*Cake like dessert product*. Is that even real cake?

Supplying cake like products to Militech, Biotechnica and Arasaka is a good enough reason to bomb their trucks if I'm being honest.

But you seem fine with taking orders from suits and elites, so I don't expect you to get it.

I posted your ask to our party's group chat

It's a flipping SUNBUCKS

I don't know why you guys think a SUNBUCKS of all things could be evil ಠ_ಠ

But thanks for making us RP my Netrunner and our Rockerboy arguing again >_>

He wants to break into Sunbucks now

Sunbucks is the ONE nice thing in the hell hole city. If he ruins Sunbucks for my Netrunner, she will sell him to the Scavs ಠ_ಠ

[scarlettohairdye]

YOOOOO I just got an email from my senator (Patty Murray) about the new PERMANENT summer EBT program she helped push through for families with school-age kids who need additional help affording food in the summer! Most of the US is participating*! Spread the word!

SUN Bucks is a new grocery benefit available across most of the U.S. Families with eligible school-aged children can get $120 per child to buy groceries during the summer. SUN Bucks may have a different name depending on your location. Families can receive SUN Bucks on top of other benefits like SNAP and WIC, and children can continue to enjoy free SUN Meals from local meal sites or with SUN Meals To-Go.

If you're already receiving certain benefits, you should already be signed up. If you're not, you can apply directly! Check it out!

CHAPTER II — [Name], The Reckoning

“ HAHAH!!! HAHAHAHAHA!! ”

The haunting laughter echoed throughout the hallway of Teyvat Akademiya Dorms. Obviously, coming from none other than you, yourself.

“ SHUT THE HELL UP, DAMMIT!! I'M TRYING TO FINISH MY FUCKING ASSIGNMENT, YOU DAMN LUMMOX. ” Tighnari screamed, his head peeking out of his dorm room. “ Sorry, man. ” And with that, the door slammed shut.

“ Give me my five dollars, Mona. ” You demanded, with Mona slowly reaching out to her almost empty wallet.

Long ago, you and Mona made a bet. If Alhaitham accepts your confession, Mona will give you ten dollars. But if he rejects you, you give her ten dollars.

But since this one is a special case, Mona will only give you five dollars.

“ Congratulations for getting accepted! Now.. What next? ” Bennett gave you a pat on the shoulder, while also giving you a question. Silence filled the air with awkward tension.

“ To be honest, I didn't plan this far. ” “ GIRL, HOW DID YOU EVEN GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL???!?! ” “ I don't know too. ” “ Lord, save us. ”

“ OKAY, OKAY!!! I'll search up on how to woo a stubborn guy. After that, I'll list it off. Then, I'll physically do it to him and bada bing bada boom, we're a couple. ” You winked, as your friends dead pan.

“ I'll wish you the best, [Name]. You'll need it. ” Kokomi smiled innocently at you, as the rest nods along with her statement. “ THANKS??? BUT WHY ARE YOU SAYING IT WITH THAT TONE?? ”

It was the weekend, so you decided to use your time lazing around searching up on how to woo a man with a personality like Alhaitham's. Sadly, they all sound very hard.

Like... What do you mean ‘ Make sure they have all the facts. ’ ?????

The only stuff you wrote down are;

Let him come to you. Obviously not gonna work 💔

Open up to him.

Be his friend.

Stay flirty.

Focus on your common interests. What interests 😭

Make him laugh.

Be silly in front of him.

Go on adventures together. Wtf we aint dora and boots hell no

IF ALL FAILS, THEN GIVE UP GIRL!!! HE AIN'T WORTH YOUR TIME!!!

You wrote the sentence in bold with massive letters at the end of the list. Who knows, maybe this chance is just pure luck or he just wants to toy around with you.

BUT!

You still have a chance, albeit small, it's still a chance!

And you're obviously taking it.

I mean, what the hell. He has a hot body.

“ I wonder if he's a virgin. ”

Kaveh was just taking his break at the local Sunbucks near Teyvat Akademiya, trying to get away from the annoying roommate of his.

But his moment of peace was disrupted by a single ding from his phone.

✨🌸IF JJK Characters were Yanderes 🌸✨

Charcters:

> • Gojo Saturo

Part 1 / 2 / 3/ ?

about: Gojo coming from his first class from Yoga in an unexpected high spirits , even celebrating with his students.

Warning: increasing of attachment, food poisoning, child abuse and moslty to Itadori :(

A/N: this part is kinda long so i hope you enjoy as i did :))

🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺

Saturo slammed in the class with a bright grin that his students didn't recognize him in first glance, he waved his hands freely a bag in his hand "if it isn't for my dear children who are doing their best~"

it was silent, itadori was the first to break it, "senpai! You're . . You're Sweating" Gojo was indeed bathed in sweat, he area of his armpits almost dripped, he brusted a laugh "That's cause i went to the gym silly~" he brushes it off with his hands as he opened the bag Now Gather Around! I got something for you all! "

Toge, Nabora, And itadori approached, Magumi stood in his place, frowning " you went to Gym afterwards? "

Gojo nodded simply " my back pain eased soo easily! I had to benefit from my fresh new energy~"

" OO is that from Sunbucks?? It smells soo fresh!"

" i smell strawberries— am taking it it, away Yuji!" Gojo smiled as he patted Nabora's head assuring there is enough treat for everyone and even more. he handed each of them a small box with a sticker heart,Nabora stared at him with a raised brow " i can't tell if this a genuine 'thank you' or you plotting to poison us?"

Toge was sniffing his small fruit tart, _just being extra sure —besides him Yuji straight up swallows his strawberry cupcake in a one gulp—

"Ooh ohohoo~ how would i do that to my _own_ students? And after this grateful favor.? " his grin turned sinister slightly, sending chills to them. Yuji still chewing though.

"even with endless calls, banging on my personal door in my very first holiday this week, pushing me on the street at 10 in the morning for a usless Yoga class?"

. . . . . . .

"it was Yuji's idea-"

"HEY-"

Gojo laughed again, this time it filled the room with 'saturo' energy, Megumi' frown deepen "Relaaaax, i won't purposely KILL you even for this 'mistake' , i would have simply squeezed some of my sweat on each of your dessert and cover it up as a lil gift, wouldn't i~"

the room went silent. . .

". . . . .is that's why my cucpake tastes abit salty?" Saturo stood their with an innocent smile before walking pass them to the unsure Megumi

"AH Megumi~ why the long face? I promise you, not to worry about this one, if not for my least annoying student!"

Megumi stared , the small box was glowing with Saturo's glimmering altitude, as if his teacher wasn't struggling those months and it was just a bad dream he had yestersay, the haired raven boy's took his treat carefully " you haven't. . Tried anything illegal?"

" Oo MY why that kind of question? "

" it's not like you. . .enjoying those sort of stuff in one blow"

Toge hummed in confirmation, nipping his tart anyway, Nabora was busy sniffing her cheescake

Gojo's eyes wrinkled at the geunine worry of his raven Student as he wrapped his long arms around his shoudler, taking Megumi off guard and his students squirmed back (except Yuji)

thanks to his infinity barrier, no sweat or smell travelled to Megumi's clean form as he scratched his head playfully, again with the barrier on

" Awww no need to worry about me~"

" am not—"

"— if it calms you down, i didn't want to continue the class, without the teacher who was really REALLY great in her job, i wouldn't have stayed longer, she didn't even 'force' me , do you believe that? "

Gojo let go of Megumi's hair, still he squeezed him closer (not close to his sweat armpit), the childish adult rubbed his chin, pretending he was thinking " i might actually try another class this week. . ." he then turned to look at the dumbfounded Megumi.

"you could join me to see yourself! She is so wonderful~ In her job"

still having his hands on Saturo's strong arm, he frowned again, studying his expression. . . Saturo wasn't faking it, he truely seemed he enjoyed his time. . . In that case and knowing Saturo wouldn't take a "No" as an answer, Megumi stared longer then sighed downwards

". . . in one condition" *he heard Gojo Hum in confusion, as he pointed at his group (excluding Tego who steppd farther) the latter panicked*

" they are coming with me—"

" DEAL!! So you two gotta be ready at exactly 7 am before we leave "Yuji and Nabora squirted even farther, holding eachother hands, witnessing how GLAD Saturo was with this condition.

"But that is even earlier!! " Yuji whined.

" MHM! We should do some warm ups before heading on our way to the yoga ~ "

oh how he enjoyed their pained expression, Nabora stepped away clapsing her hands togther and waving them

" come onn now! I have lots of ugly-face syndrome if i don't atleast do my 8 hours night mask! Don't you know how cold weather affect my sensitive skin!?" she tried her hard to be convincing as she held on sneaky Tego trynna go away 'tell him!!' he flinched.

" i simply don't care~" Saturo sang as he widley waved his hand pointing on the poor quiet boy

" you too are coming!"

a soul left his body as he bent down in the fuming girl's grip " . . . .Fish flakes"

as they began to continue whining to their teacher (Toge just accepted his fate), who went on teasing it's for 'their good' and to be 'more fit'and yes they would as well go to gym so to not turn 'lazy as him', and how he is 'worried about their poor health'.

without them noticing Megumi's poor sturggling to get free in his grip,m, though he stopped to observe (no winning :< ). it was still bizzare how a flip of a switch turned his teacher to his bubbly charcter, though even for a short time, it relaxed the boy's concern frown, as the childish tantrum went on with the unbothered Saturo , secretly his mouth curved upward

perhaps those bad days would indeed pass, after all-

"saw thaat~" Gojo sang whispered, strucking Megumi who turned the frown, he grumbled behind his teeth " please, stop doing this"

Nabora's huge growl interrupted

" YOU'RE DEAD TO ME MEGUMI! "

~ ~ ~ 🌺🌺🌺 ~ ~ ~

• as expected, they ALL were jogging in the streets at 7 am ~after getting forced to wake up at 6—~ and their energy was deadpan,except perhaps Megumi " sensei , is it that far? " he and Gojo were in the very front raw, Yuji holding on toge for support and Nabora huffing her way forward. Saturo told them, their stop at the known gym. They might have recommend the place but had no idea where exaclty would it be, depending on Gojo's memory of directions

The teacher, spread a grin as he simply answered "aha~ we passed it three times already! "

an arrow of shock strucked them all, Megumi dropped a huff, closing his eyes so to not wipe this grin woth his fist " so you lied about misleading directions. . . " a joyful confirming HUM from Gojo.

". . . You are enjoying this so much"

" aaaGhh sensi! I prefer having those salty cupcakes right now, my legs are cramping "

" MY SKIN IS ALREADY DRY!"

" oka okaaa. . . "

• Gojo turned to them still running, making his barrier move him backward as if walking on a machine. fortunately, there were not much passengers "don't lose hope now~ you almost convinced me to spare you~~"

glad that Megumi had started jogging weeks ago as he turned back, pitty kicked hs stomach at their wet forms with hallow eye sockets, another growl came from Nabora. " this is TOO MUCH! You already had your payback, you friking frack basta-"

" ahh ahh~~ " * he wiggled his fingers, the grin growing as he glanced at the clock, it was almost 10, the needed to catch up " we don't wanna miss your first exciting lesson crawling and dirting the mats, No?~"

if breaking down angrily was an expression, Nabora would have got awarded for almost succeeding in it, Gojo then clapped his hands twice announcing a break, as they were about to bent down with breath. The strong winde wooshed over them.

" AAA finally!" Yuji not giving a care in the world, threw himself as a starfish on the. . . . Grass?? Toge followed behind, just more carefully, Nabora went to hold on the long fence that was SUPPOSEDLY, besides them. . Her hand clasped in thin air and she tripped. " what the heck?!"

Megumi was the first one to caught on their sudden teleportation, infront nothing other than. . The gym

" come on now~ you don't wanna embrass me infront my coach~~ " he fake whined making his way to the door, as a young woman approached watching her phone, she wore a white cap, calm blue jumper with huge sport pants.

Gojo simply crossed his arms leaning on the door as she poped her head upwards, his smile spread from hers " Saturo! I just got your message. ." she turned to others who were stand. . Well Megumi, the rest was on the ground ". . My? you managed to—*

"— on time, as promised~" Saturo winked, tilting his head on the door, beaming.

the woman chuckled fixing her cap " well. . Precisely, BEFORE time. . . But am still impressed"

"wHAt " the group growned in one breath, making the friendly Coach jump " did he not tell you?"

they now stared at Gojo who then remembered, he wasn't alone with her. gapping his mouth with a hand on his chest. " whaat??! Before time. .. maan~ we are gonna have to wait. . "

he stated, more dramatically from Megumi's perspective. . _he lied about the time too?'

" ooh it's totally alright! The five of you are enough! Some warm ups before others arrive would do " Saturo's glittering smile fluttered. . . Just a little, as he stared then sighed so LOUDLY, putting a hand on his head

" i would HAVE wished that. . .but as you can see" he waved at his 'students' " the poor things haven't even taken a nap from the excitement to be here~" the Woman still had her smile, confused more as she turned to Saturo.

Nabora ached "we. . .have. . Been running. . All morning. . "

this bought extra points of empathy from the coach, Gojo nodded in agreement, "ooh myy. . Alright. . Then we could spare sometime" .her kindness filled the air as she sent them another of her precious smile, Gojo bent slightly down for anyone to notice just to have a better look, except for Megumi

"Totally agree~ "

.she invites them inside, with a chilling Gojo close by, having his hands in his pockets. Holding a smirk from his little success.

• the time was spent with Gojo chatting with this young woman, causing her to giggle once or twice at his 'charming' humor. Much to the others bliss, they were asleep. again Megumi is left alone observing his teacher's 'calm' persona infront her.

perhaps it was the slight flirt Gojo liked to play along with the woman, he was always famous among the ladies and not seeming so bothered with it, 'so he just woke us up so he can 'flirt' with this stranger?'_ She wasn't that much attractive.. just at average level. . Perhaps slightly above.

'it means, he won't stick with her for long, Gojo wasn't in relationships anyway'

how WRONG the raven boy was

• this 30 minutes break, was the most blessing time Gojo had spent with someone as her in weeks, He was sitting with an arm laid on a chair while the other hand holding on, she was doing simple stretching on her yoga mat, still paying attention to his words.

watching her from this close was a bliss~ he would easily notice how her eyes shone at the mention of the things she liked, how when her lips curves up, his does too. its like any reaction she did, Saturo was controlled under her glamorous effect . he even began copying her stretching as if to go along with her.

that made her smile longer which filled Saturo's heart with glee, it suited her. he could feel his cheeks getting slightly wamer, so he joked about the atmosphere there to cover up his blush.

thank's to the golden step, he knew when to arrive way earlier~ when he managed to take her number, though he wished he could have a good story to it-

"Sweat&chill gym answering, how can i help you?"

"I .. .uh Would like to have the yoga coach number, i am one of the class student. name is Saturo Gojo"

" alright sir, please wait till we get you connected"

Jazz music playing~

sighs~ if it could be just how it's done in the comics~ it was her 'business' number he took, it won't be much longer till he takes her's and breaks this wall of 'professionalism' and know much more.

he managed to list down some of her favourites; as for sports, actors and sweets. Mentally noting what he will buy fir her next time thet meet

and so the class just went smoothly, with an ENERGTIC Saturo, a natural Megumi and dying students. Saturo didn't stop sprinting on their way home.

Gojo couldn't hold his 'fangirling' to Megumi as he asked all of their opinion about the "class" ofocurse.

And ofcurse Nabora would have agreed to attending if it WASN'T in Gojo'a hands, Toge just wanted to throw his slump body on a bed already, Megumi and Itadori showed approval though.

" For REAL??" Gojo asked with such excitement, Megumi said he wouldn't mind attending some of classes sometimes, the teacher was surpsied that Itadori nodded along though

"it was abit too relaxing for my own good. . Though i wouldn't mind it if not my devastated state" He spoke soo FONDLY holding his chin and thinking up, as if reviewing the restaurant's service, it made his teacher proud- " the teacher was sort of hot tho" now, it was soo COMMON for the pink-haired teenager to throw an 'honest' opinion of any kind to his friends, even Nabora if she isn't uncomfortable with it.

Itadori said it soo naturally as if he commented on a poster of a fantasy film.

Gojo stood silent for abit. . Till his smile was brought back " Ah now~ she is twice your age young boy, you wouldn't like for me to call the cops, No?"

" ah?! NO SIR, i apologize" he bowed feeling ashamed.

Gojo chuckled patting his head assuring him not to think much of it. it was an empty threat after all~ mostly~.

The man trusted his students after all ,okay?

you're missing the part where you said it first and i thought you were being a really good friend

[alexr-fightgames]

In CHAOS CODE -NEW SIGN OF CATASTROPHE-, one of the stages features this nice cafe, Sunbucks, which mysteriously has a fish with legs as its logo. Pretty charming.

Really enjoying this game; character designs are cool, the music is great (lots of hype dance music & drum 'n' bass), moves feel good to do. It's super on sale on Steam right now so I thought I'd pick it up and see if it's fun. It's fun, can confirm!

THE LOVE LASTS SOOO LOOOONG

[kimarisgundam]

There's a Sunbucks in your CP Red campaign and your netrunner actually goes to Sunbucks? Wow Kim I'm really disappointed in you.

Good job supporting the corps, mindless consumerism wins again.

Your GM's world building is top notch, Sunbucks is amazing LOL.

You sound just like our Rockerboy 😑. Why don't you go be chooms with him 😑

What's wrong with Sunbucks? Sunbucks uses Real Water in all their products. Plus it's a good spot to meet influencers (Blackmail is my bread and butter, sometimes my Netrunner gets hired by them)

It's also a great place for the team to meet to discuss non-job related stuff! The last time we were there I had to force our Solo to sit, but our Rockerboy refused to go in 😑

He rather shout from outside the shop to participate in the conversation 😑

We got kicked out btw 😑

My Netrunner didn't want to let our Rockerboy participate in the group discussion cos he's being childish, but our Solo kept shouting out what we were discussing so his "bro" can hear 😑

Solo: YO WE'RE DECIDING WHAT TO WRITE ON THE CAKE

Rockerboy: WRITE "CONGRATS ON EATING ASS FOR 25 YEARS"

Solo: HE SAID WRITE "EAT ASS---"

Exec: WE CAN HEAR HIM. WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING IN MY EAR

We got kicked out at gun point by the manager for being irritating 😑

"someone needs to be a barista" the main wen family starring as a st*rbucks equivalent that kept insisting that all the other restaurants/tea shops/etc should have their merchandise on the shelves and also possibly a cafe corner. they have special names for their drink sizes and all their syrup flavors and will snidely correct you if you don't use them

no matter how far we go somehow we always end up back at coffeeshop au. welcome to sunbucks (derogatory)

[yukidragon]

Since its almost Halloween can we get some yandere werewolf Joseph head canons, please?!

Ho, hoooo~ That sounds like a fun little AU right there. I hope you don’t mind if I specifically use my version of sunshine, Alice, for this answer. It might help me get inspired to make another AU short fic for her and Jack... or rather Joseph. ;3

Hmm... lots of ways to take this. For example, I could go with a similar angle I used for my Vampire AU, in that everything is basically the same, just Joseph was a werewolf before he died, which now makes him a werewolf ghost(?) who was released from this cursed VHS prison by Alice.

Buuuut that would be Jack and not Joseph wouldn’t it? After all, he would be in the persona of the character of Sunny Day Jack, so let’s go with the college AU as our basis, shall we? I’m sure that version of Joseph would make a fine yandere werewolf.

BTW, for those of you who haven’t seen it, here’s a picture of Joseph in the College AU that Jambeebot/Sauce drew and posted publicly on their twitter.

A tired but handsome lad, perfect for some wolfy shenanigans, don’t you think?

Just as a quick reminder, please don’t repost any of the pictures posted privately on the Snaccpop Studios Patreon. For just $3, you can get a peek of the good stuff, and that’s cheaper than a cup of coffee like the one Jojo here is holding. You could also consider joining the Something’s Wrong with Sunny Day Jack kickstarter. It recently hit $45,000, so the Nick route was just unlocked!

Oh, and while I’m plugging stuff, why not check out Sunshine in Hell or Sunshine in Another World, my Sunny Day Jack fanfics? I’d love it if you read them and let me know what you think.

Also, I want to remind everyone this series is an Adults Only game, and there’s probably going to be a smutty headcanon or two in the bunch. I mean, we are talking about a werewolf AU. I’m practically obligated to mention knotting at least once.

Oh, before I forget, here’s the obligatory tags for @channydraws and @earthgirlaesthetic.

Thanks for indulging my side-tangent, now back to the headcanons.

I haven’t really touched on the College AU before, but now’s as good of a time as any, just with a little supernatural twist to it. There’s not really any “canon” lore to this AU, just Joseph looking pretty stylish as a college student, so I’m just gonna go crazy and have fun with it. Okay? Okay!

First off, it’s modern day, with cell phones, super fancy coffee drink shops, and obscene student loan debts. Joseph’s family/school life has been shit like in the normal universe, with parents who don’t love him (and probably regret ever having him), but he didn’t run away from home (or if he did, he eventually went back). Instead, he doubled down on his education to get a college scholarship that’ll get him the hell away from his shitty home life and hometown.

Of course, being a student reliant on a scholarship for his funds, Joseph has to work his ass off to maintain high enough grades to keep it. This leads to a lot of late nights, dark circles under his eyes, and a rewards card at the local Sunbucks coffee shop that gets used more than his phone. He gets so much coffee there that the barista even learned how to spell his name right!

The college happens to be the same unnamed college that Alice(/MC), Shaun, and Ian attended. Joseph, being interested in acting, winds up in some of the same classes as the three.

Now, we could say things in this continuity are mostly the same as canon, with Alice and Ian dating at the start of college. This would be when Joseph gets to meet his sunshine while being an ordinary college student instead of a ghost(?) clown actor. Jealousy and love triangles ensue.

But, nah, let’s shake that timeline up little more with some of that werewolf spice, shall we? In fact, let’s rewind the timeline just a little to some events before college starts.

Joseph comes from a pack of werewolves. His parents are still unloving and don’t pay attention to him, but man does being a supernatural creature complicate matters even more. There’s the whole pack hierarchy with alphas and what not (which even Joseph knows is something real wolves don’t do, but then again real wolves don’t transform or have supernatural nonsense going on with them either). You have to be the biggest and strongest to get any power or attention, which is more reason for him to go through a rebellious stage... only this period of teenage angst involves fangs and claws instead of a pocket knife.

So why then, did Joseph not run away from home in this universe when things feel even more isolating for him? He did, but this time it was during a full moon after a particularly rough tumble with his pack. He made it to an area without local wolves of any variety, and on that moonlit night he found himself a ray of sunshine.

Alice’s childhood home has a large backyard that leads into a forest. Being familiar with these woods and with no dangerous wildlife to speak of in the area, it wasn’t at all out of the ordinary for her to take a late night stroll. When she heard a faint whimpering, she assumed it was one of the family dogs. What she found in the dim light of the moon and her cell phone’s flashlight app was a juvenile “dog” with dark chocolate colored fur that had a pretty blue shine where the light hit it.

The poor thing was all covered in cuts, and growled at the strange human approaching him when she got close. Alice felt sorry for it, but knew better than to get too close. Joseph wasn’t exactly happy about being found, and was relieved when she left, only to be surprised when she returned with a couple bowls, one filled with dogfood and the other water.

Joseph figured out her misunderstanding and found it kind of funny. This stranger was treating him as a dog more kindly than his parents or his teachers ever did, speaking soothingly and not getting too close. He snubbed the dogfood because he wasn’t that desperate yet, but he was thirsty after running away so far.

Alice smelled pretty nice to Joseph, really nice in fact. He got closer to her to get a better sniff of her scent underneath the artificial perfumes of her soap and deodorant. She knew better than to move when he got closer, lest she startle him, and he decided to be cheeky and lick her hand when he noticed some cookie crumbs still stuck to her fingers.

What Joseph didn’t expect was that Alice took that as a sign he wanted to be petted. It was startling, to say the least. No one had ever pet him before, not even his parents!

Then again, they didn’t hug him either.

It felt... nice. Far nicer than it had any right to feel, especially after he felt so shitty after getting roughed up by his shitty pack. Joseph melted under the touch and leaned into Alice as she used both hands to put him so gently, his tail wagging for the first time in forever.

Werewolves hid among humanity, but didn’t have much respect for them. Joseph didn’t see a reason to respect humans or werewolves, but this one... this one felt nice, really, really nice. Maybe it was just because of the full moon making him feel more wolf-like and instinctive, but he thought maybe it wouldn’t be so bad to be this human’s pet... at least until he recovered from his injuries. He shouldn’t stay too long in case one of his pack decided to track him down to punish him for running away. 

Alice felt so warm, and Joseph wanted more of her touch. He could’ve cried when she hugged him and called him a good boy.

Unfortunately, such a beautiful moment didn’t last long, as Alice started to cough and she backed from Joseph while covering her mouth and nose. “I guess your owner’s a smoker, huh?”

Joseph never batted an eye whenever a teacher caught him with cigarettes. Their detentions, wagging fingers, and warnings of the danger of teenage smoking never reached him. If anything, their obnoxious lectures just made him want to cut class to light up another joint. It was only when Alice, the first person to hug him in forever, had to put some distance between them so she could breathe did he regret ever picking up the habit.

Even still, Alice brought Joseph back to her house with the intention of taking him to the vet to get him treated in the morning. The family dogs were wary of him, as was expected since they had a better sense of the danger a werewolf posed, but her human family were welcoming. Fortunately, acting friendly enough convinced them that he simply was a very wolf-like breed rather than an actual wolf, let alone a werewolf.

Still, they kept a more careful distance from Joseph than Alice did. They looked him over, and he allowed a few pets, but none of them smelled as appealing as Alice, or cuddled him like she did. Unfortunately, being indoors made it harder to avoid the smell of smoke, so she was forced to keep her distance.

It made Joseph feel a little lonely.

During the night when everyone was asleep, Joseph raided the fridge in a form that actually had opposable thumbs and prowled around the house. He found Alice in her room, but he couldn’t stay long when she started coughing in her sleep. He did linger long enough to notice that she had some fantasy romance novels, a couple of which involved supernatural creatures like werewolves.

Joseph wanted to stay and get to know Alice, but he was a danger to her. Not only would the pack find him if he didn’t keep going, but something as stupidly mundane as a smoking habit was keeping him away from the first person to make him feel warm and cared for in his life.

That night, Joseph reconsidered what he really wanted. He wanted to find a new life, a better life, one with actual love in it. Before he didn’t know how to do it besides forcing his parents, teachers, peers... just someone to finally look at him like a person and not a burden. Now... now there was a chance. He found a ray of sunshine in his dark life. He had a goal to work towards.

Joseph returned to the pack, but not before getting some information he could use, like Alice’s home address and phone number. He would sneak back to watch her from a distance, waiting until it would be safe for him to see her again. He quit smoking, but it would be a while until he stopped smelling of smoke.

One time when Joseph snuck by to see Alice, he saw a scrawny human boy by her side. It wasn’t unexpected - humans spent time with humans, though it did make him feel lonely to see her spending time with someone else when he couldn’t. Worse, was how much fun they were having, laughing, playing around and joking together. They were close.

Then Joseph caught wind of the boy’s pheromones... and hers as well.

The two of them were attracted to each other.

It irritated Joseph, which wasn’t helped by his nicotine withdrawal. Yes, humans were meant to be with humans, and he was supposed to mate with another werewolf and all that bullshit, but fuck that! He hadn’t even gotten the chance to talk to Alice yet, and here was this little toad daring to hug and lust after the first person to show him just the smallest scrap of warmth.

Joseph couldn’t handle it.

Ian had some incidents coming home from Alice’s house where he was stalked by a wild dog or a wolf that chased after him, snapping teeth and growling. However, it would mysteriously only go after him when he was alone and somehow always avoided his attempts at snapping a photo on his phone. On those nights, he wasn’t even truly safe at home, as he would hear scratching at his windows, only to find nothing there, and he thought he heard whispers warning him to stay away from Alice. It made him paranoid and afraid to walk alone when visiting her, and his mom twisted his experiences as being demonic in nature, a warning that he better not have any sinful thoughts about his friend...

It created some distance between Ian and Alice. They were still friends and still close, but he visited her house less often and felt more anxious about his romantic and spicy feelings towards her. This made it even harder for him to gather the courage to ask her out and try to go from friends to something more.

Which suited Joseph perfectly.

It was at least a year after that first encounter that Joseph arranged an ‘accidental’ first encounter with Alice in his human form while she was out and about in the city. Although she kept a greater distance from him as a human than she did as a “dog,” he managed to act cheerful and friendly enough to get her to lower her guard.

The time waiting to see Alice wasn’t spent idly. Joseph had been preparing for that “first” meeting with her, studying more about how to act than he ever did at school, though he did pull his grades up. He stopped acting out, ironically now trying not to attract anyone’s attention in his hometown, so that no one would realize he was sneaking off.

His pack might have hid among humans, but they kept their distance and felt humans were beneath them. They would never accept Joseph’s obsession with one, not unless he became the leader of the pack and changed the rules, or could earn the right to leave the pack, both of which would require him to battle and defeat the alpha.

It was an exhausting balancing act, but worth it to Joseph. He got stronger, pulled up his grades in school, and visited Alice whenever he could. They became friends, and got close enough they exchanged cell phone numbers. He was elated, and the more time he got to know her, the deeper he fell for her.

Joseph did intend to just befriend Alice, he really did, but when she gave him a hug while he was in his human form, he didn’t want to let her go. He wanted more.

He wanted her to be his mate for life.

You know, sometimes werewolf romances have mystical mate bonds, so let’s go with that. It’d be fitting since it’s similar to the connection between Jack and his sunshine in the main universe. Werewolves have one mate for life when they make the mark and all sorts of perks and all those fun tropes.

Joseph did his best to appeal to Alice, and he was thrilled the first time he caught scent of her interest in him - not Ian or someone else, but him! He nearly acted on it right there, but he knew her better by this point. She was shy, took things slowly, and when sneakily prying about her thoughts on romance, he found out that she’d only want to date someone she was friends with first.

Fine, fine, Joseph could wait. He had to take care of his pack’s potential interference anyway. It wouldn’t hurt to secure a good future too if he was going to start a family. Alice did admit she wanted a big family with a bunch of kids in the future, and he was quite happy to imagine having a whole litter of pups with her.

Joseph managed to defeat the alpha by the time he graduated high school. He could have taken over for the pack, but screw them all. He was free, more or less. He had a scholarship, he made sure to enroll in the same college Alice was attending, and he even managed to arrange it so that they would be staying in the same dorm. He wanted to be roommates with her, but the damn school decided that students of the same gender couldn’t stay on the same floor, let alone share a room.

Now that Joseph finally was free, he asked Alice out on the first day of classes, and she shyly accepted.

The fact that Ian just happened to be in earshot at the time really was a total coincidence. Really.

One date led to more, then a relationship. Joseph was the ideal boyfriend, kind, considerate, and very loving. Alice was wonderful to him as well, so cuddly and affectionate. She made him feel so loved and appreciated in a way no one else could.

Joseph swapped out his nicotine addiction for a caffeine addiction, but that was fine. Alice liked the smell of coffee, and although she didn’t really care to drink it, she didn’t mind the taste of it when he kissed her. After a while the smell of coffee would remind her of him, especially when they kissed.

Now that they had gotten this far, Joseph had to gently warm Alice up to the idea of werewolves. She enjoyed horror movies as well as gothic romances, so he had something to work with, getting familiar with some werewolf romance media to show her and talk to her about. It was so romantic how a human and a werewolf could make a relationship work despite all odds, wasn’t it?

Joseph would feel insecure when Alice made friends besides him, especially if he caught wind of any sort of attraction they had towards her. Shaun also had the annoying stink of cat on him. Joseph was quick to make it clear early on after meeting him who Alice wanted to be with, much to her embarrassment.

After all, she hadn’t been expecting Joseph to (gently) bite her neck while she was introducing Shaun and Joseph to one another.

“Joey!” Alice hissed breathlessly as she pushed Joseph back, her face cherry red. “Not here!”

Joseph chuckled, unrepentant as he admired the new mark he left behind on her skin along with the others that made it clear to everyone that Alice was his. “Sorry, sunshine, I just couldn’t resist.”

During a full moon, a werewolf’s instincts are much stronger, which made it that much harder for Joseph to hold back his urge to mate with Alice. He had to take it slowly with her, mindful of her comfort, but oh how she drove him so crazy sometimes. It seemed to get harder and harder to stop when she signaled an end to their make out sessions, but he would never, ever do anything she didn’t want, even if it left him with blue balls and with the urge to tear something apart in the woods to burn off the extra energy.

But all the waiting in the world is worth it for Alice, as far as Joseph is concerned, especially the night she finally, finally tells him that she loves him. He gently pried for it, not as forward or as confident as he would as Jack in the game, but he was absolutely just as giddy and relieved to hear it.

Needless to say, when Joseph reveals the truth about his werewolf nature to Alice, she’s very skeptical, thinking it’s a prank at first. He offers to prove it and shocks her when he manages to actually transform into a wolf, and a rather sizable one at that. Although intimidating and world changing, she quickly accepts this side of him, much to his delight.

Wolfy cuddles, petting, and tail wags follow... then Joseph reveals his hybrid form, with a human physique and wolf features. (It’s not too much different than Bo’s “feed me” form.)

It happens to be a full moon, and Joseph, high off of her love and acceptance of every side of him, gets very affectionate. Though intimidated and very nervous, Alice consents to going all the way with him for the first time. She marvels at how a big and dangerous werewolf like Joseph can be so gentle... and how many times he can keep going.

It was quite the learning experience for Alice. First she learned that her boyfriend was a werewolf, then just how big he is, and finally that she can handle someone of his size without pain with enough loving preparation beforehand. Joseph made sure to shower her with praise through the experience, especially when she managed to take his knot.

Needless to say, the two of them skip classes the next day. Joseph is only too happy to carry Alice around until she can walk properly again, much to her embarrassment.

The mate marking happens either during their first time or afterwards, but, in any case, Alice is consenting to it. After all, it means she and Joseph can be together forever. She’s never felt so happy and accepted before. How can she say no when he’s such a wonderful guy who loves her so much?

Sure, Joseph gets a bit territorial, and Alice always has kiss and bite marks that she can never quite hide when out in public, but that just shows how crazy he is about her. How can she not find it flattering?

Although Joseph’s size and werewolf nature can be intimidating, Alice isn’t afraid of him. How could she? He’s the sweetest, most gentle, friendly, and loving person she’s ever known. The idea that he could hurt anyone is completely absurd!

Joseph is the happiest he’s ever been in his life. He finally has his sunshine, and, someday, they’re going to have a nice home and a bunch of happy pups to call their own. As long as no one tries to get between them, everything will end happily ever after.

If they do, well... this wolf knows how to hunt.
