Hey there! ❀ First of all, I’n in LOVE with your works, like literally. They are all so beautiful.
I wanted to request HCs for Dazai and Kunikida who have a chubby fem!s/o and they comfort her for her insecurities <3 (If you’re uncomfortable with this, it’s totally OK 💕)
❄ Dazai and Kunikida with an insecure chubby!s/o
Tumblr media Tumblr media
ᮀ/ɮ: heyo, sweetie! Its an honor to know that you like my work, dear; thank you a lot and i hope you enjoy this as well 💕 my apologizes that it’s late, and sorry guys for being inactive lately, hopefully this makes up for it 💘
Tumblr media
DAZAI OSAMU:
Tumblr media
The great dazai osamu has canonically said that he loves all women so rejoice cuties
It doesn’t matter what size, color or anything; he will love you with all his heart <3
Now he tries his best to make sure you know d a m n well that he loves you and that your appearance is beautiful to him
“Belladonna, you are an absolute gorgeous angel (spawn of satan if you are a trouble maker you disobedient human) and you have to know that I wholeheartedly adore and cherish; you are beautiful inside out!”
He will kiss literally all over your body and mutter compliments after each kiss
“You are gorgeous.”
“Beautiful.”
“Mesmerizing.”
“Absolutely breathtaking.”
“These parts of yourself that you see as flaws are treasures to me.”
Dazai will not hesitate to write a diss track to a bitch for your sake
So when this one dumbass from many dumbasses comes up and body-shames you
Dazai is already throwing roasts and comebacks that brought the person to t e a r s
“You remind me of my trauma and it isn’t pretty so if you could please, take yourself out of the door the way my childhood innocence once did that would be delightful.”
“Osamu are you okay?—“
“Yes, my love.”
Okay on a more serious note
He will glare at them and like go with the usual approach with them that consists of that suspicious cheerful attitude of his then proceed to give him a piece of his mind
You know, Dazai will never ask you to change
He will support you no matter what
So like let’s say you are on a diet, and you are determined to lose weight
He will be there to support you and cheer you up
“GOOD JOB MY LOVE! YOU ARE DOING GREAT!”
But will still remind you that you don’t need to if you don’t want toïżŒ
He will get worried sometimes if your weight affects your health negatively
Though, you know your body more than he could, right?
He will always hype you regardless of anything
Also he loves cuddling with you and like nuzzling to you and never letting go
WAIT OH YEAH
If he ever catches you judging yourself in the mirror then he will either just hug you from behind and pepper your neck with kisses with many lines reassurance in between
Or he will throw the mirror out of the window
Yeah, there is no in between
SHIT
IT HIT CHUUYA ON THE HEAD
KUNIKIDA DOPPO:
Tumblr media
KUNIKIDA MY UNDERRATED MAN đŸ„ș
Btw I started playing Tears of Themis
That game is wonderful and the men are immaculate
Anyways
I think Kunikida would love a chubby lover
Don’t ask why
it’s just a feeling
I am really suffering from the worst writer’s block right now đŸ€Ą
Anyways headcanon that he is mostly oblivious to hints of how to be r o m a n t i c
So I don’t think cuddling is quite often, though I believe that he loves hugs like ALOT
Cause like they give this wonderful sense of comfort and reassurance, especially when it comes from you
He does occasionally remind you when he notices you staring too long into the mirror with a pretty gloomy expression that you are perfect to him and that he won’t change a thing about you
Doesn’t break anything though (ïżŁâ–œïżŁ;)
“You are perfect to me, I never thought of you as something less than that.”
I believe that kunikida is quiet the gentle lover despite what he does to um
That thing head first in the trash that atsushi calls his mentor
To support my claim, I can see him just stroking your hair and rubbing your back comfortingly as he assures you how much he loves you for yourself as a person
Now, let’s say there is an obnoxious excuse of a human that dares to say something negative about your body
Kunikida’s glare is scary
To be honest, I don’t think anyone would like to be on the receiving end
And so, in addition to that glare of his, he will insult them respectfully
Like the following:
“With all due respect, I don’t think you are in a place to talk; in addition, she is a wonderful looking person and at least doesn’t reek of filth and alcohol.”
wItH aLl DuE rEsPeCt
So ye
Most of the time, his aura is quite intimidating so the majority of people avoid insulting him or who he companies
Once again, if he also sees that your weight is affecting your health and damaging it, then he will cautiously bring up the topic
He doesn’t want to hurt you but he doesn’t want to see you struggle with anything
If you feel comfortable with how you are then he won’t talk about it anymore
Kunikida will still be by your side and support you through whatever choice you choose
He will hype you very very v e r y
âœšđ‘†đ‘ˆđ”đ‘‡đżđ‘Œâœš
“You look great today.”
“The outfit compliments your body well.”
“It suits you, so don’t fret about it; I would never lie to you.”
He empathizes with how you feel, and is always by your side to reassure you; he knows how the mind can be a nightmare for its owner
THEREFORE HE IS ALWAYS THERE AND IF YOU ever EVER THINK HE WILL LET YOU FORGET HOW MUCH HE LOVES YOU THEN YOU ARE WRONG
sorry I got carried away
also guess who managed to spill hot coffee on her hands
Me 😌
ANYWAYS BYE

Helpless ||G.W
Chapter 3: Your Best Friend
Tumblr media
Series Masterlist
A/n: another short one! Im sorry lol. Let me know if you would like to be added to the taglist!
93 Diagon Alley, London
June 15th, 1996
Y/n,
It’s me your favorite twin. Nah, not really but I assumed you already knew that. George and I both miss you. Though I think poor Georgie might die If we don’t hear from you soon. He said he wrote you back but you never responded. I don’t exactly know if that’s true but I’ve never considered George one to lie. Poor letter probably got lost, George has got this new owl, it’s quite a strange little creature. She’s probably smaller than Ron’s owl Pigwidgen and quite the little trouble maker. Last week she knocked a whole display of snakbox’s off the shelf. I have no idea how since she probably weighs less than a piece of paper, but alas. George of course defended her to his dying breath.
Anyway, George and I would like to invite you to stay with us at the shop for a few days after graduation. It would be good to see some familiar faces. I’ve tried to invite Lee and Angelina but Lee is “super busy with adulting” and Ange says that she is starting her apprenticeship at St. Mongos as soon as she graduates. But I know you won’t be able to resist. I’m sure you’re just heartbroken now that you can’t see me and my devilish good looks every day. I always was the more attractive twin. Can’t wait to hear from you. George says hi.
Your Best Friend,
Fred
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
June 17th, 1996
Freddie,
I hope this letter makes it to you well. Especially after hearing that george’s letter had gone missing. I would love to come visit you but I’m not sure that it is the best idea. I don’t know. Would you laugh at me if I said i’m scared to be around George? I know we agreed that we were still going to be friends, and believe me i’ve missed you both since you left, but I won’t lie and say that this distance hasn’t made things easier. Oh, merlin I hope you don’t let him read this. Promise me you won’t? The thing is, I’m still hurt. And I need to get over him. And I don’t know how. Sometimes I still wish I had never told him. Then we could all be normal. Things were supposed to go back to normal but I’m not sure they ever can. I love him. He doesn’t love me. How am I supposed to get over that? I don’t know, I’m probably being dramatic. I guess tell George I said hi, and that I have to think about it.
Your Best Friend,
Y/n

End of the year favorites 2021!
------------------------------------------
GREETINGS
------------------------------------------
December 19/ 2021
Welcome to the end of the year favorites, this will be the last of the monthly favorites this year!
Thank you for everyone that has found these interesting and have been reading them, it really makes me happy to be able to share some really good stories with all of you.
I know that some of you are actually reading some of my recommendations and I’m happy that you took a chance and discovered something new. I really think that the webtoon manhwa is too new in the market to be anything well known so I want to do my best and promote some of the stories that deserves the recognition.
For my last exam, before I left they had to test me on mental math and that is the last thing you want to do when you’ve had one exam after another with 9 courses...so I was exhausted as you can tell and nearly screamed out loud. Lol. Anyways! I’m donnneeeeee!!!
I finally have my break from school so I will start pumping out new art soon, I can’t believe I didn’t have the slightest time to start anything for 4 months but I tried my best to keep up with writing the monthly favorites, it was the only thing that got me through everything ïżœïżœïżœhard” that had been happening in my life.
It is almost Christmas soon and I still have not gone Christmas shopping for gifts yet! I hope all of you got your shopping done in time for the holidays! This last week will be good for me to hopefully get everything on time. Wish me luck!
Sheena
Tumblr media
None, but i’ll be catching up on awards shows like MAMA and melon awards and others,
And I’ll maybe be watching squid game and Alice in borderland finally now that I have time...
Omg I can’t wait
All I have been watching is youtube, try guys without a recipe, my friend and I want to try making something without a recipe just for fun.
Tumblr media
Recap:
I’m just going to put up the ongoing list only.
Ongoing  
whose baby is it?
Social temperature
Salad days
To be or not to be
Semantic Error
My Suha
Turn off the camera
Murderous lewellyn candlelit dinner
Pearl boy
The third ending

Updates on ongoing titles:
The only update I have...because I am stuck and I can’t move on ...LOL.
Pearl boy:
So it finally updated again and um....Kang dooshik, I’m not a simp for anyone but I’ll be your simp forever lol. Remember back half a year ago when I mentioned that he keeps looking better in every chapter...still holds true by the way. He’s literally radiating sexy energy in every chapter...I can’t.
I mean ...look at this hunky man ...damn...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I’m sorry I’ll stop.lol.
This week’s update is going to stick in my mind the entire week, it was so disgustingly sweet, it was all I was thinking about yesterday, dooshik is like a walking juke box playing lyrics from 90’s love songs every time he speaks and I’m here for it!
You can play any slow song for this chapter and you will be so satisfied. Let’s just say some stuff happened and there was a time skip of three months and I noticed that people thought that because of what happened to dooshik, his personality will change and he will probably become violent and cruel. I’m so glad that although he seems more careful when dealing with people now he is still dooshik the dork at his core...meaning his core values and personality still remains the same despite acting and looking more mature now. I love how his core character remains the same and he didn’t become violent and cold when he was able to meet juha again, thank you to the creator for not making him go that route...I swear a lot of characters do a 180 out of nowhere and it throws me off, those characters never stick with me and are often trash in the end regardless of what they do from then on. There was also mention from another character that was spying on dooshik that he had become really scary so I guess most people assume that he became a cold person.
Not that I wouldn’t understand why in his case, but still he is just too good of a character to follow that route, that’s why I’m always boasting about him, it’s cause he is a really well written character that I have not come across in a very long time. He’s been so consistent while other characters just plummet into the abyss of sh*t. I cannot say enough good things about these characters and this series, it’s so well thought out when it comes to character portrayals. 
This may be a bit of a spoiler, but um...when he said to juha “undress me yourself ...” and he placed his hands on his chest...ah I started turning red for some reason ...lol. My sister was like what happened to your face? Lmao I don’t know why I felt all the blood rush to my face.
Tumblr media
Anyways, degeneracy aside, I know this light-hearted happiness will be short lived so I’ll just enjoy this chapter and next for a while before things take a turn for the worse ...cause it’s pearl boy ...the most anxiety inducing manhwa you’ll ever read.....give it a try!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to Heaven (21+)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1)      Seeing Double
Tumblr media
“Ohn can’t stand men, and he’s determined to stay away from them at all costs. Little does he know that the shy, soft-spoken Seo-woo is crushing on him hard. So hard, in fact, that he’s recruited his more confident twin brother, Jae-woo, to act as his double and approach Ohn. But as Jae-woo starts putting a little too much of his own heart into the act, the line between who’s courting Ohn gets blurred. Will the brothers break through Ohn’s hatred of men? And if so, which twin will be the one to win Ohn’s heart?
I have seen this all over my twitter a while ago and it didn’t really interest me at all. Not only is it a love triangle which I don’t care for but also with twins...I’m like oh boy...this is going to go well.
But I had some time and I actually was able to try this manhwa out...let me just say...I was unexpectedly surprised.
It is about a guy who does not like guys and finds comfort in being around women, it is really funny because I swear there is a similar shojou manga I have read before with a similar plot line but that was a dumpster fire. So basically ohn likes being around women and prefers to be around them versus men. I believe he is a teacher at the school, I thought he was a student but I’m not sure on this part. But he caught the eye of a soft spoken sweet boy named seowoo , whom in the past witnessed ohn being bullied and was inspired by him to stand up for himself and not let others bully them. Hense leading to the ongoing massive crush he has on ohn. Seowoo despite being tall and bulky he is incredibly shy and even if he wanted to be friends with ohn he didn’t know how to approach him. Instead he ropes his twin brother in and asks for his help in pursuing ohn. His brother had interacted with ohn a couple times while going to sports practice and it didn’t go well since he was blunt and harsh and ohn didn’t like guys so there was immediately animosity from him. Jaewoo didn’t really have anything to do so he thought being a good brother would require him to help out his twin so he agreed.  
So of course he approached him as “seowoo” and the two of them didn’t get along well at first but that soon wasn’t the case, not because of jaewoo, I think it was because of seowoo. So despite seowoo being shy to approach ohn, he still followed his brother and watch them interact from a distance, probably imagining that if he was more courageous it would be like that..ahh poor baby.
Seowoo was going to leave a drink he bought for ohn at his work desk and just leave but at that time ohn showed up out of nowhere and asked what he was doing and the poor baby froze on the spot.
And while ohn approached he noticed seowoo blushing and turning shy and red for some reason and in that respect made ohn’s expression soften as if he witnessed a different side to “seowoo” this made him interested.
While jaewoo was also getting ohn something to drink he didn’t realize that seowoo had made contact with ohn on his own. After wards jaewoo continued to pretend to be “seowoo” while getting to known ohn, which would be cute if you like the other twin, but I personally like seowoo.
Ohn and jaewoo became good friends and there was one chapter where jaewoo took him to his club activities but ohn was still uncomfortable with men so he hid as soon as a bunch of sweaty guys came into the swimming pool. Seowoo was in the same club and was hiding because jaewoo said ohn was coming and they didn’t want to be caught. But jaewoo went to take a call or something and left ohn by himself and ohn ran into the boys changing room to avoid the other boys. And of course coincidently met seowoo in there...he still thinks this seowoo is “seowoo” and asked where he went and clung onto him because he was scared. Seowoo was taken back and tried his best to comfort ohn with his shy demeanor. Ohn noticed that he was acting different again, but as soon as they talked things just clicked and ohn felt more comfortable being around him since seowoo actually shared his fears of being bullied once by a lot of boys and he understands why ohn would be scared. This is a really defining moment of  their relationship because ohn and seowoo were being honest with each other and sharing personal things.
Later ohn and seowoo met a couple more times and even drank together, jaewoo of course was also starting to catch feelings for ohn while hanging out with him, and eventually still had to play “seowoo” because there can’t be two seowoos. But I forgot to mention that everyone knows the twins, ohn knows jaewoo had a twin...so when jaewoo disguised as “seowoo” and approached him he thought he was the other brother, but it was just jaewoo. I hope that makes sense...I know it’s freaken confusing as sh*t.
Later on seowoo wanted to fight for ohn’s affection in his own way because his brother was being an absolute dick and tried ruining things for seowoo. So he courageously went to go meet with ohn to go see a movie together and even kissed him. It was really cute not going to lie. Of course jaewoo isn’t giving up so more drama between the two siblings led to seowoo needing to be introduced as “jaewoo” because he didn’t want to leave the real jaewoo and ohn to be alone together.  Even when “seowoo” was there and they had a thing, ohn kept paying attention to “jaewoo”  and wondered why he was looking at the other brother all the time, the real jaewoo noticed this and started to be concerned.
Well some things happened and seowoo , jaewoo and ohn had a sleep over in which ohn having  wet dream about seowoo , which made him act impulsively and actually kissing jaewoo while being half asleep...but remember that jaewoo is being “seowoo” so when seowoo actually came out the bathroom to see that... this broke my poor baby’s heart, and to be honest it was really scumy of jaewoo...cause he was like I tld you he liked me...bull sh*t I’m like wtf ...he’s your brother, there are lines you shouldn’t cross, unless you are a dick, which he is ...so whatever. In the end they were both caught red handed while the twins were fighting, ohn over heard them and they were exposed. That’s where season 1 left off, If you want my opinion I believe in the end seowoo and ohn will be together, just cause of all the hints that are pointing to seowoo as the person ohn was most interested in. Even without knowing that he was talking to the real seowoo, he really showed him a lot of his vulnerability and seeing seowoo become this shy and sweet guy while they interact makes him feel really comfortable around him. So I am somewhat convinced seowoo and ohn as the end game, but you know the author can just pull a 180 like most authors like to do...in that case I’d be disappointed cause I’m sick of all these rude ass protagonists winning, they suck. I also thought that twins were supposed to be in sync and have a stronger bond than most siblings, but I guess not.
Give this a read, if you like my other suggestions you will probably like this one. You can read this on lezhin.
2)      Dear door
Tumblr media
“After the loss of his fiancĂ©e, police officer Kyungjoon resigned himself to a life of watering his house plants and catching two-bit criminals. But after a police investigation into a mysterious cult goes supernatural, he finds himself face-to-face with “Lord Cain,” a demon king in desperate need of mana in order to survive. Good news: Kyungjoon’s body serves as a “door” through which Cain can enter Hell and restore his mana. Bad news: the method of opening that door is
 not so safe for work...”
This manhwa’s art style is really interesting, it has that shounen manga type of animation that you wouldn’t think you’d be reading BL. It started off with a cop named kyungjoon investigating a bunch of murders happening around the area that was raising concerns among the public and the officers.
Kyungjoon had lost his fiancĂ© a while ago and was left with only her memories and a house that was completely empty. While tending the plants that his fiancĂ© left behind on a stormy night he met a creature that rushed into his apartment and threatened to kill him if he doesn’t cooperate.
The creature was the lord of the underworld named “cain” and he was looking for a way to restore his magic so he can go back into the underworld. He set his sights on kyungjoon and made him his “door” to go back to hell. at first he only served as a way to get back to hell, and the only way to do that was to um....have sex with him until he...ah...you know...
Manhwa authors...wtf is going on in your head sometimes? Anyways, that’s the way it is supposed to happen and cain really didn’t care much for kyungjoon until later when kyungjoon wanted the mystery murders to stop and cain may know of a lead and in exchange for that information cain can go to and from hell whenever. It was strictly business until kyungjoon made it a point that cain could be more gentle when they are together instead of rushing into things and so he took that suggestion and let’s just say kyungjoon liked it very much while cain was gentle and started making out with him.
Cain didn’t understand what he was feeling but he knew he liked being with kyungjoon, but later on kyungjoon was being put in danger since people were after cain and so cain had to leave him, and this made kyungjoon really upset since his fiance died he had nothing to fill that space, when cain showed up it was like he was whole again. This shows that people deal with loss in different ways and some people can stay hurt forever and not forgive themselves, or you can find that strength to move on somehow and kyungjoon was not doing so well after his fiancĂ© died, not even his closest friend could be there for him. But kyungjoon is a character that isn’t like the damsel in distress type and actually puts up a fight.
I think that is what i like the most about this story.
But those sex scenes...lmao they are like a damn shounen manga fight, so intense, I’m like wtf am I reading right now? It is really action packed though, every panel is very intense.
I’ve only just started this so i don’t really have that much to say about it except the romance between cain and kyungjoon are really cute and endearing. Especially since cain is a creature that doesn’t understand what love is but he feels happy when he is with kyungjoon. And just watching him try to sort out his feelings is really funny. I think this is a manhwa that portrays comedy and sadness really well.
Please give this a read if you like action BL...i guess. Lol. You can read this on tapas.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Trash segment (21+)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
a.k.a the part of the series where I shit on your favorite manhwa/manga/webtoon etc. Joking but not really, you have been warned.
This is the new section where you’re going to find titles that I dropped and the reasons why I discontinued the series all together, fair warning if you triggered by people criticizing your favorite series then you may want to skip this section all together. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and not every series that is “popular” or well liked by others will be like by all...therefore if there is content that makes a person uncomfortable enough to stop the series, that is on them and please don’t judge them for their morals.
So to recap, the series that I mentioned dropping so far are
Love or Hate
Yours to claim
Wistful summer
Anti-p.t.
The sound of fire
Kiss damnation
Cherry blossoms after the winter
Chasing Mr. CEO
Okay, I do have one to share but let me just say I’m not going to drop it yet...but this one scene bothered me quite a lot and I want to rant about it...
Passion
Tumblr media
“The shadow of the genius Jeong Jae-ui of the century, who said that even his luck smiled at him, and the twin, Jeong Tae-eui, were extremely ordinary soldiers except for sexual orientation. After being discharged from the military due to an injustice, one day, his uncle Jeong Chang-in made an invitation rather than a recommendation to him, who was enjoying his life as an unemployed person. Jung Tae-eui, who has been assigned to the Asian branch of UNHRDO Jung, who has been working as an agent for half a year at UNHRDO, the United Nations Human Resource Development Organization, which his uncle has in his body, adapts to UNHRDO without difficulty with his unique knuckle and positive personality in an unfamiliar environment. , Having a flirtatious encounter with his ideal type,'Ling Shinru', leads his own happy life. One day, Jung Tae-eui, who was idle in his uncle's accommodation, unexpectedly receives a call from his uncle, and encounters Ilay Riglow, a man with fine hands on the screen.”
If you know this manhwa then you know that there is a particular scene in which one of the main protagonists has this boyfriend and that dude was caught having sex with that protagonist’s rival. I need to start using names because none of that would make sense, but I’ll wait to talk about it later either as a dropped series or a fav series depending on how this ends.
But that scene bothered me because if you caught your boyfriend/girlfriend sleeping with another person you would not just walk away and not say anything, it could be that he was too shocked to really say anything...but that rival dude was like looking at him as if saying “yeah you caught us...what are going to do about it?”
This could just be because I’m petty but I would go right inside that room and expose them. Tell that rival dude “you can have that SOB...I’m done with him” perfect way to break it off with your cheating ex and embarrass him and the rival. Cause I would not be satisfied with walking away and ignoring what I just saw...lol. So that part infuriated me a lot. Also both the dudes that were having sex didn’t even like each other, the dumb boyfriend and rival both liked the protagonist, they were just trying to keep the other away from the protagonist..by sleeping with each other as a trade off...I’m like what is the point? You should just pursue him instead of doing all this shit. Shake my head ...I don’t get it.lol. It was a good series up until this point and now I’m on the verge of chucking this away in the trash pile.
While some people argue that they aren’t official so it doesn’t matter if he has sex with another dude or not, well they are seeing each other and even so what makes a couple official just saying they like each other? Having sex ?
Doesn’t matter...they have something with each other and if I was seeing them then I would assume that we are together. I would still be upset if they slept with another person while seeing me...that’s still cheating.
How is this even an argument with people? I don’t get it.
side note, also thinking of dropping secret relationships...I don’t like where its going right now, ugh i can’t deal with how messed up these people are.lol.
Tumblr media
I didn’t start another anime but I got my friend into watching death note.lol. I was surprised she like it a lot. She does not watch anime at all but I showed her death note while we were having our paint night and she is almost finished now.
Always show death note as a gateway anime...this proves it works.lol.
Tumblr media
None
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Coffee Encounters
Tumblr media
Pairing: Spencer Reid x Gideon!Reader
Summary:  When (Y/N) spills a coffee on Spencer Reid, he doesn't expect her to become a huge part of his life.
Warnings: Mutual Pining, Angst, Implied Sexual Content, Implied/Referenced Substance Abuse, Criminal Minds-Typical Violence
Word Count: 4,481
A/N: My first tumblr-published fic in a WHILE! I’m rewriting my tag list, so if you want to be tagged, message me!
“What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?”
- Vincent Van Gogh
The coffee shop was filled with people rushing to get their caffeine fix before work. You turned around and spilled your iced caramel mocha all over a tall, lanky man in an oversized sweater vest behind you.
“Oh, my gosh, I’m so sorry!” you said, rushing to grab napkins. “I am so, so sorry!”
“It’s fine,” the man assured you, taking the napkins you offered him. “I probably would have spilled coffee on myself at work today anyway.”
“Still, I’m so sorry. I-I have uh, an interview today and I’m seeing my dad for the first time in a while so I’m pretty nervous, and when I get nervous, I get super clumsy.” You awkwardly held your hand out to him. “I’m (Y/N).”
“Spencer,” he said. “Sorry, I have a, uh, germ thing.”
“Let me buy you your coffee,” you offered. “It’s the least I can do after spilling mine all over you.”
~
Spencer ran through the bullpen up to the conference room. He threw his satchel down on the floor next to his chair before flopping into it.
“You’re late,” Hotch said, not looking up from the paper in front of him.
“I know,” Spencer said, breathlessly. “I know, I’m sorry.”
“Well, now that you’re here, we can get started.”
The team, of course, noticed the change in Spencer’s behavior. Morgan decided to be the one to ask about it.
“Okay, what’s her name?” he asked, rolling his chair over to Reid’s desk.
“What are you talking about?”
“You haven’t stopped smiling all day. Even after Hotch stuck you with more paperwork and told us we’d have to stay late tonight. So, who is she?”
Spencer smiled down at his desk. “I met her at the coffee shop this morning. Her name’s-”
“(Y/N)!”
Spencer looked up to see you running towards Gideon.
“Dad!”
Spencer’s jaw dropped when he saw Gideon wrap you in a hug. “How are you, Pumpkin? How was the interview?”
“Uh, I’m not sure. You know how I get when I’m nervous. And I kept thinking about how I haven’t seen you in years and-”
“(Y/N/N), take a breath. You’re rambling.”
“Right. Right.” You exaggerated your exhale. “I’m good.”
“Come on, let’s go to my office. You can tell me about your interview.”
When you followed Gideon up the stairs, Morgan turned back to Spencer.
“That’s her?” Spencer nodded, still in shock. “Oh, Pretty Boy,” Morgan laughed, “what did you get yourself into?”
Spencer was asking himself that same question.
~
“So, tell me about the job interview. Was it really as bad as you thought?”
“I don’t know,” you sighed. “I got all nervous and jumpy, my hands were all sweaty. You know how I get when I’m nervous. I walked into a scarecrow decoration they had in the hallway.” Your father pursed his lips, obviously trying to hold back a laugh. You sighed. “Go ahead.”
“What? No, I’m not laughing!”
“Dad, I love you, but you’re a terrible liar.”
“Come on,” he said, getting up from his desk, still chuckling. “I’ll introduce you to the team.”
You followed your father out of his office. The team was gathered in the bullpen.
“Guys, this is my daughter, (Y/N) Gideon.”
“It’s nice to see you again, (Y/N),” Aaron Hotchner said, shaking your hand.
“You too, Aaron.”
“This is Agent Jareau,” Gideon said, gesturing to JJ. “And Agent Morgan.”
“It’s nice to meet you,” the man said, shaking your hand.
“This is Agent Greenaway,” Gideon said, introducing you to the rest of the team. “Dr. Reid, and Penelope Garcia, our technical analyst.”
“So, what was it like growing up as Gideon’s daughter?” Penelope asked you.
“Oh, you know, it was like any other girl growing up with an overprotective father,” you said. “I was in self-defense classes since I was 3, I wasn’t allowed to go anywhere alone until I was 17, my older brother hogged the bathroom in the morning, and when I started dating, I couldn’t go out with a guy until Dad profiled him.”
“Ooh, that’s rough,” Agent Greenaway said. “How did you deal with that?”
You shrugged. “I was a teenager, and Dad was almost always away for work.” Your dad looked at you. “I mean, I was a perfect angel who never did anything wrong.”
“Yeah, nice try, kiddo,” Gideon said. “We’re gonna talk about that at dinner. Speaking of which, ready to go?”
“Sure, I haven’t eaten all day.”
After you and Gideon left, Morgan turned to Reid.
“So, Gideon’s daughter.”
“Shut up, Morgan,” Spencer muttered, his face red.
~
When Jason came back from his last case, he noticed that you weren’t there. You’d been staying with him until you heard more about the job. Jason thought for a moment before smiling to himself and heading back out.
“Thought I might find you here,” Jason said, sitting next to you on the grass.
You were sitting in front of a gravestone, a vase of fresh flowers on the grass. You brushed your hand over the lettering on the marker. ”I got the job.”
“Well, that’s great!”
“I guess,” you shrugged. “Is it- is it weird that I feel guilty if I don’t visit when I’m in the area?” You smiled, tracing your finger over the name. “I feel like, if I don’t visit, Mom’s yelling at me from beyond.”
Jason smiled. “It’s not weird at all. Especially since you were so young when we lost her.”
You sighed, letting your hand fall back to your side. “Do you think she’s proud of me?”
Jason was shocked by your question. “Of course she is,” he told you. “She’d be so proud of you, pumpkin.”
“Even though I broke my promise to her?” you whispered. “I promised I’d find a cure so no one would have to suffer like she did.”
“(Y/N),” your father sighed, “you were barely 15 when she died. She never expected you to keep that promise.” He nudged your shoulder. “Besides, she’d love that you’re dedicating your life to teaching kids.”
“You think so?”
“I know so. I’m your dad, I know everything.”
You laughed, leaning your head on his shoulder.
~
You settled into the DC area well. You’d become best friends with Penelope Garcia, and you grew closer to the rest of your dad’s team. Even though you weren’t part of the BAU, you were family.
You grew even closer to Spencer, too. Penelope, despite not being a profiler, could tell there was something up. She noticed the glances you’d give him when he wasn’t looking, and vice-versa.
“So, what’s going on with you and Reid?” she asked you over your Saturday morning coffees.
“What are you talking about, Pen?”
“Oh, come on! I see the way you look at him.”
“Wha- the way I look at him?”
“Yeah, you look at him like you’re ready to have his babies.”
“ Penelope! ”
~
The team was in Florida, getting deathbed interviews from Sarah Jean and Jacob Dawes. Gideon was sent in to interview Sarah Jean.
“Do you have children, Agent Gideon?” she asked him.
“It’s irrelevant,” he told her.
“Is it?”
While Hotch interviewed Jacob, Gideon and Reid were looking over the interview with Sarah Jean, looking for anything that might grant her a stay of execution. After some discussion with the team, Gideon headed back in to talk to Sarah Jean.
“Does the strain of your work affect your marriage?” Sarah Jean asked him.
“I’m not married.”
“You wear a ring.”
Jason rubbed the wedding band he still wore with his thumb. “Why would you still be protecting Jacob?” he decided to ask.
“Did you divorce because of putting people like me away?”
“I think you’re innocent,” Jason told her.
“We’re all guilty of something. But it’s
 our children who suffer for our sins, isn’t it?”
“You’d have to ask them.”
“How old are they?” she asked.
“27 and 24,” Jason said with a smile.
Sarah Jean smiled. “Do you have pictures of them?” she asked.
“In my office. One of my son, one of my daughter.”
“You don’t carry them with you?”
“No.”
“To protect them. Tell me, Agent Gideon, does this job make you worry about your daughter?”
He nodded. “Every day.”
“Is there anything you wouldn’t do for your children, Agent Gideon?”
He shook his head. “Absolutely nothing.”
~
Spencer was pouring sugar into his coffee when he heard you and Garcia laughing. He turned to see the two of you talking in the doorway.
“Oh, before I forget to ask,” you said, “can you come in on Wednesday as a guest reader?”
“I’d love to!” Penelope said. “I’d love to read to those little angels!”
You smiled and adjusted the bag on your shoulder. “Great! I’ll see you tomorrow morning for coffee?”
“Of course.”
You waved towards Gideon’s office before ducking out of the BAU.
Elle came up to the coffee maker and poured herself a mug. “Why don’t you just ask her out?”
“I can’t do that,” he said, sipping his overly-sweetened coffee.
“Why not? It’s obvious you like her.”
“She’s Gideon’s daughter , Elle. I can’t ask her out.”
“Oh, I get it,” she said, stirring milk into her coffee. “You’re afraid Gideon wouldn’t approve of you dating his little girl.” She tossed the coffee stir into the trash and took a sip of her coffee. “If it’s any consolation, I think if he were to approve of anyone for (Y/N), it would be you.”
“You think?”
“The man loves you, Reid,” she told him. “Plus, you’re just as awkward and dorky as she is, you’re a good match.”
~
Spencer sat at his desk, with only his lamp to light the bullpen. A tabloid magazine sat on top of his case file.
“Hey Reid, you’re lucky they didn’t get a shot of you next to the pool trying to draw your gun. You looked like a drowned rat,” Morgan laughed.
Spencer chewed his lip for a moment. “Did you know that, um, she, uh- I kissed her? In the pool? It’s so weird. It doesn’t even feel like it really happened, you know?”
“Sure. She’s a beautiful young actress.”
“Yeah, but
” he paused, looking at the cover of the magazine, “it didn’t feel right. I felt guilty, almost. I felt like I was crossing professional boundaries.”
“Look, some things you can’t control, even with that big ol’ brain of yours,” Morgan told him with a smile.
Spencer was silent while Morgan put on his jacket. “Hey Morgan? Has there ever been a girl you just
 couldn’t get out of your mind, no matter how hard you try? Even when another girl is kissing you?”
“I can’t say I have,” Morgan said. “But if this girl is so heavy on your mind, you should see where it goes.”
“So, you think I should call her?”
“I don’t know, Reid. But I do know you don’t have to decide tonight. I’ll see you Monday, okay, kid?”
“Yeah. Have a good weekend, Morgan.” He sat at his desk, looking at the tabloid. He sighed and threw the magazine in his trash can.
~
Of course, you’d seen the tabloids. You were out grocery shopping when you saw the pictures. You picked up the magazine and scoffed.
“It’s crazy how they invade celebrities’ lives, isn’t it?” the old woman in line behind you said. “That poor boy was probably just at the wrong place at the wrong time.”
“Yeah,” you said, putting the tabloid back on the rack. “It’s crazy.”
The next day at work, one of your coworkers came up to you while you were cleaning paint off the tables.
“So, should we talk about how your boyfriend is supposedly dating a tv star?”
Your face heated up. “He’s not my boyfriend, Hannah. He’s my dad’s coworker.” You heard one of the kids start crying. “Oh, Joshie’s crying again. Maybe you should go find out what happened.”
When the last kid was finally picked up by his grandmother, you were exhausted. But you still had to clean up the classroom. You sighed and started picking up the pretend food and sorting it into the proper baskets.
“Night, (Y/N),” your coworker said.
“Night, Ronnie. See you tomorrow.” You hung the costumes back on the hangers and put them back on the rack when someone knocked on the door. When you looked up, you saw Spencer standing in the doorway, his hands fidgeting.
“Oh, hey, it’s Lila Archer’s secret boyfriend!” you said, pushing up from the floor.
“Please tell me you didn’t buy into those pictures.”
“Well, you know what they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.”
He walked over to where you were gathering stuffed animals and helped you collect them. “It wasn’t what they made it look like,” he said. “She was attracted to me, but it was just transference.” He rubbed the back of his hand, his eyes looking down at the roadmap carpet. “And she isn’t the girl I like.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. Lila didn’t make my heart rate speed up just by smiling at me like she does.” Spencer’s eyes were shining as he talked.
“What else do you like about this girl?” you asked him.
“She’s smart, she’s caring, she listens to me when I ramble on about random facts.” He smiled and looked at you. “She’s one of the only people in the world that calls me Spence. And she’s super clumsy when she gets nervous.” He shoved his hands in his pockets. “You’re the one I want to be with (Y/N). You’re the one I can’t stop thinking about.”
“Damn, girl, if you don’t take him, I will!” Hannah said from the doorway, making you both blush.
“Go home, Hannah,” you said.
“Okay, okay, I’m just saying.”
Spencer chuckled, looking down at his Converse.
“You know, I like you too, Spence.”
Spencer’s face lit up. He grabbed the sides of your face and kissed you. When he pulled away, his face was red.
“I-I’m sorry, I don’t know what I was thin-”
“Spencer, shut up,” you said, grabbing his tie and pulling him in to kiss you again.
~
“Guys, conference room. Now,” Hotch said, walking through the bullpen.
Morgan pushed up from his desk, walking up the stairs next to Garcia. “Is it just me, or has Reid been weird around Gideon today?”
“Oh, no, he is,” she said. “He and (Y/N) kissed last night.”
“Wait, so Reid and (Y/N) kissed?”
“Yep.”
“And Gideon doesn’t know?”
“Nope.”
“So everything he’s saying is making Reid uncomfortable?”
“Yep.”
“Should we exploit this?”
“Definitely.”
After everyone settled into the room, JJ started her presentation of the case, with the help of Gideon and Hotch.
“Uh, Gideon,” Morgan said, “When the plane kisses down on the air strip, do you want me to go to the scene with you?”
Spencer’s eyes widened as Gideon looked over Morgan. “Uh, weird way to ask that, but yeah. You, me, and Reid will visit the scene.”
“Do you think we can make out any information from the victims?” Garcia asked.
“Guys, what’s going on?” Hotch asked.
“Nothing!” Spencer said. “Can we just get to the jet?”
Hotch eyed Spencer suspiciously before saying, “Wheels up in 30.”
~
You’d heard about Elle, of course. You’d heard about her injury, investigation, and resignation. Spencer was shaken up about her leaving.
The team was bunkered down at the office when you stopped in with some coffees.
“Excuse me,” you said to the dark-haired woman standing by the printer, “is Agent Gideon in?”
“Yeah, were you meeting with him for this case?”
You laughed. “No. No, I’m his daughter. I’m (Y/N).” You shifted the coffee in your hands to shake hers.
“Emily Prentiss.”
“Oh, you’re the new agent. Dad mentioned there was a new transfer.”
“Well, he should be up in his office,” Agent Prentiss told you.
“Thank you, Agent Prentiss.”
“Please, call me Emily.”
You smiled before climbing the steps to your father’s office. You knocked on the door, waiting for him to answer.
“Come in.” You pushed the door open to find your dad at his desk, his glasses perched on his nose as he filled out paperwork.
“I brought you a coffee,” you said, setting the cup on his desk.
“Thank you,” he said, pulling the hot cup closer to him.
“And I made you some meals for when I go away.”
“(Y/N), you didn’t have to-”
“Dad, you know what the doctor said. Your blood pressure is way too high, and I know you won’t stop this job. The least you can do is stop eating so much takeout.”
“(Y/N)-”
“Dad, I’m serious. I don’t want you dying before you have the chance to walk me down the aisle. At least eat them when you’re home?”
He sighed. “Okay. Alright. What time does your flight leave again?”
“Five in the morning,” you said.
“You’ll call me when you land?”
“Of course, Dad,” you promised.
“Good. Tell Miranda I say congratulations.”
“I will,” you said. “I’m gonna go deliver these coffees to Penelope and Spencer.” You walked out of his office, closing the door behind you. You walked into the BatCave, setting the mocha frappuccino on her desk. “Last coffee before I go to Maine,” you said, sitting in Penelope’s spare chair.
“You better show me those wedding pictures, you know I love weddings,” she said, sipping her coffee. “Are you gonna talk to Reid before you go?”
“Sure, I have to give him his coffee.”
“No, (Y/N), are you going to talk to him about the kiss? It’s been months and you two still haven’t talked about it.”
“Hey, it’s not my fault you guys are always on a case.”
“Garcia, conference room,” JJ said, poking her head into the office.
“Speaking of,” you sighed. “I’ll see you when I get back, Pen.”
Before you left the BAU, you left Spencer’s coffee on his desk, a sticky note with a smiley face on top of the lid.
~
“ Hey, Dad, it’s me, ” you said on your message to Jason, “ I got sent straight to voicemail so I’m guessing that means you’re on the jet. I’m just calling to let you know my flight got delayed. There’s a huge storm so the plane is grounded until it’s over. I’ll be home as soon as I can. Love you, bye. ”
“You okay?” Hotch asked when Gideon slipped his phone back into his pocket.
“Yeah. (Y/N) just left a message, apparently it’s storming so her flight is delayed.” He rubbed the bridge of his nose. “Are we any closer to finding Reid?”
“No. But Garcia found a way for us to get a video to him . We can let him know we’re looking for him.”
~
Spencer was struggling. He could feel the little glass bottles in his pocket, and he was itching for them.
“Hey, Spence!” you said, your bubbly voice shocking him as you set a cup of coffee on his desk.
“What’s this?”
“Dad said the last couple of cases were hard on you guys, I thought you might want a pick-me-up.”
He pushed the coffee towards the back of his desk. “I’m fine.”
“Spencer, what’s going on? You never turn down free coffee from Winnifred’s. Are you feeling okay?”
“I’m fine, okay?” he snapped. “Just leave me alone.”
When he saw your face, he knew he fucked up. “Fine. When the Spencer I know gets back, let me know. Goodbye, Dr. Reid.” You walked out of the BAU, brushing passed Hotch and Morgan as they came from the break room.
“What was that about?” Morgan asked.
“Nothing,” Spencer said, pushing up from his desk and walking away from the two.
When you hadn’t visited the office for a few weeks, the team knew something was off. While Morgan talked to Reid, Gideon went to your apartment to talk to you.
“Hey, Dad,” you said when you opened the door. “What’s up?”
“I was gonna ask you the same thing,” he said. “You haven’t visited in weeks.”
“I’ve been busy,” you said, getting a bottle of water and offering it to your father. “Mack wants me to get my Masters, she said I’d be a good academic director.”
“That’s not the reason,” he said, taking a sip of the water. “What happened between you and Reid?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Come on, (Y/N), I’m your dad. I know you have feelings for each other.” Your face turned red and you looked down at your feet. “You’re a grown woman, (Y/N). You don’t need my permission to date anymore. But if you do want my opinion, I think you and Spencer would be a great match.”
“You think?”
“Yeah, I do. Now, what happened?”
You sighed, flopping onto your old, worn out couch. “You’d all been so busy lately, so I decided to bring him coffee from our favorite shop. But he was, he was acting different . And not a good different. When I tried asking him what was wrong, he got all defensive and he lashed out at me. So I told him that when the Spencer I know gets back, he could let me know.”
“Well, I’m not sure that’s going to happen,” Jason said.
“What do you mean?”
Your father sighed, setting the bottle on the old trunk you used as a coffee table. “On one of our cases, he got kidnapped.”
“Oh, my god,” you said, covering your mouth with your hand. “Oh, Spence. No wonder he was different.”
“He needs you to be there for him, even if he doesn’t think he does.” Jason’s phone started ringing. He sighed when he saw the caller ID. “I gotta go. Oh, but before I forget,” he pulled a disk out of his jacket and handed it to you, “happy birthday.”
“What’s this?”
“I don’t know how long this case is gonna be, I might not be home in time for your birthday. Just watch the DVD.” He kissed your forehead before heading out the door.
~
You were curled up on your couch, wrapped in blankets as you rewatched the DVD again. It was all the home movies your family ever filmed from your childhood. You were tearing up as you watched your mom push you on the swings.
“Higher! Higher, Mommy, higher!”
“Hold on tight!”
There was a knock at your door. You paused the video and untangled yourself from your nest of blankets. You peered through the peephole and saw Spencer standing outside, his hands behind his back. You undid the deadbolt and opened the door.
“Spencer-”
“(Y/N), I’m sorry.” He brought his hands back around, showing you a bouquet of flowers- all your favorites. “I shouldn’t have yelled at you like that, I was out of line. I-I wasn’t in my right mind and-”
“Spencer, breathe.” You motioned for him to come in. He handed you the flowers. “Dad told me what happened in Atlanta.”
He rubbed the back of his neck. “He didn’t tell you everything.”
“What do you mean?” You set the flowers on your kitchen counter and sat next to Spencer on your couch.
“Promise me you won’t blow up and get angry.”
“Spence, what’s going on?”
He took a deep breath. “When I was kidnapped, the unsub injected me with dilaudid. It was meant to keep me passive and subdued.”
“And now you’re addicted, aren’t you?” you realized. “Oh, Spencer.”
“I’m getting help,” he assured you. “Gideon kind of, uh, talked a little sense into me.” His hands were fidgeting. “I, I didn’t want to tell you because I thought you might, I don’t know. I thought you might not like me anymore.”
You took his hand in yours. “Spencer, I knew I liked you when I spilled my coffee on you and you didn’t freak out on me. Then I got to know you, and your kind, gentle heart. I don’t think I could ever stop liking you.”
Spencer’s smile came back. His real smile. He turned his head to the tv. “Is that your mom?”
“Yeah,” you said, a sad smile on your face as you hit play.
“You don’t talk about her much.”
“She died when I was in high school,” you said. “After she died, my uncle took over recording family videos when Dad was off on cases.”
“You look just like her,” Spencer told you. “Wait, what’s this one?” he asked.
The camera was pointed at a stage, lights coming up on apartment buildings.
“Oh, this is from when I did Little Shop of Horrors !” you said. “I played Audrey.”
“Wow, really?” He cleared his throat. “I-I don’t mean I think you can’t do it, I just meant I can’t see you letting a man treat you like that.”
You shrugged. “Acting, Spence.”
He laughed and you leaned against him. His face turned pink, but he wrapped his arm around your shoulders. He kissed the top of your head.
~
Your dad left the bureau, for good. He dropped off the map, not even telling you where he was going. Spencer was beyond upset. When he found the letter, he showed up at your apartment, tear tracks down his cheeks.
“Spence, what happened?” You took his hand and gently pulled him inside. “Spencer?” He handed you the letter as the two of you sat on the couch. “Oh, Spencer.”
“He left. He left us. Without even saying goodbye.”
“I’m sorry, Spence.” You wrapped your arms around him and he rested his head on your shoulder. “I know how you’re feeling. I can’t tell you the number of times I expected Dad to be at something, and he wasn’t there. It got to the point where I was surprised if he did show up.”
“How did you deal with that?” Spencer asked you.
You shrugged. “I guess, I just
 focused on who was there for me.”
~
Spencer woke up the next morning to his phone blaring. He was disoriented, and didn’t quite recognize his surroundings. Until he looked to his left and saw you laying next to him.
You sat up and rubbed your eyes. “Is that the team?” you asked, your voice still rough from sleep.
“Yeah,” Spencer sighed.
“Go. They need you.”
“But-”
“Spence.” You cupped his face in your hands. “I’ll be here when you get back. I promise.” You kissed him and pressed your forehead to his. “Go save the world, my genius.”

The Winter Soldier (Chapter Three)
Tumblr media
Summary: Steve drops by the VA and listens in on one of Sam’s meetings and later that evening, (Y/N) reflects on her unusual day with the super-soldier.
Pairing: Steve Rogers X Reader
Word Count: 1.5k
Warnings/Disclaimers: Brief discussion of PTSD
A/N: Hope you all enjoy!
Chapter Three (Previous Chapter)
After placing sugar packets and stirring sticks next to the coffee maker, (Y/N) took a seat beside the refreshment table and watched as Sam took his place at the front of the crowded room and began the meeting. One by one, each person would share their struggles with PTSD and how it had affected their lives as civilians; with each person’s story, (Y/N)’s heart clenched in sympathy. These vets have put their lives on the line to protect us, they don’t deserve to suffer, she thought with an inward sigh. She couldn’t count the number of times she’d woken Sam up from a nightmare or had seen him suddenly grow silent and have to distract him from his memories of war. But it was wonderful that people like Sam, people who face the same exact struggles, run programs to help each other out.
Seeing movement out of the corner of her eye, (Y/N) turned to see Steve Rogers leaning against the doorframe of the room, his arms crossed over his chest as he listened to the meeting. Smiling and tugging her sweater tighter around her, (Y/N) turned her attention back to the woman speaking. “The thing is I think it’s getting worse. A cop pulled me over last week, he thought I was drunk. I swerved to miss a plastic bag. I thought it was an IED.”
Sam nodded. “Some stuff you leave there, other stuff you bring back. It’s our job to figure out how to carry it. Is it gonna be in a big suitcase or in a little man-purse? It’s up to you.” Everyone clapped and began standing, so (Y/N) jumped to her feet to man the table. She greeted each person with a smile as they grabbed cookies and filled their cups with coffee, delighted to see so many new faces among the usual crowd. After about twenty minutes of mingling and making small talk, the crowd started to leave so she decided to begin packing up the refreshments as Sam bid them goodbye out in the hallway.
“Don’t take those away those cookies just yet, darlin’, I wanna bring one home to my gran’daughter.”
(Y/N) looked up to see Gary, an older man with an incredibly bushy grey beard and a Vietnam War veteran’s baseball cap, and she smiled brightly before offering him the half-full container. “Take the whole thing if you’d like, Gary, and be sure to say hello to Katie for me!”
That made Gary grin toothily as he took the container. “You know, darlin’, you’re sweeter than this whole damn box of cookies. I’ll be seein’ you next week!” (Y/N) gave him a small wave and resumed cleaning as he limped away.
“You’re pretty popular around here.”
She turned away from the coffee pot and smiled when she saw Steve standing before her, his blue eyes glimmering and his hands shoved in his pockets. “If I am, it’s only ‘cause I give away free cookies; the vets that visit all have a massive sweet-tooth, you know.”
“Are you a vet, too?”
“Nah, I just work here.” She tossed several used paper coffee cups into the trash and chuckled. “A year ago, when I finally graduated with my master’s degree, I started writing my novel and since I was writing about soldiers and government agents I needed to interview some about their personal experiences. So, I decided to come down to the VA. I met with Sam, who had just started working here, and asked if I could interview some people for my writing. He agreed, and I spent the whole day just talking to the vets. All sorts of vets, too; men, women, old, young, you name it. And at the end of the day, after hearing about their struggles with PTSD and how hard their lives became once they returned to civilian life, I went back to Sam and asked if he needed any part-time employees. He said yes, and we’ve been best friends ever since.” Steve smiled, and the impressed look he was giving her caused her to blush so she hurriedly changed the subject. “So, did everything work out earlier? It’s just that it seemed a little serious, so I hope that everything’s okay.”
Steve’s smile fell a little but he nodded. “Yeah, everything’s fine
I was just visiting a friend who hasn’t been doing too well lately.”
(Y/N) impulsively placed a comforting hand on his arm. “I’m sorry, that sounds difficult. I hope they get better soon.” The ghost of a sympathetic smile pulled at the corner of her mouth and Steve’s eyes softened after a moment; realizing that her hand was still resting on his arm, she hastily withdrew it and began folding the tablecloth to keep her hands busy. “Um, Sam and I were planning on going out to dinner after we finish packing up, you’re welcome to join us if you want.”
She glanced up at him and saw a glint of something in his eyes, but it disappeared before she could get a closer look. “Thanks for the offer but I’ll have to pass; I’ve already got some plans later
”
“That’s okay, maybe next time!” (Y/N) smiled, but inside she couldn’t help but feel a pang of disappointment.
Just then, Sam walked into the room with a stack of pamphlets in his hands. “Pretty good turnout today, huh? Five new faces and Captain America!”
Steve chuckled. “Well, I’m glad that I stopped by.” He glanced at the clock on the wall before continuing, “I should probably get going, but it was good to see you two again.”
(Y/N) shook his hand. “I’m not gonna lie, it was a little weird seeing you in your own exhibit earlier but it was great hanging out with you!”
“You too, and good luck with For Queen and Country, I’ll keep my eye out for it in the bookshops.” His bright smile caused her heartbeat to once-again quicken as their hands dropped.
“It was good seeing you too, Cap, you made me look really awesome in front of Maria, so thanks for that.” Sam grinned and shook his outstretched hand.
“Glad I could help, Sam; see you two around!” Steve gave them a small wave before turning and walking out of the room.
Tearing her eyes away from the doorway, (Y/N) resumed her cleaning and glanced at Sam. “What do you feel like tonight, Thai or burgers?”
Sam grinned and began unplugging the coffee maker. “Burgers. So, did you have a nice day chilling with your new boyfriend, Booksmart?”
“Sam
”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Later that evening, (Y/N) sat down at her desk and put her music on shuffle before flicking through her notebook to the pages of notes she’d taken that day at the Smithsonian. She bit back a smile when she recognized the difference between the carefully printed notes she’d taken by herself versus the illegible scribbles taken from the elderly security guard’s long-winded explanations. He was kind of a fast talker, wasn’t he, she thought to herself; as a way of honoring the enthusiastic old man, she ultimately decided to name one of her minor characters after him.
“Stan.” She sounded out the name and gave a satisfied nod. “Yeah, that’s got a nice ring to it
”
(Y/N), now finally having all the information she needed to best describe Soviet Cold War missiles, wrote for nearly three hours straight, only taking breaks to skip songs or to glance down at her notes. She would’ve probably continued writing well into the next morning except that her eyesight was beginning to blur around the edges, an unfortunate symptom of exhaustion.
Well, you have had a pretty busy day today, (Y/N) silently reasoned as she saved her evening’s progress and booted down her laptop. Since Sam was already fast asleep in the room across the hall, she went about her bedtime routine as quietly as she could, washing her face and brushing her teeth before tiptoeing back into her room. She slipped on her mismatched pajama set and was about to crawl into bed when the record player on her bedside table caught her eye. Making her way over to what Sam affectionately called ‘The DJ Bookcase,’ she scanned the shelf devoted solely to her record collection until the right one stood out to her, and then she carefully placed the record on the turntable and lowered the needle. After a moment, the soft tones of Glenn Miller’s ‘Stardust’ filled her room and with a smile, she finally got into bed and turned to watch the record spinning on the turntable.
Thoughts of the super-soldier who’d inspired her choice in bedtime music began to fill her mind, making her smile softly to herself. (Y/N) had enjoyed seeing Steve again, even if it had been in a highly unconventional place like the Smithsonian, and she quietly marveled at how effortless it had been to talk to the larger-than-life man. He really was different from how the history books portrayed him: not only was he kind and polite, but he was also intelligent, sarcastic and extremely understanding. Also a little lost, I expect, (Y/N) thought, remembering his guarded expressions and withdrawn replies whenever she’d ask him a personal question; it couldn’t be easy adjusting to a brand-new reality, especially without a fixed support system to rely on.
“Hopefully he ends up getting the help he needs.” (Y/N) murmured to herself, her sleepy eyes continuing to watch the rotating record as more thoughts of Steve Rogers filled her mind.

To Love is the Greatest Gift
1. The Return
Tumblr media
pairing: obi wan kenobi x f!reader (past!din djarn x f!reader) characters: f!reader, anakin amidala-skywalker, padmĂ© amidala-skywalker, mentiones of din djarin, obi wan kenobi, others word count: 2.6k+ warnings: angst, fluff, mentions of rent: the musical (death, second chances) uh... I think that’s it? summary: au!it’s never been the right timing for you and obi wan kenobi; maybe this time will be different. a/n: i started working on this story so long ago it’s ridiculous, but I suddenly had a surge of motivation to continue this story after some tragic family news. this was also very much inspired by @martlands and their amazing obi wan stories, made me want to write my own and here it is
all || next
Tumblr media
“You broke up?”
One would think that the immediate reaction to someone asking if you broke up with your significant other would be to cry or begin to ask them what could have possibly gone wrong. But that’s not the reaction you give. 
The reaction you give is just a shrug and a strong pop, as you spoon more gelato onto the little spoon his twins love collecting. “Yep.”
“After only three weeks of dating?” Anakin doesn’t know why he’s surprised, but he is. This is probably the shortest living relationship you’ve ever had. “Why?”
“Why not?” you answer easily, nonchalantly and you know it frustrates him. “It wasn’t working out, so we decided to call it quits.”
Not even a month ago, you had been genuinely excited about finally getting out there and meeting someone new, and even more excited when you were telling him all about this person you met while out with some old friends. You had said, word for word, “he might be the perfect contender!”
Where did all that excitement go?
You sigh, finally looking up at him and away from your white chocolate gelato that's just to die for. “Ani, it’s fine. It just didn’t work out. It happens.”
He grimaces. “What happened between you and Din—“
You bristle at the mention of your ex, narrowing your eyes and his widen in defense. You know what Anakin and PadmĂ© think of him and it’s not entirely pleasant (particularly from Anakin’s part). It’s completely unfair. Din is lovely, sure a little socially awkward, but lovely nonetheless. “Has nothing to do with why Gar and I ended things.”
“But—“
“Nothing,” you reiterate with a bit more force and he sighs, lifting his hands in defeat while holding his own cup of gelato.
“Okay. Okay, I’m sorry.” And then, like a light switching, he turns playful. “Was it his name that turned you off—Gar?”
You resist the urge to groan and roll your eyes. “Oh maker, you are annoying!”
You huff as you make the trek back to the trolley that’ll take you both up to the observatory. The rest of your conversation is forgotten as he navigates it towards continuing to tease you and the latest exhibit you had helped set up.
The Coruscant Observatory is one of the most popular attractions in the city aside from the Exotic Animal Sanctuary (where most zoologist work to help rehabilitate wild animals before reintroducing them back into the wild, only housing the ones that have been assessed to not be able to function in the wild on their own—which are unfortunately many).
Your place of work is known for its large, ground telescope; its monthly constellation exhibits; the multiple planetarium theater rooms that house lectures, activities, star projections, etc.; and its Astronomer Q&A program where visitors can ask astronomers questions and even get a tour of the space station.
However, most of your days are spent in your office, planning for the next exhibit or actually executing them with your team; meanwhile, Anakin spends them in tech, sometimes maintaining the telescope, other times helping with IT issues, but mostly making sure the theater rooms worked perfectly for their 4D immersion.
(You like to joke that out of the two of you, he has it easiest; sometimes he’ll run by your office to get to another part of the building while you’re doing something and you’ll yell out, “slacker” and he’ll respond with, “you just work too much”.)
“Are PadmĂ© and the twins stopping by today?”
“Not today, maybe tomorrow,” he says as you both step out of the trolley along with a few tourists. “I think today they decided to stay for some school thing.”
“Shouldn’t you know what that school thing is?” you chide him out of jest.
He scowls, there’s hardly any heat in it and it makes you grin. “It’s a music performance that the CN Theater is putting on.”
“Ah, and we all know how much musicals bores you.”
“I just don’t understand them,” he murmurs defensively as you climb the few steps leading to the entrance. The two of you smiling and greeting Rex at his security post and bypassing the ticket gate with your IDs.
“You mean you don’t have any taste,” you tease.
“It’s weird! I mean, most of them are all about tragedies and betrayals. What happened to the good ol’ romance and happy endings?”
“Not all of them are tragedies, Casanova.”
The main rotunda lobby is full of people milling about, looking at maps or the foucault pendulum in the middle of the room. Low chatter fills the room, shoes clicking and clacking against the marble flooring.
“Name one.”
Spotting the trash can and recycle bin, Anakin holds his hand out for your disposable cup and spoon and throws them away in their proper bin.
“Rent.” There are probably better examples, but you had been listening to the original cast album the night before and have all the songs still stuck in your head.
“Don’t two characters die?”
“Angel and Mimi.” You nod. “But Mimi is brought back to life by Angel, and is given a second chance at life.”
“She may have been brought back to life, but that doesn’t take away from the fact she died.”
“I’m not arguing with you on that, I’m just saying the ending was hopeful—not necessarily a happy ending, but it left you thinking—maybe things can get better.”
“And that’s not what I’m looking for. I’m looking for—“
“What you and PadmĂ© have?” you ask him as you both reach the door of your office.
He pauses, mouth opening and closing before finally rubbing the back of his head sheepishly and saying, “Yeah.”
You smile, genuine and happy for your childhood friend. Who would’ve thought that years ago when you introduced them, they’d be here years later—married and with twins. You and Anakin sure as hell didn’t. For most of your childhood, you both believed you’d live out your life on Tatooine, hang with the same friends you’ve known since your pre-kinder days and eventually get married to each other—much to the dismay of your parents—because of benefits or whatever, until your parents decided they wanted to send you off to a private school in one of the major cities, derailing your and Anakin’s plan (for the better, if you’re being honest).
“You’re still coming over for dinner, right?”
“Yeah,” you answer, unlocking your office door with your key. “I have a meeting that might go over the expected time, but I should be able to make it on time.”
“Just let us know,” he says, rapping his knuckles against the door frame. “But you better be there! We have some planning to do!”
You roll your eyes and wave him away, promising he and his family will definitely see you at five. With a hearty chuckle he salutes you and leaves the door slightly ajar, just like you usually do. It’s your “you can come in to ask me questions, but knock first, please” visual telling.
With a soft exhale, you drop yourself into your creaking office chair, eyes landing on the first picture on your right—a younger you, only 18, fresh out of your uniform smiling wildly with a large bouquet of flowers that you can still distinctly remember the smell of.
“I am in love!” PadmĂ© exclaimed, squealing in absolute delight at the flowers put in your hand.
Blue eyes crinkled with amusement, staring down at you. “Are you?” His voice was low, teasing and almost smug. He had obviously heard the gasp that escaped your lips when he presented you the colorful bouquet created with your favorite flowers that his father grew in their little garden.
“Irrevocably,” you answered, not able to hide your smile as you gently held it against your chest and smiled up at him. “They’re beautiful, Obi. Thank you.”
Obi Wan’s arm is wrapped around your shoulder, caught in the action of a booming laughter. He was always laughing in pictures. There isn’t a single picture you have of him that he isn't smiling.
Your finger gently trails over his smiling face. Maker, you miss him.
Is he still traveling? Or has he finally settled down again? Will he show up and spring some unexpected news on you again? Stars, you hope not. Shit didn’t go as planned last time and it probably wouldn’t again.
Your hand falls limply and you swivel in your seat, looking out the large glass window overlooking the majority of the city and sigh softly—an exhale of wary hope and sadness.
A bird soars by your window, it’s wings flapping effortlessly, diving before flying higher and away.
He’s not coming back. You know this. Coruscant just isn’t the same anymore. Not when he feels this city has taken everything from him.
One more year visiting Gui Gon without him.
Tumblr media
The meeting runs longer than it usually would, just like you had expected. Checking the time, you let out a curse and quickly throw your belongings into your car.
Without wasting time, as soon as you switch on your engine, you place your phone on the dock and say, “Hey C-3PO, call PadmĂ©.”
“Calling PadmĂ©,” your phone’s AI answers through the speakers of your car.
“Are you outside?” Is how she greets you. There are loud noises in the background, children squabbling about something or another, and Anakin’s weary voice trying to rally them. 
You snort, pulling out of the undergroundparking lot. “Not yet, barely got out of my meeting and am on my way.”
“Please hurry, the twins really want to see you and are dying from hunger,” she says, amusement in her voice and not at all trying to hurry you. “They might start eating Anakin soon.”
“Hey, don’t bite that!” He yells from a distance.
“Hurry, please!” you hear over the phone—Luke. “I miss you,” he says, closer now. Which you immediately reply saying you miss him too, almost cutting off the next voice.
“And I’m hungry!” Leia’s voice follows his, practically yelling into the phone.
You laugh fondly, just imagining the childish glee on their faces at your scandalized gasps and your exaggerated “me too” answers.
“Leia, no yelling,” PadmĂ© scolds her, gentle and kind. “Softer, please.”
“Sorry,” she says. “I’m hungry,” she repeats, softer, almost a whisper.
“Give me twenty minutes and I’ll be there,” you promise. “If not, you have my permission to start eating your dad.”
Leia and Luke break into a fit of laughter, yelling something away from the phone to Anakin, who once again lets out a loud, “Hey!”
PadmĂ© chuckles, moving away from the voices of the children tackling their father and their play fighting. “Take your time, we’re not in any hurry to start eating. The kids had a hearty lunch and a snack after school.”
“What about you and Anakin?”
“We’re fine, don’t worry. Just get here safely and we’ll see you soon.”
You end the call with one last reassurance from her and let out a loud sigh when your car comes to a stop behind a long line of glaring red lights—traffic. You hate traffic.
You might be surrounded by blinding lights and different models of vehicles, but it leaves you alone with your thoughts, the low hum of your engine and music from your stereo drowned out by the chattering in your head. 
It’s never just one thing that you think about. It can go from one thing to another, to all of them trying to climb over eachother and be the most present: your friends; your family; the dog next door; Din and Baby; cinnamon apple cookies; the beach house in Naboo; sneaking out of the prep dormitories at 2am with PadmĂ© keeping an eye out and Obi Wan holding his arms out for you; rose gardens and peach tea; freckles on blushing skin; drunken singing in a small living room; 21st birthdays crying in a bathroom stall; that stupid movie quote about choosing life; death; but sometimes (most occurring) it’s Obi Wan that weaves into every thought.
He’s a constant plague in your mind, has been since the first time he left Coruscant in search of himself. 
Sometimes they’re pleasant thoughts, memories kept in a nostalgic trunk that you occasionally like to sift through. Other times, they’re not so pleasant; those are the ones you constantly struggle with, try to push into the recesses of your mind and keep them under lock and key. But for some stupid, strange reason, your mind only ever remembers the bad, even when there are better things to dwell on.
“I just—I just don’t understand why you have to leave—Obi. Obi!” you practically yelled, watching him move around his room, grabbing and throwing things he pulled out into his duffel bag. “Listen to me!” 
He didn’t stop, not until you reached for his duffel bag and plucked it out from his hands. He stared at you, his duffel bag carelessly thrown to the floor with his clothes spilling out. 
Your breathing was labored, a sick feeling swimming in your stomach, words stuck in your throat now that he wasn’t hiding his beautiful blue eyes from you—his devastatingly heartbroken eyes. “I have to,” he finally said, breaking the silence. “I need to leave. This house—this city, it's suffocating me. I can’t—I can’t stay here anymore.”
“Obi
 Obi, please.” You can’t leave me. You can’t! Please! Please, Obi.
“I need to do this for me, darling. I’m sorry.”
You should’ve fought harder that night, should’ve convinced him to stay, but instead you helped him pack again with tears obstructing your view and sobs escaping your lips. Maybe if you had, you wouldn’t have lost him.
No, your breath stutters as you lean back into your car seat, there was nothing you could’ve done. Either times. He had made up his mind long before that night.
A car honks their horn to your left and you jump, eyes focusing once more on the red lights of the car in front of you. You wipe at your face harshly and straighten your spine. 
That was years ago, little one. Shake it off. 
Sighing softly, you look up at the street name and make a turn onto the Skywalker residence street, your shoulders relaxing when their two story home comes into view.  
Shake it off.
Parking isn't easy to find in their neighborhood, not when it’s so close to the observatory and some of the most visited parks in the area, but you manage to find one just two cars away from their house. 
Gathering your things, you lock the door behind you and quickly make your way down the sidewalk, phone in your hand and typing out a message that you’re here.
It’s while you’re hitting send that you don’t notice the body in front of you, staring up at the house with an almost wary expression on his face, or how his eyes widen when they see you. It’s not until you collide into his body, soft with a fleece cardigan, that you notice him. Embarrassment begins to boil in your blood as you quickly apologize to him, berating yourself for not being more aware of your surroundings.
“Kriff, I’m so sorry—“ you start, but the apology catches in your throat when you look up.
“Hello, there.” Blue eyes, so soft and kind, like the ones you once used to dream of stare back at you—so unlike the pair of eyes you saw years ago. “It’s been a long time, darling.”
You can’t shake him off.

Ominous (Part 4)
Part I | Part II | Part III
CHARACTERS: Adam Sackler, Brenda “Bree” Sackler, Tako, and Patrice (OC - Tako’s fiancĂ©e/wife) CONTENT: Flashbacks, Fluff, Angst, Addiction Mentions, Tough Talk, Sex Implied, Use of the B-word (B*tches)
Tako and Patrice’s Townhome Bree’s Previous Apartment (2BR, 1BA)
Tumblr media
FOUR YEARS AGO (Tako and Patrice’s Engagement Party)
“You’re so fucking in love, dude!” Tako exclaimed as she punched Adam in the chest.
Adam laughed as he twisted the cap off a small bottle of water and Tako made herself another plate of food. 
“I’ve never seen you like this. You’re all calm and cool. Leaning against shit like you’re fucking Frank Sinatra.”
Adam shook his head and took a sip of water. Looking beyond the bottom of the bottle, he got a glimpse at Bree in the living room talking with Tako’s fiancĂ©e, Patrice. They were certainly talking about Bree’s outfit--a pink and yellow jumpsuit that she’d made herself. The spaghetti-strapped top was split in half--yellow on the left side of her body, pink on the right. Her right pants leg was yellow, the left one pink. The bright, summery colors popped against her brown skin. She’d traded in her eyeglasses for contact lenses for the night, and her curly hair fell to her shoulders.
“See!” Tako beamed. She added a spoonful of sliced strawberries to her plate. “Tell me what she knows and doesn’t know about you before I accidentally spill some fucking beans.”
Tako leaned against the counter beside Adam and he shrugged. “She knows everything.”
She raised an eyebrow. “Everything?”
“Y-yeah. Pretty much.”
“She knows about...you know. The alcohol?”
Adam nodded. “Yes.”
“She knows that you’re a slut?”
“Reformed slut. And she kinda knows...”
“Kinda knows?” Tako asked, popping a cheese cube into her mouth. Adam rotated the bottled water between his palms.
“I wanted to talk about it, but she said she didn’t care. So...”
Tako raised both eyebrows. “Wow. I don’t know if I’m impressed or worried.”
Adam laughed. “Bree is...she’s easily the most easygoing...the most understanding...the most thoughtful girl I’ve ever dated...”
“Well, then. I’m happy for you, kid.”
Adam stole a strawberry from Tako’s plate and softly elbowed her in the rib.
____________________ PRESENT Adam stood at the counter eating leftover spaghetti. Her hair tied in a silk scarf and a sheer robe flowing behind her, Patrice walked into the kitchen, bringing flames with her.
“Why don’t you sit at the table?” she asked coldly. She opened the refrigerator and grabbed a bottle of water. 
Adam shrugged. “I’m almost done.”
Patrice closed the robe around her body, covering her silk pajamas. Adam’s eyes inadvertently landed on the red slushy maker that he and Bree bought them as a wedding gift. He quickly looked back down at his plate, and Patrice left the kitchen, leaving her unmistakable heat for him to simmer in.
He’d cleaned his paper plate and dropped it in the trash can when Tako walked by with pieces of bedding in her arm. He turned off the kitchen light and walked into the living room, where she’d placed two sheets and a blanket on the sofa. Then, she placed the Roku remote on top of it. 
“We usually unplug everything at nine, but here’s the remote if you wanna watch TV. Or listen to some music. Whatever.”
“How pissed is Patrice?” Adam asked. 
“PATRICE IS VERY PISSED!” Patrice shouted from their bedroom.
The corner of Tako’s mouth quirked as if you to say “there you have it”. Adam sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. 
Tako tilted her head to the left and Adam followed her past their bedroom, where Patrice was pulling back the covers. They walked past the bedroom of Jason--Tako and Patrice’s eight-month-old son. Adam’s heart began to pound and a lump formed in his throat. This was supposed to be him and Bree, only they would live in a house away from the city.
Adam was happy to commute to work if it meant that Bree could have her own quaint boutique in some quaint shopping district in some quaint town. They were going to have two or three kids, a dog, and a backyard for them all to run around in. He had to make things right. He wanted Bree and wanted the future they’d planned. 
Tako led him into the small home office and closed the door. She sat in the rolling chair and Adam sat in a wingback chair by the door, against the wall. 
“So...who was it?” she asked. 
Adam rubbed his temples. “Jessa.”
“Fuck, dude...”
“Yeah, I know. I fucking know,” Adam groaned, sliding down into the chair. “I don’t know what the fuck happened.”
“I mean, are you still in love with Jessa, or...?”
“No, I’m not. I’ve barely thought about her for years.”
“Is something going on with you and Bree...?”
“No,” Adam mumbled. He leaned forward and placed his head in his hands. Then, he sat back up. “Bree is perfect.”
He shrugged. “She’s perfect. I don’t know. I don’t know why I did it.”
Tako stared straight through Adam. She folded her arms and tapped her fingertips on her arm. Adam pressed his back against the chair and exhaled.
“We got some coffee and we just started talking. It felt like old times again. We went to my place and talked some more...”
“Your place?!” Tako asked.
Guilt rushed over Adam’s face and Tako held her hands up. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Go on.”
“That’s it. We talked some more. I showed her the apartment, you know. The view. Next thing I knew...”
Adam rested his head against the wall and Tako just stared at him. “You want it hard or you want it soft?”
“Whatever,” Adam scoffed. “I don’t care.”
Tako leaned forward against the desk. She gathered her thoughts before she spoke. 
“You talked so much shit about the girls you’ve dated. Hannah, Jessa. FiFi?”
“MiMi Rose,” Adam corrected.
“Yeah, her,” Tako continued. “You talked so much about how much they thrived off drama. You know what I think? I think you thrive off that shit, too.”
“No I fucking don’t,” Adam snapped.
“Then what is it? Tell me? You’ve got a wife who--from what you tell me--has done more for you than all of those bitches combined. She’s fucking hot--she’s the nicest fucking person I’ve ever met. She’s honest--she’s all the shit you claim you like--and you risked your marriage to her for Jessa? I’m just not understanding, Adam.”
Adam ran his fingers through his hair again and stared at the ceiling.
____________________ THREE YEARS AGO
“Ughhhh,” Adam groaned. He wrapped his arms around Bree’s waist as she dug through her closet. “Do you have to go?”
Bree chuckled. “Yes, I have to go.”
Adam nuzzled at her neck as she looked over a green dress. “It’ll only be a few days, babe.”
Bree hung the dress back up and pulled out a burgundy one. Adam groaned again and Bree grabbed a pink dress.
“A few days is too long,” he mumbled. He stood up straight and stepped backward to sit down on Bree’s bed. “I hate being away from you for just a day.”
Bree folded the pink dress over her arm and looked at Adam. She could see the genuine sadness in his face. Then, she walked over to him, placed the dress on the bed, and rested her hands against his shoulders. Adam opened his legs and pulled Bree close--his arms resting comfortably on the sharp curve of her ass.
“Are you serious right now?” Bree asked softly. She ran her fingers through his hair.
“I don’t like separations,” Adam said with a pout. He pressed kisses against the fabric over her navel and took in the sugary scent of her lotion. “I like being around you. All the time.”
“Baby,” Bree said softly. She lifted Adam’s face by his chin. She gazed upon his darkened eyes--noticing the glints of amber as they partially met the light of the ceiling lamp overhead. She kept running her fingers through his hair, thinking carefully about her words.
“I love you.”
Adam chewed on his lips and stared into Bree’s eyes--coffee irises protected by long, thick lashes. “I love you, too.”
“...I don’t want you to...”
“Don’t want me to what?”
“I don’t want you to make a drug out of me,” she said. 
Adam’s eyes stayed on Bree. Finally, he blinked. “What?”
Bree sighed and shook her head. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean that.”
She tried to pull away but Adam pulled her close. “No. I know what you mean.” He kissed her belly again. “I know what you mean.”
Bree bent down and kissed Adam’s forehead. “I’m so proud of you. Things have been so good for you.”
Then, she sat back up and pinched his cheeks.
“You’re a big boy, aren’t you?” she asked in a high pitched voice. Adam rolled his eyes and looked away. “You can survive a few days without Mommy, can’t you?”
A devilish grin formed on Adam’s face and he pulled Bree down onto the bed with him, making her squeal. 
“You’re a fucking comedian, now?" he asked. He locked his legs around hers, trapping her body against his and making her laugh. Suddenly, they fell silent and looked into each other’s eyes again. Bree lowered her head and kissed Adam’s on the lips.
“You’ve gotta bring me some fucking Al Capone merch or some shit,” Adam said. Bree chuckled.
“I am not buying Al Capone merch. How about I bring you a few slices of deep-dish pizza?”
“You know that I’m trying to eat healthy,” Adam growled, squeezing Bree’s ass. 
“I forgot, I’m sorry. Well, how about this...” Bree mumbled, running her finger down Adam’s lips, to his chin, and down his neck. “When I get back...”
Bree reached behind her and pushed Adam’s palm deeper against her right ass cheek. “...I’ll bring you a nice organic treat. You can eat it for as long as you want.”
Adam bit his lips, closed his eyes, and exhaled through his nostrils. After a brief pause, he flipped Bree over so that he was on top of her. Her laugh filled the room as he tugged at her pajama shorts.
“I have to finish packing!” she squealed.
“You’ll finish when I finish,” Adam said, sliding down the bed and onto his knees.
____________________ PRESENT
Wrapped in a Christmas-themed throw blanket, Bree sat on the sofa, staring at the television without a single clue as to what was happening on it. She thought about the assortment of desserts that she passed on at the pizzeria. She regretted not ordering an entire pie to bring home. The city lights shimmered in the distance--for she didn’t have the strength or desire to pull down the shades. She wondered where Adam was. Tako and Patrice’s? Ray’s?
Jessa’s?
She shook the thought out of her head. Her eyes landed upon her wedding photo. He wore a blue tuxedo and (much to her mother’s chagrin) she wore a flowing yellow. Bree rose from the sofa, walked to the console, and stared at the photo--he was hunched over and her arms were around his neck as they engaged in a soft kiss. Bree put the framed photo face down, returned to the sofa, and turned off the television.
Then, she fluffed the caseless pillow on the left end of the sofa and laid her head upon it. She curled up in a ball and pulled the throw blanket close to her chin. 
Suddenly, the shadowy figure of a woman formed on her balcony. Bree turned to face the inside back of the sofa and pulled the blanket completely over her face.

No way out...
Tumblr media
Drinking with the gang.
That was supposed to be joyful one, isn't that right? One single moment where you just can say fuck the world and enjoy the least bit of sanity you're suppose to have while being a part of the league... well, now Paranormal Liberation Front.
At least the clothes and the condition of living were better than sharing a room in a dirty bar or just moving into abandoned buildings...
He wasn't someone who ever thought about getting lucky on this shit called life of his. Yet now he had some fucking food and a partner to just wrap his arm around their waist, and behind closed doors kiss amd fuck with all his heart content.
And it made it better when your morals happen to be similiar with his ones. You didn't gave two shits about Shigaraki's plans besides having a huge respect towards him... somehow.
He knew about how you lost your parents to heroes. Two people whose was only trying to provide for their kids only to be caught stealing food at the wrong moment and wrong place...
Despite all of his issues and yours. You two made a good match... and he was, dare he say, happy. More happier than he ever was.
Right now, on the middle of drinking your heads off, Toga and Twice had come up with a game. Throwing a fucking knife around and just hoping no one got actually hurt by it. Simple, if you catched the bottle without breaking it, you had to tell a story or just do something stupid.
Similiar to truth and dare but... a bit more spice on it.
"CATCH (Y/N)! OH SHIT DUCK!" Twice yelled and Dabi didn't even bothered to move as his arm continued on your shoulders as you merely lifted one of your fingers up and stopped the knife on mid air.
"Metallokinesis". Your quirk was quite an ordinary but by no means less useful.
"Buuuu you're no fun (Y/n)-chan!" Toga whined on her seat with a pout as you chuckled and rotted the knife on the air while swirling your finger along with it.
"Right right, as if I would be let to be stabbed here." You commented, giggling at the snort Dabi let out before you actually grabbed the knife "So, embarrassing thing or story of my life?"
"You just happen to be the second most mysterious one of this league excluding crusty over there." Spinner pointed with his can at Dabi "Say something about no one here knows."
"Huh..." you poked the tip of knife on your chin with a thoughtful expression before letting out a gasp.
"Found one aparently." Mr. Compress spike from his seat.
"Welp, guess it wouldn't hurt to it." You leaned more on Dabi as he sighed in content.
Neither his own blue flames could compare to the warm feeling you brought to his uncharacteristically cold soul.
"There was this one last time I saw my brother. He was such a dick, but he took care of me after my parents died so I own my life to him kinda of."
"Brother huh?" He opened of his turquoise eyes in amusement. You never mentioned about a brother even after everything you told him about your past, so that was new.
"Yep. He told me how to especially control my quirk-" you levitated the knife and made her twirl in the air "His quirk wasn't something useful sadly.. his hands turned into diamonds but for only what? Two minute s or less I guess. Yet he never stopped being a fighter and a trouble maker." You giggled.
"You're a magnet to shitty assholes. HE SOUNDED NICE!" Dabi only threw a half glare at Twice as Toga giggled.
"But back on. One time we were walking on the middle of the night, comminting some robberies to put at least a piece of bread on the table... but then we just happened to cross by the current number one hero himself!" You spoke on a venom tone who only made him snort. He could care two fucks about Enji yet it was fun to see how fucking pissed you are with the bastard.
"And he beat your brother's ass." Spinner spoke as you only took a sip form your own drink.
"He beat my and his ass." You let go of the drink "My brother just happened to pull me out of the way of his flames, he used his quirk to prevent a potential burn yet he got some scars outra of it."
Dabi suddenly tensed... he remembered one night he was doing his researches fro recruits... Usually you would go with him, but Shigaraki demanded your services for something else on that night...
"Scars?" Toga asked with a sick smile.
"Yeah. A burn that crossed from his jaw until the midsection of his nose and a deep cut that crossed his forehead to his lef cheek. Almost lost vision of one eye."
Memories clouded his mind... it was cold... his footsteps echoed on the empty streets before they come to a stop when he saw someone.
"He got burns all over his body yet his hands remained intact... probably because of his quirk sure."
.
.
.
The guy stared at him while he demanded to be on the league... the quirk wasn't useful to them... the man was cocky and didn't care about morals and didn't even gave him a reason to be there, just a "I need to."
.
.
"He was always a thick head. If he wanted something than he get it or got beaten up because of it... so when Endeavoyr fought him... he gave his best." You spike proudly as a shen of sweat started to appear on Dabi's forehead.
.
.
Doing a backflip after jumping and dodging one of his attacks he cursed and sended a huge wave of flames towards the man whose shouted curses at him.
.
.
"Then what happened?"
"Endeavour focused more on my brother as his sidekick chased me. My brother shouted at me to run that he would find me on our usual spot...then I made a run for it and attracted the sidekick far away from the fight to not cause my brother more trouble."
.
.
The guy was totally fucked up... laying on the concret as Dabi took one bar of metal from a trash can and stared down at him... the motherfucker made him loose a few of his stables so he had to fucking pay...
"Still alive I see..." he muttered in boredoom as a thunder echoed... rain drops appeared and fell on them as his victim's haw trembled yet his (E/c) remained that pathetic determined infuriated look.
"F-Fuck.. off..."
"Huh." he heated up with his quirk one part of the metal and pushed against the guy's chest as he steeped on him with one foot... enjoying hearing his screams of pain. "Not as confident as it looks huh..?
.
.
"I couldn't find him and honestly it was for the better. No deaths or prisons were notification so that's how I knew and know he is okay.." you smiled as Dabi clenched his hand on his leg as his breath quickened.
.
.
He tortured the man on that filfh and wet alley... the guy's was with closed eyes, whimpering yet his body still thought to stay alive...
"Last words scumbag?" He arched one of his eyebrows up as he had the burning hot piece of metal right on aim on where the human heart lived.
He gagged on his own blood and coughed... opening one of his beaten up eyes at the sky as he muttered something before Dabi pushed and kicked down the bar of metal... letting the man at least exhale his one last final breath...
.
.
"I met Dabi one week after and the rest you guys know." You leaned back in smugness as they clapped but furrowed your eyebrows when Dabi shuffled his arm away from you noticing how tense he was.
He now remembered... his last fucking word was a name... Your name.
Your brother died by his hands...
"I need a cigarette." Dabi muttered before leaving the room abruptly while everyone stared at him in a mix of worry and confusion.
"Is Dabs okay? gO CRY LIKE A LITTPE BITCH-!" You sighed at Twice's comment before using your quirk to threw the knife at Spinner who yelled when it got stuck on the wall he was leaving against at.
On the balcony Dabi exhaled shakily a cloud of nicotine as he stared at the sky with a regretful look... he killed a member of your family... one you cherished and hoped to see again and believed he was still out there... breathing.
"Never took you for the type to just leave a room to smoke baby." You hugged him from behind and he looked over his shoulder to see you smilling sweetly up at him...
Gosh he felt terrible... should he tell you or be selfish...?
"Hey... are you.. okay?" You started as you got by his side when he didn't teased you back for your comment.
He stared at the cigarette on his hand and sighed before flipping it out of his hand and watching it fall...
"Doll..." he sighed before giving you a one sided painful look "I'm... dammit." He scoffed, burying his half burned face on his forearms... feeling your gentle carres and hugs didn't bringed him any calm like before because he fucking knew what he had done...
"Hey.. whatever it is is okay my prince." You cupped his face on your hand and smiled up at him "Just tell me..."
He furrowed his eyebrows as a wind passed by... his indigo strays of hair flew as he stared in remorse at your face...
"What you told back there..." he sighed before looking away from you as your hand dropped and tugged on his own "(Y/n)... I am.. sorry."
"For what?" You giggled in astonishment "Dabs, it was not your fault my brother got into a fight with Enji! I'm going to find him again as soon as this hero society is collapsed." You smiled but soon it fell when Dabi only brushed his scarred hand on his face and looks as he looked at the city...
"Dabi?" You spike after a few minutes of silence before he muttered, shoulders hunched.
"Remember that night I came back to the bar and had almost half of my staples out? And when you shouted at me I said I killed the motive of me being all beaten up and we started dating?"
"Yeah it was when I admitted my feelings towards you dumbass. What's with it?" You nervously giggled
The way his turquoise eyes locked with you were what hurted you the most. It showed his true emotions... Fear, regret, sorrow... grief...
"Doll... you wont be meeting your brother anymore... he won't come back..." he managed to whisper but soon a shot in his heart was felt by the way your eyes widened...
You took a few steps away from him and he hissed mentally when he stepped closer to you and you only got more far away from him.
"No..." tears started to gather on your eyes as Dabi furrowed his eyebrows and extended his hand towards you only to widen his eyes when you used your quirk to move plataforms of metal to make an escape... far away from him.
He shouted your name when you jumped while using your quirk to get on the ground... running away from... everything as he tried to follow... ignoring the questions from his commurates.
.
.
.
He couldn't even find you since the heroes started to attack...
Hawks was a traitor. This didn't surprised him one bit...
Yet what caught him out of guard was the fact that both Twice and you were... killed.
Jin had at least made it to Toga to speak his last words to her... but you in favor of saving him, got the most hurt.
Couldn't even mutter a word to him as he held your limb body on his arms.
He was sad... but something more consumed him.
Anger. His wrath was enough to keep a smile on his face as he burned the wings of the responsible for his lover's death.
He was a bastard that deserved living on a personal hell... yet, he could at least keep alive to keep the promise of crushing this hero fake society and comply to his lover's words that always made him want to tear up.. but he couldn't due to his condition.
"I love your smile Dabi."

Tumblr media
Adapting to being a vampire wasn’t so hard for Brooklynne. Perhaps because she wasn’t really a vampire, but rather a vampire-fairy hybrid who, aside from being immortal, was as human as she used to be.
She didn’t fear the sun, she ate human food and didn’t have to rely on blood to survive. The hardest part of her transition was that everything was heightened. Her sight, her hearing, her strength
 She was faster than lightning, and, since apparently it was a hereditary talent, she could fly, like her maker. A talent she’d have to learn to control, and a talent which Pam was jealously unequipped with.
To the rest of the world, Brooke was just another mortal, weird like her sister, maybe gifted with telepathy for those who believed in those sorts of things. But to her family, to her loved ones, she was the strongest creature on Earth, and, therefore, the weakest.
Eric’s worry was loud and made him even more unpleasant than before. With other people, that is. He took extra care of Brooklynne, who felt like a little girl again, who wasn’t allowed to leave her house because she’d get too distracted to even remember her own name.
Fortunately for her, Eric could not control her days, which she spent with her sister at Merlotte’s. It had been a week now, since she had become a vampire, and the only abnormal behavior she showed was an extreme appetite. She could not stop eating, and she almost emptied Sam’s kitchen, not that he would ever complain about it.
“Look at you,” Arlene said as she walked behind the bar to grab a bottle of alcohol. “You wouldn’t be expecting a happy event, would you?”
Brooklynne almost choked on her chicken wing and Arlene laughed as the hybrid coughed and wiped the mess she had made.
“What? No!”
“I’m just kidding ya. I know you can’t get pregnant. Not while you’re with that vampire of yours
”
Brooklynne watched the waitress walk away and disappear in the hallway, leaving a wave of disapproval behind her.
“Fuck you too,” she mumbled under her breath.
“What was that?” Sookie asked, approaching her with a plate she put down on the bar.
“Nothing.”
“What did Arlene want?”
“To make sure I knew how much she hates my kind.”
“To be fair, you’re the first and only one of your kind.”
“Wanna join me?”
“No, thanks,” she swiftly dismissed the mere idea, “hey, isn’t Eric supposed to be here already?”
“Yeah. I guess there was an emergency at Fangtasia. He’s not answering my texts.”
“Well, that’s weird.”
“Not really,” she shrugged. “It’s Halloween. He says there’s always some shit happening on Halloween.”
“When did you start using those words?” Sookie sighed. “You weren’t always so vulgar.”
Her sister laughed. “Sorry. I’m just repeating what he said.”
“Anyway, I have to take out the trash before I leave, want me to drive you?”
“Sure, why not? I’ll join you outside.”
Brooklynne finished her plate, then her drink in one go, before leaving some cash on the bar. She walked across the restaurant and exited through the back door. There, she found her sister and Holly talking about Marnie. Brooke rolled her eyes.
“What’s going on?”
“Hey, Brooklynne.”
“What’s up Holly?”
“Oh, nothing, honey. We were just talking about
 well
 we just have a bad feeling, is all.”
“It’s probably nothing,” Sookie waved it off.
“Yeah. We’re just spooked because it’s Halloween and all.”
Screeching tires drew their attention towards Tara’s car who had just parked in a panic. Brooklynne didn’t know if it was the previous spooky talk, or just Tara’s look as she ran towards them, but she was starting to have a bad feeling as well.
“Tara?” Sookie called. “Tara what is it? What happened?”
“She’s back!”
“Who’s back, honey?”
“Marnie.”
“Marnie’s dead,” Brooklynne rolled her eyes. “I should know, I killed her myself.”
“She killed Jesus,” Tara started crying. “I think she’s inside Lafayette.”
Sookie turned slowly towards her little sister, who oddly appeared to stand taller than her for once.
“Don’t look at me, I’m no witch. I wouldn’t know the first thing about getting that bitch out of Lafayette.”
“No, Brooke
 Eric’s not answering his phone.”
If Brooklynne ever doubted her heart was still beating, she sure had the answer now, as it felt like it skipped a beat as she realized what her sister was saying.
“No,” she scoffed in disbelief. “He’d kill Lafayette on the spot.”
“I’m gonna try to call Bill,” the waitress said as she took out her phone.
Brooklynne shook her head, maybe to try and throw the mere idea of Eric being in any kind of danger away, as she took out her own cellphone.
“Bill’s not answering,” Sookie said, now even more panicked than before.
“Eric either
”
“Well, do we know where they could be?” Holly asked.
Sookie took a deep breath as she remembered what Bill had told her earlier: ïżœïżœïżœI’ll be waiting for you at home. My men will let you in.’
“Yes. We do.”
 ***
 Vampires were supposed to heal fast. So fast that they could barely feel pain. Which is why this headache was doubly irritating for Brooklynne. Between the busy minds of her sister, Holly and Tara, whom she was riding with, her own head felt like it was about to explode. Filled with worry and incomprehension, she kept asking herself if she should just get out of the car and run to Bill’s house on her own. She’d already be there.
“You can’t. If Tara and Holly find out you’re a vampire, it won’t be a secret anymore.”
“Who cares at this point? Eric could die any second now!”
“Pam might already be there.”
“If he wanted either of us there, he’d had already called us. Which means he’s in real danger, Marnie is not kidding around, she’s aiming to kill!”
“Don’t remind me. I’m driving you to her!”
“She won’t have a chance to hurt me. She’ll be dead before
”
“You can’t kill her like last time, Brooke. She’s inside Lafayette. We need to trust Holly, she knows how this works.”
“No, she doesn’t, are you listening to her? She’s got a bag full of salt and a mouth full of ‘maybes’. What if she has no clue how to deal with this?”
“Either way, we’re not killing Lafayette.”
“If killing Lafayette is the only way to save Eric, I will do it myself.”
“Are you hearing yourself? You’re talking about killing Lafayette! Our friend! Tara’s cousin!”
“Sorry, Sook. But it’s not a hard choice. Not even a little bit.”
Brooklynne did her best to shut her sister’s disapproving thoughts out of her head, she knew it all already. Of course, she wouldn’t be happy about killing Lafayette. Of course, she’d rather Holly’s plan worked. But if it didn’t, if she had to choose between watching Marnie/Lafayette kill Eric or kill her/him herself, she wouldn’t lose sleep over it. She stopped for a second, a very brief second, and wondered if she’d had thought the same as a human/fairy. If she had been in that situation a month ago, what would she have done? She knew what she would have done. She’d have been too weak to fight off Marnie. She’d have been too weak to save Eric.
She wasn’t going to be weak tonight.
“Any of you got a mirror?” Holly asked as she did the inventory of her Wiccan first aid-kit.
“You ever done this before?” Sookie asked as she handed her a small mirror she found in her purse.
“Goddess, no,” the waitress replied as she shoved the mirror into her bag, next to the salt and the sage. “Usually, I just light a candle and ask the spirits to make sure my boys don’t end up in jail or knock somebody up.”
Sookie could hear her sister scoff and roll her eyes next to Holly, a “what did I say?” echoing inside of her head.
“But so far, that’s worked out okay.”
“Maybe you’re just a good mother,” Brooke mumbled.
“Oh, thanks honey.”
Brooklynne frowned as the mother of two gave her a nervous smile, her lack of faith in her Wiccan religion completely oblivious to her.
“Sook, you can’t let them hurt him,” Tara begged. “If Bill and Eric find out Marnie’s inside Lafayette
”
“I have a feeling they already know
”
Tara stepped on the accelerator. They were only a couple of minutes away. Brooklynne kept trying to reach her maker through their bond, but the silence she was met with only helped widening the pit in her stomach.
Tara stopped the car at the gates of Bill’s property and the four women jumped out of the vehicle, Holly, her bag of magic tricks on her shoulder.
Brooklynne, though she had been patient until then, didn’t even think twice about disappearing on them as soon as she smelled wood and straw.
“Eric!”
She found them tied up together to a pyre, half naked, silver chains around their bare chest.
“What are you doing here? You need to go, now!”
“Are you crazy? I’m not leaving without you!”
“Brooklynne!” Sookie called as she caught up to her sister, Holly and Tara behind her.
“Are you kidding me? You didn’t think to tell us you were a vampire?” Tara started to yell.
“She can’t be, she was at the bar all day long!” Holly said, confused, and a little bit scared.
They didn’t get the time to argue about it any more, however, as Marnie appeared before them.
“As your friend Lafayette would say, what goes around comes around, bitches.”
“I’m gonna kill you, you crazy bitch.”
“You already have,” Marnie replied with surprising calm. “Thank you for coming.”
Marnie/Lafayette raised a hand and waved it once to the left. Brooklynne felt her feet get off the floor and was sent flying across the garden where she collided with a tree.
Eric and Sookie called her name, in useless worry. She was back up on her feet in a matter of seconds.
“Lafayette!”
Tara received a deathly stare from the dead witch inside her cousin, and she gulped.
“
 and Marnie. Please, don’t do this.”
“After all they’ve done to you, you protect them?”
“Killing Bill and Eric isn’t gonna make any of that go away.”
“Revenge will never bring you peace,” Eric told her.
“There can’t be peace until there is justice for me, for Antonia, for all the women you tortured and burned for centuries!”
Taking advantage of the moment, Holly started drawing a circle of salt around the pyre as Marnie had her back turned to her.
“All to repress a magic that’s older and more powerful than your very existence.”
“Marnie, what will this serve?” Bill, who saw Holly and understood the plan, asked, to help distract her. “There are millions of us, more being made every night. You cannot win.”
“I’m already dead, vampire. Thanks to you and your friends, I have nothing left to lose.”
Marnie lowered her head and raised her hands in the air as she casted three more words “incendia of sanctimonia”.
“No!” Brooke and Sookie screamed as they tried to make their way to the now burning pyre. But the fire Marnie had just started only grew bigger as they reached it. Brooklynne dragged her sister away from it as Tara joined them.
“Stop it,” she yelled. “It’s still Lafayette!”
“I don’t care,” Brooke growled as she raised a hand, a blinding light coming out of it, hitting Lafayette/Marnie in the chest, pushing them far away. It didn’t stop the fire, to her biggest disappointment.
Holly finished the circle of salt, joining them back to her starting point, as Marnie sat up, now, neither looking like Lafayette or herself, but with a painted face of some sort of creature.
“Give me your hands, now!”
Hesitantly, Tara joined the three women in a circle, taking the hand of the two sisters in her own. Immediately, they started chanting.
“Spirits who watch over us, friends, family, ancestors, guardians of the gate, with this rite we evoke thee through the veil of Samhain, we call thee forth.”
Again and again, they chanted, keeping Marnie out of the circle, however, doing nothing to stop the fire that was burning the two vampires next to them.
As the dead witch growled and the immortals screamed out of pain, spirits appeared in the cemetery near them, walking the earth once more, to join them in their battle. Sookie kept an eye open on Bill, while Brooklynne focused on Eric, doing her best not to break the circle and jump in the fire herself to get him out of there.
“Marnie.”
The summoned spirits stood in the forest, behind Marnie, calling her, only one, however, getting her attention: Antonia.
“Marnie.”
Lafayette’s face changed back to normal as the painted face of the creature disappeared, Marnie, making her way to the ghost of her former partner.
“My sister.”
“You came back to me
” she said, and the witch smiled. “I knew you would.”
Antonia’s eyes moved from Lafayette/Marnie to the burning pyre, and from where she stood blew out the fire as easily as she would have blown off the candles on a birthday cake.
“Antonia, no!”
Brooklynne didn’t wait one more second as she made her way to her maker, ripped off the silver chains tying the vampires to the still hot death trap. Eric’s knees were too weak and she caught him as he fell. However, no one was there to catch the King, who fell off the pyre and onto the hard ground. Sookie was quickly by his side.
“Are you okay?”
“Crispy.”
“Why the hell didn’t you call me? Or Pam?”
“So you could have burned with me? Not a great plan.”
“Not asking for help isn’t a plan at all!”
Off the pyre and back on the ground, Eric enjoyed the feeling of his burning bare feet on the cold grass. Brooke helped him kneel down.
“What the hell am I supposed to do without you? Don’t you dare die on me now that I’m immortal!”
“I’d rather die knowing that you’re safe, than die after watching you get killed.”
“And I’d rather die than spend immortality without you, so don’t you ever do that again!”
“Alright. I’ll try not to get burned alive by the crazy ghost of a witch again. That I can promise you.”
“Shut up and drink,” she rolled her eyes as she kneeled beside him and offered him her wrist.
The witches were still talking on the other side of the circle, and whatever Antonia was saying, Marnie didn’t want to hear it.
“All creatures have their purpose, even vampires.”
“How can you say that? They murdered us!”
“Their cruelty served its purpose: to bring you and I together. And now I am here to take you home.”
“I’m not finished yet.”
“Oh, yes you are.”
That voice. Brooklynne knew that voice. She turned her head, but whoever it was, she was hidden behind the pyre. However, Sookie could see her perfectly.
“Gran?”
“Holy Goddess.”
“Holy shit.”
Eric released Brooke’s hand so that she could get up and see for herself, Adele, her grandmother, make her way to Lafayette, put her hand in his mouth and reach down his throat. She took out a black fog which she threw away behind her. Once it reached the ground, it turned into Marnie.
“I don’t wanna go. I am not ready. Please!” she begged as she stood up.
“I was trapped between world for 400 years
 lost and driven mad by my rage. I do not want that for you.”
“And what about what I want?! Nobody cares what I want! All my life, I’ve been afraid. And who wouldn’t be? With dead people murmuring in my ears, making me deliver your messages
 making me into a freak! A creepy, pathetic, terrified mess muttering to herself in the corner.”
“But that is not who you are anymore.”
“No. That’s right. I’m not afraid anymore. I’ve got real power now. And you want to take that away from me?” she cried. “You want them to win?”
“Oh, Marnie,” Antonia said as she took Marnie’s face between her hands, “Marnie, can’t you see? Life is pain. But soon, all you have suffered and feared will be meaningless. You will be at peace. But them
”
“
 they’ll be stuck here. Forever.”
“And there is no victory in that.”
A tear or two fell down Marnie’s cheeks as she screamed. “Oh, this fucking sucks.”
“Come on.”
Antonia took Marnie’s hand and led her down to the forest where the other spirits were waiting for her. Adele followed them.
“Gran!”
Sookie and Brooklynne called after her, hoping to make her stay.
“Please don’t go,” Sookie cried.
“I have to, dear.”
“I’m so lost without you. I don’t know what to do.”
“Yes, you do. Look at your sister. She’s got it all figured out,” she said as she smiled, proudly, at Brooklynne.
“Oh, Gran
 I’m so sorry.”
“For what, dear?”
Brooklynne sniffed and shrugged, hoping her grandmother was proud of her, of who she had become.
“Answer’s where it always is. In your heart. Being alone, it ain’t nothing to be afraid of, my girls. We’re all alone, at the end.”
She smiled at them one last time before joining the spirits back to the cemetery and her granddaughters watch her leave them with tears in their eyes.
Brooke felt a hand slide on her waist, and she took it, as Eric pulled her towards him.
“No offense to your grandmother, but neither one of us will be alone at the end.”
Brooke chuckled as she wiped the tears off her face with the back of her hand.
“This is the worst night ever.”
“Well,” he said as he turned her around and wiped one last tear with his thumb, “the night is still young.”
 ***
 Eric had no idea how right he was. Well, maybe he did, a little. He knew what was coming. For him, for Bill. For Brooklynne. They were coming for their heads.
He hadn’t said a word, but Brooklynne knew too. She wasn’t used to being able to read his mind, and it mostly just happened, she couldn’t control it. He was thinking about it, so hard, as he was drinking her blood, in Bill’s living room. She could hear her sister break up with Bill in the other room, and she just wished she could tune them out. Hearing Bill cry made her feel sick.
“Are you sure they’re coming after you too? It wasn’t your fault.”
“They don’t care. I was caught on camera.”
“They destroyed all of that footage.”
“There are witnesses.”
“Glamour them.”
“It’s too late.”
“Then we should leave. Now.”
“And go where? They won’t stop until
”
“Brooklynne.”
The vampire-fairy hybrid turned to see her sister enter the room. Her eyes were red. And wet.
“I’m going home.”
“Okay. I’m staying here, with Eric.”
“You should go with her. There’s no reason for you to be here when
”
Brooklynne shot him a look that told him all he needed to know. She wasn’t going anywhere. She’d save him. Or die trying.
“Have a good night, Sook.”
“I’ll see you tomorrow,” her sister nodded as she waved, before she walked away.
“The AVL doesn’t know I’m a vampire. They can’t kill me. It’s against their own rules.”
“If you get in their way, if you show them what you can do
”
“Eric,” she stopped him, taking a step forward and placing a hand above his, “either we’re leaving town, or we’re staying. But we stay together.”
Eric sighed, defeated.
“Like you said, neither of us will be alone at the end.”
 ***
 Bill was back to being a cold bastard when he joined them in his living room. He sat in an armchair next to them, and they all kept a dreadful quiet as they enjoyed the last hour of their life.
Bill had nothing else to lose. He had just lost the only thing he wanted, the only thing he needed. Without Sookie, he had no reason to live. He wouldn’t fight the Authority, if they came knocking on his door with a true death warrant. Eric thought about his human life. His immortal life. Godric. Pam. Brooklynne. He thought about the life he had and the one he would never get. The life he dreamt of having with Brooklynne, and the one he could never give her. But Brooklynne wasn’t done fighting. She had barely started. She’d use all of her powers to kill them all, if need be. She felt strong enough. She never even took the time to ask herself if she could.
When the cars arrived, disturbing the silent night as they drove on the gravel driveway, they all felt like time had stopped. Like it was all decided, and they would either leave the house alive, or not at all.
Brooklynne suddenly felt like she had forgotten so many things. Her siblings. She should have said goodbye to them. But instead, she let Sookie go without even telling her she might never see her again. She was almost certain Eric was thinking the same way about Pam. But he knew if he had let her know about any of this, she’d had come, and he couldn’t do that to her. She deserved better.
At least, Bill had said his goodbye.
“This is it,” the King of Louisiana said as he straightened his suit.
“It’s been a crazy thousand years.”
Brooklynne scoffed dryly.
“I thought immortality would last longer.”
They followed Bill as he took the direction of the front door. He opened with a polite smile, a smile Brooklynne had dubbed “Bill’s political smile”.
Nan Flanagan was standing on the porch with a handful of heavily armed men and she looked pissed. She looked furious.
“Ms. Flanagan, we’ve been expecting you.”
Eric and Brooklynne appeared behind their king. It somehow seemed to make her angrier.
“Hi, Nan. And gay stormtroopers.”
Eric’s ability to make stupid jokes in moments such as this one was one of the reasons Brooklynne loved him so much.
“Perfect. Two birds, one stone,” she said as she entered the house, taking the direction of Bill’s office, followed by her guards.
Though Eric stayed silent, Brooklynne could feel his relief. Whatever Nan’s orders were, Brooklynne didn’t seem to be included in them.
The couple stepped in the crowded office, joining Bill’s side.
“The Marnie situation has been resolved, if that makes any difference,” Bill said.
“Ding, dong, the witch is dead,” Nan replied with a tone so sharp it would have given the true death to any vampire who got too close. “Yippee.”
“His Majesty showed great leadership in extremely perilous circumstances. You should be kissing his ring.”
“Why bother when your tongue’s already so far up his ass?”
Eric contemplated his options as his desire to kill the bitch grew stronger. Brooklynne was glad he controlled himself.
Nan gestured her guards to close the door and they stood before it, blocking the only exit. Brooklynne looked up at Eric who seemed to be as nervous as she was. This meant nothing good.
“I wish for one fucking night you could experience the litany of bullshit I’ve had to deal with. Then you’d have some idea of how little I give a fuck about your small-town witch infestation, or your whole backwoods kingdom, for that matter.”
“For someone who cares so little, you seem awfully pissed off.”
“Do I, Bill? Maybe that’s because I quit my fucking job!”
“You quit the AVL?” Eric asked, as baffled as Bill was.
“And the Authority.”
“No one quits the Authority,” Bill chuckled nervously.
“Quit, fired, same difference!”
“We assumed we were the ones to be terminated.”
“Oh, there’s been an order issued on your heads.”
Hearing those words, Brooklynne instinctively seized Eric’s hand.
“My last duty was supposed to be delivering the True Death to both of you. Of course, I realized I’d be next.”
She sighed, trying to control her anger. Failing.
“I have been alive for eight hundred and sixteen years. I refuse to be retired like a fat first wife!”
“Let me make sure I got this straight,” Eric said. “You’re mutinying against the American Vampire League and the Authority?”
“And you expect us to join you?”
“We won’t be alone,” she assured them. “There are factions inside the regime who have never been completely on board with the current agenda. Sheriff Northman knows what I’m talking about.”
Brooklynne frowned. So did Bill.
“What’s in it for us?” the Viking asked, undisturbed by the accusation.
Nan laughed. “Aside from surviving the night? How about your little fairy toy over there? And her sister.”
Their silence and cold stares didn’t faze her.
“Oh, come on. The mind reading, the microwave fingers? You didn’t think I knew what you were? There are at least a couple thousand vampires who would do almost anything to get a taste of your blood.”
“They’re welcome to try,” Brooklynne smirked.
In the next second, she had seized Bill’s paper knife and cut the throat of all of Nan’s human guards. Eric had wanted to do it, but she insisted, as it was her sister she was protecting.
“You’re a vampire?” Nan gasped, looking at her like she was an alien. Which
 she was.
“Don’t. threaten. my sister.”
Bill armed himself with the fancy stake that was on display behind his seat, and stabbed Nan who exploded on the spot. There were pieces of her everywhere, the vampires were covered with her blood. Brooklynne took what looked like a tooth from her hair and threw it towards the pile of blood at her feet. She grimaced, then sighed.
“Can we leave now?”
 ***
 Leaving a voicemail to his progeny, Bill didn’t help Eric clean up the mess he had made of Nan Flanagan. Brooklynne stared at the fake window as her maker made sure to get rid of any evidence that would work against them in case of a trial. Though, if they ever got caught, they would not get the luxury of a trial. Their fate was already sealed, killing Nan was just going to buy them a little bit more time. Or so they thought.
As soon as they stepped out of the house, they fell into a silver trap. They were surrounded by a dozen heavily armed men who threw silver nets at Bill and Eric. They both cried out of pain and Brooklynne’s first instinct was to help her maker, but she was quickly pinned against the wall with unhuman strength.
The soldier took off his helmet and stared at her, right in the eyes, as he said: “go back inside, sit down and forget this ever happened”.
Her eyes grew big as she realized he was trying to glamour her. She could see in the corner of her eye that they were taking them away, towards the trunk of their black vehicle. There were too many soldiers there, all wearing protection gear and weapons that could kill a vampire in a second. She did her best to put the loud voice inside her head to rest. It killed her to ignore it, it almost destroyed her to not try anything to help Eric, but she knew if she tried anything, if she showed them she couldn’t be compelled, if she showed them what she really was, they’d either kill her or take her too, and she would never be able to help anyone again.
So, she did as he asked. She went back inside Bill’s house, sat on the first armchair she could find, and watched as they drove away.
She got up as soon as she was certain they wouldn’t be able to see her follow them. She stayed far enough away, running fast, faster than she ever thought she could run. She even tried to fly, but to no avail. She followed them out of Bon-Temps and into an empty road. It was the middle of the night, so there was no one else there, but vampires.
She tried to think of a plan, of a way to get them out that wouldn’t get her and them killed. But there was no way she could free them without alerting the Authority soldiers.
But, suddenly, the black van in which all of the soldiers had gotten into took another road. It confused Brooklynne for a second, until she realized they were probably going back to their base, which meant Bill and Eric were going somewhere else. Somewhere like New-Orleans, to the Vampire Authority Headquarters.
She ran even faster now, so she could catch up to the single car, in which Eric was trapped. She positioned herself in the middle of the road, in front of the vehicle, but far enough away so that they could see her before driving into her. She rose a hand and the brightest light came out of it, blinding the driver. He immediately, out of instinct, turned the wheel, causing the car to roll over three times before it stopped in the field on her right.
She rushed towards the trunk which was already half opened. One kick was enough to open it wide.
“Brooklynne,” Eric breathed out as he crawled out, “what are you doing?”
“Saving your life? You’re welcome. Come on.”
They helped Bill out but didn’t get the time to do anything else as a vampire, whom Brooke recognized to be the driver, showed up behind them, holding a gun, no doubt loaded with silver bullets.
“Who wants to die first?”
Eric pushed Brooke behind him, screaming at her mentally to run the second she can, to not think twice about it. As soon as he turned into a pool of blood, she had to make a run for it.
But he wasn’t the one who exploded into a disgusting pile of bloody body parts.
A woman stood where the vampire used to be a second before, his spine in her hand.
“You, Hayes,” she said, looking down at the pile of blood, “you die first.”
“Nora,” Eric breathed out.
Their savior threw the spine on the ground and shook her bloody hand, trying to get the remaining pieces of Hayes off of her skin.
“I had arranged for our car to be conveniently ambushed when we hit 310,” Nora said, she had a British accent. Our attackers were going to take out my driver there. Unfortunately, wonder woman over here came 12 miles too soon.”
“Um
 sorry?”
“Don’t be. It was badass.”
“Eric, you know this woman?” Bill asked.
“Yes. She’s my sister.”
Brooklynne thought she had misheard. Eric never mentioned a sister. She felt confused and
 betrayed?
“Your sister? You have a sister who works for the Authority?” Bill says, both surprised and suspicious.
“I’m a Chancellor,” she replied proudly.
“I don’t understand,” Brooke said. “If you knew they were coming for Eric, why didn’t you warn him?”
“There was no time. The Guardian wanted Nan followed to make sure she carried out his orders. I saw an opportunity to save Eric, so I took it.”
“So nobody in the Authority knows about your relationship?” Bill asked.
“And they never will. We were only connected through out maker, Godric. And Godric is gone,” she said with obvious sorrow.
“As a Chancellor of the Authority, you’re taking a huge risk,” Bill continued, still not trusting her fully. “Why would you choose to
”
“Because I’d do anything for Eric.”
“And I’d do anything for you,” the Viking said as he took a step forward.
He went to hug his sister, whom he apparently hadn’t seen in decades. She smiled as she hugged him back. Brooklynne thought it would have been nice to know he had someone he cared about so much other than Pam. Though she could understand why keeping their relationship a secret was for the best, perhaps he could have trusted her enough to share that secret with her.
“And,” Nora continued, “because you did what you did protecting us from the necromancers. That we would reward you for it with the True Death speaks volume about how out of step the Authority’s current agenda is.”
So, Nan knew. Nan knew of Nora and of her relationship with Eric. Which meant Eric did keep in touch at least a little bit. Brooke tried to keep her anger to a minimum.
“I’m not alone in this belief.”
“Factions within the Authority?” Bill asked, making the connection with the information Nan had given him earlier that night.
“Mm-mmh,” she nodded. “So, who’s wonder woman?”
Nora looked at the fairy with interest, but Brooke didn’t answer, uncertain of how much she should say. She turned to Eric for guidance.
“Nora, this is Brooklynne, my progeny.”
“A pleasure, I’m sure
” Nora mumbled thoughtfully. “What is she? She smells amazing.”
“She’s
” Eric pondered. “
 complicated.”
“Right
” she said, suspicious. “And I suppose that light is part of the
 complications.”
“What light?”
“The light that came out of your progeny, causing Hayes to drive us into this field.”
Eric looked at Brooklynne with regret. She exposed herself to save him, putting herself in danger.
“Like I said. It’s complicated.”
“Well,” she sighed, resigned to stay in the dark, “’complicated’ is an improvement from that whore you keep around.”
“Nora!” Eric hissed, threateningly.
Brooklynne frowned. Perhaps her contempt for Pam was what kept the two apart for so long. She couldn’t help but wonder if Eric trusted any of them. She thought she knew him, but she just realized she had many, many things to figure out about him still. The fact he kept her true identity from Nora meant he didn’t trust her entirely either, or perhaps, it was just the Authority that made him nervous. But finding out about Nora’s existence that night rose many questions that she didn’t have time to ask at the moment.
“Help me turn the car around,” Nora asked Bill. “Let’s see if it can drive us somewhere safe for the day.”
Eric gestured Brooklynne to follow him and they made their way to the road in silence. She tried hard not to explore his thoughts.
“Why didn’t you tell me you had a sister?”
“We don’t tell anyone we’re related. It’s for everyone’s safety.”
“Okay. Why didn’t you tell her who I was? She thinks I’m a vampire.”
“She saw your speed and strength, she already knew you were a vampire.”
“But you don’t trust her enough to tell her the truth.”
“She works for the Authority. If she ever gets caught for being ‘against the current agenda’ she’ll get tortured and asked about everything that she knows. I told you, you can’t trust anyone.”
“So what? I’m just supposed to pretend to be a vampire now? To sleep all day? Pretend I don’t eat human food?”
“Only around Nora, which you won’t be for long.”
She sighed. “Right. So
 what do we do now?”
“We do nothing. Nora will get Bill and I out of here. We’ll have new identities, we’ll be safer once we get out of the country.”
“What? What do you mean? I’m coming with you.”
“No, you’re not.”
Brooklynne gasped as she took a step back. It felt like a slap in the face.
“The Authority has no knowledge of your existence, there is no warrant out for you arrest, you can go back to Bon-Temps, be with your sister.”
“No! No way.”
“Brooklynne.”
He put his hands on both her shoulders as he looked down at her.
“It’s not safe to come with me. They will hunt me down until they catch me.”
“So?”
“So, you’ll be safer in Bon-Temps. Stay with Pam. I’ll be in touch, I’ll call, I’ll
”
“Eric, I am not going back to Bon-Temps without you. I’m not going anywhere without you. You promised! We promised.”
“The life that’s waiting for me is not worth living.”
“No life is worth living without you, how many times do I have to say it?!”
“Brook-“
“No! I have no life without you, Eric. You are my life. You gave me immortality and you better be sure I’m going to spend it with you. You will not abandon me here!”
“Brooklynne,” he sighed as he brought her to his chest.
He placed a kiss on the top of her head as he hugged her.
“This isn’t what I wanted for you.”
“I know. But it’s better than nothing.”
He backed away and placed his hands on both sides of her face.
“I love you,” he said as dark red tears appeared in his eyes.
She gave him a sad smile. “I love you too. More than anything.”
He leaned over to kiss her. His lips capturing hers like it was the first and last time they would do so. He held her tightly to him, as to stop her from slipping away.
He released her reluctantly, caressing her cheeks with his thumbs, and returning her sad smile.
“Forgive me.”
She frowned. But she didn’t get the time to express her confusion as he swiftly twisted her head, breaking it in a horrible sound that will haunt him forever.
The end
 ?

50. Part 3
Tumblr media
Arriving at the Davenport home, I am nervous to be honest. I mean this could go terribly wrong and Maurice hates me for it, but I am of course being careful, Joy does not mind speaking to me at all “is she asleep still?” getting out of the truck, Marquis wants Reign to be awake but that girl is done for the day she is knocked out “oh not yet, she is tired still” walking around the truck “I got her, I will get her out” Maurice said “come, get their stuff out!” Marquis shouted, waving at these people. I am guess these are the maids or housekeepers, I think but there is a few men here. “what you think?” Maurice said, seeing these Chihuahua’s running out “ugh, god. I hate these dogs” Maurice said, seeing the woman herself. Here she is “welcome Robyn, don’t you look good” I chuckled as I made my way towards her “thank you so much, are you wearing your Sunday best, for me?” hugging her, Joy gave me a squeeze “well it is a good day, it’s good to see you. See someone different faces here” moving back from the hug “same, your home already looks beautiful, I am amazed. I have never seen something so big” looking to the side of me and at Maurice “you have” he said, I scoffed hitting his arm “don’t be so rude” shaking my head, I am guess the rows of cars are Maurice’ “are they yours?” I pointed “yeah, don’t you remember the Porsche?” I grinned, letting out an oh “oh I do, you lied and told me it was your dad’ car, I do remember that. What a day that was, Oh god! Maurice, you had your snapback on and buying sandwich, you called me Bonita and you looked so scared, I remember it all pootie, I do” how can I forget any of that “who would have thought we would be here now, with a baby. We will have to go in the car again, take you around” smiling at him “you two lovebirds, so cute” Joy said, breaking my eyes away from Maurice’ glare “I love you” Maurice pressed a kiss to the top of my head, Joy placed her hand behind my back “come on in” Joy didn’t even say hi to Maurice like at all “hey sweetie!” Joy said finally “hey” Maurice replied back, very cold hi this is, I am sorry but my hi was much more loving “this is so excited, Reign’ first time here too. She will love it. Marquis went out and bought her some toys” going inside the home, it’s so grande “wow!” I said, it’s huge. Like there two huge stairs on either side going up “is that Maurice?” I pointed “that is him, awww. An actual family picture” as soon as you enter there is a family picture “yes, it’s Maurice, Malik and Nalah. When Maurice actually wanted to hold him. He was six here, as you can see from his tan he came back from Spain” look at Maurice’ smile, he wasn’t that grumpy then as a child.
This home is amazing, like I think our home in New York is huge but this, this is crazy and I haven’t even seen it all “so this is the main room we stay in, Maurice can show you the rest, I am sure he does but if you want to find us, here is the room.” Walking in behind Joy “oh my god” I was not expecting that “what do you think?” Marquis asked, he was already stood waiting for us “the picture” I pointed at the wall “its my family” I am shocked to see the picture of us in Dubai, the opening of the hotel “I asked Rich, he was there. He took this picture, look at us” that picture, wow “I am shocked, I mean I made it to your wall” I pointed “is my dad being crazy again” Maurice came up from behind me, he placed Reign’ car seat down “I mean, I don’t know” I didn’t want to say “and we have these” Marquis made his way to the open wood fire place “we have these little framed pictures of Reign-Texas” moving closer “oh wow, ok. That is cute but I think this room is not good enough for Reign, not in that way. But she could hurt herself easily, do you have another room where it’s less dangerous?” I mean the open fire, it’s not it “don’t tell my dad that, he will rip the whole place out” Maurice said laughing “you are right, I would but we can go to another room of course” Maurice shook his head “so now we’re going to have to change the room?” Maurice said laughing “oh be quiet son” Marquis walked by him.
I think this room will be best, it’s minimal “I bought Reign some toys, also a playset she can use” Marquis moved to the side, did this man just buy Reign toys, and a whole ass playset, these workers are having to bring it in “aww you got her a walker too, this is so sweet. She is so spoilt, thank you” I said, “are they good enough?” Marquis said “yes they are, Joy knows. She raised three children of her own” I added, Marquis nodded his head “you know what, so both of you can spend time with her. I am sure Joy knows what to do but spend some time with her, Maurice can show me around. What do you think?” I mean it gives me time with Maurice and them time with Reign “we would love that, if anything we can call Maurice. You can come back” Joy said “yeah do that, it’s her day with both so why not” Maurice grinned at me, either he is laughing, or he is just happy “in her bag, she has everything in there. Her tooth at the bottom is coming through so she will bite and chew on anything so just watch her. I have all her teething things, if she is grumpy then give her something to soothe the pain. Other then that, the toys will be keeping her company, she is going to love it. She will use anything to help her stand up so please make sure it’s safe for her to do but that is it, I think she will be ok” I might as well take a damn tour around the place and also Reign gets to spend time with the nutjob Marquis, I mean it’s nice of him to buy her gifts.
Everything is just huge, like it’s crazy “your dad has all of this for what? I am not being rude but there is nobody here?” I am confused, because right now I am stood in a fucking cinema, this just looks like a cinema to me, even outside it has a whole fucking popcorn maker with all sorts of candy and drinks “well like I told you, we lived somewhere else first, he built this for us. It was his dream home, not only that the home we had. I didn’t like, you know. All glass type of shit, yeah” he walked off, I remember Maurice telling me a story about that, he didn’t like that home much “but yeah, it’s his dream home. You can get lost here but I only remember the rooms I would go too so like, this room and also. You want to see the ballroom? The room we were supposed to get married in?” side eyeing Maurice “you ruined that” crossing my arms across my chest “but then we could have fixed the issues, just got married and done deal. Now this room had held billionaires. I have had many teachings of ballroom dance I have you know” laughing at Maurice because that shit does not shock me, I mean he is a rich boy “sure, how many ladies have danced with you?” this place is huge, and Maurice is walking so damn fast “oh my dad bought this painting in France. Cost him forty six thousand dollars, and it’s trash” these people don’t care for money at all “answer my question!” I half shouted “I feel like I am in a castle, it’s crazy” there is many paintings, it’s amazing “well my dad wanted the entrance to lead up to this” Maurice dragged open the doors to the room, he turned to me “and you are the only lady that matters, if you would like to hold my hand” Maurice said as he continued to walk backwards, holding onto his hand.
This room is beautiful “wow” that is all I am saying, this is just beautiful “may have I this dance?” looking down from staring at the detailed painting on the ceiling “uh yeah” I laughed smiling at him, he pressed a kiss to my hand “see, if we did got married. We would have been here, right about” he looked around him “mhmmm, here. This is where the dance would have happened” I am so amazed right now, I bit my lip and nodded slowly “I can’t dance like that, you know” Maurice put his hands on my waist “you have, remember at my birthday. You can do it, just let me take the lead but you can” placing my hands around his neck “now let’s imagine the music” Maurice began to sway and the sound of his humming with his eyes closed, I think it’s 1 +1. I tried to help along as well but I am not good at this, I will embrace the moment. Maurice opened his eyes laughing, laughing at my failed attempt at this. Placing his chin just on my head “relax” he said “it will happen” I closed my eyes and tried to throw away my worries and soon enough I was swaying to the music, my smile grew. Just as I was getting the hang of it, Maurice moved his hands. Moving my hands from around my neck and twirled me around “now that could have been us” he pulled me into him “I want more” he nuzzled the side my neck “soon, this is what you get. The things love does to you Bonita” he let me go, I am so in love with this man.
I really enjoyed that dance, I want that for my wedding, I am sad that I missed out on that but soon I will have that dance “so this is where I used invite all of my hoes, I used to get blowjobs here and everything” smacking his back “be quiet, open the damn door” he is stupid “I am joking, nothing much in this but honestly. I used to stay here the most, I did not want to stay with Noami and” Maurice pushed open the double doors “fun fact” Maurice turned to me “I have never invited her to stay here, she has never slept here either so you are the first, my one and only lady here” his room is pretty basic, you can tell he never stayed here at all “I just laid my head here and then left to do my thing” his bed looks so nice “looks like my dad got the crib in here already, that man does not wait at all” Maurice sat on the bed “who put the cases here?” I pointed at them “the housekeepers, it’s ok. So what do you think?” walking over to the side table “is this” picking up the photo “Mami” Maurice said “you and Paula? Hasn’t your mom ever seen this? I mean that is sad” look at my baby, he looked so happy “look at your no having teeth ass, so cute. She is holding you like she is her own, that is cute” placing the photo back down “who is this baby?” he has a random baby photo “oh erm, it’s Malik. He used to play about saying I loved him, he left it there and I never picked it up after that. But this is where we will sleep, I mean it’s big but pretty basic” it is a nice room but very minimal “you need to walk me back here because honestly I will forget where this place is” the home is just too big.
I cannot believe I am seeing horses; I am excited to see them in real life “you not see one in real life? Let me get them to bring her closer, she is my favourite” Maurice walked off, I am not about to walk any further because my heels are not made for this at all. This is so beautiful, Marquis has horses in the back, from what I can see he has three but the black one is majestic, and I want to see it up close. Maurice jogged back over to me “he will bring her over, do you know her name? I named her, she is called Tiki” crossing my arms across my chest “Tiki? Why? What a random name, god Maurice. She is beautiful, oh my god” I don’t care, I am stepping on the grass for this. She is the sweetest thing but huge “hey girl, Tiki!” ok I am scared, she is huge but Maurice did not care, he jumped right in hugging her “it’s me girl” I cooed out, she knows him “you can touch, she won’t bite. This is Robyn” she is so beautiful but I am scared a little, reaching my hand up and letting the back of my head slowly stroke her “you are so perfect” I said “you can ride her, if you want?” shaking my head, I am scared to do that “tomorrow, I will prep her. You will ride her, she is fine. Ain’t you girl” I am so amazed seeing this, things like this in Texas would make me want to settle here. I mean to wake up and see this, I could see it “hey, you two!” looking behind me seeing Joy “you want to come and have some tea?” looking at Maurice “you can go if you want, I am going to just see to the other horses, I will be with you” this is my chance to say something, well something “don’t be too long” walking off towards Joy “tea?” I said laughing “yes, Marquis likes his tea. Reign is awake, she was a little diamond, she woke up and whined a little but now she is playing her little heart out” least my daughter is happy “I wanted to ask Joy” I said as we made our way back into the home “did you sign a prenup?” I mean it’s a logical question “I did, that is something I had no choice in that is why Marquis doesn’t like that Maurice is not making you do it” letting out an oh, that is interesting and I can’t wait to hear more.

All of your attention pt1 || Wong Yukhei (f)
Tumblr media
a/n: a very cute anon requested this a while ago. I'm sorry it took so long I was trying to make sure I had enough information on the subject to write about it😅thank you for bearing with me
genre: fluff! cafe!au Its a little dramatic but so am I so..
words: approx. 2.6k
summary: Why would he think ignoring him was something anyone could do on purpose?
☕
"I brought you help," He smiled with all of his teeth, his eyes squeezing shut as he tossed a look back to where he'd left the stranger, the new boy, petting the animals. That was exactly how it started.
Johnny had worked at the puppy cafe for quite a while before you'd been hired and he'd done a number when it came to marketing and advertising the small place, tucked away on the far end of a busy shopping district.
His face helped, he wasn't bad looking; he was actually quite stunning and he was even more charming and friendly once you got over thinking how people really weren't allowed to look like that-- coupled with the visual of his tall frame feeding and caring for small animals and making frappecionos with a towel over his shoulder-- well, you can imagine why there were always people in the store and a small line down the street.
Aside from that he made a mean cup of coffee and kept little cute flyers with him so that even when he was approached randomly or met someone at a supermarket or elsewhere, he'd hand it to them and smile and then they'd come running through the door the first chance they got.
He was sociable and easy to talk to and sometimes he invited his friends to watch him work, which usually consisted of them ignoring him and spending the afternoon playing with cute pups. They were wellmannered and just as goodlooking and made easy conversation with you when they weren't giving their undivided attention to the animals or when you tended to their glasses for refills.
The days when Johnny was off were noticably more quiet and easy going, which you preferred. Sure, you enjoyed his company but when it was busy, it was hard for you to concentrate and stay focused, and most of all it was hard to make out what any one of the customers were saying when there was soft music from the speakers, puppies barking and growling and chatter, with 'ooohs' and 'aaahs' directed almost always toward Johnny.
Oh and the puppies.
Today was no different, save for a few middle schoolers sipping distractedly on iced coffee with two, mild mannered labs sat on the seat next to them, eager for any sort of attention.
You didn't expect Johnny to come in today because he'd called in earlier about his practice running a little late and you most certainly did not expect for him to bring friends. Luckily you were facing the door, cleaning up after Yuki; the toffee coloured shitzu, otherwise you'd have missed the little bell on the door ding and Johnny coming in, followed into the store by another giant boy with the biggest, most endearing eyes and an oversized blue sweater and messy, soft brown hair.
The puppies went straight for the stranger like they'd been waiting for his return (even if you were sure you'd never seen him before) and started licking and wagging excitedly as he ran his hands over them, eyes alight in jovial delight.
☕
Ever since then, the tiny, fairly profitable puppy cafe had had a new addition to its staff. Lucas-- who reminded you so much of Sushi, the doe-eyed beagle mix that always found the strangest assortment of accessories from god knows where around the store and dropped them at your feet-- wasn't much older than you were and probably half as capable. He was a clutz and a little bit of a ditz and you suspected that it was that naĂŻve charm about him that was so endearing to the customers. They never seemed to get mad or impatient with him when he mixed up an order or put a little too much sugar in the drinks and he drew the younger kids in by the boatload. The coffeemaker was his nemesis and the trio of pugs that were brought in by one of the usual customers-- a high school boy with soft smiling eyes and beautiful lashes--named Blondie, Raven And Carmine respectively, always made his life miserable.
You would admit, however that Lucas was kind of cute. His hair was always a fluffy storm, like he'd ran his hands through it too many times in one second. His hands dwarfed the puppies and most of the kitchen appliances and utensils. His mannerisms were also kind of adorable; he mumbled a lot to himself--which you found out when he was training, and only because you'd been looking at him directly. He was asked to make a basic iced coffee and when he moved behind the counter to begin, immediately started the inner and sometimes outer conversation with the appliances. You could read his lips but at some point you'd decided there were multiple languages involved and you wouldn't try to decipher that.
Overall, very cute.
He wasn't however, as articulate or friendly as Johnny; who now spent more time out of the store now that Lucas had begun his shifts more regularly. He'd been a recurring staff member for a little over two months now and during that time, Lucas hadn't tried speaking to you unless he had to and tended to side step you altogether. You hadn't minded at first, you were a little shy about certain things about yourself and it was fine, if only a little hurtful but you weren't going to make trouble unless he was being rude.
You were perfectly content to remain cordial colleges; you each had your routine duties-- he took out the trash and cleaned the dog's sleeping area, you cleaned and stacked chairs on close up and took care of the counter and kitchen area. You both fed and cared for the animals and washed the dishes in peaceful silence-- and you were comfortable enough in his presence to get through the day without major upset. Until one day he broke part of the coffee machine and you'd decided to make the executive decision, after calling Johnny and talking about it for five minutes; to close up shop about an hour early, put the pups away to their little room in the back wih sufficient food and toys to entertain them, and try to fix the machine since it only seemed like the lever had detatched itself in Lucas' all-encompassing grip.
"What do we do?" his hands found their way into his hair as he turned to you when you'd came back, shoving the phone into your apron.
"We can try to fix it, no biggie," You assured the little big baby standing and staring, absolutely distraught. He was truly adorable.
It in fact, was a biggie and before the minute of faux repairing was up, there were more loose parts than you knew what to do with and very little idea of what to do next. You did not want to call Johnny with this information. You wanted to believe you were more than capable of doing this on your own. You were not inept; the coffee machine was Lucas' enemy, not yours.
☕
Some time during the next half hour, Lucas had managed to find a toolbox in the storage room, the cafe had been closed for much longer than you'd have liked and both of you were still no closer to fixing the machine than you'd been when you started. Your patience with the contraption was starting to wear a bit thin and Lucas was visibly agitated-- kind of the first truly negative emotion you'd seen him express.
"This isn't working," you didn't hear the metal wrench clank against the tile countertops, but you did see Lucas plop down into the plushy seat Johnny had purchased at a flea market and stuck behind the counter for 'atmosphere', his full lips pulling together in an exaggerated pout. "Oh geez, its all my fault too."
"Not really." Yes really... "You've actually been doing really great so far," You were not entirely sure what prompted you to respond, honestly. He wasn't speaking to you, but you'd managed to make out what he said and he looked like very much like a wounded puppy. You wanted to at least lessen whatever he was feeling and your heart may have lurched a little when he looked up at you from his seat, eyes wide and a little bit of a smile dancing at the corner of his mouth.
"I mean you put a little too much effort in sometimes but... " you rushed, letting the sentence hang and turning away as your face began to sear, back to your task at hand. If you looked him in the eye again you were sure you would crumble and right now, you wanted nothing more than to fix the stupid machine and get back to work.
There was a beat before you felt movement at your back and spun, immediately met face to chest with Lucas' mass of body.
"You're doing it again," he said crowding your space like it wasn't even yours to begin with. Everything was a blur and before you realised what had happened, your lower back was met with a lever on the machine and you were sandwhiched between the two, confused and flustered. Your most innate reaction was to try to put some space between the two of you. He was much too close; you could practically feel his body through his clothes and your brain was starting to dissasociate with this personal space nonsense. You forced your hands up though, and angled your body away as best you could without impaling yourself further on the now, broken coffee maker.
"Doing what?" you sputtered, trying to keep eye contact with him somehow so you could try to pick up what he was saying but also trying to regain some of your composure. Lucas wasn't having any of it though, completely oblivious to your struggle as he tilted his head to look down at you.
"You're ignoring me. You've been doing it since I got here; I try to talk to you or ask you questions like when we do dishes and stuff because I'm really trying and this is really hard, but you keep ignoring me and I'm kind of hurt and annoyed." His eyebrows furrowed and he was pouting again. You were very hyper aware of all his facial details and not the not so subtle changes in his expression; the unreal process of a frown glossing over his features was kind of mesmerising.
Why was he so... pretty?
He was too close.
Your breath got stuck in your throat and you froze as the implications of what he had said dawned on you. Of course Johnny hadn't told him; he was too kind, too Johnny. He would want your business to be your business. He would let you confide in Lucas on your own like you'd done with him. A very small part of you kind of wished he had told him so you wouldn't have to go through this again now, but you realized that potentially would have been worse than his entrappment. Apart from this being the most he's ever said to you-- well now you knew that probably wasn't true-- you had a good few of reasons to be taken aback.
Why would he think ignoring him was something anyone could do on purpose? Surely he was aware of how large he was; physically and personality-wise as well? This did seem to explain his occasional mild standoffishness and you thought back to all the times your back must have been turned to him and he'd probably tried to say something to you.
Poor kid; he was trying his best and struggling and he was just trying to talk to you or make a friend. You wanted to facepalm but your hands were keeping you alive so you settled for groaning softly. Would apologising even help?
Not if you weren't going to tell him.
You swallowed another groan and attempted again to put some space between you. This time Lucas got the message and took one tentative step back. That did nothing, but it was enough for you to bring a hand up to brush some of your short hair behind your ear, revealing the tan aid you had in today. You didn't usually wear them, but you were kind of glad you did because now you didn't have to focus on explaining, just keeping the anxiety and embarrassment from showing on your face. People very rarely cared, most did however and decided against any type of relationship with you because of it.
"I don't ignore you on purpose," was all you could get past your lips at this point.
Lucas retook the space he'd just barely given you, reaching a hand up and out to you. You held your breath; your first instinct again, to move. Move and then panic although the latter seemed to sprint ahead first. What if he was trying to touch it? You were not an animal. And you were going to  muster some annoyance to tell him off or at the very least move away, but his hand stopped short, grazing your skin, stroking your cheek ever so lightly before he pulled back half second later. He was staring and all that served to do was make your skin hot and your knees waver in and out of stability. This was a very bad idea and he needed to stop looking at you like you were... normal. He wasn't staring at it, although he had briefly glanced, but rather he was staring at you, his eyes settling on yours.
"What?" you tried to keep the anticipation out of your voice. This was killing you. His eyes ran over your face endlessly, what he was looking for you weren't exactly sure. What you were sure of however, was how ridiculously easy it would be to stare at his eyes forever without wanting for anything else. They were so pretty and bare and screamed of his harmlessness. He could probably kill you if he hugged you too tightly and the damage he had made to coffee maker was minimal, but even if he looked like a threat to most inanimate objects and short people, you knew he was harmless. He probably just didn't know his own strength.
"So... you just weren't hearing me?"
You winced and dropped your gaze. This was so embarrassing and talking about it so casually was just making you want to crawl inside yourself. You weren't embarrassed to be hard of hearing, nor were you embarrassed of the aids; you'd needed them since you were very young, and you knew you weren't an anomoly-- there were tons of people like you and you liked yourself because of it, not in spite of it. These conversations were always uncomfortable though because you never knew what type of reaction you would get. You finally grew some balls and slid out from practically under Lucas, sliding across the edge of the counter. Now you could almost breathe again, although now there a was a familiar, Lucas-sized indent in your memory and on your body.
"Yea," you didnt elaborate or offer any types of explanation. Anything that would prolong this conversation was not something you wanted to do right now.
"Oh my god?" you and Lucas jolted, spinning around to where the voice of pure distress had come from. Johnny's large frame shimmied between the beaded curtain seperating the puppy room from the main cafe, his hair hanging low in his eyes and coated in sweat like he'd ran all the way from practice. He wasnt panting, but he was breathing raggedy as he stared between you both, who looked like you'd kick the shit out of the coffee maker and won. Secretly, you were ecstatic that'd he'd come despite you begging him to just let you deal with it. Even without knowing, he was saving your behind. "I thought you said it was just a lever?!"

Event: @i-am-negan-trash 2k Fic Exchange Title: Savior's Tavern Character: Negan TV: The Walking Dead Warnings: SMUT! Photo/GIF credits go to the original maker/owner I was paired with @brexja! “Bloody hell is this shit?” I muttered, lifting the invoice to get a better look at it. An unnecessary purchase had been made, costing the bar five hundred dollars. “Xherries Adult Gifts,” I read aloud. Clicking my tongue as I rolled my eyes, I slammed the invoice down, “Damnit, Negan!” Negan was a good friend of mine and I was the manager of his bar called Saviors Tavern. I had heard about a stag party that he had been planning to throw for his friend Simon, and it seems I found an itemized list of the party favors. Getting up, I decided to confront him, customers be damned. It wouldn't be the first time people had seen us bitch each other out. As soon as I opened the office door, loud, horrible singing assaulted my ears. Shit
 Karaoke night. Which meant that the bar area was packed. Going down the corridor, the bathrooms already had lines, drunk college chicks waiting to fix their makeup. It didn't take me long to find Negan. He was stuck behind the bar, trying to keep up with the drink demands. Feeling kind of bitchy, I decided to stay back and watch him sweat. “Goddamnit Fat Tony! I thought I told you to go get KJ!?” he hollered over the roar of chatter. I couldn't help the snort as I choked on a laugh. Negan's head swung in my direction. He glared, “How about getting your sweet ass over here?” “You have such a way with words,” I said, bending at the waist to go underneath the bar top. Negan turned to the shelves of alcohol and reached for the top shelf vodka, “Bitch,” “Wanker,” “Slut,” he rebutted, grinning. “You're such a fuckin’ douche canoe, ya know that!?” I laughed. He chuckled, leaning down with a shit eating grin on his face, “Yeah, but you love me,” I smacked him with the invoice, “Yeah, well, instead of being a twat, maybe you should go visit Xherries Gifts and find you some love,” “Aww, are you jealous that I didn't get you a boyfriend who knows how fuck?” Ohhhhhh, low blow even for a joke. He knew that I had just ended a six month relationship not too long ago. “Can we get some beers here!?” a loud customer yelled. Both of us turned our heads and spoke at the same time, “Shut up!” “This isn't over Negan!” I hissed, pointing at his face. He laughed, filling a cup. “Who's ready for some goddamned drinks!?” I yelled, making the bar erupt with cheers. I took a bunch of shot glasses, quickly stacking them into a pyramid. Yanking the expensive vodka from Negan, I poured it into the top glass, over filling it so that it would leak into the other glasses. I slammed the bottle down and took out a box of matches. Striking one, I carefully lit the alcohol, setting the liquid on fire. Everyone yelled and cheered until the flames died down. A few paid for the drinks, immediately drinking them and then went on their way. The bar area had cleared pretty quick. “And that, you ass, is how you please a crowd.” I told him. I spund around, grabbing a bar rag and cleaning up the sticky mess that others had made. “KJ?” Negan called out. “No, Negan. Not now,” I heard him sigh, then get back to work. °°°°°° Last call was made at 1:30, which was pretty early. The crowd had thinned out quite a bit for some odd reason, but I was thankful to finally get out of the bar early. “KJ?” Negan called from behind the bar. Scratching my forehead, I turned to him, “What Negan?” He set out two shot glasses and poured some whiskey into them. “Truce?” he asked. I really didn't have it in me to argue with him anymore. “Truce,” I sighed, scuffing my shoes along the way. I hopped up onto a bar stool and grabbed my shot glass. Negan came around the bar, taking his. We clinked our glasses together, throwing back the liquid. I grimaced as it burned going down. “Another?” he asked. I shook my head, “No thanks. I'm driving home.” Negan stared at his glass, his brow pinched, “Listen, about what I said earlier-” “Negan, don't, alright? Just don't,” I whined. “Goddamnit woman! Will you let me apologize!? It doesn't happen every fuckin’ day ya know!” My eyes widened at his out burst, “O-okay,” Negan rolled his neck, popping it, “I was out of line. I'm sorry,” Blinking, I felt shocked that he even bothered, “Um
 thanks, Negan,” He nodded, pouring him another shot and throwing it back. “That difficult to apologize?” I laughed. “You have no fuckin’ idea, Sweetheart,” he growled as the alcohol went down. “Listen, I need to go,” I was about to get down from the stool, when Negan's hand touched my waist. “Wait KJ
 I-” I watched him, quite a few emotions flickering across his face. Raising a brow, I began to get impatient. “Fuck it,” he said, gripping my hair as he leaned down and kissed me. I gasped, fisting his white shirt in my hands. Naturally, I would have pushed him away, but there was something that told me not to. When he pulled back, I licked my lips and bit down on them out of nervous habit. “Negan, we shouldn't,” I whispered. He ran the pad of thumb over my swollen bottom lip, “Why not?” “For one, we work together,” “Not a good enough reason,” “How about, I don't want to?” It was a weak argument at best. I did want him
 bad. Taking his hands, he ran them down my arms and over my breasts. “I call bullshit. Your body is already responding to me,” I squeezed my thighs together. Damn him for being in tune with me! He cleared his throat and stepped back about a foot from me, “If you really don't want to, we won't. You know I'm not like that,” “I know you're not
” I said, tracing the lines on my palm. Gripping my chin, Negan tilted my face up to his, “What's it gonna be, Sweetheart? I'm gettin’ a case of blue balls here,” I snorted. True Negan fashion. I looped my fingers into the waistband of his jeans and tugged him to me, “Yes.” The air changed, becoming electrified. Negan pulled my shirt over my head, throwing it to the side. He then unbuttoned my jeans, pulling off my shoes, socks and pants. I sat there in my underwear, shivering with want. “Hate to say it KJ, but I'm about to ruin this set,” I raised a brow, waiting. He yanked down the straps of my bra, snapping them with ease. The delicate lace that covered me, fell down my breasts, exposing them to the cold air of the bar. Quickly, he ripped my panties from my body, then finished ripping my bra in two. My chest heaved, my eyes closing as I waited for his next move. Negan's long fingers ran across my chest above my breasts, to my back where he stood behind me. He kissed and nipped at the sensitive skin of my neck and his next words set me on fire. “I'm goin’ to pet that pussy and treat her like a lady,” My hips rolled on the bar stool as I ached for some sort of friction. Starting at my knees, Negan dragged his hands up my thighs, were he pulled them apart, exposing me. I held onto his waist, ready for his touch as he continued to talk dirty to me. “I bet that pussy is wet,” he whispered. I swallowed, my body shaking even more. Slowly, he ran his hand down my torso, stomach and to my mound. He purred in my ear as he cupped me, but not fully touching me, “Damp,” he said. It took all I had not to clench my legs together at his touch. “Keep those legs open, Sweetheart,” he said, his middle finger running along the outside of my lower lips. “Christ Negan,” He chuckled, dipping his finger into me. I moaned, squeezing his hips. He groaned, nipping my neck while he dragged his finger through my wetness and circled my clit. “Like a goddamn river,” I rolled my hips, turning my face into his neck as he went knuckle deep in my entrance. “Oh my god!” I cried out. Negan came around me, letting me lean back against the bar. It wasn't the most comfortable, but I was curious as to what he'd do next. When he knelt between my legs, I knew I was in for some teasing. I watched as he spread my lips and leaned in, the tip of his tongue circling my clit lazily. My stomach muscles spasmed, making me jump slightly. Negan laughed, his breath hot on me. Going back in for more, he flattened his tongue, licking me several times before dipping the tip of his tongue in my entrance. He curled the tip, and the sensation made me slap a hand over my mouth as I squealed loudly. With one last lick and a quick slurp, Negan stood and unbuckled his jeans. He released his hard length, stroking himself as he stood between my legs. Negan was panting as he teased my aching core with the head of his hardness. We both hissed as our juices made the friction silky. I watched as he rocked his hips, the seeping head appearing and disappearing between my folds. He was holding back, but the sweat had begun to bead at his hairline. Having mercy, I lifted my hips when he pulled back, letting the tip slide down to my entrance. Negan was so focused on not coming, that he groaned as he sank into me, not expecting to be enveloped by heat. “Fuckin’... shit,” he panted, “Gimmie a minute Sweetheart. You're tight as hell,” I sat up slightly, grabbing the end of his shirt and pulled it up and over his head. Licking my lips, I ran my hands through the hair that covered his long torso. Even down to his happy trail. I took hold of the base of him, wrapping my legs around and gently pulled him into me until he was buried to the hilt. We rolled our hips, his tight, dark curls rubbing deliciously against my cit. As he pulled out, he bent at the waist, taking a breast in his hand. While staring up at me, he flicked and licked at at my hardened nipple before carefully running his teeth over the flesh. My fingers tightened in his chest hair, holding on as I moaned. “Don't you dare stop,” I groaned, my accent becoming thicker. Negan growled, gripping my chin firmly as he sealed his lips over mine in a rough kiss. His hand circled my neck, not squeezing, but holding me still as he started to snap his hips. Our skin slapped, the combined juices from our body making wet, slippery sounds the faster he moved. I could feel the tightness begin to coil as I started to come. Only when I voiced that I was, did Negan apply a slight pressure to my throat. My eyes slammed shut as I held on, feeling him lose his rhythm while he fell off the edge as well. Negan leaned, his hand resting on the bar with his face buried in my shoulder as he lazily rolled his hips. “Fuckin’... fuck!” he panted. “I can't believe that just happened,” I giggled. He laughed, pushing his torso up and holding my hips, “Think you can go again?” I gaped at him, “Already?! Jesus Negan!” “C'mon, you know you want more,” Cheeky shit was right, but damn, let a woman gain some feeling back in her legs! “You are a cocky bastard, you know that!?” Negan licked his lips, “I do love it when you talk dirty, baby!” I don't know where in the bloody hell it came from or what was in that whiskey, but we went at it like fuckin’ rabbits all night. We even slept through the morning, not waking up until after two o'clock in the afternoon. Negan was laid out on the couch, his hardness standing at attention. He watched as I scrambled to find some of my extra clothes. I was stumbling around to say the least, extremely saddle sore. “No! Uh huh!” I said, holding a hand out to him, “There's no way I can go again!” He sat up and stalked over to me, his signature shit eating grin plastered on his face. I yanked up my yoga capris before he reached me, but I was still topless. “What's the matter KJ?” He asked, kissing my neck. I moaned, then hissed when I felt him nip at a tender spot on my neck. I slapped his bare ass, laughing, “You've littered me with hickies, fucked me raw, okay! You have officially ruined me,” He laugh was deep and sensual, “Good to know baby,” Cupping my cheek, Negan kissed me as his other hand went to my breast, gently fondling the soft flesh. I couldn't resist the moan that left me. It was then we heard a loud crash and a couple screams that broke our little love fest. “What the hell!?” We looked at each other and threw on the rest of our clothes. Negan grabbed his trusty barbed wire bat, while I took my nine millimeter. We ran out into the bar area, finding two of our waitresses were fighting a ragged looking man. He was clawing at them, a disgusting gurgle leaving his mouth. He was covered in blood and smelt awful. I raised my gun, but found it hard to get a decent aim with the girls trying to keep him away. “I can't get a shot!” I shouted. Negan ran over and quickly knocked the man upside the head making him fall to the ground. The women ran behind the bar, clutching each other. “What the hell was that!?” I demanded from them. “He attacked Heather, look!” Linda cried. I looked at Heather’s arm and flinched at sight of bone. She was deathly pale and sweating profusely. “Go sit down in a booth and we'll call the cops and an ambulance,” Negan instructed. Linda and Heather cried out, pointing at Negan. I spun around, finding the foul man standing, the whole left part of his jaw hanging on by a mere tendon. He lunged towards Negan. I raised my gun and took the shot, hitting him square in the head. The man, now silent, stumbled back briefly, falling out onto the floor. “What the shit!?” Negan shouted, blood splatter on his cheek. My eyes were wide, my chest heaving. I had just shot a man
 in the head. “KJ?” I could hear Negan call out to me, but my stare was focused solely on the man. “Baby!?” I jumped, then looked at the gun in my hand, “He
 he was going-” “Shhhh,” Negan soothed, running his fingers through my hair. “I
 I'm sorry,” The dam broke and tears blurred my vision. I had just killed a man. “KJ, c'mon baby, don't,” Negan pulled me into his embrace. I fisted his shirt, trying to take deep breaths. I felt like I was going to pass out as I began to hyperventilate. So much for the afterglow.
