get together more than I’m hoping for Satoru to become a Cure. That probably sounds crazy. But we already got our first boy Cure. I want a canon, healthy relationship with no weird age gap! And Satoru and Iroha would look so cute together!
I’m both excited and scared for next episode. I’m glad they’re not gonna brush this under the rug, and that it’s going to be the focus of the episode. But it’s not clear how Iroha feels. She looks worried or confused. I just hope everything will turn out okay!
My Rating for This Episode:
8/10 - B-
~~~~
Overall Score for These Episodes:
62% - D-

Make Me Melt 
Ty Shaw x reader
Author’s Note: Look this is short, I know. BUt there is nothing, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, for this man and I have to change that damnit! He deserves better, this sweet angel baby! I hope you enjoy! 
As always, reader is supposed to be gn+vague, so if you catch any mistakes related to that please let me know.
Words: 0.7k  
Warnings: pet names (baby, darlin’, and sweetheart); mention of cotton candy; the fair; earrings, but could be read as clip-ons or the pierced kind (and even then the type of earring isn’t specified); fluff, like too much. I think that’s all. 
Summary: A little sweet moment between reader and Ty while they’re on a date at the fair.
Check out my other stuff :)
———————————
Tumblr media
“Oh, look!” You grab Ty’s hand and start tugging him along, “C’mon, c'mon!”
He chuckles as you somewhat manhandle him to the booth with handcrafted jewelry. He seriously can’t get over how excited you are—how excited you’ve been all day, honestly. When he had first suggested going to the annual fair for a date, he hadn’t expected you to jump at the idea. And even then he had wrongfully assumed you two would mostly walk around, enjoying the colors and sounds and smells, and the joy radiating throughout the place. Maybe go on the ferris wheel, let him win some stuffed animal for you.
But oh boy, was he way off! If he had been any less enamored with you, he’d probably complain about his hand cramping from how tight you’d squeeze it in excitement. You had nearly bounced in your seat the whole way to the fair since he picked you up; and then squealed every time you saw something you wanted to check out. And to think that you hadn’t even made it to the cotton candy stall yet…
“Ooh. These are so beautiful!” Ty zones out as you converse with the girl manning the stall. He can’t take his eyes off you. The pure joy vibrating off of your body is enough to fill the place single-handedly. He finds the lights and colors reflecting in your wide eyes more beautiful than the actual thing. For the hundredth time that day, Ty asks himself, how did I get so lucky?
He zones back in when you let his hand go to pick up two earrings, one on the daintier side, and the other chunkier.
You hold each one up to your ears and look in the small mirror attached to the stall. “Hmm, they’re both so pretty. I don’t know,” you blink at your reflection. Turning to your boyfriend, you ask him what he thinks.
Ty’s first reaction is to giggle at how serious you look, but then he schools his expression into a faux serious one, with his lips pouting and brows furrowed. He lightly pinches your chin between his thumb and index finger, turning your face this way and that, as he hums. “I like this pair,” he indicates the ones in your right hand.
“Yeah?”
“Uh-huh. Frames your face better,” he gives a too-serious nod.
You laugh and pivot back to the girl, handing over the pair he had picked out and putting the other one back. “How much?” you ask as you look down into your tote bag for your wallet. However, when you turn to hand over the money, you notice Ty having paid already.
When you whine out his name, he chuckles and replies with: “Lemme treat ya, baby.”
And god, does the way he says “baby” melt your insides.
Ty throws an arm around your shoulders as you both move on from the booth. You’re still admiring your newest purchase when you feel your boyfriend tug you to a stop. Looking up with a curious expression, you’re met with his brilliant smile.
“Well? C’mon, put ‘em on!”
You smile, a bit bemused, and shrug your shoulders up, “What, now?” He nods in response. You laugh a little as you reply, “Ty, I might need a mirror—”
Before you’re even finished with your sentence, he says, “‘s okay, you got me, darlin’,” like it’s the most obvious thing in the world.
Your hands, which had been holding up the earrings, fall down to your sides and your shoulders shag, mouth falling open slightly. His words melting you right into a puddle. You lean into him, hiding your face against him, and you whine out his name again, “You can’t just say things like that to me!”
His chuckle vibrates through his chest as he envelopes your shoulders underneath his arms, one hand cupping the back of your head and pulling you tighter into him. “Why not, baby?”
“Because you turn me into goo!” Your hands fist his shirt by his hips and tug him closer. “Stop making me fall deeper in love with you, Tyler!”
You feel his warm breath against your head as he nuzzles you, “No can do, sweetheart.”

Okay I need to ask... what the hell is 💊💒💊The Ecstasy of our Virgin Mother Saint Mandy 💊💒💊 ???
*Rafiki voice* : It is time.
*CUE VIOLENT KAZOO MUSIC*
Tumblr media
The Ecstasy of Our Virgin Mother Saint Mandy is my Eldritch baby, a grotesque abomination, and my first attempt at writing anything seriously. I will not say much as I’m hoping to post it by the end of November, but I will say It's a Mello/Near fanfic analyzing their relationship from wammy's till Kira's death. I will also say that if you plan to read it, prepare to be abandoned and forsaken by God just as these orphans have.
Enjoy the opening under the cut and don't be shy lemme know what you think even if you hate it I guess lolll💒
As so the old proverb goes…
“For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of the shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the message was lost.
For want of a message the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a nail.”
_________________________________________
Proverbially enough, all his life, Near has wanted for nothing. It's not that he’s never been hungry or in need but rather he is simply content without. Near can do without. Hunger is a need, it's biological; but want— want is a desire, a want is a wish and wishes to Near are nothing but storybook nonsense and consequently a waste of time.
Wanting is a choice, a choice that unavoidably leads to demise. Want breeds attachment, attachment breeds love and with love comes blindness,weakness, and vulnerability. All things Near would happily rather choose to live without. 
If wanting is a choice and if Near ever had a choice in anything at all, Near would—
Well, …quite frankly, Near would rather choose to starve and die.
But Near never had a choice; —in any of this. Which is fine because Near knows how to do without.
Near can do without choices. He can do without hobbies and interests. He can do without having dreams or true aspirations. Near can do without having friends or family. He can do without comforting conversations and the warmth of someone’s company. He can do without knowing what his mother’s embrace would feel like, without knowing what they might have had in common, —without knowing if she ever loved him. 
Near can do without love. Near doesnt want love. He doesn't want any of these things because none of these things make a good detective and Near is a rational person and there is no rationality in wanting what you can’t have. 
It’s sound enough logic Near thinks, it's just unfortunate that sound logic does nothing to combat the irony of the number one person on top of the ‘Things Near Can Never Have’ list, was blessed with the God given hands of a virtuoso that liked to thrum and pluck the delicate, nylon, thin, threaded cords holding together all the seraphim-disguised boy’s principles of logic and sanity.
 Mello never needed the permission of logic. Mello has never had a problem doing whatever he wants and while it's always elusive what the blonde boy really wants, the sadistic musician nonetheless plays him like a theremin. Without even touching him he seizes control of the humming neurons inside the young orphan’s brain, commanding full attention just being in the room and sends Near’s brain humming. conducting and coercing out Philharmonic Orchestra grade symphonies that drown out all sound of rational thought. 
But what’s far worse however is when those sunlight kissed hands do touch his moonlight cursed body, they play him as steady, knowing, fingers on harp strings do. He plays him patiently and determined, until the poisoning devotion in every bite and bruise and kiss has Near gasping and writhing, singing out of key like a small wounded animal in the woods, bleeding to death in the middle of the night. 
He plays him until his heartbeat is a loud ticking metronome, until he forgets he’s breathing on his own. He plays with him until all forty seven harp strings of Near’s self restraint snap from the tension. He plays with him until he breaks. 
If he was truly a rational person he would push Mello away. He would stop. He should stop. He needs to stop…
He feebly clutches at the rosary around the older boy’s neck out of instinct and pulls him down closer for another desperate kiss instead. Near quietly reminds himself he wants for nothing.

Seren's Studies: Odd Squad UK -- "Oddtober the Thirteenth" Episode Followup, Part 2
Tumblr media
It Takes Oddtober to Make the Thirteenth Go Right...or something. Mashing up titles is hard.
Let's continue below the break!
Tumblr media
Oh God, these three villains' streaming recommendations must be off the fucking charts.
Tumblr media
"She needs a hobby," says the man who wants to go sightseeing across the country in the span of a day and is probably so anti-streaming it hurts.
Tumblr media
*claps four times* THASS' IT. THASS' TH' BITCH. THERE IT IS. WE GET A WHOLE GROUP OF SLEEP RIGHT HERE. THE WHOLE 'FECTA. THE WHOLE FIVE-FECTA.
Ahhhh Omar...keep playin' your classic one-hit wonder. At this rate if there's a Season 2/Season 5 and they bring him back we'll get a UK version of "In Your Dreams" and oh God I just made myself sick even thinking about that.
Tumblr media
Cinema etiquette, this girl does not have.
Tumblr media
I can't exactly say that this is a movie that was cobbled together in the span of a few minutes, because that's horseshit...but this is a movie not even Netflix would have in its own bargain bin.
Tumblr media
*low groan through gritted teeth*
I kinda knew this was coming, but they had a chance to do a lobotomy on Opie while she was snoring away just before.
Tumblr media
Ha...aha...heh...THAT'S WHERE THIS CLIP COMES FROM?????
God, my guess was way the fuck off.
Tumblr media
Captain O has a chance to do the funniest thing, but she won't, because this episode won't go that far and she's not as fueled by anger as Oprah was.
This stupidity is crazy irritating, and I hate it, and it kills any momentum I would have had for this rip of an episode.
Tumblr media
"Should we be in here?"
"Yes! No. No wait, yes! We're main characters, remember?"
"Oh...right."
Tumblr media
draws the line at safety clothing
but...not at framed chessboards
You fucking hypocrite.
Tumblr media
No, seriously, what stick up her ass does Orli have in this episode that she's going after every villain's jugulars for their likes? Not even Olympia, Otis and Oprah did that! I mean...they thought the ambassadors' likes were weird, but...they didn't outright insult them.
Omar, stop writing self-aware shit and just stick to your cry-for-help sleeping schtick. There are better ways to write Orli as being self-aware.
Tumblr media
*long long sigh*
No, Omar, giving Opie karma by way of taking away her picnic blanket and using it as a gift is not viable either. She needs much bigger karma than that.
Tumblr media
I see Orli's been hanging around Onom long enough to know The Art of the Lung-Bursting Gasp.
Tumblr media
*deep inhale*
I just...fuck's sake, Opie, just say yes. Better yet, Ozzie, snatch it from her damn hands and book it.
Tumblr media
Once again, lemme reiterate: they could just as easily lie and say they hate it.
But of course now is the end of the episode, so that's...not really possible. Gotta wrap shit up somehow.
Tumblr media
Okay, this bit isn't funny. It was never funny. Repeating it over and over doesn't make it funny.
Tumblr media
Yeeeeeah, happy Oddtober the Thirteenth!
Now go watch the original Oddtober episodes from 2015 and actually enjoy yourselves with much better content.
Tumblr media
And your credits for this episode. I actually got Fluorescent Florie's name right, which I definitely wasn't expecting.
--------------------------------------------
Overall...yeah...you can kinda see where this is going, huh? Blah blah "It Takes Goo" rip, blah blah it did this far better. To be fair, though, that episode did it first and did it far better. No stupidity that sends me into a blinding-white-hot rage, we actually get a little bit of lore, and we get an Oprah laugh that is so pure and innocent I can't help but smile. Oh yeah, and the whole...goo thing at the end...the innuendo...yeah. There's no innuendos found here, just the tainting of a punny name that was already used for something better 9 years ago and a complete and utter rip of a better episode that's one of the most blatant rips of the entire season. Like, "The B Team" levels of rip. And I hated my father "The B Team".
Load it into the cannon, fire it into the sun, and I'll see y'all for "Agent Overhill's Last Day" in (hopefully) a few days. Villain X be damned, I don't think I'll enjoy that one either.
Seren out!

About the AU
So what is Warrior Cats x Kingdom Hearts AU is about?
Well its about Kingdom Hearts but the characters are kitties, following the sames rules as in Warrior Cats such as clans, warrior code, starclan, etc... Why? Idk I love both universe so much so I decided to mix both!
Just a little reminder; this AU uses my OCs, so its kinda an AU of an AU? But it's not driving too far from the games, except that KH4 don't exist in the AU (at least for now)
Also there will be some; canon x canon, oc x canon and oc x oc ships, so don't even complain about that, you have been warned. If you have any problems with it, keep it to yourself.
!!Besides some warnings!!: This AU is pretty much realistic injuries wise, such as death, blood etc... If you're familiar with Warrior Cats you know they don't spare gruesome details about character's death. *ahem* Tigerstar *ahem*
So if you're pretty much sensible to this I'll be using the tags: #blood, #gore or #death, so make sure to block it in your settings! :)
It should be all you need to know ig, rules for submissions/ask box and characters designs are under the cut!
Have a great time on this blog! I hope you'll enjoy it! :DD
~Submissions and ask box rules~
Be respectful, this is the primordial rule.
Do not submit nor ask NSFW stuff, theses are cats. Weirdo.
No out of AU shipping, except if it's characters that don't have any have fun on this one.
Do not cry because X isnt shipped with X or is shipped with X.
NO proshipping stuff, Imma spare you searching this (inc€st, p€d0philia, @_buse). Forbidden relationship doesn't count (Medecine cat having mate, half-clan relation, etc).
I'm pretty much open on jokes don't worry, I can differenciate a joke from sarcasm and seriousness.
I don't mind headcanons, just don't be wild with that.
I'm ok with designs alteration when doing fanart! :))
Fanarts will be tagged with #fanart.
Fanfics will be tagged with #fanfics.
Ask will be tagged with #ask[character] or #ask if it's for me.
Asking my friend's OCs will be allowed if she's okay with it, such as fanarts but not fanfics, I'm not sure she will be comfortable with that.
~General rules~
Don't steal the AU and claiming it as yours (designs, story and OCs), I'll find your adress and drop a piano on your head.
You can @ this account when doing fanart that you posted on your blog so I can reblog it! :D If you don't want to @ please at least make sure to credit me.
Don't kin my OCs nor my friend's, that make us hella uncomfortable.
You can use the designs if you want, but please make sure to credit me!
If you have some concerns or anything else don't be afraid to contact me.
~Designs list~
None made atm, working on it!
Idk if I should make a google sheet to list them or doing a big ass list here... idk. Lemme know.
I wish I could post them on Toyhouse so I could just post all art and more infos on them, but I've tried and they don't want bc they keep deleting them :sob: idk how to pass their radar. :(

Tumblr media
A/N: Chapter 5!!!! Guys, lemme tell you, I changed the events of this chapter soooooo much. Honestly, I’ve made a lot of changes to the chapters, I’ll probably be writing out some extra drabbles and scenes later on that didn’t end up in the main story, ngl. But for now, the story continues!!! I will say, the smut in this chapter was totally unplanned. At first, I didn’t want to cause I already have smut planned for both chapters 7 and 8, but this scene wasn’t that long and I figured you guys wouldn’t complain much, lmaooooo. Anyways, this chapter is pretty fun, I hope you enjoy it!!!
Pairing(s): Tristan x Lancelot, slight Nasiens x Percy
Summary: Lance’s friend group likes to spend the occasional weekend at Percy’s grandpa’s beach house over in west Britannia and this time around, they invite Tristan and his friends to come along.

"Percy!! We need to figure out room assignments, everyone else is gonna be here soon!!"
"Hey, does anyone know what we're gonna do for dinner?"
"Somebody better plan on restocking the pudding while we're here."
"Why don't you just do it yourself, Gawain?"
"Lance, do you think there's enough left in the kitchen for you to whip something up for everybody?"
Lance shakes his head, chuckling to himself as he sets his bag on the floor by the hallway leading to the bedrooms and heads towards the kitchen. He'd missed his friends and all the chaos that came with them. "Lemme take some stock in here and I'll see what I can do, Anne." He tells the bluette standing in the middle of the kitchen, hands on her hips.
"Oh, good. I hope there's enough, I really don't feel like going out in public again today." She admits.
"Rough week?" He questions.
"You have no idea." She groans. "I seriously needed this weekend away. Plus, it's been awhile since we've all gotten together here, I've missed it." She sighs.
Lance nods, walking over to the fridge and opening it up. "Definitely." He agrees. He grimaces at the near empty fridge and opens up the freezer instead, looking over the items inside thoughtfully. "Hey, can you look and see if there's any flour and baking powder in the cupboards?" He asks Anne over his shoulder.
He hears her move to look as he pulls out a package of frozen sausage and tosses it onto the counter, closing the freezer back up as well. "Full bag of flour and half a tin of baking powder. Little bit of sugar in here, too." She informs him.
"Alright, cool. I think I got something in mind." He says, pulling out his phone as he leans against the counter. Just gotta see if Tris is willing to make a pit stop.
'Hey, how far out are you guys?'
'About 10 min'
'Do you think you'd be willing to do me a favor?'
'Does that mean you'd "owe me one" afterwards?'
'Why of course'
'Alright, fine, what is it?'
'Stop by a store and grab some milk and butter, pretty please? Doesn't matter what kind or brand'
'Ugh, okay. Only cause I like you so much ;D'
'Thank youuuuuu. I'll make it up to you, promise'
'Oh, I know you will'
Lance snorts, pocketing his phone and looking up to find Anne staring at him with a smirk. "You talking to your new friend?"
He rolls his eyes playfully. "They'll all be here in about 15 minutes or so." He informs her. "Once they get here, I'll have everything I need to start on dinner."
"Great!" She exclaims. "In the meantime, we should probably make sure that the idiots out there haven't made a mess of things already." She points her thumb over her shoulder and in the direction of the living room before turning around and walking that way. Lance shrugs and follows her, having nothing better to do while he waits.
~*~
Seventeen minutes later, Lance is in the process of defrosting the sausage when he hears exclaims from the living room. "Hey, uh, Lance?" Donny calls.
Lance walks into the living room, eyebrow raised. "Yeah...? What's up?" He questions.
"What the hell are Tristan Liones and Isolde Connors doing walking up to the house!?" He exclaims, half panicked.
Anne gasps. "Isolde is here!?"
"Oh, they finally got here, then." Lance says, a smile spreading over his face as he tries not to seem too excited.
"Oh? "Oh"?? That's all!?"
Lance doesn't answer Donny, instead walking closer to the clear glass wall making up the front of the house and watching as four people come up the stone steps. He spots Isolde and Tristan at the front and two men behind them that he doesn't recognize. He doesn't pay much attention to them, his eyes going back to Tristan almost immediately. It's only been about a day and a half since they'd last seen each other, but Lance was excited to see him all the same. In the past week, they'd spent the night together three more times and gone on two dates. They texted everyday and called sometimes, too. Lance didn't think it was even possible to be so attached to someone after so little amount of time, but the proof is right there in front of him that definitely was. He's been wearing a smile all week and all he can think about half the time is when he'll see the man again.
He's found out so much about the prince of Liones since that first night. He now knows that Tristan's favorite color is yellow and his favorite baked good is cinnamon rolls. His OCD was first diagnosed when he was 9, his Bipolar Disorder was diagnosed when he was 15. He'd had one girlfriend and two boyfriends in the past, all before him and Isolde were revealed to be dating to the public at age 19. When he was a kid, he'd had a dog named Monspeet that was first given to him by his Uncle Zeldris and Aunt Gelda, and the dog passed away when he was 17. He currently only models men's clothing, but he's considered asking to try out some women's clothing as well. Not only does he wear lip gloss, but sometimes more than that. He loves everything to do with the beauty and fashion industry and hopes to one day start his very own line of makeup and beauty products. He's obsessed with space and stars, has been for as long as he can remember. He has a deep passion for learning new things, becoming fascinated whenever he finds out a new fact he'd never known before. Whenever he comes to Lance's apartment, he has a new question about the plants he's growing and the crystals Lance keeps around his living space. Lance happily answers each one.
And so, when Percy calls him up and tells him that he wants to get the gang together for the weekend at his grandpa's beach house, the question of bringing Tristan along tumbled from his mouth before he'd even realized what it was. Percy, of course, said he could, and mentioned that he could bring a few friends along with him since the house was so big. Percy's grandpa's beach house has 8 bedrooms total and with their usual group there, only 4 of the bedrooms are taken, leaving the other 4 completely vacant. Tristan immediately agreed, saying he was sure his three best friends would love to come. One of which is, of course, Isolde, and if Lance remembers correctly, the other two are Jade and Chion.
Lance never told Donny, Anne, or Gawain about him and Tristan. They only know that he invited someone who he's getting close to, which they know in translation to mean dating. He technically didn't tell Nasiens directly, either, but he's certain that Percy told him who he was inviting and the both of them already know a little bit about him and Tristan anyways since they'd caught the two men making out back at the club a week earlier. It's just now that Lance realizes there's something else he's never told them. Tristan is the first guy he's ever dated, and he's never really tried to dig too deep into his own sexuality in the past. He's been attracted to plenty of guys, he's just never acted on any of it. So, given all of that, not only is Donny freaked out by the literal celebrities walking up, he's probably also extremely confused. Anne would most likely be just as confused if she wasn't so happy about Isolde being here. Oh, well. They'll adjust.
Lance walks over to the front door, opening it up as the group of four reaches it and holding it open. Percy comes rushing into the room and stops beside Lance. "Hey, everyone! Glad you all got here okay!" He greets cheerfully.
"Oh, Percy, right? It's wonderful to see you again!" Tristan exclaims with just as much cheer. "These are my friends, Isolde, Chion, and Jade." He points to each one as he introduces them.
"Great!!" Percy shakes hands with each of the newcomers, waving the rest of Lance's friends over. "This is Anne, Donny, Gawain, and my boyfriend, Nasiens! And-" Anne barrels into Isolde with a squeal, interrupting Percy.
"Anne!? I didn't know you'd be here!!" She exclaims as the two embrace quickly before pulling back.
Percy smiles at the two before continuing. "And then there's Lance, of course!"
Lance steps back into view after closing the front door and locking it, sending a wave at the new people in the room. "Hey, guys." He says casually.
Before anyone else can answer, Tristan comes right up to him and plants a kiss on his lips. Lance immediately wraps his arms around the silverette and returns the kiss without hesitation. He hears a choked gasp and a "What!?" from his group of friends and he internally snickers. Tristan pulls away slightly, giving him an amused smirk. "I got you your stupid butter and milk." He whispers, his arm coming up to show the grocery bag he's holding in one hand.
"Well, thank you very much, your majesty. I appreciate the hard work you put in, in order to do so." He whispers back, taking the bag from him. "Now I can make dinner." He says in a normal volume this time.
Tristan gasps dramatically, placing a hand over his heart. "Am I finally getting to taste the Lancelot Antin's cooking?"
"Oh, don't get too cheeky now, maybe I'll change my mind." Lance quips.
The prince narrows his eyes at him. "You wouldn't."
Lance sighs. "You're right, I wouldn't. Only cause Anne would kill me if I made us go out for something, though." He points his thumb at the bluette.
"Damn right." Anne grumbles, arms crossing over her chest.
"Huh. Good to know." Tristan has a mischievous glint in his eye as he turns away from Lance. Lance just shakes his head, chuckling at the prince's antics.
Tristan starts introducing himself to the rest of Lance's friends and people start to mingle, so Lance takes the milk and butter into the kitchen, putting them away for now. He then finishes his process of defrosting the sausage and then sets it aside for the moment. He then gets out the flour, baking powder and sugar, setting them on the counter as he gathers up other things he'll need.
A few minutes later, he's just starting to flatten the biscuit dough he made when arms wrap around him from behind. "That's kinda hot, you showing off all your muscles like that. Definitely a view I could get used to." Tristan comments.
Lance snorts. "Is that so?" He asks, folding the dough over and then flattening it down with his palms.
"Mm-hm." The silverette nuzzles his face against the man's back and Lance feels butterflies take flight in his stomach at the simple affection. "Your friends seem really fun and this house is gorgeous. Thank you for inviting us." Tristan says sincerely.
Lance stops what he's doing for a moment to place his hands over Tristan's on his waist. "Of course. A lot of good memories have been made here, I'm glad I can add some with you to the mix." He admits.
Tristan doesn't reply, but his hands start to tremble slightly in his grasp. He's about to question why, growing concerned with the man's silence, but then Tristan just tightens his arms, hugging Lance tighter, and buries his face in his back, humming softly. Lance smiles softly and squeezes his hands before focusing back on the biscuit dough in front of him.
~*~
"Dinner's ready!!" Gawain swats a spatula against the living room doorway multiple times to get people's attention.
Lance shakes his head at her with a chuckle as he passes another full plate of food to the pinkette beside him. Isolde has insisted on helping him every opportunity she gets, including taking food from the kitchen to the dining room. Lance had an inkling that she was trying to get him to like her, which was confirmed when Tristan whispered to him to just go with it. Truth is, he has no problems with her. Tristan already explained to him that she doesn't see him in a romantic way and that they're just friends and nothing more, that Isolde is glad their arrangement is over now. And Lance believes them both, he has no reason not to. Not only does he trust Tristan's word, he trusts Anne's as well, and Isolde is a really close friend of Anne's. And so, he lets her do her thing, not like he's complaining about the help.
Lance passes the last plate to Isolde before making sure all the burners are turned off and putting all the dishes he'd used into the sink. He'd made biscuits and gravy. It was simple and about the only thing he could've made with what they had. He'll go out and do some grocery shopping tomorrow morning, making sure there's some good freezer stuff stocked up for next time they come.
"Hey, do you know where the corkscrew is?" Donny asks him as he walks in, heading straight for the wine cart. Which was completely empty save for the wine and champagne glasses on it.
"Yeah, right here." Lance says, grabbing it out of a nearby drawer. "Whatcha need it for?" He asks curiously.
The redhead starts gathering champagne glasses, sending a wide grin Lance's way. "You're boyfriend brought us the wonderful gift of alcohol!" Lance chokes at the title Donny gave Tristan. Boyfriend. Lucky for him, Donny isn't paying much attention as he tries his best to balance all ten champagne glasses. "Hey, think you could bring that in yourself?"
"Y-yeah, I got it." Lance coughs. Donny then walks through and into the dining room, leaving him alone in the kitchen.
He'd be lying if he said he hasn't considered the title at least once. He has. Just yesterday, in fact. But...is it too soon? They've known each other for 8 months, but they've only been dating for a week. One single week that's been incredible. And when he imagines giving that kind of title to Tristan, and Tristan giving that same title to him in return, it just feels right. So maybe it isn't too soon for Lance, but what if it is too soon for Tristan? He just isn't quite sure what the right move here is yet.
He shakes his head to clear his thoughts and leaves the kitchen, finding that he's the last one to enter the dining room. There's a spot open for him right in between Tristan and Tristan's friend, Chion. The purple-haired man has eyes on him as soon as he enters the room, scrutinising his every move as he walks over to the empty chair. Lance just tries his best to ignore the distrust radiating from the man as he takes his seat. Tristan is currently chatting animatedly with the green-haired man on the other side of him. Lance smiles softly at seeing the two getting along so well.
"Alright! Who wants a drink?" Donny calls, drawing everyone's attention as he picks up the corkscrew that Lance had set on the table.
"Please be careful, Donny." Nasiens pleads.
"Don't worry, I got it." Donny waves him off.
"Yeah, don't worry, Nasiens. Donny learned his lesson from last time, when Anne damn-near beat the shit outta him." Lance teases the man, Gawain, Anne, Nasiens, and Percy snickering at the comment.
"Oh?" Jade raises an eyebrow in amusement and curiosity.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever." Donny grumbles, pushing the screw into the top of the champagne bottle and pointing the bottle in the direction of the kitchen, holding it close to the doorway. Everyone in the room winces at the loud pop as the bottle is opened. Donny then proceeds to fill everyone's glasses halfway, setting the bottle in the middle of the table and sitting back down.
"Oh! Does this mean we can do a toast?" Isolde says from her spot between Anne and Gawain.
"You should do one." Gawain suggests, elbow on the table and her head resting on her chin as she appears to admire Isolde, a look on her face that Lance hasn't seen in years. Well, that's new. Lance makes a note to keep an eye on that.
"Oh, well," Isolde looks around the table, receiving encouraging looks from everyone. "Well, I guess we should toast to new friends. I think I speak for all of my friends here when I say that we're very hopeful for the rest of the weekend. You all seem so wonderful already and this whole place is beautiful. So, thank you." She finishes speaking with a shy smile, tucking a lock of hair behind her ear.
"Cheers!" Tristan exclaims, reaching his glass out to clink against hers and then everyone else's as they all do the same.
From there, everyone begins to eat and dinner is anything but quiet. Everyone's chatting and having fun, though Chion seemed a bit uneasy the whole time. Halfway through dinner, Tristan's hand grabs his under the table and Lance intertwines their fingers together. Tristan turns and beams at him, bringing their hands up to his lips and kisses the back of Lance's. Lance then proceeds to look away and act as if the blush growing on his face isn't there as he continues eating, swearing he hears the prince snicker quietly beside him.
~*~
The next day, almost everyone sleeps in, unsurprisingly, and that includes Tristan. Something else Lance has learned about the man is that when he doesn't have anything to do the next day, he really likes to enjoy his sleep. Lance went and got groceries early on, returning with breakfast for everyone, though it ended up being more like lunch for a lot of them. And then it was collectively decided that they would all head down to the beach, as one does when staying at a beach house.
"So, you remember how you owe me one, right?" Tristan comes up to him and crouches down, his hands resting on his knee and his chin resting on his hands.
"Of course I remember. Why?" Lance asks from his place in the sand, leaning back on his hands and his legs stretched out in front of him to allow the water to run over them. His fingers tap against the sand as he stares back at the silver-haired man. 
Tristan gives him a shy smile. "I think I know what I want you to do."
He tilts his head at him. "Really? Ready to cash in already?" He jokes and Tristan giggles, nodding his head. "Well, what is it, then?"
The prince bites his lip, his body doing a small wiggle motion that Lance finds extremely cute. "Be my boyfriend?" He asks quietly.
Lance's breath hitches and he stares into his eyes, searching them for any hint of joking. All he saw was a mixture of anxiety, hope, and affection. "Is that all? Cause if that's the case, then you really don't need to use your favor to get me to say yes." He says, sitting up and reaching out to grab one of Tristan's hands in his. "I was plannin' on askin' you the same question already." He tells him.
Tristan's eyes light up. "So, is that a "yes", then?" He asks.
"Yes, your majesty, I will happily be your boyfriend." Lance grins at him, the sentence making his heart soar.
Tristan squeals slightly, jumping at him and tackling him into the sand, giving him a kiss that takes his breath away. Lance laughs against his lips and wraps his arms around the shorter man's waist, kissing him back with just as much enthusiasm. The silverette holds the blonde's face with both hands and deepens the kiss, swiping his tongue over the other man's bottom lip. Lance accepts him, delving into his mouth and sucking on his tongue, drawing a moan out of the prince.
He pulls back and looks down at Lance. "I think I need a shower. Come help me clean up?" He asks coyly.
"Sounds like a good idea to me." Lance whispers. Tristan climbs off of him and stands up, Lance following suit, and Tristan grabs his hand, intertwining their fingers as he leads them back up to the beach house, leaving everyone else to their own fun.
The two of them quickly make their way to their shared bedroom for the weekend, going straight to the connected bathroom. Tristan turns on the shower and adjusts the temperature as Lance goes up behind him, planting kisses down his bare back as he reaches for the waistband of the silverette's swim trunks and pulls them down, sucking and nipping until a mark is left at the base of his spine. He stands back up as Tristan turns around, stepping out of the trunks pooled at his ankles and running his hands down Lance's sides and over his hips until he's pulling Lance's swim trunks down as well. Lance leans down and kisses the prince as Tristan starts walking backwards towards the shower, pulling the other man with him as he steps inside under the spray of water.
Tristan reaches down and grabs Lance's cock, rubbing his thumb over the tip and drawing a groan out of the blonde-haired man. Lance bends down to grab the backs of both of Tristan's thighs, pulling the man up and placing his legs around his waist in one quick motion, causing Tristan to let out a small squeak as his hands latch onto Lance's shoulders. Lance chuckles as he presses Tristan's back to the shower wall. The silverette arches into him, his body instinctively reacting to the cold tile touching his skin, and the action causes his cock to rub against Lance's. Both men moan into the kiss, pressing closer to find that same friction again.
Lance grabs his bodywash from one of the shower shelves, pulling back from the kiss. "I'm supposed to be cleaning you up, right?" He says huskily as he pours some of the soap into his hands, blindly putting the bottle back on the shelf as he keeps his eyes on Tristan.
"Yes, I do believe that was the intention of this shower." Tristan says, smirking as he runs his nails down Lance's chest lightly.
"Thought so." Lance says as he reaches down and wraps his soap covered hand around both his and Tristan's cocks, holding them in a firm grip and giving one, single tug before stopping and Tristan bucks his hips up, trying to get a continuation of the motion. Lance tsks and changes his grip on the prince, instead grabbing tight hold of his hip and pinning it in place.
Tristan gasps and bites his lip. "I love it when you take control." He comments.
Lance gives another tug, this one quicker. "You implying that I usually don't, little prince?" The pet name slips out, something he'd never called Tristan before, but it gets a very noticeable reaction from the other man.
"N-not at all, s-sir." He stutters out, his eyes wide and dark, the absolute furthest thing from innocent.
That flash of heat runs through his body again at being addressed as such and he pumps his fist as he growls out, "Say it again."
"Sir. P-please." The silverette tries to move his hips again.
"Stop squirming, little prince, and I'll give you what you want." He breathes out. Tristan whimpers, but stays still, looking up at him with pleading eyes. "Good." The blonde whispers, before making good on his promise, pumping his fist and continuing the motion instead of stopping after just one pass.
Both of them groan and Lance starts moving his hips in time with his fist. Tristan lets out a whine and Lance digs his nails into the prince's hip, a warning for him not to move yet. Lance speeds up the motions of his hand a bit, groaning. "L-Lance. Sir." Tristan's voice is strained and Lance presses their foreheads together.
"Almost there, sweetheart, just wait a bit longer." He pants.
He jerks them both off quickly now, chasing both their highs but his main focus is Tristan in that moment. They both moan together as they get closer, the hot water beating down on them without much notice from either one.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck." Tristan chants, his back arching forward more with each curse and his body starts tensing up, like a coil getting ready to spring, and Lance is feeling much the same way.
"That's it, little prince, let me see you cum." The taller man encourages, and that was all it took for the silver-haired man to fall apart in his arms.
"Oh, Lance!" He shouts, body locking up completely as he cums hard. Lance tries his best to keep watching the beautiful sight unfolding before him, but his own orgasm takes over and his vision blurs as he cries out Tristan's name in return.
Tristan comes down from his high with another whimper, Lance with a soft groan, and both of them become still finally except for the heaving of their chests as they try to catch their breaths. "Damn." Lance says.
Tristan giggles. "I cannot wait to do some more exploring with you."

RAERAE!!!
Okay so I have to tell you: I have for a little bit now been working on my own little slasher OC + reader universe (not a rip-off of yours in any way, I promise, although you did sort of inspire me), and I think now I’ve finally gotten it fine-tuned to the point where I can talk about it to someone! And, of course, you were the first person I thought of, being the gender-neutral royal of slasherkisser fics to me!!
Of course, if you don’t want to hear about it that is totally and completely fine (I acknowledge that I already annoy you with asks a lot and if you want me to stop that, too, you only have to tell me and I will), but if you do, just lemme know!! It’ll be really nice to infodump about my own little universe to somebody after planning it for so long (but, again, it’s totally fine if not)!!
Anyways, take your time with answering this, I don’t wanna rush you or anything, and I really hope you’re doing well!! ♡♡♡
hello, dolly~! ✨
Tumblr media
(it’s okay if you don’t get this reference, it’s old even for me lmao :’D)
first may I say that I am never, ever annoyed to get asks — it may take me a long-ass time to answer them, depending (and usually the longer it takes to answer, the more I’m having fun with what I’m writing), but I always enjoy someone taking the time to drop in. It always means a great deal to me when I know someone’s thinking of me/the morvants, and it’s always, always appreciated. I know I say it a lot, but I don’t take it lightly at all. 🖤 there’s so much to see and do out there, getting a little portion of anyone’s day is always an honor.
and while that is such an enormously kind a title you’ve graciously bestowed on me (seriously, I wanna put that on my business cards and my CV when I graduate!), I am a firm believer that everyone’s got a little slasherkisser in them. no need to feel worried about encroaching, this is a sandbox I think more people should play in (plus all my necromancy lore is so stupidly complicated I’ve got it written down in my notebooks lmao)! feel free to infodump away - I know you’ve already met my buddy jess and her bunch at @jmathesonandsiblings, but there’s also @shadowworldwanderers who has their own fun bunch as well, and my buddy Sam @pondering-and-wondering has hers over at @claire-connolly! (note: I’m typing this part while I’m also sitting here with my folks, so if there’s anyone I’m obviously missing, please know that’s just bc I’m distracted and feel free to introduce yourself!)
I already can’t wait to hear more about y’all’s little haven in virginia. 🖤♥️🖤 if there’s ever anything I feel is a little too similar for comfort, I’ll be sure to let you know, but I’m already sure your group will have their own distinct vibes. 🥰 there always needs to be more stories in the world, especially lately, and there’s always plenty of room in the spooky corners for newcomers!!
thank you so much for telling me about your new scrimblos, hon! I’m honored that you wanted to include us, and I’m looking so forward to meeting them! 👻💀♥️

percy jackson is famous.
ok thats putting it lightly, percy jackson is extremely famous. in fact he is one of the youngest million-almost-billion-aires in the world. the twenty-two year old has an incredible influence on the world. how he got famous? no one really knows.
maybe its the fact that society drops at the feet of any good-looking rich boy. or maybe he actually did work for it like the rest of the word, we'll never know.
but.
y/n l/n is even more famous.
she's a force to be reckoned with, taking the world by storm with her music and setting the industry alight with her influence. she's got power, beauty and talent and she's not afraid to show it, the recently-turned twenty-one year old has turned the world on its head. case and point; her world tour that she's embarked on. y/n l/n switched things up and instead of starting in the u.s she's finishing here in good ol' new york!
l/n has one final show in florida and two more in boston and then we welcome her home to nyc.
why am i writing an article about y/n l/n and percy jackson i hear you ask? because the young celebrities were both spotted at a high end restaurant in florida, whether they were actually together or not remains to be discovered...
~~~
"would you put your phone down?" lia sighs, setting down an iced coffee in front of you. "you've been staring at that article all morning- its not even a credible source. its probably just some random high schooler blogging."
"i know," you huff and glare at her when she steals your phone from you. "but seriously? percy jackson? come on! i've never even met the guy."
"ooh he is yummy," lia says looking at your phone, at the photo of percy that was pasted at the top of the article. "i mean, ew yucky, he's like the ugliest person ever, i definitely don't want to bang him."
"bang him?" you laugh. "please for the love of god, never say that again."
lia just shrugs and picks up her own coffee taking a sip. "it's trueee."
sighing you lean back into your seat and look around the extravagant living room you're both currently resting in. its a few hours before you have to start getting ready for your final show here in florida and you can feel the anticipation starting to build under your skin.
"omigoshlookatthis," lia shrieks shoving your phone into your face.
"are you seriously stalking his instagram right now?" you raise your eyebrows at her.
"what? as i said he. is. hot."
your eyes flick quickly over his instagram not really seeing the appeal - sure he's good looking in a noticeable, obvious kinda way - but all he seems to post is pictures of him and how rich he is. ugh. be more creative - his insta is like every other boys. shirtless pics and vacations.
then your eyes settle on one thing in particular. "wait! you followed him?"
"shit," lia's eyes widen. "fuck this isn't going to help is it?"
"do something!" you shriek leaping off the couch. "do something! unfollow him! do something!"
"shit shit shit shit," lia cries as you both fly around the room in hysteria - you're both acting like teenage girls honestly - but at this point you don't care.
"fix it! fix it!"
"ok ok! done! i unfollowed him." lia's quiet for a moment and then she panics again. "ahhh fuck he's ONLINE!"
"noooooo! do you think he saw it?" you slap lia in the shoulder. "LIA!" hands shaking as you slump back down. "fuck. oh my god. this is going to be all over the internet."
"it'll be okay," lia comforts sitting down next to you. "it's not like you're famous or anything."
~~~
just now
yn.user followed you
"PERCY FUCKING JACKSON WHAT DID YOU DO?"
those aren't usually percy's favorite words. so when he hears grover yelling this from the hotel bathroom - why the bathroom? don't ask.
"what? what?" percy yells back.
"PERCY MOTHER FUCKING JACKSON WHAT DID YOU DO?" okayyy thats is definitely not good if luke was yelling at him too.
"WHAT?" percy yells back.
"PERCY-"
"I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU SAY WHAT DID YOU DO ONE MORE TIME-"
luke and grover both stalk into the living room with chris and clarisse hot on their heels all supporting bewildered looks on their faces.
"do you know y/n l/n?" grover asks narrowing his eyes.
"the singer right?" percy asks confused still.
"check your insta right now," clarisse jumps in.
percy still confused as ever pulls out his phone eyebrows nearly springing off his face when he sees the notification on insta.
"wait what?"
"y/n l/n followed you for like two minutes and then unfollowed you again. its all over twitter, instagram, everything - especially after that dumb article went around," luke explains.
"it doesn't matter," percy sighs chucking his phone back onto the couch beside him.
"uh yes it does!" grover practically yells. "do you know where we're all going tonight? to her concert! this is going to feed every horny teenage girls dream." grover shoots percy an exasperated look. "my god, the rumours and theories that are gonna come out after this is insane."
"who cares what people think about us? it isn't true. besides y/n is probably one of those girls."
"those girls?" clarisse asks her eye brows raised.
"y'know, pretentious little daddy's girls who clearly have everything handed to them on a silver platter? those girls."
"whatever you say dumbass," chris chuckles.
"we're going to that concert tonight, percy," grover says turning on him. "shit is going to hit the fan because of it, but we're going. because i paid a fortune for those tickets and clarisse and i really wanna see y/n."
"whatever you say buddy, whatever you say."

"i told you this would happen!" you huff to lia when she walks into your bedroom a few mornings later. "my entire comment section has been filled with people questioning about percy! i've never even met the guy!"
lia who had been assigned the role - self-assigned - the role to get you out of bed just rolls her eyes and drags the covers off you. "i know as you keep saying. but there is nothing we can do about it- short from announcing that it was a mistake. no one will even believe that anyway, so just let it go."
reluctantly you leave the comfort of your bed and slip into the clothes lia had picked out, trailing after her like a lost puppy. this usually happens between concerts, you return home and rest in your bed (with lia more often than not) not leaving it unless you need to, then lia comes parading in and announces that you're going out and since you have little fight left in you - you always agree.
ignoring the countless paparazzi as you make your way into the cafe you listen to lia as she blabs on about how she's never going to forgive you for not telling her you were adding a new song to your setlist without telling her.
you're so wrapped up in your own head you don't even see the person in front of you until you're slamming into them. and they've spilt coffee down your front.
"ah shit."
"fuck sorry."
you look up and its none other than the percy jackson. well hey! you've officially met him now!
"you good?" percy asks glasses and a cap cover his face but you still recognise him - what? lia's obsessed. and you were subjected to listen about her love for him - and the tone of his voice already pissed off and bored. it's like he was concerned until the second he recognised you. rude.
he doesn't even spare you a second glance before he's flipping you off.
"excuse me?" you say pulling his hand down. "did you just flip me off?"
percy's face pulls into a smirk and you just look up at him in disgust, brush past him and say "whatever asshole." at the same time he says. "later bitch."
fucker you're both thinking.

AN/EN : Hi there ! It's been a long time but I've been quite busy lately, but I have a bit of time to upload again !
Here's a little story taking place in Mily's early childhood again with the Inukag family while Orion is at school and their parents at work. Hope you enjoy !
Note : Hisui, Setsuna, Moroha, Inuyasha and Kagome belong to Katsuyuki Sumisawa belong and Rumiko Takahashi ; Mily belongs to me.
FR/FR : Coucou ! Ça fait un moment que je n'ai rien publié mais j'étais occupé ces derniers mais maintenant que j'ai un peu de temps j'en profite !
Voici une petite histoire prenant place de nouveau durant la petite enfance de Mily avec la famille Inukag pendant qu'Orion est à l'école et leur parents au travail. En espérant que ça vous plaise !
Note : Hisui, Setsuna et Moroha, Inuyasha et Kagome appartiennent à Rumiko Takahashi et à Katsuyuki Sumisawa ; Mily est mon personnage.
Sore Tooth
”C’mon Mily, it’s okay! Don’t cry!” Hisui sighed, rocking the pup who’s been crying non-stop.
”Oh man… there’s no end to this.” Setsuna groaned, face in her hands.
Mily’s been crying for hours, very loudly. Setsuna and Hisui tried their best to calm her down but Towa, Riku and Rion weren’t there to help them and it’s starting to get agonizing ”What’s happening here?” Kagome asked, ”I can hear her from a mile away.”
”Auntie Kagome… please help.” Hisui asked with an exhausted voice.
”We can’t stop her! We don’t know what to do!” Setsuna followed, hopelessly.
The priestess came to look at the baby: her face was red, from crying but the inside of her mouth was beet red and her little fang had a bit of blood on it ”I think I know what’s going on.” She said softly with a smile.
”Seriously?” The teens asked.
”Yeah and I’m pretty sure Inuyasha and Moroha will know what to do.” She answered by taking the baby in her arms ”You guys can stay here and rest, you look exhausted.”
It didn’t take long for the two of them to fall flat asleep in their beds, they worked the entire night and having a crying baby on top really didn’t help.
Kagome went to her house where her husband and daughter were eating lunch. ”Oi Kagome, you’re late.” Inuyasha said with his mouth full of ramen.
”Waaa! Waaaa!” Mily cried her lungs out.
”Oh boy. The little guy’s not feeling well.” Moroha sighed after swallowing her food.
”Yeah, but I think you guys might know what’s happening.”
”Oh really? Let’s see.”
Moroha just took one good look at the baby and it was enough to tell the problem ”Lemme guess, sore tooth, isn’t it?” Inuyasha said without even looking.
”Yep, definitely.” She followed.
”Sounds like you had the same problem.” Kagome said by sitting near her husband.
”Oh boy. Yeah.” He groaned.
”I had sore teeth when I was younger after I used my rouge for the first time.” Moroha followed ”Since I had two fangs growing out of my mouth forcibly and I bled a bit too.”
”Still, it’s different here.” Her father said ”Like me, Mily’s born as a naturally fanged Hanyou. Since her teeth aren’t out yet, unlike yours were, her only newborn fang is getting just a little too big for her mouth on top of having her other teeth coming in.”
”Now that you said it, she’s almost two and her parents told me she didn’t have any teeth yet so the teething is just starting.” Kagome remarked ”So, what can we do?”
”Taking the blood off first, it’s like she murdered someone.” Moroha said seeing that poor Mily’s mouth was full of blood ”I’ll take care of that. Do you guys know where to find painkillers to calm her down ?”
”I can make these in no time.” Kagome said.
”I’ll take care of that nasty fang.” Inuyasha followed by getting up ”Be right back.”
Moroha quickly prepared warm water to give the little girl a bath. She was in pain, blood all over her face ”Poor little guy, I know how much it hurts.” She said softly, trying to calm the baby which worked only a little.
She wrapped her up in a towel and dried her up. Slowly Mily calmed down a little, Moroha could tell she was in pain ”Mom? Are you done with the medicines?” She asked by putting the baby in a tiny kimono.
”Yes! Be right there.” Kagome answered by getting closer to them ”Okay mini Mily, down the hatch.” She cooed by putting a tiny spoon full of medicines inside the baby’s mouth.
Mily frowned because it was bitter but she swallowed it ”Poor baby, it’s really painful, isn’t it?” Kagome said to the teary eyed little girl.
”Yeah but it’ll be over soon little guy, I promise.” Moroha said softly by nuzzling her belly.
”Oi! Is it done yet?” Inuyasha asked by getting in with a little demon bone.
”Dad… Why the hell did you bring that?!” She asked by smiling.
”You’ll see. Is the painkiller working?”
”It’s starting.” Kagome said with the baby in her arms. ”But we can’t get her to stop crying.”
”Give her to me. My mom used to do something to help ease the pain when it happened to me.”
The three of them sat on the bed, and Inuyasha held her tiny head by rubbing her cheek with his thumb. Her eyes were shut in pain, tears flowing down but slowly her expression softened as her tiny tail wagged, the pain was calming down ”I can’t believe it.” Kagome gasped.
”How did you do that Dad! You’re amazing!”
”Keh! Nothing that little one can hanndle! Right chibi?” He asked the baby who was staring at the bone he held in his other hand ”You want that?”
He wiggled the bone as Mily tried to catch it so he gave it to her then she started nibbling on it. Kagome could only say ”Aw!” and Moroha just smiled warmly at the pup and soon a tiny white solid fell out of her mouth and Inuyasha immediately caught it ”Here we go! All set and done!” He said by opening his hand, revealing this tiny, nasty fang.
”Aww Inu, you’re such a good dad!” Kagome cooed.
”He always has been! Best Papa ever!” Moroha followed by hugging him.
”Keh! I know that, girls!” He said boldly.
”Arooo! Haha!” Mily cooed happily.
”Aww but it’s kinda sad, her adorable fang is gone!” His wife whined.
”Who said it was?” He asked, ”Look.” He said by opening her tiny mouth revealing a new little fang.
”Oh my god! This is precious!” She said happily.
”A whole new one is coming! You’re gonna be a little warrior! Good girl!” Moroha followed.
As the girls were gushing over the little guardian Inuyasha was looking at her and seemed so relieved ”You’re already a little warrior, Chibi.”

stranger things!beomgyu x fem!reader vol.2
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
warnings; dirty/sweet talk, pet names, angst, the upside-down, beomgyu gets fucked up, no condom, teasing, public teasing, mutual pining, creampie.
A/N; I've never written angst like this before but I tried my best, I hope you enjoy!! Also, i might write a pt.3, lemme know how you guys feel about that!(it wouldn't be as long as this though, it would mainly just consist of smut).
Tumblr media
“Seriously, Beomgyu? That wasn’t even scary, a grandfather clock? You suck at telling scary stories” You scoff as a look of offense covers his face, “Oh, whatever. You were totally scared, don’t lie”
Laughing at his hurt ego you decide you both have been laying in your bed a little too long, your mom should be home any minute. It was hard to detach yourself from him, the feeling of your bare skin pressed against his was almost euphoric. The slight tickle of his hair against your neck and shoulders was the reason behind the content smile on your lips.
Suddenly, your front door opens and you soon remember that your mom was supposed to be here soon, and there she is.
“Y/n, I brought dinner” She calls, your eyes widen and you both spring out of your bed, hands finding any clothes they’re able.
“One second, i’m getting changed” Your shoulders visibly lower in relief when you see he’s fully dressed, you pull on some random pajama pants so it really looks like you were getting changed. Now one last thing, should he stride out of your room like it’s nothing or should he go through your window? Your room was on the ground floor so it’s not like he had to fall 30 feet or anything.
“Okay you can either go through my window or act normal and leave through my front door”
He quirks an eyebrow at you, “I’ll just go through the door, your mom loves me”
“Yea, honestly good choice” You both nod and he stills for a moment, soon engulfing you in a loving hug. “I’ll see you tomorrow, okay?“
His voice is warm and it causes hearts to sprout in your eyes, “yea, i’ll miss you” He returns your words and leans in, placing his hand on your jaw for a quick, but deep, kiss. Winking at you he swings your door open and greets your mother on his way out.
“I didn’t know Beomgyu was here, what were you guys doing?”
You hear from your kitchen, a tinge of panic rings through you as you search for something in your room to say, a very dramatic scream sounds from your clunky tv.
“Watching scary movies!” You say confidently, or at least you hope so. She hums back and you stretch before making your way to where she is, a take-out box sits neatly on your dining table with a random name etched into the styrofoam lid.
You thank her and talk about your day at school and her day at work, purposely leaving out the death of a cheerleader. If she knew about that you’d never leave the house again, you couldn’t have that.
—————————
You were nervous to go to school, would you bring up what happened between you and Beomgyu? Or would you act awkwardly towards each other? You fidget with your sleeves as you get to the campus, the group is in their usual spot and you see Beomgyu playfully shove Soobin before everyone is aware of your presence.
An eruption of “Y/N!!”’s come from the men and your hands fly to your ears, nose scrunched but you laugh nonetheless. You greet everyone and they soon go back to their previous conversation. You all have very similar schedules(totally not done on purpose at all) so you share your first period with Taehyun, your second with Beomgyu, thankfully today you only 2 periods. When you first got to college it was a blessing you only got a few periods a day.
Even from outside the bell is loud, you all groan and split up-you with Taehyun and the rest together. Before you walk away completely you find Beomgyu’s lingering stare and he eyes you slyly, eyes raking down and then up your body before meeting your gaze again and shooting you a wink. You watch as he walks off with the guys, Taehyun pulls you out of your trance, “wanna pair up today? I know she’s gonna make us”
“Oh yea, of course.” You both ramble on till you make it to the classroom.
———————-
Your first hour is always great, Taehyun is such a good friend and it reminds you how lucky you feel to have found such a nice group.
You usually don’t walk together because he has this thing he needs to do, he’s told you a thousand times but you still can’t remember. But today he’s free so you walk to lunch, as you enter the cafe he makes a joke about your English teacher and you can’t hold in the guffaw.
Both of you are still holding your stomachs in laughter as you reach the table, Soobin starts rambling about this girl that he hates in his second hour and how she purposefully does stuff to mess with him. Your attention is on something else though, Beomgyu eyes you again, but this time he looks pissed off. You cock an eyebrow at him in question and he tightens the scowl on his face, looking away.
It takes a few moments for him to start chatting with everyone but when he does he goes back to normal. So much so, that when you both get up to get to class he’s all smiles and giggles.
____________
Your chair scrapes against the tiled floor as your teacher instructs the class to grab a textbook from the closet, waiting for everyone to go you finally make it in and stand on your tippy-toes to grab one of the last remaining books. Your fingers drag it out of its spot a third of the way until a hard chest is pressed into your back and a very obvious outline is pressed snug between your ass.
The man towers over you to the point you see a glimpse of his face, Beomgyu looks nonchalant as he basically grinds his erection into you. To make matters worse his left-hand digs into your waist, and you almost forget entirely about the 30-pound book you’re slowly inching out of the shelf until you’re aware it’s slipping out of your hand.
Another hand engulfs yours to stop the book from decapitating you, warm breath smooths over your ear and neck, “you should really pay attention”.
His low voice and the feeling of him grinding into you short circuits your brain and leaves you unable to say anything snarky or clever. He darkly laughs at you and leaves the closet, you come to and grip the book to your chest.
You knew this was going to be a long class, and you were right. You’d think he’d be staring at you the entire time, but he didn’t glance at you even once. You yearned for more attention from the man but got nothing for the entire hour.
You were left to squeeze your thighs together and think back to what you two did, vivid images of his ringed fingers gripping your skin, his moans, and the way he looked at you floated through your head entirely out of your control. You wanted him to touch you again, no, you needed him to.
______________
After class he beckons you over so you can walk together, a group of girls walk past you and you overhear them speaking about some reporter at the high school being found dead. He apparently died the same way Chrissy did too, chills zip down your spine and you suck in a shaky breath.
Could you be next? Could Beomgyu be next? Questions fly through your brain like a tornado and you stop in your tracks, a bad feeling consumes you until a hand meets your forearm and you realize your name is being called.
“Y/n”
“Y/n…”
“Y/n!”
You look up to see Beomgyu’s concerned features, they soften when he meets your gaze.
“Are you okay?” You put on an apologetic smile and nod your head, starting your walk to the front building.
You ramble on about some show you like when you feel the skillful fingers of Beomgyu teasing the edge of your shirt and the band of your pants, you don’t think too much of it before his hand grips the skin of your waist to keep you close. His nails gently scrape against your skin and you stutter out the rest of your sentence.
“Soobin is having everyone over today, you’re coming right?” He says, a little too close to your ear. It’s not very loud in the building you're currently in so it wasn’t because he was talking over other people, nevertheless, goosebumps bud over the nearby skin and you suck in a breath.
You think Beomgyu doesn’t notice until you spot the flirtatious smirk he’s currently adorning. A clever remark sits upon the tip of your tongue, but it dies when the guys are in view.
“Y-yea, i’ll come”
You smile at the group but the action falters when you hear the smallest, “not until tonight you won’t”.
You tell yourself you’re imagining it, his hand detaches from your waist and you can’t help the pout that settles on you.
“Everyone ready?”
You all nod and agree, beginning the walk to Soobin’s car. You, Beomgyu, and Yeonjun didn’t drive very often, why waste gas money when you live a few blocks from the school?
Soobin, Kai, and Taehyun on the other hand would be walking for a while if they decided to not drive. Soobin was always caring so he drove them every day, and even let them take his car if he was sick.
“Why did you park fucking 50 miles away? There’s literally parking lots for students” Yeonjun complains, “I’m not paying for a parking spot, cry about it”
That didn’t sit well with Yeonjun so he decided to prop out his foot directly in front of Soobin's. Soobin’s like a gentle giant though, so he only glares at the older boy.
Yeonjun cheers when we finally make it to his car, “SHOTGUN” Kai yells. The group groans and he only laughs at your disdain.
“Taehyun would you scoot over, oh my god” Yeonjun complains again, “aw that stick up your ass must be uncomfortable” The younger bites back, once they’re fully seated they’re immediately fighting and that leaves Beomgyu being shoved into you every now and then.
The memories of today pop up into your mind and your eyes widen a fraction, today Beomgyu ground his dick into your ass in the middle of class.
Your eyes drift to Beomgyu’s legs and soon the very obvious outline snug against his right thigh, your face gets unbelievably warm and you release the breath you didn’t know you were holding. The only thing on your mind at the moment was him, yearning for the feeling of his fingers on your clit or his cock splitting you in two.
You feel like a dog in heat because of him, you flinch for a second at the feeling of your hair tickling the skin on your face. A hand that does not belong to you pushes the stray’s behind your ear and you try your best to not look him in the eye.
Looking him in the eye would release the waterfall in your pants and you’re not ready for your underwear to stick to you uncomfortably all night.
-------------
The car ride wasn't that bad after that, everyone kept their hands to themselves and it was nice, it was all going great at Soobin's as well until Taehyun just had the brilliant idea of going to lovers lake.
It might've been literally directly behind Soobin's house but you did NOT care, that sounded horrible. Though everyone was so excited and hyped to do something outside of school and DnD so you didn't wanna be a downer, you let them lead you through the woods and to the muddy shore.
The sun was setting soon and the sky looked surprisingly really pretty, the group of 4 boys were messing around, and the 5th one was sat right next to you talking your ear off. You didn't mind though, you haven't gotten close to him like this since that night so you declined going back to Soobin's early, Beomgyu wasn't going anywhere either.
Soobin, Taehyun, Yeonjun, and Kai looked amongst themselves confused but told you to come back whenever.
"I wish i could see the sunset better, these trees are so getting in the way"
Beomgyu hummed in agreement and jumped to his feet, making shallow footprints in the damp dirt of the shore. You eye him suspiciously as he shuffles behind a giant tree, he soon lugs a small, metal, boat closer and closer to you.
"How did you even see that?"
"I go here often, it's nice" He says as he positions the boat correctly in the water, holding it so it doesn't float away.
"Are you sure it's safe? I'm not really a fan of drowning" You say as you loop a strand of hair around your pointer finger nervously.
"Don't worry. cutie. It's safe, I've gone on here loads of times. Hop in"
The pet name has your stomach close to churning, hesitantly stepping into the boat your hands shoot for leverage when it moves under your weight. Safely sitting on one of the small, cold, benches he steps into it as well and nearly topples over into the murky water.
You both get a good laugh from that, he grips the ores on either side of the boat and starts to row slowly. You've never ridden in a boat like this before, let alone with a hot guy, you're concentrating on your breathing so you don't have a panic attack or something.
You eye his arms as he rows, they might be covered by his hellfire t-shirt but, damn, they still look good. He comes to a stop and rests the ores against the side of the boat again, "There, a perfect view of the sunset. Just for you, cutie" He sends you a wink, and you in return giggle like a ditz. You direct your gaze to the sky and only look back at him when he hasn't said anything for a minute or two, and that's pretty unusual for Beomgyu.
A certain look comes over his face as he gazes at the water, you're unable to decipher it and a feeling of nervousness consumes you. "What's wrong?"
You hate how shaky your voice is when you ask but you put it behind you, he rips his eyes from the water and says, "Wanna go swimming?'
Your eyebrow shoots up in shock, is he serious? He wants to swim, in the lake, at night, without a bathing suit?
"I already told you I don't wanna drown, Beomgyu"
He playfully scoffs at your concerns and grips the back of his shirt, hotly sliding it up and over himself. The air in your lungs is sucked out and you try your absolute best to not ogle him.
"C'mon, cutie. It's fun, I promise you won't drown". He holds out a pinky and you reluctantly meet it with your own little finger.
"Whatever, you're lucky I know how to swim" You mutter while trying to gain the courage to pull off your top, before you even know it he's overboard and doggy paddling around the boat, stopping on your side to lean on the side of it.
"See? It's all goo-" He's cut off as he suddenly is dragged under the water, your heart is in your ass as you gasp and yell his name.
You jump about 6 feet in the air when he resurfaces, laughing.
"Beomgyu, are you serious?!. You scared me half to death!" Tears prick at your eyes and he realizes he probably shouldn't have done that.
"I'm sorry, cutie. I didn't know it would scare you that bad" His wet hand meets your cheek and you don't seem to care while his face moves closer. He's a few inches away from your lips when he gets tugged downward. "Beomgyu, don't try and scare me again" You scold as his eyes become wide, "I-I'm not I swear, something just grabbed my foot"
Your heart almost explodes and you immediately go to grab his hand, trying your best to pull him up. The tugging becomes harsher and his hand slips from yours with ease as he disappears into the dirt-colored water, taking the left ore with him.
You almost fling yourself overboard when you stare into the water, praying he'll pop out and laugh at you once more. But it never comes, it's like you're in a trance as your mind is set on a decision. Clumsily diving right after him, the water is cold but it seems to only egg on your adrenaline. Your eyes open and it takes a second to adjust.
The water stings your eyes but it doesn't deter you as you frantically look in all directions. All you see is fish and more water until you realize you've reached the bottom. The sand is almost mocking you, he's not here.
This can't be the end, you refuse to let it go and swim to the top. If you die trying then so be it, just as soon as your lungs become strict in your chest you see....a red light? It's not very bright, it's like someone strung fairy lights across the bottom of the lake.
This can't be real, as you swim closer the light becomes brighter and you're met with a hole in the ground, the opening has tree-like roots sprouting from the flesh-looking sides. You reach out to touch the filmy layer that the oval-shaped hole is covered by. The feeling of it feels offensive on your skin but you go back to touch it a second time. Could Beomgyu somehow be in here? A thousand questions ring your head but you're on a time crunch as the need for air becomes greater.
Deciding to just go for it you claw your way through the hole just to be met with more murky water, you keep swimming until you somehow surface.
Gasping for air you look at your surroundings frantically, water droplets cloud your vision for a few seconds at a time and you swim to a solid surface to rationalize the best you can in your current predicament. Whatever that might be, you're not sure yet. One second your almost kissing Beomgyu again and the next you're in a random hole in the ground. Your fingers soon grip the mud that lines the shore of lovers lake and you momentarily cringe at the feeling.
It's, unfortunately, too slippery to get a good grip on so you eye the mud and throw yourself a the first tree root you see. The sprout sticking out of the ground is almost torn as you yank yourself over it and into the ground. The rough bark of the root scrapes against your hands but your fear and adrenaline hide the pain of your palm skin breaking.
Looking around you find that it's not dark out, and the air seems to be filled with..dust? You're not sure but you know for a fact it's gross. Slowly making your way to stand on your own feet again you grip a tree, ripping your hand away when you realize the vine around it is moving. Your eyes follow it and you take a look around before realizing that it's everywhere, all over the trees, in zigzags on the ground, and everything. A chill runs down your spine and your shoes squelch when you step.
The first thing that you recognize is that one rock that's shaped like a skull, you've never been more confused in your life as you try and truly take in what just happened. This place looks exactly like Hawkins, but it just feels so different. You know it's not right.
You lean against the rock momentarily, panting out. Maybe it's just your ears but the sound of your panting is really loud. Louder than the time you had to run the mile in gym class. Testing your theory you hold your breath, and your suspicions are proved when the sound of someone panting doesn't cease.
Your eyes widen and your heart almost stops, that could easily be something that's hungry and has an appetite for college students.
But, it could also be Beomgyu. You weigh the decisions in your head and come to the conclusion that you should check. Your hair wets the rock as you scale the side, trying to avoid the leaves and sticks scattered around it so you don't alert whatever the thing could be.
You make your way to the side of the opening and cautiously stick your head out, the feeling of relief makes your knees buckle as you see Beomgyu slouching against the rock on the ground. A pained look takes up his face as he pants. His hair is messy and wet, his jeans are wet as well, but just like his skin, is smudged and battered.
You let your guard down slightly as you stumble to the front opening of the rock, startling Beomgyu for a split second before he stutters out your name and uses the rock as leverage to stand.
"Y-y/n, what-how-you're here?" His hands envelop your jaw as he stares at you, "I don't even know, I thought you were gone. I went in after you and-and now I'm here" You suck in a breath before wrapping your arms around the man, you breathe in his scent as your head fits snugly into his neck.
Startling you both is a loud, bird, almost like call. He pulls away to drag you under the rock as well, holding his battered finger to his lips. You nod and peer out at the sky from under the rock, a flock of bat-looking creatures covers the sky for a moment like a dark cloud, and then disappears.
"it's not safe here, we need to get to a house or something" He hums in agreement and you both think about the closet house you know.
'"Soobin's is right next to here, c'mon" You yank at his hand and stealthily make your way to your friends house, trying your best to not touch the weird vine things either. He holds his sides as he bites back sounds of pain. Dragging his feet through the leaves and away from the weird vines was tough, not just because he was injured either. You quickly take notice of this and rush to his side, pulling hi right arm over your shoulders. You sigh and look around again, this place looks exactly like his home but it felt so wrong and unsettling, an eery feeling nestled into his stomach.
Your heart is beating loudly in your ears as you make it to his front door, Beomgyu leans against a window as you grab the key from under their potted plant. Taking a moment to gaze at the fake leaves, you remember this one time you broke the pot the thing was stationed in and almost had a panic attack over it, meanwhile the guys laughed until Kai actually gagged. The bittersweetness nips at your heavy heart and you go back to what you were doing. You fumble with it for a second before jabbing the key in the lock. Helping him inside you set him on the leather couch. He knows he's not hurt too bad but the fact that he has no idea where he is or how he's going to get home, if he'll ever go home, stung more than anything.
You kneel next to him and place his hands away from his torso, making way to examine him. His torso is scuffed and he's bleeding slightly, you sigh in relief, he hasn't lost much blood.
"I'm gonna see if they have any water and gauze, don't move" He nods and tips his head back, you run off to their bathroom closet and almost jump in triumph as you spot the white gauze sitting on the lowest shelf. Next is water, stepping towards the sink to your right you twist one of the handles hoping it'll spray water. You have no idea how it's possible but it does, you search for hand towels and get as many as you can hold. Wetting each of them and hauling your findings to the living room where Beomgyu hasn't moved since you left.
He's almost amused at how similar this world is, he's slept on this couch hundreds of times, but he can feel the difference.
"I've got everything, it's gonna be okay" You say hoping it'll bring a smile to his face, his mouth tinges upwards at the ends and it puts a wide-toothed smile on your face. You grab a towel and pat the bloody areas until the dried liquid around it is cleaned, then you harshly press clean towels to the open areas and hold them there. He winces and all you wanna do is kiss him better but that, sadly, won't do anything.
"I'm gonna have to wrap your stomach, so scootch down a bit so I can get a good angle" You mutter as you reach over for the gauze.
He nods and pushes himself so the only thing touching the couch is his hands and behind, getting to work fast you wind the medical gauze around him as best and as tight as you're able.
Your hands drop from his sides after you rip the gauze away from the roll. Wiping your damp hairline, you say, "All done, are you feeling any better?" Hand reaching to smooth the skin on his bicep.
"Yea, I can't thank you enough, Y/n. I still can't believe you risked your own life to try and save mine. I have no idea how to repay you, to be honest" He can't hold eye contact as an appreciative smile lights up your face. Even if he almost died and could still die, a blush steadily rises to his face.
"I would love to go into detail about the way I feel about you, Beomgyu, but I'm gonna wait until we're safely back home. And yes, we're going to get home, I promise you"
The way his gaze meets yours has you realizing you're pretty close to him, the dirt smeared on his sweaty and flushed face yanks harshly on your heart strings. You'd do anything to make sure he got to safety, even if that meant you couldn't.
Before you know it he gently presses his lips to yours, almost shyly. It doesn't take long for you to reciprocate the gesture and you can physically feel his confidence rush into the kiss.
He cocks his head and leans into you more, the vulnerability of your situation tears a broken whimper from your throat. You've been waiting for this to happen ever since the last time. You're not sure when it happened but your hands end up splayed across his neck and shoulder.
He breaks away with a soft pant and beckons you on his lap as he leans back, "Are you sure? I don't wanna hurt you" Your eyebrows scrunch together in worry and he can't help but softly chuckle at you.
"I'll be fine, come here, cutie"
The nickname has made a return and it causes your stomach to twist again, so you push the surges of concern into the back of your mind and pull yourself over his fabric-covered thighs. A hand meets your cheeks and ushers you closer to him, you barely hear it before he attaches his lips to you again. But you glad you did.
"I love you"
The kiss that follows is lust-filled and has your core throbbing, it doesn't help that you can clearly feel the outline of his erection pressed against your thigh. Cautiously, you grind into him, testing the waters. The low groan that emits from him has you yearning for more, anything he can give you.
"Fuck-Keep going" He harshly breathes out, opting to trail sloppy, open-mouthed, kisses down your neck. A warning about how sweaty you are dies on your tongue as you realize it really isn't important.
Your hips ground harder against his and he grips your waist tightly, guiding you.
"Please touch me, Gyu" You whine, throwing your head back as his clothed cock snags your clit, the friction the fabric causes has you gasping into the cluttered air.
He doesn't say anything as he repositions you under him, the way your hair is splayed out around you and the words you said to him earlier has hearts forming in his eyes.
So, he kisses you again while he shoves his stained pants down to his knees along with his briefs. The sight of him with his hair messy, sweaty and besmirched skin on display, has a gush of wetness released in your underwear. You know you should be quick with it so you push your pants off after removing your shoes, not being able to tear your eyes from the sight of him stroking himself in front of you.
"You ready?" He puffs out, you bobble your head in agreement and spread your legs to accommodate his large thighs. You both sigh as his shaft breaches your opening. He doesn't tease you this time, you hold back the pout. You really enjoyed that the last time.
You have to keep in mind that you can't grip him too hard, it's proving to be difficult as the feeling of him stretching you out again is accompanied by a deliciously painful, slow, sting. It also doesn't help that your mind is reeling at the way his face contorts, you could die happy seeing it again.
His eyes meet yours and his brows shoot up in a silent "Can I move?" once he bottoms out. You give him the sign and he plants a hand next to your waist while the other holds the skin of your hip.
At first, his pace is slow and it's almost overstimulating as you can feel every ridge and vein of him. Gently, your hands find purchase amongst his protruding collarbones. His hips become faster and you let out a sultry gasp, it causes his lip to become trapped under his front teeth. Even during this situation, you're intoxicating.
His restraint is faltering as he props up your legs and pushes them against your chest, now he has a perfect view of where you're connected.
"God, you're taking me so well. Such a good girl for me, always so perfect for me" The grip he has on the backs of your knees tightens a fraction, you moan in return and clamp your eyes shut.
"You f-feel so good, Gyu" You mutter, gasping when his hips slam into yours. You would be embarrassed at the sounds you two are emitting, the clapping and the squelching steadily rising in volume. But you can't bring yourself to care, you can feel your lips tremble as he keeps his current pace. His cock seemingly scratches an itch you had ever since he filled you up yesterday.
The closeness of it all causes heat to spread through your abdomen and you squeeze around him, a growl-like sound comes from his throat as he trails a hand down to your throbbing clit.
You can feel yourself leaking on the couch and knew for a fact if this was actually Soobin's he'd probably make you buy another one. Beomgyu's hair falls in front of his eyes, he leans back-still thrusting and runs a hand through it. The action has the heat consuming you become stronger.
"Gonna cum for me, cutie?" He chokes out, you nod frantically and your hips buck upward at the same time he thrusts. The thumb on your clit has you whining and you suddenly desire to be even closer to him. Your hand reaches for his neck and drags him down to your awaiting pout, the kiss is sweet and he swallows your moans as you clench around him like a vice.
The heat is so very close to consuming you both, "I love you, Gyu" You whisper into his lips as you're pushed from the edge. Your muscles twitch and white spreads behind your closed eyelids, mouth open in a silent scream.
The feeling and sight of you cumming so prettily for him has him stuffing you full of his cum once more. His sweaty hips stutter into yours as he lets out a hot moan. The man stills and pants above you, the second he opens his eyes to look at you you're pulling him into another kiss.
"I love you too" He says between kisses, the sentimental return of your words has you momentarily forgetting where you both are.
The moment is ruined as the creatures from before let out shrills from outside, reminding you you're not at home. He pulls out and passes you your pants and underwear.
The both of you shimmy on your clothes and when you stand you're soon reminded where he came. The oozing feeling is back but you decide you'll take care of it once you're back in your actual neighborhood. Taking a glance back at Beomgyu he seems to be standing straighter and doesn't look too beat up anymore.
"Ok so, how do we leave?" His voice is weary and you think about literally anything that could help.
"Uh..let's think. We got here from a hole on the bottom of lovers lake..." You trail, "How about we try that hole again? Go back to how we got here and try that?"
He stares at the coffee table in front of you both in thought and ends up agreeing, "Yea, yea that could work. Let me check outside first" He shuffles to the door and pushes it open, eyeing the sky intensely.
"I think we're good, c'mon" He waves you over and takes a hold of your hand, winding your fingers before looking you in the eye.
Shutting the door gently behind you so as to not alert anything of your presence.
He keeps a hard grip on your hand as you both steadily make your way back to the lake, hoping and praying nothing sees you. The walk there wasn't as scary as it was before, the creatures seemed to be gone and it felt relieving to have him in better shape beside you. His thumb absentmindedly rubbed the skin of your hand and it soothed your pounding heart.
The soggy leaves barely make a sound beneath your feet and you soon are back at the rock, "halfway there" he smiles at you. You return it to the best of your ability and take a deep breath.
The lake looks exactly the same as it did, you can even see the area where you pulled yourself up, the mud still has your idents. The memory has you looking back at your shirt, a large mud stain smeared across it.
Beomgyu snaps you out of thought, "I'll go first to look for it, you stay here, I'll come back up when I find it okay?" He engulfs one of your hands with both of his, rubbing new skin with his thumb.
"yea, okay. Please be careful"
He nods and presses a quick but loving kiss to your forehead, lending you a smile before lowering himself back into the water, heading to the bottom. You're alone again but you try your best to not think about it too much, opting for tuning out the sounds you hear from above you.
You focus on your breathing and stare down the water, making sure you see him the millisecond he resurfaces. A few more seconds go by and worry is starting to settle in, you're so close to leaving this place.
Another moment passes and you just about jumped in after him again when he emerges, a hand flings the wet hair from his face as he calls out, "I FOUND IT" The smile on his face has multiple tons of weight melting off of your chest, you don't wait even a second before getting in the water yourself.
Just like the last time you were in it, it's cold.
When you're close enough he takes your hand and clasps your fingers once more. It's a bit difficult because both of your hands are slippery but you make it a goal to stay directly next to him when he dives back down. Looking around the water you only see the bones and remains of fish, an eery reminder you're not at home.
He shakes your hand vigorously to get your attention, the dull red gets brighter and brighter. You almost gasp before remembering that's not such a good idea at the moment.
Both of your hands are still tightly knit together as you approach the familiar, oval, opening. He pushes you in first, breaking your hands for a second as he launches you the best he can. Gripping the edge of the oval you halt yourself from drifting too far away. It's difficult to see through to the other side but you hold your hand out and wait for him to grab it, the feeling of fingers has your hand harshly clamping around his and you let go of the side of it. Drifting away from the portal, Beomgyu right behind you.
The air in your lungs is becoming shallow but it doesn't bother you as much as before. The moment you resurface you heave, he does the same and quickly drags you over to the shore.
The same root you used before was there, but this time it was the real thing. It hurt to pull on, you're sure your hand is bruised and bleeding now because of it, but it's a great feeling. This time the feel of mud between your fingers is welcomed.
Beomgyu's fortunately tall enough to reach the bottom of the shore so you both crawl your way on the soil. He drops to the ground and looks up towards the night sky. Laughter falls from his lips like you just told the funniest joke, you're quick to join in. Looking around everything feels normal, it's still nighttime and the constant feeling of dread and eeriness is gone, replaced with joy and relief.
You both don't say anything, the laughter slowly dies down and you're goofily smiling at one another. Your chests are heaving, you're both dirty, and his gauze is holding on by a thread.
The first thing he does is push himself up on an elbow and splay his palm across your wet cheek, yanking you into a loving kiss, you'll probably never feel something like it again. The relief, fright, adrenaline, everything, that you both felt is released into the kiss.
"C'mon, cutie" He pulls away to triumphantly say. Kindly, he helps you to your feet, and off you go, through the woods. You have to refrain from hugging every tree you see.
You're soaked but couldn't care even if you wanted to, the familiar brick of Soobin's house is enough to almost bring tears to your eyes. You still have absolutely no idea what happened but you know it's going to haunt you over the years. You're happy now but that'll fade.
Your fingers glide against the rough brick of the house and you are again met with the plant, this time you laugh. You laugh hard at the fact you accidentally broke it and had a panic attack about it. It's the funniest thing you've ever heard.
Beomgyu is quick to join while you search for the key, the metal feels great in your hand and you flip it around for a second before unlocking the door. The house is dark but you can hear voices from upstairs, Soobin's bedroom is right at the top of the stairs so you're able to easily spot the flashing lights cascading from under his door frame.
You begin to take a step but are stopped in your tracks by Beomgyu, he pulls you in for yet another kiss. It's short-lived and he's soon pulling you up the stairs. You hear him take a breath before turning the door knob and pushing it open.
"What happened to you?"
"Why are you dirty?"
"Are you okay?"
"You're getting water all over my carpet!"
Soobin's complaint brings a smile to your face, as well as Beomgyu's.
You're suddenly very aware of the oozing in your underwear when you go to move, eyes widening in shock. Beomgyu is quick to catch on and can't help the guffaw that leaves his sore throat.
