Trigger Warning: discriptions of a panic attack at the end

Authors Note: Took a while but here it is! As Destination Fear has rebranded for their switch over to youtube as Project Fear if you aren't aware. If an investigation happened on the Destination Fear show I will be using that but as soon as I switch to any Project Fear era stories that title will be used. Hope that explains anything!

A little hinty-poo. That is all the team had asked for and Dakota had supplied.

“Truthfully, we’ve never been to a facility like this.”

The guesses came in with Chelsea thinking it was a church, Alex thinking a bar, and Tanner didn’t even offer a guess before Dakota went on.

“I’ll just tell you guys, honestly–”

Tanner interrupts, “What? Hold on!”

“Oh my god!” Alex comments as Tanner practically shouts over him, “This is a first! This is a first ever!”

Chelsea even looked a bit shocked at her brother’s willingness to give up information about a location. “Okay. Do it!”

“Yeah,” Dakota glanced between the three before he gave them the location hint. “We are going to a haunted school.”

Chelsea instantly broke out in a wail of protest at the thought of returning to a school. “Why are you so upset?” Dak questions’s his sister, directing his camera at her looking at her through the small LCD screen.

“I spent so much on my life at school!” She complained leaning her head back against the window.

Kota grinned, “You really just got done like a year ago.”

“I’m more scared of, like, my memories of school, than I am of an abandoned school.” Alex admits.

Chels points to her brother, “Remember when you got a B in film class?” She teased.

“Shut up!” Dak says as they all laughed. “My high school consisted of me being a nerdy film boy.”

“I always got, ‘Too Talkative’ on my report card.” Tanner admits. “ ‘Distracts others’.”

“Do you guys know who you're sitting with right now?” Chels grins pointing to herself.

“Chelsea was the homecoming queen,” Dakota explained for the camera.

“The presence of royalty!” Alex jokes, faking a bow from his seat next to Dakota. He sits up and glances at Dak before mentioning about his days in high school, “I was pretty much just in the dean’s office.” Tanner chuckled at his friend.

“So you're saying you guys were trouble makers and I was the goody two-shoes?” Chelsea looked at the three guys around her, “And now look at us, we’re all in the same place in life.”

“Yeah, just goes to show you don’t need to try that hard.” Tanner jokes.

“Unless you're Dak, keeping your high school sweetheart.” Alex leans over to nudge Dakota.

Chelsea gasps and looks at her brother. “That’s right you and (Y/N) have been together since high school! Ugh I wish she were here she would have such good embarrassing stories about you.”

Dakota grinned to himself and nodded. “Don’t worry you’ll see her soon.”

The RV stopped and I stood up from the black bench that I sat on waiting for this exact moment. It took a few moment before the door opened and my high school sweetheart and current boyfriend, Dakota Laden stepped down with a grin on his face as he shot the camera at me and waved a hand. I waved back the sleeve of his my sweater fell slightly so it no longer covered part of my hand. He turned around and helped his blindfolded friends and sister from the RV. I covered my mouth to prevent from laughing as the four made a train to walk over. As he parted from them, letting them sit on the bench I previously occupied he came to my side and silently kissed my temple in greeting. After that I went onto the RV with my bag for the night to wait for my que to come out. The production member who had picked me up from the airport had told me about the mystery box that Dakota had set up, in fact I had helped set up the table and box for the event. Now I sat in the passenger side front seat holding a camera that I was given with a tape label over the handle that read my name, given that would be the camera I used for my visit.

I got to observe Chelsea, and Chelsea alone got up behind the box. The first mystery animal was a hedgehog, well four or them. The next was an armadillo, which is such a strange looking animal. The last was a snake. As a handler came to remove the snake Dakota placed a hand on his sister’s shoulder, he glanced to the RV at the same time a crew member opened the door and waved me over.

As I stepped down, out of the RV I could hear Dakota, “Okay but on a brighter note I do have one last surprise for you all. We will not be alone tonight because I have convinced a very special person to join us for her first ever investigation. (Y/N).” As Dakota turned towards me the other three turned as well, their faces lighting up. I waved with a grin as I pointed my camera at them to help capture their reactions to seeing me. They all ran over to greet me and it wasn’t long until rain interrupted us and chased us all back onto the RV to travel the rest of the way to the location, which I only knew to be a high school.

🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆

“So, right now we are going to park and read the packet. To make it clear, (Y/n), you have no idea where we are going correct?” Dakota explains his camera panning over to where I sat next to Chelsea.

I look up from the LCD screen on the camera sitting on the table aimed at Tanner and Alex to face him. “I was told it’s a high school? Which is creepy by the way.” I tried to smile at him but it didn’t quite get past the nerves already brewing from the anxiety of my first investigation.

“Don’t worry little duck, we’ve got your back.” Tanner reached over patting my head which I quickly laughed at and pushed his arm away.

We all got out of the RV and entered this fancy park gazebo area with a fireplace. Alex sat off to the end getting the long shot of the table we sat at, Tanner and Chelsea on one side across from Dakota and myself. A light setup above shined down giving us enough light to read in.

“Alright. I know you guys already know that it’s at a school.” Dakota began glancing between all of us the packet him his hand. “But , trust me, this is going to be a very bizarre one for us.”

Tanner took the packet and opened it up for him and Chelsea to read the front page, the location of the next investigation, “Old Defiance Junior High School.”

“Positioned directly between two winding rivers in Northwestern Ohio can be found the imposing facade of former Defiance Junior High School.” Chelsea read from the packet. “Standing for over a hundred years this three story building shaped the lives of thousands of students. But the school was not the first structure to be built on this land.”

Chelsea passed the packet and flashlight for easier read over to Tanner who took over reading. “In the mid-eighteen hundreds, the town established a high school. The institution operated without incident until 1891, when a scandal shook the town of Defiance to its core. Janitor John Mall was a hardened man who was arrested for helping a teacher bring a 12-year-old student down to the school’s basement. Mall held him tight as the teacher whipped the boy mercilessly, drawing blood.”

I couldn’t stop the look of disgust and scrunch of discomfort in my shoulders at the mentioned incident. Dakota took hold of my hand, running a thumb across my knuckles to soothe my discomfort. “It’s horrible. That poor child.” I muttered.

“That’s disgusting.” Tanner comments looking over to us. He took a deep breath before lowering his head to read on. “The two were turned in to the police by the school’s superintendent. Mall was so angered by the arrest that he launched a complaint of his own against the superintendent. After a lengthy investigation, Butler and the teachers in question were cleared of all accusations. But that did not stop the fall out for janitor Mall.”

Tanner went on to read how Mall was found bludgeoned to death, lying on the railroad tracks with his legs amputated. The railroad tracks in question are no more than 100 yards behind the school. Some believe that he was placed there against his will. The most scandalous things to ever happen in Defiance with no answer as to who did it.

“The truth about what happened that fateful night out by the tracks, is still unknown to this day.” Chelsea reads and looks up.

“Now that is a very bizarre story.” Alex comments and Dak looks at him and agrees.

“Sounds like there’s a lot of sketchy things happening within the walls of this school.” Chels concludes as she turns a page to read more. “Unfortunately, the tragedy at the high school did not end there. In 1902, two young football stars collided head-first on the field. Due to the poor protection of their leather helmets, both boys were badly injured. The boy from the rival school suffered from a fractured skull over his eye and died from his injuries. In 1918, a modernized building was created on top of the same foundation, but the new building did not keep misfortune from its doors. In 1921, the class valedictorian drowned while swimming in nearby Powell Lake. And just eight years later a junior drowned in the nearby river when he fell off his raft.”

Tanner adjusted his hat before he took over the next part of the packet read. Since its shut down in 2018,” - “That wasn’t that long ago” I muttered lowly not wanting to interrupt.- “There have been very few individuals who have dared to venture inside the building. But the few who have strongly believe that there are many spirits that chose to remain long after the final bell tolls. The most active areas include the second floor, home to many different classrooms and the library. And there are numerous shadow figures that dart in and out of classrooms.”

Dakota took the packet next to read. His hand left mine as he took hold of the packet. “The gym, a separate building accessed through the basement..”

“Yeah really creepy dude thanks for bringing us to this place. I’m sure your girlfriend just loves the sound of this place.” Alex sarcastically says, making me nod.

“This place sounds awful. Shadow figures pulling you out of rooms, creepy basements connecting buildings.” I add on as I take the packet from Dak. I licked my lips before I began to read from where he left off. “The third floor, home to classrooms and the study hall. Loud tapping and lockers slamming shut have been heard. The area with the most intense energy is room 312. EVPs of a woman urgently screaming, ‘Get out!’ have been captured, as well as references to fire and burning. The basement, this is where janitor Mall brought a student down to be punished. Mall is a very angry, hostile entity and becomes increasingly agitated when asked about his death.” I look up to the group, “Let’s not do that then, shall we?”

“Screw that!” Chelsea objects.

“We’re going to deal with something that wants to hurt us?” Tanner asks, looking right at Dakota.

“We’ve never really dealt with any sort of spirit like this before.” Dakota explains. “Whoever ends up sleeping alone in that basement is screwed.

I huff running a hand through my hair feeling a spike in anxiety for what this investigation might bring.

🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆

“Class is now in session.” Alex announces as the RV parked out front of the huge high school.

The five of us got out of the RV with our cameras and a flashlight. Dakota walked in the lead to open the door for the rest of us, I stayed right behind him, as the other three commented on the size of the school we were about to spend the night in.

“Welcome to school!” Dak announces as he opens the doors.

Chelsea and I entered first with Tanner right behind us. He looked around at the hallway we had entered into. “This is so weird. All the desks, lockers, papers are still everywhere.”

“Definitely has the creep factor.”

A loud slam behind us caused me to yelp and spin around. “Alex!” Dakota called out his friend who had a small smile on his face. “Just a little test to see if we’re on edge.”

I let out a nervous laugh. “Well I think it’s safe to say we’re on edge.”

With our first look done we set up the gear room on the first floor. From the first floor we headed down into the basement. Dakota once again took the lead but this time I stayed more in the middle with the Laden siblings in front of me with Tanner and Alex behind me. The first look at the basement was unsettling.

“The basement is where Janitor Moll lived and where he, reportedly, abused a student down here.” Dakota reminded as we stopped walking. Everyone was looking around. “When asked, ‘How did your die?’ Someone got the response, ‘I’ll show you.’” On my left, in one of the entrance ways I thought I seen a tall dark figure. Turning my camera towards where I was looking the dark figure was gone and it seemed simply to be possibly Alex’s shadow. I turned back to Dakota as he pulled a device out of his pocket. “I’m gonna have the ovilus on the entire time we’re down here. If janitor Moll is down here he will be able to choose one word at a time and talk to us.” He turns to his sister, “All right Chels, you wanna hold the ovilus while we’re down here?” He passes the devise over and I leaned over towards Chelsea to get a look at the devise now in her hand.

As a group we walked farther into the basement in the direction of the possible shadow figure I had seen earlier. Alex behind me muttered about how creepy the basement was and Dakota prompted for Moll to talk to us using the ovilus. With no response Chelsea directed Kota to lead us to the area where the janitor would have stayed. The room was a bit of a mess but the inspection lead to discovering a crawl space. The moment someone pointed out the crawl space the electronic voice of the ovilus spoke for the first time, “Here.”

“What?” Dakota turned towards Chelsea. She confirmed that the ovilus said ‘here’.

“A lot of people think you’re a bad man. Is there anything you’d like to say?” Tanner comments, my attention was still drawn to the crawl space, this time with my camera facing the same area.

It was silent as they waited for a possible answer. When there wasn’t one Dakota asked another question, “Where you actually as bad as people say? Or was the superintendent trying to frame you?”

Again nothing.

“Who killed you?”

That question got an answer. “Teacher.” The ovilus had answered.

The main four shared their excitement and shock of the answer. “That paints a different picture in my head of what went down.” Dakota admits.

“I don’t think I have ever heard ‘teacher’ come out of the ovilus.” Al comments.

“I have a gut feeling that the janitor knew something that someone didn’t want him to know.” Chelsea says.

“Maybe he did see too much. Maybe he did know too much.” Dak agreed.

“Yeah there is two sides to every story.” I nod turning to face them. “Maybe the janitor wasn’t the bad guy in the first place.” Chelsea adds.

Dakota restates the question if a teacher did this to the entity they were talking with. Although it wasn’t the ovilus that answered. Instead there was a loud thud that came from another room. Alex, being the closest to the doorway quickly went to look. He turned to look at us from over his shoulder, “Dude, I think that came from up the stairs.”

“Let’s go over there.” Dak instructs setting the team into movement heading to investigate the thud we all heard.

Entering the room where the stairs are off of we looked around. Dakota asked for another noise. It was quiet for a few seconds before another thud was heard. This time Tanner stepped into the hall shining his flashlight up the stairs. “That came from upstairs.”

“That sounded like a locker slamming.” Tanner says almost uncertain.

“That did sound like a locker!” Dakota and Alex agreed.

The group went back up stairs and entered the gear room. From there Tanner went over and slammed a locker shut to have a noise to compare what we heard to. It was pretty much confirmed that the noise was from the lockers weather it was slammed or banged on it was definitely from the lockers near the stairwell.

“I just don’t like the fact that it lead us out of the basement.” Tanner comments and I quickly look over to him. “I totally agree.” Tanner nods glancing over at me, “Like, after we were getting some good responses.”

“I mean, it’s said that he doesn’t like to talk about his death.” Alex reminds us softly.

“Or we were getting such good answers that something else didn’t want us hearing them.” Chelsea counters.

“Janitor Moll, was that you up here? Or was that something else, someone else?” Dakota prompts in a louder tone than what we had been talking among our self in.

No answer.

“Were you trying to lead us out of the basement?” Al asked.

The ovilus spoke. Return.

“Like go back down to the basement?” Chelsea questions.

“Why would it lead us back up only to go back down?” Tanner was confused.

As we stood there trying to understand what was happening another jingle like noise could be heard. “Is that coming from the basement?” Dakota asks.

Alex walked over to the top of the stairs and Tanner followed, as did I. As the three of us stood at the top of the stairs listening we once again heard the jingling sound.

“What is that?” Dak wrapped an arm around me as he leaned forward. “It was like metal.”

I let out a soft gasp. “Like keys!”

Once again we descended the stairs into the basement. “I think (Y/n) was right, it sounded like keys.” Chelsea agreed her camera pointed at me. Dakota also agreeing. Tanner even pointing out how a janitor carries a ring of keys.

As we confirm that activity keeps happening where we aren’t Dakota decides to set up a static camera in the basement, first floor, and third floor with a REM pod in front of each camera. With those ‘traps’ set up we walked up to the second floor to continue our investigation.

The second floor was just a creepy as the first. Chairs and desks lined against the lockers in the hallways, books and paper littered around. Stopping about halfway down the hallway once again Dakota lead the charge on trying to make contact. With no answer we enter one of the classrooms. The guys commenting on how untouched everything looks for a school that has been abandoned since 2018. With art still hanging on the wall, piles of books, all the chairs and desks still around.

It wasn’t long before we moved up to the third floor. The floor looked just as abandoned as the previous floors but with less desks and chairs in the hall. Yet is was still so easy to picture the halls still in use teenagers loitering around lockers, rushing to an from classes, lockers jamming or being slammed shut- a noise they may have already heard. Chelsea even commented on it, “You can just imagine all these halls packed with students.” It was something we could all agree with as we strolled down the hallway.

A REM pod was set up as we settled on a spot in the hall. Dakota opened up the line of communication. Alex was stood a bit farther back to get a wide shot of the group, always the camera man. I was somewhere between Alex and Dakota against the locker deciding to film behind Alex since it wasn’t being caught by the other three.

If only we knew the evidence being caught in the basement at that same moment. Buzzing. Running water. The light turning on by itself. All while we were floors above and no one else was in the building.. living that is.

With a seemingly uneventful third floor hallway investigation we headed into room 312, which is said to be where most the paranormal activity is centered around. Everyone seemed to enter the last room on the left, I ended up staying in the doorway, my back to the hallway.

“What exactly happens here?” Alex inquired to document the claims for their footage.

Dakota began to list that people have received EVPs saying ‘Get out’. Or EVPs relating to fire and burning that didn’t quite make sense. Chelsea pulled out the Ovilus by request of her younger brother. As she turned the device on I turned with my camera to peer down the dark hallway towards the stairs feeling uneasy, like someone was watching me. With multiple unanswered questions Dakota asked if the spirit would rather go into the hallway, behind me, where the REM pod was still set up and use that instead.

“If that REM pod goes off I’m getting out of this doorway,” I joked although very serious.

A REM pod did go off but it also happened to be down in the basement. Continuing to beep as the guys ask for a sign of activity. Including when Dakota asked for a sign to leave, but we wouldn’t know.

The ovilus finally went off drawing our attention to the devise. Chelsea looked down at the screen and repeated the word that it had said, “Observe.”

Dakota once again asked if the spirit could interact with the REM pod in the hall but the ovilus spoke. “Rewind.” I gasped softly. To look through all the floors worth of footage would take a long time. Something we wouldn’t be able to do until after the trip.

The group left the third floor, collecting all the equipment, before preparing to split up to sleep alone. It was when Dakota and Alex went to retrieve the basement camera and REM pod that they notice that the light was on. Dakota called for the rest of us. We all traveled down to the basement together to investigate the light being on.

“All of the lights are on down here,” Dakota mentions as he looked around the basement. He looked to the camera and seen the blinking red light signifying that it was still recording. “The camera is still on so we should have caught it on camera.”

Alex went over to the camera to verify that it indeed was still recording as we all fully entered the lightened up basement. Dakota admitted to not even knowing how to turn the lights on and we looked for a light switch. The group tried 3 different switches before finding the fourth, at the top of some utility stares that Tanner tried and successfully returned the basement to darkness. The bad news with the location was that the camera was pointed in the opposite direction and wouldn’t have been able to capture anything on the stairs that would flip the switch.

I feel bad for whoever has to sleep down here.” Dakota comments before we returned to the gear room to decide where everyone is sleeping for the night.

The four scary locations chosen were;

The gym, which we didn’t investigate and was a building all on its own.

The third floor.

The second floor.

And probably the worst being the basement.

Tanner wrote the four locations on paper for the random draw. Tanner drew the second floor. Dakota had me choose for the two of us. Sadly my luck was not there as I pulled out the basement. Alex pulled the gym leaving Chelsea with the third floor. With the locations selected we headed to our sleeping arrangements. Dakota and I headed down to the basement. Dakota set up the cot for me and him to some how share but he also had a sleeping bag just incase.

“How are you doing with all of this so far?” He asked in a soft voice as we both sat down on the cot.

“Good I think. I mean I have this constant feeling like someone is watching me and I have since we were on the third floor but I think its just nerves.” I admitted pushing a strand of hair out of my face.

“Well you’re doing great for your first investigation.” Dak leaned over and kissed my forehead before he pulled and pulled out two masks. Due to the condition of the basement we agreed that masks would be best for our health.

My restlessness lead to me sitting on the floor in front of Dakota and the cot. But still in frame of the set up cameras. My eyes were starting to play tricks on me, or so I thought, as a dark shadow would appear behind Dak occasionally but by the time I had blinked a few times it was gone, so I never mentioned it to my boyfriend.

“I’m really, really regretting taking away everyone’s flashlights.” Dakota admits before getting up and showing the darkness of the room by turning off the night vision. “Ow Dak!” I mumbled feeling something tug at my hair, thinking it was the zipper of his jacket getting caught in the dark. “Sorry, (Y/n).” Dakota quickly turned the night vision back on and sat back on the cot, making it creek.

“Janitor Moll, if you can hear me, in the nicest way possible, I really don’t wanna see you or hear you.

Dak and I made small conversation to pass the time, or pointing out possible noises both too nervous to sleep. I had stood and was now walking with one of the cameras so I didn’t walk into anything. “We’ve been down here for a while now. And it sucks.” Dakota spoke to the camera. “We keep feeling like we’re hearing things. In all directions. (Y/n) is somewhere behind me actually looking for anything.”

With nothing seen I went back to the cot to join Dak. Resting my head on his shoulder I closed my eyes. That was until we both jumped hearing the jingling, the same kind as earlier in the night. We both were not standing facing the direction the jingling had come from. Dak quickly moved for the camera. “Oh my god, I just heard keys!” He spoke to the camera about the jingling being the same as earlier but louder, do to the closer location.

“Hello?” Dak called out. He left my side to walk around the room we were in to investigate but I stayed near the cot. “That was keys right?” He asked.

“Uh huh. Clear as day.” I replied nodding my heart racing in my chest.

“Something is down here and I don’t like it. It came from close to this door or over here.” Dak was still looking around with the camera, no where near me when I heard a breathy sound next to me.

“Dak?” I called unsure of how far away he was to me.

“Yeah?” He replied sounding father away than the breath was.

“Something just breathed in my ear.” I bit my lip hesitating to look in the direction of the breath. I could hear Dakota’s hurried footsteps as he made his way back over to me. “There’s nothing there.” Dak tells me.

I let out a small nervous laugh. “Is..is now a good time to tell you I think I’ve been seeing something in the darkness?” I look up at him barely making out his face in the darkness. Dak took that seriously and instantly talked about getting out of there. As we went to leave I heard a loud knock right behind me causing me to let out a short panicked scream and grab onto Dakota’s jacket. I turned behind me to see a tall looming shadow causing me to stumble into Dakota’s back making him stumble as well. He was able to catch himself and quickly turn around.

Even in the darkness I could tell my peripheral vision was blurring as my breath quickened, my heartbeat pounding in my ears. Dakota called my names sounding miles away. His arm wrapped tightly around my shoulders urging, leading me up the stairs out of the basement.

“Yo!” Dakota called as we entered the gear room his voice sounding as if I was stuck underwater.

Someone replied but I couldn’t hear it over the heartbeat in my ears. My hands felt numb as I gripped onto Dakota’s jacket.

“We’re done!” His voice was so far away as he tried to unfold my hands from his jacket. “Breathe, sweetheart.” As strangled, gasp was choked in and seemed to burn as it forced itself passed the lump that formed in my throat.

“Dude I am so done! (Y/n) having a panic attack.” His voice sounded crisper. He kneeled to the ground in front of me cupping my face.

“Sweetheart look at me, focus to my voice okay?”

My eyes blinked a few times before focusing on his face.

“Can you list five things you see?”

I licked my lips and looked around. “Camera. Desk. Chair. Books. You.”

“Good. Four things you can touch.”

“Notebook. Locker. My jacket. My watch.” I slowly acknowledged the notebook by my foot. The locker behind the chair that my head would occasionally touch. The jacket that felt too warm at the moment. And the watch that vibrated with the reminder to drink water.

Dakota smiled at me. “Three things you can hear?”

“Tanner and Chelsea in the hall. Alex over a walkie. My heart beat.” My breathing had calmed considerably and it no longer felt like a struggle.

“Two things you can smell.”

“Your body spray. Musty books.”

“Very good. And one thing you can taste?”

My brows furrowed at that one. I didn’t really taste anything at the moment. “I think there is a bit of strawberry left from my chap stick.”

Dakota let out a soft laugh as his thumb brushed over my cheek.

“That counts. Are you okay?”

“As long as we leave, sure.”

“I can take her outside while you guys pack up.” Chelsea offered softly as she stepped up next to her brother.

Dakota looked between her and his sister before nodding. “Get her some water too please.”

“I got it.” Tanner spoke up and passed the water bottle forward.

Dak helped me stand and kissed my head. “I’ll be out in a bit. I promise. It’s okay.”

Ashmore Estates pt.3- Alex Schroeder x Reader

word count:3566

warnings: language, fluff, I think that's it

summary: based on season 4, episode 6 of DF. so all credit goes to the crew, the show, and the channel/network. The packet is read, and it's time to start the investigation.

(gif not mine!)

“Sequestered within the never-ending cornfields of eastern Illinois, can be found the decaying remains of Ashmore Estates,” Dakota started. “Opened in 1857 as the Coles county poor farm, it had 30 buildings spread across 260 acres,” He continued. “The day-to-day operation of the poor farm was unmonitored leading to unhygienic and unsafe living conditions. In the 1870s alone 12% of the residents passed away. One such inmate was Joe, a maintenance man for the almshouse. He had been walking back from town when he was hit by an oncoming train. Though a good samaritan carried him back home his injuries were too grave and he passed away,” Dakota explained and your heart sank. It always made you sad, when you heard stories like that, life truly was just unfair and unkind sometimes. “That’s so sad,” Chelsea said. “I was just thinking the same thing. I couldn’t even imagine,” you said and leaned your head against Alex’s shoulder. He squeezed your waist as Dakota read on. 

“But perhaps the most tragic death to occur was that of 5-year-old Elva Skinner in 1880 in a building previously on site. She had been left alone inside while the adults went out to work the farm,” He said and your heart dropped. You knew this was going to be terrible, and it was. 

She had passed away after her dress had caught on fire despite them doing everything they could to help her. Everyone at the table was horrified by the way she died. “What a terrible way to die,” Chelsea said and you couldn’t help but nod. There had been accounts of seeing her and hearing giggling. 

“Dude when we were here last time and we were all in our sleeping arrangements there was a girl giggling that was captured on camera,” Dakota brought up. It all came back to you, you remember watching the footage back and it scared the hell out of you. 

“That, like, puts validation to what happened to us,” Dakota said. “And now going back we have a name to go off of,” Alex spoke. “Elva Skinner,” you repeated the little girl's name out loud. 

The packet was handed to Chelsea and she began to read. “Those lucky enough to stay alive had to contend with truly atrocious conditions. Flies reportedly swarmed everywhere and there was noticeably rotten food prepared for dinner,” she explained and you shivered at the thought. “That’s disgusting,” you said and shook your head. 

“By 1916, the conditions were so appalling that the original buildings were torn down and a new one was built in their place, operating for the next 40 years. It then transitioned to a private psychiatric hospital. Allegedly the most violent patients received electroshock treatments. It closed its doors in 1986,” Chelsea stopped. 

“I forgot how layered this place is,” Dakota said. 

The packet was then handed over to Alex. “The most active areas include The first floor. This floor is active with every kind of paranormal activity imaginable,” he said before holding the packet in front of you. You accepted it from him and began to read. 

“The second-floor green room. A former poor house resident named Mary can be found in this room. People have heard her raspy breaths follow them through the building. She’s known for throwing and knocking over items,” You finished and passed it to Tanner. 

“The boiler room. Joe. the former maintenance man is found here. While he is normally friendly if he feels disrespected, he can become quite agitated,” Tanner read. He was known to not like females in the boiler room, they would get shoved, grabbed, and even have their hair pulled. 

You reached for Alex’s hand and he held yours tightly. He knew you didn’t fare well with that kind of information when it came to an overnight. It made you impossibly nervous, and he always made sure that you were ok before, during, and after. 

There was a man who had actually been thrown across the room after defending the girls he was investigating with. 

Alex held you tighter. He knew how much worry you held for your friends and so hearing that was something that made you very uneasy. You got protective easily, and so it was something you didn’t like to hear. 

Alex picked up the packet and began again. “The third floor. This entire floor is incredibly active, especially by the former electroshock therapy room. Though Elva, the five-year-old who passed away on site is known to play up here there is another unknown entity that grabs people appearing as a phantom mist before disappearing completely,” Alex described. That entity was known to cause scratches and hurt anyone who may be vulnerable when up on that floor. It’s like he can sense it and preys on the more sensitive and weak. 

“We did not know about that phantom mist on the third floor, reaching out and grabbing people,” Dakota said. “What I captured on film looked exactly like that description,” Tanner pointed out and it immediately took you back to that night, and what you had seen on camera. It was terrifying, especially back then when you were completely new to all of this. 

“So creepy, like I have the chills right now,” Dakota said and you nodded your head. “I do too, I remember that so well,” you added. 

“To be honest what you caught there was the reason I wanted to see this location so badly,” Alex admitted. “I have to see this for myself,” He added. 

“I think it’s going to be a jam-packed night. What do you say we load some gear and get going,” Alex suggested and you internally cringed at the thought of staying there again. 

“Let’s do it, dude,” Dakota said and Alex replied, “let’s start this night,” 

You all got up and walked back to the RV to get your gear. “I cannot believe we are back here,” You said to yourself as you looked at the building over your shoulder. “It’s been so long, I wonder if they will remember us?” Chelsea wondered aloud. “I bet they will,” you said and shook your head. You headed into the building for the first time in almost 7 years and it took your breath away. It was like taking a step into the past. You remembered your exact words when you first stepped into the building. 

“Guys I think we’re screwed,” you repeated yourself from 7 years ago. “That’s exactly what you said when we first stepped into this place,” Tanner recalled and you chuckled. “Well, it’s equally as true now as it was then,” you said. Everyone chuckled, and Alex walked over to wrap his arms around you. “Everything is going to be just fine, I promise you. I won’t let anything happen to you. I know you can do it, babe,” he said softly and kissed your head. 

“I hate solos, Al,” you spoke quietly. “I know, but just think when it’s over we won’t have to come back. I know you’re nervous, but I also know how strong you are. You have so much more experience than you did last time, I have full confidence that you can handle this. And if anything happens I’m right here, I’m gonna be right here,” he tried to put you at ease. “Ok,” you breathed out and wrapped your arms around him tightly. You pulled away the slightest bit so that you could lean up on your toes to place a kiss on his lips. Your hands clutched the fabric of his shirt tightly and his rested firmly on your hips. 

You pulled away and softly smiled at him. He smiled back before pressing a lingering kiss on your forehead for good measure. 

“You guys ready to start?” Dakota asked and you looked over at him before sighing. “I’m ready when you guys are,” you said and looked up at Alex as if asking him the same question. He just nodded his head. “I’m ready, let’s go,” he said and grabbed your hand in his. 

“So we just got done setting up the gear room, we are about to jump into solos,” Alex announced and you shifted your weight nervously. “Who’s ready?” He asked. “I am never ready for solos,” you told him. “I’m not ready either,” Dakota followed up. Everyone else agreed, and you chuckled. “See, this is not a good idea Alex,” you said and softly glared at him. “You guys will be fine,” he playfully brushed it off and you rolled your eyes. “This is the worst. And we have no flashlights,” Tanner reminded everyone. Your heart dropped. 

“Tanner!” Alex spoke up. “Yeah?” he asked. You could tell he was not excited at all, and you couldn’t help but feel the exact same way. “Since you won the contest today, and you are a superior athlete, and a strong man,” Alex continued. “Yup,” Tanner said as if telling him to continue. “You win the privilege…” Alex paused. “The privilege,” Tanner repeated. “Of going into Ashmore Estates, first,” Alex finished and your jaw dropped. “What?” he asked incredulously. You could hear Dakota snickering beside you and you slapped his arm. “Why?” Tanner questioned again. “You won the contest. You get to go in first,” Alex shrugged his shoulders like it was obvious. “That’s not a prize, that’s losing,” Tanner said. “Alex that’s just mean,” you said and glared at him. “Well first place goes first right?” he shrugged again and you shook your head. 

“It’s so mean, to let him go in first,” Dakota joked. “You wanna take his place?” Alex asked and looked at him, “No,” Dakota admitted and you chuckled. “This is a crappy prize,” Tanner said and you agreed. “Then pride is your prize,” Alex suggested and you once again rolled your eyes. “Pride is my prize?” He asked quizically. “You are a sore winner,” Alex told him. 

“This literally makes no sense. Did you put any thought into this?” Tanner questioned your boyfriend. “You know-you know what?” Alex slightly stammers. “Go for it,” Tanner encouraged him. “How about, oh, I don’t know maybe you’re wearing the enhanced recorder the entire time,” Alex spat out. “Oh no! I’m so scared. Not!” Tanner mockingly said. “Alright, this is good!” Alex said back. “Perfect,” Tanner retorted. “This is good,” Alex reiterated. “Cool,” Tanner said one last time. “Whatever, you know I’ll just go in there first,” Tanner said and you shook your head. “Stir it all up,” He told you and you sighed heavily. “I mean there you go, that’s super positive of you,” Alex said in mock positivity. 

“Alright, let’s get going,” Tanner breathed out heavily. Before he walked away you went over and wrapped him in a hug. “You got this Tanner,” you said and he smiled softly and kissed your head. “Thanks, (n/n),” he said before taking a deep breath and making his way into the building. “Remember, you’re a winner,” Chelsea called after him. “Biggest winner out there,” Alex reiterated. “Doesn’t feel like a winner,” Tanner spoke up. “You’ve got this!” you tried to encourage him. 

As soon as he was in the building you walked over and smacked your boyfriend's arm. “That was no prize Alex,” you said with a slight look of annoyance. “It was for us,” he shrugged and smiled down at you smugly. You rolled your eyes. “You’re gonna be the death of me Alex, I swear it,” you mumbled and he chuckled before tossing an arm around you and pulling you into his chest. “You love me,” he whispered before kissing your head. “You’re lucky I do,” you said and held his arm that was around you. 

“That I am,” he said and leaned forward to kiss your cheek. 

“Hey, what about us?” Dakota asked with his arms out in mock hurt. “Aww, I love you guys too,” you said and walked over to hug Dakota before kissing his cheek and doing the same with Chelsea. 

“They’re such babies,” she said and you laughed. “They really are, honestly. I don’t know how I put up with him sometimes,” you nudged her shoulder and she chuckled. You all sat at the table once again. You set your camera down so you could grab his free hand and hold it in your lap. Just to hold him in some way. It eased your nerves. 

“That was kinda mean, not gonna lie,” Dakota said and you nodded your head. “He’s right Al,” you said and looked at him. “Are you like mad at him?” Chelsea asked softly. “No. He just won. The prize was not a good one at all,” Alex explained it simply. “Obviously Alex,” you said and nudged his shoulder. “What’s the moral of this story? Don’t win? Don’t try?” Dakota asked curiously. “Just be cautious. Watch your back,” Alex told you. “Oh wow, that’s nice,” your sarcasm practically dripping from your words. “A prize can turn into a surprise, real fast,” Chelsea spoke up and you gave her a tight-lipped smile. “True, true,” Dakota agreed with her. 

“Do you think he’s ok up there?” you asked nervously. “He’s Tanner, I’m sure he’s ok why don’t you check on him if you’re worried?” Chelsea asked and smirked playfully as she handed you the walkie. You rolled your eyes and took it, “I’m not trying to scare him I’m just gonna check on him. But if it does scare him then that’s what happens,” you shrugged and softly smiled. They all chuckled. “You’re too good of a person,” Dakota shook his head and you laughed. “Sure, ok,” you said and stuck your tongue out at him playfully. 

You held down the button for a few seconds before speaking, knowing that it might not scare him since he would hear that. “Hey, Tanner,” you said. “Shit,” you heard him curse and you internally cringed. “Yeah, go for Tanner,” you heard him say and you could tell he was already a bit drained from being in there. “I’m sorry to scare you, I just wanted to check in and make sure that you were ok,” you spoke. “It’s ok, I just wasn’t expecting it. It’s freaky up here honestly,” he told you and you nodded despite him not being able to see you. “Are you ok?” you asked sweetly. “Yeah, I’m ok, just a bit freaked out. I’ll see you in a bit ok?” he asked and you just sighed. “Alright, We’re here if you need us at all,” you said genuinely hoping to ease his nerves. “Thanks (n/n),” that was the last you heard. 

“Are you ok?” Alex asked and pulled you closer to his side. You rested your head on his shoulder and nodded. “I’m ok, just uneasy,” you said and sighed. “I know this may sound weird, but why don't you go next?” Chelsea suggested with a small smile. You looked at her with wide eyes. “What? You want me to pee myself?” you asked in disbelief. Everyone chuckled, “No, I just thought it would be a good idea to get it over with and not have to wait and let anxiety build up even more,” She explained and you let your shoulders fall. 

“You’re probably right, it would just be easier for me to go and get it over with. Gosh, this really sucks Alex,” you said and nudged him. He kissed the top of your head and smiled down at you. 

“Can I talk to you before I go in Al?” you asked him and he looked down at you in concern. “Yeah, of course, babe,” he said and you began to get off of your seat. They all looked at you in worry. “Is everything ok,(y/n)?” Dakota asked and you just nodded. “Yeah, I just wanted to talk to him for a second. “We’ll be right back,” you said and grabbed Alex’s hand. You both set your cameras down before walking away a bit.

“Is everything ok?” Alex asked as he placed his arms around you. “I really am scared Al, what if they do recognize us and something bad happens?” you told him. “What if something grabs Chelsea if she’s in the basement or something and she gets hurt? What if one of you gets hurt? There are just so many what-ifs and I’m scared,” you relayed your fears to him. He looked down at you with a soft gaze. “Hey, hey, don’t think like that. I know you’re scared but nothing will happen. And even if something does, we have each other. All of us have each other's backs, that’s the way it’s always been and I’m sure that’s the way it will always be. So if you need to break down or fall apart, we’re right here. I’m right here,” he said and pulled you in close. 

You wrapped your arms around him and held onto him tightly not wanting to let go. “I just want us all to be ok,” you spoke softly and he leaned down to kiss your head. “We will be,” he said and pulled away from you slightly so he could look at you. 

You moved your arms up and around his neck to pull him down and place a kiss on his lips. He reached up to place a hand on your cheek and you leaned into his touch. He couldn’t help but always want you closer, he could never put his finger on it but something about you was just so endearing. Maybe it was everything?

Just like that, he made you forget where you were, and what you were about to do. He made you feel at home, and secure. That was always the case, he took the fear away even if only for a few seconds. It was just gone. 

Before you knew it you had to pull away, and for a few seconds, you felt like you could breathe. He smiled down at you and pushed a strand of hair away from your face. “Promise, you’ll be here when I get back?” you asked looking up at him with a worried gaze. “I promise you,” he reassured and kissed your forehead. “Ok, ok I’m fine,” you said trying to be sure of yourself. “You ready?” he asked and placed his arm around your shoulders. You nodded your head curtly and took a deep breath. “I’m ready,” you said and he guided you back towards your friends. 

“Hey, you ok?” Chelsea asked when you sat back down.” Yeah, I’m ok,” you smiled softly at her. Before Dakota got to speak Tanner came rushing out of the building. “Woah, Tanner are you ok?” You asked as he quickly made his way over to the table. “I just heard whistling,” he told you, you could hear the shock in his voice. “What? A whistle?” Dakota asked incredulously. “Like on the second floor, I started to hear this faint whistling. There’s no way if I didn’t have this device that I’d have heard it,” Tanner explained and your heart rate picked up. “That’s crazy, Tanner,” you expressed. Alex and Dakota let out a simultaneous ‘what?’. 

“Yes, it was the second floor,” he informed you. “That’s freaking terrifying,” Chelsea said. 

“Dude, I heard it multiple times,” He told you. “Whistling, for sure?” Dakota asked. “100%” Tanner assured him. “Like, it, enough to where it, it, froze me,” He described his experience. 

“That’s super weird because there’s supposed to be a woman, Mary, on that floor. She’s a poltergeist on that floor, she’ll move things around, and other claims are that there is raspy, like, whispering and breathing,” Alex explained some claims from that floor. “Did you go like, approach where it came from?” Dakota asked. “Fuck that,” Tanner stated and you chuckled. “I concur,” you agreed. “See, thank you,” Tanner said and gestured to you and you just nodded at him. “You didn’t go towards it?” Dakota asked again. “I am not exploring this place by myself the entire night. Someone else can take that second floor and do the follow-up,” Tanner said. “I’m proud of myself. I’m calling it quits,” he said and you just nodded. “I’m proud of you too Tanner,” you said and got up to give him a high-five. He instead wrapped his arm around your shoulder and brought you into a big side hug. “Alright, (y/n), It’s your turn. You’re next up,” Alex said and you sighed heavily. 

“This is great, I’m so excited,” you said sarcastically and threw your arms up in mock excitement. They all chuckled. “You’ve got this,” Tanner said and squeezed your shoulder. “Alright, alright fine. I’m going,” you sighed and you got handed the Ovilus. “Bye guys,” you waved and as you walked away you felt someone come up behind you. You turned around to see Alex and smiled. “What? Did I forget something?” you asked. He just leaned down and pressed his lips to yours for a few seconds before pulling away. “Just that,” he said and smiled back at you. You shook your head, “You’re too much sometimes Al, now go on, I have to get this over with,” you said and shooed him away. “If I die, I love you guys!” you called over your shoulder. “We love you too!” you heard them call back. 

“Alright guys, let’s do this,” you spoke and opened the door.

At Your Side -- A Destination Fear One Shot (Tanner Wiseman/Reader)

A/N: Happy Holidays!!! Here’s a new one shot.

Requested by Anonymous | Also found on AO3

The crew and you just wrapped up on the last location of this road trip. With back-to-back locations, you had not gotten much sleep and could not wait to be in your bed snuggled up to Tanner. Attempting to sleep on a moving RV is rather cramped and someone else always seems to take up the big bed in the back, usually Chelsea. Luckily the wait to get back home was not long since the location was only 20 minutes away, and those 20 minutes seemed to fly by in a blink of an eye.

Now the only thing in the way from you achieving a good night's sleep was putting the equipment away. With 5 people, heaving the many cases went rather quickly. With Alex grabbing the last case, you all turned to the house to head back in.

That is when it decided to start raining.

Alex started booking it to the door first, seeing as he had equipment on him, followed shortly by Dakota and Chelsea. You start to go when you feel Tanner stop you.

“C’mon,” he says with a smile on his face, “Let’s enjoy some fun in the rain for once.”

You smile back at him and follow his lead towards the side of the road. There, he grabs your hands and starts to dance with you in the rain. You quickly follow his steps and soon the both of you are chuckling and enjoying the moment. Time passes, you are not sure how much exactly as you were just enjoying the time spent with your boyfriend, he brings you closer and kisses you in the rain.

“Ever the romantic,” you say once you break from the kiss, “This moment definitely belongs in a rom-com.”

Tanner smiles at you with his eyes filled with love before saying, “Glad I accomplished that. Now come on, let’s go inside before either one of us gets sick.”

The two of you run back towards the house and quickly get out of your wet clothes before calling it a night. The two of you settled into bed, cuddling up to one another, and quickly fell asleep.

You woke up hours later feeling cold. You turn to the side and notice Tanner must have gotten up to use the bathroom because his side of the bed was still a bit warm, and the sheets were everywhere. You immediately start cocooning yourself in the blankets to try and get warm. Once you had become a blanket burrito was when Tanner returned.

“Hi,” he says in a soft voice.

You smile at him and get your arms out from the blankets to make grabby hands at him. He chuckles slightly before quickly joining you in bed again. You wrap your arms around him and place your forehead on his shoulder. It felt cool to the touch, and you much appreciated it.

“Love, you’re burning up,” Tanner says with concern in his voice.

“I’m okay” you say in a stuffy voice before being racked with a cough.

“Well, that doesn’t sound good at all. Guess my judgement on when to get out of the rain was off. Sorry to have caused you to get sick,” he says with a guilty look on his face before kissing your hairline.

“It’s not your fault. I think it was a combination of the rain and not much sleep the past few days,” you answer back.

“You get some more sleep, and I’ll take care of you,” Tanner says while getting up and tucking you in.

You nod your head in response, already starting to doze off again. A couple hours of sleep later, you wake up again and find some Day-Quil on your nightstand along with a bottle of water. You quickly take the medicine with the water. As you are about to get out of bed, the door to your room opens and Tanner quickly enters with a bowl of something steaming in his hands.

“I know it’s not homemade or anything special, but I thought I’d make you some chicken noodle soup when you woke up,” he says while handing you the bowl with the spoon already in it before sitting beside you on the bed.

“I’d say it’s special because you made it. Thank you” you smile back before being racked with yet another coughing fit.

Once the coughing fit subsided, you quickly ate the soup, not realizing how hungry you were until that moment. When you finished, Tanner quickly took the empty bowl back to the kitchen before returning to your side.

“Now, can we cuddle? That’s all I really want right now,” you say while making grabby hands again.

“As you wish, love,” he says while quickly pulling you in.

You start to doze off again in the warm embrace of your boyfriend with nothing but a smile on your face. Throughout the rest of the day, Tanner continued to dote on you. Luckily this cold seemed to come and go quickly, and when Tanner ended up catching it, you doted on him as much as he did you.

You Catch Each Other Staring- Tanner Wiseman x Reader

word count:376

warnings: fluff, more of a blurb, sorry guys!

summary: You catch each other staring.

(not my gif!)

“I think you have a staring problem,” Chelsea whispered to you, and your brows furrowed as you turned to look at her. “What?” you asked. “You stare at Tanner all the time, and he’s surprisingly oblivious,” she said with a sly grin. You shook your head, “I do not stare all the time. I stare on occasion but not all the time,” you tried to defend. “That’s a blatant lie,” Dakota quipped and you looked at him in shock. “No, way, you’re in on this too?” you said and sighed. 

A few days went by and you had been trying your best not to stare, and they would chuckle if they caught you even looking. It had begun to get on your nerves and so you decided to ignore them as best as you could. You heard laughing from across the RV and you smiled at the sight of your boyfriend being so happy. You could help but let your eyes scan his face as he laughed and made jokes with Dakota. 

A smile spread across your face as you watched him, nothing else was truly in focus and it was in these moments you realized how lucky you were. “You ok babe?” you heard Tanner speak up and you shook your head. Your head rested in your hand and you just smiled at him. “I’m just fine,” you said happily. Dakota snickered next to him. “What’s so funny?” Tanner asked. “She was obviously staring at you,” Dakota said and you sighed. “Aww, you were?” Tanner asked once again and you blushed softly. “Maybe,” you said and looked away. “Don’t be embarrassed about that, I mean I do it too,” he said and you blushed, even more, knowing he looked at you like you looked at him. 

“You guys seriously got on me about it, what about him?” you said to Dakota and scoffed. “Seriously?” you asked and shook your head. “Wait, what happened?” your boyfriend questioned. “Dakota and Chels teased me about staring, that’s why he was laughing,” you explained. Tanner hit the back of Dakota’s head, and he flinched instinctively moving forward. You chuckled. “You can stare all you want, I mean why wouldn’t you?” Tanner joked and you smiled and shook your head.

"One instinctive thing gets pointed out"- Tanner Wiseman x Reader

word count:1181

warnings: fluff

Summary: "One specific thing you do instinctively in your relationship until someone points it out"

(gif not mine! again random, sorry)

The RV was filled with laughter and soft banter, it was later at night and you were all in anticipation of the next location. It was Chelsea’s pick and you had tried to get her to tell you where you were going but she wouldn’t budge.

She just laughed at how hard you were trying. “You know, the next time you ask me I’m gonna laugh just like you are right now,” you said and pointed at her. It made her laugh even more.

“Dude, you’ve got to stop asking you should know by now that none of us will tell you our locations,” Dakota spoke up. You turned to see a smile on his face. You narrowed your eyes and flipped him off. Everyone laughed and he pretended to be offended, “That was rude,” he said with a wide-eyed gaze. “Shut up,” you said with a laugh and rolled your eyes. Tanner chuckled and kissed your head. “You’re crazy, babe,” he said quietly. You looked up at him with a raised brow, “Oh really?” you asked. He nodded his head, “Tell me something I don’t know,” you said with a huff. He laughed and threw his arm around your shoulders pulling you closer to his side. You let your head rest on his shoulder with a smile on your face.

You had been really sleepy all day and Tanner could tell. He reached over and grabbed your hand, lacing your fingers together. “You look exhausted (y/n),” Alex pointed out your drowsiness. “I am really sleepy,” you confirmed his assumption. “It’s late why don’t you go get some sleep?” Chelsea suggested. You looked over at her and smiled, “No, it’s ok I want to be with you guys,” you said and waved her off. Tanner looked down at you and saw the bags under your eyes. “(y/n), I really think it’s a good idea for you to get some sleep. You look so tired babe,” he said and ran his free hand over your hair gently tugging at the end of some strands. He always played with your hair when you were trying to get comfortable or when you were tired to get you to fall asleep. It was just a natural action that he practiced almost every night without even thinking about it. He would play with your hair when you were anxious or uncomfortable in a situation and he wanted to calm you down.

Everyone had seemed to notice it more recently while being on the road.

The feeling of his hand in your hair was making you sleepy. You looked up at him with a tired grin, “Will you be there soon?” you asked quietly. “Promise,” he said and kissed your head. “Are you guys sure that it’s alright with you?” you asked. They all nodded. “Of course, it is. You looked exhausted, go get some sleep,” Dakota said. You looked at everyone and nodded your head. “Alright, I will. Well, goodnight you guys I’ll see you tomorrow,” you said and got up. You wished everyone goodnight before walking away. You got ready for bed and when your head hit the pillow it took you a while to get yourself to sleep. You didn’t know why you were struggling to stay asleep, but you were. You sighed heavily and turned to face the wall, shutting your eyes once again and trying to fall back to sleep.

A while later you heard shuffling and felt the bed dip. A small smile placed itself on your lips and you turned to face your boyfriend. You shuffled closer to him, threw your arm across his waist, and placed your head on his chest. “You're awake?” he asked softly. You nodded your head and held him tighter. “What’s wrong?” he asked as his hand ultimately made its way to your hair just as it always did at night. “I don’t know,” you said with sleep lacing your words. “What can I do?” he asked as he continued to instinctively twirl your hair in his fingers. “Just be here,” you said and let your eyes flutter shut. The feeling of his hand in your hair and his warmth was enough to get your eyes to stay shut, and the feeling of his breathing was enough to put you to sleep. He felt your breathing even out and smiled before letting his eyes shut, and falling asleep.

It was the day after your next overnight and you were extremely tired. You sat next to Tanner with your head on his shoulder, and your hand holding his. He looked down at you and wrapped his arm around your shoulders. He let his hand reach up to run through your hair, you sighed sleepily and squeezed his hand. He smiled and kissed your head, “Sleepy?” he asked quietly. He knew you had had a rough night and knew you needed your rest. You nodded your head and curled further into his side. Chelsea smiled at the sight in front of her, and once again she noticed his hand in your hair twisting and twirling it around his fingers. She could see you getting sleepier and sleepier by the second.

The feeling of his hand in your hair made your eyes flutter shut and your body begin to relax. The slight tug on the ends of your hair had become so soothing that you couldn’t help but be relaxed when he would do that. He just knew to do it, it wasn’t completely thought out it was just a natural thing to do. It became routine, and just a constant in everyday life for you two.

Eventually, you fell asleep and he continued to let his fingers run through your hair.

“She falls asleep pretty fast when you do that doesn’t she?” Dakota asked as he looked at the two of you. “Huh?” Tanner asked and looked at him in slight confusion. “When you play with her hair. She’s out like a light,” Dakota explained. “Oh, yeah, I guess so,” he said and softly shrugged trying not to wake you up. “I mean every time you play with her hair she either falls asleep or looks like she’s about to,” Chelsea said and Alex nodded in agreement. “It does help her sleep,” he said and chuckled softly at the thought. He looked down at you with a smile on his face.

“Like, she just relaxes so much it’s insane. You do that during packet reads sometimes did you know?” Dakota asked. “No, I don’t really notice that I do it. I just do it when I can tell she’s tired or anxious. It’s just instinct by now,” Tanner explained to everyone. “That’s crazy dude,” Alex said and shook his head. “I’m just glad she gets to sleep, and I can help her calm down and stuff. She just falls right asleep,” Tanner said as he continuously twirled your hair.

“Well it’s cute,” Chelsea said and smiled at you asleep on his shoulder. “Yeah, she is,” Tanner said and placed one last kiss on your head.

"Sweet Questions"- Tanner Wiseman x Reader

word count:1223

warnings: fluff, that's it

Summary: Reader asks "Sweet Questions"

(gif not mine! again random sorry!)

You and Tanner had just started dating about a month ago and things were going really well. They had all known you since you were very young and so Chelsea was the one to find out that you had a crush on him. That’s how it all started and that’s how you ended up where you are.

All of you walked through the airport, it was finally the day that you got to go to Ireland. To say you were scared of heights and flying would be an understatement and Tanner knew this. He knew he would have to be there for you and be patient when your anxiety set in.

He had his arm around you as you walked through the crowd keeping you from straying or getting anxious.

“Are you excited babe?” he asked and looked down at you. You nodded your head softly, “Yeah, I just can’t wait to get there,” you said and leaned into him a bit. “I know, but you’ll be ok I promise,” he told you. “Ok,” you softly spoke and cast your gaze to your feet as you walked. “Chin up, just think about how worth it will all be,” he encouraged you. You let a small smile place itself on your lips at the thought of being in Ireland. You’d always wanted to go, and even if was just for these locations you were going and you couldn’t be more grateful for the chance.

You looked around at all of your friends and shook your head in disbelief that you got to do this with them. It all seemed like a big dream to you, finally being with the person you’ve loved for years, and getting to see the world with your best friends. It was your reality and you could hardly believe it.

“You ready Chels?” you asked and looked over at her. “Yes, and no. I’m so ready to be there but I’m also really nervous about the locations,” she explained to you/ “You should be nervous,” Dakota piped up and you turned to look at him. You glared at him and he chuckled. “It’s true,” he defended himself and you rolled your eyes. “You’re crazy Dakota,” you said and shook your head. “You agreed to this, so I’m pretty sure you’re crazy too,” he told you and you chuckled. “I guess so,” you said and leaned your head on Tanner’s shoulder.

It came time to board the plane and so Tanner was slightly nudging you forward. He made sure you knew he was there and it gave you a sense of calm. You sighed heavily as you finally were able to find your seats. You sat down next to your boyfriend, he could feel how nervous you were and it made his heart ache knowing you were scared.

“I know you’re scared right now babe, but everything is going to be ok. I’m next to you the entire way,” he said and quickly moved his mask down so he could place a kiss on your head. You leaned against his shoulder and you wrapped your arm around his. “Thank you,” you said and looked up at him with a grateful gaze. “You never have to thank me for being here for you,” he said and placed a hand on your knee comfortingly.

The flight there was difficult for you, but you tried your best to keep calm. Tanner was there for you just like he said he would be, and his patience with you was something you always appreciated. You ended up falling asleep for a while before landing and he didn’t move despite how uncomfortable and tense he was getting. He knew you needed that rest and so he didn’t dare interrupt your sleep.

He gently shook you awake, “(y/n), hey, it’s time to wake up. We’re landing soon,” he said and you let your sleepy eyes flutter open. You rubbed your eyes and looked at your boyfriend. “Really?” you questioned groggily. He chuckled at how tired you sounded. “Yeah, really. It’s almost over babe,” he said. You sighed in relief that it would be over soon.

He could see some of the tension in your shoulders release and he smiled.

The plane landed and you all began to file off. When you were finally off of the plane and onto solid ground once again you let out a sigh of relief.

“It’s over,” you said to yourself and smiled softly. “You did it, babe,” Tanner said and wrapped his arm around your shoulders for a side hug.

“I did!” you said excitedly. “I’m so proud of you,” he said and you could hear the smile in his voice. “I couldn’t do it without you,” you told him truthfully. “That’s not true, you can do anything I know you can,” he said.

You all got your things and headed out to the RV that was waiting for you outside.

You put your stuff away and took off your mask and so had everyone else. You could see that they were all smiles and it made you smile as well.

Later in the day, Dakota had told you where you were going and you already hated it.

The Hellfire Club is where you were headed and you weren’t too excited. The RV stopped and you looked outside. “Dakota this already sucks. I swear you have the worst ideas sometimes,” you sighed before you all got out. You started on your way across the grass, and as you walked you smiled up at your boyfriend. You then looked around at your friends with the same giddy grin on your face. Your gaze cast down and noticed how close you and Tanner were so your immediate thought was to grab his hand but you didn’t know if you should. You were on the shy side, but that never stopped you from showing affection to your friends and boyfriend. You didn’t know why you were doubting yourself now, but you just were. So, you did the only thing you thought reasonable. You asked.

“Tanner,” you said, and he looked down at you. “Yeah,” he said. He saw your cheeks turn a bit pink and smiled brightly. “What is it babe?” he asked and gently nudged you.

“Can I- um- Can I hold your hand?” you asked softly.

His smile got broader and you looked away. He chuckled, “You don’t have to ask, you know that,” he said.

You turned your eyes back to him and smiled softly, you reached out your hand and grabbed his. You carefully interlaced your fingers with his and he leaned down to kiss your head. “Sorry for asking,” you said quietly. “You don’t have to be sorry, just know that you don’t have to ask,” he said and squeezed your hand in his. “I love you,” you said and he brought your hand up to place a kiss on it. “I love you too,” he said and you smiled at him.

“I know you guys are being cute, but if you’re done we have this creepy place to look around,” Chelsea said with a teasing smile. You rolled your eyes but walked a bit faster and tugged your boyfriend along with you. It was gonna be a long few days but at least you had a hand to hold.

"You're Cold"-Tanner Wiseman x Reader

word count: 1391

warnings: language, fluff

summary: "You're Cold"

(gif not mine, once again random, sorry)

The night was incredibly cold and you being you had not brought a jacket. A light sweater? Yes. A jacket? No.

Looking over at the guys you tried not to groan in frustration at your idiocy seeing them with jackets on just made you shiver even more. “Fucking idiot,” you mumbled under your breath, but Tanner had heard you and turned to look over at you. “What?” he asked. You looked over at him with wide eyes, “Nothing,” you tried to smile. “No, you totally said something,” Tanner said. Alex and Dakota weren’t paying attention to you as he spoke with you. You all were spending the night out, and your boyfriend nagged at you to bring a jacket before you left but you swore you were fine.

“I didn’t say a thing,” you said once again trying to get him to drop it. “Did you call me a ‘fucking idiot’?” he asked you. “What? No. of course not, I was talking about myself,” you told him with a sigh. “Why would you say that babe?” he asked and wrapped his arm around your shoulder. Immediately he felt you shiver and wrap your arm around his waist to get closer to him. He let out a chuckle, “What are you laughing about?” you asked as you looked up at him. “You’re cold, I told you to bring a jacket,” he said with a laugh. You pulled away from him and wrapped your arms around yourself. “Hey, hey, what are you doing?” he asked and reached out for you but you avoided his grasp stubbornly. “No, I’m fine. I’m perfectly comfortable so I don’t need you to stay warm because I already am,” you lied blatantly. He sighed heavily, “c’mon don’t be like that, c’mere.” he said and eventually got a hold of you. “Babe, you’re so cold, just take my jacket ok,” he told you and began to take his jacket off. “No, keep your jacket, I’ll be fine until we get home,” you told him once again breaking from his grasp as he tried to take his jacket off to give to you. “That’s too bad because I don’t want you cold, so come over here and take this,” he said. You sighed and caved before taking the item of clothing from his hands. He smiled as he watched you put it on, the sleeves covering your hands and it was large enough to keep you warm. You sighed in contentment as you were finally covered from the cold breeze that was blowing. The shivering now came a few and far apart as you curled your arms around you as well. Tanner wrapped his arm around your shoulder again and this time you let yourself lean into him. He kissed your head and held you tighter.

“I knew you’d get cold,” you heard Dakota speak up. You sighed heavily, “Please, don’t do this right now, I’m cold and tired and I’m gonna get really pissed if you keep teasing me,” you scolded him. He put his hands in the air in defense. “Alright, ok, I won’t,” he said. “Good cause I’m not in the mood for this,” you said and reached up to your shoulder to grab Tanner’s hand. He gently reached into the sleeve of the jacket and laced your fingers together.

“So, am I correct to assume that you’d like to go home?” Tanner asked you quietly.

You felt bad for wanting to go home and so you decided not to tell him. “No, of course not,” you said and squeezed his hand.

“Hey guys, we’re gonna head on home. She’s pretty tired and as you can see she’s cold. So we’re gonna-” you looked at him in disbelief and cut him off. “We’re not going anywhere, I already told you I wanted to stay and that I’m fine,” you said. “Don’t feel bad (y/n), you can go home. It’s fine honestly,” Alex told you. “Ok, how about this, I’ll go home and Tanner you can stay here.” You suggested. Tanner immediately shook his head. “Nope, we’re both going, now c’mon,” he said. You had all stopped walking by now, “Tanner, honestly I’ll be fine,” you tried to tell him.

“I want to go with you so we’re going to go home. Bye, you guys, we’ll see you later,” Tanner said goodbye to his friends. You felt really bad for cutting his night short, “Be careful guys ok, let me know when you get home so I don’t worry too much,” you said. “We’ll let you know, (y/n/n), go warm up we’ll see you later,” Dakota said and walked over to hug you, Alex did the same before saying goodbye.

You and Tanner headed in the opposite direction and back to your car. “I feel so bad T, I didn’t want to cut your night short,” you confessed to your boyfriend. “You have nothing to feel bad about, you’re more important than a night out,” he said and kissed your head. You once again reached up to hold his hand for the rest of the walk.

You got to the car, and he opened your door for you. You smiled gratefully at him before sitting in the car and buckling up. Tanner got in turned the car on and got the heat going, “We’ll get you warm soon babe, just hold on a second.” he said and grabbed your hand while he drove.

The drive home was spent in warm silence, and when you got home he opened your door once again and you both got into the house to avoid the cold breeze.

You sighed when you walked into your house and turned the lights on. You were excited to be home, and Tanner could tell. He chuckled at how excited you looked though you were trying to hide it from him. He walked over and wrapped his arms around your waist. You turned around in his arms and wrapped yours around his neck to pull him down so you could kiss him. Your lips were still slightly cold and so he kissed you for a few more seconds. He pulled away and kissed your nose, “Your nose is still cold,” he said and you chuckled. “I know,” you said with a chuckle.

“Let’s get you into some pajamas and under the covers with your favorite movie,” he said and before you knew it he had swept you up and was walking toward your room. You chuckled and rested your head on his shoulder.

“Stay here, I’ll get your stuff,” he told you as he set you on the bed. You chuckled, “I can do it myself babe,” you said and began to get up. He held your shoulders down, “no, let me take care of you,” he said and kissed the top of your head. “Babe, I’m feeling fine, I was just a bit cold,” you said with a smile and started to get up again. “Nope, I’m taking care of you, I know you’re still cold and uncomfy so I’m going to take care of you,” he said as he gathered one of your favorite sweaters of his. And your favorite pair of pajama pants you had for years. He set the things down on the bed with a grin. “I can put this on myself, babe, I promise. Now you go get comfortable too ok,” you said and grabbed his hand before placing a kiss on his hand.

“Are you sure?” he asked with a playful grin. “I’m absolutely sure,” you said. “Alright,” he said and kissed your head.

You both got ready for bed and slipped under the covers. Your favorite movie was playing on the screen in front of you and you smiled as you curled closer to your boyfriend. “I think we solved the issue, I’m not cold anymore,” you said and looked up at him with a smile. He chuckled and kissed your head. “I’m still not letting you go, you do know that right?” he asked with a raised brow and playful grin. You laughed, “I’m very aware, and I wouldn’t want it any other way,” you said and leaned up to kiss his cheek. You let him wrap you up tighter in his arms, and you weren’t cold even for one second that entire night.

Saying goodbye before a new road trip- Tanner Wiseman x Reader

word count:1450

Warnings: Fluff! 

Prompt/situation: “Saying goodbye before a new road trip”

(Category imagine #2)

(gif not mine!)

You woke up to someone placing kisses on your face, and it made you sleepily scrunch your nose up and try to turn away. You groaned sleepily, “Baby, I’ve got to leave soon.” you heard Tanner speak. Your eyes immediately opened and you sat up. “Why didn’t you wake me up earlier?” you asked with sleep still evident in your voice. Your hair was a mess and you rubbed the sleep from your eyes as best as you could. You were upset that he hadn’t woken you up earlier like he said he would. “I hate waking you up so early, you know that,” he said and sat on the edge of the bed next to you. “You promised you would wake me up so I could be with you for a while longer, and help with last-minute things,” you said, your tone was sad. He saw the look in your eyes and sighed. 

“I’m sorry babe, I just wanted you to be able to rest because I know you wouldn’t be able to go back to sleep after I woke you up. So waking you up later would mean that you got more rest,” he said and reached forward to grab your hand.  You held it tightly and looked at him with shimmery eyes. “But, I’m not going to see you for so long, and now we barely have any time,” you said with a wobble in your voice. “We have some time and we’re gonna spend it with each other right now,” he said and let go of your hand to scoop you up into his arms. You yelped in surprise and held onto him tightly, “What are you doing?” you giggled. “I want to hold you for as long as I can,” he said and kissed your cheek, you reciprocated the action. “I want you to hold me forever,” you said softly and once again sadness crept into your voice. He looked over at you and set you on the bed.

 He slipped his shoes off and got on the bed next to you, “What are you doing?” you asked him. “C’mere,” he said and reached over to pull you toward him. “Do you have time?” you asked in worry. “I’ll always have time to hold you,” he said and kissed your head. Your eyes teared up and you turned on your side to face him. You pulled yourself as close to him as you could. You finally let the tears fall down your cheeks and you wrapped his sweater tight in your fist. “I’m gonna miss you so much.” your voice was soft and broken, and it made his heart feel like the ache was going to last forever. “I’m going to miss you too, but hey, I’ll be back before you know it. We’ll talk every day, I’ll call you before and after every location. You’ll probably get sick of me.” he said trying to joke. It got a small giggle out of you through your tears. “It’ll probably be the opposite, and it won’t be enough for me.” you joked back. “That’s my silly girl,” he said and kissed your head. 

He suddenly flipped you onto your back and hovered over you. He could see that your eyes were red from crying, and it made him so upset to see you like that. But he looked down at you to see a smile on your face as you looked up at him. He leaned down and pressed his lips against yours gently. You reached up to wrap your arms around his neck, pulling him closer to you. You didn’t want to let go but air was becoming more necessary, and time was ticking faster than you’d like it to be. He pulled away and you sighed heavily. “You know, when I come back I think we should just take a day or two for ourselves. Preferably your apartment,” he said and you chuckled. “I’d be very happy to have you with me for a few days more than a few days,” you said and smiled softly. “We’ll watch whatever you want, and you can tell me all about the trip, all of the hopefully not too stupid things you boys get up to,” you said and moved to place a hand on his cheek running your thumb over his cheekbone. “What? We never get up to stupid things,” he said in mock offense and you chuckled before gently shoving him off of you. He landed next to you with an exaggerated huff. 

You sat up and got off of the bed to go grab something from the dresser across the room. “What are you doing babe, come back,” he whined. You chuckled softly. You looked through your bag on the dresser and pulled out the small picture you always kept with you. It was a picture of you and Tanner. He had his arms around your waist from behind and him leaning forward to place a kiss on your cheek, you had a huge smile on your face, and way behind you guys, you could just see Dakota and Alex goofing off. It was your favorite picture you had. 

You smiled fondly at it and hadn’t even realized how long you had been looking at it until you felt arms around your waist and a kiss being placed on your cheek. “I’ve always loved that picture,” Tanner said. “It’s my favorite, I always have it with me,” you told him and turned around in his arms. He had a big smile on his face at the thought of you carrying a picture of you and him with you wherever you went. 

You held it out to him and smiled up at him softly. “Take it with you,” you told him and placed it in his hands. “Why?” he asked. “You should keep it, babe,” he told you and tried to give it back, but you wouldn’t take it. “I want you to have it with you cause I always look at it when I’m having a bad day,” you explained to him why you wanted him to have it. He looked at you with a soft look in his eyes. You reached up to place a small kiss on his lips and pulled away with a gentle smile. 

“You’ll take it?” you asked him with hopeful eyes. “Of course I will, God knows I’m gonna need it,” he said and you chuckled. “Well, now you’ll always have it,” you said. 

A knock sounded on the door and it made you jump, and Tanner laughed out loud. “C’mon Tanner we got to go!” Dakota called through the door. “Alright, I’ll be right there,” he responded. You could hear Dakota walk back down the stairs. Tanner looked down at you to see a sad smile on your face, “Alright, well let’s get you downstairs.” you said. As you tried to walk by him he grabbed your arm and tugged you back to him to kiss you one more time. It lasted for a good few seconds before pulling away. “Ok, now we can go,” he said and smiled at you. You interlaced your fingers with his, walked out of the room and down the stairs with him trailing behind you. You got to the bottom of the stairs and sighed seeing everything all packed up. You helped them put the stuff into the RV, and said goodbye to Alex and Dakota. 

You walked up to Tanner and wrapped your arms around him. He kissed the top of your head and held you tightly. You pulled away a bit and looked up at him with shiny eyes and a sad smile. He leaned down and kissed your forehead, your cheeks, nose, and finally your lips. The kiss didn’t last too long seeing as you both knew he had to leave. 

“I’m gonna miss you so much, babe,” he said and you replied the same. 

“Promise to come home soon,” you said. He nodded his head. “I promise (y/n),” he promised you and gave you a soft smile. “I love you, please be safe ok,” you said and he kissed your head. “I will be. I love you too. I’ll be home soon,” he said you nodded and watched him get into the RV. The second he got settled they set off down the road. 

You stood in the doorway for a few seconds longer before wrapping your arms around yourself. You knew that your home was out on the road, and thousands of miles away. So you got ready to live in a house until he came back because it wasn’t a home without him there.

"He or you makes the other blush"-Tanner Wiseman x Reader

word count:1140

Warnings: fluff

summary: "He or you makes the other blush"

(gif not mine!)

You walked out of your room and down the hallway into your living room and saw that it was almost time for you to leave. Tanner texted you and told you that they would be there to pick you up in about 15 minutes. You sighed and checked around your house to make sure nothing was forgotten. You saw your journal lying open on your bed and immediately went to grab it, you always took your journal with you on the road trips so you could write about the most memorable things that weren’t caught on camera. You wrote about the small conversations you had with your friends that made you happy.

You smiled at the well-used book and tucked it into your bag gently. You got a ding on your phone and checked it to see that Tanner had texted you. The next second you got a knock on your door and went to go get it. You opened the door and tanner is already smiling down at you. “Hey babe, are you ready?” he asked. You nodded your head and stepped aside to let him in he kissed the top of your head as he walked by you, and the boys followed him in. you chuckled at the chorus of good mornings. “You do know, that I don’t have that much stuff right? I can take my own things to the RV, “We know but we want to so here we are,” Dakota said and smiled at you. You chuckled, “Alright well I guess you can carry something.” you told him. “Too late we got everything, let’s go!” Tanner exclaimed and walked out the door. As Tanner passed by you he leaned down and kissed the top of your head again. You rolled your eyes, “Alright, let’s go then.” you said and ushered the boys out of your home so you could lock the door behind you all.

Tanner walked back over to you and smiled before leaning down to kiss you softly. You wrapped your arms around his neck and his arms wrapped around your waist. He pulled away and you smiled up at him, “I didn’t get to do that earlier,” he said and you chuckled before pulling him back down to place another kiss on his lips.

“Well I appreciate that you did it, now I guess it’s time to go then huh?” you asked with a smile. “Yeah, I guess so, c’mon you can sleep for a while,” he said and you nodded your head with a laugh.

You settled on the couch in the RV and smiled at the boys, “Well, are you guys excited?” you asked.

“Yes, and no,” Alex responded and you giggled but agreed. “Yeah, I think I’m ready. I’m definitely excited to see your reactions to these places, your reactions are the best honestly.” Dakota said with a big smile. You looked at him in mock offense, “My reactions are perfectly normal to these crazy-ass places we go to!” you exclaimed and he chuckled.

“He isn’t wrong babe, your reactions are pretty funny,” your boyfriend agreed. You looked up at him as he sat next to you. “You’re a jerk!” you said and playfully slapped his chest.

Alex shook his head and laughed.

You settled next to Tanner and curled up next to him. “If you wake me up I’m gonna be really pissed.” you pointed at all of them.

They chuckled, “We won’t,” Tanner said and kissed your head before pulling you closer.

You closed your eyes and let yourself fall asleep

---

You began to feel yourself stir, but stopped yourself from opening your eyes when you heard the boys talking.

“You are head over heels man,” you heard Dakota say. You had to hold back from smiling. “I know,” Tanner didn’t deny what his friend had stated. “You’re lucky ya know, she’s an amazing girl and anyone would be lucky to have her,” Alex said. Your heart swelled the tiniest bit at Alex’s comment. He was always so sweet and that’s one of the reasons he was your best friend.

“I don’t deserve her to be completely honest,” Tanner confessed. Confusion floated through your mind and you had to control your expression.

“Why do you say that?” Dakota asked. “She’s amazing, I mean she’s the only thing that holds me together after some of these places we go to. She makes the world around her brighter, and the people she knows are so positively affected by her. She is so loved and she loves so much.” he said and your heart felt like it melted. You instinctively held him tighter, and they chuckled quietly trying not to wake you up. “She’s gorgeous, and she has no idea,” your boyfriend said and leaned down to kiss your head. You felt your cheeks heat up involuntarily and in your head, you knew that it wouldn’t go unnoticed

“Oh my gosh, dude she’s totally awake, she’s blushing.” Dakota pointed out. You buried your face in your boyfriend’s shoulder trying to hide your face. Tanner chuckled, “Babe, c’mon don’t do that,” he said and kissed your head. “Then don’t look at me,” you whined though it was muffled. The boys chuckled, “Alright, they won’t look, now c’mon let me see you,” he said. The boys looked away trying to hold in their laughter.

He gently turned your face so he could see you, your cheeks were pink and it made him smile. “You’re too cute you know,” he said and kissed your cheek. “Shut up,” you said and slapped his shoulder lightly. You heard the boys fake gagging, and you looked over and saw that they had turned to look at you. You sighed and placed your hands over your face.

“Guys, stop,” you whined. “Shut up, guys you’re embarrassing her,” Tanner stepped in. You could hear that he was trying not to laugh. “Ok no, I’m leaving,” you said and got up from your spot to move to the back of the RV. “No,” Tanner complained as you left his side. “Nope, I’m going,” you said and lied down on the bed in the back. The be dipped and you sighed. “Babe, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to embarrass you,” he said and sat next to you. He played with your hair gently, you sighed “It’s fine, I guess,” you said with a hint of a smile.

“I love when you blush babe, it’s so sweet,” he said and leaned over to kiss your cheek.

“Ugh, Tanner. Stop,” you said and hid your face again. He kissed your hands before pulling them away from your face, “There she is,” he said and leaned down to kiss you. You let yourself smile against his lips. “I love you, babe,” he pulled away and said. “I love you too Tanner,” you said.

"Random Memory"- Tanner Wiseman x Reader

word count: 1308

warnings: fluff!

Summary: "A Random Memory"

(gif not mine! again random sorry)

You walked into the house with an exhausted sigh and set your things to the side. All you wanted was to sit down and watch your favorite movie with your boyfriend. You had gotten fired and the only thing that you knew would help you was spending time with Tanner. You quietly walked down the hallway and to your bedroom to see the door slightly ajar. You gently knocked on the partially opened door and peeked into the room just to see him lying on the bed scrolling on his phone. “Hey, Tanner,” you said quietly, he looked up from his phone with a smile on his face at the sound of your voice. Quickly noticing that you weren’t smiling he frowned and got off of the bed. “Babe, what’s wrong?” he asked as he made his way over to you. He gently placed his hands on your cheeks stroking just under your eyes. You once again sighed heavily before closing your eyes. He felt your lashes flutter against his skin and noticed that your lashes had begun to get wet. 

“Hey, hey what’s wrong?” he asked and let go so he could pull you into a hug. You wrapped your arms tightly around him, trying to hold on for as long as humanly possible. “I’m just so tired,” you said between harsh and broken cries. He let one hand cradle your head to his chest while the other stayed firmly around you. You grasped his shirt tightly in your fists as he let you cry. “I woke up and thought today would be good. I thought I’d have a good day at work but, no. My boss decided that it was high time that he replaced me. He notified me just before I was about to leave, and so now I have no job.” you could feel your voice break from the strain you were putting on it. He could feel you shake in his hold and it made him cringe. “It’s ok (y/n), it will all be ok,” he said and gently picked you up to carry you to the bed. He set you down and sat next to you, you wiped furiously at your eyes trying to will yourself to stop crying. He wrapped his arms around you once again. “It’s ok to cry, you don’t have to keep it in,” he said trying to take your hands away from your face. He knew you were trying to keep it in and he knew it would only make things worse. “I’m sorry I’m being such a baby,” you said and took a deep breath. “You’re not being a baby. You’re feeling hurt and upset and that’s valid, you have the right to feel the way you feel and you never have to hide it around me,” he reassured you. You looked up at him with your bottom lip between your teeth. He raised one hand to gently tug your lip back into place and kissed you softly. You felt your lip quiver again and you sighed shakily, “I thought it was going really well. I mean I’ve been there for what almost 2 years,” you said and choked up a bit at the end.

“Your boss has always been an asshole to you and everyone else. You deserve better than that, and you’re going to find better than that,” Tanner promised you. “Really?” you questioned. “Of course,” he assured you once more. “I know it’s tough right now but you’ll find somewhere better for you, and it won’t make you upset. It won’t make you have to think about forcing yourself to make things go well. It just will, it’ll fall into place and everything will be ok,” he said. You nodded your head swiftly and sniffled softly. “Ok, you’re right,” you said and grabbed onto his hand tightly. “I always am,” he said and it made you chuckle lightly. He saw a small smile on your lips and it made him smile. “I know, it won’t happen immediately, but trust me when I say something’s gonna happen. It will happen,” he said and you let out a louder chuckle and nodded your head. “I know. It always does, just like that road trip last summer,” you said and shook your head with a large smile. “Exactly, see. When have I ever steered you wrong babe?” he asked with a raised brow. “Oh, don’t get me started, 'cause I remember a few times you literally steered me wrong. Remember we also did get lost on that road trip and it was definitely not my fault,” you said. Your voice was still a bit hoarse. He chuckled, “You were giving me the directions,” he defended himself. “You took the wrong turns!” you also took a chance to defend yourself. A smile crept onto your face at the memory.

--

“Ok, so take the next exit, and merge onto the freeway,” you instructed your boyfriend. He nodded at your directions and just totally passed the exit. “Babe, no, you just missed the exit!” you exclaimed. “You said it was the next one though,” he said and you sighed. “That was the next one,” you said and pointed your thumb behind you. “Well ok, we’ll just take this exit and I’m sure we can find our way to the freeway,” he said while turning the blinker on to make the right. “Tanner, this is what always gets us lost, you get us all turned around,” you said and let your head fall back against the headrest. 

“I’m not the one reading the directions,” he said. “But you miss all the turns and exits,” you said and pinched the bridge of your nose. 

“Just trust me, babe, I’ll find the way back,” he said and you shook your head. “I’m the ultimate problem solver, and the best driver you’ve ever met,” he said with a big smile. You looked over at him and once again shook your head but this time a smile was placed on your lips and a laugh came tumbling from your lips, not a sigh. “I’m not sure about the latter,” you said and looked over at him. He glanced over at you quickly with an incredulous expression on his face. “What?” he asked in offense. “I’d have to say, that I’m the better driver of us two,” you expressed your thoughts. “Oh sure,” he said sarcastically. “It’s true!” you exclaimed. “I’m not the one who has gotten flipped off multiple times,” he said. “You jerk! I’m not the one who gets honked at and flipped off every other car they pass,” you said and stuck your tongue out at him. “Ok, ok, maybe we’re both not very good drivers. “I’ll admit just this once, you’re not a terrible driver, except when you get us lost the moment we have to drive over 30 minutes to get somewhere,” you said and threw a sly grin over at him. “I’ll take the first half of that and let the other stuff go just this once,” he said and you chuckled. “Alright, let’s find the damn freeway or we’ll be stuck here forever,” you said and reached over to grab his free hand.”

--

“That was a good trip though,” you said and leaned your head on his shoulder. “Yeah it was,” he said and kissed your head. “You’re not a terrible driver,” he admitted and you chuckled. “Thanks, babe,” you said and smiled up at him. “You want to go for a drive?” he asked randomly and you smiled brightly at the idea. “Yeah I do,” you said happily. “I promise, I won’t get us lost,” he said and you sighed with a smile and a shake of your head. “Honestly, I wouldn’t mind it so much,” you kissed his cheek. “Let’s get lost for a while,”

Missouri State Penitentiary pt.1- Tanner Wiseman x Reader

word count:3704

warnings: language, bits and pieces of fluff, the usual creepy packet read(if that counts), i think that’s it. if not please let me know!

Summary: This series is based off of season 3, episode 2 of DF. So, all credit to the crew, the show and the channel. Reader and the group are tired from their first investigation. will Reader be able to handle the next one even with her Boyfriend Tanner by her side?

(not my pic!)

It had only been a couple of days since your first location of the road trip and you were already exhausted. You could tell that everyone else was as well, and it made you chuckle a bit. 

They all looked at you with confusion as you let out a small laugh. Your boyfriend Tanner looked down at you sitting next to him with his brows drawn together in confusion. 

“What are you laughing about weirdo?” he asked. “I just think it’s funny how exhausted we are after one location. I always forget how much energy it takes out of you on these road trips,” you explained. 

They all nodded in agreement, and Tanner wrapped his arm around you to hold you tighter to him and you sighed in content while relaxing in his hold. 

“Yeah, I forget how depleting these road trips are. Even right off the bat, it’s like one of these locations can just suck the energy right out of you.” Chelsea said. 

“Yeah.” Dakota agreed. “We have so much road trip left,” she spoke again. 

“I’m tired. I’m like seriously so tired.” Dakota expressed his own exhaustion. 

“That was a long night,” Alex added. “Yeah honestly, it was a huge location.” you agreed with him. 

You looked to Dakota as he spoke up again. “That was a really massive location that took a lot out of us, and this next one is equally as big.” you let out a sigh as you rolled your eyes and let your head lull back in exasperation. Tanner chuckled at you before asking a question. “Where are we going now?” 

“Right now, we’re headed to a place called Jailhouse Pizza,” Dakota confirmed your next destination. Your eyes lit up and you gasped. 

“Pizza?!” you exclaimed. You looked up at your boyfriend in excitement with a wide grin and he laughed before leaning down to press a kiss on your forehead. 

“I love pizza!” Chelsea beamed at her brother. She reached over the table to high-five him as he expressed his excitement as well. 

“Good call.” she praised. 

“Seriously, I’m stoked right now.” you professed your elation. 

“It actually used to be a jail and then it was abandoned. And they came in and renovated it into a pizza place.” Dakota revealed. 

“Pizza in a jail?” Alex asked. “Uh-huh,” Dakota confirmed. “Is it haunted?” he asked the question that you were sure most of you were wondering, or at least you were. 

“It is haunted.” Dakota once again confirmed. 

You let out another sigh, one of the many you would let out throughout the road trip. 

“For once can we go to a place that isn’t haunted? Like damn Dakota.” you expressed and he laughed. “I guess keep your guard up while you’re taking a bite.” he shrugged. 

 You flipped him off and everyone chuckled. 

“I hate you sometimes Kota, I swear,” you complained a bit and he just tossed you a Cheshire grin. 

 You huffed and curled in on yourself so you could fit next to your boyfriend and leave some more space on the couch for Alex. 

“It better be some damn good Pizza,” you grumbled and Tanner chuckled. 

---

You pulled up to the place and piled out of the RV. One of Tanner’s beanies sat atop your head and a need for food filled your stomach. 

He grabbed your hand and interlocked his fingers with yours and squeezed slightly. You squeezed his hand back and he brought it up to his lips to place a kiss on your knuckles. It made you smile brightly at the small yet incredibly sweet gesture of affection.

“If a Pizza place prisoner ghost gets me. Promise to find love again,” you said to your boyfriend and it made him laugh. He pulled you to a halt before grabbing your waist and leaning down to kiss you sweetly, his nose was cold as it bumped yours but his lips were warm. He pulled away. “I make no promises.” he joked and tugged you toward the entrance where your friends waited. 

Tanner held the door open for everyone before walking in behind you so he could wrap one arm around your waist and hold the camera with the other one. 

“Let’s check this out,” Dakota said and you all walked around the place, acting silly. 

Dakota closed one of the cell doors and you could hear Tanner whine and it made you giggle. 

“That’s not very nice dude.” your boyfriend whines as he’s let out. “This would be foreshadowing, I don’t know,” Dakota said and you looked at him with a confused glare. 

You all decided it was time to sit down and order, you entered your “jail cell” and looked through the menus. You were seated between Tanner and Chelsea, as you looked through the options. 

“What do you guys even like on your pizza?” Dakota asked everyone in curiosity. 

“I’m a cheese gal,” Chelsea revealed and you looked at her and chuckled. “Same as her,” you told them. 

“Just the cheese?” Alex questioned incredulously.

“Yeah, guys,” you said and chuckled. “That’s so boring,” Alex exclaimed. “I know,” Chelsea said. 

You just rolled your eyes and let out a laugh. 

“They have a pizza called the Electric Chair. It says “Warning, eat at your own risk,” pepperoni sausage, jalapeno peppers, hot sauce, and it says “Caution, very hot.” “ Dakota described the pizza to you all. 

“I’m going to order that,” he stated. You laughed. “You boys are not gonna handle it very well I swear.” you joked and they looked at you in offense. 

---

The pizza arrives and your eyes light up, “You guys! Look at this! I have never been more ready to eat a pizza in my entire life!” you blurted in excitement. They all laugh before reaching to grab their pieces. “Time to try the hottest pizza in the state,” Dakota announced. 

The boys took their first bites and their eyes widened at the heat of it. Tanner fanned his mouth and Alex stuck out his tongue and whined. You looked at Dakota and saw him rubbing his eyes. “I’m actually crying,” he said and you grinned. “I told you boys.” you nagged and Chelsea laughed. “Well, let’s see you try it then!” Alex challenged. You brought the pizza up to your mouth and took a bite, you could feel the heat but it wasn’t nearly as bad as they made it out to be. Your assumption was correct, they just couldn’t handle it. It wasn’t really bad, honestly, it tasted really good. They all looked at you as you calmly took another bite and chewed happily. “What the hell is wrong with you?” Your boyfriend asked. “It’s honestly not that hot, you guys are obviously just babies,” you said with a shrug and a smile. Chels took a bite and looked at you with no sense of discomfort just like your reaction had been. You raised your hand and gave her a high-five. She chuckled as you all continued to eat. 

Dakota set down his drink and spoke. “Do you guys want a hint about the main haunted location we’re going to tomorrow night?” 

His question made you nod your head with fervor. 

“Sure,” Tanner answered. 

“There were people at this location who literally spent over two decades in total darkness,” he said. “What?” your boyfriend questioned in shock. Your eyes widened and you reached to grab Tanner’s hand, he held it in reassurance. “Two decades?” Chelsea inquired. 

Dakota hummed in confirmation. “So much so that they went blind. By the time they went out, they couldn’t see anymore.” He explained. “That’s horrible Dakota. What the hell?” you said. 

“That is messed up,” Alex added. 

“I can’t imagine being stuck in darkness enough for you to go blind. I don’t even know like a type of place that would do that to a person.” Tanner spoke. 

“I got nothing,” Chelsea said. 

“I honestly have no clue…” you said softly. 

Tanner looked down at you and let go of your hand to wrap his arm around your shoulder knowing that you were afraid of the dark. It was always a hard part of being on the road trip, being in the dark for hours on end really freaked you out. 

He leaned down and pressed a kiss on your hair before whispering. “You’ll be ok babe, I’ll be there I promise.” you nodded and leaned into him a bit more. 

---

You all got back into the RV and took a seat. You sat next to Tanner at the table your back was against the wall and your legs were draped over his. He let his hand rest on your thigh drawing comforting nonsensical patterns. He could tell you were even more nervous about the location because of the information Dakota had disclosed earlier. 

The hours leading up to the packet read weren’t very easy for you. All of it was stressing you out more so than usual. You hated the dark and you had a feeling that Dakota was going to have one of his stupid ideas and center it around that. It gave you anxiety like you couldn’t believe. The only thing keeping you grounded was Tanner being close to you and giving you as much comfort as he could. 

You pulled off of the road and you knew it was time to get out and read the packet. It was time to figure out where you were going next, and honestly, you weren’t ready to know. You Tanner, and Chels sat across from Dakota with the packet in his hands. You were tense and Tanner could tell  so he pulled you closer to him to try and help you relax a bit. He rubbed his hand up and down your back in soothing motions helping to release some of the tension that had been building all day. “Alright. Are you guys ready to find out where we’re going? Dakota exhaled the question. “I mean I’m definitely nervous.” Your boyfriend answered. “I am definitely not ready for this.” you exhaled heavily. Chelsea reached over and gave your hand a reassuring squeeze. “There’s an experiment that I do have in mind for this location, something that we’ve never done before,” he said and your heart dropped. You knew he had something up his sleeve, he always did. “Those never end well.” you rolled your eyes at him. “Hey! They aren’t that bad.” he protested. Chelsea raised an eyebrow at her brother.“Fine ok, they’re horrible but they’re effective,” he said. “Now let’s just say this is going to be a night we’ll probably never forget. So you guys wanna open the packet?” he questioned. He passed the packet forward toward Tanner and he took it from him. You watched as he slowly revealed the location you were going to stay in the next night. “The Missouri State penitentiary!” you all exclaimed. You internally cringed not wanting to hear anything about it as Tanner began to read the packet. “Once infamously labeled ‘the bloodiest 47 acres in America,’ the Missouri State Penitentiary now sits vacant stoically decaying along the Missouri River. In operation for 168 years. The prison held some of America’s most notorious criminals, including Robert pretty boy Floyd, anarchist Emma Goldman, and even murderer James Earl Ray. It was from this prison that James Earl Ray escaped and assassinated Martin Luther King Jr.” Tanner finished. You sighed heavily and Chelsea took the packet next and begun to read. “The violence of this penitentiary was legendary and nearly 2,000 people died on-site.” She handed the packet over to you and you sighed before starting to read. “One inmate firebug johnson was kept in the dungeon cells of housing unit 4 for 17 years after he started a fire that killed four fellow inmates.” you stopped and looked up from the page in disbelief.  “Can you imagine being locked in a dungeon isolation cell for 17 years?” Dakota asked. You could’ve cried, it was almost like you could feel yourself locked away in pure darkness completely alone. You were terrified to go to this location. “With no light, of course, you’re going to go absolutely crazy,” Tanner said. “I have never heard that at any penitentiary before,” Chelsea added. “And it gets worse. Trust me.” Dakota said. Your muscles became tense once again and Tanner noticed that this wasn’t going to be good for you at all. He was honestly scared for you, he knew you were strong but you needed him to be there for you more than ever and he would be.  “Forty death row inmates were executed here, most in the gas chambers that are still on the grounds today.” Chelsea read. “Gas chambers!” you exclaimed“I didn’t know that was a thing in the U.S.” Alex revealed. “No,” said Dakota. “I really didn’t,” Alex said. “That is disgusting,” Tanner stated. You grabbed the packet that chels handed over to you. “In 1953, the prison had the notorious distinction of executing a woman, Bonnie B. Heady. Putting her and her partner, Carl Hall to death at the same time. They had kidnapped 6-year old Bobby Greenlease the son of a multi-millionaire auto dealer and demanded 600,000 dollar ransom for his safe return.” you finished. You were disgusted completely by these people. “Why write a ransom if you’ve already killed the son?” Chelsea asked. “You know it’s hard to feel bad for those types of people when they do something so horrific like that,” Tanner said and you nodded. Continuing on you read, “It’s said that Bonnie’s soul is still contained inside the gas chambers to this day.” you finished with a slight tremble of fear in your voice. Tanner kissed your temple before squeezing you tightly. Dakota takes the packet and furthers into the hauntings. “Haunted accounts.” he starts. “The prison has immense paranormal activity, and many claim it was haunted even while it was still in operation. Since it closed in 2004, the activity has increased tenfold,” he said. They all noticed how uncomfortable you looked. They had no idea why it was affecting you so badly this time because it never did this much damage to you before. They were worried. “You ok (y/n)?” Alex asked the question everyone had on their mind. “Oh, um yeah. It’s all just incredibly disturbing you know. It’s just hard to think about.” you explained to them. Not wanting them to know what the exact truth was. “You sure?” Tanner asked and moved a stray hair out of your face gently as you looked up at him. “I promise,” you assured. You let Dakota continue. “The most active areas include Housing Unit 1. People report seeing full apparitions of female prisoners walking into cells. Intense class A EVP’s have also been captured. Including one that said ‘somebody cut me apart’. Your eyes widened in surprise. “What?” you asked in fear. “Alright, Tanner,” Dakota said and passed the packet back to his friend. “The gas chambers, a woman’s voice can be heard softly speaking. Many believe it’s Bonnie Heady. She’s been heard whispering ‘love’ to those who enter.” he read. “Who else would it be?” Dakota queried. “And she was executed with her boyfriend, so it’s almost like she’s talking to her boyfriend or searching out for him,” Tanner explained his thoughts.Chels took the packet next. “The dungeon Cells!” she exclaimed. “Yep” her brother confirmed. “Otherwise known as solitary confinement, located in Housing Unit 4, people report having their hair tugged, their ankles grabbed, and being viciously scratched. Menacing entity resides here appearing with half a face next to visitors and transferring his distress and pain onto them until they are so overwhelmed they flee the area.” she continued. “What the fuck Dakota?” you sighed heavily and shook your head. “I know, it’s insane,” he said. Chelsea hands the packet to you and you take a deep breath before reading. “3d Punishment Cells. These are the basement solitary confinement cells for Housing Unit 3, and many people refuse to be down here alone. The energy is very unsettling and violent.” you read. “Ok screw that,” Tanner interjects. You nod aggressively in agreement with your boyfriend. “There is also an 8-foot tall shadow figure sometimes the figure becomes a full apparition that opens its mouth and silently screams until they leave.” you read in disbelief. Your heart starts racing at the thought of being alone down there completely in the dark. You grab Tanner’s hand and interlace your fingers to try and find some sort of comfort. He rubs his thumb on the back of your hand in soothing figure eights. “Yeah,” Dakota said. “Are you kidding me?” Tanner said incredulously. “That’s just creepy,” Dakota spoke up. You glare at him. “That’s out of a damn nightmare Dakota!” you practically shout. They all look at you in surprise at your tone of voice. Dakota could tell you were especially uneasy and began to feel a bit bad, but it had to be done. He didn’t know you were going to react this way, he couldn’t do anything about it now. Tanner squeezed your hand in an attempt to calm you down. He knew you were scared and it hurt him to see you this way, you’d never reacted this way before. You looked up at him with a glint of fear in your eyes and he tugged you closer so you could lean against him. You sighed and shook your head before going completely quiet. Everyone tried to shake off your little outburst and Chelsea spoke up to ease some tension and get the attention away from you, she could tell you felt bad and wanted to make your feelings lessen. “Dakota, you don’t have the best track record with prisons.” She said to her younger brother. “No, I don’t. I do not like prisons. They scare me more than any other location. And this one could get the best of us.” He said. “This is going to be difficult,” Tanner stated. Everyone nodded in agreement. “Well, you guys it’s time to wrap this up and get some rest for tomorrow because God knows we’re gonna need it,” Dakota spoke before rising from his seat to get ready to head back to the RV. As everyone headed back you kinda hung back, your mind was racing and you knew for a fact that you would get absolutely no sleep that night. You had no idea you had stopped walking until you felt a hand on your cheek. Your eyes snapped up to see Tanner standing in front of you with worry clouding his eyes.  “Babe, I know you’re not ok. I know you’re scared, but we’ll be ok.” he tried to reassure you. You shook your head. “Tanner I don’t know if I can do this one. I really don’t know if I can,” you spoke up and placed your hand around his wrist. “I know it’s scary, but what else has you so worked up about this location?” he asked gently. Your eyes teared up and you sighed shakily. “It’s so dark. I know that it’s always dark and I know that you know I hate the dark, but something about this one is too much for me.” you began to explain to your boyfriend. He nodded his head in understanding letting you know he was listening to you. “People were locked in the dark for 17 years. They were locked in the dark until they completely lost their sight until everything in their lives went totally black. The history is so horrible and the hauntings are worse. An eight-foot-tall shadow figure, Tanner, I don’t think I can do this one. I don’t want to end up alone with that thing, and Dakota’s experiment. Fuck, those are never good, and especially at this location, I’m sure it’ll be even worse. I’m not ready for this Tanner.” you were crying now. Tears ran down your cheeks and your boyfriend wiped them away. His eyes held sympathy and worry, they also held understanding and love. “Oh, babe, I’m so sorry. I know it seems horrible, and it is honestly. I know how much the dark scares you, I know all of this information is hard to hear and horrifying to take in, but I promise that everything will be ok. I know you don’t feel ready for this, I know you don’t think you can handle it, but I know how strong you are. I know how brave you are, and look how far you’ve come, you have overcome so many of the things that you fear, and I know you haven’t conquered the dark yet but you will. Even if you don’t I’ll be right there next to you in it. You won’t be alone I swear. As for Dak’s experiment, I’m sure that it will be ok. I know it’s scary not knowing what will happen, but I promise I won’t let you go through more than you can handle. You’ll be ok.” he said and brought you into his arms. You let out small cries as you held tightly to him not wanting to let him go. He cradled your head to his chest and whispered words of encouragement. You pulled away from him just a bit so you could look up at him. Your eyes were puffy and red and mascara had stained your cheeks. “I love you Tanner.” your voice broke. He leaned down and pressed his lips against yours in a sweet kiss. You pressed up on your toes a bit and wrapped your arms around his neck while his arms weaved around your waist. He pulled away first and your feet landed flat on the ground again and your cheeks were flooded with heat as he lovingly looked down at you. “I love you too,” he said and kissed your head. “Now how about we go try and get some rest before tomorrow. I’ll protect you I promise, let’s go get some sleep,” he said and grasped your smaller hand in his to pull you toward the RV. you held his hand tighter and followed along.

One of the other boys likes you- Tanner Wiseman x Reader

word count:2327

Warnings: Fluff, sadness of course. 

Summary: “One of the other boys likes you” in this case: Dakota loves you while you’re with Tanner.

(gif not mine!)

You had just gotten home for the holidays and after spending some time with your family you, Tanner, Chelsea, Dakota, and Alex all decided to meet up and hang out for a while. You all decided to meet up at Chelsea’s place and so Tanner came to pick you up. You and he had gone your separate ways when you got home so you could spend time with your families, and somehow even after only being away from him for a day your entire being already missed him. When he knocked on your door you immediately pulled him into a big hug. “Hi babe, you ready to go?” you asked with a big smile. You grabbed your coat and slipped it on before slipping out the door and into the cold evening air. He opened the car door for you and before you got in you pulled him in for a short kiss. He smiled and into the kiss when he pulled away you got in the car. He shut the door and walked around to his side, when he got in he turned toward you and pulled you in for another kiss. “I missed you,” he said and you smiled. “I missed you too,” you replied the same.  

“So, how’s the family, I didn’t see their cars,” Tanner said and you sighed. “They’re good, really happy I’m home you know, but they knew I was going out tonight so they decided to do so too,” you said as he reached over to place a hand on your leg while he drove. 

“Well, that sounds fun.” he joked a bit. You rolled your eyes because you knew that he knew your parents would take your younger siblings caroling and most likely last-minute crazy Christmas shopping. “They like it!” you tried to defend them. You knew he was joking around he always did. “Oh yeah, a 13-year-old boy loves caroling and Christmas shopping with his mom, dad, and sister,” he said. You smacked his shoulder a bit. “They go from singing Silent Night, to fighting an 80-year-old lady in a Target over the last Barbie doll.” he joked and you couldn’t help but burst into laughter. He looked over at you with a smile. “You’re not wrong,” you laughed with a broad grin. 

The rest of the journey was full of laughter and silly but sweet conversation. 

When you arrived at Chelsea’s place you noticed that Dakota and Alex were already there. You got out of the car and walked up to the front door and knocked excitedly. The door swung open and there stood Dakota with a huge smile on his face. “Dakota!” you exclaimed and jumped into your best friend’s arms. He chuckled and held you close to him. “Hey (y/n), it’s been forever!” he exclaimed and you nodded your head as you pulled away. He hadn’t seen you in a long while, seeing as you had to work all the time, and though you lived in Vegas with them you didn’t live together so he never really got to see you. You looked like you had grown so much. Even if it had only been a couple of months since you saw him last. You seemed to have much more of a glow, and your eyes were brighter than normal. You looked beautiful and his heart was beating out of control. You see, Dakota had been in love with you for the longest time, he never told anyone for the obvious fact that you and Tanner were together and clearly in love. He would never do anything to jeopardize that, he wanted nothing but happiness for you and Tanner. 

(ok, I’m just gonna fill in a description of what the reader is wearing in this. Well in my mind at least. It’s a bit easier for me this way, so of course, as always and forever you can change this to anything you’d like, or of course, feel more comfortable in so it can be immersive for you!)

You wore a black turtle neck tucked into high-waisted black jeans, a long soft beige coat, and boots. Your hair was down and a bit messy, from the hat you had worn, your make-up was minimal as usual, barely anything. Dakota was absolutely taken with you and you had no idea. “I missed you so much Dakota,” you told him and pulled him in for another hug. “I missed you too, we need to hang out more, we can’t go this long again,” he said and you chuckled. “I agree, it has been way way too long without seeing my best friend,” you told him and kissed his cheek sweetly. You had always done that to your friends but to him, it always meant more. You meant more. 

“(y/n)!” you heard Alex call from behind you and your eyes lit up like Christmas lights. “Al!” you exclaimed and quickly made your way over to him to wrap him in a big hug. He lifted you up for a few seconds before setting you down. “Oh my gosh, it’s been so long. I have missed you so much,” you tell him with a big smile. “I know, I’ve missed you too. You look great, how have you been?” he asked with a big smile on his face. “Well thank you! You look great too, I’ve been doing good. Work is a bit difficult right now, but I’m really excited about the project I have coming up soon!” you explained to him. Tanner looked at the scene before him and smiled. He knew how much you missed everyone and it broke his heart that you couldn’t be around them like he could be. You had so much to do, and so did they, but they worked together so they were together more of the time. “She misses you guys like you wouldn’t believe it. Especially you, Kota, you’re her best friend.” Tanner spoke to Dakota while you continued your chat with Alex until Chelsea walked in. Dakota looked at Tanner curiously. “Really?” he asked him. “Yeah, it’s hard to hear how much she misses you all when I get to see you practically every day. So whenever she gets a chance to see you it’s so hard for her to walk away.” Tanner said softly looking at you, knowing how hard it was gonna be for you to say goodbye again. 

Dakota’s stomach turned and his heart ached at the thought of you so upset. He had no idea the toll it was taking on you, and he wished he did so he could try and fix it. He knew he wasn’t your boyfriend but he was still your best friend and it broke him to know how upset you really were. He was jealous of Tanner, for being the one who got to hold you every night and kiss you, telling you that everything would be ok. Telling you that he loved you every day and early morning.

He broke out of his mind when he saw you looking over at him expectantly. Tanner was holding your hand while you held your other out to him. “Dakota, c’mon, we’re gonna have some coco and play cards against humanity,” you said and gestured for him to take your hand. He smiled at your liveliness and took a hold of your hand. You innocently let your thumb run along the back of his hand as you held it and dragged them both over to the couch. They sat on the couch but you sat on the floor in between them. Playing cards against humanity while drinking coco was always something you had all done since you were teenagers and you did it every year. Without fail every year one of you would end up covered in hot chocolate from laughing too hard and spilling it.  

The game went on and of course this time it was Dakota who ended up covered in the warm drink. You got him off of the couch and led him to the bathroom to fix him up. “Alright, c’mere,” you said and took a wet washcloth to try and clean him off. “You know, it’s hard for me to say goodbye to you too,” he said and you felt your heart stop for a second. “Yeah, well I guess goodbyes are just hard for everyone aren’t they,” you said and smiled sadly at him. You had finished helping him clean up and just as you were about to leave the bathroom he pulled you back and into a hug. You hugged back tightly. “Life sucks without seeing you guys. I feel so lonely without you guys. All it is, is work, work, work, and I never get to see the people I love.” you told him. “It’ll be ok, we’ll make time for all of us to be together.” he comforted you. You both just sat there for a few seconds before pulling away. He wiped your eyes and smiled at you. “Thank you, Kota,” you said and squeezed his hand before letting go to walk out with him. “Alright, he is no longer covered in hot coco! Let’s continue!” you exclaimed with a chuckle and as you were about to sit down Tanner grabbed your waist and pulled you down onto his lap. You laughed and smiled up at him. He kissed the corner of your lips and then your cheek. Dakota looked at you both and his heart sunk. 

---

The game had ended and you were all just sitting around together catching up. 

“So, how is your writing going?” Chelsea asked you. “Oh, um, yeah it’s going good. I’ve been really busy with it, I have a project that’s coming up that I’m really excited to share with you guys,” you said and smiled at them all. You were extremely excited and you couldn’t wait to share it with them. 

“Can you give us any hints as to what it is?” Alex asked you. You were contemplating not giving them anything but you were too excited not to. 

“So, it’s very personal, and there is something written especially for you,” you told them all with a huge smile on your face. “Their eyes widened and Chelsea immediately got up and pulled you up from your seat and into a huge hug. That was when everyone was pulling you into hugs. Tanner pulled you into his arms and kissed you softly. He held you for a while longer before letting you go, and Dakota was the last to pull you into a hug. He held you tightly  “I’m so excited to read it, and I’m so proud of you.” he said and kissed your head. You pulled away from him, “I’m proud of you too Dakota,” you told him and pulled him into another short hug.

You sat down once again and grabbed your boyfriend’s hand and also grabbed Dakota’s hand as well giving it a few squeezes before letting go. “How have the road trips been?” you asked in curiosity. 

“Things have been good, I mean they’re scary as shit but good,” Chelsea said and you chuckled. “Well that seems wonderful, I really do wish I could go with you guys sometimes. I miss you all,” you said. “We miss you too, it’s tough not being with you guys all the time like we used to you know,” Alex said. You nodded your head, “Maybe we could go somewhere before we all have to leave.” Chelsea suggested. Your eyes lit up, and you sat up a bit straighter. “That would be awesome, we haven’t done that all together in years,” you said excitedly. “That seems like a great idea,” Tanner said and you smiled up at him. “That sounds awesome, the whole group together again,” Dakota said and you turned to smile at him as well. “The whole group.” you reaffirmed and he nodded back at you. “I love you guys,” you said and kept a soft stare at him for a second more before looking at everyone else. “We love you too,” Tanner said. 

Dakota’s heart was racing at the small moment you had, but though it was racing he could also feel it breaking. He knew you would never just look at him like that before leaning up to kiss him with all the love you could give. He knew he would never have that, but seeing the look in your eyes was giving him a small glimpse at what it would like to be with you. 

---

The night was coming to an end and so you and Tanner were getting ready to leave. You grabbed your coat and slipped it on before going to tell everybody goodbye. You pulled Chelsea into a big hug saying that you loved her and would see her later, you repeated the gesture with Alex and then Dakota. After you hugged him you raised your toes and kissed his cheek, “Thanks for being the best friend I could ever imagine having. I love you, Kota,” you said. He smiled at you broadly, “Love you too (y/n),” he said and kissed your head. 

You smiled and walked out the door to the car. Tanner opened your door and you got in after kissing him as a thank you. When he got in the car he said something that obviously made you laugh. Dakota watched for a second as you threw your head back laughing, and he smiled brightly. He was in love with you, he wanted to kiss you, and hold you when you’re sad or scared and show you how much he loved you every day. 

But he was ready to be your best friend through anything and if that was all he would get from you then that’s what he would accept. 

He would take the love you gave even if it wasn’t the kind of love he felt for you.

Favorite road trip memory with them- Tanner Wiseman x Reader

word count: 2023

warnings: fluffffffff!!!!!!!!!!!! also it is much longer than i thought it would ever be. I thought it would be the shortest one so hopefully it’s good! sorry again for all the delays

Summary: “Favorite road trip memory with them”

(not my pic!)

“Tanner!” you called as you exited the RV. the group had decided to stop for a bit at a park. Just get some air for a few hours, and so that is exactly what you did. Surprisingly there weren’t that many kids at the park and so lucky for you the merry-go was a free for all. He looked up at you from his place on the ground under the tree where everyone else was sitting as well. You had just run in to grab your phone to take some pictures when you came back out and saw from across the grassy area the empty merry-go-round. “What’s wrong babe?” he asked you as he saw you staring straight ahead. You lifted your hand and pointed at the play structure with a huge grin on your face. 

“Shit, she found it,” Alex said, and Chelsea, Dakota, and Tanner laughed. “We have to go on at least once! Please, just for some pictures! I need to remember this moment!” you exclaimed. “We’ll catch up,” Dakota said with a smile on his face. You nodded and quickly made your way across the green grass. You honestly didn’t care if they didn’t follow you, you were just happy to be outside, and have the opportunity to let go of adult responsibilities to do the things you did so freely when you were a child. So, because you knew you couldn’t exactly do the merry-go-round by yourself you went straight to the swings. When you got to the swings you sat down and sighed happily with a huge smile on your face. You started to swing slowly going higher and higher. You let out a loud laugh when you felt the wind in your hair, you felt the familiar feeling of butterflies in your stomach when you dropped back down and quickly swung back up. 

Your friends and boyfriend were more than halfway toward you and just talking when suddenly they heard your loud laughter. They all looked toward the sing and saw you going as high as you possibly could and it made them smile seeing you so carefree. They hadn’t seen you like this in a while and it was amazing to see how happy you were at this moment. Tanner took his phone out and took a few pictures and videos of you just laughing and smiling with the wind in your hair. “Hey, birdy!” Tanner yelled to get your attention. You looked down at them all, “Hey guys!” I’m finally Taller than you babe!” you shouted and Tanner chuckled. “I knew you could do it!” he yelled and you threw your head back in laughter. You smiled and slowed yourself to a stop and ran over to hug him tightly! He picked you up and spun you around, and you laughed. He set you down and kissed your head. You pulled away and went to grab his hand and as you pulled him along you passed by Alex and grabbed his hand as well tugging them both toward your beloved merry-go-round. Everyone rolled their eyes playfully and sighed. Once you got there you let them go and reached out for Chelsea’s hand. She looked at you, “Would you join me?” you asked in a posh accent. She laughed and nodded before taking your hand and climbing onto the twirling structure. 

You both sat down and held onto the bars, “Ok, you ready Chelsea?” you asked and looked at her with a smile. “I’m ready!” she exclaimed and you chuckled. “Alright, boys! Spin it!” you yelled. Each of them held onto a bar and gave it a strong spin keeping it going for a while. You and Chelsea were shouting and laughing trying not to slide around, holding on as tightly as possible. When the spinning subsided you still had a huge smile on your face and so did Chelsea. You tried your best to stand up but felt like your legs were jelly. You and Chelsea looked at each other and laughed as you each stumbled while trying to gain your balance back. You made your way over to her and wrapped her in a clumsy hug, little did you know that you were being filmed on Tanner’s phone. You tripped up a bit and both of you fell on the ground, you both went silent and looked at each other in surprise. Suddenly you and Chels burst into a fit of laughter, and that caused everyone else to as well. 

Dakota helped Chelsea off the ground and Tanner helped you. 

When Tanner got you off of the floor you kissed him softly and he held your waist to keep you steady. You pulled away from him and smiled he kissed your cheek. 

You took a step back and saw Alex looking down at his phone, and you could tell he wasn’t having a great day. You walked over to him and tapped his shoulder, “Hey, Al, are you ok?” you asked softly. He looked up at you and nodded. You knew he wasn’t great because of the last location. The last location was Hill View Manor, and he had to be sent to the hospital because of it. You could tell he was still feeling the effects of it, and it made your heart hurt for him. “Alex, will you come swing with me?” you asked him gently. He looked at you with a small smile. “Sure,” he said and let you take his hand. You didn’t pull him or tug him you walked next to him with a hand holding his just to let him know that you were there for him. You got to the swings and he sat down, and you kissed his head before sitting down as well. Tanner, Chelsea, and Dakota followed you both. He looked over at you with a smile. “I am going to swing higher than you,” you said with a grin. The others chuckled. You were swinging slightly unbeknownst to Alex you were giving yourself a head start. “Oh really?” he asked with a raised eyebrow. 

“Yup, so, I do challenge you to a swinging contest!” you exclaimed. He chuckled. “Alright then, let’s do it!” he shouted back and you laughed. 

“Now!” you said and kicked yourself off even higher. You had already been going before you started and so you were getting higher than he was already. “You cheater!” he yelled and you laughed loudly. 

Over time your legs got tired and Alex ended up winning, “Damn it!” you exclaimed in defeat. “I win!” he yelled and jumped off the swing with a huge smile. You were so happy to see a smile like that after everything that had happened. 

“Alright, my turn babe. I want the chance to win against you,” Tanner said and stepped up to your swing. You looked up at him and grinned, with a glint of competition in your eyes. “Bring it on tall boy!” you said. And everyone had their phones out to record, he was about to walk away before you reached out to grab his hand. “Wait, wait, wait!” you said and he turned to look at you with furrowed eyebrows. “Good luck kiss?” you asked with doe-eyes. He rolled his eyes before leaning down to press a kiss on your lips. It lasted for a few seconds before he pulled away. “I’m so gonna win now!” you exclaimed as he walked away with a big smile. He sat on the swing and Alex was making sure to watch that you didn’t give yourself a head start again. 

“Ready!” Chelsea yelled and you nodded you took a deep breath and nodded your head. Tanner nodded his head as well, “Go!” she yelled and immediately you kicked off as fast as you could. You continued to get higher and looked over at your boyfriend who was already higher than you. “No fair! You have long giraffe legs!” you shouted and tried even harder to gain more height quicker than him. “It’s not my fault you were born shorter than me!” he yelled and you laughed. “Yeah well It’s still not fair!” you spoke seriously while trying to hide your laughter. 

You couldn’t keep up with him and so you let yourself stop knowing that if you didn’t your legs would pay the consequences in the morning. “You win you asshole!” you sighed and they could hear the smile in your voice. Tanner cheered for himself and they cheered for him. “Oh wow, I feel so loved here too,” you said and they all chuckled and Tanner got off the swing to walk over to you. He kissed the top of your head and lifted your face so you would look at him. He chuckled and kissed your pouted lips, “C’mon babe, I’ll give you a piggyback ride to the RV.” he said and brushed your cheek. Your fake pout finally broke into a grin and you giggled. 

You got off of the swing and grabbed his hand, “I need food.” Alex suddenly said and you chuckled. “Me too, but wait! I need a picture of you guys!” you said and pushed them all together in front of the swings. You pulled out your phone and took a few pictures. “Alright! Let’s go!” you said and put your phone away.

“No! We’re getting a picture all together!” Dakota exclaimed. “Who’s gonna take the picture?” you asked with a shrug. 

“I will if you’d like.” a voice sounded from behind you. You turned around and saw a sweet-looking lady with her little girl. You smiled politely at her, “That would be amazing, thank you so much,” you thanked the kind woman. “Of course,” she said and you opened your camera on your phone and handed it to her. 

You ran to your friends and you suddenly jumped on your boyfriend’s back. He easily caught you and laughed. Everyone was smiling for the camera and you placed a kiss on his cheek for one of them. You got down and walked over to the woman thanking her once again for doing what she did. “Hey, would you like a picture of you and your daughter?” you asked politely. She looked at you with wide but joyful eyes. “That would be wonderful, thank you so so much,” she said and handed you her phone. She kneeled down so she could be more level with her and they both smiled brightly. Her mother held her tightly as you snapped the adorable pictures. She got up from her kneeling position and walked back over to you. She took the phone and thanked you, you smiled brightly at her and then felt a tug on your sweater. You looked down and saw this sweet girl with dark skin and beautiful curls, she had the sweetest eyes and smile. “Excuse me, I just wanted to say that, you and your boyfriend are really pretty together,” she said and your heart fluttered at the compliment. “Oh, why thank you gorgeous, I think you and you’re mother are two very beautiful people,” you said and she hugged your legs. You hugged her back as best as possible. When she let go you all said your goodbyes and went your separate ways. As promised Tanner leaned down so you could get on his back and he could carry you. 

You leaned down and kissed his neck and shoulder. 

“You know, you’re the reason behind all of my favorite moments on these trips. But I do think this will go down to be one of my favorites,” you said quietly so it was just him to hear it. “It has been a great one,” he said and kissed the arm that was hanging around his shoulder.  

“I know, it’s not scary or anything like that but it’s just so simple and carefree. It’s everything I needed. I love you “ you told him and he once again pressed a kiss on your arm. “It doesn’t have to be scary, it doesn’t have to be exciting, any moment with you is my favorite. Every memory with you is my favorite.”

Missouri State Penitentiary pt.5- Tanner Wiseman x Reader

Word count: 2793

warnings: language, some fluffy stuff, terrible barely there comedy that only i would find funny. I think that’s it!

Summary: Based on Season 3, Episode 4 of DF. so all credit goes to the crew, the show and the channel! Tanner is now back from his challenge, and it is time to split into groups. 

(not my pic. by the way I couldn’t find any gifs of Tanner during the investigation of death row with Dakota, so I just chose a picture of death row! I’m sorry guys!)

Tanner dragged you outside for some fresh air and immediately you were in his arms again. “I missed you so much baby, are you ok?” he asked you in concern. “Am I ok? More like are you ok? You were the one locked in the dungeon cell blindfolded and alone for three hours.” You spoke up and looked up at him. He could see guilt twinkling in your eyes. 

“I’m fine, it’s over now and I’m right here with you. That’s all I care about. It’s all ok.” he said and let his hands cup your face smoothing his thumb along your cheekbones. You relaxed into his touch and let out a content sigh. Guilt once again was clouding your mind and the urgent need to apologize made your eyes open and you pull away a bit. 

He looked at you with confusion and a flash of hurt. 

“Tanner, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry,” you said. “What are you sorry for babe, what’s going on?” he asked in concern. “I left you alone down there, I should’ve never let you do that. I didn’t even check on you, I feel horrible. I feel like a terrible girlfriend, I love you so much and I’m so sorry.” you cried. He took one small step forward and wrapped his arms around you as tightly as he could holding you against him trying to comfort you. 

“Sweetheart, it’s ok, I’m ok. You know I would’ve fought you on staying down there, you know how stubborn I am. And as for checking on me, it’s ok. I know that you were doing your part while I was down there. I understand, I know you love me and I love you even more. You don’t have to say sorry anymore. It’s all ok.” he whispered as he felt your shaking stop. “I do hope you know how much I love you,” you mumbled against his chest. He heard your delicate voice and pulled back so he could see your face. “You show me every day,” he said and leaned down to press his lips to yours. He could taste the salty tears on your lips but he didn’t mind. You reached up on your toes a bit and wound your arms around his neck pulling him even closer than you thought was possible. His hands gripped your waist tightly as his tongue swiped across your bottom lip. You let out a small moan at the feeling and opened your mouth for him to explore even though he had done it a million times before it always made your heart flutter. 

The need for air got the best of you and so with heavy reluctance, you pulled away from him. Your eyes were bright and a smile had etched itself across your kiss swollen lips. His expression mirrored yours along with pink-tinged cheeks. 

“How did you do without me there babe? Did they take care of you?” he asked softly wanting to know if his girl was taken care of. 

“I was scared without you, I had to hold Alex’s hand for a while because I didn’t want to get lost. It was extremely dark and I kept thinking that I saw things. I survived though, but without them, I don’t think I would’ve lasted five minutes.” You explained to your boyfriend. “I’m glad they took care of you, but I’m here now too and I won’t leave your side again I promise,” he assured you and kissed your head. You nodded and leaned into him one more time before trying to accept the fact that the night wasn’t over. 

“Hey, sorry to interrupt but it’s time to start up again.” Chels poked her head out the door to speak to you. “Thanks, Chels, we’ll be right there,” Tanner answered her as she nodded her head and stepped back inside. You took a deep breath and held him tighter before letting go and stepping back. “I won’t leave you I promise,” he said and grabbed your smaller hand to guide you back into the building with everyone else waiting for you. 

Tanner held the door open as you stepped inside to grab your camera and get ready to begin the next part of your investigation. 

“This has been a very creepy night. We’ve had a lot of activity but we still have a lot more to see. Before we go to bed I want to split into groups, one of 3 and one of 2.” Dakota told everyone the next part of the overnight which all of you expected. This is one of your least favorite parts of the night, and so you took a deep breath to try and calm your nerves. 

“Chelsea and Alex if you want to go the gas chamber.” Chelsea let out an exasperated sigh. 

“Me, Tanner, and (y/n) will go over to death row.” you let out a sigh of relief knowing you were going to be with Tanner. If anyone had noticed the smile that came across your face they knew the reason and never questioned it for obvious reasons. Tanner smiled at you and you mouthed a thank you to Dakota for his pairings. He just smiled. 

“Do I get to see this time?” Your boyfriend quipped, and it made you giggle. 

“Even if you couldn’t you know I’d help you even though it may be a bit disastrous at some point.” You jived. “Oh shut up.” he playfully said. 

You all began to head out to your group’s separate locations. 

“Bye.” Chelsea and Alex spoke, “See you guys.” Dakota bid farewell as you walked your different ways. “Have fun in the gas chamber.” “Give Bonnie my love!” You called to them. You could just tell that Chelsea rolled her eyes.”Oh, I sure will!” Alex sarcastically called back.

“Have fun in Death row,” Alex said and you chuckled. “Oh, we will,” Dakota replied. 

“I’m honestly so nervous about this.” You spoke up. “That makes two of us.” Dakota agreed. 

“Make that three.” your boyfriend added. “At least there’s three of us.” You stated. 

You all took your first steps down the stairs of Housing Unit 3. Once again you were behind Dakota but in front of Tanner so that you wouldn’t get easily separated. 

“Alright well, let’s go find death row,” Dakota said as he lead you and Tanner further down the stairs. “Oh crap, I hate this already and we’re not even that far into the building yet,” you said nervously. 

“Oh my goodness.” You heard Dakota speak as he entered the long hallway. 

“This is death row,” he said. 

You continued down the hallway in silence just taking everything in that you could through a screen and the small amount of light the flashlights gave off. You started to get a bad feeling and so you looked back to see if your boyfriend was still behind you, to your relief he was walking right behind you. The thought of him being with you now after what felt like forever of not having him made your heart rate even out just the slightest bit. You felt your shoulders relax a little bit and you let out a breath you didn’t know you were holding. “Hey, you ok babe?” you heard Tanner’s voice and you turned back to look at him. “Yeah, yeah, I’m ok,” you spoke softly and smiled warmly at him. 

“Want to know something interesting?” Dakota asked you both, and it made you turn your attention to him. “Sure.” you agreed to his offer. 

“Number 18 right here,” he said and went to point out the cell to you both. “This was Bonnie Heady’s cell. Before she was sent to the gas chamber. and then two over in number 20 was where her boyfriend was.” He explained. You walked further down the hall so you could see the cell and hear him better. 

“Both Bonnie and Carl were put to death together at the same time in the gas chamber.” he finished. It made you shiver, the thought of a couple being put to death at the same time in the same room made you cringe. Especially knowing the things they had done to get themselves there. 

“That’s insane, it makes my skin crawl just knowing what they did to get themselves put to death and at the same time. It’s just gross, it’s terrible.” You said. 

“I know, it’s awful to think about.” your boyfriend agreed as he stood behind you, though his flashlight was in hand he wrapped his arm around your shoulders to keep you close even if only for a second. 

You and the boys decided it would be a good idea to sit down and just let the silence hang in the air for a minute, asking if any noise could be made. 

“We’re going to be silent for one minute. If you could make a noise in the direction that you are so that we know where to go.” Dakota spoke in the dark. 

Only seconds into the silence a loud noise breaks it and you let out a scream and grab onto your boyfriend. Dakota lets out a shout as well.

“Oh! God! Ahh!” 

Your boyfriend let out a chuckle and leaned over to press a kiss on the top of your head stifling his small bout of laughter. 

Dakota picked up the walkie with an annoyed smile before answering his sister.

“Hey, what’s up?” he asked. You chuckled at how exhausted he sounded. 

“Oh my god. I’m sorry, Just had to do it. I don’t even know what to say I’m so overwhelmed right now.” Chelsea’s voice came through. Your eyebrows pulled together in confusion. 

“We’re sitting outside right now because we feel so strongly That we are not supposed to be in there.” your eyes widened and you hoped and prayed it wouldn’t be a sleeping location although knowing Dakota it most definitely would be one. 

You and the boys got up and headed out to meet up with Alex and Chelsea. Your mind was stuck on the gas chamber and the feeling they got in there. Tanner noticed you slowing down and matched your pace. “Babe, are you ok?” he asked you gently. You looked up at him at the sudden sound of his voice breaking your train of thought. 

“I’m just nervous about sleeping tonight. The gas chamber is making me more nervous now. I don’t want to be there alone.” you told him and he placed his arm around you once again while still keeping the aim of his flashlight ahead of you. “I’m nervous too but hey, it will only be a couple of hours and then we won’t ever have to come back here. We’ll be safe I promise,” he said and kissed your temple. You leaned into his side as you walked. 

From a few feet away you heard Chelsea’s voice. 

“The second we walked through those doors, you just knew that you were not alone. I knocked three times and, like, something knocked back louder than I was knocking.” She explained what happened and it made you shift uncomfortably. 

“Holy shit, I swear if I have to sleep there Bonnie or some shit is gonna kill me. So you better be prepared now to find me in the morning most definitely not alive.” you sassed. They chuckled. “Oh shut up, you won’t die.” Chelsea jabbed back playfully. You scrunched up your nose and stuck your tongue out at her making her let out a laugh which then caused you to laugh as well. 

“And to add on to it we were getting the most intelligent responses on the ovilus that we have ever gotten.” Alex increased your hatred for the spot even more. “And now, someone’s about to be sleeping in there alone,” Dakota said. 

“All fucking alone!” you strongly reiterated. 

You all headed back to the gear room you were walking beside both Tanner and Chelsea. 

“This is the worst part,” Chels complained. “I have no standing to object that opinion in the slightest,” you said and they both looked at you with raised brows. “Why was that even the slightest bit formal?” Tanner chuckled. “Because I felt the need for it to be. It’s me trying to leave a comedic legacy after my death tonight.” you joked. Chelsea nudged your shoulder. “You will not die. But if you do, you’ve left everything to me right?” she asked. You looked at her incredulously and placed your free hand over your heart. “Is that even a question that need be asked? Of course, I’ve left it all to you,” you spoke theatrically. She laughed at you and it made a grin break out on your face. 

“What about me? I’m your boyfriend.” Tanner pipped up. You turned to look at him. 

“Well, maybe I could let you have that box of pop tarts we have at home…” you trailed off. He just looked at you and rolled his eyes. It made a smile form on your face. “Don’t worry, I’ll let everyone have at least something of mine to remember me by,” you said and weaved your arm around Tanner’s. He looked down at you and chuckled. “I love you (y/n).” he said and your eyes beamed up at him “I love you too Tanner,” you said and came to a halt so you could press your lips against his. The kiss was sweet and short but the love was so real and so present it made your heart skip. You pulled away with a smile. “C’mon let’s get this location over with so we never have to come back!” you called as you winked playfully at him and jogged away. He smiled and shook his head before heading after you. 

You got to the gear room and got everything together before picking up where you left off. 

“Right now it is the dreaded time of night, where we have to separate and go to bed. The reason why we do this is that we believe when you’re alone that you are much more susceptible to paranormal activity.” Dakota explains the idea to the audience as he usually does. 

“Before we even get into this. I just want to say all four sleeping arrangements are in their own building,” he said. Your eyebrows furrow and confusion floods your mind. 

“Wait, what? Why are there only four sleeping arrangements?” you question. 

“We’ll explain in a minute,” Dakota told you. You stood there in confusion. 

“First we have Housing Unit 1, and then we have the dungeon cell, then we have the gas chamber, for our fourth and final sleeping arrangement. I’ve been saving this place for last. We haven’t even seen it yet and that is the 3D Punishment cell. The first time someone will see it will be when they’re in there alone.so those are our four sleeping arrangements.” he finished. It made you even more nervous now, not knowing what was going on at all. 

“Now, to answer your question (y/n). We have decided as a group that we are in no way letting you sleep alone. Therefore you will be with Tanner at whatever location he gets.” Dakota told you. Your jaw dropped. “Are you kidding me? You can’t bend the rules for me.” You said in bewilderment. “Yes, we can, and we are. So you are just gonna have to deal with it. We are not here to torture you, you have your limit and I’ve already done too much to push it. I’m not shoving you even further. You deserve this break for tonight ok.” Dakota explained his reasoning. 

You looked at him with hesitance although your heart was practically soaring at the thought of not being alone for the rest of the night and having your boyfriend next to you.”

“If you think that’s best, but just know that I would never bend the rules for myself ok. If you want me to do this solo I’ll power through it,” you said to them. “Absolutely not. We know you would do it, but just know that you don’t have to and that’s ok because we want you to feel as safe as possible.” Chelsea told you kindly.

Your eyes began to water knowing that you had friends who loved and cared for you. 

You nodded your head. “I love you guys. Thank you for everything.” You said. 

“We love you too babe, even more,” Tanner said and kissed your head. 

“Are you ready to enter the beginning of the end?” 

“With you? Always,” you said and wrapped your arms around him. The rest of the group had big smiles on their faces.
