[junicai]

Relationship with WAYV

➣ KUN ☾ karia

if it wasn’t for dotae potentially coming to kill him, he would steal aria into wayv

he’s the cool dad? 

they can’t spend a lot of time together because none of their schedules match up, but aria takes every third or so weekend out to come have dinner in the wayv dorms

she’s surprisingly close to the china line, and its a combination of ten dragging her to his dorm for an entire month and them just kinda adopting her when they realized she was a foreigner as well 

yuta can fight them, she’s one of them now

he doesn’t like to baby her a lot, and she really appreciates the break from being the “maknae” so to speak 

however does that stop him from giving her the forehead kithes? no

aria sad? forehead kith

aria mad? forehead kith

aria smad? forehead kith + kuddles (kun cuddles)

he has sent her a passive agressive text when he found out that she wasn’t eating enough again and had almost passed out

but he finished it with a heart so its ok

if she isn’t smiling at all times, someone will die

aria feels like she can trust him with a lot; that no matter what she tells him, he’ll never out her or make fun of her

kun actually took a two-week online course to learn how to make traditional japanese dishes when aria mentioned missing her parents

he originally was going to learn how to make irish dishes, but he changed his mind after seeing what they were

“im not giving my kids boiled cabbage and mashed potatoes what kind of post world war-”

wants to give her a chinese name but hasn’t yet because he hasn’t found the one that fits her right and he wants it to be perfect 

aria teaches him japanese phrases in exchange for him teaching her a little bit of mandarin

FAN FAVOURITE MOMENT.

aria saw kun’s back as she entered the practice room, the man standing with three other members in the centre of the floor before the choreographer came in to start their practice. coming up behind him, she wrapped her arms around his waist, peeking her head around from where she was. “hi!” she smiled brightly.

“hi,” ten chuckled, showing her the camera that had just filmed all of that. 

➣ TEN ☾ tenaria

Whipped(TM)

so so gone for her its upsetting actually

yangyang and aria share the position of his baby 

except aria willingly accepts the title while yangyang would rather fling himself from a rooftop

ten’s instagram is half his cats, half miyazu aria

he posts her dancing practice on his story a lot, with a variety of captions ranging from “thats my baby  ♡( ◡‿◡ )” to “yah that’s not right...(눈_눈)”

such an enabler for her bad ideas 

aria wants to go shopping at 4am? ten agrees, now they’re sitting by han river eating ice cream

pls he’s gonna get her in so much trouble one day

when they walk together, ten likes to take her hand and put it in his pocket 

its under the pretense of not wanting her to get lost 

he just wants to hold her hand

yes he has lost her in a shopping mall, and NO it wasn’t his fault

ten always complains that they never have schedules together and he misses his baby 

“we have superm-” “I NEVER SEE YOUUUU (ﾉಥ益ಥ)ﾉ”

if they’re in the same room ten is either watching her out of the corner of his eye, or is actually wrapped around her like a boa constrictor 

hugs n kithes all around

only he is allowed make fun of her mistakes in dancing 

anyone else gets deaded. he will fight for her honor how dare you insult his baby 

sm give these ttwo a dancing duo video pls 

FAN FAVOURITE MOMENT. 

the first and only time aria and ten had a duet was during their last concert on superm’s first world tour. during the second half of ten’s solo performance, aria emerged from the left side of the stage, coming to join him in the centre stage. no one had ever seen aria as serious as she was then, both herself and ten becoming completely different people in the moment. midway through, aria spun with her back to ten and leaped backwards into the air - eyes closed - completely trusting ten to be where she needed him to be to catch her. 

➣ WINWIN ☾ winria

a love hate relationship at its finest

they don’t actually hate each other it’s just really funny to pretend that they do (especially because yuta complains that 2 of his favourite people aren’t getting along)

winwin is so savage towards aria but it’s ok she claps back twice as hard

at first, before czennies had seen enough of their dynamic they thought that they actually did hate each other

but that’s not true they just don’t know how to express, affection, without brutally insulting the other with a loving tone

they are, surprisingly, the most stable pairing in 127 - they have a dynamic and rarely stray from that, which is a good comfort for the fans

despite what they might say to each other, they don’t mean any of it - and winwin has been seen several times raising his eyebrows with a questioning look at aria to make sure she wasn’t taking any of his playful jabs to heart

oh god the flexibility

the entirety of nct is terrified of them

the day sm gives them a circus act is the day that kun and taeyong have a heart attack

quietly supportive of each other - catch aria “playing” with a water bottle and not getting up to get it when it conveniently rolls across the floor and into winwin’s leg

he makes sure to save some new chinese sweets whenever the wayv members get packages from their familes, and sneak it into aria’s room before the managers can catch her breaking her diet

not really physically affectionate with each other, which played into czennies idea that they didn’t like each other but aria cleared it up in a vlive

“winwinnie and I, well. we don’t hug a lot because i know he doesn’t like it as much as i might, so i try to show him i care with other things :)”

FAN FAVOURITE MOMENT.

winwin and aria going in to each other on knowing brothers, to the point where the mc’s had their eyes popping out of their head and waved about to stop the segment before aria could start attacking winwin’s cooking methods-

nothing is off limits when it comes to them

➣ LUCAS ☾ arihei

besties 

please they’re so cute together - tol child next to tini child she barely comes up to his chest :(

bear hugs

he just swamps her in his arms, and when he doesn’t feel like being bent over he picks her up 

complains that she’s too heavy but then immediately after will throw her around like a softball 

someone tell this man to be careful with her she’s not a barbie doll 

singular braincell energy

don’t get it wrong, they’re both super smart 

so it’s just - being smort together, but then nearly dying because neither of them remembered that you couldn’t eat raw cookie dough when there are eggs in it

she adores how he’s so confident in the things that he does - like convincing the entire nct fandom that he was fluent in english? king behaviour

so aria looks up to him (literally) but also because she wants to have that confidence some day 

lucas says they’re not close and then aria pouts and he takes it all back

nczennies made a 14 minute compilation titled “lucas melting like a popsicle in australia for aria” 

and literally what the title tells you, this man goes :(( when he sees her 

lucas was actually the person to convince her to go ahead with the [redacted] proposal - and reminded her that it was too good an opportunity to pass up just because she felt like she was outgrowing the boys

he’s so proud of her

and she’s so proud of him 

they’re so proud of each other and it makes nczennies want to cry because they never are seen together 

sm stop separating the platonic soulmates first markhyuck and now arihei smh

FAN FAVOURITE MOMENT.

during a photoshoot, aria was standing off to the side of the boys, dressed in white suit to contrast the boys’ black ones. the photographer was calling out to her to get her to move closer, but she couldn’t hear him from so far away, and so lucas (who was on the end) just walked over to her, gripped her by the biceps and lifted her vertically and to the left a little bit. 

“luc-LUCAS?”

“you had to move :)”

➣ XIAOJUN ☾ arijun

honestly these two aren’t super close, just because their schedules never matched up until the NCT 2020 promotions

even when aria was dragged to the wayv dorms, xiaojun kept his distance from her because he didn’t want to make her uncomfortable 

even so, when they were filming Make A Wish together, they seemed comfortable enough around each other

there was a mutual agreement to not try fill the silence with awkward small talk, so they sat in silence when left alone together

they’re both shy :( someone needs to get them to talk to each other :(

even so, aria was all supportive smiles and thumbs-up when she saw him getting nervous before their first public stage as the unit 

he was a little intimidated of her at first, but also really curious about how she was holding her own against the other members

not only physically, but her vibes are tiny let the man be concerned ok

his first impression of aria was just: small quiet? she was sitting apart from the other boys in the practice room, and he almost wanted to go over and ask her if she was ok; before she was approached by donghyuck and her face broke into a bright smile 

aria’s first impression of xiaojun was: eyebrows he was really handsome? at first, she thought he was in the wrong room, seeing as the SM modeling auditions were happening in the next room down

any arijun shippers are starved of content im so sorry guys 

FAN FAVOURITE MOMENT. 

currently still up for debate between the fandom :(

➣ HENDERY ☾ aridery

ah these two 

you might as well sign a waiver if you decide to do anything with them, because they can and will get you killed 

kun can testify

ten’s the enabler but hendery is the do-er

super giggly around each other, for no reason at all

hendery could pick up and throw a basketball and suddenly aria’s on the floor in literal stitches 

have a secret code 

no seriously

they don’t text in words, they just send various reaction memes and a colourful variety of emojis to convey emotions and scenarios 

it’s become quite a beautiful language actually 

got some nice proverbs in there

they’re like, cousins but the ones you only see at family reunions but get so hype to see them

that energy 

asides from the chaotic, murderous vibes they possess as a duo

hendery knows what it’s like to miss home, to miss your parents, etc etc

and so he tries to make aria feel as home as possible - especially with wayv, because they’re all foreigners who know how she feels 

whenever he gets packages from his parents who have sent things over, he always makes sure to keep some of the small treats/sweets back for aria

1. because he knows she’ll appreciate the thought and she gives good hugs

2. because he knows she’s on a diet constantly and never allowed eat these things when she’s in the dorms with managers around 

FAN FAVOURITE MOMENT. 

filming the Resonance “Wish” event, aria was put in a skimpy minimalistic mock-suit to differentiate from the others’ clothes. unfortunately, that left aria with a little too much shoulder and chest on display than she would like, and she was noticeably uncomfortable with her clothes, constantly pulling it up and even going so far as to just hold it with her hands. 

hendery saw this, and knew he was finished filming his segment for the time being, so he pulled off his own jacket and tossed it over to aria, who caught it with a grateful smile. “thank you,” she mouthed to him, tugging the dark blue material over her shoulders.

➣ YANGYANG ☾ ariyang

aria. has 9 days of age on this boy and will never let him forget it

“respect your elders you brat” “9. DAYS.”

european pals 

they feel so cultured when they get asked about europe, and then are kindly reminded by hendery that A. Germany started 2 world wars, and B. Ireland was just a British colony until 100 years ago. 

they both hit him for that

aria teaching him curse words in irish and yangyang teaching her curse words in german? more likely than you’d think 

they met before yangyang’s debut was announced, in a practice room that had let them accidentally overlap their practice times 

instead of working it out between them, they actually just started to alternate their songs - and the other gave them some good, constructive criticism 

most of the time

when they found out they were going to be in 90s Love together, they were so happy 

it was going to be their first official schedule together

all the behind-the-scenes videos are just aria and yangyang being children and then ten coming over and cooing at them 

they love ten, but they will trash talk the man behind his back 

yangyang confessed to her that he sometimes feels nervous when speaking korean, like he’s going to make a big mistake

so she tries her best to teach and correct him where she can, and make him as comfortable as possible 

if you look at any of the 90s Love promotions - aria is always beside yangyang

he bit her ear once

she doesn’t know why and he won’t tell her

but now when she makes fun of him, he threatens to do it again 

FAN FAVOURITE MOMENT. 

aria skating onto the rink during filming, and yangyang following her because she promised to teach him how to skate backwards.

“ok just, think like you’re leading with your heels. press your knees in, and push outwards, with you-no no that’s forwards. go backwards yangyang.”

“no no no thats a WALL YANGYANG STOP-���

The Worst Kind of Time Travel AU Part Four

[First Part]

[Second Part]

[Third Part]

Yu Ziyuan surveyed the scene before her. Her son and daughter were at Wei Wuxian’s bedside, discussing the latest letter from their lao lao and peeling lotus seeds. The sight would have normally incited fury within her, but considering the stiffness of A-Cheng’s shoulders and the dark circles under A-Li’s eyes, she thought it best to suppress her knee-jerk reaction. Everyone was stressed enough as it was, with their head disciple out of commission for the foreseeable future and the rumors of his death cycling around the cultivation world.

 She knew that Wei Wuxian would bring trouble down upon their sect one way or another. But to think that this was the way that it would happen...she really didn’t know how to feel about it.

 Wei Wuxian was sedated still, having experienced emotional fits the few times he had awoken in the past two days. The healers were keeping a close eye on his condition, but they were concerned by the slow progress of his recovery. His level of cultivation should have healed him by now. It frustrated her, to have so little answers at this time. What possible reason could Wei Wuxian have done this? Had not Yunmeng Jiang given him everything and more? To have undermined all of her hard work with this one selfish act. Didn’t he know how this would have affected the sect, affected the progress of his subordinates, affected the emotional states of her children?

 “Madame Yu,” Zhao Hong, leader of the black lotus, bowed before her. He was dressed as a servant today, the only clue to his status being a carefully hidden dagger within the folds of his robes, perceptible only to her because she was specifically looking for it. Flecks of brown stained his hemline and boots, alluding to the task she had given him this very morning.

 “What is it? What have you found?” He would not have come and addressed her so directly had he not found something critical amongst Wei Wuxian’s belongings.

 “A letter, written in Wei-gongzi’s own hand, and addressed to the Madame herself.”

 Shock rippled through her. The scroll that was handed to her was thick, her name emblazoned right underneath the qi activated seal. It was pristine, free from the dark red that had decorated the rest of everything in Wei Wuxian’s room. No doubt protected by a shield array. His supposed last words, addressed to her and her alone, important enough to warrant some complex cultivation to protect them. To make sure that they reached her before anyone else.

 “A-Niang?” A-Li finally noticed her standing at the entrance of the room, both her and A-Cheng rising from their seats and bowing briefly in acknowledgement.

 “Sit back down, there is time still yet for visiting.” She turned back to Zhuo Hong. “Prepare my evening meal separate from everyone else. I shall be in my pavilion and I wish not to be disturbed for the rest of the evening.”

 He bowed in acknowledgement of her orders, both spoken and unspoken, and walked away. She glanced back inside Wei Wuxian’s recovery room to check that everything was in order (including a few other members of the black lotus’, posing as healers and servants as well, to guard all three of their young charges in this time of internal turmoil) before departing.

 As she walked, she prepared herself for the contents of the letter, sure that she could handle anything Wei Wuxian would wish to say to her.

 But nothing could have prepared her for the tragedy she was about to read.

 The last page of Wei Wuxian’s letter slipped from her numb fingers and fell to the polished desk. She sat back from her hunched position and struggled to breathe past the emotions clogging her lungs. If it was really possible for Wei Wuxian to have traveled from the future, this future, then it would explain his every action from the moment of his waking.

 If it was really possible, and that this was their future, then… Real fear, something that she had not experienced since her youth, jolted her into action. She shot up from her seat and tore through the halls of her sect, unable to stop imagining the beautiful halls replaced with rubble, the intricate violet banners burned down to make way for red, and the bodies of her disciples strewn across every surface.

 She came into Wei Wuxian’s room like a typhoon, purple lightning crackling from Zidian, her spiritual weapon picking up on her mood and preparing itself for battle. The head healer was tending to him when she arrived.

 “Wake him up!”

 “M-Madam Yu, I would n-not rec….”

 She released Zidian with a crackle of power. “Did I not make myself clear?! Awaken him at once!”

 The man whimpered but quickly moved to unblock the meridians that were keeping the boy unconscious. Once his work was done, she dismissed him and he eagerly abandoned his patient, the coward. Wei Wuxian awoke with a groan of pain, his senses coming to order in quick time, his cultivation perhaps perceiving the immediate threat that she posed.

 “Is it true?”

 He looked up at her with an expression she had never seen on his face before: guilt. “Yes,” he whispered, tears welling up in the corner of his eyes, “It’s all true.”

 Anger and frustration and fear warred within her. Red filled her vision and she moved almost unconsciously, Zidian wrapping around Wei Wuxian’s throat like a boa, constricting with every labored breath but abstaining from the finishing blow. It would not kill until its mistress gave the order.

 She could kill Wei Wuxian and prevent the atrocities his trouble making would bring down upon their heads. It would be easy to finish the job that he had half-assed in the first place. Everything would surely be better without him in their lives.

 But…

 The boy in front of her was not the same one that did all of those things. The hopelessness and resignation in his eyes, a hauntingly familiar sight for her. A vision of nine-year-old Wei Ying filled her vision, dirty, malnourished, scared, and with the same look in his silvery eyes. This boy was like he was then, broken and beaten down by his circumstances and the actions of others.

 And she couldn’t do it.

 Zidian loosened from around his throat and gently returned to his ring form, buzzing a comforting rhythm on her finger. Wei Wuxian frantically took in oxygen through a doubly damaged throat, the pain and shock making him lose consciousness once more. His throat was bleeding, some of the stitches having been torn. She called in the healer to patch the boy up again and quickly left.

 She had work to do.

[Fifth Part]

[thelighthousemp3]

If you are still accepting dianetti prompts: During the annual Detectives Only Getaway, Rosa kisses Gina in front of everyone, but freaks out and runs when she realizes what she has done, thinking Gina doesn't feel the same.

read on ao3 or below

“We should totally have the getaway in Vegas this year,” Jake says, dropping his duffel bag down on the ground. Rosa arches an eyebrow as Charles jumps up to immediately agree with him.

“Yeah, we should!” Charles says, pumping his fist up in the air and dropping his bag in the process. Amy sighs as she breaks the bad news to them.

“We’ve already chosen  a location and it’s too late to change that now, Jake. The hotel is all booked, too,” Amy says, clutching onto her husband’s arm. She squints in the faint daylight raises her hand to block the sun from pouring into her eyes.

“Sure we can change it,” Jake says, grabbing his duffel and climbing onto the nice coach bus in front of them. “Can you drive us to Vegas instead?” he asks the man who is slumped in the driver’s seat.

“Nope,” the man says. “Unless you got an extra two thousand dollars.”

“Eh,” Jake shrugs. “I guess we’re going to Captain Holt’s location, then,” he say, stepping out of the bus.

“Damn right we are,” Captain Holt mumbles. He covers what seems to be a yawn with a brochure. “It is a great place. All of the detectives will be there.” He glances at Amy’s frown. “Except for Teddy, of course, who has chosen to opt out of the getaway this year.”

Amy sighs with relief and adjusts the shoulder strap of her own bag. Jake kicks at a patch of grass on the ground and yawns loudly. “When can we leave?” he asks. “I wanna take a nap on the bus.”

“But what about the mix-tape I made?” Charles asks, holding up a disk.

Jake’s eyes brighten. “Ooooh, yeah! I’m not tired anymore!” He turns to Amy. “Hey, babe, can I sit next to Charles?” Amy smiles and nods.

“Gina is not here yet, so we are unable to leave,” Holt says. “I have tried texting her, but she did not reply.”

“That’s because I didn’t know who your were and I thought you were stalking me,” a voice announces. Gina walks up behind the squad with a feather boa wrapped around her neck and sunglasses resting perfectly on her nose. “Captain, no offense, but you should really learn how to text properly. Ugh, can someone help me with my bags?”

“How could you not have known that it was I who was texting you? I signed my text messages,” Captain Holt says as Terry rushes forward to help Gina with her things. Gina waves a dismissive hand as she walks up the the bus and climbs in.

“I could use a margarita,” Gina mutters, surveying the interior of the bus.

“Believe me, I could too,” the driver chimes in. Gina ignores him and sits down in a seat near the back as the rest of the squad follows. Rosa kicks back in a seat and puts her feet up on the seat in front of her. Charles and Jake sit down near the front of the bus. Amy walks near the back of the bus and starts sitting down next to Gina. “Nope. I sit alone,” Gina says, tossing a bag on the seat next to her.. Amy frowns and makes her way towards Rosa.

“Can I sit next to you?” she asks.

Rosa snorts. “Sure whatever. As long as you don’t speak.”

Amy gratefully sits down next to Rosa and opens up her crossword puzzle book. Rosa pulls out a pair of headphones and snaps them around her ears, blocking out everyone’s voices.

They stop along the way about three times, twice for bathroom breaks and once to throw Charles’s food out of the window because it is giving off some sort of awful smell.

But within no time, they arrive at the nice hotel at the getaway. The Nine-Nine files off of the coach bus and walks up the steps of the hotel with their bags in hand.

Immediately, they are swarmed by other detectives. Shouts of “Peralta!” and “Terry!” and the occasional “Sergeant Santiago!” and “Captain Holt!” fill the lobby. “I’m Boyle!” Charles shouts as he struggles to follow Jake through the throng of people.

Rosa rolls her eyes and sits down on a couch. Out of the corner of her eye, she sees a detective moving to approach her. She holds up her middle finger upon recognizing him; he’s one of the detectives that she’s known since the academy and he’s constantly trying to ask her out. “Have a boyfriend,” she says shortly and the detective turns away.

“You do?” Gina asks, plopping down onto the couch next to Rosa. “This is news to me.” She holds a glittering nail file in one hand. Her sunglasses are now balanced on top of her head, and she searches Rosa’s face with her bright blue eyes for any information.

“Nah. I was just saying that to get him to go away,” Rosa mutters. She pulls her phone out of her pocket and rubs the screen clean on her jeans.

“Classic Rosa, then,” Gina grins. “What if they want to know who your boyfriend is?”

“They’re not gonna get any information, Gina,” Rosa says.

“Yeah, because he’s not real,” Gina says.

Something in Rosa’s gut twists as she stares into Gina’s twinkling eyes.  Rosa hardheartedly murmurs an agreement and subconsciously brushes a dark curl behind her ear. “You know what? You’re cute, Rosa,” Gina says. She stands up and walks away.

Rosa watches her disappear into the crowd of people in shock. What did Gina just say? Rosa blinks a few times and then dismisses it. It’s probably just Gina being herself.

By noon, Gina’s perched on top of the bar, sipping on a cocktail of some sort and watching Jake lead a game of pin the badge in the detective. She checks her phone every once in while and then looks up to see Rosa leaning against the bar. “Oh, hey, Rosie,” Gina mutters. “Having fun?”

Rosa laughs dryly. “Yup. You?”

“Well, now that you’re here I am,” Gina says casually, looking through Taylor Swift’s Instagram feed.

The sly remark causes Rosa’s cheeks to slightly heat up. “What?” she asks.

Gina laughs, looking up to see Terry giving out piggyback rides to some of the detective. “Rosa, you’re super adorable. Anyways, I’m gonna go hop on that train!” she jumps off of the bar and makes a beeline towards Terry.

Once again, Rosa stares after Gina’s receding figure. She clenches her jaw for a moment. Get it together, Rosa, she tells herself vigorously as Charles comes by and invites her to play a game of pool.

She’d be lying if she says that she’s never thought about Gina like that. Like, maybe romantic stylez. Gina is literally the whole package. She’s fierce, gorgeous, intimidating in her own way, smart, (minimally) caring, and crazy hot. She’s Gina freaking Linetti. And Rosa would hate to admit it but Gina fits perfectly into her type.

Rosa tries to shake the thoughts from her head as she aims the cue stick at a ball and shoots it across the pool table. “Calm down, Rosa,” Charles says as the ball ricochets on the table. It finally ends up in one of the nets and Rosa grins at Charles triumphantly.

“I can’t wait for the party,” Charles says, hefting up his cue stick. “You excited, Ro-Ro? You seem a little bit out of it today. We’re supposed to have fun today!”

Rosa sighs, slamming her cue stick down on the pool table. Charles jumps back in surprise. “I know we’re supposed to be having fun,” Rosa mumbles. “But I just can’t for some reason.”

Charles crosses to her side of the pool table hesitantly. “What’s wrong?” he asks.

Rosa isn’t sure if she wants to talk about it, but Charles gives her half of a smile and she caves. “I can’t stop thinking about this one person. If they… like me or not,” she says, thinking of Gina’s auburn hair and glimmering blue eyes.

Charles raises his eyebrows in surprise. “Oh? Well, Rosa,” he says, rubbing both of his hands together, “do you like this person?”

It’s not the first time that she’s been attacked with this question. Most times before, however, she had been asking herself this question but now Charles was asking it.

Rosa closes her eyes for a moment. She closes her fist and does everything in her power to refrain from smashing it onto the pool table. “Uh, I think. I think I like this person but what if they don’t like me back?”

“Rosa, that’s crazy! Of course they like you! Everyone loves you!” Charles says. “You’re awesome!”

“You think so?”

“Yeah, of course!” Charles says. “Ask this person out! Do something romantic; a big gesture or something! Oh, I know a guy who can rent you a hundred doves―”

Rosa smiles. “Okay, Charles,” she cuts in. “Thanks. I got it now.”

“Keep me posted!” Charles squeals as they leave the game of pool abandoned and go their separate ways.

Sometimes later, the Nine-Nine finds its way back into a group. Jake excitedly tells them about the party that’s happening about an hour later on the top floor. “And there’s gonna be karaoke, and there’s gonna be music, I mean, obviously, and there’ll be drinks, and― oh, hey, Captain! You’re coming to the party, right?”

“I may drop by for a short amount of time,” Captain Holt says.

But Rosa isn’t paying attention to the conversation. She’s more focused on the person standing next to her: Gina. Rosa hasn’t gotten a chance to whisk Gina away and talk to her.

Or maybe she has, but she’s just been a little bit afraid, so she’s been avoiding Gina. It should be easy for Rosa. Rosa’s never had a fear of rejection until now. She just wants Gina to like her.

So that’s how Rosa finds herself drifting closer to Gina until Gina looks up and meets Rosa’s eyes. “Hey,” Gina says. “You coming to the party, right, Rosie?”

Rosa’s heart flutters slightly at the nickname and she forces herself to nod.

“Cool. I’m glad you’ll be there so I won’t have to hang out with all of these dum-dums,” Gina continues.

Rosa nearly bites her lip as she gazes into Gina’s large blue eyes. For some reason, she’s love-struck. A whirlwind of emotions storm through her mind as she tunes out the conversation and leans in closer to Gina. And she doesn’t know what makes her do it, but suddenly her lips are slightly brushing against Gina’s.

Rosa quickly breaks away and glances at Gina’s shocked expression before looking back at the Nine-Nine. Everyone is staring at Rosa and Gina. Jake’s mouth hangs open as Amy clutches onto his arm. Captain Holt holds a stoic expression on his face. Charles’s face registers from surprise to a gleeful smile. Both of Terry’s eyebrows are raised as he looks from Rosa to Gina and then back to Rosa.

Rosa doesn’t know what to do. She feels like she’s obviously made a terrible mistake. She takes a few steps away before slightly turning back for a moment. “Uh, see you at the party,” she manages. Gina gives her a sort of half-smile and Rosa flees towards the hotel stairs. She thunders up to her room with her fists clenched.

Rosa slams the door shut before pulling a knife out of her sleeve. She hurls it at the opposite wall, releasing a storm of emotions through her fingertips. The knife lodges in the wall with a thud. Rosa takes a deep breath and falls onto the bed.

She doesn’t know what to do. Rosa grabs a pillow and lets out a muffled scream into it. She’s so frustrated. Rosa throws the pillow across the room and scrambles onto the floor. She frantically unzips her duffel and pulls out a pair of headphones.

And moments later, her feelings are being drowned out by some rock band she doesn’t even recognize as the music loudly echoes through her head. And then a few minutes later, a Rihanna song starts playing. Rosa curses― her music has been playing on shuffle. She skips the song because it’s one of Gina’s favorites. Gina, the person that Rosa is trying her best to not think about.

A tear starts forming in the corner of her eye and Rosa quickly wipes it away. She sits on the bed in silence for a while before glancing at the time.

The party. There’s no way Rosa can go to the party. Everyone is going to be there.

Rosa doesn’t care if she’s being a coward. She doesn’t want to face Gina. Rosa gets up and walks across the hotel room, glancing out of the window. She ponders escaping and running away to some other country and erasing her identity for a new start before seeing a window-washer making their way up to her window. Rosa wrinkles her nose and draws the curtains shut before flopping back down on the bed.

The party’s started by now. But Rosa couldn’t care less. She’s in a state of hopelessness and anger and there’s no one she wants to see and nothing she wants to do. She wants to be left alone.

The detective getaways are supposed to be fun, but Rosa’s wallowing in misery because she’s made the worst mistake of her life by kissing Gina Linetti. And in front of everyone, too.

A few minutes later, someone starts pounding on Rosa’s door. Rosa ignores it, burying her head into the mountain of pillows on the bed.

The knocking continues. “Go away,” Rosa barks, but the knocking just increases.

Finally, Rosa drags herself out of bed and to the door. She opens it a crack to see who it is, but Gina Linetti pushes past Rosa and walks into the hotel room.

And Rosa doesn’t know why, but she’s suddenly angry. Why is Gina here? Rosa pulls another knife out of her jacket and throws it with force. It sticks into the wall right next to the first knife.

“Damn, girl,” Gina drawls while surveying the messy room.

Rosa crosses her arms. “What,” she says flatly.

“Rosa, you said you’d be at the party. Like a liar. I got stuck watching Charles try to shave his hair off with an iron,” Gina says, sitting down on the bed. Rosa lets out a snort as she closes the door and walks into the hotel room.

“Sorry,” Rosa mutters, crossing her arms. “I―”

“What’s wrong?” Gina interrupts. “Is this about what happened earlier?”

Rosa raises an eyebrow. “Yup,” she mumbles.

“Oh, damn. I am so sorry that Amy had to sit next to you on the ride here. I didn’t know it would make you skip the party―”

“We kissed!” Rosa blurts. “And you don’t even want to talk about it!?”

Gina cocks her head to one side. “Oh, yeah. What is there to talk about, though? Rosa, you like me. I like you. We kissed. It happens sometimes.”

Rosa frowns. “Wait, what?” she asks, leaning slightly against the wall and holding onto a dresser for support. Gina drops her phone into her lap. “What did you say?”

“It happens sometimes?”

“No, before that.”

“We kissed?” Gina furrows her brow in confusion.

“No, you idiot, before that!” Rosa says.

“We like each other,” Gina says.

Rosa blinks a few times. “Yeah. That. You― you like me?”

“You’re saying it like you just realized,” Gina says. “Obviously, I like you, you dork.” Gina puts her phone on the bed and stands up to see Rosa grinning from ear to ear. “Oh my god, you did just realize! You’re so stupid, Rosie!”

“Am not,” Rosa says defensively. “You’re the stupid one.”

“All of the times I was flirting with you―”

“You were flirting with me?” Rosa asks incredulously.

Gina doesn’t answer because she’s abruptly pushing Rosa back against the wall and kissing her with intensity. Rosa mumbles something into the kiss before pushing Gina away.

“What?” Gina asks. “Was that not okay? I’m sorry―”

“No, no,” Rosa says quickly. “That was great. I was just saying that we don’t really have to go to that party―” but her words are cut off as Gina presses her body into Rosa and kisses her again.

“jack!” you exclaimed, catching his attention as he took a wide left turn. “could you drive any goddamn slower!?” you yelled, semi jokingly. it seemed as though he was purposefully driving at a snails pace just to push you over the edge of annoyance. it was working. “aw calm down, baby girl. we’ll be there in just a few minutes,” he taunted, taking your hand in his and bringing it up to his lips, placing a dramatized kiss on it. the loud smooching sound at the end and all. after he pulled his lips away from your hand, you flung it towards the wheel, grasping it in an attempt to get us there faster which obviously didn’t work. “what the fuck, y/n!? are you trying to kill us!” he panicked, taking your hand off of the wheel but not dropping it. just holding it tightly in his. “no,” you defended. “i just wanna get there!” you whined. “i miss your family!” “good thing you miss them cause here we are,” he chuckled as he pulled up to an empty spot by the curb. you flung the car door open and tried to get out while the car was still moving.

“jesus christ!” jack yelled, stopping the car immediately. after you got out of the car, you held the car door open and stood there, making dead eye contact with jack until it turned into a full blown staring contest. “okay,” he sighed once he finally blinked. “go say hi,” he said, a huge smile stretched across his face. the fact that you were so excited to see his family just proved to him how much everybody got along and it warmed his heart. if he wanted to spend the rest of his life with you, his family has to like you. “yay!” you cheered, leaning jack into the car and kissing his cheek gently. the last thing you heard before you shut the car door to run into the house was jack’s adorable laugh that always made you the happiest human being alive, no matter the situation. you turned away from the car and ran towards the house. you ran up the cement driveway, down the short gravel path with flat stones places every which way for you to walk on to reach the front porch, and up the four or five stairs that led you to the front door. once you got there, you pulled open the screen door so that you could knock. you instantly heard footsteps sprinting towards the door and you assumed they belonged to isla. you were right.

“hey, sweetie!” you beamed when she pulled open the door. not that you were trying to pick favorites, but you and isla always seemed to get along really well. you acted as if you were best friends, even if you were about ten years apart. “y/n!” she cheered, lunging forwards and wrapping her arms around your small frame, squeezing the life out of you. after hugging for a moment to make up for the lost time that you two had, you picked her up with a groan, causing a giggle to escape her lips. you placed her on your hip and walked into the living room, assuming that was where sydnie would be since honestly, when isn’t she. “hey, syd!” you smiled once she came into your view. “oh my god, hi!” she replied, jumping up from her spot on the couch, pulling off her beats headphones and going in for a hug. you didn’t put isla down, so it honestly turned into more of a group hug than anything. “isla,” you heard the love of your life scoff from behind you. “why does y/n get all the attention?” he asked, pretending to be offended that he hadn’t gotten a hug yet. isla shrieked and you placed her down onto the cold wood floors so she could grant jack’s wish. after setting her on the ground, you crossed yours arms over your exposed stomach since you were wearing a crop top that day and watched jack and his sister. it was truly the cutest thing ever.

the way that he squatted all the way down to the ground to wrap his arms around her and how he leaned the entire left side of his body against the wall nearest to him as him and isla started conversation. then, how he completely gave in when isla grabbed jack’s hand and used all of her weight to pull him upstairs to her room so that she could show him something. the way that he turned around to look at you as he was being pulled away by the little girl to mouth “be right back” is what truly did it for you. this was it. this was everything you’d ever wanted. right in front of you. “you really love him, don’t you?” sydnie smirked, clearly catching on to how much you were fonding over your beloved boyfriend. “i do,” you replied, a small blush creeping onto your cheeks. “he loves you just as much. i can tell,” she assured you. you smiled from ear to ear before asking her the question you had been wondering for the past few minutes. “where’s ava and kristen?" you asked.

"oh," sydnie chuckled. "well they didn't think you guys would be here for a little while longer so they went to get ava's eyebrows done," she smiled, causing a laugh to leave your lips.

"y/n!!" you heard isla shriek from upstairs. you looked towards the stairs in confusion before running up the stairs and following the voice of the little girl.

"what is it?" you asked as you walked into the girl's room that has been redecorated since you were last here. you burst into a fit of laughter as soon as you saw jack. he was sitting in the middle of the floor, his hair thrown into a man bun by none other than isla herself. he had a tiara placed perfectly on top of his head and he had a pink, fluffy boa around his neck. finally, he had his feet shoved into a pair of kirsten's heels. it was truly a sight to see.

"do you still love me, baby?" he asked as he stood up from the ground, struggling to walk towards you in his heels.

"god, no," you joked once he finally reached you. he removed the boa from his neck and wrapped it around your shoulders, using it to pull you closer to him. he brought you closer and closer until our bodies were nearly touching.

"how about now?" he smirked.

"eww!!!" isla screeched from behind us just as you opened your mouth to reply. you and jack laughed at her response and he wrapped his arm around your shoulder as you walked over to her bed. your legs were draped over his and you were comfortably seated while isla was showing the two of you how she switched up her room.

"JACK'S CAR IS OUT FRONT!" you heard ava yell from downstairs just as isla was finishing up the tour. "WHERE ARE THEY!?" she asked sydnie. just seconds later, you heard her footsteps sprinting up the stairs.

"oh my god, hi!" she yelled, running into your arms for a big hug, which you obviously gave her.

"your eyebrows look amazing," you laughed, causing her to smile widely.

once you two turned around, your arm still wrapped around her, jack had a pout on his face.

"aww what's wrong, baby boy?" you asked jokingly.

"i thought i was getting the first hug," he sighed, sticking out his bottom lip. ava playfully rolled her eyes and pried herself away from you, walking into jack's open arms. a huge smile was on his face and his eyes were squinted shut as he hugged her. even though you couldn't see ava's face, you could tell she had the same expression. they really missed each other, understandably of course.

"mom!" jack called out, the realization hitting him that he hadn't yet said hi to his mom. you laughed at him and followed him down the stairs. you smiled at jack and his mom's reunion before having one yourself.

all six of you sat around the living room, talking about everything that you hadn't been able to talk about for the past three months that none of you had seen one another. you and isla were lying on the biggest cushion of the couch, her arms wrapped around your shoulders. jack was holding your free hand tightly while talking to syd and his mom who were sitting in the chairs across from us. ava was lying on the other side of jack, her head on his shoulder.

it was like this for hours. you looked down at one point to see isla sound asleep with her head on your shoulder, her arms strung around your neck. you smiled down at her before looking back up at jack and your smile grew. he was such a family oriented guy and it warmed your heart.

about an hour later and it was 1AM. sydnie, kristen and ava all separated to their own rooms. jack stood up to go make coffee in the kitchen and when he came back, he saw the most beautiful sight. your arms wrapped tightly around isla and hers around you while you were both sleeping peacefully.

he leaned against the wall, just looking at the two of you with pure happiness etched on his face. after a minute or so, he came over to you two and carefully sat down next to you.

he planted a kiss on your temple before falling asleep with his head on your shoulder as well. it was perfect.

a/n: not as fluff as i hoped but oh whale
