@anonymous sent: @Mimic. You Mobians actually educate and clothe your females!?

There's a slow blink of eyes as the other spoke. As if the information hadn't sunk in and there needed to be time to process it all. Slowly, gaze turns around them. No, there weren't any cameras. This wasn't one of those silly 'pranks', as there so loved to be for entertainment's sake.

Very well, she supposes there's nothing better to do at the time. May as well humor whatever the hell is happening right in front of them.

"Firstly, 'you mobians', is a bit of a misrepresentation of things. Have you ever even seen an aquatic-based mobian on land save the barest of occasions? Because, in case you weren't aware, we have an entirely different culture than the land-based mobians where I'm from, meaning your wild assumptions don't even have merit to begin with.

So let's work with that, alright? No, clothes aren't really a thing we worry about too much in the ocean. We're more likely to just cause drag and slow us down. It's either a fashion statement or something worn above water to humor the land-dwellers. It's not like we have the parts to be 'indecent', per se, but it keeps people's panties from being in a twist.

As for education, another news flash for you. Don't particularly remember where I heard it from, but guess what? There's no gender in the ocean, genius. We just go with whatever is the most fitting at the time based on what we're told. You're technically talking to a 'female' right now, just out of spite for you."

A shrug of shoulders, twirling combat knife between digits at such speeds it sung through the air it sliced. ..Had Mimic always been so femininely in appearance? No, surely not, but there it was. Spite really did run deep for her, after all, and this was surely one of the most baffling things she's had to deal with. Just altering biology on the spot to fit the feeling of the moment. Maybe it's not best to ask the 'genderfluid' shapeshifting creature about gender norms.

"Finally, I don't even know why you decided to come to me as if I'd be the one to agree how ludicrous it is with you, champ. It doesn't matter who does and doesn't get an education to me, considering I come from a place where gender's not even really a factor. It's entirely a class and circumstantial privilege, rather than something tied to stupid concepts like 'gender' that is so valued by people with nothing better to caer about.

So how about you never show your face to me again and we'll just forget you ever existed, okay?"

CW: Low level sim spice - Guide to content warnings

Glenn: That was great and I'd love to just go to sleep like a normal person but I think I want to have a quick shower

Silver: *chuckling* Did I get you too messy already

Glenn pulled Silver up to where he could kiss him comfortably.

Glenn: Not at all but sweat tends to make me break out and I don't want to get all crusty

Silver: Fair point, I suppose I should wash up to then so I don't ruin your sheets

Glenn: Oh, you think you're sleeping in my bed do you? Very bold. You can use the washbasin since you're old and I've got dibs on the shower

Silver: I can't join you in the shower?

Glenn: *laughing* Definitely not now if ever, I have a whole washing routine that I am very loyal to

Glenn turned on the water and climbed right in while Silver washed down in the sink. It was amusing watching Glenn shower. He had several songs he would sing while he did it, and seemed to have parts of his routine that tied to particular verses or choruses. When Silver was clean he went back to the room to pull his underwear on and grab Glenn's discarded clothes. Back in the bathroom he closed his eyes and listened to Glenn's singing voice. It wasn't the best he'd heard but it was every bit as adorable as Glenn was.

Glenn: Can you pass my towel Silver

Silver opened his eyes and looked where Glenn was pointing. Grabbing it he went back and started drying Glenn.

Glenn: Uh, what are you doing

Silver: *smiles* Helping

Glenn: Very nice but try not to make me need another shower

Silver: No funny business, I promise

When Glenn was dry and dressed the pair hoped in bed and Glenn cuddled up close to Silver.

Glenn: I'm going to miss you when you're away

Silver: Yeah. Me to

Glenn: Do you think, maybe one day, you won't have to move around all the time? That you'll be okay being still?

Silver: I hope so

Glenn: Well I can wait. I think you're going to be worth it

Silver thought about the best way to reply but before he thought of a response Glenn was asleep. Part of him didn't want to leave, but while he felt safe with Glenn he still felt like he'd been in Willow Creek too long. A lifetime of being pursued by hunters was hard to shake.

In the morning he was extra quiet while he got his things together. Glenn looked so peaceful sleeping, he didn't want to disturb him. He searched the house for a pen and paper but couldn't find any. Did people not write letters anymore or just spellcasters? Taking one last look at Glenn he left, there was no time like the present to figure out the whole texting thing.

When Glenn woke up he wasn't startled at being alone, he normally woke up in an empty bed after all. But as he dozed the memories of the past few days came back, especially last night. Smiling he sat up and looked around but Silver's pack and sleeping bag were gone. He must have left already. Glenn felt a sadness in his heart again but it was different than the sadness after Grayson. While that had been a desolation this was more of a... lonely feeling. He didn't feel abandoned, or unloved, just by himself.

Propping himself up in bed he looked out the window. Despite the clouds it was peaceful today. He thought back on last night and smiled, trying to commit every moment to memory. In the corner one vial glowed pink from the channeled pleasure. That was good, he'd be able to talk to Henri about the potion today then.

*phone buzzes*

I apologise for leaving without a proper goodbye. You looked so peaceful Babycakes I didn't want to wake you up. I hope you enjoyed last night, I'm hoping we can do it again sometime, winky face. I know you told me how to put in a winky face but I forgot. Have a good day, chat tonight? Dearest wishes, Silver

Glenn lent forward in excitement. How to answer? He quickly ruled out chat language because explaining what lol meant would ruin whatever came before it.

That's okay, it takes time to break a habit right? I'll be right here when you get back. Well probably not in bed but still, you get what I mean. Remember to take pictures of the flowers for me okay?

How to sign off? Something flirty? Something proper? Something sincere? Give up and just send a picture of his pixel parts?

Enjoy your day, I can't wait to talk to you tonight and try to teach you the in and outs of emoji. Cuddles, Glenn

Somewhere far away Silver got the text and thought, what on earth is emoji?

A quick locating spell after breakfast told Glenn Henri was currently in the tower. Grabbing the ingredients he needed he headed off.

Glenn: Good morning Henri! Isn't it a great day

Henri: Yeah it is, I- wait, why are you so chipper? Last time I saw you were wrestling over the idea of harvesting pleasure alone. Did you finally figure it out

Glenn: I did yeah, one vial of pleasure, nice and fresh. By my calculations that means I have all the stuff I need for a potion of plentiful needs

Glenn handed the flask over and Henri studied it closely. Slowly a smile spread across his face and he looked up beaming.

Henri: So you found someone to help you eh? That's great! I'm glad you're leaving that other fellow behind you. You're a nice guy Glenn, you deserve good things

Glenn: What? How do you know I didn't just make it myself

Henri: *chuckling* I'm an artist Glenn. I take just as much care with my potion ingredients as I do when I'm making my pastries. The colour of pleasure differs slightly depending on how many people are involved in making it. I mean they're all shades of pink and red but the trained eye can tell them apart

Glenn: So it tells you I was with someone

Henri: And that they were a werewolf. Don't worry, I won't tell the twins if you don't

Glenn: *sighs* Oh I can only imagine their commentary on the matter

Henri: *chuckles* Best not spoken aloud

For the prompts!! How abooout..... some kind of secret or like sneaking around? But not in a cheaty way lol in a cute way

"Hey. You wanna go for a run?"

"Uh." Buck glances at his phone. He's curled up on the couch, still wearing the sweatpants he slept in. There are pillow creases on his cheek. It's a nice Saturday morning, early enough that Chris won't be up for another hour at least, and if he asked Eddie to stay, tried to convince him to give a different kind of cardio exercise a try, Eddie wouldn't need much convincing. Instead, Buck says, "Maybe not today? Tomorrow?"

"You didn't want to go yesterday either," Eddie points out. "Not every day can be arm day, Buck."

Buck's sleep-warm face twists into a smirk. "You like my arms."

"That's," Eddie clears his throat, and tears his eyes away from the arms in question, currently sticking out of an old gray t-shirt that's way too tight around Buck's shoulders. It must be one of Eddie's, and that—that adds a whole other layer. "That's not the point."

"Tomorrow," Buck offers again.

He says it like he expects Eddie to protest, like there's something—off, about tomorrow. Something Eddie should remember. Eddie wracks his brain for a solid minute, but he can't think of anything except,

"I'm not going running tomorrow. Tomorrow is gym day."

Buck smirks, clearly pleased with that answer for some impossible reason. Before Eddie can wonder about that, Buck gets to his feet and pulls him into a lingering, toothpaste-flavored kiss. 

"There's a treadmill at the gym."

He bites the words into Eddie's jawline and Eddie shivers, arms winding around Buck's waist to keep him close.

"Tomorrow," he confirms, against Buck's lips.

"Tomorrow."

"Okay," Eddie says, and pulls away. Buck chases his lips, which is its own kind of intoxicating, but Eddie stays strong. "I gotta go. Or I'm not leaving."

"If that's supposed to be a threat, it's not a good one," Buck says, but he lets Eddie go.

It's a nice September day, warm without being hot, breezy without being uncomfortable. Eddie gets his five miles in easily enough. When he gets home, Buck is still in the living room, still in his PJs. He's talking on his phone now, eyes shifty and voice hushed, and when Eddie enters the living room, he hangs up immediately, without so much as telling the person on the other end goodbye. 

"You're back!" he says, and where he was whispering just moments ago, his voice is too loud now, and the words come out too fast. 

"Yeah," Eddie says, coming to a halt a few steps away. "Who was that?"

"Bobby," Buck says. 

He holds Eddie's eyes when he says it, and Eddie shrugs. He has no reason not to believe him—this is Buck. Eddie trusts him with his life and with his heart.

Except—what if he got caught up in something bad, or—no. Buck would tell him. He doesn't do that kind of shit anymore. Not since the will. 

"What's for lunch?"

"Am I your 50s housewife?"

"Do you want to be?" Eddie smirks, and doesn't try to dodge the kick Buck aims at Eddie's shin, because he deserves it. 

"Chris requested Isabel's tamales," Buck informs him. "Thought I'd make enough that we'll have leftovers tomorrow."

There's that look again, like he expects Eddie to object. Eddie wouldn't dream of objecting. Ever since Isabel gave Buck her secret recipe a few months ago, Buck has been working hard to perfect it, and he's come pretty damn close. It's a pretty time-consuming dish for a random Saturday, but if Buck is up for it…

"Gotta listen to Chris."

"Uh huh." Buck gets up and stretches. His too-tight t-shirt rides up and Eddie's eyes get stuck on the stripe of skin it reveals. "You have no skin in this game, huh?"

"None," Eddie confirms, and leans in to kiss Buck's cheek.

It's a short way from Buck's cheek to his neck, and Buck lets him play for a minute, before strong hands find Eddie's shoulders and push him back, gently but firmly. 

"You're gross. Go take a shower."

Eddie doesn't even pretend to be offended. "Join me?"

Buck looks between his phone and the bathroom door and Eddie, and throws the phone on the couch. "Race you."

The next morning, when Eddie is getting dressed for the gym, he can tell from the strange look on Buck's face that he's going to be alone again. 

Eddie turns away from their closet mirror, away from Buck's reflection, and faces the man himself. He looks good, tangled up in their sheets on Eddie's side of the bed, but that's not enough to distract Eddie. Not today. 

"Come on."

"Sorry," Buck says immediately, propping himself up on his elbows. "I know I said—but I just didn't sleep well." He's interrupted when his phone dings, discarded on the nightstand. "Sorry. Tomorrow. Promise."

Eddie wasn't that disappointed to begin with (though he does love watching Buck work out), but when Buck tells him that he didn't sleep well, any other emotion he might have been feeling is replaced by concern. "Are you okay? Nightmares?"

"No, no. I'm okay." Buck reaches for him, grabs Eddie's wrist to pull him closer, to pull him down, to kiss his cheek. "I'm okay. Promise. Have fun, yeah?"

He gives Eddie a little shove, and Eddie goes, but his head isn't in it today. He's lucky he doesn't pull a muscle, because the whole time he's at the gym, his thoughts are back home, circling around Buck's strange behavior. 

What if he is in some kind of trouble after all? Or worse—what if he's sick? After the clot, Eddie wants to believe that Buck wouldn't hide a health issue, but he can't be sure, and what if— 

By the time he gets back home, he has all but convinced himself that something is wrong. It's Sunday, though, so that means Chris is home, and Eddie can't really stage an intervention. That's fine. He's going to give Buck until tomorrow to tell him, and if he's still keeping Eddie in the dark then—shit. 

Eddie barely wants to think that far. They haven't had a real fight since that day in the grocery store. He really doesn't want to break that streak. 

He's frowning to himself when he unlocks the front door. He doesn't want to have a fight, but if Buck doesn't tell him, then Eddie will have to find out for himself. Because if Buck is in some kind of trouble, if Buck needs help, then—

"Surprise!"

Eddie freezes. His living room is filled with people. Front and center stands Buck, smiling brightly, and right next to him Chris, who's left his teenage scowl in the closet for once. 

"What—" Eddie starts. 

"Told you he forgot," Buck tells Chris, who sighs heavily. 

"How do you forget your own birthday?"

And it's not that Eddie forgot. It's just that there's been a lot going on, between work and therapy and raising a teenager and—

Buck's smile is as blinding as the September sun. "You gonna come and hug us or what?"

Eddie doesn't have to be told twice. He's suddenly very fucking glad he took a shower at the gym. He crosses the room with two large strides and hugs them both like they're his lifelines, because they are. 

A birthday party. They're throwing him a birthday party. 

"This is what all the sneaking around was about?"

Buck pulls back and gives him a smile, apologetic and still beautiful. "Thought I was being subtle."

Eddie laughs, loud and bright, relief and gratitude washing the fear from his bones.

"Not even a little bit," he says. "Jesus Christ."

He releases his boys and looks around the room, at everyone else, at his family. 

"Told you we shouldn't have let Buck plan it," Chim says, but his smile takes the sting out of his words. 

Hen snorts. "You suck at keeping a secret even worse than he does."

Maddie is the first to come forward, hugging him while Chim and Hen continue to bicker. "Happy birthday, Eddie."

"There's cake out back," Bobby adds, a dozen hugs later, when Eddie is feeling warmer than he has all day. 

"Cake!" Jee-Yun yells, making her priorities clear, and Eddie can't fault her. 

He ruffles her dark hair and smiles when she giggles. "Let's go."

Somewhere between the living room and the backyard, Buck's hand finds Eddie's. 

"So? Was it a good surprise?"

Eddie exhales a grateful breath and leans in to kiss his temple. "Don't do that again. I was worried."

"Sorry," Buck mutters, and he sounds like he means it, and Eddie loves him. 

"But yes," Eddie adds. "It was a good surprise."

Buck lights up as the guilt melts away, and he raises Eddie's hand to his mouth and brushes his lips across Eddie's knuckles. "I love you."

"I love you more."

"It's your birthday. So I guess I'll let you get away with that."

"Damn right you will," Eddie says, and tugs him through the backdoor into the bright morning. "Come on. I've heard there's cake."

Sweatshirt, K. Junghoon

kim junghoon x reader

genre: fluff, a bit of angst

warnings: none

a/n: I wrote this in class. then I wonder why do i fail physics...

I hurriedly opened the door of the big building and went room by room handing out the drinks to the dancers. Working in a cafeteria might be easier if my boss hadn't insisted on taking take-out orders.

I quickly entered the last room to finish my day's work, when someone bumped into me, knocking over the coffee cups I was holding. I cursed inwardly, was nothing going well?

"Are you okay?" I asked, worried.

"Ye-yes, don't worry" He said seeing how his clothes were stained with coffee. The person turned out to be a guy who looked about my age, though a bit taller.

After that, he took off his sweatshirt and left it on a bench, then left without another word. I was stunned. Is it the new fashion to leave your clothes lying around? In the end I let it go, although I took his sweatshirt to wash it at home, I would find a time to give it back to him.

...............

"I don't know how you think of these things, Eunji," I said as I closed the door to my flat.

"You won't regret it. I have an eye for these things" She said, winking at me.

Double dates. If single dates weren't good enough for me, imagine if, apart from my date, there were two other people. I didn't even want to think about it.

We arrived at the establishment five minutes before the agreed time, so we preferred to wait for the guys outside.

"Eunji!!!" The shout of a male voice was heard from across the road, and we both lifted our heads from our mobiles.

"Seeun, how are you?" Greeted my friend to who was probably her date "This is Yn, the girl I told you about"

Well, it wasn't her date.

"Hi, nice to meet you" He said with a handshake.

"Nice to meet you too" I replied with a smile, until I saw Eunji's real date.

Indeed, it was that boy.

Although I was surprised, I didn't say anything, as it might make him uncomfortable.

Anyways, the dinner went pretty well. We all talked a lot, except him. I guessed he would be shy. Quite the opposite of Seeun, who talked his head off. I liked him well enough.

On the way out, I debated whether to go talk to the guy from the other day or not, but decided to go for it.

"Ummm..." I whispered with a touch on his arm, which made him startle " Do you remember me?"

"Sorry, can you speak a little louder?" He asked a little chagrined.

"Ah, yes" I said, raising my tone "I don't know if you remember me, but I'm the girl from the other day, the one from the coffee" He nodded, looking quickly into my eyes "Your sweatshirt is in my flat.... When can I give it to you?"

"Ehh..." He thought "I'm going to be at the dance studio tomorrow, if you want you can leave it there".

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow" I said goodbye with a smile, and he waved his hand. "Cute" I thought.

The walk home was silent, I couldn't get the image of the boy out of my head.

"Soooo" Eunji snapped me out of my thoughts "What do you think of Seeun?"

"He's very nice, if a little too outgoing for my taste.I think he suits you more" I said, elbowing her.

"Well, I like Junghoon very much" She said with a smile "Although he's a bit difficult to talk to.... But that's okay".

"Is it because he's shy?" I asked "You know, I bumped into him the other day and that's why I was talking to him just now".

"No way! He's not the guy you threw the coffee at?" She exclaimed.

"That's the one. But I didn't throw it at him, I tripped and spilled it" I said, excusing myself.

And before we knew it, we were home.

"Well, I'll talk to you tomorrow" Eunji said "Goodnight!"

"See you tomorrow" Although for me it wasn't too good, because I spent the whole night thinking about that shy boy.

..........

The next day I went first thing in the morning to the place I had agreed with the boy to leave his sweatshirt.

When I went in, I asked which room Junghoon was in, and then I went to this one.

When I knocked on the door and got no answer, I went in myself, finding the dark-haired boy training. He looked like a totally different person. His expression was one of complete concentration and confidence, unlike the day before. That surprised me.

"Yn" Whispered Junghoon, who hadn't seen me yet.

"Good morning" I said, with a higher tone of voice than usual "Here's your sweatshirt".

"Thank you" He grabbed the bag the garment was in.

"I think it's going to smell really strong on you, I used my mum's detergent instead of mine..." I apologized.

"It's okay!" He exclaimed, before sniffing the sweatshirt and wrinkling his nose. I let out a laugh.

"By the way, you dance really well" I praised him "You looked like a whole other person, it was amazing!"

His cheeks took on a slight pink colour. "Thank you so much" He said with a small smile. "Cute" I thought, again.

"Someday you can teach me" I suggested.

"I don't have anything to do today, if you want you can stay" Though he quickly seemed to regret proposing that.

"Really?" I asked, wildly smiling "But I don't have any sports clothes on..."

"I can let you borrow mine" He proposed "I don't think it would be too big for you, we're about the same height, you're very tall..."

"Yeah, I get that a lot" I laughed.

Yes, the clothes fit me almost perfectly.

And so, with laughter, we spent the whole morning. Junghoon was really different when it came to dancing.

"I think I should go, it's late" I said looking at the clock on the wall "Where should I leave your clothes?"

"You can take it with you" He pointed at me "We are all supposed to meet tomorrow" He reminded referring to Eunji and Seeun "You can give it to me there".

"Looks like I'm going to be keeping your clothes every day" I said, making Junghoon chuckle under his breath. For the first time I realised how cute his laugh is. Soft, subtle. I should make him laugh more.

"Shall I join you?" His usual shyness took over his body again "If you want."

"Sure!" And the two of us walked out to the front door, where we were met by a boy who seemed to know Junghoon.

"What's up, Junghoon?" He asked.

"Hey!" The boy looked at me, confused "It's Yn, a friend" 'Friend'.didn't sound good when he said it.

"Hi, I'm Minjae" He said "What are you doing here?

"This morning I came to give something to Junghoon and I ended up staying" I replied, a little embarrassed "I'm going home now. See you tomorrow, Hoon" I said goodbye with a light squeeze on the shoulder and headed back to my destination, leaving a blushing Junghoon on the way.

..........

The next day the four of us met again, this time for a walk and to do some shopping.

I handed Junghoon his trousers and T-shirt and we talked while Seeun and Eunji didn't arrive. The two of us had a great time together.

All along the walk we both gave each other glances from time to time, making us giggle.

And it went on like that for a couple of months, until we decided to meet separately. It was raining heavily that day and Seeun and I agreed to go to a shopping centre.

I was quite distracted looking for a present for Junghoon, as his birthday was coming up soon and I wanted to get him something. To tell you the truth, the last few days all I could think about was him.

"Yn" Seeun called out to her "You like my friend, don't you?" I was startled by the sudden question, but there was no hint of annoyance in the boy's voice, which surprised me.

"Yes..." I affirmed, looking him in the eyes. The truth was that I didn't dislike Seeun at all, in fact, I was very fond of him and I didn't want to lose him as my best friend "Seeun, I..."

"Don't worry" He interrupted me "It's alright, I already knew that. I've known Junghoon for a long time and I'm sure he likes you too. He keeps talking about you these days, you know?"

"But, you..."

"I didn't ask you about me, Yn" He said with a sincere smile "Well, I guess you have some unfinished business, don't you?" He gave me his umbrella along with a push "Get that boy!"

I ran off towards the cafeteria where Eunji and Junghoon were supposed to be, but no one was there. My last resort was to go to the dance academy, and that's where I found him, sheltering from the rain.

"Jungh..."

"I like you!" he shouted "I like you a lot, Yn!" I could tell he was on the verge of tears...Or was it the rain? Well, whatever.

"Junghoon..."

"Date me, please. I'll teach you all the dances you want, I'll take you to many places, I'll let you wear all the clothes you want, I'll make you v..."

Before I could finish, Junghoon was interrupted by my wet lips. I quickly placed my hand behind the back of his neck. He froze for a few seconds, then brought his hands to my cheeks and cupped my face. The kiss was slow and inexperienced, as neither of us had ever kissed before. Breaking away to breathe, the boy lowered his head, but I grabbed his chin and made him look at me.

"I like you too" I confessed with flushed cheeks "I do want to go out with you".

Suddenly, a clapping started to be heard. Startled, we both broke apart to see the silhouette of a boy.

Minjae had seen the whole thing and was ready to tease us both for the rest of our lives.

Chapter 4

It's come to the end of the evening and Jason has left so many hints that it's getting ridiculous. Do I sleep with him just to shut him up or do I reject him again. "I'm glad you had a nice evening MC, I wanted to make it special for you. Would you like to come back to my place for a night cap?" I stop and think about it for a moment still not sure what to say I end up blurting out a yes. "Yes okay I'll come back with you" I can see how excited he is. I hope he knows it's just a night cap and nothing else. We arrived back at his place the whole way. He had a big grin on his face. I keep telling myself I won't let it happen but how long can I keep saying no for? Jason's gone into the kitchen to grab us both something to drink.

I look around his apartment and it's quite nice. Everything is its own place, not a single thing out of place. Everything just looks too neat; it's almost like he's got OCD. I see him coming back out of the kitchen with two drinks in his hand. "Here you go MC" Jason hands me a drink. I drink the warm brown liquid. I can feel it burning the back of my throat as it goes down. "Why don't we take a seat my love" I walk towards the sofa and sit down quickly followed by Jason. I can see that look in his eyes again, the look of hope that I will finally say yes. He moves closer towards me and puts his arm around my waist "you look lovely sitting here MC" he moves even closer and tries to kiss me. I managed to dodge the kiss by lifting the glass up to my lips and taking a drink. I down my drink in one go and put the glass down on the coffee table "I really should get going, it's getting late and I have work in the morning" I see the look of hope slowly disappear from his eyes.

I walk towards the door and I feel Jason's hand take hold of my wrist and spin me around. "Please don't go MC, I was hoping to take things to the next level" I look into his eyes and in that moment I just throw logic out of the window and kiss him. Our clothes start to fly off, we don't even make it to the bedroom, we end up doing it on the sofa. I wake up a few hours later Jason is out for the count. I get up and quickly get dressed and get out of his apartment without him noticing I close the door behind me and head home. While I'm walking home I send Jason a text telling him I had to leave so I could change for work in the morning.

MC: Hi Jason, sorry I left before you woke up but I needed to get home so I could shower and change for work. Talk soon x

I shove my phone back in my purse and carry on walking home. It doesn't take me long to reach my apartment. I can't wait to get inside and curl up under the covers. I know I lied to him about work. I have a few days off but I needed to get out of there. What am I gonna tell Jake? Should I even tell him about this? I mean we aren't dating anymore we are just friends but when he came round and we slept together. It was like we had never broken up; it was just me and him back together at that moment. I try to shake the thoughts from my head but they just keep going back to Jake. My heart is saying one thing and my brain is telling me another. I grab my phone and text Jessy. Only she can help me with this problem.

MC: Jessy can you come round I need your help

Jessy: morning to you to MC sure I can come round I can be there in about an hour

MC: thanks Jessy see you soon x

An hour later I was sitting in my living room talking to Jessy. I told her everything that had happened. "It's clear you still love him MC so why not just tell him" I sit and think about what Jessy said. "I want to but I think he's already moved on, he's with Emma now" we sit and talk some more for the next couple of hours just as I'm saying goodbye to Jessy my phone starts to ring. I walk over and pick it up. It's Jason I don't bother to answer and let it ring. "You can't avoid him forever MC you're gonna have to tell him how you truly feel" I look over at Jessy who's standing near the door. I know she's right. "I know, I'll ring him back and tell him" Jessy smiles back at me and we say our goodbyes. "Right MC it's now or never you can do this" I gear myself up to phone Jason back and tell him it's over.

MC: Hi Jason, sorry I missed your call. What's up?

Jason: I just wanted to make sure you got home okay, I'm sorry I wasn't awake to say goodbye

MC: it's okay don't worry about it Jason look I need to tell you something

Jason: before you do I need to say something to you I've been thinking about this for some time now and well I love you MC

I was completely stunned he actually went there i can't believe he really went there

MC: look Jason, I'm sorry but I think we should break up it's just not working I'm sorry

Jason: but I love you MC, your all I think about please give me another chance

MC: I'm sorry Jason but it's over goodbye

I hang up the phone and walk back into the bedroom. I curl up under the covers and fall asleep. I woke up a few hours later. I look at the time and it's almost 3pm when I look at my phone there are so many messages and missed calls from Jason. I didn't bother to reply, instead I decided to text Jake.

MC: Hey you, how did your big date go last night?

Jake: Hey MC, it went alright I ended up sleeping with her

MC: I guess that makes two of us then I ended up sleeping with Jason last night when I woke up I got dressed and ran out of his apartment.

Jake: I kind of did the same I left Emma a note and got the hell out of there

MC: I guess we are as bad as each other then

Jake: I wasn't even planning on sleeping with her it just kind of happened she told me something and it completely threw me off

MC: What did she tell you?

Jake: She told me that she's fallen in love with me, I didn't say it back to her I was too much in shock.

MC: I guess we are both going through the same thing, Jason told me he loves me instead of saying it back I broke up with him

Jake: You broke up with him? I'm not sorry you broke up with him I'm kind of glad you did

MC: I didn't think you would be ;) why don't you come round and I can help you forget about what's happened

Jake: How can I say no, see you soon MC ;)

I put my phone down and a smile spreads across my face. I'm so excited to see Jake again. It feels like forever since I last saw him. He really is the only one that I love. It's just will we ever work as a couple again. I guess time will tell if we can make it work again, that's if he even wants to but for now I'm just going to have some fun.

Jake barley gets on the apartment when our lips crash down onto each other and our hands are all over each other. There is so much heat and passion between us it's like the first time we first met we couldn't control ourselves. We just make it to the bedroom, our clothes flying off around the room we both fall back on the bed still kissing each other. A few hours later we are both cuddled up in each other's arms. I can't help but smile. I feel so safe when I'm in Jake's arms. He's so amazing. "I was thinking of ordering some Chinese. Would you like to join me?" Jake looks up at me with his beautiful ocean blue eyes. "I'd love to MC"

Jake and I had an amazing night. He ended up staying over. It was the best feeling in the world. It was soon cut short when he had to leave Emma had wanted him to go out with her and I told him he should go. "Jake it's okay I will still be here waiting for you" Jake smiled at me and kissed me softly on the lips. "I will text you later okay I'm gonna miss you" my heart melted at his words. "I'm gonna miss you two"

When Jake left I got a text from Jason begging me for another chance he invited me out to dinner so we could talk. Undecided of what to do I text back and say yes what a stupid move that was. I guess I'm gonna have to break his heart all over again only this time at least there will be alcohol. Later that night I got myself dressed up once again to meet Jason at the black swan. When I arrive he's already sitting at the table. I walk over and join him. While we are looking at the menu Jake and Emma walk on and are seated right next to us.

re: hard character dev questions, let’s do 4, 14 & 41 for theodora & another character of your choice! maybe someone you think is most unlike her …

Thank you n. for the question and to answer it I'm going with the heir and the spare. Because they might be siblings but Macsen and Theo are not the same they're both built different.

#4 Has your character ever witnessed something that fundamentally changed them? If so, does anyone else know? Fundamentally for both Macsen and Theo, it was their mother's death that caused a seismic shifts in both of them. I've alluded to it but never said it directly or maybe I have, but I have gotten to the point where it's been shown. But Isobel made the active decision not to tell her kids, she was dying. She wanted to make the most of her time and make good memories. She didn't want them to be filled with this looming dread about when she was going to meet her end and so nothing was said until it was no longer avoidable. For both of them it was like being blindsided with the news that your mother is dying and you need to say goodbye now. It's a fucked position to put a teenage boy and small child in but Hamish went along with it because it was his wife's dying wish and so that was it.

Now Macsen loved being the heir because he loved the attention, he was loved and he was lusted after. The world was his but the thing was, he never liked the responsibility part that sucked. While his mom was alive while he was expected to take private lessons on what it meant to be heir and one day future monarch, life wasn't hard. Sometimes you do engagements but mostly live it up because this shit isn't gonna matter for years to come. That changed when his mom died and he realized what it meant to dedicate your life to service. This is the only profession in the world where someone has to die to get promoted. He didn't want to die for this, he doesn't want his dad to die. So for him, he realized he didn't love his country or the crown enough to die and in his cowardice was more then okay to drop the burden on his sister's shoulders.

Theo was eight when her mom died and when she has to think about that day again, she feels bitter almost angry about everything. All those happy members are now tinged with just sadness because it would have been better to know. She understand her parents where trying to protect them but she feels it did the opposite. Her mother's unexpected death has left her with this need to know what's going on. She hates with a passion dishonesty in any flavor but especially when there's lying even by omission because she knows sometimes not saying anything lasting effects on her life especially. It's why she resents Macsen and will never really trust him again. They went through the same pain of being left out of the loop but he was willing to do it himself again to her because he couldn't handle the pressure of his birthright and felt the need to jump ship leave the burden on her shoulders and she just really fucking hates the fact he just couldn't be honest with her.

They're both stuck with this idea of a stiff upper lip and so the people and those around them, either assume their mother's death effected them or that they're handling it very well but everyone knows that they've experienced loss on a global stage.

#14 Does your character remember names or faces easier? If Theo can remember your face the odds are high she'll remember your name. Macsen always remembers a face and the names of those that were nice him and the things you might have given him. This is more in his personal life, he likes presents so really he'll remember you if you gave him something.

#41 Does your character feel that they deserve to have what they want, whether it be material or abstract, or do they feel they must earn it first? Macsen is not the person to have a conversation about privilege with because he just doesn't get it and probably won't mostly by choosing to remain ignorant. He never had a hard time enjoying the spoils of being the heir to a powerful throne. He fucking loved it and if it wasn't for the fact he'd have to be king one day, he would have stayed the heir forever. Because he loves being loved. However since his choice to give it all up and the fact people aren't necessarily all that happy with him, it hurts and he is jealous that all the love and admiration belongs to his little sister now. He really don't understand much less think he deserves everyone's ire for deciding to chose a path for himself. Shouldn't they be happy for him?

Unlike her brother, Theo is not nearly self absorbed enough to believe she deserves everything she has This is because she won the lottery, this life is result of a game of chance. She knows she doesn't actually deserve this but this is her life and so she might as well make the most of it and do what she can to do something of actual note. When it comes to be the first in line for the throne, she knows she doesn't deserve it. It's not even hers, but it is now. It keeps her up at night what it means to be the heir and sometimes she thinks it's gonna crush her because it wasn't hers to begin with but it is now. I don't think she'll ever think she earned her life much less the throne. She was just there and circumstances changed leaving her the unfortunate chosen one for the role.

☆ hawk talk 8/21/23 ☆

um so not gonna say a lot bc i woke up like two minutes ago to blow my nose and i already want to go back to sleep bc oversleeping is my disease now

so my apologies if this is like bad and short

i'm just very tired and woke up In the middle of the night and wanted to do something

um okay science!!

i had a sore throat this morning and i still had it during science so i wasn't that awake

BUT

Mr. E asked what a rube goldberg machine was and my hand darted up so fast and it was lowkey such a xander hawthorne moment <3

and when i answer questions, my science class doesn't all turn their heads to me !!

it really helps my anxiety when people aren't looking directly at my face during public speaking

many turned their bodies and/or ears to me but there was no eye contact

ik it seems miniscule to them, but i really appreciate it

oh and this bitch doesn't wanna work on the part of the project i told her to do

like i already did the writing portion so in order for everyone to do something,, her and emers need to do the drawing

and the bitch was shit at it

but it won't bring my grade down or anything bc if u don't do anything in the group, (her idea of doing smth is "giving the idea in the first place") u don't get any credit

so then i got to math

lanie came up to me and gave back my copy of the outsiders that i lent her. she said she like the book !!

um and then we had to do these state mandated tests

that wasn't actually as difficult as i thought it would be??

it was cool

and then on my way to lunch ben comes up from behind me and is like

b: i didn't know you had split lunch?

m: yeah on even days i have first lunch

b: huh i looked and hadn't seen you in the cafeteria

m: *chuckles* oh yeah i've seen you

*kinda longish pause*

b: where do you sit?

m: wherever there's room 🤷‍♀️

b: i sit way in the back near-

m: near the bathrooms?

b: yeah (think i might've freaked him out a little bc apparently observing people since i have no friends at first lunch is weird ig??)

b: this uh one guy i sit with at lunch is cool and all but *groans and kinda paused bc he's annoyed* makes the CORNIEST JOKES like i think he's cool and all but LIKE- *cuts himself off* (and then he sorta rambled a lil, It was cute)

so we ended up sitting across from each other on that corner table and it was nice

didn't talk much since there was a group of girls on the left of me in a conversation with him for a bit and i didn't wanna interrupt

so i just observed and i tried not to observe too much so yeah

but everytime they were done talking to him we kept showing each other these tiktoks

AND HE SHOWED ME A FEW CAT TIKTOKS SO I THINK HE MIGHR BE AN ENJ9YER OF GATITOS ✨️✨️

CNRJFJRHGJRJGHRHHJFJFJ

..okay i am calm now.

so then we said our goodbyes anddd yeah

OH MY GOD SO THE GIRL NEXT TO ME IN BROADCAST IS ASIAN-LATINA AND I LOVE HER

THERE'S A TOKEN GRINGA AT EVERY TABLE I SIT IN IN ALL MY CLASSES AND I'M SO GLAD SHE ISN'Y ANOTHER ONE

SO ME AND THE GUY ACROSS FROM ME ARE MEXICAN AND SHE (HER NAME IS RY) IS DOMINICAN SO HELL YEAH

and then wr have the token gringa who gets mad we call her that because she's "part german and russian"

like bitch you white

sucks for you

(yes, ik, russia is technically part of asia but she said a very low percentage so yeah we call her gringa)

ANYWAY

ME AND RY WERE LITERALLY ON THE CLASSROOM FUCKING FLOOR DYING BC WE STARTED TALKING BOUT OUR DADS AND HISPANIC CULTURE AND EVERYTHING

and then class ended :(

OH AND WE HAD TO DO A RECORDING OF THE LINCH MENU AND I RECORDED SO MUCH HALLWAY TEA 👀 👀

and THEN class ended :(

and then we got to color a little project in science lab bc my teacher is lovely and she adores me <3

Eddie Brock - Two losers are worth more than one

Warning : talking about brain eating, light mention of sex once, purchaging alcohol (no consuption), a little bit of overthinking/anxiety

Genre : fluff

Synopsis : "Eddie finds it hard to get back to dating after his longest and most stable relationship ended"

Reader : male (he/him)

A/N : in bold is Venom talking. // 1k67 words

When you're slowly trying to adjustate to a new chaotic life with a cannibalistic symbiote, you try to find stability anywhere you can. 

Staying in touch with Anne was nice, but weird. Especially when Venom would try to find ways to win her back. Eddie could not really blame him, he was well aware Venom knew how he felt and despite wanting to move on, a part of him was still attached to her. But he was working on that, slowly learning to appreciate a certain routine.

Every few days as the sun slowly makes its exit, he'd enter Mrs Chen's store and quickly salute her while still conversing with Venom ; the same old banter about what to eat. Like almost always now, Eddie would spot you as he moves to another aisle and you would share a few words.

You met a few months ago when you were both heading to pay for your items and talked a little. You wouldn’t say you became friends right away but you did get along enough to acknowledge each other each time you met after that.

You learned about Venom when one day you saw a head grow out of Eddie’s neck to tell him to hurry up, too hungry to patiently wait until the end of the discussion. Although you froze for a few seconds trying to wrap your mind about what you were seeing, you still slowly waved at the head, confusion written all over your face. Surely if you stay friendly, the very toothy head thing will be friendly too, right ?

Eddie shooed him -Venom ?- off and quickly tried to explain as you stared at where the head disappeared. He started rambling about eating brains, having chickens and biting Snookie, which made you more confused at times than anything. The man cringed at how weird and crazy it all sounded but he was mainly surprised you didn't run away before he could even finish talking.

"Okay. Nice to meet you too Venom" you said as Eddie smiled awkwardly, probably trying to not make it any weirder. He did not see the meeting with the same eyes as Venom ; while one big tendril was waving you goodbye, Eddie was already coming to terms with never seeing you ever again. "He will come back" "No he won't" "Yes he will" "Nope, not anymore, you made sure of that."

But they did see you again which made Eddie quite happy despite Venom being salty about what he told him the other day. You did not really understand why he angrily whispered what seemed like an apology but you preferred not to ask.

You continued seeing them both and you're not sure which one of them was most excited to see you, always finding more things to say and share with you. They liked seeing you even if it was just for a few minutes. In the end they would always go back to Eddie's place in a much lighter mood, already looking forward to the next time.

Venom was the first one to point it out, mainly to have the last word but to also stop stagnating. "What does he have to do with the remote ?" "I don't know, you tell me !" "I- what ?" Eddie looked slightly to the side as if to look at the symbiote before continuing with an exasperated low voice "You don't make any sense, man."

He groaned, rubbing his face for a few seconds which allowed Venom to grab the remote and change the channel with a tendril. His face still in his hands he finally continued "I lost my remote privileges because- I enjoy talking to him ? Is that what you're implying ?"

"We enjoy talking to him, aaaaaand… ?" but nothing came out of Eddie despite desperately trying to find the answer, making Venom sigh in annoyance.

"Fine ! Listen carefully. I'll go slowly for your small brain" "Uh-huh, okay, thanks very much" "Focus ! When a person and another person like one another. What do they do, Eddie ?"

Silence.

"They make babies ? You know I already know tha-" "No !" Venom screams, reaching his breaking point. "Ask him on a date !" "No !" "Fine I'll do it myself. And we'll make sweet love without you !" "No you won't !"

Their banter continued for a few more minutes until Venom managed to get Eddie to admit he likes you. "Ahhhh ! You admitted it- Here's a treat for a good boy !" is all he said, placing the remote back in his hands and patting his head before disappearing, done trying to resonate with his host.

Eddie tried to get him to continue but only got the cold shoulder in return. "Fine."

He let out a sigh and thought for a moment before finally telling Venom why he was against the idea. It's not that he doesn't like you, he really does but he's afraid it wouldn't end well. Anne likes being with Dan because he makes her feel safe, would they be able to make you feel safe ?

He makes choices without thinking and that's what made Anne lose her job and leave him, he doesn't want to repeat that with you.

His apartment is a mess, trash and crumbs everywhere covering the floor, large holes in the ceiling, chicken shit and feathers at the most random places, multiple traces of fire. It can be cleaned, but life with him and Venom is far from calm and peaceful. Would you be okay with that ? 

Venom was less hesitant than Eddie but he could understand him. Still, the symbiote has never liked doing nothing and he wanted Eddie happy. So he simply tried to get him to not think about the long term but the short term.

Just thinking about going on a nice little date with you. Having a good time together eating at a restaurant. Seeing what happens and slowly working with that so it stays enjoyable for the three of you.

So here they were, trying to somewhat clean the apartment, Eddie said it was to gain some sort of motivation but Venom was well aware it was just to buy himself some time. He decided to let it slide, giving the man some time to calm down and think. God, Eddie didn't even know if you were interested in them. Are you ? Wouldn’t you find it weird with some gooey alien ? You didn’t seem to have a problem with Venom given how quickly you befriended him- but maybe that’s where you drew the line ?

Eddie had a week to make a move or Venom would take over him and do it, that’s what the symbiote said but they both know it was just empty threats. Or at least Eddie hoped so.

You were about to leave Mrs Chen’s store, when they saw you, watching you shove beer cans in your front pockets and stuffing your other ones with random bags of snacks hurriedly. You noticed them as you stepped away from the counter, letting out a “Oh !” quickly followed with “Shit I really don’t have time, I have friends over- wait-” you said as you thought for a second about what to do. You immediately turned back toward the counter and grabbed the pen reserved for signing checks to scribble something on your receipt and shoved it inside Eddie’s hand, storming out before he could ask you what it was.

He locked eyes with Mrs Chen who hurried him to check the note, not really wanting to feed the woman’s curiosity he pushed it in his jean’s pocket and moved back to his initial goal : buying booze and food. He couldn’t help but find it amusing how she threw him the stink eyes when he walked out a few minutes later.

Venom on the other side was absolutely ecstatic. What was on the paper ? Your address ? An invitation ? Love confession ? What was it !? He needed to know and he kept pestering Eddie to read it, even digging in his pocket for it, throwing everything else that was on the way.

Proudly holding it up once he found it, silently reading the paper before exclaiming “Coordinates ! But they look weird. And there’s a… sign ?” Eddie looked over in confusion and simply explained it was your phone number with an unfinished smiley face as he tried to remain unbothered despite his heart picking up speed.

As soon as he set everything he was holding on the table, Venom was already urging him to text you. No, to call you. No- even better, facetime you.

Instead of doing that, Eddie simply focused on sorting the groceries, purposely ignoring him so he could calm his nerves a little bit. But Venom refused to wait any longer, grabbing Eddie’s phone and shoving it into his face with the piece of paper, giving him no choice.

He reluctantly unlocked it, slowly saving in your contact as he made sure to not press the wrong digits. He wasn’t even sure if he knew how to read numbers correctly anymore. Is his definition of numbers the same as other people or are they the same for everyone ? Is 1 really a 1 and is it really placed before 2 ?

“Okay, okay, it’s saved” he said, showing him the screen as he relaxed a little bit. Now he just needed to find what to send you- Oh, not anymore. Venom had nicely decided to ruin that by sending you "iyd05 ft y” and “yee6.fu", making Eddie’s heart drop. “Why did you do that ! Why ?! Do you ever stop and think befor-” “He answered” Venom said, making him look at the screen. “That’s a little bit too straight forward, invite me to a dinner first ;)”

Eddie just chuckled nervously, he really had no idea how to do this anymore, huh ?

out of the blue , tyson jost

note, i am in denial and spain without the s, as we all know, so this was written because i was in pain and mourning. this is decided to @jostystyles because we are all still in mourning. pair, tyson jost x reader summary, the trade and the aftermath. warnings, the trade word count, 1046 words

(gif not mine)

"What do you mean?"

"Have you not checked Twitter?"

"No, I just got home from walking Bruno. You got traded?" You asked, your voice soft and scared.

"Yeah." He sounded nervous.

"How are you not, like, crying? I'm ready to burst into tears."

"It's either staying calm or crying. I'll pick not-crying for now." He sighed, "I'll be home soon."

"You can't even play tonight." You pouted.

"I'll see you soon. We'll talk more then."

"I'll see you soon. I love you."

"I love you, too."

-

3 hours later, Tyson was walking through the front door of your home. Bruno ran up to him, tail wagging and tongue sticking out, "Hi, dude."

You stood up and waited for him to be done. He looked up, before kissing Bruno once more, then standing up, "Hi."

"So, by traded, you mean..."

"To another team." He nodded.

"Where?" You asked, almost not wanting the answer.

"Minnesota." He answered.

"The Wild? Their colors are red and green, you can't even see them." You pointed out.

"I know, that's gonna be a little bit of a problem." He nodded.

"When do you leave?"

"Soon."

You felt like you were gonna fall over, so pulled out a kitchen chair and sat down, "Hey, hey, we're gonna be okay. Everything's gonna be okay." He tried to reassure you.

"That's, like, the worst thing you could say to me right now." The lump in your throat was on the verge of breaking, "I know this isn't about me, but-"

"I get it." He nodded, wrapping his arms around you, kissing your shoulder, "It's not gonna be easy. But we're gonna get through it. Together."

"That was so cliche."

"I think it's all those chick-flicks we've been watching." He joked.

You laughed, feeling a little better. You pulled away, "It's gonna be different, but we'll be together, so it's won't be so bad." He laughed when you made a face, "What? That one was better."

You shook your head, before looking back at him, "It'll be good for us. Change of scenery."

"That's the spirit."

-

A few hours later, Tyson was saying goodbye to you and Bruno again and getting on his flight to Minnesota. You wanted to go with him, but you had prior commitments, so you settled at home for his first game as a Wild.

Since you still had yet to gather Wild merch, you settled on the couch with Bruno, repping your Avs merch.

Bruno was sitting next to you, his head on your leg, "Look, there's dad." You pointed. Bruno's head perked up when he saw Tyson on the screen, and he hopped off the couch, standing in front of the TV, staring at it as they got a few close-up shots.

"Yeah, go dad!" You cheered as Bruno barked.

It was an eventful game and although Tyson was wearing a different set of colors, he was still Tyson. He was the same hardworking, dedicated guy you knew and loved.

You called him right after the game, "You watched?"

"Tyson Jost, what kind of question is that?" You rolled your eyes.

"When you get here, I'll get you a new jersey."

"I don't want one. I like my old one." You frowned.

"I know, but I gotta get you an updated one. Wrong colors."

"You don't get to be 17?"

"Sadly I can't take Folingo's number."

"Fine, but we're not getting rid of any of it."

"Promise. We'll frame it and hang it up."

"That sounds nice."

-

A few days later, everything you needed to get done in Colorado was done, so you packed up the essentials (leaving everything else for moving day) and got on a plane with Bruno to Minnesota.

When you got off the plane, Tyson was there waiting for you. When Bruno saw him, he started barking and moving around in the carrier, "Shh, Bru." You laughed, opening the top so Bruno could hop out.

Bruno hopped out of the carrier, into Tyson's waiting arms, "Hi, Bru, I missed you, too, dude. Were you good for mom?"

"He was the bestest boy like he always is, but I think he missed dad." You scratched behind his ears as he licked Tyson's face.

"Come on, let's go explore your new home." Tyson set Bruno on the ground and held the leash with one hand while the other grabbed your suitcase.

The moment the door was open and Bruno was off his leash, he was running around the small apartment, sniffing everything, "How're things here? What restaurants have you found?" You asked, bumping hips with him.

He laughed, "Things are good, I found a few pretty good restaurants we can try out, I found a good coffee shop, I found the closet bakery on day 1, and it's only a few blocks down."

"Ooh, yay!" You clapped.

"I also got you a jersey." He told you. Your whole body sagged as he produced a Minnesota Jost jersey, "I know, I know, just look." He held up the jersey.

"This is gonna take some getting used to."

"Me and you both." He laughed, setting the jersey down and standing next to you, looking out at your future home, "Welcome home."

-

After the game, you were standing with all the other partners, getting to know them while you waited, "I heard you guys have a dog." Danielle Spurgeon commented.

"Yeah, Bruno. He's a little Corgi." You pulled out your phone and showed the photos of Bruno around.

"Well, I think it's time to get Bruno a new jersey." She produced a small Wild jersey fit for a dog out of her bag.

"Oh, my goodness." You laughed, "Thank you. Bruno's gonna love it."

"I hope he does." She laughed.

As the guys started coming out, you kept your eye out for Tyson. When he finally spotted you, he rushed over to you, hugging you, "Did you have fun?"

You hummed with a nod, "I got inducted into the squad." You joked, "And Danielle gave me a gift for Bru." You showed him the small jersey.

"He's gonna love it." Tyson kissed your head and threw an arm around your shoulders, "So, you like it here?"

"Yeah. It'll never be the same as Colorado, but we'll make it home." You smiled.

Green Thumb

Part 21

Request: Yes or No

TW: Tonys death

Kind of short?

~

Part of you didn't believe it. Part of you didn't want to believe it. You expected Natasha to appear, laughing about pranking everyone. You weren't mentally well enough to deal with another loss. You were just so tired. You stared at the water, tuning out the guys behind you. You felt that familiar numbness wash over you, turning your head when Bruce tossed a bench.

"She's gone.. We have to make it worth it. We have to." Bruce breathed out. You stood up, sniffling softly and nodding.

"Nat would kick our asses for sitting around and mourning her for too long. She desperately wanted for this to work so.. We'll do this for her." You looked over them all. The men nodded, heading back to the facility to work on the stones. You sat down as Bruce, Tony, and Rocket began working on the glove and making their own gauntlet.

"It should've been me." Clint said quietly as he sat down.

"Nat would've hated herself for leaving the kids without you, Clint." You looked at him, gaze softening.

"Right now, you may have no one but.. You might have a family to go home to soon."

"I have you." Clint said, turning to look at you. His gaze dropped to the ground briefly.

"I'm sorry. I should've been there for you. I was supposed to be your father and I failed you. I let my anger and grief cloud my judgment.. I left you to deal with your own emotions when I should've been there to comfort you and help you through it. I know an apology won't make up all the years that passed but.. I plan on making things better. I won't force you to forgive me and I won't hide things from Laura if this works." Clint told you. You nodded, turning your head when the smart trio walked out with the gauntlet.

"So, who's gonna snap their fingers?" Rocket asked.

"I'll do it!" Thor said, walking towards it. Everyone quickly stopped him.

"We haven't discussed it yet." Steve said, placing a hand on his chest to keep him in his spot. Thor blinked a few times, scoffing softly.

"Well, I'm sorry, are we all sitting down waiting for the right opportunity?" He questioned, glancing around.

"We should at least talk about it." Scott said with a light shrug.

"Sitting here and staring at the thing won't bring everybody back. I'm the strongest Avenger, so this responsibility falls on my back-" You could tell Thor wanted to do it because he felt at fault. You frowned, glancing at Clint. Thor sniffled, looking at Tony.

"Let me do it." He whispered. "Let me do something good."

"Look, it's not just the fact that the glove is channelling enough energy to light up a continent, I'm telling you, you're in no condition." Tony said quietly. Thor gripped his shoulders.

"What do you think is coursing through my veins right now?"

"Cheese wiz?"

"Enough alcohol to kill a man?" You tried, tilting your head. Thor pointed at you and Rhodes, giving a small nod.

"I have lighting."

"Lighting won't help you, pal." Bruce said gently. "It's gotta be me."

"You saw what those stones did to Thanos.. It almost killed him. None of you could survive." Bruce said, walking towards the glove.

"How do we know you will?"

"We don't." Bruce answered Steve softly. Bruce gently picked up the glove, being careful not to drop it or break it.

"Let's do this."

"Okay, remember, everyone Thanos snapped away five years ago, we're just bringing them back to now. Don't change anything from the last five years." Tony instructed. Bruce nodded, looking down at the glove. Tony tapped the reactor, putting his suit on. He pushed you behind him, making a shield in case the blast was bad. Metal covered the doors and glass ceiling, incasing the room. Bruce slowly put his hand in the glove, crying out as energy went through his arm. You watched in concern, seeing his arm begin to burn. Bruce continued to scream, snapping his fingers and passing out, the glove sliding away. You quickly crouched down behind him, having the root bracelets extend and touch his burnt arm. Bruce panted softly, the burns slowly easing.

"This might take a while." You said softly. Bruce swallowed, nodding. You glanced over at Scott when he exited the room. Clint went to check his phone.

"Honey?" You turned your head towards Clint, eyes wide. You gave a small smile, looking back at Bruces arm. You noticed a shadow, looking up.

"Oh fuck." You whispered. You screamed as the floor fell out from under you, falling down. You grunted when something hit the back of your head, feeling water begin to soak you as pain shot through your leg once you landed. You groaned, seeing spots in your vision as you pushed your upper half up. You turned your head.

"Fuck me." You stared at the pole stuck through your leg. You licked your lips, hearing Rocket shouting. You turned towards him, raising your hand and lifting the structure he was stuck under. He rolled out from under it, panting. Rhodes crawled towards you, looking at the pole.

"Will you be able to heal yourself?" He asked. You looked down at the half rotten roots, shaking your head.

"No." You breathed out. "Not until we're back up there."

"Shit." Rhodes muttered. You noticed more water rushing in, most likely from the river. You raised your hand, making a water wall to stop more from spilling in.

"Don't waste your energy."

"I'd rather not drown." You looked at Rhodes, panting softly.

"I can't hold it forever, you guys!" You called, glancing at Rocket and Bruce. Rhodes ripped off some of his shirt, motioning to your leg. You swallowed, eyes welling up as you slowly lifted your leg, screaming out in pain.

"I got you, (Y/N). Don't worry, I got you." Rhodes whispered hurriedly, wrapping the cloth around your leg. You lost focus, arms trembling.

"The water, (Y/N)!" Rocket called as the water rushed into the room, quickly filling it up. Rhodes wrapped an arm around your waist, keeping you close. You whimpered softly, head resting on his shoulder.

"Sorry."

"No, no, it's alright." Rhodes kept his and your head above the water. You swallowed, gaining some focus back and moving your arm, the water slowly returning back from where it came from.

"I'm gonna take.. A big fucking nap after this." You whispered, feeling Rhodes patting your back.

"Same here." Rhodes mumbled. You blinked when a large hand wrapped around you, holding onto Rhodes as everything trembled. Scott opened his hand, letting Bruce hop off. Rhodes got his suit on, arm still around you as he flew down. You made a root rise, wrapping around your leg and healing it. You looked up, seeing portals and millions of people.

"Damn." You whispered, making fire balls. The armies rushed at each other. You swallowed, using wind to fly you up into the air. You extended your hands forward, fire shooting out of them and burning the aliens below. You landed on the ground, raising a hand and making ice spike come out of the ground, implaing the aliens in sight.

"Still as awesome as the first time." You froze, staring ahead before slowly turning around. You stared at Bucky. He looked the same. Sam landed besides him, giving a small smile.

"How you been, (Y/N)?" He asked. You gave a small tired smile.

"I wanna die." You answered, raising your hand and blasting some aliens back with fire. The two blinked at your response, brows furrowing in concern.

"We can.. We can catch up later." You told them, noticing T'Challa running with the gauntlet. You flew up, seeing one of the aliens attempting to get the gauntlet.

"So this is the squidward look alike." You threw a fireball at him, knocking him down as Peter grabbed the gauntlet. You landed near the alien, making roots grab onto his arm.

"Nice to meet you." You breathed out, hands extending. You watched his face contourt as he began gasping for air but you took it all out of him.

"And goodbye." You relaxed when he stopped squirming, making the ground swallow him just in case. You looked up, seeing one of the ships shooting down at the ground, quickly flying up and away from it. You noticed a man keeping the battlefield from being flooded, going over to him.

"Mind if I take some?" You asked, taking controlling of the small water twister he had going on. The man gave you an odd look.

"You could always help."

"I am." You made the water turn into a large ice spike, shooting it forward at one of the ships. It got the wing of it but the beams didn't ease. It stopped firing at the ground and instead fired up.

"Carol.." You breathed out, gently landing on the ground. You looked at the man, glancing at the water and making the ground rise in order to stop it from flooding. Carol took care of the ship, bringing it down.

"Couldn't have done that sooner?" The man asked. You shook your head.

"No, I was busy." You replied, looking down at your leg. It might've healed on the outside but it still hurt on the inside. You flew up, looking around for Bucky and Sam. You spotted them, going over to them and helping them up.

"What the fuck was that alien shit about?" Sam asked, panting. You chuckled tiredly, turning your head. You blinked, noticing Tony with the stones. Bruce had gotten badly injured from just wearing it.

"Tony.." You breathed out, walking towards him but he snapped his fingers, causing a bright light. The aliens around turned to dust, just like your friends. You ignored it, quickly flying over to Tony as he stumbled. Rhodes got there first, patting his shoulder. You landed near him, quickly walking towards him.

"Tony, just stay still, I-I'll fix you up in no time." You said, blinking away tears. You couldn't lose someone else. Natasha's death was still fresh. Tony turned his head towards you, mouthing a word.

"Promise."

"Tony.." You stared at him, hands trembling. Tony had made you promise the day everyone found out time travel could work to take care of Morgan and Pepper. You thought it had been silly.

"Tony, I can heal you. Just let me-" Rhodes placed a hand on your shoulder as Peter crouched down beside Tony. You clenched your jaw, tears spilling down your cheeks. Peter cried as he spoke to Tony. You stood up, looking at Pepper as you sniffled. Pepper gave Tony a sad smile, holding back tears until he went limp. Pepper leaned forward, kissing his cheek before sobbing. You took some steps back, sniffling.

"He needed this." Rhodes said softly, patting your back.

"Yeah.."

~~~~~~~~~~

You stepped off the jet, seeing Lila step out of the house. You smiled softly, watching Cooper step out as well. The two quickly ran towards you and Clint. You opened your arms, Coopers body colliding with yours. You couldn't help the sobs that left you as you held your younger brother. Clint couldn't either, sniffling as he held Lila. The two siblings switched, Lila giving you a tight hug.

"You've gotten taller." Lila said with a smile. You chuckled softly, shrugging.

"It's what five years can do to someone." You replied, smiling softly. You gave her another hug, walking back towards the house. You smiled softly, seeing Laura and Nathaniel.

"Mom.." You whimpered, arms wrapping around her tightly. She hugged you back, smiling softly.

"I'm here, baby. I'm here." Laura whispered, rubbing your back. You kept your arms around her, relief flowing through you. You pulled back, smiling down at Nathaniel and picking him up.

"Hey, buddy." You cooed, holding him as you walked back to the house. You set him down, taking out your phone and seeing Wanda's contact.

"Hey, what's up?"

"Would you mind coming with me somewhere?"

CHAPTER I - school grounds

wc: 1185

If there was something that could describe how you feel right now, it's how you would when you're reading a book where your favorite character is in a life and death situation. Albeit this wasn't too serious— scratch that, this IS serious. What was going on in your parents' minds when they chose to transfer their child to another school? In the middle of the school year?

Your clammy hands grip the strap of your messenger bag as you wait patiently for your tour guide. [eye color] eyes wander around the office to distract yourself from the anxiety bubbling in your stomach. Oh dear, how was the guide going to react? Surely they would've been upset about having to come back to their job on a weekend. You cringe as you imagine the image of a grumpy older man grumbling curses under his breath whenever you would ask a stupid question.

"Ah, Mr. Huening, glad you could make it." The voice of the principal snaps you out of your train of thought, following her gaze at the door. There stood a tall boy with a bright smile on his face. "Good afternoon, Mrs. Han!"

Mrs. Han imitated his smile before motioning towards you, "This is l/n y/n, our new student. They're just a year younger than you, I believe."

You feel your body tense up at the sudden attention. You try your best to crack a smile and give a small wave at the boy's direction. He waves back, walking closer before putting his hand out, "Hi! I'm Huening Kai, it's nice to meet you."

You shake his hand, nodding, "Nice to meet you too, Huening Kai."

"Just Kai is fine." He smiles before taking a seat next to you.

Gosh he's so tall, you think, absolutely mortified despite his inviting aura. Maybe it's because he seems so innocent is what makes him feel like a threat. The principal smiles at both students, "Now that you're both present, I trust that you two know why you're here?"

You nod your head, figuring that your tour guide won't be a grumpy old teacher while Hueni— Kai answered yes. "Then, off you go! Mr. Huening, take care of y/n, okay?"

"You can count on me Mrs. Hwang!" The blond stands up, looking back at the younger's awkward stature. "C'mon, let's go."

_____

HYBE High was bigger than you thought it was, but Kai made the walk throughout bearable. You could only laugh at how scared you were of him now that he was cracking jokes here and there. Kai couldn't even hurt a fly, he was just... scarily tall, you think to yourself. By the time you finish, it was a quarter to three and both students were smiling.

"And that concludes the tour! Hope you had a fun time." Kai gently nudges your shoulder, letting out a giggle. You laugh along with him and nod your head, "Thank you for being my guide, Kai."

"It was my pleasure!" He bows, hair flopping down with his body. You shake your head at his silliness before you stop walking at the entrance. "I'll see you on Monday then,"

He pulls out his phone from his pocket, "Let's exchange numbers, just in case you need help with anything in the future."

"Oh, sure!" You do the same and dictate your number as he typed it down. After putting away your phones, you finally wave goodbye as you near the gates.

"You sure you don't need a ride home?" Kai asks you with pure concern.

"Yup! Don't worry, I'm just waiting for my mom to pick me up." He nods and waves before leaving. You sit down by a nearby waiting shed, sighing and letting the day sink in. You're transferring to another high school... in the middle of the year. You groan and hide your face in the palms of your hands. At least you know two people— well, one you just met and the other with a face you've yet to see. You pull out your phone again and check your twitter, snickering at yourself when a funny tweet passed by your timeline. Engrossed in your scrolling, you didn't even notice that someone sat next to you until you heard a voice saying;

"Hey, I don't think I've seen you around here before." You jump and let out yelp. The boy before you starts apologizing, hands together and squeezing his eyes shut.

"I didn't mean to scare you, I'm so sorry!" You clutch your chest, making an attempt to calm yourself down before sighing.

"It's okay, I just didn't see you." You clear your throat as you lay your phone face down on your lap. "But yes! My name's y/n I'm new here, I just transferred."

The raven-haired boy raises a brow at you, "In the middle of the school year?"

Your lip twitches at the phrase. Geez, how many times will that be rubbed into your face...

You nod your head, giving him a small smile. He nods his head, returning your half-hearted smile with a toothy grin. "Well, I'm Jongseong! You can just call me Jay though."

"What year are you in?" You chuckle at his questions, "You sure are a talker, aren't you?"

"Can't help it, it's too awkward when it's silent." He laughs.

"I guess that's a good thing," you say, "I'm in my junior year."

"Oh, I'm older then," He crosses his arms in thought, "I'm in my senior year. If you need any help, don't be shy and rely on me. I'm pretty reliable."

You snort, "You saying you're reliable makes you seem suspicious."

Jay bursts out laughing, "Funny, that isn't the first time I heard that."

"Jay hyung!"

Both of you look over to where the voice came from to see another tall boy around your age.

"Sunoo, slow down!" And yet ANOTHER tall boy runs to his side, looking absolutely exhausted.

"Heeseung hyung, Sunoo, it's been so long! How are you?" Jay smiles as he stands up, and only then did you notice how he towers over you.

"It was nice meeting you, y/n!" You reply with a meek 'you too' as you wave goodbye. You deadpan at the group of boys and their insanely tall frames. There was definitely no joke when they said HYBE High was full of giants...

_____

"Jay hyung, who was that person you were with?" Sunoo asks, looking back at you who was messing around with your phone.

"Oh, them? A transferee." Jay answers, getting into the front seat of Heeseung's car. The eldest scrunches his nose in confusion, "A transferee? In the middle of the school year?"

Jay hums before leaning on his seat to look at Sunoo, who was still busy looking at you. "They're the same year as you, Sun."

"Really?!" The said boy snaps his head to his hyungs' direction, sparkles in his eyes. "I'm so excited to show them around!"

Both boys laugh at his reaction, "Good for you 'noo."

_____

Your body shivers and you cringe, "I feel like someone's talking about me right now..."

Vampire’s New Maid/Jimin x Reader

Chapter 2: The Boss

Warnings: mentions of blood.

Chapter 1

…………………………………………………………

“Miss? Miss, you need to wake up.” the driver grunts waking me up from my somewhat restless sleep. “ Hmm? Yes, I am up now sir.” I said gradually blinking my eyes open. Through mid-stretch I realized I don't know the driver's name, so I asked, “Um Sir, if you don't mind me inquiring, what is your name?” The man looks back at me through the review mirror with a hesitant glare in his gaze and speaks, “Why do you want to know? No one ever cares to ask unless I did something to offend them.” I immediately speak while shaking both my head and hands back and forth, “ No. No nothing like that at all. I just want to know, so I don't have to call you Sir all the time. Even a last name to call you by is more comfortable to me.” The man nods his head in understanding and there is a subtle smile at the edge of his mouth. “ Ah okay then my name is David Godfried. Since I gave you mine may I call you by your last name miss?” I smile at him politely, “ Thank you for telling me, Mr. Godfried, and yes you may.” Mr. Godfried gives me a full toothy smile,” Well Miss. L/N you should get going in the house. Mr. Park is waiting for you in his meeting room. Then the main Butler will greet you at the door and take you there.” I give him a grateful smile and an affirmative nod. “ Okie Dokie, thank you for telling me. That and also for picking me up and dropping me off.” Mr.Godfried replies, “You’re welcome Miss.L/N.” Slowly scooting to get out of the limousine I open the door and a gust of powerful wind and rain came into the car. “ Goodbye Miss.L/N “ I look back at him, “ Goodbye Mr.Godfried I wish you well.”

Getting out of the car I pull my coat closer toward my body. Looking away from the limousine I rapidly looked at the house and did a double-take of the beautiful view of the manor in front of me. The house has three stories with 25 windows on each level. At the end of the manor, there are rounded towers but are the same height as the rest of the manor. The tower-like structure has the same amount of levels as the rest of the manor, but on each floor, there is nothing but windows. At the top level, there is a balcony to overlook the hundreds of acres. The other tower-like structure is exactly the equivalent on the opposite side. Under each window of the manor, lights are pointing up at it and eliminating each window that makes the manor look like a golden yellow.

At the entrance, there are double doors that look like mahogany wood with big knockers, and the knockers are gold. Before that is an entrance porch with two large stone pillars holding up the stone cover and to get up to the porch you have to step up three stone steps. Right in front of me, there is a gravel pathway that leads to the front door, and on each side of the gravel pathway, there are Japanese Maple trees. Underneath the trees is dark green luscious grass.

Walking up the gravel path I feel the rocks move under my weight. Taking a final deep breath I step under the porch-like stone structure and use one of the knockers, which feels so smooth it seems like it is polished regularly.

After waiting for a few minutes the head butler opens the door and asks, “You are Mr. Park's new maid correct?” “ Yes Sir, my name is Y/N L/N,” I spoke with gentleness. The man has grey almost white hair and a scowling face. He wore a black turtle neck and black dress pants with leather shoes that shine so much I swear you almost get blinded by them. Opening one of the doors wider he speaks with a rushed, but harsh voice, “Come on! Come on now! We don't have all day to prance around like deer in headlights now do we! I have a job to accomplish and you have a meeting to be in.” “Oh!” I say shocked about his rudeness and how he pulls me into the manor to slam the door shut behind me. As much as I wanted to say excuse me I held my tongue and looked down towards my feet.

Not saying anything the elderly man turns around on the balls of his feet and starts walking up the stairs. Since his back was turned I quickly looked around the astounding manor while trying to keep up with him.

Outside the manor is all stone and glass windows except the door, but inside is just like the door everything interior-wise was mahogany. The doorways, the floors, the walls, and the stairs are all wood. Seeing the walls there was a pattern of squares on them that were sunken in, and the ceiling was wood as well, but there are patterns of swirls and circles highlighting the perimeters of the ceiling. On the sides of the walls about five feet apart are light fixtures that are crystal and gold. In the middle of the ceiling, there is a chandelier that looks like an upside-down tree. The area that would be the trunk and branches are gold, and the leaf like crystals are the lights. You can tell everything is up kept because everything has a gloss or shine to it.

Going up the stairs I noticed that there is a dark royal blue fluffy carpet, and at end of the first stir case there is two hallways that splits to go either east or west of the manor. Before the staircase ends it splits into two rounded staircases that go up to the second floor. Noticing this we go up on the right side of the staircase. The second level looks like a bunch of rooms and all the doors are open to see that they are unoccupied.

Thinking this is where we were going to stop I found out that I was corrected because the head butler went up another staircase, but this is a single staircase like the one on the bottom floor. Going up the staircase I noticed it was getting more bright and it smelled different, unlike the other floors. It smelt like citrus and mint with a touch of fresh air. Being directed to the west side of the manor we went to the very end of the hall where the tower-like structure is.

At the end of the hall, two twin-like doors are closed with handles that are made of gold and crystal. The head butler stops and speaks with a harsh tone, “Here is the meeting room where you will meet Mr.Park. After the meeting, he will show you to the room that you'll be staying in. Next, he will bring you to the head maid’s office so you can start working right away.” I wanted to reply as a thank you, but he simply turned and quickly walked away with his head held high.

Sighing I swiveled back around and knocked on the door because I didn't know if I was supposed to just walk in. Not hearing anything I peek my head in the room calling out, “Hello, Mr.Park?” Again nobody answered, so I walked in to look around and wait for him.

The place is full of windows and I can see a gorgeous view of the Japanese Maple trees and the infinite acres of green grass. Wanting a better look I went in-between his coffee table; made out of glass and gold, and one of his dark royal blue leather sofas. Then I had to go around his big desk made out of oak wood to get to the French glass doors leading to the balcony. Opening them I stepped out into the cold fresh air just to notice it stopped raining. Slowly walking further out onto the balcony just to lean on the stone railing to enjoy the view. Closing my eyes and breathing in the air I enjoyed my surroundings.

Suddenly I hear a sweet voice speak in a warning tone, “ Who are you, and why are you in my office?” Jumping out of my skin I hastily turn around to see a gorgeous man with threatening glazed brown eyes. His eyebrows lifted in question. I force down the clog in my throat and speak with what I hope is a respectful voice,” Mr.Park I am your new maid and blood donor Y/N L/N. I was showed here and was told to meet you here. I'm sorry if I offended you or broke any rules, Sir, please forgive me.” I look down at my feet and bowed in respect. He doesn't reply but walks closer towards me. He hums then speaks softly,” I am sorry if I scared you. I honestly forgot that you were coming today. Nice to meet you Miss.L/N, but next time don't come out on this balcony. I usually don't let anyone on here. It's more of a sacred space for me.” Gazing back up I see him smiling softly, so I nod my head and answer him truthfully. “ I see why it's absolutely lovely up here and soothing if I might say. I won't do it again though I am remorseful to invade your private space. It was unthoughtful of me. It's just when I came into your office Sir I was enamored by the beauty of it and wanted to come out to get a better look.” Looking around one more time I move past him to enter the meeting room. Turning to follow me he closes the French doors and spoke, “It’s okay, you didn't know Miss.L/N, and I know. That is the reason why I go out there”

Taking a breath and putting his hands together he speaks again as he moves to sit on one of the leather couches. “Now Miss.L/N I would like to ask you a few questions and after this meeting, I will show you to your room where you will be staying at. Okay?” Sitting down on the other leather couch that is opposite of Mr.Park I answer him. “ Okay, no problem ask away.”

Now taking in his attire he is wearing a silk looking suit jacket with a pattern of swirls that are blue and black. He is also wearing a silk white button-up and plain black silk fitted dress pants with leather black shoes.

“Why do you want to become a maid?” Mr.Park asks softly which comforts me. “I want to become a maid because of the good memories my mother has had as a maid. As much as my father was a farmer he did landscaping for the same boss and that's how they met. I wish to both be a maid and a landscaper for you Mr.Park because I want to carry on the legacy of my parents.” Throughout my speech, Mr.Park’s eyes became soft and gave me a small smile. “ I see...” he nods his head then speaks again, “I would like to see your landscaping ideas for the backyard, and as for being a maid what do you prefer to do?.”

After he said that I look up at him in excitement,” Oh really?! Thank you for such an opportunity, Sir. I am grateful and... Um, as for a maid I like to organize and help serve others when in need. I like to set up tables, do the dishes, and clean bedrooms.” When I was done speaking I stared at my lap to speak again, “I don't really like cleaning toilets, but I am okay with cleaning showers and countertops. I do like to do laundry and folding clothing it is very calming to me if I am stressed, angry at myself, or someone.” Not looking up until I felt him sit next to me on the couch. Looking up at him I noticed that he was searching for my eyes and I blushed. He chuckled softly at me, “Miss, you said everything except for cleaning a toilet and cooking. Is there anything you truly want to do as a maid?” I hesitantly speak my mind, “Well you see Mr.Park, my mother took care of her boss. She cleaned and pressed his suits. She brought his breakfast, lunch, and dinner. She also organized his schedule and paper/documents. I honestly desire that I could do the same things she did, but I am not qualified, and her boss only allowed her because he was married and so was she. That is why I didn't ask you if I can do such a thing for as you know I am an unmarried woman, so therefore you must think it is inappropriate of me for suggesting such a thing.”

When his eyebrows raised and his mouth opened to an o shape I looked away in shame. “Wow um that is something, but it would benefit me in many ways, plus you did say that you will allow me to drink your blood, so you being around when I am in need will help. Although, it is inappropriate for I am also unmarried,” he sighs and looks away from me, so I speak with haste because I was afraid of offending him. “Sir, I'm sorry I shouldn't have said anything, please forgive me. I do not mean to offend you or put you in an uncomfortable position. You can assign me any position/job and I will be happy I promise you.” He looks back at me in shock, “ Not many humans are happy to be maids. Why is it so different for you? Plus, you didn't offend me, Miss.L/N I was just taken aback by what you said was all.” He puts his hand on my hand to squeeze it and lets go quickly after.

“ I am different Sir because I promised my mother to love my life and that is what I plan to do no matter what the situation is,” I spoke with confidence while looking directly into his brown eyes. Again, he looks at me with a shocked expression, and I couldn't hold my laugh in and because of my laugh he started grinning at me. “ You know what? I will allow you to do the same thing your mom did for her boss.” This time I am the one looking at him in surprise, but then I get super excited and hugged him out of instinct. “ Oh! Thank you, Mr.Park thank you!” He gently hugs me back, but then he asks me another question.

“Miss L/N? Why do you want to be a blood donor?” Pulling away from him and looking down with a small frown on my face I tell him,” It's because I need the money to pay off a medical bill.” “ What? Medical bill? What do you mean? Are you sick?” He asks in concern, but I instantly shake my head no. “No, I am fine, but my little brother is not, he is living with a lung disorder that without a machine helping him to breathe right now he would be dead. Some treatments can help him, but I can't afford it and I understood that being just a maid won't be enough, so I was willing to be a blood donor. I know it's not the answer you might not want to hear, but please understand.” I look desperately into his eyes, but he closes his eyes tightly and sighs, “But are you truly willing to give me your blood?” Gazing back at me seriously, so I turn to speak in embarrassment, “Yes, I am also curious. I have always heard about how it feels, but I truly want to try it. If I give you a percentage out of one hundred. I would give you ninety-two percent of my willingness I am to give you my blood Mr.Park.

He nods his head from learning insight before he speaks, “How about this, tonight I need to feed anyway, so I will come to you for blood. After I have drunk from you the next day I want you to tell me an honest percentage of how much you are willing to let me have your blood. Okay?” I give him a grateful smile and spoke respectfully, “Okay, and thank you for your gracious offer, Mr.Park.” “You’re welcome, but since your going to be at my beck and call. I want you to do two things for me. One is to call me by my first name Jimin, and two, you have to sleep close to my room, so you will not be with the other maids. Can you do that for me Y/N?” I nod my head enthusiastically. “Good, well come on let me show you your room.” He chuckles while standing up.

Mist Memories

Leo Valdez x reader for his birthday ahhhh (even though it's angsty) with a platonic/developing jason x reader cameo at the end (lmao im sorry i couldn't help myself 😭)

Based on this picture I found in pinterest + also [kinda] based on traitor by olivia rodrigo and omg i really recommend u guys listen to this edit because it reminds me so much of this fic that's been stuck in my head for MONTHS also kind of a run away with me prologue lol

Your POV

I nervously made my way across the forest until I reached a limestone cliff. I knocked on the iron door, not really expecting to get an answer.

My boyfriend has been shutting himself in Bunker 9 for the past few weeks. I stood there counting up to seven before knocking again. I knocked again two more times, until he answered in the middle of my last knock.

He removed his goggles and winced as sunlight hit his eyes. He'd grown thinner and paler, making the dark circles in his eyes more pronounced.

"Oh, Leo..." I reached out to brush a few strands of hair away from his face, but he moved away.

"What are you doing here?" He said in a monotone voice.

I moved to walk inside the Bunker, brushing off his hesitation to let me in. "I'm your partner, remember? And I'm really concerned because you're shutting yourself out lately. You know everyone's starting to worry about you. Percy asked me to check on you because you missed pegasus riding with him. Oh, and I'm pretty sure Jason's coming back from Camp Jupiter soon. I was hoping you and Annabeth could be with Piper while Percy and I hung out with Jason because it's been a little awkward since their breakup. Plus Piper wanted to tell you something—"

"Please," he said forcefully causing me to stop and look at him. "Just... Get out."

Normally, he'd shut himself from the world for a few days to work on an important project or because he was feeling really sad and he needed space. But this was getting out of hand. He had never locked me out of his life when I offered to help him. He was never this mean when he asked for space. I was not having this attitude of his.

"Okay, Leo. I tried to play nice. What is so important that you blow off all your friends for nearly a month that you can't even tell your partner, or maybe say hi to your best friend who's coming back from the other side of the country?"

He didn't say anything. He pursed his lips and avoided eye contact. I scanned he room for any signs.

It was messier than usual with all the crumpled paper scattered on the floor, especially on his desk. He could have been drawing up new plans. Something in my gut told me that something wasn't right. There were no new unfinished projects, indicating that he wasn't starting a new invention. Harley's helicopter lay on his bench in the same state it was weeks ago. Huh, not even his siblings could enter the Bunker.

I turned and Leo was already changing Festus' oil. I took this moment of distraction to pick up a few pieces of crumpled paper on the floor and on his desk. I had to process the words a bit longer—too long that Leo took notice. Damn dyslexia.

I heard footsteps speed up behind me, but it was too late. I read enough and got the gist of what he had been trying to do these past few weeks.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" He yelled at me. Small embers started to erupt between his curls.

I laughed dryly. "So this is what you've been up to?"

His fists tightened, further crumpling the paper in his hands. His eyes flashed with anger, despair and confusion.

I sighed and focused my eyes on his desk, not daring to look at him any longer. Under some pieces of paper were old photographs of him and Piper from Wilderness School. Yup, those definitely were the mist memories she had with Jason. I read the latest draft he'd been writing:

Dear Piper,

Remember the mist memories from boarding school with Jason? They were real, but they were with me.

I miss you. I miss when it was just us. I miss the night on the roof.

Yours truly,

Leo Valdez

I tried to keep my voice from cracking. "How long?"

I heard him sigh. "Three weeks."

I balled my fists. Tears started to fall and smudge the ink. I wiped them away as fast as they came.

"How?"

"In a dream," his tone softened now. "Hera came to me in a dream and told me to check an old drawer in Bunker 9. I found the photos and the memories came rushing back."

"How long were you dating back then?"

"Two weeks."

"Were you ever going to tell me?"

Silence; then a deep breath.

"No."

I shook my head in disbelief. "Why?"

"Because I knew you'd get upset like—"

"I meant why would you throw away months of our relationship for a couple of weeks of your relationship with her? And without even bothering to tell me? Gods damn it, Leo. We've been together since you've first arrived at camp. And what about those promises you made when we were sailing to Greece? You've been keeping these feelings away from me and you've been lying to me, making me believe that there's still something between us and—"

"Oh, calm down," he said with an annoyed expression and tone, which only infuriated me more, "it's not like I did anything were her yet! I didn't kiss her or tell her how I truly felt for her! She just got out of a relationship with Jason around the same time I had that dream. I had to figure out how to talk to her about it. I've been alone in this Bunker for three. Fucking. Weeks. I didn't cheat on you."

"Oh, and that makes everything better?" I countered. "Being in a relationship isn't about not cheating, Leo. It's about being honest and communicating with each other."

"Oh, like you've been communicating with me? After the war, you take go back to Manhattan for school, and you take a job. I haven't seen you much during the holidays because work has been keeping you in the city. And you won't tell me what you even do for a living!"

I took in a deep breath. "I told you I needed to have a life outside of camp! I needed to know first that I could handle myself in the mortal world as a normal human being. I needed this demigod part of my life to be separate as much as possible! I've been in two wars, Leo. I needed time to myself, too. And I was about to tell you guys in a few more days. But I guess now, I'm glad I've kept you out of that part of my life. At least I have an escape from all of this. And now, especially from you."

I took another deep breath and walked to the door, about to let myself out. I turned back again, both our tear-stained eyes meeting each other.

"If it makes you feel any better," I said softly, "I would've hated the idea of us breaking up. But if you really love her, if you really feel like you have this special connection to her and she makes you happy, then I won't get in your way. You could at least have had the decency to talk to me so we could have left on a good note."

He looked at me with wide eyes, clearly regretting his actions. I sighed and looked around the Bunker, possibly for the last time. Lots of memories were definitely created in this room; all just as grand and meaningful as the inventions they made here. But just like some of Hephaestus' contraptions, some of them were flawed and dumped in his scrapyard, no matter how much potential it could have had.

"Goodbye, Leo."

I sat on a rock on the beach that gave me a beautiful view of Long Island Sound. To my left, the sun started to set, casting an orange filter on everything. My heart broke, remembering how everything glowed orange in the Bunker. Leo always left the fires burning when he was working. The sunlight twinkling against the sea reminded me of how small bits of flame peaked through his hair earlier. I remembered how mad he was at me. Or maybe he was mostly mad at himself.

"Hey."

I jumped when someone sat—or rather, landed—beside me. I turned and smiled, seeing one of my good friends back at camp.

"Hey, you're back," I said weakly. "How long have you been here?"

He smiled at me, although he could maybe sense that something was wrong. "Half an hour, maybe? I saw Annabeth making plans to expand camp to have a city. She made me do an aerial inspection and I told her I'll get back to her tonight. That's when I saw you."

"Mhmm," I mumbled, not really knowing what to say. It was silent for a few minutes before I spoke up again, knowing he was just waiting for me to open up.

"I broke up with Leo."

His head quickly turned to me. I guess he wasn't expecting it to be that bad. "What?"

"Oh yeah," I laughed dryly. "Turns out the mist memories Piper had in Wilderness School with you? They were real. But not with you."

His eyes widened. "Oh... With Leo."

"He locked himself in the Bunker for weeks trying to write a letter. It was heartbreaking. Like, truly heartbreaking. He wanted to tell her how much he missed her and how much he missed them. Then he said how much he missed that night with her under the stars and... It hurt. Like hell."

"Oh," he said. "I guess Piper didn't tell me everything then."

"She knew all along?"

He shook his head. "Maybe not everything, but she told me she's been confused about her feelings lately and she'd been having visions or dreams of possible old memories that were messing with her head."

"I'm sorry about you and Piper," I said.

"Don't be," he said. "I understand her. It did hurt, though. But I think I can get over it some day. We're still awkward around each other, but at least we left on a good note."

I scoffed. "Leo couldn't even give me a good ending to our relationship."

"Hey," he said as he put a hand on my shoulder. "You're a great person, y/n. You've done so much, especially for him. It's his loss that he was stupid enough to let go of you."

"I know that."

"Do you really?"

"I do!" I said. "I'm a great person and I know that. But that doesn't mean what he did doesn't hurt me."

"I know," he said. "You'll find someone who'll treat you like the queen that you are. You're a great person, and I'm not just saying this to cheer you up. I truly think you're amazing."

I smiled at him. "Thanks, Jason. And you'll find someone great, too. Maybe not as great as me but, then again, who is?"

We both let out a laugh. The conch sounded in the distance, signaling dinner. I moved to stand up before hearing Jason speak up again.

"Hey, do you maybe want to just grab a couple of plates and eat out here?"

I smiled. "Yeah. That sounds good. I don't really want everyone else hounding me about the breakup right now."

I don't know how long it was going to take me to get over Leo. We really did gave something special. It was cruel how the universe gave me something so good, to make me have hope that something was finally going right, then have it yanked away from my arms just as suddenly as it came.

He never cheated on me, but that didn't mean he didn't betray every promise we made to each other. I should have known it was too good to be true. Life has always played cruel jokes on me.

Then again, who's to say that things won't turn out for the better, right?

Part: 3

"Hurry up, Y/n!" Hinata yelled as he grew impatient.

"I'm coming, Shoyo! You're literally outside of my door." you hung up and grabbed your bag along with your phone.

Opening your bedroom door you saw your best friend standing there tapping his foot. "Was it really necesarry for you to call me when you were already here?"

"Yes!" he exclaimed "I don't want you changing plans last minute."

"I'm not going to bail on you guys." you chuckled "Relax, we are going to hangout together today."

"Alright. Come on we still need to get to the gym to warm up." he grabbed your hand and ran downstairs.

"Shoyo!" you exclaimed "Where's Tobio anyway?"

When you got to the bottom of the stairs you saw the black haired friend sitting down at the kitchen table. A sigh escaped your lips knowing he wouldn't pass up the chance of some milk with your mom's pastries. "I can't quite say that I'm surprised."

"Do you wnt...s-sum?" he muffled as he chewed down on the bread making his cheeks chubbier.

"I'll be fine." you answered unlike the orange hair who stuffed a plastic bag filled with pastries while your mom laughed.

"Why don't I just give you guys some extra ones?" your mom said as she filled another bag with individual wrapped bakery goods.

"We'd appreciate it!" the duo spoke.

"We gotta go or else you'll be late for the game!" you exclaimed pulling each one away from the counter covered in sweets.

"Let me get one more!" Hinata whined, "One more-"

"You'll both end up getting stomach aches if you don't stop!" you retorted.

What seemed like eternity you managed to get them out the door despite the begs. "Please make sure to come back soon boys!" your mom said.

"We'll be back Mrs. (last name)! Thank you for the sweets!" they both yelled in unison.

"I will see you before closing, mom." you kissed her cheek and grabbed the four bentos. "Thank you for the food!"

"Be careful okay?" she waved goodbye at you then chuckled to herself, "I'm glad my baby has her friends."

"Seriously you guys barely have enough time to get to the gym!" you yelled out as you three ran towards the school's grounds. "I told you we had to go!"

"Yeah but your mom's bread was so good!" Hinata jumped "It tasted like a fluffy cloud Y/n!"

"She definitely needs to bring her food to the next school's festival." Kageyama added "Imagine how much attention your mom's bakery would get."

You bit your lip "You're not wrong about that..."

Hinata looked at his watch, his eyes widened. "We only have 15 minutes to practice before the other school get's here Kageyama!"

"You idiot! I told you we had to go!" he moved closer to kick his butt but Hinata managed to dodge his hit.

"Oh shut up! You were stuffying your face too!"

"Why am I friends with these two again?" you muttered.

"Come on pick up the pace y/n!" Hinata and Kageyama grabbed your hands and ran faster than your legs could move.

"G-guys!" you exclaimed "I-I'll end up falling─ slow down!" they were too focused on getting to practice than hear about your objections "If I break a bone I'm telling my mom to ban you from the shop!"

After a five minute run that was supposed to be ten, you finally arrived. Your legs felt like jelly and your sweater was long gone as your body was too sweaty. 'This was worse than a summer day...' you thought, 'I showered and got dressed so nicely only for it to be ruined by those two. Ugh they owe me big time.'

You slowly treaded towards the stairs of the gym, their teammates were too busy preparing to notice you. A sigh escaped your lips upon feeling the cool air coming from the a/c. "This... this is nice." you mumbled. "It feels like a cold freezer..."

"Um... hi." a voice spoke coming from behind you.

"You two are so banned..." you muttered under your breath. Slowly you turned around to come face with two guys. 'They must be their teammates.'

"Are you going to keep blocking the door or can we get through?" the tall guy with the glasses spoke.

"Tsuki." the shorter one mumbled.

"Well?" he stared you down, "We don't have all day."

'He must be the guy that Shoyo and Tobio went up against.' you thought.

"R-right... but you don't have to be so rude you know." you answered.

Tsukishima rolled his eyes walking passed you meanwhile his friend gave you an apologetic smile. "He's usually not mean." he chuckled slightly "Do you need help with something?"

"No... I came to see some friends. But they left me out on the front steps to get ready for your match today."

"Wait... are you really their friend?" he asked.

"If you're talking about the tall one and the ginger then yes." you chuckled, "They said it was fine for me to come today."

"Don't take this the wrong way but..." he scratched his cheek looking away from you, "I'm surprised they have a friend that's a girl, given the way that they are."

"No worries. I understand what you mean especially since we met in very different times." You two walked inside "I'm still surprised they are friends."

"Y/n!" looking to the left you saw Yachi jogging over to you. "Oh hey, Tadashi!"

"I should go warm up, it was nice meeting you!"

"You too Tadashi!"

She then spoke again, "What happened to you? Did you run all the way here?"

"Hinata and Kageyama were too busy stuffing their faces with my mom's pastries. By the time they actually listened to me it was too late and we had to run all the way here." you whined "Now I'm all covered in sweat and I feel disgusting."

"I told them not to get distracted." she sighed "Do you want to freshen up? I have an extra shirt in the club room."

"Really? Id really appreciate that."

"Come on we still have a few minutes before the whole team gets here."

Your feet were too tired to walk yet somehow you managed to go upstairs to the room. "I swear one day those two will be the death of me." you complained.

"Can you blame them? Your mom's sweets are too good." Yachi chuckled.

Shaking your head you went inside and washed your face along with your arms and back. "How are the two doing with their quick attack by the way?" you asked.

"They're getting there, although they still want to make sure it comes out perfect. Coach Ukai said they need to upgrade it or else it won't be enough to get past the blocker's hands."

You nodded, "There's no doubt in my mind they will make it work. From the videos you've sent me those two can work a miracle even if they end up fighting... their goals are the same."

"Oh right I was going to ask you..." Yachi continued "... how did it go with your guy by the way? Did he end up messaging you?"

Biting your lip, you put on the white clean shirt. "He did, he was so nervous and sweet. I apologized to him about what my mom did yet he said he didn't mind because he was nervous about talking to me." you giggled.

"Wait so your mom really did give him your phone number?!"

"She did! I wasn't expecting her to go that far." you answered "But it is kinda embarrasing how she had to do it for me though..."

"Nonesense!" she exclaimed "You just needed that little push well you both did. I'm sure he knows that especially since he took the time to message you."

It was difficult to hide the smile that kept creeping up on your face. "As cliche as it sounds... it really feels like a movie Yachi."

"You're barely at the talking stage but what if he asks you out on a date then to become something more. Are you ready to go that far?"

Closing the locker you turned to face her, "Not going to lie with everything that has happened... I feel scared to say yes. After what happened I never really thought someone would take an interest in me and that I'd feel the same way."

Yachi placed her hand on your shoulder, "It's been at least 4 four years I think it is time to enjoy a new adventure in your life. You may never know what might happen."

"Yeah, I know."

There was a knock on the door, "Hey! Yachi are you almost ready? Kiyoko said she needs your help setting up."

"Yeah! We'll be right there Sugawara!" she yelled back.

"Who's Sugawara?" you asked.

"Come on let's go meet the rest of the team that way it'll be easier." she chuckled taking your hand and walking back to the gym.

There were sudden butterflies in your stomach, although you knew your friends were part of the team, you couldn't but wonder if it was okay for you to come. All you wanted was to make a good impression for the team that gave your friends the opportunity to play.

As soon as she opened the door everyone turned their heads to look at you. Two memebers then ran over to you both making you jump back.

"A new girl!" they yelled in unison.

"She's so cute!" the shorter one exclaimed.

"You didn't tell us you had such a pretty friend Yachi!" the taller one added.

Yachi became flustered, "Ah! T-this is m-my friend! She came to w-watch the game today. Y/n this is Tanaka and Nishinoya."

Feeling embarrassed you gave them a nod, "It's nice to meet you guys."

"She's so adorable!" Tanaka exclaimed "I hope we get to see you around here more often."

"Oh... um sure, if you guys don't mind." you said.

"Where have you been all my life?!" Nishinoya's eyes widened not being able to handle how cute you looked.

"Oh Y/n!" Hinata then jogged over to you guys "Can you help us toss some balls?"

"Yeah let's go-" you went to follow Hinata only to be taken away in the opposite direction.

"You need to meet the whole team." Nishinoya held your hand dragging you over to what seemed to be the third years along with other members.

"Guys! This is Yachi's friend, Y/n! Y/n, this is Suga or Sugawara for short, Asahi, Tsukishima, Tadashi, and Ennoshita!"

You tried to hide your nervousness, "Hello! It's nice to meet you guys, thank you for letting my friends play."

Tsukishima stared at you with an uninterested look, while Tadashi smiled softly.

"How did you manage for Hinata and Kageyama to get along? They were at each other's throats." Sugawara chuckled.

"Well... let's just say it's still hasn't changed much." you rubbed the back of your head. "But we make it work."

"Are you also a first year?" Ennoshita asked.

"Mhm I had to change school's during the second semester." you answered. "Karasuno is my second school."

"Well welcome to the team, I apologize in advance if things get out of control." Sugawara said "They're usually..." he tried to put into words but you understood.

"No worries if I can handle those two I'm sure it won't bother me." you chuckled. "Is this the whole team?"

"We're only missing our captain." Asahi answered, "Where is he anyways?"

Tskushima shrugged "He said something about needing to find his knee pads."

"Anyway we should go get ready before the school shows up. Let's start to warm up." Sugawara said and everyone went off to do their own things. "If you want you can sit down besides Coach Ukai and Mr. Takeda."

"Oh okay." you then looked around "Do you need help with anything?"

"I think we should be good, can you help with picking up the volleyballs and putting them in that basket when the other team gets here?"

"Sure." you were about to grab the cart when you heard the door open again.

"Oh! Daichi come over here!" he yelled.

Your feet froze, the numbness you felt earlier in your legs returned. 'Please... don't be who I think it is...' you thought lowering your head, 'Oh my god what if he gets dissappointed?'

You tried to subtly fix your hair and tuck in the club room shirt. Sugawara noticed, "Are you okay─"

"What is it Suga?" Daichi asked as he walked over to where you both were.

"This is the friend that they were talking about, this is Y/n." he said smiling softly at you. "Daichi?"

You slowly lifted your head to come face to face with those loving brown eyes. Daichi was in the same state as you, shocked yet happy to finally see you.

"Are you alright?" Sugawara asked looking at him.

"Y-yeah..." he chuckled awkwardly "It should have been obvious right?"

Your face was hot, "Y-yeah, I shouldn't have been so dumb."

"You two know each other-"

"This is y/n... the one I've been telling you about." Daichi said.

"Oh...." Suga mumbled "So you're the one he can't stop rambling about." a smirked then formed on his lips.

You blushed, "W-what, really?"

"Suga!" Daichi exclaimed.

"I can't believe after all this time you two would end up meeting each other at school." he said.

"Yeah..." you chuckled lightly "I knew you played a sport but never thought you were my friend's captain."

"I didn't know if it sounded cool─" he admitted.

"Are you kidding?!" you exclaimed "It's amazing! Volleyball isn't an easy sport. The amount of people that depend on you to lead them, yet you still have their backs and know what to say" you smiled looking up at him. "It's admirable really."

Daichi rubbed the back of his head, shyly smiling "Thank you I try my best to keep them under control... but sometimes they don't bother to listen."

"I know how that feels."

Sugawara stood quiet watching you two converse as if you were the only ones. He wanted to say something to get Daichi all flustered but didn't have the heart to do so. 'I am sooo going to have fun with this.' he thought.

TITTLE: Just Be Here

SUMMARY: Reader just finished a case and her husband, Aaron Hotchner is always there to support her. 

PAIRING: female! reader x Aaron Hotchner

CHARACTERS: reader, Aaron Hotchner, Emily Prentiss and David Rossi (literally for a second), Allison (OC)

WARNINGS: child assault and abuse; mentions of misscariage, alcohol usage, body fluids (blood, urine, vomit), pornography.

WORD COUNT: 3,5K

A/N: am i back? i don’t know hahah, but it’s something, right? again in this story Jack doesn’t really exist, sorry. and again CAC - Crimes Against Children.

'Hey, sweetie. You're safe, okay? Nobody's gonna hurt you anymore.', you whispered taking little girl into your arms. She was sobbing quietly with tears falling down her pink cheeks. She was no more than three years old, still in her purple pajamas, that were dirty form all the body fluids person can imagine and also dirty room she was held in. 'You're safe, Allison. You're safe.', you kept repeating and little girl just held her hands around you even tighter.

You looked around the room and the whole sight was just horrible. No windows, barely any lights, cages, blood and urine all over the floor. Just an awful place to be in let alone to live for months. Even the smallest thought of what was going on before the whole team came in gave you shivers and blood started to boil inside you. The place was there for years at that point and no one knew about it. You were just looking at your teammates, taking the rest of the kids out of the building. Some were crying, some were screaming and some were just clinging to the agents hoping that they would never comeback. And they never will. You would make sure of that.

' Allison, we have to go.', you said quietly, trying not to scare her. But little girl just shook her head and tightened her arms around your neck. 'We have to go. You need to see a doctor. It's scary, I know, but I'm gonna be with you all the time, okay?'

It wasn't easy to convince Allison to come out of the building, but after some negotiations and conversations with you she agreed. You're holding her in your arms as close as possible, trying to avoid the blue and red lights that were blinding both of you in the dark night.

Hospitals were always the last place that you're wanted to be. If you were the it only meant that either someone from your team or family was injured or one of the victims from your case were in tragic condition.

To put it straight, hospitals were never a good sign.

But you couldn't go home, not just yet. You promised Allison, that you would be with her this whole time, so you were also there when she got a check up from the pediatrician. You were holding her hand, caressing the back of it from time to time just to reassure her that you're there. Sometimes your would just add how great she was doing and how strong it is.

'Home.', Allison whined as doctor was checking on one of her bruised legs. Few tears fell down her cheeks, which made your hear break. It was horrible to seeing anyone in that position, but especially a child.

'You're doing great, Allison. Just few more minutes, okay?', you said quietly, taking hair out of her forehead.

'I just need to check the other leg and then you can have a long nap, till morning. How does that sound?', doctor asked and written down something on her notepad.

'I think it's great! Do you, Sonnie?', you said with a happy voice, looking at a little girl. She just nodded, still pouting from her cry few seconds ago. 'I'll be right back.', you said when you heard familiar phone ring. Doctor nodded understanding, but Allison held your hand not wanting to let you go. ' Allison, I'll be back in few minutes. I just need to answer that call, okay? You will be able to see me through the glass. I'm not going anywhere and until then you'll stay with Doctor Ashley.', you explained.

She wasn't convinced at all. It took you few more minutes for to actually let go of your hand. You explained everything a least three times. Doctor eyed you few times, but you just tried to ignore her. After years of working with children you knew how long it sometimes takes to convince them. Especially the ones that have been seriously hurt. They just wanted someone to be with them through the whole process and you understood it one hundred percent.

You sent Allison a small smile, saying one more time, that you'll be back in few minutes. After that you left the room and took out phone, dialing number that called you before.

'Hi.', you heard deep, yet soft voice on the other side. You sighed and replied with the same thing. 'Long night?'

'Yeah and I can't even see the end of it.', you answered and heard your husband's laugh. 'It wasn't a joke.', you added, rolling your eyes.

'I know. But it's kind of ironic considering that the sun will be up in less than an hour.', Aaron said. You could hear him moving around the house. Walking from bathroom to bedroom, probably getting ready for work. 'How are the kids?'

'Fine, if you could say it after living in a basement for most of your life and posing for creepy middle aged men.', you answered, feeling the shivers on your arms. The images that you saw literally just came back. And you can expect they will be coming back more often, but this time in your nightmares.

'All alive?', Aaron asked. You could hear him doing something in the kitchen, which made you smile, still looking at Allison. You actually would do everything to be right now with him in that kitchen. Waiting for his famous muffins with bacon and eggs, like he would do whenever both of you had day off.

'Yes, all eight of them.', you nodded. 'You're heading to work now? It's a bit early, even for you.'

'Not yet.', he answered quickly. You could hear another chews from the other side, which actually made your stomach going louder. 'But yesterday I picked up from the post office that coffee table, that you ordered and I thought I would put it together.'

'You're gonna put a coffee table together? At-', you asked surprised, looking at the watch on your phone. '-4:38 in the morning? Are you okay?', you added with a laugh.

'What can I say? I'm just bored without you.', he answered. Right after that you heard a loud noise from the other side and a quiet curse from Aaron.

'You're okay?', you asked, furrowing you brows.

'Yes. I'm looking for the box with all the tools.', he replied. 'I think I'll ask Morgan about them. He'll know what I should use.'

'How about you leave it to me, huh? I'll do it, because we don't want another trip to ER. It'll be third time this year, they'll assume that I'm assaulting you.', you laughed, hearing just quick 'hey!' from your husband.

For the first time in hours you actually felt nice. You didn't had constant fear in your head about the case. You weren't even thinking about it, right now what you were thinking about was Aaron and that stupid coffee table. And he knew about it, that was the reason why he called. After you were in a car with Allison and two policemen, you texted him that the case was over and you're headed to the hospital with victims. Both of you always do it, just to reassure each other that the other person is fine. Aaron on top of that would always call you. He's a very light sleeper, even waking up when you stir in bed sometimes, so every vibrations of his phone wakes him up. No matter what the time is on the clock, he always calls you. He knows how much you love your job and how saving kids was your thing. You loved it, after few years in narcotics unit you know you found your place. But Aaron also knew that you get very into the cases and you involve yourself a lot and if the case goes wrong you blame yourself really hard. Especially being a unit chief, just like him. So he always tried to light the mood even just a little and talk about the day, whatever comes to his mind.

'You're staying in the hospital, right?', it almost wasn't a question. It wasn't anything new to be honest. A lot of the times you would comeback to the hospital with the victims and especially with this case. He knew it wouldn't be different. You were working on it for over a month and it was draining you.

'Don't think I have a choice.', you admitted, looking back at Allison who was also starring at you. The doctor stopped examination and was about to leave. 'One of the girls won't let me go.'

'Just be careful, okay? And take care. Don't forget to eat something.', he reminded, knowing the previous situations.

'I will.', you reassured him. 'I love you.'

'I love you too, sweetheart. Give me a call later in a day.', Aaron said and you agreed.

After you said your goodbyes, you put the phone in the pocket and went back to the room. Allison immediately opened her arms and you laughed coming closer.

'You're back!', she said loudly, which made you laugh even more. Doctor Ashley smiled at both of you and left the room.

'I said I will.', you reminded her, patting her head. You could clearly see the tiredness in her eyes and how hard she was trying not to fall asleep. 'I think it's good time for a sleep.', you proposed, but Jade just shook her head immediately, taking back. ' Allison, you need to sleep.'

'Not sleepy.', she answered quietly, putting knees closer to her chest. 'Don't want to sleep.'

'You've been awake for a long time, Sonnie. You need to rest. I do too. Everyone needs to sleep so they will have energy for the next day.', you explained, but she once again shook her head. 'I'll be there the whole time. Nothing's gonna happen to you. You're safe.'

'Seven minutes?', she asked, trying to stop the yaw. You nodded and observed how she put her head on the pillow, drifting away from the real world.

Aaron Hotchner looked at his watch for the tenth time in the last 8 minutes. He signed and went back to signing papers in front him.

It was a slow day. Most paper work days were slow, but this one was even slower. He just couldn't focus. His thoughts were everywhere but in that office. He was thinking about his wife and what she's about to at that moment, probably still at hospital with the little girl. It was literally breaking his heart when he was thinking about your job and side effects, but also about your personal issues.

Being married for almost six years and together over eight, was something he was very proud of. He loved you with his whole heart and couldn't see anyone but you. The whole team always loved to see when a woman would flirt with Aaron, because it was always so funny to see him nicely declining the actions. Aaron Hotchner was a strong man with a very intimidating vibe, his voice could literally break you into a meltdown and get when a woman would approach him his eyes would always look for you. He just couldn't see his world existing without you.

With that being said he also knows you very well. Whenever something was wrong, he could feel it. Just from the look in your eyes or movement. You almost didn't have to talk to have a conversation. He understood you without any words and so did you.

After long nights when there were only you two together, Aaron knew what you wanted. Be knew all your dreams and wishes. Where you would like to go for vacations or favourite cuisine. Things that he could control. He also knew about your dream job and family wishes. Things he couldn't control and everytime Aaron would think about this, his heart would break into thousand pieces. Because if he could he would give you everything that you wanted and to do that he would sacrifice anything he could.

Quiet sound of a clock, that was announcing noon, got Aaron out of his thoughts. He looked at the clock just to assure himself of the hour and pressed his lips into thin line. Then he just closed the files on the rest, took coat and walked out of the room. Aaron walked to his friend's office and knocked on the door. He opened them after quick 'come in'.

'Dave, I'm gonna be back in an hour.', Aaron said, looking at the older man working on his papers. He looked up with pen still between his fingers.

'Everything's okay?', Dave asked and got quick nod from Aaron. 'Y/N's at the hospital again?'

'Yeah, they finished the case few hours ago so I'm sure she hasn't ate anything since.', he explained. 'I'm just gonna bring her food and come back.'

'No problem. If anything happens, we'll call you.', David said, waving younger man off. Aaron just laughed and closed the door. Then he walked down the stairs, wanting to leave the office.

'Hey, Hotch! Are you going again to get some food?', Emily's voice stopped him from going further. He turned around to face not only her, but three other agents. 'You're going outside, right?'

'Yes, Emily.', he sighed. 'But I'm not going to the place you love to eat from.'

'I figured. But maybe you would want to do us a favor and go there? Since you're already going outside the office.', she explained and Derek started to come closer with JJ right behind him. 'Look, it's raining outside and it's pointless to have two wet agents in the office. We will pay for the gas and also your food, huh?'

'Just text me your order and I'll see what I can do.', Aaron said, rolling his eyes slightly. Then he turned around and started walking towards the elevators, still hearing voices of agents behind him, who were deciding on the order.

Pediatric floor of the hospital was as always busy. Kids running around, parents trying to keep up with them, crying children from everywhere you can imagine and on top of that walls with so many colours, that he thought that someone vomited on them. He had no problem of finding the room where you were. Of course with a help from nurses.

Aaron slowly opened the door from the hospital room. He was expecting for either you or the child to be asleep and he didn't want to wake anybody up. But the sight inside made just his heart to melt.

You were sitting on the couch with Allison sleeping in your arms. Her head was on your chest and arms were really tight around the back. Her moth were slightly open, just like yours. But you also had your head hung back and he was sure he'd hear your complaints about the neck pains for the next week.

Aaron slowly put the package with your favourite food and something tasty for children on the small table near the door. Then he took the blanket from the bed and put it over you and the little girl, knowing how cold you must be from laying down in one place for so long. After that he just put a light kiss on your forehead and with one last look he left the room.

Aaron got to the elevator and took out his phone, checking out one message from Emily.

If you are going to the place near the hospital and there's a girl with short red hair, then say that you would like to order for Agent Prentiss 😘

He furrowed his brows at the message and dialed her right away.

'Did I say something wrong?', she answered after one signal.

'How this girl supposed to know your order?', he asked, looking at the numbers of elevator going down.

'She'll know, trust me. I've been there many time.', Emily laughed and Aaron could practically see her smile through the phone.

'Whatever.', he sighed, hearing the ding from the elevator. 'Oh and Prentiss?', Aaron called and heard quick 'yeah' from the other side. 'Stop sending me emojis. It's highly unprofessional to do it to your boss and it's making me uncomfortable.', he ended, walking out of the hospital.

You could physically feel lighter closing the door to you home. Everything related to work you always tried to leave outside this house and treat this place like an escape. And it was a long few weeks, so you were nothing but happy and relieved that it's over.

The house was quiet and dark. You could only see dim light from the living room and just thinking about it made you smile. You took off your jacked and boots, leaving the bag at the usual place and started walking towards the light. As you saw Aaron sitting on the couch with his eyes closed, you smiled even wider. His feet were on the coffee table and he had a glass of whiskey in his hand.

You leaned on the door frame and with arms crossed on the chest, you observed him.

'I'm awake.', Aaron said with raspy voice. You knew that he was probably sitting here for a while already.

'I know.', you answered and started walking towards the cabinet with alcohols. 'Aaron Hotchner is at home before me. What's happening in this world? Did they closed the FBI building?', you joked while pouring wine into a glass and sitting next to him.

'Very funny.', he answered with a sarcasm. He put arms around your shoulders and kissed your temple.

'I actually am.', you said, taking a sip. 'But I'm glad you're here.'

'Anytime.', he hummed, placing one more kiss on your head.

'Except the time you're working.', you joked and he just rolled his eyes. 'Thank you for the dinner, by the way. Although I would get something to eat myself, you know?'

'Yeah, you would probably eat your first meal of the day right now. I know you, Y/N.', he said, caressing your arm. 'So, how's the girl?'

'Allison?', you asked, reminding yourself of her beautiful smile in your head. Aaron only nodded, taking a sip from his glass, telling you to continue. 'She's gonna be okay, I hope. But she went through a lot.'

'You got close to her.'

'Yeah.', you admitted. 'I know what you think, Aaron. I know that it's not a good thing, I Get close to those kids and then I come home and they're not there. I know how this looks like. But I swear I just want to help them.'

'I know. But also you need to realize, that when they'll go to foster care they won't have someone to look after them every minute they're there. That there's gonna be many more kids their age and the attention you're giving them right now won't be given to them anymore.', he finished, looking down at you.

'Maybe they don't have to go to foster care.', you whispered, hugging your husband closer.

'You want to adopt a child?', Aaron asked slowly getting to the conclusion and realizing something else. 'You wanna adopt Allison.'

'I do.', you admitted. 'But I won't do it.', you added, sitting straight. Aaron just gave you questioning look. 'They found her mother in Portland, she'll come and get her tomorrow. Ignoring the fact that she doesn't have any job, is living in a two bedroom apartment with four other roommates and all the money goes to the alcohol. Yeah, so Allison has a bright future ahead of her.'

'You never know.', he answered. You put head on his chest once again and laid there for few minutes in silence, trying to relax.

'So, you actually put that table together.', you said keeping the eyes in small brown table in front of you, with Aaron's feet on top.

'I thought you'll never notice.', he answered almost sounding hurt.

'Oh, I did. Just wanted to hold the suspension for a little while.', you smiled and kissed him on the lips. 'Derek did it, am I right?', you whispered, narrowing your eyes.

'No.', he answered simply.

'Liar.', you whispered again, kissing him one more time, but stopping after you hear his phone going off. 'Everything's okay?', you asked.

'Yeah, just Emily.' he answered, but started explaining seing your confused face. 'I gave Emily's number to one of the girls that she has crush on from the restaurant. And I guess she had a good evening.', he ended and showed you the text.

SSA aaron 'Hotch' Hotchner, you are truly THE  man 🥰🤭💗🍑

Queer Subtext in "The Guest" (Korean Dorama)

Or... how I justed wanted to watch a Gen Supernatural show and ended up falling for it's Beautiful M/M love story.

I don't know if you watch korean doramas, I do. This time I was on Netflix with my husband looking for a supernatural show, after watching a couple of it, and we crashed into "The Guest".

This attempt of analysis of the queer Subtext will have some spoilers so, If you don't want to be spoiled, jus scroll down. But go watch this show. Hahahaha

Disclaimed that, let's go to the East Sea...

Pansexual Flag for CHOI YOON and gay flag for HWA PYOUNG.

First apparition of Father Choi YOON, walking down a dark alley. You will find by his right, against a closed business shutter, Pansexual Flag Colors. What a presentation card for a priest, and is so symbolically beautiful, because philosophically, the spiritual leader should have the ability to love every creature, no matter what. So it applies to the decision of the writers to make Yoon linked to that kind of love.

Then we have Pyung, the medium. This boy is very enthusiastic, but he has surrounding him his grandfather and his best friend asking him, almost continually, to find a girl and get married. The poor medium doesn't answer, and he looks annoyed each time they mention that.

In one opportunity his grandfather asks if there's something wrong with him, and the boy snorts slightly, avoids eye contact and says, frustrated "No, grandpa."

Jumping to another scene... Yoon and Hwa Pyung are in the car, and Pyung's best friend, the shaman, is alone in another car. While they're talking by the phone, we can see behind the shaman the pride flag colors. And now you will ask... Why? Well... There's this part of the dialogue between Pyung and the shaman, in which he asks why he has to be alone in the car and Yoon and Pyung are together in the other car... Ahem... Pyung hungs the phone without answering. And the scene cuts to the shaman, with the pride flag in the background. The shaman frowns confused.

Nothing to add here...

Heart broken

There's two opportunities in which Pyung shows how heartbroken he was... Because of Yoon and how the writers wrote it with romantic subtext.

The first time Pyung faced Park Han, the assamblywoman, Choi YOON got mad and tells the detective he won't work anymore with Hwa Pyung.

Scenes after this, we have a very sad Pyoung in the shaman house, and his friend notices his sadness and asks if he was dumped.

Pyung looks somewhere and he repeats: "Yeah, I was dumped..."

Who just had dumped our cute medium? Well... Our cute priest.

Another scene in which he is in a worst depressed shape, again, in his best friend's house, he mentioned, gloomy, that at least someone is bothering him... Why? What had just happened in this episode? Well, Choi YOON said to him he couldn't trust him.

The shaman, insightful as he was, says that he looks too sad those days. And when Choi YOON goes surprisingly to his house, the shaman asks the priest if Pyung's depression is because he is in love with the detective. Well, kind of. I can't be very specific with the dialogues because I watched it with spanish subtitles. But that was the idea they transmitted.

Always looking when the other is not looking. And the handsome priest...

And remember in the police station when Pyung called Yoon the handsome priest that gives advises to the congregation in front of the cop?

Another huge subtext is Yoon looking at Pyung when he's not looking and Pyung looking at Yoon when he's not looking. Always related to sad things of their last being revealed or called back. And why is this meaningful and it has to be taken as queer Subtext or romantic?

Kang Hil Young is their female detective friend. As a very insightful person, she notices the relationship between these two boys and in the scenes, she's always separated from them but also she's a kind of nexus. Because both boys talk with her, instead of talk with each other, as the stubborn and shy boys in love they're.

All the "stealing glances" scenes are centered between Pyung and Yoon. And less about Hil Young. This is written on propose to show Yoon and Pyung relationship is different to Pyung and Hil Young or Yoon and Hil Young relationships. Because the boys have this aura between them, this romantic tension always around them. That doesn't happen when they're with Him Young.

The precious one, the fight and the "Titanic like" scene.

Pyung will ask Hil Young to save Yoon instead of him. He is determined to give his life in exchange of the priest. He calls Yoon THE PRECIOUS LIFE THAT YOUR MOTHER SAVED, when he asks Hil Young to take care of Yoon. Why would a bro ask to his friend to take care of his bro? Why he didn't ask to this bro to take care of his friend instead? 🤔😜

Pyung always showing up at Yoon's place after a hard day? Why Yoon? Why not Hil Young's place too?

Also the scene of Pyung trying to hide a talisman but at the same time, sliding his hand with it inside of Yoon's pants and Yoon gay panic face yelling: 'What are you doing?' And Pyung insisting in puting that talisman inside Yoon's pants and then failing, frustrated because Yoon discovered it was a tasliman?

Priceless... And gay.

The scene of the fight between Yoon and Pyung WAS HELLA DRAMATIC AND FULL OF ROMANTIC SUBTEXT!

First of all, we had that music playing while Yoon tried to force himself to believe Park Il do (the demon) was inside of Pyung, because if he wasn't... That's would mean the demon was possesing Father Yang, that was like a second father to our cute priest.

Second, both friends had UNSHED TEARS in their eyes.

Third: Pyung was too heartbroken to react.

Fourth, the Yoon ended up ON TOP OF HIM WITH HIS HAND ON HIS THROAT, that, my friends, was one of the most hot m/m scenes. They remained like that, not strangling, but just his hand holding his throat. Like... Yeah. Go get a room.

When they thought everything was finished. Pyung was staying in his town and called Hil Young asking her to bring his stuffs from his apartment. To which she replies 'why don't you ask Yoon?' And our shy medium replies "He's too busy."

So, Yoon and Pyung didn't call each other, but they both called Hil Young.

She asks Yoon to be nice with Pyung because PYUNG HAD ASKED HER TO TAKE CARE OF HIM INSTESD OF PYUNG. (Yeah, she confessed that to the priest)

And i suspect she told Yoon about Pyung asking her for his stuffs because the medium considered Yoon was TOO BUSY. Why? Because the scene in which Yoon shows up in Pyung's town to check the people that had been posseses, he calls Pyung.

Our cute medium goes immediately : BUY MEAT, I'M FEELING SICK, STAY TONIGHT TO SLEEP IN MY HOUSE, and what does reply the priest? I'LL THINK ABOUT IT. NOW I HAVE TO GO BECAUSE I'M TOO BUSY. And he hangs the phone smirking!!!! Translation?

'I'm too busy because you said I'm too busy to bring your stuffs! I thought you didn't want to see me and now you are too happy to see me!!?? Watch me flirt with you and show you I'm not that easy.

And also, the poor girl is so tired to be the third wheel...

When they said goodbye in the road, Hil Young goes inside the car but Yoon and Pyung were there... Trying to sound cool, and 'You did well's 'Yeah, you top's, like two dorks, while the female friend watched them as if she was saying COME ON!!! ARE YOU SERIOUS? At the end Pyung confessed he was about to give his life in exchange of Yoon's life... And shy priest just goes inside the car.

But everything goes to hell when Park Il Do posseses Pyung and tries to strangle Yoon.

What did our cute medium yell to the demon? 'Don't touch him! Don't you dare to touch him!"

Okay... Those are not words you would say for a not boyfriend bro.

Then... Scene in the water...

They-fucking-held-hands!!!!

Gif set credit @r-a-n-x-i-e

The scene is so romantic I showed my friend (who didn't watch the show) a gif and she said WTF IS THAT? TITANIC?

Because, yeah, hella gay. They hel hands and then... Pyung reacts and before pushing Yoon's hand to release him to the surface, he rubbed his freaking fingers!!!!!

Not to mention he wss carrying with the rosary the priest left in his hand under the water for one entire year even when he wasn't catholic!!! HE DID IT BECAUSE YOON GAVE IT TO HIM!

To Conclude:

The subtext of a queer love story was magnificencia displayed, but it was more beautiful to see how inncoents, and shy and cute these two were with each other. So if you wanna see a cute m/m love story plus friendship loyalty and action, watch this dorama. I plenty recommend it!

PS: I'm calling this ship PYOON!
