Misconstrued: Part 1

A/N: HELLO EVERYONE! First of all, I would like to thank you for the response you gave the preview I posted last night. Hopefully this will do it justice. Thank you so much again for all the support you have given me! Kind of went overboard and it was much longer than I expected. Enjoy this new multi-part series!

Anon: I don't know if this is too specific but could you do something about Angel ruining a date and later admits it because he loves them and then they have some angry smut and late night fluff

If you would like to be added to the tag list, let me know!

Your Tio Obispo was so lucky you love him. There was no bone in your body that wanted to go to a clubhouse party. All you wanted to do was stay home and sleep. He was lucky you decided to come even after going home to shower and change. You parked just outside of EZ’s trailer, not wanting to draw attention if you had gone all the way in.

It was a good night to host a party. The weather was quite good, not cold and not scorching hot. You didn’t wear anything special, just jeans and a shirt. It was a Barbeque, you didn’t need to wear anything crazy.

Walking in with a few other people, you made your way towards the clubhouse, but before you did, you spotted Angel sitting by the bonfire with a club hang around on his lap. For some reason, you’ve never seen him with any of them before and it definitely hit the point home that Angel would never be interested in you. He seemed like the type of guy who couldn't hide his feelings and was straight forward. Only thing he did with you was keep you company while you’re at the clubhouse and text you every now and then. You were certain that the only reason he hung around you was due to your tio’s request.

Pushing your glasses up the bridge of your nose, you entered the clubhouse in search of your tio. If you showed your face once, you could hide at EZ’s trailer for an hour or two and then head home. You’re pretty sure he’ll be wasted soon enough.

“Sweetheart,” you heard your tio call you. He just came out of Templo with Taza following after him.

“Tio, hey.” You wrapped your arms around Bishop once he was close enough to you.

“Glad you came, I thought you were just going to stay home, knowing how lazy you get.”

“Haha,” you rolled your eyes. Your relationship with your tio always seemed to be more brother-sister like than anything else. Your mother was much older than your tio, when he used to take care of you, he would teach you how to fix cars, change your oil, etc. He was the cool tio, but you still had that boundary and never overstepped it. “I wasn’t going to, but I didn’t want you to send your security after me.”

“It would most likely be Angel.” Bishop knew of Angel’s crush on you, it was hard not to notice. He always volunteered to do things when it came to you. At first he thought Angel took a liking towards you since you were new in town and he felt naive that he even thought that, but it became very apparent why he was always nearby.

“Yes, my own personal bodyguard.” You nodded your head. “Who is enjoying the women today, which works out for me so I don’t have to worry how much I bore him.”

“I don’t think you’re boring.” Bishop frowned. He knew it was difficult for you being an only child and with how overprotective your mother was, he was surprised that you didn’t want to choke her out at times. You yearn for freedom and he was certain it was the primary reason you chose to stay put in Santo Padre.

“Tio, it’s a joke, I know I’m not. But maybe you could rotate some? Angel doesn’t always have to be the one attached to me.” You two walked over to the bar, EZ manning it as always. “Give Angel a break.” EZ placed one of those ciders you liked drinking, mouthing a thank you.

Bishop was perplexed at your suggestion. He knew why Angel was always around you and he thought you knew as well. Angel was always around you, surely you had to take the hint that he had felt something towards you.

“What? Angel goes to you on his own accord. Contrary to popular belief, I didn’t actually sic any of them on you.”

“Oh,” you gnawed at your lip, a habit you developed when you were unsure of what to say or do. “I, I just thought you had Angel attached to me.”

“So that I can get an earful from you? No fucking way.” Bishop chuckled. Maybe at the beginning he did have Coco keep an eye on you, but otherwise, it was Angel’s own doing that led him to you.

You smiled as you took a sip of your cider. You didn’t want to drink much since you had to drive home. The cider didn’t have much alcohol content so you weren’t worried.

“Don’t cause trouble, I’ll grab you some meat.” Bishop left you to your own vices. He was very overprotective, but he tried not to be as overbearing as your mother. The last thing he wanted was for you to push him away.

“Where’s Angel?” EZ questioned you once Bishop walked away.

You shrugged. “Outside? He’s not on babysitting duty for once so he’s with one of the girls.”

EZ knew that Angel most likely didn’t know you were coming. Angel was definitely interested in you, but getting one in every once in a while wouldn’t hurt either. Angel was no angel after all. He had needs, they all did and it’s not like you two were official and from what he could see, it was one-sided, on Angel’s side.

“Aw, you know you’re not so bad either, besides the fact you can be an annoying smart ass.”

“Right back at ya Boy Scout,” you lifted your drink toward him, making EZ laugh.

“Y/N, hey,” you heard someone greet you.

Looking back, you saw Damien, who worked with the club from time to time. You weren’t exactly aware of what the affiliation was, but all you knew was that he was not a member of the club and was running some business.

“Hey, how are you?” You greeted him, turning so you could face him. “I rarely see you at these parties.”

“I come all the time, you’re always preoccupied by someone else.” Damien teased. “Glad you’re all alone so that I can have some of your attention.”

EZ wanted to gag at that. This guy was a quintessential douchebag. He lured girls in with his charm and usually disposed of them once he had them. The club worked with him before, but as far as EZ knew, they were no longer in business together.

“Attention? You can always come up to me, not like I bite.” You joked. You tried to recall if you ever saw Damien at any of these parties, but you were always with Angel. Hard to look elsewhere when you were with him. “Don’t worry about these guys,” you pointed at EZ. “Completely harmless.”

“Not my brother though,” EZ mumbled under his breath.

“What was that?” You turned to EZ, not quite heating his words.

“Nothing.”

You turned back to Damien. He was a good looking guy. Six foot two, muscular built, with slicked back brunette hair and hazel eyes. He was a definite eye candy.

“Are you busy next week?” Damien had to leave since he had promised his mother that he would drive down to Chino for some quality time.

“Um, depends when, I mostly just have work.” You tried to think of your schedule at the top of your head. You worked at the auto repair shop four days a week and the other days, you were at home doing orders for cakes, brownies and other baked goods.

“Saturday?”

“Should be fine, I get off work at 7, what’s up?”

“Would you like to go to the fair?”

“What?” You and EZ said in unison.

You and Damien both looked to EZ confused by his reaction.

EZ wished that Angel was here to stop it, if he even tried to stop it, people would misconstrued things and maybe this would be the fire under his brother’s ass to push him to do something.

“Sorry, Coco was mouthing something to me.” EZ looked across the room at Coco who was thankfully looking at him. He made some gesture at Coco who gave him a confused look. “I’m just gonna go see what he wants.”

You two watched him walk over to Coco, still confused by his reaction.

Damien knew why he reacted in that way and he should get an answer from you immediately before they reported to Angel. “Anyway, so, you down?”

“Are you asking me out on a date?” You haven’t been on a date with anyone at Santo Padre. Maybe it was a lack of trying on your part, but regardless, the dating scene in Santo Padre was nonexistent. You didn’t want to assume either, but it seemed like he was.

“Yes. If you want to go?” Damien knew if he fucked up, he would be six feet under. Despite the rumors, he was trying to be a decent guy and truly wanted to show you a good time. Just a plus if he scores afterwards.

“Sure, I’d love to go on a date with you.” You were kind of excited. This was your first date in years, but you kind of wished it was Angel who was asking you. Then again, you weren’t his type, so, why not explore the field?

“Everything good here?”

You thought you were hallucinating his voice, but you weren’t. Right behind Damien was Angel, holding a plate of food that you assumed was yours.

Damien turned around and backed away to the side. He was slightly afraid of Angel after seeing him fight a few times in the ring. He knew Angel was some sort of watchdog for you however, seeing the last few times you two were together, he was almost certain Angel was interested in you.

“I was just talking to Y/N. But I got to go, so I’ll see you both later.” He placed his empty beer on the bar. “See you next week?”

“Yes, see you next week.” You nodded your head, offering him a small smile.

Damien quickly made his exit. Angel’s eyes were trained on you, not paying any mind to Damien. He wasn’t sure why Damien was speaking to you, but it didn’t matter, he was leaving.

“Querida, why didn’t you tell me you would be coming? I could have picked you up.” As far as Angel knew, you weren’t coming to the party. You texted him that you were swamped at work and all you wanted to do was sleep.

You really hated it when Angel spoke in Spanish, it made the butterflies in your stomach run wild and it was just annoyingly sexy. “I wasn’t, but tio wouldn’t let me say no. Something about not wanting me to be alone.”

‘I could keep you company.’ Angel thought.

“Here, I brought you food.” He placed the plate in front of you. “I marinated the ribs.” He proudly informed you.

“You are pretty good with your meat.” You paused. You two looked at one another and smirked. “That’s what she said.” You and Angel said in unison, laughter erupting from the both of you. “You don’t have to keep me company, I’m going to take my food to EZ’s trailer, kill two hours and then go. At least I showed myself and tio doesn’t have to give me flack for not coming.”

“I’ll stay with you.” Angel was entertaining someone earlier, but as soon as Bishop informed him that you were here, he made his way over to you.

“Don’t be silly, I saw you talking to a girl earlier, just go back to her.” You tried your best to not sound bitter or jealous. You really hated that you weren’t Angel’s type, but it was the story of your life. Bad boys don’t go for the good girls as they believe in movies and television. They befriend them sure, but nothing else. “Get your dick wet.” You wanted to cringe at that one, but you always spoke to Angel with no filters, yet you couldn’t tell him you like him.

“I’m good, I’ll stay here.” He grabbed some fries that were on your plate. “I may have gotten the food for both of us.”

You laughed. “I was hoping so because I don’t think I eat this much.”

“What did pretty boy want?” Angel took the seat beside you.

“Damien? He asked me out on a date.” You took some fries and ate some as well. You mentioned it so casually that Angel took some time to reply to you.

“He did what now?” Now he was on his shit list. He had no claim on you, he knew that, but that didn’t mean he was happy about this. To top it off, now it made sense why Damien was always watching you, but he stayed away since Angel was always around. The one time he left you alone, Damien was able to slide in. Where the fuck was EZ? He knew his little brother manned the bar, he should have prevented it.

“Right? It’s kind of unbelievable, but yeah, I guess we’re going out next Saturday.” You shrugged and ate some of the carne asada on your plate. “It’d be nice since I haven’t been on a date for a while.”

“Wait, why is it unbelievable?” You haven’t been on a date in a while

“I don’t know, no one has asked me out around here, figured it was cause I was so unattractive.” Self esteem issues were a bitch. It was hard not to think that something was wrong with you when men didn’t ask you out.

“Mi dulce, you’re the most beautiful girl I know, don’t ever think that.” Angel placed his hand on top of yours.

You felt your cheeks hit up and the butterflies in your stomach just went berserk.

“You’re such a sweet talker.” You moved your hand and turned to the food so you could start eating.

Angel loved seeing the blush on your cheek. He liked knowing he had some sort of affect on you, especially since he was fucking in love with you.

Yep.

Angel Reyes was fucking in love with the president’s niece.

It wasn’t his fault. It really wasn’t.

You barged into his life and there was really nothing he could do.

He was powerless against you and he honestly didn’t care.

=====================

“This is fucking stupid.” Angel heard EZ complaining at the backseat of the van. He was driving with Gilly at the front passenger seat and Coco behind him.

“No one asked you to come Ezekiel.”

“Asked me to come? You fucking forced me in the car.” EZ scoffed. “No choice Boy Scout, you do as your sponsor says.” EZ rolled his eyes, mimicking Angel’s words. “What does this have to do with club business?”

“Feel like we wouldn’t be doing this if Angel grew a pair and spoke with his dick like he always did.” Coco shook his head.

But that’s the thing, Angel couldn’t listen to his dick with you.

This was different.

You were Bishop’s niece, he couldn’t exactly go guns ablazing. He stayed away from you cause you were related to Bishop, keeping you at arm's length. But it was so difficult to keep you at arm's length when you were so damn charming. You didn’t even do much. You hooked him with one smile and he was fucking done. He felt like an idiot, like a teenager boy with a crush, but all you had to do was fucking introduce yourself. Bishop brought you by when you first moved two years ago. His sister, your mother, wanted to be close to her baby brother, so she decided to move to Santo Padre. But your mother was only able to stand the heat for so long before she went back to Oakland. You stayed behind, liking the work you found at one of the auto shops down the street from the scrapyard. It was owned by one of Bishop’s friends. Due to the closeness of the shop and scrapyard, you were always around and it was difficult to ignore you.

“Why haven’t you told her you like her?” Gilly questioned. “It’s not like Bishop doesn’t know.”

“He doesn’t think he’s good enough for her.” EZ answered for him.

“Fuck you Ezekiel.”

“Angel, what makes you so incompatible with her?” EZ hasn’t been around long, but even he could see his brother hung onto every word you said. It was actually quite fun to see. Whenever you were at the clubhouse, Angel stuck to you. No girls, no shooting his shit with his brothers, nothing else caught his attention. Whenever you would talk about the new cookies or cake you baked, Angel listened. Whenever you animatedly talked to him about the new car you fixed the last few days, he listened. He didn’t give a fuck about the baked goods or the cars, all he cared about was listening to you. It was cute. You were the good girl that the bad boy wanted, EZ had to say you weren’t Angel’s type, but you had his older brother hooked. “She isn’t your usual type, but I figured you dabbled in every pool.” He knew his brother felt more for you than any other women around. But he could never pass up a chance to tease Angel.

“My type, the fuck is that supposed to mean?” Angel looked at his brother through the rearview mirror.

“She technically is his type, she has a pussy.” Gilly joined in with teasing Angel.

“Don’t talk about our hermana like that.” Coco scowled at Gilly. “Y/N is special, she’s a good girl, untainted. Angel doesn’t do good girls cause they want commitments, something he can’t offer.”

“I’m fully capable of holding a relationship assholes. I was with Gabriella for like,” he paused, knowing his argument was not going to hold. “Fuck, how long was I with her?”

Gilly and Coco laughed loudly while EZ chuckled, shaking his head.

“You see? Come on Angel, if you’re not serious about her, let’s just turn around.” EZ was trying to use reverse psychology on his brother. He knew Angel hated it when people doubted him, counted him out. Maybe if they pushed his buttons a bit, he would get with the damn program.

“We’re not going for her, I don’t even know where she is.” Angel scoffed. He was lying, but these fuckers didn’t need to know that. “You fuckers don’t want a night of fun at the fair?”

“At the same fucking fair that Y/N is going to?” Gilly was amused. It was fun to see Angel head over heels over a woman.

“Oh, that’s the one she’s going to?” Angel smirked. He was a bastard, he knew, but he got the details of your date from EZ. He should have pulled his head out of his ass long ago, but Damien was a punk. He portrayed himself to be a good guy, but he was a perverted douchebag.

“I feel like you could have saved us the trouble.” EZ scoffed. “Angel, what’s your game plan? What are you going to do? Just listen to her like you always do and not say you like her?”

“When we get out of this car, I’m beating your ass.” Angel threatened.

Coco, Gilly and EZ laughed. If they were being honest, they tagged along to see what the fuck their brother was going to do. It was like uncharted territory for Angel. He went for easy girls who fell at his feet, they were easy, noncommittal, easy to leave. But you, that’s not how it worked, which made him out of his element. He’s had relationships before, but this was different. You two weren’t even together but he saw your future together. It was the reason he avoided you. Seeing a future with someone was daunting on anyone but for Angel? The guy who didn’t think he would ever find someone? It was something else.

When EZ came home, he thought you would drift to EZ, you like books as much as he did, fuck you two had a hell of a lot more in common than you and Angel. But instead you two bantered like siblings and it was an actual amusing site to see.

“I don’t even know why you like her, she’s obnoxious.” EZ didn’t actually mean that, but you were the sister he never fucking wanted. He couldn’t even imagine how Angel fell for you, you definitely were not his fucking type. But his brother could have changed in the last eight years, like becoming an actual mature adult, he has still yet to see that.

“Watch what you say about Angel’s girlfriend.” Gilly looked back at EZ. “Oh wait, she’s on a date.” The three men laughed with the exception of Angel.

“Funny shit, fuck you three.” Angel grumbled.

Angel was relieved that they got to the fair and parked the car just so he didn’t have to be in the car with these assholes.

Getting out of the car, Angel smoothed out his kute and made his way towards the entrance of the fair with his usual three partners right behind him.

He wasn’t going to ruin your date, but he had to make sure that Damien kept his hands to himself.

=====================

You giggled as your date, Damien finished telling you a story about his silly dog. You were so happy this date was going well, especially since you haven’t been to one in years. You decided to wear your contacts today in case you and Damien decided to ride some of the rides.

“You should meet him some time.” Damien commented as you two walked side by side.

Your hands were in your jean pockets and Damien has been trying to hold your hands, but you just kept it in there or if it was in there, your arms were crossed. He also wanted to make sure you were comfortable before he did anything. He knew that if even a hair on you was harmed, the MC would come looking for him.

“Your dog? Yeah, that would be great. I love dogs.” You always wanted a dog, but your mother was not the biggest fan. You’ve been thinking about getting a dog, but you just haven’t found the right one as of yet.

“German shepherds are very intuitive and they’re great dogs.”

“They definitely are.” You nodded your head. “So, can I ask you a question?”

“Sure.” You two were waiting in line to get some funnel cake, thankful that not that many people were here so you can get to the sweet treat faster.

“Why did you ask me out on a date? Don’t get me wrong, we’ve met, but you haven’t exactly spoken to me.” It was always a short pleasant conversation between you and Damien. A quick hello, goodbye, how are you’s and he was on his way. It’s not like you thought you were some horrendous looking person, but it just made you wonder why it took him so long to ask you out.

“I’ve always wanted to, but your uncle can be quite intimidating and Angel basically put out word that you’re untouchable.” It was true. He was warned off by Creeper that you were off-limits. At first he thought it was Bishop, but it became more apparent it was Angel. Any man who approached you during club parties was immediately turned away by Angel. At first he wasn’t certain if Angel was acting on Bishop’s orders, but when he noticed that Angel, who usually was surrounded by women, didn’t pay attention to any other woman but you, he knew then that it was Angel’s own doing. He asked himself why he asked you out knowing Angel would hunt for his blood, but as he saw it, you were single and were free to do as you please.

“Angel?” Your heart quickened a bit and for some strange reason, you heard his voice as well.

“Querida,” it was Angel’s favorite term of endearment for you. At first you thought he called everyone that, but it seemed that it was reserved for you as of late. You knew it was his way of being charming, but you couldn’t help it when your heartbeat quickened cause of it.

You turned around and found Angel and his usual suspects with him. His eyes roamed over your body and you couldn’t help, but blush. Angel’s eyes were always so intense, yet warm. He noticed your glasses weren’t on and he thought how much better he liked the glasses on you.

“Angel,” you said in some sort of disbelief. “What are you guys doing here?”

“We came to enjoy the fair, surprised to see you here.” He looked over you and at Damien, narrowing his eyes. It was his warning to him. He may have passed by him once, but it wasn’t going to happen tonight. “Damien.”

“Angel.”

The greetings were curt and you could feel the tension rise. You were still confused at Angel’s presence, but it showed you one thing, the butterflies didn’t come till Angel came. Your mother always told you that when the butterflies in your stomach fluttered, whoever did it for you was someone you would be someone special. Your mom was a die hard romantic person. You weren’t exactly all that romantic, but you definitely didn’t believe in fairy tales.

“Y/N, you wanna go get some ribs? I just realized we haven’t eaten.” Damien had to get you away before Angel could sink his claws and interrupt your date.

“Sure.” You looked at the three troublemakers behind Angel, giving them a questioning look and the three stooges fucking shrugged at you.

Damien attempted to lead you away, but Angel grabbed your arm.

“We’re all here together, we might as well stay together. Right querida?”

You opened your mouth, but nothing was coming out. You were enjoying your date, but seeing Angel changed the atmosphere. You couldn’t play this game. Damien was genuinely interested in you and you wanted to give him a chance. You weren’t even sure where you stood with Angel, it doesn’t matter anyway.

“No, it’s okay, Damien and I are going to get ribs. Enjoy your night guys.” You gave each of the Mayans members a hug and when you got to Angel, you tried to make it brief. You hated hugging Angel, he was always so intoxicating. If you lost yourself in that hug it was a done deal.

Grabbing Damien’s hand, you dragged him away from the group. You were going to continue and have fun, fuck Angel Reyes.

“Wow, that went well.” EZ commented. He couldn’t help it, it was rare he could pull Angel’s leg like this.

“Ezekiel, not fucking right now.” Angel watched you walk away, with Damien turning back to throw him a grin. “Motherfucker has me fucked up.” He took out a cigarette and lit it up.

“So what’s the game plan?” Gilly questioned.

“We enjoy the fair.”

Somehow, they knew that wasn’t exactly what was going to happen.

You were starting to get irritated. At every corner you turned, the Mayans were there. You were certain that your tio didn’t send them since he already threatened Damien at your apartment. But you never know, he may have had a sudden change of heart. You just wished it wasn’t four fucking members. That was like half of their charter.

“Is it me or are Angel and the other members following us?” Damien turned back and sure enough, there they were just hanging around.

Angel was leaning against one of the poles that was holding a game together, smoking his cigarette just looking at you. He winked at you and you scowled at him. You would like to think Angel was a friend, why was he here?

“Don’t pay them any attention.” You brushed them off.

“Why won’t I win you a prize, get you a memorabilia of this fun night we had?” Damien offered.

You laughed, nodding your head. “That sounds like a plan to me.”

Damien led you to a knock the bottle game. He knew he had this, he was a star baseball player back in the day, if it wasn’t for an injury, he would have been big time now. He had this. After four tries, Damien won you a small bear, which was very sweet. You appreciated the effort.

“Here you go beautiful.” Damien handed your bear to your

“Such a small prize for such a beautiful girl.” Angel whistled, sitting beside where you stood, shaking his head. “I can win you a bigger one preciosa.”

“I’m good Angel, you know it’s not always about the size.” You smirked at him, even throwing a wink.

“Perhaps, but for the record, mine is pretty thick and long.” He licked his lips and you swear to god, you wanted to smack that annoying smirk off his face. “Come on, let me win you one. I always told you that if we go to the fair, I would try to win you a prize.” Angel was talking to you as if Damien wasn’t a few feet away. And your attention was on Angel, as much as you hated to admit it. But this was a conversation you had before, he told you that if you two ever went to the fair, he would win you a prize. You two had spoken about how you thought it was sweet when guys won girls prizes, it was very sweet.

“Fine, you get one shot.” You don’t know why you gave Angel the okay, but you figured if Angel didn’t get any hits, it would bruise his ego and he would leave you alone so you could enjoy whatever was left of your date.

Angel took some money out of his pocket and gave it to the worker. Angel got three balls to get the bottles that were stacked together.

“Which one do you like, baby girl?” Angel questioned.

“Surprise me.” You looked over at EZ, Coco and Gilly who were far too amused by this whole situation. “Are you three going to try too?”

“No, this is all Angel hermana.” Coco took a bite out of his churro, enjoying this whole situation. He always advised Angel to just bite the bullet, but as always, Angel was as stubborn as they come. “Just watch your man win you something.”

You bit your tongue, not correcting Coco. You pretended you didn’t hear him.

“Wanna give me a kiss so I can have some good luck?” Angel playfully teased you, offering his cheek to you.

“Just throw the ball Reyes.” Damien finally spoke up.

You turned to him and gave him a sheepish smile. “This will be done soon, he won’t hit anything.”

Angel smirked at your words. He threw the ball and all the bottles were knocked out. Damien’s mouth slightly dropped along with yours. Coco, Gilly and EZ all cheered him on, yelling out their congratulations.

“I know them down two more times and she gets the big one?” Angel questioned the teenager that was working the booth.

He nodded his head.

And Angel did it. One throw for all of them. He smugly looked over at you and held his arm out towards the booth.

“Whatever you want mi dulce.”

You didn’t want to give him the satisfaction, but you were quite impressed. “I told you, surprise me.”

Angel chuckled and nodded his head. He wasn’t sure what you were trying to play at, but he knew you, after taking a random trip to the San Diego Zoo, he knew every fucking animal you liked. “Let me get the giraffe.” He handed it over to you, the giraffe had a long neck and was surprisingly soft. You couldn’t help but blush and look down at your feet. It was a habit you had, it was hard for you to look at the person you like in the eye. “You want more?”

“No, she’s good.” Damien had enough of Angel showing him up. This was his date, he wasn’t going to let Angel ruin it. “You want to go to the ferris wheel before we leave?”

“Sure,” you nodded your head. “Thanks Angel, have fun with whatever else you guys do.” You couldn’t exactly tell Angel that you really appreciated the gesture, especially since he remembered your favorite animal was a giraffe.

As you walked away, you tried your hardest to not turn around and look at Angel. You would have just ran back, besides, Angel was just being nice. He was always nice to you, very sweet as well. But you didn’t want to assume that he had feelings for you. A similar situation occurred to you a few years back and the guy was just being nice to you due to your connection to the Mayans charter in Oakland. It stung, but you promised yourself then that you would not assume things and always wait for confirmation from the person’s mouth. No telephone game, people misconstrued things and that’s what led you to believe that the guy had feelings for you.

“I’m really sorry, I don’t know why Tio Bishop sent them here.” You apologized to Damien as you two made your way to the Ferris wheel.

“It’s okay, they’re like the older brothers you’ve never had.” It was true. You had mentioned it to him that the Mayans felt like and extended family to you. A bunch of misfits that you never would have thought would become your family but they did. The charters up north always took care of you and your mother, checking on you weekly to make sure you ladies were taken care of. Damien was trying to be understanding of the situation, but he knew what Angel was trying to do. And he couldn’t let him win.

“Yeah, they are.” With the exception of Angel, cause that would be odd.

They were close to the Ferris wheel, Damien figured he could make his move on you then, no Angel to distract you. There was no line so you and Damien were slated to go next, but you weren’t exactly sure how it happened. The next thing you knew, you and Angel were in one of the capsules making its way up.

“What the fuck are you doing?” Damien growled out at the Mayan members.

“You know she’s Angel’s girl, you knew this was going to happen.” Gilly wasn’t exactly sure what Damien expected out of this whole situation, but everyone who hung out at the club knew that you were off-limits. If being Bishop’s niece didn’t drive them away, it was Angel’s closeness to you that should have.

“They’re not together. He doesn’t even know if she feels anything for him.” Damien didn’t want to push his luck, but he was also getting annoyed. He wasn’t going to let them push him around.

“Doesn’t matter, you fucked up.” Coco scoffed.

“It’s interesting how much shit you’re spewing out when Angel isn’t around.” EZ smugly pointed out.

“Angel can go fuck himself. I’m sorry he didn’t have the balls to ask her out on a date, but tough shit. He’s not the only one interested in her.”

“What are you trying to gain from this? You think you're gonna bed her like your other girls?” Coco was curious as to why Damien decided to ask you out. He’s seen him lurking around, but he never tried to make a move since again, you were always with Angel, Gilly or himself. It was hard to penetrate that wall.

“That’s none of your business.” Damien venomously spat out at them, looking at the ferris wheel.

“Don’t make it our business, be smart about this then.” EZ warned.

You looked at Damien who was being held by Coco and Gilly while EZ waved to you and Angel.

“This is absolutely ridiculous.” You scolded Angel. “I’m on a date! I don’t know what my lovely tio told you, but please leave so I can enjoy what’s left of it.”

“Come on amor, you know you’re not enjoying yourself.” Angel scoffed.

“I was, till you and your three stooges came.” You slightly turned your body away from Angel, crossing your arms and looking out the windows in the Ferris wheel capsule.

“You were really having fun with Damien?” Angel knew you weren’t very happy with him, but he didn’t give a fuck. He was saving you from this asshole.

“Yes, I mean he’s a decent guy Angel, it’s a date not a marriage.” You refused to look at him. You kept getting mixed signals from Angel and you weren’t exactly brave enough to ask him questions about it.

“Look, I think I should be honest with you here.” Here it was. Angel was going to tell you that he was just messing around and that he was just following orders. No biggie. You weren’t going to be affected at all since you expected it. “I like you.”

“And I like you too when you’re not being a prick.”

“No, I like you, as in I have feelings for you. Seeing you with Damien is driving me crazy so I followed you here to make sure nothing happens between you two.”

It was silent for a few moments between you two which made Angel nervous. This wasn’t the first time he confessed to a woman, but this felt different. The air was heavier if that made any sense.

“Angel, this is going above and beyond my tio’s orders.” You spoke up, happy that the ride was making its descent.

He gave you an incredulous look, eyes wide and confused. “Orders? You fucking think I developed feelings for you through an order? The fuck do you think this is? Is it so unbelievable for me to have feelings for you?”

“No, it’s just, why would you like me? I’m not your type.” That was such a weak excuse but from what you gathered you weren’t his type.

“My type? How would you even know my type?”

“Observations? I don’t know.” Your knee began to shake, an indication that you were becoming anxious, something Angel picked up with all the time he spent with you.

“You have nothing to be nervous about.”

You felt the walls closing in around you. Escaping this option was not an option right now since you were still at least six feet above ground.

“I’m not nervous, I,” you sighed. “This shouldn’t be hard, but I always thought you hung around me cause tio requested for you to do so.”

“Believe me, your tio requested for Coco and Gilly to do it, I was drawn to you because of you.”

“Did Coco tell you about my crush on you? Because I feel like there’s a way to let me down without leading me on.”

Crush? You had a crush on him?

“Querida, what are you talking about?”

“Stop, don’t call me that. The pet names make this all that much more confusing.”

“What? Y/N, I’m not leading you on.”

The door opened and you immediately got out with Angel hot on your trail. “Damien can you take me home?”

“No, she’s good, I’ll take her home.” Angel stepped in between you two.

You glared at the back of Angel’s head which was seen by EZ, Coco and Gilly.

“I would really like to end my date at my house Angel, thank you for the offer.” You stepped away from Angel and walked over to Damien, grabbing his hand and making your way towards the exit.

Angel watched your disappearing form and let out a yell of frustration.

“She’s fucking insane!” He yelled out.

The three tried to keep their laughter in, but it was just so difficult for them.

“I’m glad you are all having fun at my expense.” Angel walked away from the three, grumbling under his breath.

“How was the ride?” Coco questioned.

“I told her I had feelings for her and she told me that I was going above and beyond my orders. The fuck is that supposed to mean?” Angel took out his sixth cigarette in the span of two hours.

“You’re smart bro, you know what she’s insinuating.” Gilly patted his brother on the back. “Maybe it’s time to take a different approach.”

“Again, if you just ask her out on a fucking date, this wouldn’t be so difficult.” EZ really didn’t know why his brother has been playing this game for years. It was like he was so afraid to be rejected. If he didn’t play confidant and immediately asked you out, then you two would be together and they wouldn’t be playing this game for Angel.

“Like what?” Angel questioned Gilly, ignoring EZ.

“You should play hard to get.”

****flashback****

You were standing at your locker putting your books away when you felt a tap on your shoulder. You turned around and saw the face of one of your best friends

“hey handsome” you looking into your best friends big brown eyes

“hello beautiful” he smiled

“Rosies after school? Me you and couple.milkshakes?” he asked

“you know me so well Montgomery!” you smiled

“that's only because I've known you like my whole life!”

You went on with your day going through all your classes. The final bell rang. You were at your locker putting away your books when Monty showed up.

“ready Freddy?” he smiled

“ready” you laughed walking towards his jeep. You sat in Rosies and ordered your milkshakes. You and monty talked about your day until they showed up. As you took a sip of your milkshake monty asked you a question you weren't sure you understood right.

“wanna be a couple?”

“what?” you answered wide eyed

“I like you, I want to be your boyfriend!”

You stared at your best friend now sure how to answer.

“so is that a yes or no?” he asked with a smile

“yes oh my god yes!”

Monty got out the booth and came and sat next to you. He grabbed your chin and lifted your head up and softly kissed your lips.

Monty was coming over for a sleepover. It wasn't the first time he slept over, but this time was different. You had been dating for six months now and you were ready to lose your virginity to him. When he came over, he had no plans on having sex, since he respected that you wanted to wait. When you told him you were ready he was very nervous. He was gentle and very kind to you. He took it slow and made it feel special. You were how cuddled in bed wrapped up in his arms. He kissed your forehead.

“you know, I've never felt anything like this before. You make me want to be a better person.”

“awe thanks Monty. And ya Im new to these feelings everything is just so new.”

“I love you Y/N”

You smiled “I love you too Monty”

“coming” you yelled walking out of your room in your Cinderella dress. As you got the the top of the stairs you saw your parents talking with monty. Monty looked up and saw you and his jaw dropped.

“wow babe you're beautiful!!” he exclaimed as you walked down the stairs.

“Thank you, you're looking pretty handsome yourself!” you smiled with blushy cheeks.

He put his hands on your waist and pulled you into a kiss.

“you guys are so cute! Let me take a picture” your mom said taking her phone out.

You and monty posed for a good ten minutes in the house, outside, where ever your mom wanted. A limousine drove up and all your friends came out!

“oh my gawd you two are too cute!!!!!!” Jessica yelled getting out the limo.

“everyone get together” your mom yelled holding her phone. You all posed for your mom and headed out to the prom.

You danced and hung out with your friends all night. Parents met up with their children later on in the evening for the banquet supper. After supper, principal Bolan came up on stage to announce the prom king and queen. He said a big speech congratulating all of the seniors.

“and finally the moment you've all been waiting for, for the class of 2018 prom king and queen are

Montgomery De La Cruz and

Y/N Y/L/N”

Everyone cheered and clapped. Your parents got up and started taking pictures of you and monty on stage with your crowns. Monty grabbed the mic from principal Bolan

“hey guys. Thanks for voting us your prom king and queen! Now I know today is suppose to be about all of us and all but there's something I've been wanting to do for a while now. And you all know we've been a couple for the last four years.” the whole crowd started woo-ing and clapping “y/n has made me a better person all around. I mean I've been scouted by the MLB, I graduated and I've managed to keep her happy for 4 years” he turned to face you “I love you so much Y/N and honestly I don't know what Id do without you.” he got down on one knee pulling out a ring and the whole room went silent “will you marry me? And be my forever?”

You looked at him on his knee and started crying. “yes yes YES” you said as he stood up and jumped into his arms!

you laughed and finished your makeup.

You could hear the wedding March song play as your bridesmaids made their way down the aisle. It was finally your turn. Arms locked with both your parents, you made your way down the aisle crying happy tears. The minute monty saw you he started crying. You slowly walked up the aisle your dad letting you go In Front of Monty. You both stared at each other crying.

The priest went on with the ceremony talking

“Monty do you take Y/N to be your wife?”

“I do”

“Y/N do you take Monty to be your husband”

“I do”

You both put your rings on each other.

“you may now kiss the bride”

After 12 hours of labor our babies have arrived!!! Jefferey Harris De La Cruz, named after my brother and dad and Jeremy Montgomery De La Cruz, because we both loved the name Jeremy and Monty begged to give our son his name.for middle name.

****flashback****

As soon as you guys got back from your honeymoon monty had to return to baseball. It saddened you but you were both enjoying the fact that he had been scouted by the mlb and was given the chance to do what he dreamed of!

You had been feeling nauseous for about two month or so before it clicked that you hadn't had your period in almost two month.

You drove to the store and bought a pregnancy test. It came out positive. You were so excited. You called up Monty.

“hey Mrs. De La Cruz how's it's going?”.your husband laughed

“I have great news for you!”

“so do I!!! We're in town for the next bit.. I'm coming home tonight!!”

“oh my god no way!!! OK well I'll go clean up a bit and make us supper”

”no no no you called to tell me.something”.

“I'll see you tonight and tell you then. I love you”

You cleaned the house up and made Monty's favorite supper, steak and potatoes. You had everything set up and ready to eat when he walked in. You both sat enjoyed your supper. when came time for dessert you had something special for.him. you walked towards him with a.box.

“these are for you babe” you said handing him the box. Opened it and started crying right away. You had made chocolate brownies and In the box you wrote “eat up mommy doesn't wanna be the only one with a belly”.

“oh my god Y/N are you serious??” he asked looking at you, happy tears in his eyes

“yes I am! I'm pregnant”

Monty never missed a doctors appointment. And was always there even if he had to fly from where he was.to fly back that night he never wanted to miss a thing. And when you found out you were having twins he was ecstatic!!!

“twin boys.two mini mes in the house.. You'll never get bored now baby! Running around little Jefferey and Jeremy”

“Jefferey and Jeremy?” you questioned

“well I figured out first son should be named after your brother. And Jeremy just sounds nice with Jeff. So Ya!”

You had tears in your eyes. “you know you're the best right!!!”

“That's not all how.about Jeremy Montgomery!” you looked at him and laughed.

“what??? It's gotta nice ring to it!! Please baby”

“fine fine Jefferey Harris and Jeremy Montgomery!” he picked you up and hugged you tight.

****end falshback****

Wednesday February 17 2021

They say people lose their sex drives once they hit adulthood. I call bullshit. I mean we're still young were both 22 but still. After having the twins Monty had to leave almost right away and didn't come home for close to a month. When he came.home we decided to have sex. Like any couple. And that's how I ended up here again 😂 ten months between having children. Today we welcomed Hannah Y/N De La Cruz.

Wednesday September 3 2025

Today my boys started kindergarten!!! They're getting so old… Oh my god. I cried so hard… still am.

****Flashback****

You were at the store school supply shopping with the Jefferey and Jeremy. They looked like Montgomery. Spitting image of him. But they were so different. One wanted red everything the other wanted blue everything. If Jefferey chose something Jeremy chose something different. Which made it fun and easy to tell all their things apart. They got home and were so excited.

“daddy”

“daddy guess what colour I am???”

“Hmmm Jeff you're blue and Jeremy you're red.”

The boys looked at each other.

“wow he's good!” Jeff said to Jeremy

The next day you all drove to school that morning to drop them off. You hugged yoir boys goodbye and started to cry as they walked towards the doors.

“oh baby it's OK they'll be fine” Monty said reassuringly

“I'm gonna miss them so much monty” you cried hugging him

“mommy you still have me!!” Hannah smiled showing off her teeth.

“I love you guys!” you said hugging your daughter and husband.

**** end flashback****

Wednesday September 2 2026

Now my house will forever be quiet. And lonesome. My baby girl started school. What will I do with myself now???? In this big house, with no one. 😭😭😭

****flashback****

“Hannah honey let's go school supply shopping for tomorrow.” you yelled up the stairs

“NO I wanna go with daddy!!!!” she was angry.

“Hannah daddy's not home he's working.”

“I want daddy!!!”

“how about I take you and we video chat him after?”

“can we video chat him while we're there?”

“deal now let's go your brothers are already in the car.”

You got the store and video chatted Monty.

Hannah had to have his approval on everything before she could decide if she wanted it. It was so cute. This little one had Monty wrapped around her finger since the day she was born.

Everyone went to bed early that night. When you woke up you could smell food. You panicked and hurried downstairs.

“what's going on” you asked expecting to see your boys getting Into trouble.

“you didn't think I was gonna a miss my princess first day of school did you??” Monty asked as he set the table up for breakfast.

You could hear footsteps running down the stairs.

“DADDY” all three of them yelled as they jumped on Monty.

You all are together as a family and went off to school.

You cried as you said your goodbues to your baby.

“the house is going to be so quiet without her.” you cried as Monty and you made your way back to the car.

“it's OK babe” he said hugging you

“you're never around and the kids are all In school full time.. I'll have the house to myself.. It's so big and quiet.”

“invite Jessica over have Day parties” he laughed.

“I wish I had you” you cried.

Monty hugged you tightly

****end flashback****

Wednesday October 4 2034

What an emotional day!!! My hubby retired from the mlb at 35!!!! He's considered a little old. 😂😂 but he played for years!!!! Now I get him all the time In our empty house!!! :)

****Flashback****

“baby I've decided something” Monty said to you making you sit down on your leather couch.

“what?”

“after this season of baseball, I'm gonna retire. Ive been gone for so long, I missed so much of our children's life, I know I can never makeup for it, but I'd like to start making memories with them While I can”

Monty played his season. One of his best seasons yet. And the team through him a huge party. He got a bunch of fan mail begging him not to retire. But his mind was pretty made up. He even made a public announcement.

“I have chosen to retire from baseball because my children, aged 14 and 13, have gone all their life seeing me only part time. Or watching me on TV. I need to be a constant in their lives. I need to make as many memories as I can with them. And my wife, she needs me. She's been my number one supporter since forever! Now it's my turn to support her. She needs her partner in crime back. She can't parent by herself anymore. I need to be there for my family. And yes baseball will always hold a special place in my heart. I mean both my sons play baseball and they have since they could walk. So I won't be away from it. But I need.to be with my family. Thank you everyone for all your support throughout the years.”

****end flashback****

****flashback****

“Jefferey, Jeremy, you're going to be late” Monty yelled from the bottom of the stairs.

“coming” Jefferey yelled

“calm down it's only prom” Jeremy yelled

Both boys walked down the stairs together. Jeff had chosen a black suit and a blue tie. Jeremy had chosen a black suit and a red tie. After all these years they always refused to be identical, they would always wear something in their favorite colour so people could.tell them apart.

Standing in from of you, you look at your two boys who were a mix of your brother and husband. You were so proud of the men they were becoming. They had both been accepted into Harvard for criminal justice.

There girlfriends arrived with their parents.

The couples posed alone and together, before taking off in the limo you and monty had rented for.them.

“oh dad! You're so emotional!!” she laughed

Hannahs girlfriends had all arrived. None of them wanted to go with boys. They wanted to go as best friends. The girls posed for the cameras for at least an hour before heading out for the night.

Prometheus XIV

Piper’s plan was well received by the others who were eager to settle down and spend time together.

James and Fox has come back from their trip and it was settled. Fox wouldn’t be returning home anytime soon. She was joining the agent force for one particular reason. No other kid-as long as she could help it- was going to be left uncared for in an abusive household.

Her parents hadn’t approved of the job offer. They detested it. They mocked it. They hated it. They disowned her. And Fox was okay with all of it. She no longer had an obligation to them. For someone who enjoyed freedom she’d been chained all of her life without knowing it, and the shackles were finally off.

Meanwhile, Penny spent all of her time in the infirmary reading away to the best of her ability. Chloe’s journal was exceptional. There wasn’t a page that didn’t have a part of her on it. Penny was finally getting an understanding of Arthur’s sister and things began to make sense. There were reasons behind her actions, habits, and comforts.

Her heart broke a little bit for the other girl, and she wanted to be friends with Chloe now more than ever before. Upon her release from the infirmary, Penny tracked down the eldest twin. Chloe was dancing away to broadway music while hanging up her clothes. In another life Penny bet she’d have been an exceptional ballroom dancer. From the looks of it she’d dabbled a little in ballet.

“Hey, Chloe?” Penny knocked on the door frame drawing the other girl’s attention. “Uhm, here. I finished. Sorry it took so long.”

“Don’t worry about it,” Chloe stammered quickly, “thanks.”

Penny passed the journal over and before Chloe could move away Penny hugged her tightly. She didn’t say anything because there wasn’t anything to say. Then, as quickly as she’d come-she left. Heading back into the living room where the smell of cooking food wafted from the kitchen.

Bianca and Alex sat playing chess as they had been the entire day. They’d recently learned to play and there was no stopping them from testing out their skills. Bianca proved to be adept at the game. Her brain picked out patterns, planned moves in advance, and even predicted her opponent’s moves with ease. Alex simply enjoyed the company and lost with grace.

“It says it’s gonna rain!” Enzo cheered, having been watching the news with Scout. “Can we jump in the puddles after dinner?”

“Maybe,” Steve replied, “but that depends on how dirty you plan on getting.”

“It’ll be fine,” Nathaniel assured him.

“Says the kid who climbed into a pig pen on his field trip in third grade,” Clint snorted.

“You’re supposed to help me dad,” Nathaniel acted wounded, “whose side are you on?”

“Stop trying to steal food!” Wanda laughed, tackling Thalia in a hug and forcing her from the kitchen, “no taste testing.”

“What if it’s poisoned? What about disease?”

“No disease and no poison.” Wanda snickered. “Siyanda, watch her.”

Siyanda only rolled her eyes but Thalia good naturedly left the kitchen alone. In truth Orion couldn’t blame her-everything smelled amazing. His stomach wouldn’t shut up. Every time it growled Scout would slap him in the gut.

“What is the purpose of this?” Orion asked after the tenth time.

“It’s amusing,” Scout smiled thinly.

“Ha ha.” Orion replied sarcastically. “Perhaps you should care about the fact that your boyfriend is starving!”

“You’re not going to die!” Scout rolled his eyes running a hand through Orion’s green hair. “You’re not allowed to. It’s against my rules.”

“Scout help set the table!” Wanda called from the open kitchen door.

“Gotta blast,” Scout sighed, getting up and rushing off to help his mother. Orion followed closely behind eager to help. The two boys ended up racing to see who could finish their chore first.

“I win!” Scout bragged, taking his seat with exaggerated posture.

“I’m just happy to eat,” Orion remarked, but despite being a sore loser he pressed a kiss to Scout’s cheek.

“PDA at the table? Not on my watch,” Piper scoffed, but her eyes glinted with humor.

Slowly everyone piled into the dining area and took up their seats. The table was laden to the breaking point with food and silverware. Others arrived slowly to fill in the open seats like Penny’s parents, Stephen, the entire Space family (as Orion called it), and even the Asgardians -both the ones Thalia had found-along with her family.

The noise was loud but it was pleasant. Everyone smiled and laughed and seemed to be relaxed. Nathaniel launched grapes at Piper who was surprisingly good at catching them in her mouth while Enzo provided commentary.

“And she catches another! It’s a seven to ten ratio folks!” Enzo spoke into the spoon he was supposed to use for mashed potatoes.

“Peter, I hate dabbing,” MJ sighed, watching her fiancé from the corner of her eye.

“But it’s fun,” Orion smirked copying Peter’s gesture.

Scout’s eyes narrowed in distaste, “absolutely not.”

“What’s wrong with this?” Penny asked, doing as the boys had. Chloe, Scout, and MJ all groaned in mild irritation. They despised pointless fads.

“Rock- paper-scissors-shoot!” James and Alex fought over who got the last brownie. Unfortunately James was the victor.

“Bummer,” Arthur laughed, nudging Alex good naturedly with his elbow.

James grinned like a Cheshire Cat and popped the whole thing into his mouth at once.

“I hope you choke,” Fox mumbled and the remark nearly made James choke —from laughing.

“Thalia slow down you’ll die!” Bianca warned.

“I won’t die,” Thalia frowned but she looked to Siyanda for reassurance anyways, “right?”

“You’re fine, babe.” Siyanda laughed. “Just enjoy the taste of the food too. No need to be a garbage disposal-there’s enough for everyone.”

“You sound like a mom,” Piper teased.

“Well I do have to baby sit my father sometimes.” Siyanda smirked.

“OHHHH!” Nathaniel nearly fell off of his chair, “the shade! Holy shit.”

The table erupted into laughter but it died as quickly as it came due to a new appearance. The first to react was Enzo.

The boy bolted from his seat in a heartbeat and raced towards the dark suited man, “Father!”

Loki barely had time to react before his son latched onto him like a monkey, “Hello Enzo.”

“I’ve missed you. Where have you been? There’s so much to tell you!” Enzo stammered, his brain going too fast for him to effectively express his thoughts. He looked on the verge of laughing, crying, and smiling all at the same time.

“I have lots to say too,” Loki smiled thinly, running a gentle hand through Enzo’s hair.

“Come on. There’s plenty of room!” Enzo grabbed Loki’s hand and dragged the god towards the table. Every seat was full.

“Ah, I see it’s full.” Loki noted. “That’s alright.”

“You can have my seat.” Enzo promised.

“To be quite fair, no one was expecting your arrival.” Thor remarked calmly.

“I was invited,” Loki assured.

“By whom?”

“Your daughter.”

All eyes turned to Thalia who was now chewing rather unenthused. “It’s a family affair. I thought-well he’s...he’s family.”

“Did you ask permission?” Thor questioned, glancing to Tony.

“N-no.” Thalia spoke softly. “I’m sorry.”

“Why ask permission if family is invited?” Sif arched a brow, “it makes perfect sense to me. Not to mention he did fight to save Asgard from your deranged sister.”

“Those are events of the past,” Thor sighed.

“If I’m not welcome I will leave.” Loki glowered. “But I came with the intentions of seeing my children.”

“Which you’ve done.” Thor pointed out.

“I have more than a son you imbecile.” Loki glared.

“She doesn’t wish to see you,” Thor stated, “from what I’ve gathered.”

Silence settled in the room except for a loud pop and the tinkling of glass. Everyone’s eyes turned from Thalia to Sage who sat crammed in the corner and who hadn’t spoken a word since the meal began. She held fragments of her empty-and now shattered-glass. Blood slid in rivulets between her fingers as her eyes attempted to burn holes into the table.

The shattered glass acted as a symbol of retreat. The others quickly fled the scene knowing very well when family matters were meant to be private.

“Let her speak for herself, brother.” Loki glanced at Sage but she didn’t meet his gaze.

“I don’t want to talk. I have nothing to say.”

“Obviously that’s untrue,” Loki replied.

“Why do you care?”

“I’m your father,” Loki frowned, “why wouldn’t I care?”

“You stopped caring a long time ago.” Sage huffed. “The moment you left me in that fucking cell to rot!”

“It was for your own good I told you that.”

“If you really knew me at all you’d have known that a rejection wasn’t what I needed. I needed an actual father. Not some guy pretending to be one.” Enzo glanced between his sister and father unsure of how to respond. He could feel the tension in the air, and it scared him.

“Sage, I have always cared. I tried to protect you and I couldn’t. That kills me every day.” Loki’s voice cracked ever so slightly. “I’d rather have died than had your mother perish and leave you alone.”

“You lie.” Thor snorted. “You’re a self preservationist.”

“And you’re not?” Loki scoffed, “let us not forget that you killed an innocent woman and attacked a child for fear of your reign!”

“It was nothing of the sort.”

“Then what was it?” Thalia asked. She held eye contact with her father and didn’t dare break it. “How can you excuse murder? How are you different than your brother? One person is still murder. Just as six hundred is.”

“I was trying to protect the people.” Thor sighed, “I was afraid that you-Sage- would be used as a tool. That you would become a weapon for Loki’s personal schemes. When I learned that you had already been born and trained -albeit slightly- I grew angry. I grew frustrated and afraid. Your father mentioned nothing about you until years had passed. I only had suspicion to go off of. A child shouldn’t be a secret needing to be kept hidden.”

“That excuses nothing.” Sage snarled.

“Perhaps, but it’s my perspective.” Thor shrugged. “I learned, just as he learned.”

“Because you didn’t kill Enzo? Because Loki figured out how to actually raise a child? I’m glad I was everyone’s fucking test run.” Sage swallowed the lump forming in her throat. She couldn’t even look at Enzo.

“None of us are perfect,” Loki sighed, “and you can’t condemn me brother when you’ve done equal harm to your own daughter.”

“Such as?” Thor arched a brow. “I provided for her and I raised her.”

“But I didn’t know my mom,” Thalia’s eyebrows drew together and her moth pressed into a thin line, “why would you do that to me?”

“I was afraid that my brother would retaliate for what I’d done.” Thor explained.

“Did you ever think how I’d feel about it? What about my mom?” Thalia gestured to Sif who remained quiet. She simply watched with the gaze of a general who was studying a battle at hand.

“No. I was brash.” Thor admitted. “And wrong.”

“Why would I ever inflict the pain on you that you inflicted on me?” Loki frowned. “What satisfaction would I get out of ruining an innocent child’s life and a friend’s?”

“Perhaps I didn’t give you enough credit. You’ve changed more than I assumed,” Thor admitted. “As for you Sif...I am deeply sorry.”

“If you expect any form of forgiveness you would be sorely mistaken. Time is not something to be made up. You don’t even begin to comprehend the amount of loss you put me through.” Sif remained poised but her eyes were alight with rage.

“I don’t expect anything,” Thor admitted, folding his hands on the table, “your right to be angry isn’t something I’ll smother.”

“This is pointless,” Sage shook her head. “What does accepting responsibility do? It changes nothing for anyone!”

“Acknowledging your wrong doings doesn’t make them right, but it shows recognition from the person at fault.” Loki tilted his head, studying the scene. “For once my brother’s taken responsibility.”

“Now that everything’s on the table, is there anyway to fix it?” Thalia asked hopefully, taking a moment to study everyone. “Please? There’s too much pain in our history. If we can’t right ourselves how can we ever restore our kingdom? Our people...they need us. Even those who’ve done wrong have shaped us.”

“Some of us find it hard to love something we’ve never been a part of.” Sage glanced at her cousin and the two seemed to come to a mutual understanding. Sage stood to leave and only paused to give Thalia a small squeeze on the shoulder. She said nothing more as she headed down the hall cradling her injured hand.

Try Again

Genre: Fluff, Angst Pairing: Jaehyun x Reader Word Count: 8,035 a/n: parts of these were inspired by goodbye summer written by dest-writes. i also used the concept of “trying again”, just like what jaehyun’s station song meant :)

"Excuse me, is this seat taken?" The dimpled boy next to you asked shyly.

"No. You can seat there." You replied.

"Thanks!"

That short conversation was the first you had with Jaehyun, second week of your freshman in high school. For some reason, Jaehyun loved sitting next to you during all of your subjects. He repeatedly said he was fond of you, but you didn't dare ask what exactly about you was he so fond of. Perhaps because you were practically a girl scout who had complete sets of supplies a student could ever need, or maybe because you let him copy your homeworks most of the time. Whatever the reason was, you didn't complain about it because you liked Jaehyun. Maybe even more than you should.

That short conversation sparked a friendship that would last. Your high school life was filled by the different adventures that you, Jaehyun, and all your other friends went to in your simple little town by the sea. Life was quiet and simple but genuinely fun. Bicycle trips to the nearest arcade, fast food chains, and ice cream parlors. Sometimes your other friends had their own plans but Jaehyun never left you alone, he always wanted to be with you and you really appreciated it. Grocery trips with each other, playing video games at his house, movie marathon and baking sessions at yours.

One time you were at the seashore with him, picking some shells you would use to make accessories.

"Y/N, it's been four years since we met, right? It was freshman year and now we're seniors who will be graduating soon."

"Yes. Time really flies, huh? I can't believe it!"

"Same. After graduation, I'll be moving to the city to pursue college."

Jaehyun has been vocal about his dream to move to the capital for university. He's been saying it throughout your high school years but you paid no attention because that day was still far away. But now you realized it wasn't so far anymore. Just a couple of months more and Jaehyun would leave.

"How about you? What's your plan?"

"I'll stay here. I love the quiet and simple life. Less pollution here as well, cleaner air, more trees. And our local community college is good enough for me and my parents. I think it'll provide adequate education for my goal to become a teacher." You said as you slowly walked on the sand.

"I'll miss you." He said out of the blue. You stopped in your tracks and looked at him with wide eyes.

"What? I said I'll miss you. Are you not going to miss me?" Jaehyun laughed, amused at your reaction.

"Of course I will. We've been together everyday for the past four years. It's not easy for anyone to suddenly lose someone so close to them."

"Y/N, you're talking like I'm gonna die! I'm just moving to another place."

"To a faraway place, Jae."

"Okay. But the fastest trip from here to there is just one and a half hour, as long as you take the express train."

"Expensive." You said with a pout.

"Alright, then I'll be the one to visit you here. Maybe once a month, at least?"

"Really?" You couldn't hide the smile on your face as you were really touched by what Jaehyun said.

"Yep! We can't lose this friendship, you know? We need to keep in touch and see each other regularly. And if I'm the one who can adjust then I will." He said as he flashed a warm smile at you.

In that afternoon, the two of you promised to keep the friendship alive despite the distance.

The two of you perfectly kept that promise. He visited once or twice a month and you kept texting, calling, video-calling, and sending pictures of what you were up to. Jaehyun sent you photos of him playing basketball with his new friends and you sent him pictures of your latest recipes.

However, that only lasted for around four months since Jaehyun left. You noticed that the communication efforts from his side became less and less frequent until he completely stopped. You thought he might just be busy so you sent less texts as well, afraid of disturbing him. But what bothered you was that you still kept seeing his online posts. He always uploaded pictures and videos of him with his friends in the club, partying and drinking. You were frustrated and hurt as you realized that he was no longer the Jaehyun you knew, the cute dimpled boy who always made you laugh, the boy who knew exactly what to do whenever you were feeling down, the boy you loved. This was a fear you buried at the back of your mind the moment you found out that Jaehyun would move to the city. You trusted Jaehyun to keep the promise. But in the end, the toxic people he surrounded himself with prevailed. You already told yourself that being his friend was enough, you didn't dare ask for anything more than that. But now even that status in his life was gone.

A few weeks passed and you decided to move on. If Jaehyun didn't want you as a friend anymore, then you didn't want him back either. You poured all your time and energy to your studies and to your part-time job as a student teacher at one of the pre-schools of your town.

One weekend afternoon as you were baking alone at home, your doorbell rang. You were a little dumbfounded as you or your parents weren't expecting anyone to come. You opened the door to see Sicheng, a friend from high school who was also studying at the same university as Jaehyun.

"Oh my god, Sicheng!"

"Hi, Y/N! Long time no see!" He said as the two of you hugged.

"I know right! I'm baking some brownies right now so your timing was right " You replied as you lead him inside.

"I missed your desserts!"

"You can have them now after I finish and then take home some. How have you been?"

"Pretty great! Not to brag but I'm one of the top students of traditional dance. You?"

"I'm fine. I'm a part-time student teacher."

"And you still love baking."

"Yep." You suddenly remembered Jaehyun and you debated with yourself whether you should ask Sicheng about him or not.

"How.. how is Jaehyun? Do you still see him?"

"Jaehyun? Hmm.. yeah. I used to. Now we just rarely meet. Why? How about you? You still talk?"

"Not anymore."

"Really?! But you guys were so close!"

"Tell me about it." You said with a bitter smile that you hid from Sicheng.

"Do you miss him?"

You almost dropped the huge bowl you were holding upon hearing Sicheng's question.

"Well, I guess? I mean, you said it yourself. We were so close." You admitted.

"Aww, Y/N. I can relay any message to him if you want?"

"Oh, no need. I.. I don't have anything to say to him. I just hope he's doing great."

It was a Friday evening and you just landed on your bed after a long day of studying and working when you suddenly got a text. You reached for your phone lazily but your eyes almost popped out when you saw who the sender was.

"Hey, Y/N. Sorry, long time no talk. Been busy. Are you free tomorrow at 6PM? I'm not coming home this weekend so I wanna know if we can have dinner at a cafe near my dorm? Hoping to see you."

It was from Jaehyun. The person you least expected to get a text from. You read the text around twenty times, your heartbeat riling up each time. The text was not as cheerful or sweet as his previous ones from months ago. But you didn't want to complain. Jaehyun wanted to see you again and you didn't say no.

"Hi Jaehyun! Yeah, long time no talk. Sure, I'll see you tomorrow 😃 "

Jaehyun didn't reply anymore but you just shrugged it off and rummaged through your closet to find the cutest dress you had. After three months, you were gonna see your best friend again. You might have drifted apart and he might no longer consider you as his best friend, but you were beyond happy that he was trying to reach out again. You decided to put behind all the bitterness and hard feelings you've felt for Jaehyun recently and try to start again.

It was late afternoon the next day and you just got on the express train. If you could jump for excitement, you already did. But you didn't want strangers looking at you so you controlled yourself.

Fifteen minutes into the ride, you got a text again from Jaehyun.

"Hi Y/N, Sicheng would be picking you up at the station. You have his number, right? Just text him once you're there. See you."

"Oh.. I thought it would just be the two of us." You thought to yourself with a hint of disappointment. But again, you opted not to complain as you didn't want to ruin your reunion.

"Hello! Alright. Will text him once I arrive at the station. See you! 😃 "

After an hour and a half, you texted Sicheng and in less than a minute, you felt a light pat at your back.

"Y/N! You're here!"

"Sicheng! Nice to see you again! I'm so excited! Is the place far from here?" You asked as the two of you went down the stairs from the platform of the station to the streets below.

"Nope, just a ten-minute walk."

"Not to sound dramatic but I'm honestly surprised that Jaehyun still remembers me." You said with a laugh.

"Of course he still does! Also, I told him that you miss him."

"What?" You asked, suddenly stopping at your tracks. "Didn't I tell you not to tell him anything?"

"Yeah, Y/N. I'm sorry, but you looked so sad last week when we were talking about him. So I thought telling Jaehyun might help. Sorry, are you mad?"

"So is this dinner your idea or his?"

"I.. I suggested to him that you guys should meet soon. But the exact details like venue, date, and time, those were all up to him."

"Okay.." You said before you slowly took some steps again.

"Sorry, Y/N. You don't mind, right?"

"Well, honestly I thought the two of us meeting again was purely his initiative. But looks like if you hadn't told him about me, he wouldn't even remember me, let alone want to meet me again. But don't worry, I'm fine." You assured Sicheng with a smile. You were thankful for this friend, and you wished that Jaehyun was still as sweet as him. Sicheng didn't change at all.

"We're here!" Sicheng exclaimed when you stopped at a rustic style coffee shop.

"Wow, it's so beautiful!"

"Right! Me and other university students love to hang out here. Let's go!"

"Wait!" You said, pulling his right arm.

"Why?"

"J-Jaehyun is inside? Like, right now?!" You whispered.

"Uh, yes? Why?"

"I don't know. I suddenly got nervous." You said embarrassingly.

"Aww, Y/N. Don't be! Everything will be fine. Come on." Sicheng said as he went on to push the door. You instantly followed.

The coffee shop was bigger than you thought and you had a hard time finding Jaehyun.

"There he is!" Sicheng pointed at Jaehyun who was at the opposite end.

The two of you quickly approached him until you both stopped. Yes, Jaehyun was there. But he was with a girl.

"What the hell? I told him not to bring one of his.. ugh!" Sicheng groaned.

"You didn't tell me he has a girlfriend." You said, still staring at Jaehyun and the girl.

"That's.. that's not exactly his girlfriend, Y/N."

"What do you mean? She has her arm looped around his and they look very sweet, Sicheng. I may still be living in our little town but I'm not dumb."

"No, Y/N. Sorry, that's not what I mean. That girl is just one of his flings. They're not in a serious relationship. I.. I didn't exactly know how to tell you about this but.. Jaehyun loves to sleep around."

"Sleep around?"

"Yep. Like, he sleeps with different girls whenever he wants." Sicheng said before he pursed his lips, afraid of your reaction.

"Is that what people usually call.. fuckboy? Is that the right term?"

"Yes. That's right. He's the university's #1 fuckboy."

You couldn't believe what you were hearing and you were no longer sure if you still wanted to push through with this dinner. At first, you didn't expect Sicheng to go with you and Jaehyun. And now, he even brought one of his girls.

"Sorry Sicheng but I don't think I still want to meet him. I'm going home." You said as you tried to reach for the door.

"Wait, Y/N! You can't just leave! What will I tell him?" Sicheng said as he quickly blocked you.

"I don't know. Just tell him I suddenly got sick-"

"I can't. He already saw us. He's waving at us right now." Sicheng said as he waved back to Jaehyun who was behind you.

You slowly turned your head to look at him, flashing a fake smile and waving back. After a few seconds, you found yourself sitting across the girl Jaehyun brought. You greeted her with a smile but she just looked at you with a blank expression.

"Hi, Y/N. Long time no see! Sorry, been busy that's why I couldn't visit or text you back."

"Been busy sleeping around?" You thought to yourself.

"No, it's fine. I understand." You told Jaehyun before focusing on the menu you were holding. Honestly, you couldn't bear to look at Jaehyun, not after finding out his latest hobby.

"Y/N? You ready to order?" Sicheng finally asked you after five minutes of you hiding your face in the menu folder.

"What? Oh, yes! I'm ready. Sorry it took too long." You said.

"So what are you up to now?" Jaehyun asked you before taking a sip of water.

"M-me? I'm.. still studying the same course, Education. I just started my internship two months ago. I'm a student-teacher. You?"

"Still in the basketball team. I-"

"He is so hot when he plays." The girl emphasized to you. "Have you seen him play?"

"Uhm.. no. It's my first time to go here, actually." You said with an embarrassed laugh. You saw Jaehyun squirming in his seat, somehow being uncomfortable.

"Oh, is that so?" The girl asked you with a blank face.

"Y-yeah."

That dinner was the most awkward experience you ever had. It was painfully horrible. There were a lot of dead moments where no one wanted to talk. Jaehyun invited you but it didn't seem like he was thrilled to meet you again. He just looked uncomfortable the whole time. The girl on the other hand was all over Jaehyun. Sliding her hand on his chest, poking his dimples, whispering on his ear. She only paid attention to Jaehyun, ignoring you and even Sicheng. You could tell Sicheng wanted to leave already. The only good thing from this dinner was that Jaehyun made sure to smile at you from time to time. It made you feel a little better. You missed that smile and those dimples very much. Those dimples that cutely dent his cheeks always made your heart flutter.

"My trip back home takes around two hours. I'm sorry, I need to leave now." You said as you stood up and slung your bag on your shoulder. Sicheng and Jaehyun stood up as well but the girl pulled Jaehyun back down to his chair.

"I'll go with her to the station." Sicheng said.

"O-okay. Bye, Y/N. Take care." Jaehyun told you with concern apparent in his eyes.

"I will. Bye."

"God that was so terrible! You're right! I should've gone with you when you tried to leave earlier!" Sicheng yelled once you were on the streets.

You wanted to laugh and tell him "I told you so.", but you didn't, you couldn't. Your heart felt very heavy the entire night and you wanted to let something out just to make you feel better in any way. Something that you've been carrying in your heart and kept secret from everyone.

"You know what, Sicheng? I love him."

"What?"

"I love him and I hate myself for that. He already changed and he's no longer the Jaehyun I know. He forgot about me and we're no longer best friends. We drifted apart but... I still love him? Why am I like this? I want to forget him and even hate him but I can't. I really can't..." You said as you stood beside the lamp post, crying.

"Y/N..." Sicheng said as he approached you. You looked at him and you noticed that his eyes were fixated at something or someone else. You followed his gaze and turned your head to see Jaehyun standing behind you. His face in shock. You were not sure how long has he been standing there but you were certain that he heard everything you just said. Everything.

"I really need to go. I can't stay any second longer. Bye, Sicheng." You muttered as you brisk-walked to the station.

"Wait, Y/N!" You heard Jaehyun yell.

"Dude, don't confront her right now. Not now. She's obviously embarrassed and not ready." Sicheng exerted all his strength to stop Jaehyun from following you. "Why are you here anyway? Where's your girl?"

"I don't know and I don't care. I just left her there. I wanted to apologize to Y/N for the horrible night. I just wasted her time." Jaehyun said anxiously, covering his face with both hands.

"Well, her time wouldn't have been wasted if you didn't bring that girl along-"

"I didn't! Why would I? I was gonna meet with Y/N, there's no way I'd bring another girl. She just suddenly showed up there when I arrived! As usual, she's like a flea who latched onto me and didn't leave no matter what I said."

"You went the fuckboy route and now you're complaining about a girl like that? Sorry Jaehyun, I want to sympathize but you brought this upon yourself. And now, you just hurt Y/N."

"I know. Should I go home tonight and visit her tomorrow? That's right. I'll do that."

"But you have a team building with your basketball team tomorrow, remember?"

"Shit!"

"Don't worry, Jaehyun. Y/N will just be at home. Even if you visit her next weekend there won't be a problem. You'll visit her and you'll find her baking, reading, or just watching the TV. She's a simple person and she will always be at our little hometown. Remember during high school? We always teased her for loving our simple town so much." Sicheng said in an attempt to console Jaehyun.

"You're right. She loves our hometown. She's still the same, unlike me. I.. changed."

"That's why you couldn't face her, am I right?" Sicheng asked, wrapping his arm around Jaehyun's shoulder as he walked the latter in the direction of their dorm.

"Yes. That's why I couldn't face her. If you didn't tell me that she misses me I wouldn't have the guts to ask her to come here and meet with me."

"I know. You needed a push."

Throughout the following week, you got several texts from Jaehyun. Whether you were eating breakfast, studying at school, working, or at night before sleeping, you constantly received his messages of asking how you were, apologizing, and wanting to meet you again. He even called you a few times as well. However, you didn't reply to or pick up any of these. You were extremely embarrassed and didn't have any idea what to say to him, you didn't know what he was going to tell you either. You just wanted to forget everything about that night, including Jaehyun. He had no problem cutting you off these past months and now all of a sudden, he was repeatedly texting and calling you again? You told yourself that you were done and that you were ready to move on.

It was Saturday, exactly one week from that horribly awkward dinner and from Jaehyun accidentally hearing your confession, when you heard a knock on your open door. You turned your head to see who it was and your breath hitched in a second. There he was, the person you've been ignoring the past week.

"Uhm, hi.. Y/N." Jaehyun shyly waved at you as he slowly entered your home.

"What are you doing here?" You asked bluntly.

"I'm.. I want to talk to you. But you haven't replied to any of my texts or picked up a single call-"

"Doesn't that mean that I don't want to talk to you? Why show up here?"

"Because I want to talk to you." Jaehyun repeated clearly.

"There's nothing to talk about, Jaehyun. After last week's dinner, it's pretty clear that we've grown apart. Don't worry, that's part of life."

"I can't just let this go without putting up a fight."

"A fight? I've been ignoring you the past week yes but you did the same to me for months."

"I'm sorry about that, Y/N. I really am. It's just that.. many things happened back there. It was messy, to say the least."

"And you didn't tell me about it. We used to confide in each other, remember? But you stopped."

"The things that happened are not easy for me to say to you."

"So you just pushed me away 'cuz you don't have the guts to be honest to me? Don't worry, Sicheng already told me what happened."

"But I still want you to hear it directly from me. Like I told you before, I got into the basketball varsity team and honestly, everything just started from there. The fame got into my head, and then the parties followed, the.. girls. I couldn't talk to you because I was ashamed of myself. I lost myself so quickly and I wasn't sure how you would react, if you would still accept me."

"If you were losing yourself, you should've just answered one of my texts and I could've helped you right away. It's as simple as that, Jaehyun."

"No, Y/N. Things over there are not as simple as they are here. There, you have classmates and friends who act like they're always there for you but all they do is manipulate and pressure you into doing what they want. I admit, it was really fun at first. I had a good time drinking the night away and not caring about the consequences after. I.. kept sleeping around.. with different girls. I knew it was wrong, all of it. But for some reason I couldn't stop? It was like a downward spiral and I didn't want you to see me stuck in it. Then a couple of weeks ago, Sicheng told me that you miss me. That actually served like a light to me. It was like a wake-up call and I knew at that moment I had to go back to who I was so we could go back to how we were."

Your tears started to fall as you listened to Jaehyun. You had no idea what he was going through and that he was actually having a hard time.

"And what about that rude girl you brought to dinner? I was surprised-"

"I didn't tag her along, I swear. Believe me. She just suddenly showed up there, mostly likely she was following me."

You didn't say anything so Jaehyun tried to approach you but you backed away. "Y/N.."

"I'm sorry to hear about that. But we can't just go back to how we were so easily. What if you cut me off again?"

"I understand if you're having trust issues with me now. But I'll show you that I'm trying. We can start texting each other regularly again and I'll visit here every weekend. No more parties and sleeping around too. I promise!" Jaehyun said excitedly.

"Don't make promises that you can't keep."

"But I will. I'll keep it. You just have to believe in me."

"And you just have to start trying."

Jaehyun was being slow in processing what you just said and just stood there confused.

"I'm giving you a chance to try again, is what I mean."

"Thank you so much, Y/N" Jaehyun said as he hugged you tightly. You didn't expect the physical contact at all.

"Geez, Jaehyun. Chill." You told the boy as you gently pushed him away.

You looked at him and saw how happy he was, smiling from ear to ear with his face and ears totally red. If you were not being hard-to-get, you would've pulled him back in for a longer and tighter hug. The two of you held eye contact for quite a long time, with the same thought running in your minds: your accidental confession of love last week. However, you both knew that not bringing it up was the better thing to do. Jaehyun was afraid of embarrassing you even more and you simply didn't want to talk about it.

"I think you should go now. Maybe your parents are already looking for you." You said after clearing your throat, walking away from him as you realized how close the distance between the two of you was.

"Y-yeah. Right. I'll see you again next week. And please, don't ignore my texts and calls anymore, okay?" He said, looking at you with puppy eyes that you missed so much.

"Yes, Jeong Jaehyun. Don't worry." You said with a smile while playfully rolling your eyes.

"Bye, Y/N! And, thank you."

"You're welcome, Jaehyun."

And with that, he left.

The next weekend arrived and so did Jaehyun.

"Good morning, Y/N! I hope you haven't had breakfast yet because I brought your favorites!" He said as soon as he entered your home that Saturday morning, with containers that had hotdogs, eggs, waffles, and hash browns in them.

"Morning, Jaehyun. Wow. Thanks but no need to do this." You said as he took out the containers.

"Don't worry. It's fine! I cooked them for you." He said, looking at you as if asking for approval. "My parents said yours went to vacation so I decided to bring you food."

"Yes, they're coming back tomorrow night. How about you? Have you eaten?" You asked as you sat down, ready to start eating.

"Nope. I was hoping to eat these with you."

Knowing that Jaehyun woke up extra early just to cook your favorite breakfast and bring them to you really fluttered your heart.

"I quit the basketball team." He said out of the blue.

"What?! But why? You love playing."

"Yeah. But that's one of the reasons why I couldn't go home every weekend. Also, I had to cut off those toxic people anyway. They're.. the reason why I changed." His voice was weaker as he stated the last sentence.

"I'm glad you're taking steps." You said after a moment of silence.

"Thanks. By the way, are you free later? My mom and I will go to the grocery. I'm wondering if you wanna tag along?"

"Hmm, no. We just restocked a few days ago. No need to buy new stuff." You said with a smile.

"Oh, is that so? Alright." Jaehyun replied, disappointment apparent on his face. "I need to go now before mom looks for me." He continued.

"Bye, take care and thanks for the food. I really appreciate the gesture." You said as you stood by the door with Jaehyun on one of the steps, looking up at you.

"No problem, Y/N. Just tell me if you want me to cook for you, I'll drop by quickly. You know, just like the old days." He chuckled.

"Yeah, I remember. Sure, Chef Jeong. I'll give you a call when I'm too lazy to make my own food. Now, go!" You said with a laugh.

"Bye! See you!" Jaehyun said as he started pedaling his bike.

You waved at him as you watched the wind blow against him, gently messing up his hair. You missed this view, this feeling.

Another Saturday, another day with Jaehyun. Well, he attempted it to be that way.

Jaehyun texted you that morning, asking if you wanted to go to the ice cream parlor you always visited back in high school. Of course you wanted to. But then, you realized that spending more time with him would just make you fall even deeper. You were not sure if you wanted that to happen so you decided to decline his invitation.

"Hi. Sorry, I'm not available today." You replied to his text. After a few seconds, your phone rang with his name flashing on your screen. You panicked a little, wondering why he felt the need to call.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Y/N. You're busy today?"

"Y-yup. Sorry, I can't go. I have several homeworks I need to get done." You lied.

"Don't be sorry, it's fine! Do you need help? I can go there."

"Uhm, no thanks. I don't need help."

"Oh, okay. That's.. great. I guess I'll see you next weekend then?" Jaehyun finally said after five seconds of silence.

"Yes."

"Okay. Bye!"

"Bye." You said before hanging up.

You couldn't stop thinking about the five seconds of silence from Jaehyun. You were worried that you might have hurt him, if it was obvious that you were pushing him away that day.

"Ugh, worrying about it will just waste my time." You told yourself.

Jaehyun invited Sicheng over to his house after he called you.

"Well, I guess you're being clingy? Just a bit? I'm not sure, though." Sicheng told Jaehyun after the latter shared how his conversation with you on the phone went.

"I just want us to go back to the way we used to." Jaehyun said with a sigh.

"I know that. Y/N knows that. The three of us know that. But maybe, just give her some space?"

Jaehyun pondered on Sicheng's suggestion and decided to text you that night.

"Hi, Y/N. Are you done with your homeworks? I hope you are 😃 By the way, I'm really sorry if I'm being too clingy. I understand if you're getting annoyed already. Don't worry, I'll give you some space. Just text me when you want to see me. Good night!"

You were surprised by the message, but more than that, it made you cry. You cried because how could anyone, how could Jaehyun, be that sweet and understanding? At that moment, you were pretty sure that he was the most precious person in the world, your world.

"Hi, Jaehyun! Don't worry about it, I'm not annoyed or anything. I don't find you "too clingy". I'll meet you next Saturday, okay? Good night!" You replied.

"Thank god you're not annoyed! I can now finally sigh in relief. Good night, Y/N~ See you on Saturday 😃"

"Are you not gonna confess to Y/N yet? What's taking you so long?"

Jaehyun choked on his soda upon hearing Sicheng's question while they were on the way to their respective classes.

"What's with that reaction? It's been months since you started visiting and talking to her again. I must say, you've been really sweet to her. All that's left is the confession. So when is it?"

"I don't know. What the hell dude, you're making me anxious." Jaehyun hissed at Sicheng.

"Well, it can't take you forever and not confessing at all is not an option, so I'm asking you when. How about this coming weekend? Please do it this weekend! You can't delay it anymore!"

"I.. I don't know, Sicheng. I don't think I'm ready."

"Jaehyun, you've been very sweet and caring to Y/N all these months. Cooking for her, helping her with the materials for her internship, grocery trips. And you're here telling me that you're not ready? Come on!"

"You don't understand. For some reason, it's easier for me to take action and show her that I love her than to actually tell her that I love her? I don't know. I'm weird like that."

"But girls love it when you express your feelings to them clearly, through words!" Sicheng exclaimed as he stopped Jaehyun from walking, holding his friend by the shoulders. "Jaehyun, as your best friend, I'm advising you to confess to Y/N this coming Saturday, the first weekend of the coming summer. If you don't do it, I'll never talk to you again. And also, you were able to admit to Y/N all the wrongdoings you did in the past, why you changed, how you changed. All those stuff. So if you could do that then you can confess your feelings to her. Just don't make her wait longer? Please? Do this for her. She's main reason why you need to do it soon. Remember that, okay? Just think of her. I need to go now, my classroom is here. Good luck!"

"Thank you for the advice, Sicheng. Really. Thank you so much." Jaehyun told his friend before giving him a hug.

Jaehyun was left with his own thoughts and his newfound determination that Sicheng helped discover.

It was summer again. Exactly a year since the last summer before Jaehyun left for the city. Today was a busy day. Your town held a small scale music festival by the beach every year and you and Jaehyun agreed to attend and have some fun. It was one of the few events that made your town exciting, definitely an annual highlight. All your local musicians and singers went on stage to show what they got, food concessionaires everywhere, and most importantly, the sunset that reflected itself on the beach. This was the exact sunset Jaehyun was waiting for the whole day, he was planning to confess to you as the two of you watch the scenery. He knew it was cliche, but he also knew that you loved sunsets more than anything.

He picked you up in the afternoon and even before he could say anything, his mouth dropped in awe with the way you looked in your floral yellow and white sundress.

"Wow, Y/N. You look gorgeous."

"I-it's just a simple dress, Jaehyun. Nothing to be amazed about. You look good in your white shirt too. Let's go?" You said, trying to avoid the possibility of him seeing the blush on your cheeks.

"Look at this!" Jaehyun exclaimed, showing off a two-seater bicycle that he parked against your fence.

"Wow! Where did you get that?"

"I rented it just for today so.. we can ride together on the way to the beach."

"But I have my own bike."

"And I have mine, but I want us to ride together." Jaehyun said with a nervous smile.

"Alright then. Let's try it?" You smiled as you approached the bicycle.

"You okay there?" Jaehyun asked.

"Yeah, I'm good. We can go now." You replied as you gently wrapped your arms around his waist, cautious of the contact. You were shocked by how sturdy and strong his torso felt and how manly he smelled, you couldn't help but blush even more.

"Okay, let's go!" Jaehyun yelled and a few seconds later, you felt the wind breezing against the two of you. Not very far from your house, you eventually saw the people down by the beach gathering in front of the stage from the road you were on. You loved everything about that moment. The wind, the view, the faint music that would soon be loud once you get to the venue, and of course, the boy you were embracing right now. Oops. You were not embracing him, you were just clinging onto him for safety purposes. You corrected yourself as quickly as you pulled away your head when you realized that you were resting it on his back. You didn't want Jaehyun to think that you liked him so much even though he already heard your confession months ago. You took care of your pride.

Once you arrived, you got off the bike immediately.

"Did you like that?" Jaehyun asked with a bright smile similar to a kid's.

"Yes. But my hair is so messy." You said as you fixed your hair, your lips in a pout.

"But you're cute with messy hair."

You were surprised by the sudden compliment and the smile on Jaehyun's face quickly disappeared.

"I'm sor-"

"Let's buy food. I'm hungry." You said as you turned around in the direction of the food stalls, hiding your red cheeks from Jaehyun for the second time.

By the time you joined the crowd, the first performer was about to finish. A few more performers later and the place got too compressed.

"Wanna go somewhere we can actually breathe?" Jaehyun asked.

"Totally." You replied before Jaehyun pulled you to the exit.

You bought food again before heading to a less occupied spot by the beach, this time Mexican tacos, different from the burgers you bought earlier. After you both finished, Jaehyun strangely remained silent.

"You know how I feel, right? I want us to be.. more than friends." He suddenly said.

You couldn't believe what you just heard and told yourself that maybe you simply misheard what he just said, so you didn't say anything and continued to play with the hem of your dress.

"Y/N, I want us to be more than friends." Jaehyun repeated. By now, you clearly heard what he just said. You felt him looking intently at you and you couldn't stand the tension anymore so you quickly stood up and left him.

"Y/N, wait!" Jaehyun yelled as he followed you.

"Where are you going?" He asked as he blocked you from taking further steps.

"I have to do something for my internship tomorrow. I need to go." You said, trying to walk past him.

"That's obviously a lie, Y/N. Please, we need to talk about this." Jaehyun said as he firmly but gently held your wrists.

"I don't know what to say..." You said as you looked down on the ground, avoiding his gaze.

"We both know I heard your confession from months ago. I don't mean to embarrass you and I don't even know if you still feel the same way about me. But I'm here to tell you that I want to be with you.. that I want to be more than friends. Sorry Y/N, I can't just be your friend anymore. I want something more than that. Something more special."

"But I'm scared." You said, first tears falling on the sand.

"Scared of what? Don't cry, Y/N." He said as he tried to wipe your tears, but you took a step back, afraid of his touch.

"What if you'll cut me off again? What if you'll go back to the city and you stop visiting me and then eventually we'll never see and talk to each other again? What if you'll remove me entirely from your life?" You asked, finally looking him in the eye.

"Y/N, why would I do that if I love you? If I want us to be together?"

"Because you already did it in the past. If I didn't tell Sicheng that I missed you and if he didn't say that to you, would you even try again to keep in touch with me? I don't think so, Jaehyun."

"I already told you why I distanced myself from you, remember? Please, Y/N. I did everything in my capacity these past few months to restore our friendship, for you to like me. I.. I don't know what to do anymore. Please, just give me a chance. I'll put all your what-ifs to rest, believe me. Jaehyun pleaded as you continued to cry.

"I'm sorry, Jaehyun. But.. I don't really know what to say. Not now, not yet."

"That's fine. I'll give you time to think. I can wait." Jaehyun said with a hopeful smile. You nodded and smiled back at him.

After the sun has completely set, the two of you rode the bike back to your home.

"Jaehyun, would you like to join us for dinner?" Your mom asked Jaehyun.

"Hi auntie, sorry but I'm already full. Y/N and I ate a lot." Jaehyun replied with a smile.

"Oh, okay. Take care on your way home."

"I will. Good night!"

"As I said earlier, I'll wait for your answer. No pressure." Jaehyun reminded you with a smile.

"Yes, I know."

"Don't cry anymore, okay? I don't like seeing you hurt and sad."

"Yeah, sure. Take care. Bye." You replied as you waved at him with a smile.

"Good night. Sweet dreams." He said, showing you his cute dimples as he rode the bike and pedaled away, leaving you alone at your porch. You had no idea why but watching him go further and further away from you with his back facing made you want to cry. You hated yourself for failing to kill your fear of Jaehyun leaving you for good someday. Him cutting you off months ago was traumatic and it kept your doubts and trust issues alive to haunt you.

"So have you heard? What happened last weekend.. between me and Jaehyun?"

"Of course! I was the one who encouraged him to confess to you!" Sicheng replied proudly.

"Oh my god Dong Sicheng, did you really have to involve yourself in this?" You said dramatically as you buried your face in your hands.

"Of course! I'm your number one fan, didn't you know?"

"Stop saying 'of course'!"

"Geez, Y/N. Why so snappy?"

"Because I am confused! What should I do? Say yes? Reject him? I don't know what to do." You said as you slouched back into your couch.

"Just follow your heart. The three of us know you love him too."

"Shut up."

"You're asking me what you should do and now you're telling me to shut up?"

"I'm sorry. I'm just.. scared. I have doubts, Sicheng."

"It's normal to have doubts when getting into a relationship, don't worry. But you should get over those doubts and trust Jaehyun. The three of us have known each other almost our entire lives and based on what I see and know, he really loves you and he won't hurt you again."

"You think?"

"I do. Look, he wouldn't exert this much effort all these months if he didn't treasure you and your friendship. If he really doesn't feel anything for you, he wouldn't have tried again and reached out to you after that awkward as hell dinner. Common sense, Y/N."

It's already a month after Jaehyun's confession and you still haven't talked to him. Despite agreeing with Sicheng, you couldn't find the courage to face and talk to Jaehyun.

It was Saturday morning and the school you were working for as an intern was having a minor renovation for some of the classrooms. You came to help but a few steps into the place and you stopped in your tracks. Jaehyun was there helping in carrying pieces of furniture around, placing them in whatever classroom the elderly principal wanted. He was perspiring and his sweat has seeped through his thin gray shirt. He only realized you were there after the principal allowed them to take a break.

"G-good morning, Y/N." He greeted you as his face lit up.

"Morning. You're here to help?"

"Yeah, my mom told me the school needs as many people as they can get to help in the renovation. So.. I'm here." He said, giving you a boyish smile.

"Thanks. It's so hot out here, wanna get some ice cream?"

"Sure!"

You bought ice cream from the vendor a few blocks away and sat down on one of the benches overlooking the sea.

"The waves are so calm." You said.

"Yes, they are."

"Unlike my heart.." You whispered to yourself.

"Come again?"

"Nothing, nothing." You shook his head lightly and smiled at him.

A long moment of awkward silence followed. The same question hanging over your heads. What would be your answer?

"Y-"

"Hey! Break's over!" You were interrupted by one of the guys helping out in the renovation just like Jaehyun.

"Looks like we need to go back now or the principal will get mad. You know how he is." You joked.

"Yes, everyone does." Jaehyun chuckled.

The two of you returned to the school and were assigned to help out in different locations. By dusk, everything was in order and everyone were already leaving.

"Can I walk you home?" Jaehyun asked, fiddling with the straps of his backpack.

"Sure."

Both of you walked slowly, wanting to savor each passing moment.

"Yes." You said out of the blue, breaking the silence as the two of you approached your home.

"Yes?" Jaehyun repeated, stopping in his tracks to face you as he squinted his eyes in confusion.

"Yup. That's what I said." You said with a laugh.

He just continued to squint his eyes and raise his eyebrow, obviously not getting it.

You sighed and rolled your eyes before continuing, "You want my answer, right? That's it. Yes! I was supposed to tell you earlier when we were having ice cream but I got interrupted."

Jaehyun's eyes turned from squinted to wide, manifesting his disbelief.

"Hello?" You waved your hand close to his face.

"Shit, I'm sorry. I just.. what? What did you say? Can you repeat it?" Jaehyun said after snapping out of his trance.

"I'm saying yes to you, Jeong Jaehyun. How else do you want me to say it so you can understand what I'm saying?" You chuckled.

"Does.. does that mean we're.. together now? Like, we're a couple wherein you're my girlfriend and I'm your boyfriend? Is.. is that what you mean?" Jaehyun asked excitedly as he stuttered.

"Yes. That's exactly what I mean."

Jaehyun didn't say anything in reply but he quickly wrapped you in the tightest and warmest embrace. The two of you stayed like that without saying anything and you realized that no words were needed anymore. He loved you and you trusted him.

You pulled away from the hug and looked in his eyes that were glistening with tears of joy, same as yours.

"Can I?" He asked as he looked longingly at your lips, caressing your jaw with his thumb.

Your breath hitched as you wondered to yourself if you were ready for your first ever kiss with the boy you've been in love with for years. You closed your eyes in anticipation and a few seconds later, you felt Jaehyun's lips pressing gently on yours. They were soft like pillows and as warm as a cup of hot chocolate in your hands during wintertime. You slowly wrapped your forearms around his neck with one hand playing with his hair. You dreamed of this for a long, long time.

It was his turn now to pull away and stare at you. His eyes and heart absorbed the beautiful sight: the last rays of the sun shining upon your face, your eyes still closed in hopes of remembering the sensation that just ended, and a few of your loose strands danced to the gentle wind. You eventually opened your eyes and your dark brown irises added to beautiful sight, with your smile as the final touch.

"Thank you, Y/N. I.. I have no words. I'm very grateful that you decided to give me a chance."

"It's alright. You deserve it, anyway. You went through so much and made a lot of mistakes back there, but you proved to me that the Jaehyun I knew from the past is still here, right in front of me, and has been with me all these months."

He rested his forehead against yours and let out a deep sigh, "I love you, Y/N."

You kissed his nose before replying, "I love you too. Now, would you mind if we continue our walk home because I'm hungry as hell. My mom would love to cook for you."

"Yes, ma'am." He said with a laugh as he pulled away.

hello im back bitches because apparently im gonna write eveeeryyydaay here because i wanna know what this bitch mind of mine is thinking because its good to read past thoughts like wwwwhhheaattt i was thinking shit??? like either cool shit or not cool shittt. anyways i think typing thoughts out is a good catharsis. its a release. im tired of telling individual people how i exactly feel. its like im giving them too much privilege AND also sometimes they give remarks that turn the situation worse so might as well type em all down here instead they have same effect anyway. but then someday i hope i meet someone who is wise enough to know what i NEED to hear. that’s what i need.

so today me was a productive bitch.i feel healthyyy kinda. so i had a short nap. doesnt matter how long it went but i felt not sleepy anymore after that. i always feel sleepy by the dayyy so we need to change that!!!!! so eon i went to wake p again and then i cooked rice for lunch and then washed dishes. had a short workout for my posture and bloated bitch stomach, and also i drank lotsa water. additionally i ate milk and brownies for merienda snacc and i ate dinner on time. dinner wussgud it was like this uhhh grilled squid. very fantastique!!!! i thank ate conz they go beyond what her job is for. kinda bad butshe does it out of love for us and all that shit. thanks ate conz!!!! sometimes she also cleans the bathroom but liek that was just once. but it was likeee hellaaa clean. it kept the bthroom clean for weeks it was THAT clean. i never cleaned the bathroom like that it was very thorough. anyways everyone say THANKS AAATEE CONZZZZ.!!!!

Plus!!!! So yean i felt pretty too so i made my light makeup. only bb cream and uh eyeliner and uh liptint’s all i got. idk what else to add. couldnt find my eyelash curler and also im aspiring to buy a concealer but testers arent avails because of the virus so its kinda hard yenno?

Also i scouted for like goth gf fits from jupiterspace mnl and THEY HAVE A NEW COLLECTION except sum of them only are kyuewt for me. but what i really want to buy from them are their combat boots. like full glory goth gffff!! but then idk it might be a hassle if it doesnt fit because sometimes 35 fits me sometimes 36 and seldom 37. so i think its safe to stick to 36. i can use pads or shit. I think being healthy is good for the mental health too. my mantra is WORKOUT GET THE HEALTHY LIFESTLYE SO THAT YOU HAVE THE ENRGY TO ANNOY MORE PEOPLEEEE <333 THANK YOU EVERYONE MWA this is such a long entry. my succeeding entries prolly won be this long. oh yea i aint done yet. so this guy, ok, he is like my bestie alrdy BUT idk he dont treat me like one. but that mkay idc. he feels sad and shit. so he is MIA. nobody;s annoying in my dms as of now. after midterms in zoology im going back to my swipeapps. hopefully!!!

also back to my bodily insecurities i really hate my floated belly. fuck. its so annoying. i look hot but i need to fucking INHALE THE FUCKKKERRR IN!!! gahd so exhausting. plus i also have to straighten my back. my posture? SUCKS. as of now. so its day 1 of 30 days consecutive workout for my posture. ITS EITHER A MONTH FULL OF PROGRESS OR A MONTH FULL OF EXCUSES sweetyyyyy lezzzgooo!!! So ayon i hope i become healthier AND hotter!!!! bec im tired of being pretty in photos only because i need to inhale and straighten back for like seconds for the photo but irl its hard to maintain that shit.

day ten | jan 31

Hello hello, today I woke up at 8:30 AM! I briefly checked my email as I laid in bed, but I’m not quite sure why. I wasn’t really expecting anything but hey, who knows. Turns out, my girl scout cookies are on the way! I’m very excited for the excessive amount of cookies I just bought.

Speaking of orders, I forgot to mention that my makeup from ColourPop came in! Here’s a pic of the palettes.

They’re super cute and seem to work really well! I’m glad I made this purchase, even if I don’t know how often I’ll really use them. The Sailor Moon palette even has a fun cover with that cool image changing texture! I’m not sure the technical term, but it very much fits the vibe.

I also know I forgot to include a picture of the item I bought for my $2 shopping spree, so here it is!

It’s a facial cleanser that I definitely don’t need since I’ve already got a ton, but that packaging...wowow! I’ll talk about it more in my paper ;^)

Anyways, onto today’s events. As I drank my coffee, I watched a video essay on YouTube about the conspiracy theories behind the “studies” of atrazine’s effects on frogs, made famous by Alex Jones of InfoWars when he said “the waters turning the frickin frogs gay” or something along those lines. I can’t remember. It was a really interesting video! It showed up in my recommended and wow was it a treat.

After my coffee, I decided to get ready for my group meeting for Design and its Discontents. We agreed to meet at 1 PM, so I just wanted to make sure I was prepared. During our meeting, we squared away who was doing which slides and when we’re meeting again (hopefully with our slides finished)! My group also really liked the slides I made, so I was happy about that!

Since I had actually done something productive, I decided to ride that high. I did my math homework and quiz right after! To be fair, they’re due tonight at midnight but at least I did them before 10 PM. While I did that, I listened to my k-pop playlist. It was a strange choice for math homework but it kind of hyped me up.

I wanted to continue doing homework, but I decided I actually needed to eat something. I had leftover pizza from last night! I firmly believe that Domino’s is better the day after, and straight out of the fridge...no microwave. It’s pretty gross but I love it so. While eating, I watched more YouTube! I watched a video about an ARG (Alternate Reality Game) that perplexed players for over a decade...crazy stuff!

Right after my lunch, I decided to do some reading for Scandinavian Folklore while listening to my classical music playlist. In the middle of my reading, my sister reminded me we had to go get the car washed! So I did that instead. I also realized I didn’t need to have the readings done by tomorrow, so I didn’t feel pressured to actually do them tonight.

I did stop at Starbucks with my sister and got a drink, so I spent about $5 today. I got an iced caramel macchiato! It’s a staple of my Starbucks regulars and never fails me. It’s always the perfect balance of milkiness and espresso (although I WISH more Starbucks carried oat milk. why is it so hard to get oat milk at Starbucks?)

I got back to my apartment at around 6ish PM and wanted to do some art! I ended up working on another business card concept for text & image. It’s not complete, but I’m doing a few different color styles! Here’s what I have so far.

I did the drawing in the primary palette first and didn’t notice some weird angled stuff with the post the girl is leaning on until I was working on the softer palette. I want to switch out the plain yellow background with the more dynamic one on the left too! I really like the drawing overall and I think it would be a very cute business card....now I just have to remember to do the back.

While working on that, I watched a few YouTube videos! I was working for about 2 hours, so I can’t really recall everything I watched (I should have written it down, sorry).

After I got to a good stopping point with those, I made dinner! I had the rest of my potstickers (RIP :( gotta buy more) and rice! It was good, as always! I ate it up and watched...more YouTube. Embarrassing for me. It was a video about the WinX Club reboot! I haven’t watched it myself but I’ve heard from many people that it’s awful.

It’s time to go to bed! I work tomorrow morning...booooo.

Money spent: $5

Food consumed:

1 cup of coffee

Brownie!

Iced caramel macchiato

2 slices of pizza

potstickers and rice

Media consumed:

YouTube (god I want to say like 5 hours...embarrassing)

Spotify (~1 hour)

A palette to describe my day:

Productive!

Sass Master Ryder,Pathfinder of Burns

Romanced companions react to Ryder having no chill

~~~~~~~~~

Jaal- He and his darling one were at a Nexus party, although it is fairly obvious that neither of them wanted to be there.

Even so,Ryder kept up a smiling facede despite wanting to shoot a wall repeatedly. Jaal, however, could not physically contain his annoyance. Finally the two said "hello" and made there rounds enough to retreat off into a corner balconey drinking and complaining about other people to themselves.

Suddenly, an obnoxious laugh rang off from behind them, and Ryder groaned, recognizing it. It was their hometown terror, Celeste,the one person they despised more than anyone in the entire universe, or in this case universes. Not because She was specifically a bully to Ryder, but because she always made it a point to talk about herself and her achievements and how much better she is,was or will be compared to every body else.

When Ryder had heard Celeste had joined the Initiative, they had hoped and prayed they'd never have to be on the same planet as her, let alone city. But there she stood, in all her sneering glory.

"Well,Well Ryder." She smirked "Still getting drunk in the back of parties? I see your slobishness and tastelessnes have stayed in tact all the way out here."

Jaal felt himself getting angry, but before he could say anything, Ryder quipped out "Unlike your engagement."

Celeste spulttered out as Ryder continued.

"Word on the street says that he dropped you like a sack of bricks as soon as he got here. "First to be married in Andromeda" you always bragged. Well congratulations, you the first person I know to be dumped in Andrmeda."

Celeste turned red and stormed away, while Jaal just chuckled at Ryder's firey comeback.

"Well,played,my darling one." He cooed as he wrapped an arm around them. ".....although, I have yet to see these word's you speak of." He added quietly looking at the ground.

"Jaal..." Ryder began with a tired sigh, and he immediately caught on.

"Idiom?"

"Idiom."

Liam- Sara and Liam were attending a sort of fundraiser event to raise awarness and money for the cause of the Initiative restores and repairment. Every thing was going quite smooth, Ryder was smiling and talking out every cent that she could to do her job as pathfinder and better not only the lives of humans, but all the species in Andromeda.

Everything was going smoothly, and Ryder was doing her very best to make a good impression and hold her tounge. Untill she got to an old fashioned half human Asari Heiress, with enough cover up scandals on her to make a best selling series of novels.

Liam and Sara had walked up to the Heiress and her date, which also had the company of 3 other men. She stood their quietly, as the men talked.

When Sara and Liam walked right up to them,she paid no mind...until Sara started to speak.

"Hello," She said sticking out her hand "I'm Ryder, human Pathfinder." Before the men could say, the Heriess pushed down her hand with a gasp.

"Don't you know, your never supposed to open your mouth in the presence unless asked?"

And out of reflex, without missing a beat the sass came pouring out of Sara as she repied with "Oh! Like you do with your legs?"

The Heiress chocked on air to which Sara mutterd underneith her breath about an uneeded demonstration. The Heiress obviously heard and had to go exuse her self.

Liam was awfully quite during this, but thats because he was laughing so hard he couldn't breath.

He weezed out an ariy "Damn,Sara. You cant say that to an aristocrat." Before leaning over and clutching his stomach, audible laughs coming in short breaths.

Sara had to remind him to breath.

Gil- Gil is also a sass master, but nothing could prepare him for this level of savagery. This one is placed into the future after Jill had the baby, a boy by the name of Alec Ryder II, (This is my Headcanon, let me have it). They were having a family Outing, which actually just consisted of Gil visiting mechanics shops for new part, and Scott trailing behind him like a sad,lost puppy with Alec strapped to his chest because Gil has all the credits and he wants to get Icecream.

"Come on Gil!" Scoott whined "Ive waited over 600 years to have Icecream again. The shops right there."

"Just a little longer, Scott." Gil chuckled out. "Let me find this last part, then we'll go for icecream. Scouts honor, love." He pecked Scott on the lips before continuing to shop.

"You were never a Scout,Gil." Scott chuckled.

Suddenly a bystander made a noise of distaste at the husbands affections. "What a disgusting desplay." He sneered "Such a horrific sight should not be seen by a child."

"Your absolute right," Ryder gasped with mock offensiveness "Sir you. should leave, lest you make my son cry with that mug of yours."

The man let out an actual offensed gasp before storming out.

"I changed my mind!" Gil laughed out "Ice cream now. You earned it, big boy." He grabbed Ryder by the hand and lead him to the parlor, which happened to be in the same direction the man stompped off in.

"Hey!"Gil called out after him? "Would you like me to buy you an Icecream for that burn?"

Suvi- This is also in the future, at a PTA meeting.The school was built and expanded upon on Aya, and it has mixed classes that teach all the basic subjects while still educating the children about the other species. Sara and Suvi had adopted Agrarian twins, Ellen and Alec, which were hanging out with Uncle Scott. The children were gone and the claws came out. The girls just let it play out, not really getting involved.

...Until homophobia got thrown into the mix over the "Safety,Security, and purity of the children."

"It is not good for the children," a mother protested. "They are young and impressionable. What if my son see's this and grows up, only to run off with another man like a hoodlim."

People where angry now. Suvi was angry,the anagra were angry. Who was she to lable love? But before anyone else could say something, Sara responded in a calm tone.

"Grow up and run off with another,

Huh? That’s funny. Isn’t that what your ex-husband did,Linda?"

Cue a collective room off "Oooooooo's" as Linda left earily

"Tell Frank and Denis that as pathfinder, Id be glad to attend their wedding!"

Cora- She and Scott were at a Nexus Gala , and Scott was stalking the snack table and Cora spoke with guests and superiors, celebrating there success and making plans for future colonies. Scott couldnt really care less as the moment, and instead concentrated on stacking a tower full of what he hoped are brownies. Suddenly, Tesla, an officer Scott could not stand came up behind him and tsked

"Isn't that your forth plate of food?" She scoffed.

"Dont know," Ryder shrugged, sarcasm dripping from his tone "Isnt that your 3rd husband?" He jesters towards the man Cora was talking to, or atlesst trying to talk to as she choked on her champagne. Apparently they were in ear shot.

She slapped him on the arm for it, but still smiled.

PeeBee- Oh, she is so glad that POC recorded this.She and Ryder were grabbing a drink with POC in tow, when a rather high strung Asari obviously nearing the end of her Matron stage sat next to them and demanded a drink. They ignored her mostly, laughing and drinking among themselves, until she got tipsy and felt the need to comment on PeeBee "as an Asari."

"As an Asari," she sneered "One would think you'd now to dress yourself by now. You've had 100 years of practice yet you wear that? You look like a hobo, nothing matches."

And without missing a beat, Ryder replied. "You know what else doesnt match? The father's of your children. Or that ugly ass hat your wearing."

"It is a traditional Matriarch head wrap!" She gasped.

"It's hideous." Ryder retorted as she walked away.

PeeBee choked on her whsikey, but still gave an infectious laugh.

"My hero."she playfully cooed "Next rounds on me."

Reyes- Firstly, this dude had to have a titanium balls to even walk up to these two. It was some washed up has-been politician hoping to gain some shadey connections to get back in the game. He had asked around, and paid off people with the last of his dirty money to find this "Charlatan".

The real one.

He had to get past decoy after fruad after decoy, but he finally found Reyes. Needless to say he did well to hide his shock at the fact that the King of Kadara port was hidding out in the backrooms of Tartarus locking lips with the Human pathfinder.

The politician stood patiently as the guard announced the guest, causing Reyes to groan and reluctantly break the kiss.

"Yes?" He hissed, obviously annoyed at the politician's presence,who seemed unphased by his hostility. He stated his case and offered a proposition, to which Reyes consider. "Intresting," Reyes spoke with a smirk "But,Ill have to consort with my companion here. Not only is Ryder the Queen/Second King of Kadara port, but a Pathfinder as well. Your re-initiation will effect the Initiative, no doubt."

The politician seemed annoyed,but let the two have a brief moment. It was there Reyes learned exactly why he had been replaced. The politician made several baf calls thats resulted in major deaths and civilian risks, had been in countless scandals ,and ignored Judicial rullings for his own gain. He'd screw the Initiative (and ultiamtly Ryder) sideways which will undoubtedly screw funding and supply to sevral plantes and outposts, including Kadra Port (and Ultimately Reyes)

Reyes refused after learning this and had him black listed .The politician grew hostile at rejection and had to be physically removed from the room by the guards, lest Reyes shoot him and get kicked out by Umi.

"YOU!" he spat out accusingly at Ryder "This is your fault! I almost had him! You need to mind your own business and stay out of grown men's conversations, little girl/boy."

"And you," Ryder replied with mockery just as the politician was being hualed out the door "Need to stay out of married women's beds. But neither of us will be doing what we "need" to any time soon, now will we?"

"Damn," Reyes laughed "Your hot when your sassy." Then he leaned over to picky up where they left off

The politician was still found dead few days later though, and Reyes only halfway feind innocence.

Vetra(And Lexi, I guess)- Ah, no one has more sass than a sibling. Sassing each other is hardwired into evry sibling relationship. Ryder was visiting thier twin, who was awake, but still on bed rest. They talking for a bit, but that soon turned into a sassing contest. And ecen even though is was all in could fun, the amount of shade being thrown could blot out the sun. Currently they were talking about their teenage years before getting old enough to join the military,only vaguely aware of Lexi giving Vetra a check up

"Atleast my knees weren't always ashy." The twin quipped.

"Well no duh," Ryder scoffed playfully in a sing-song voice "You applied extra lotion cause you were always on them."

The twin gasped and put hand of mock hurt on thier chest, then began wacking their sibling with a pillow when they started naming people.

"Ryder!" Vetra chuckled out as lexi smiled shook her head,making a mental note to keep track of both twins sexual histories.

"That's below the belt, Bro/Sis!" The twin exclaimed as they continued wacked the other with a pillow

"Oh,like you were with Terry Maclamra behind the bleachers in junior year?" They ended up getting hit even harder.

Vetra had to stay back longer because she laughed so hard she could breath, and swears she saw a tear roll down Lexi's cheek as the leand on the table and bowed her head,hiding the silent laugh.
