You sat in the co-pilot’s chair, arms crossed and leaning back.  Tech sat in the pilot’s chair, tinkering with some self-made miniature droid.  Everyone else was asleep, Echo in his hammock, Hunter, Wrecker, and Crosshair each in their respective bunks.  The ship was decently quiet, except for Wrecker’s occasional snoring, which, honest to Kad Ha'rangir, sounded like a Venator class star-destroyer powering up.  Contrasting the man’s tremendous snores, the hyper-drive produced a nice and constant low hum, with beeps sounding out every once in a while.  Tech’s screws and wrenches would clang out, and the sound of sparks would startle you into a more awake state each time it occurred.
Although there was no way he could know, seeing as your helmet was facing directly out the view-port, you were staring from the corner of your eyes.  Hard.  The way he effortlessly moved his fingers across the droid, connecting and severing wires from point A to point B, or how the golden sparks would illuminate his face and reflect off his goggles, casting a beautiful glow that you simply couldn’t get enough of.  Truthfully, you couldn’t have been more grateful for your helmet and culture, knowing full well he would have caught on to your… tendencies, and quick, if you didn’t wear it- bearing all your embarrassing expressions out to the world.
You knew it was bad to be feeling like this.  They were in the middle of war, which was no time for romantic relationships.  And, truthfully, you didn’t even know if Tech, or anyone else, liked you.  For all you knew, they simply had high tolerance for annoyingly secretive men they were assigned to work with.  You had always avoided questions about the culture you grew up with, obviously always avoided taking off your helmet, and hardly took off any of your armor- even when it came time to sleep.  Which must have been unsettling for them, or anyone, really, you were sure.  Someone who was highly skilled in fighting, but never took anything off, always electing to remain in the armor that was most certainly not a comfort to sleep in.  And, clearly, the fact that, out of nowhere, the Republic had hired and assigned you to them.  They had every reason not to trust you- or to, at the least, not like you.
And you had no clue what to do to lessen that mistrust.  Telling them about your culture was out of the question- you couldn’t deal with the…issues revolving when, if at all, anyone would be close enough to take off your helmet.  they might think they were close enough, but you didn’t.  Or, even worse, you might think you were close enough, but they didn’t.  And, Kriff, if they caught on to you hypothetically taking off your helmet more around Tech than the others, they would easily piece together your feelings.
But, hey, maybe you were wrong.  Maybe they found you at least somewhat amusing, somewhat useful, somewhat not a nuisance.  And maybe, just maybe, Tech would even feel the same way.  Doubtful, but since when was love logical?  A beep came through, pulling you out of the deep pits of overthinking and alerting Tech.  He lifted up his head, temporarily setting down the project.  Tracing his fingers over the wheel and control-panel.  “We have almost arrived.  Would you go and wake up everyone?”
You stood up, stretching your arms as far as they could go, audibly groaning.  “Sure thing, boss.”  You first walked to Echo, shaking him gently.  He was an easy sleeper, after everything.  Hunter could sleep well once he was in it, but otherwise, his enhanced senses made it difficult.  Crosshair was easy enough, not incredibly difficult, but you wouldn’t wake him up by simply walking around either.  Wrecker, on the other hand, slept like a rock.  You found out within the first week of your stay that his brothers would simply punch Wrecker in the shoulder, hard, to wake him up.  Hunter had explicitly granted you permission to do the same.
That being said, you wound up your arm before slugging Wrecker square in the shoulder, earning a startled grunt from him.  Once he registered what was happening, he lopsidedly smiled and mumbled a good morning of sorts.  After the four men were awake, you headed back to the cockpit, electing a chair further in the back so they could all sit closer- a common practice.  Hunter gave the mission debrief- same old, same old.  Just beat up a bunch of droids, and nothing special about this mission.  Echo and Hunter had a smaller, but more advanced battalion of droids to defeat within the building, so they needed to go radio-silent.  Crosshair and Wrecker would take a larger battalion, as would you and Tech.  After everyone was 100% certain in their role, everyone split up.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Kriff, this was not going well.  Blaster fire everywhere, explosions left and right, and the only Batch member you could see was Tech, double-blasting his way through any droid he saw.  You used a batch of whistling birds, each miniature missile hitting its mark.  Not that the few dozen marks did much damage against the entire droid battalion circling you two.  You reached for the pouch on your hip, which carried the multitude of bombs and droid poppers necessary for war.  Much to your dismay, there was only one bomb left.  And for better or worse, it was a giant bomb.  It would be incredibly difficult to evade- for both you and the droids.  It was designed with the intent of being far above the enemy- not 10 feet away from them.  But this was your only chance- if you could pair the main explosion and send out half a dozen droid poppers while the rest of them were distracted- it would be a victory.  And perhaps if you could run fast enough, dive, and get as many droids behind you to take the majority of the impact- perhaps you’d make it out relatively unscathed.
And, not that in a million light years would you ever admit it, the most important part- Tech would be safe if you pulled off this stunt.  You’d be able to get rid of at least one third of the droids with the large bomb alone, and sending out droid poppers in every direction during that opening would eliminate, at minimum, three quarters of the remaining droids.  All in all, Tech would have only a handful of clankers left, he would be safe, and the mission objective would be claimed as a victory.  Might as well.
“Run south!” you shouted over the blaster fire, instructing Tech.  For a split second he thought to question you, but decided against it.  He knows what he’s doing, and there’s no time to object, he concluded.  Tech sent a nod your way before running, still blasting his way through what was close.  As soon as he was out of range, you pulled the bomb from the waist pouch.  Maker, did you hope this will work.  You stared at the bomb, hoping you would be shown mercy, as if the bomb was a sentient being capable of choosing who to blast and who to not.  With a remorseful sigh, already having spent too long wondering and not doing, you reared your arm back and threw the ball as far as physically capable.
As soon as the sphere of mass destruction left your hand, you bolted- sending out droid poppers in different directions every few seconds, hoping to any god or higher being that they would take the majority of the impact, and not you.
Unfortunately, any and all higher beings seemed to be tastefully against you today.  You felt the heat and force before you heard it.  A stinging sensation sprung throughout your entire body, sending you crashing forward, groaning.  Apparently, you were not far away enough, and there were not enough droids to take the majority of the impact.  Kriff.  There was an excruciating ringing in your ears, or head-?  You weren’t sure, but it was loud and annoying as hell.  The last droid popper rolled from your palm, effectively killing off the half-dozen clankers headed over.
Although it was primarily obscured by the horrendous ringing in your ears, you could pick up faint sounds of blaster fire and metallic bodies hitting the ground.  You shakily got on your hands and knees, one arm clenched tightly over the stomach region, and lifted your head, groaning.  Although it was incredibly difficult to make out in this delirious state, you saw Tech running towards you.  He’s safe, was all you could think.  The mission was a success and he was safe, what else could someone ask for?  With that, there was no longer any reason to stay awake.
You promptly collapsed onto the cold ground, rolling over, hand still clutched.  You were coughing up blood, which just fell back down to your helmet and mouth, casing your cheeks and lips.  “Y/N!” Tech yelled, attempting to keep you awake and responsive- not his most successful attempts. You felt him lift your body upwards, examining the damage.  A shattered off droid piece had pierced through your abdomen, front to back.  Blood coated your armor, turning it from (color) to a dark ugly mess of browns and reds.  His eyes trailed over you, ever worried.  He and his brothers had never faced such an extreme injury, except for Wrecker’s large scar on his head.
“I need to take off your helmet.  I can hear you coughing up blood,” Tech informed.  You attempted to push him off, delirious of the extremity of the situation.  You were not ready to cross that bridge yet.  Tech felt bad, he did.  Even though he couldn’t possibly understand why a culture would not allow someone to simply remove a helmet, he would respect it, and he would respect you.  But in a situation like this, it truly didn’t matter.  If your helmet didn’t come off, you'd drown in your own blood before dying of the shrapnel was even a possibility.
“That was not a request, it was me informing you of what I’m going to do.”  You wanted to give him a smart-ass response, truly, but you couldn’t speak coherently, let alone think of one.  Accepting defeat in this minor battle, your head lolled back into his palm, coughing once again.  He placed his hand under your chin, just on the edge of the helmet, and carefully lifted.  The helmet hissed as he pulled it off, and your eyes squinted harshly at the bright light, now surrounding you from all sides, not just the visor.  This was not how you wanted him to see your face.
Tech grimaced.  Clear from the blood and sweat caking your mouth and cheeks, you had already coughed up a large amount of blood, and he highly doubted it’d be stopping anytime soon.  “Okay…I’m going to move you to that rock over there- you need to be more vertical than horizontal if I am to treat your injuries.”  A mumble was the only response he got.  Tech put his hand on your back, roping underneath your arm.  Using his other arm to support your lower back, he lifted, and despite all his effort in being gentle, it didn’t do much.  Even though the rock in question was only, at most, twenty feet away, it seemed like an impossible task.
With each step, despite Tech supporting the majority of your weight, it felt like another piece of droid shrapnel shooting though you.  Everything became more fuzzy by the second, dizziness overcoming you.  “We are almost there,” he said, observant of your worsening state.  After what felt like an eternity, you had arrived at the large rock.  He turned you around and gently placed you on the rock, blood coating his armor.
Reaching to his waist pockets, Tech pulled out a pair of tweezers, a large roll of bandages, and bacta-spray.  “I will cut space around your chest plate and clothing.  Do not move.”  You groaned, looking up at the sun.  Perhaps you shouldn’t have done the “throw a bomb and hope you outrun it to save someone else’s skin” plan.  Now you’d need a new chest plate and under-armor clothing.  Fantastic.  Tech pulled out a new set of tools, all to cut the chest plate.  Luckily, the hole was jagged and cracked, so finding a good place to further the diameter would not be incredibly difficult.
Tech carefully pulled out bits of the chest plate, making the hole larger by the second.  Unfortunately, him cutting that close, despite his best efforts, still applied far more pressure than you would like on your wound.  It was not a pleasant experience, to say the least.
“I am finished cutting around the front of your chest plate,” he said, breaking the tense silence.
“Okay…” you breathed out, voice shaky and dry.  He looked at you with pity before quickly tearing through the cloth, all too close to the droid bit.  He noticed your extreme uncomfort, face scrunched up, trying not to cry.  He felt pity towards you, but there was no time for any of that.  If he wasn’t quick and adequate, you could very well die.  Tech’s point was emphasized by another fit of blood coming up, some blood dripping on his armor as your head came forward.
He grimaced, using his thumb in a feeble attempt to wipe off the new blood.  “Can you lean forward while I cut open your back?” he asked, unsure whether or not it would be required to fully turn you around.  “Mhm…I think I can manage,” you mumbled, barely above a whisper and hardly intelligible.  You rocked forward, arms outstretched to hold up your weight.  Tech carefully moved behind you before repeating the process.
Eventually, Tech deemed the cloth and armor to be far away enough from the droid.  He would pull out the droid, then fully take off your armor and clothing, apply bacta-spray, and wrap you up.  Once you were on the ship, he could dig out any excess sharpanel.  Then everything would be fine.  He concluded that the best way to get it out was to not let you know.  He deduced that you were, more than likely, not thinking rationally- and even if you were injured, you were still heavily trained, and he didn’t want to risk you trying to push him off if there was a warning for what was to come.  To be fair, doing it suddenly would surprise you, which wouldn’t be much better, but your reaction time was certainly delayed, so it was still the best option.
“Lean back.”  You obliged, hitting the back of the rock and letting your head fall backwards.  While you were still looking upwards, he gripped the droid piece with both hands.  Pulling hard was most certainly not the best option, but he had already spent too much time clearing the space, and there was no equipment for performing the removal in a safe manner.  You would have to deal with it.
Tech pulled on the droid, and he pulled hard.  Your eyes went wide, and you lurched forward, hands grasping at the wound.  Short, ragged breaths filled the sound of the field, paired with the metallic clattering of the droid being tossed aside.  Tech cupped your face in his hands, looking into your eyes.  If you weren’t in so much agony, you would’ve been a flustered, blubbering mess.  “Hold still and do exactly as I tell you.  I need to dig out the smaller shrapnel, but the bleeding must stop soon.  There can be no distractions.”
At this point, you could hardly respond, choking on any words you attempted to form.  Now that the droid was removed, Tech could slip your chest plate off.  “Put your arms up and do not take them down until both your chest plate and clothing have been removed.”  Vision blurry and shaky, you lifted your arms despite them feeling like a hundred pounds each.  Quickly, Tech pulled up on your chest plate, immediately discarding it among the other debris in the field.  Following immediately after, he lifted up your shirt, slightly more conscious of the injury since the cloth was brushing directly against it.
As soon as he finished discarding your shirt, your hands fell limp once again, and you collapsed onto the rock.  Tech quickly doused the affected area with bacta-spray, not particularly caring if it got it more space than needed.  He needed to be quick, and there would be more time later to fix everything.  He positioned himself behind you, legs wrapped around to give you support as he cleaned the back, making sure to wipe off any large chunks of dirt or pieces of rock.  After your back and front were successfully doused in bacta, he re-positioned himself and you.
He moved about two feet away from the rock, legs straddling your waist.  He had turned you around, eyes meeting each other once more.  Your arms were gripping his shoulders, shaking with every breath.  Tech carefully reached around and grabbed the bandages, unfurling them.  He started at your waistline, moving upwards with each layer of binding.  He would carefully glance over your shoulder and angle himself to see your back to ensure it was all going smoothly- or, at least, as smooth as something like this could go.  The bandages had finally reached above your wound, before reaching over your shoulder for extra support and coming back down for a double layer.  Despite the wrappings having been on for less than ten minutes, the blood was already tainting the once white fabric.
“I am finished,” Tech spoke, finishing off the last layer and grabbing your waist to pull you closer.  He carefully grabbed his comm to relay his position and the situation to the rest of the Batch.  He knew it would have been useless to comm beforehand, as Hunter and Echo were radio-silent while Wrecker and Crosshair were dealing with a smaller squadron of droids.  But now that you were safe- or as safe as possible considering everything- and the rest of the Batch had their objectives completed, he could call them.
“Hunter, I need a pickup at the valley in between the two ridges where the droid squadron was.  Immediately- (Y/N) has been injured.  I have applied bacta and bandages, but it is not adequate.  We must get to proper medical care as quickly as possible.”
“Got it, Tech.  We’re on our way, just hang on,” Hunter replied, voice glitchy and faded out through the comm.  Tech pulled you closer, your head resting on his shoulder.  He placed his hands on your infraspinatus, rubbing small circles in them repeatedly.  The telltale humming of the Marauder approached, blocking out the sun and casting a shadow over the field.  The ship turned to its side before touching down about ten feet away, ramp opening.  Wrecker ran out, panic clearly written on his face.  He slowed down as he approached you, face falling more by the second.
“Wrecker, be careful around his abdomen, that is where the implication occurred.  Do not run or jostle (Y/N) too much, he can not sustain any more injuries than what he already has.”  Wrecker nodded in understanding before gently picking you up, hands under your thighs.  He placed your head in the crook of his neck, out of respect for you never taking off the helmet and hiding your face.  Your arms were draped over his back, bouncing with each step he took, despite the effort to be more gentle.
With a tired groan, you lifted your head up, eyes peering over Wreckers shoulder to be met with Tech’s.  He had stood up and taken off his helmet, the light gray armor tainted and stained with your blood.  You felt the incline of the ramp as Wrecker entered the Marauder, and the sounds of scattered feet and clattering could be heard.  Shortly after Wrecker had entered the ship, Tech followed suit, your helmet and chest plate in hand.  “Tech, what’s the deal with (Y/N)?  What do we need to do?”
“(Y/N) threw a bomb which effectively killed off the majority of the droid army, but was hit with debris in his escape.  He was regurgitating blood and had a large piece of a droid lodged in his abdomen.  I…have cleaned the wound, albeit quickly and not as efficiently as I would have hoped.  Clearly, I have bandaged him and removed the primary source of implication, but did not have time to adequately search through for smaller pieces of shrapnel.  We should not remove his bandages until we are on Kamino.  Someone should be watching him for the duration of the trip until we arrive, and we should attempt to minimize his sleeping until he has proper medical care.”
As Tech explained the situation, Wrecker re-positioned you into a more “bridal style” carrying, before gently setting you down on his bed and slipping his arms out from underneath you, all while avoiding your face.  Your head was propped up on Lula, and Wrecker draped a blanket over your body, the edge draping off the bunk.  He stood still for a second, glancing around nervously.  Tech came up behind him, placing a hand on Wrecker’s shoulder.  “Go in the cock-pit and help with the course.  I will stay here to ensure everything is alright.  There is no need to worry.  If I do require aid, I will request it.”  Wrecker glanced past his shoulder at his brother, sending a short smile of thanks before hurrying off to the cock-pit.  Tech carefully sat down on the edge of Wrecker’s bed, just beside your feet.  The bed made a small creaking noise and dipped ever so slightly.  Tech sighed, back slouching.  He glanced once more at your form, eyebrows furrowed.  You two would be having quite the serious conversation later.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Hunter walked up to the bunk, staring before finally saying something.  “Tech- we’re coming into Kamino.  Take the wheel and comm in (Y/N)’s situation.  I’ll get him prepped and Wrecker will carry him till the medical team shows up.”  Tech nodded in agreement and stood up, walking to the cock-pit.  Hunter glanced down at you, avoiding your face.  He had a few of his spare bandannas in hand, ready to wrap up the majority of your face out of respect.  It wouldn’t be perfect by any means, but any face covering would be better than nothing for you, he reasoned.  Trying his best not to look, Hunter lifted up your head and placed four bandannas on it- two on your forehead, and just one each for your nose bridge and chin.  As soon as your face was covered, he re-angled himself to tie the knot behind your head.
After your face was covered as well as anyone would do while still minimizing the risk of further complications, he carefully pulled the blanket away and lifted you up, cautious of the injury.  He stayed with you until Wrecker and Tech came, the ship having landed.  “There should be medical personnel on their way.  I requested that a droid be the one to attend to (Y/N)’s injuries, but whether or not they listened is… uncertain,” Tech said, glancing over at you, worry evident by the slight crease in his eyes and furrow of his eyebrows.  Hunter was slightly surprised at his brother’s concern for your culture.  There was no reason to explicitly request for a droid, but he did so nonetheless.  Usually, Tech would not have cared for such things- so long as the objective was completed and no-one was severely harmed, what did it matter if some cultural lines were crossed?
Hunter’s thoughts were interrupted by Wrecker picking you up bridal style once again, head draped back and arms dangling.  His loud stomps echoed through the metal corridor, and it was all Tech could focus on.  Which had never happened before- just focusing on one thing and one thing alone.  But here he was, watching Wrecker exit the Marauder, you in hand- unclear if you would survive, and the only thing he was aware of was the echoing of Wrecker’s footsteps, you disappearing along with them.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Tech waited anxiously outside the med-bay door, leg bouncing up and down.  The halls were quiet and deserted, only a lone wandering Kaminaon or clone every dozen or so minutes.  Tech didn’t know if he preferred the silence or the possibility of crowded and loud halls, people shoving past each other non-stop.  He was fairly sure they were both equally terrible options.  Hunter had stayed with him a while, but he needed to get back to the rest of the squad- Tech didn’t blame him.  He held your helmet in his hands, looking over every detail- every mark, burn, dent, scratch, paint chip, design and patterns and colors- everything.  Although, logically, he knew it was very likely that either you or one of his brothers, or himself, would die in this line of work, knowing about it didn’t quite reach the same levels as nearly experiencing it.
The doors slid open, AZ emerging.  Tech immediately sat straight up, more alert than ever.  Before he could even begin asking questions, AZ began speaking.  “(Y/N) (L/N) will fully recover within about 8 rotations.  He is no longer bleeding and all sharnale has been removed and the wound has been treated.  He is to remain on bed-rest until I give the say so.”  Tech didn’t even bother to respond, all he could do was practically jump into the room and land beside your bed.  You looked up at him, trying your best to smile- he was not amused.  In fact, Tech was at a loss for words.  Tech was never at a loss for words.
Actually, scratch all of that.  Tech had an abundance of words for you.  That much was obvious by the way his face went from “soft and glad you were okay” to his signature “are you kriffing kidding me?” look with an extra splash of anger.  Your smile immediately fell.
“What were you thinking- I mean, you decided to throw a bomb which you had no chance of outrunning and for what?  That was the most illogical and poorly thought out plan I have ever seen, and I have seen some very stupid things.”  It was clear he had more to say, but he figured he’d save it for another time.  Tech glared at you for a second longer before pulling up a chair beside the bed.
He let out a long sigh, pinching the bridge of his nose.  “You…are intelligent enough to have realized the risks.  Just explain why you took such… idiotic ones.”
Silence.  “I…I figured that if… you could get out of range, that would be enough.  I would throw the bomb and get far away enough to survive, taking out any more droids in the escape.  Then, you’d be… fine.  I mean, the odds weren’t exactly in our favor, Tech- we were losing that battle- hard.  We’d probably both be dead if I hadn’t done what I did.”  Tech glanced down, thinking over your words.  As much as he hated to admit it- you were right.  There may have been another way he would’ve come up with to save your hides, but at the moment- your actions did save them.
“I… am sorry I saw your face.  Although I do not understand why a culture would prohibit someone from showing their face- I respect you, and so I do apologize.  If it is any consolation, I requested droids only for the medical staff, and Hunter had wrapped up your face as much as he could.  Nobody really saw your face- just small fragments of it- except for me, obviously.”
You were silent, bandaged and calloused hands wringing around each other.  “It’s… it’s alright.  In my Clan, you are allowed to take off your helmet with… certain people.  Those you consider… close.  You can take off the helmet around those types of people.”  You glanced up, eyes just barely meeting.  He gulped nervously.  No-one outside of his brothers had ever considered him close- and if his hypothesis was right- this type of “close” you were describing was most certainly new- not the type of bond one shares with his brothers.
“Are you… implying that you have a romantic interest in me, (Y/N)?” Tech asked cautiously, as though each word represented him taking another step closer to the edge of a thousand-foot drop.
“Is that alright?” you asked tentatively, turning to properly face him, eyebrows slightly furrowed.
“Well… it is not standard military protocol to… intermingle.”  Your gaze fell downwards, grimacing.  So much for a confession.
Then he continued.  “But we have never been ones to follow protocol.”  Your mouth went slightly agape, and you looked back up at him.  Your eyes met each other, and he smiled.  He didn’t smile often.  Tech reached out hesitantly and grabbed your hand, rubbing circles in it.  You placed your free hand on his, like a weird romantic sandwich, and let your head fall back, closing your eyes in satisfaction.
“Y’know- if I knew all it would take to confess and know you reciprocated was to have a near-death experience, I would've done it way before.”
Tech jumped back slightly- “‘All it would take?’” he asked, mocking you.  His eyes were wide in disbelief at your disregard for such an event.  His face was absolutely golden, and you started laughing- evidently, far too much since within a few seconds you were clutching your side in pain.  Tech now wore a mixture of his “I told you so” and “that was not amusing” faces, judging you heavily.
"Regardless, AZ informed me that you would need an 8-day bed rest.  And as you do not contain your own proper sleeping area, you may share with me.  This way I can closely monitor you at the same time.  It will be greatly beneficial.”
You cocked your eyebrow, looking directly at him.  “If you wanted to cuddle, you could’ve just said so.”
“If you are to keep up this behavior in my sleeping quarters, I will not hesitate to kick you out- both figuratively and literally.  Perhaps I’ll just make your “visiting time” as terrible as possible.  I am not above such actions.”  You scoffed at him, rolling your eyes in a playful manner.
“Here- I made certain that I had kept your helmet.  The chest plate was practically unsalvageable, but it is currently on the Marauder.  Although you are… comfortable without it around me, it seems, I assumed you would want it for the walk back.  Am I correct?”
“You're always correct, and you know that.  Thank you, Tech.”  You carefully slid the detailed helmet on your head, somewhat sad.  Although it was clear that you would need to wear it in the halls and in front of his brothers, you still felt sad you two couldn’t enjoy more time, faces and secrets and emotions and everything exposed for the better.  You let the brief moment of sadness wash over- it was better to be grateful.  I mean, Tech reciprocated!  You couldn’t have asked for anything better.
“Let me assist you in getting up- you are most certainly not fit to walk by yourself,” he said.  You obliged, his arms coming up underneath your armpits and hauling you off the bed.  You quickly found your grounding, and swung an arm around Tech’s shoulders.  You two trudged down the long and barren halls of Kamino until reaching your designated barracks, pausing slightly at the door.
You don’t think you’ve ever felt such joy.  You looked at Tech, dark visor meeting his yellow-orange tinted goggles.  “Kar'taylir darasuum gar.”  Tech knew what it meant.  He didn’t need his fancy language visor to tell him what you said.  You loved him and he loved you.  And that’s all that really mattered.  He smiled at you once more before the door opened, Wrecker immediately shouting in joy that you were safe and sound.  Everything would be alright from here on out, war be damned.

Kiss me! Kiss me!! Kiss me again!!!
Tumblr media
Spencer Reid x Tall Male!Reader
Garcia steps out to go buy food, leaving Reader and a tired, annoyed and definitely not pouty, Spencer alone for a moment. Unfortunately she forgot something causing her to go back and walk in on the two lovers kissing.
Warnings: Kissing. Being caught. Not really proofread. That's all I can think of, lmk if I missed anything. Reader is taller than Spencer. Whiny Spencer. Sorta OOC
Title stolen off of Kiss Me <3 bc i love Vampyx !!
Word count: 1.2k
"Go on Garcia! It's like..." You check the clock quickly, thinking a second trying to remember the time zones before speaking again.
Tumblr media
"...4am in New York!" You finished, wanting Garcia to leave without too much worry.
"3am. It's 3am in New York, the team hasn't called us in a while, and we'll be fine if they do. I'm here! With this genius, we'll be alright for a few hours."
"3am." Spencer mumbled out to correct you.
Garcia looked at you, a smile on her face appreciating your kindness. She stood up, nodding as she finally gave in.
"Okay! You're totally right, lover boy, right right. I can leave for a little, get something to eat quickly." She continued nodding, collecting her things as she talked.
She was hesitant to leave, it was a stressful case, most leads ended up in a dead end. She knew you would be fine if the team needed something, but the stress didn't want to let her go out.
She stopped, wondering if she had everything. "Umm.. yes.. yes?" She listed things off. With a last "yes" she hummed and thanked you again.
"I'll be back soon. I'll bring something for you two, don't worry." She smiled, ruffling your hair.
"Thank you Pen!!" You waved at her, but she was already walking out, her heels clicking with each of her steps. Finally she walks out the door and closes it, leaving you and Spencer alone.
He had injured himself once more, and wasn't allowed on the field for a while so he was left with the tech analysts again. He didn't really mind, spending time with his best friend and boyfriend was not something to be complaining about. He spun a bit in his chair, looking down at the floor, wishing he could go home and sleep. He was tired, uncomfortable and slightly irritated from the case.
You turned to him, watching him move in his chair with a smile on your face finding his movements silly. Even though he was obviously annoyed, he still
"C'mere.." You called to him, rolling your chair closer to him before he even had the chance to move.
You stood up, pulling his arms to make him stand up with you. He looked up, not wanting to stand up but was only met with your pleading eyes.
He sighed and started to stand up slowly, using you as support. You smiled at his compliance, helping him so he doesn't put too much weight on his injury.
You wrapped your arms around his waist, pulling him closer to you. You looked down at him, your faces inches apart, a smile on your face.
"Did you make me stand just to stare at me? Or to remind yourself of the small height difference?" Spencer asked you, unamused with the fact he stood for seemingly no reason.
Honestly you didn't know why exactly you made him stand, his questioning made you chuckle though.
"No, of course not." You shook your head and leaned down in an attempt to kiss him.
He blushed and shook his head trying to pull away, or stop you.
"No! We're at work, in your shared little room. It's unprofessional!" He frowned, desperately wanting to give in and just kiss you, but not wanting to be break the rules at work.
"Nobody is going to walk in! It's like.. past 2am, the teams across the country and Garcia just left to buy food, we'll be fine." You insisted, knowing that you two would be safe to kiss.
"No, what if someone else walks in? What if someone comes looking for one of us! What if-".
You quickly cut him off with a kiss, which immediately shut him up. He was still worried, scared someone would walk in, but he didn't do much to pull away from your kissing. Actually, he melted into it quickly, wrapped his arms around your shoulders, both for comfort and support.
You hummed out feeling his arms wrap around you, happy he gave in. You had only meant for it to be a short kiss, but Spencer had let out a small whimper when you pulled away. Now, how could you even think about making your injured boyfriend sad.
You shook your head, a chuckle escaping at his pouty face.
"Thought you said it was unprofessional?" You raised your eyebrow at him, only to be met with furrowed eyebrows and a bigger pout.
"Y/N!" He whined, sounding like a child about to throw a tantrum. You rolled your eyes, leaning down to meet his lips again, but spoke before actually kissing him.
"Don't start stomping your foot now." You laughed before he crashed his mouth into yours, wanting to shut you up from your stupid comments.
He pulled you closer, trying to deepen the kiss which you quickly allowed, turning the supposedly sweet kiss into a small makeout session.
"Hey boy genius and boy genius lover!" Penelope's voice called out from outside, quickly opening the door before either of you could move.
"I forgot my-" She started, the door swinging open and immediately cut herself off seeing you two leaned against the desk.
Spencer quickly broke away from the kiss, but not daring to face her, his face completely red from embarrassment. You looked over at Penelope, cheeks flushed as you continued to hold Spencer by his waist.
"Oh! Am I interrupting, boy.. time..? Sorry sorry.. let me just quickly grab this and leave." She apologized quickly, shuffling in and leaning around the both of you to grab her forgotten item.
She backed up, patting Spencer on his shoulder before she walked out. "Didn't think you had it in you Spencer, making out at work!?"
"Derek is not going to believe this.." She giggled before closing the door and leaving.
Spencer cringed at her comment, knowing Derek was going to tease him about this nonstop for the next month (if not more).
He turned his head up, glaring at you as he spoke.
"See! I told you we'd get caught!" He huffed, pulling his arms off your shoulders and looked away from you.
"Well it's not like I was the only one participating in the kiss was I? Or the one who whined when I tried to pull away." You responded, not appreciating how your boyfriend tried to put the blame all on you.
He let out another annoyed huff at your comment, knowing you were right, but obviously he wasn't going to take the blame when he could just continue to put it on you.
"You gave in to the second kiss when you could have easily just stopped."
"Yeah and then deal with your whining and pouty ass the rest of the night?"
"I don't whine!"
You stare at him, eyebrow raised wondering if he seriously believed that.
He did.
"What? I don't pout, or whine! I'm a grown man, not a child.." He said after a couple of seconds of being stared at.
"Mhm.." You hummed out, not wanting to continue with this anymore. Spencer, of course, did not pout at your lack of response.
"Whatever you say Spencer." You chuckled, giving him a soft kiss on his forehead.
He let out yet another huff, completely unappreciating your comments about his maturity.
You let go of his waist, allowing him to back away and sit back down, but instead he looked at you as soon as you let go. You looked back down at him, wondering why he wasn't moving back to his chair.
"What?"
He turned around, making sure the door was closed before leaning back and tugging on your shirt to meet your lips once more.

Yakuza Husband ch1
Paring: sukuna x female reader
Contains: blood. flirting, threats, near death experience
Au: sukuna yukuza boss
Summary: After work you walked to you apartment but half way to your home you found a man injured. You decided to bring him home to stitch him up but what you did not realize of who he is.
  It was a long day at work but you enjoyed it. Working at an animal shelter as a vet tech you love seeing the animals. You were happy that some of the animals in your care had gotten adopted today and sent to loving homes. You hoped to see them again old and happy.
 When getting off the train and walking back to your apartment it was a  quiet walk but something in the air felt off. As you neared your home there was a dog that caught your eye standing in the front of an alleyway. 
 "Hey there pup you alright?" You got closer to the dog but it went down the alleyway. A grunt left you but it was your duty to save it and bring it with you to get checked tomorrow when you go in. You followed it seeing it standing sniffing a figure sitting on the ground leaning up against the wall. 
 You froze and your body went stiff just as the dog ran past you back out the alley way. "Hey wait, don't go." You turned to watch the dog leave then hearing a cough coming from the person made you snap your attention back to the figure.
 By the shape and size you could see the person is a male.
 "Are you alright sir?" 
You took out your phone shining the  light on him and gasped seeing the red liquid covering his hand and all over his black shirt that looked wet and stained darker. Seeing the rip across the front of the shirt where it was more blood around the hand covering his stomach.
 You crouched down to his level seeing a broken phone next to him. "I am going to call for help."
��As you opened your phone to call for help his hand wrapped around your wrist stopping you. 
"Don't call. Just. Leave."
 His voice sounds deep and hoarse. "Do you have family or someone I can call?"
 He lifted his face to look at you. As you caught a glimpse of the right side of his face. Burised and eye swollen with a busted lip. You couldn't just leave him here. He watched you open up your backpack pulling out a sweater and placing it over his stomach. 
 "Here keep this against the wound. I am going to bring you to my place. Do you think you can walk?"
 He grunted, saying "just leave me."
You sighed and took his bloody hand not caring if you got blood on yourself. He is in need and wounded just like animals you could not walk away from a person in his condition. 
 You tried to pull him to you to get him up all he did was gave a deep chuckle. It sent chills through you as he tried to step up, almost falling over letting out a groan of pain. He looked like he had enough strength to walk but you still stayed by his side under his heavy arm for support. Even if it did very little and it was all him doing the work.
 It was a long slow walk to your home but when you made it inside he saw that he was safe inside he just wanted to collapse. You felt him growing weak as you panic and quickly brought him to the couch pushing him down onto it. He let out a loud groan of pain.
"Sorry. Stay here. Don't move."
 You ran into the bathroom grabbing all the medical supplies you needed and came back out to the living room placing the supplies on a coffee table. As you displayed the stuff you needed you leaned over him getting a good look at his face. Seeing the black lined tattoos along his jaw leading up to eyes under his real ones giving the same color and the messy dirt stained pastel pink hair.
 His one open dark red eye looking straight through your soul. You gulped and tried to ignore it as you reached shaky hands to unbutton his shirt.
 "I need to take this off." You grabbed the shirt opening it up as he laid his head to the side. "Hey I need you to stay awake."
 "Just hurry up, and do it." He snapped at you.
 You ignored him but when you opened his shirt you saw the colored tattoos covering his entire chest. You noticed black sharp lines across his pecs. Around those lines were blue and purple flames with wine colored demonic looking fingers. Ten of them on each slab of muscle. Your eyes trailed across his chest to his shoulders noticing more ink being hidden under the sleeves of his shirt.
 When your eyes trailed down you saw the open wound across his stomach right above his navel. Your mind went into emergency mode and started to assemble the cotton pad to clean up the area of his skin. 
 After everything was clean the wound seemed like it was not to deep where you needed to take him to the hospital. You ran into the kitchen to wash the blood off your hands and grabbed a ice pack from the freezer to bring it over to him.
 "Here this will help with your face. What is your name?"
 You asked as you carefully placed the ice pack against his face making him rest on it. He kept his eyes closed saying "sukuna."
 His voice sounded worse, more drained and groggy. You had to do this fast so he can rest. You gave a slight smile to his name. It's different and interesting. "My name is y/n."
 You went back to the supplies and started to thread the needle then came back to his wound. "This might hurt." 
"I can, take it."
 When you punctured his skin he grunted and nuzzled his face into the ice pack. It was a quick 15 minute stitch up but it felt longer. You gave one last clean up to his wound, putting antibiotics and a patch to cover it up.
 You smiled saying ,"there it should be good for now. Just not moving for a while you will break it."
 He didn't answer then you looked to see he was already asleep. It was best to let him rest and check on him in the morning. After cleaning up the mess, you went through the hall way storage closet and pulled out a blanket to put over him. 
 You stared at his face a bit longer seeing how strange it was for him to look so peaceful sleeping with blood on his face. And why the color of his hair being pink? 
 After seeing the tattoos across his chest you wanted to see the rest of them. Already having the feeling he is a man who likes to get into trouble. 
 You felt your stomach ache and hearing it rumble it was past your dinner time since you usually eat when you get home but he had to be taken care of first. You made a quick ramen bowl and checked on sukuna every minute just to make sure he is still alive.
 When you went to bed you made sure to lock your door in case something happens since he is still a stranger. You had already informed your boss that you couldn't make it due to a family emergency. So this gives you time to look after sukuna.
Tumblr media
 In the morning you got up getting dressed and quietly opened your door peaking your head out to hear anything. There was no movement so  you stepped out carefully and walked out to the living still seeing him asleep.
 You walked over to his sleeping form then pressed the back of your hand to his forehead checking the temperature. He felt warmer than he did last night.
 Looking at the ice pack that is fully melted you pulled it out from under his head then softly ran your thumb over the bruising on his face. You had also noticed the black piercings on his ears.
 You took a deep breath and caught a smell of the blood that still stained his clothes. He didn't smell the best right now. You wanted to almost take off the shirt but it was going to be difficult, it would be best to start by replacing the bandage again since either absorbed most of the blood.
 As you pulled off the blanket and started with the bandage from his stomach he jolted awake and grabbed your wrist with a harsh squeeze. You yelp from being startled but then he let you go placing his hand over his stomach with a growl and a grunt from pain. 
 "Damn it sukuna it's just me. Don't break your stitching."
 You put a hand down on his chest and pushed him back down. He looked at you with still tired drained eyes, it looked like he wanted to talk back but he was still not fully recovered. 
Sukuna kept his eyes on you changing the bandage then saw you grabbing at his shirt. 
"I want to take your shirt off, it's full of your blood and dirt. It's starting to stink."
 He groaned and let you take it off him with the help of him moving his body to make it easier for you to take it off. As you peeled off his shirt you could see more tattoos covering his arms. You couldn't help but to look at the artwork of beautiful colors and line work. Whoever did his tattoos did an amazing job.
 His left arm was full of plant life. Cherry blossom trees that crept up his bicep around his forearm were red spider lilies and under them was a lotus. The other arm had an eastern dragon around the bicep and a tiger on the forearm. On both wrists he had black bands and black circles on the edge of his shoulders. 
Your eyes gazed away and looked at his pants then back at him. "I uhh need to take off your pants too."
 He gave you a weak smile and said "if you wanted my cock you could have just ask. It might help with my pain."
 A blush filled your cheeks and you began to stutter. "No, that is not what I wanted. I need your pants off. They are dirty." He chuckle slightly and laid his head back as you went to unbuckle the front. Your hands were shaking after he made you all flustered and embarrassed but he lifted his hips to help you slide off his pants easier. 
 Sukuna quickly went back to sleep to get more rest. He was still feeling groggy. You put the blanket over him then went to get some cereal and hid in your room to give him some peace. When you came back out hours later you walked over to see sukuna with his eyes open. You gave him a smile and said "hey you awake now. How are you feeling?"
 He said "I am feeling hungry and drained." You nodded asking "how hungry?" 
"Hungry enough to eat you." He chuckled then started coughing. 
You blushed and started to find words to respond to but then you stepped back hitting the table with the back of your knee. You stumbled a little and sukuna was quick to sit up and grab your wrist holding you from falling. 
You made eye contact with him then pulled your wrist away saying "thank you I will go find you food."
 Sukuna looked over at you watching you walk around the kitchen making what seemed to be a sandwich. He wondered if you knew who he really was. What were your plans with him?
 When he saw you turn around with a plate he looked away. You made your way over to him and set a plate with the sandwich on it and handed it to him. "Here let me know if you need anything else and also brought you some tea that might help with the aches." He looked at the food and drink then back to you.
 "Eat some of it. And take a drink."
You raised an eyebrow then looked at him confused saying "what?"
 "You heard me sweetheart eat, drink."
You picked up the sandwich taking a bite looking at him still confused, after swallowing the bite you took a drink of the tea then looked at him. He sat up more and took the food and started to eat it. You just gave him another weird look and left him to eat alone. So many questions ran through your head.
 Hearing your phone notification go off you looked at it to see your friend wondering if you are alright. You texted her 'yes I am fine just something happened and now I have to figure out what to do with him.' You messed up by saying the word to him and she quickly texted back. 'Oh you are seeing a guy. Who is he? What does he look like?'
 'Pretty handsome. Pink hair. Tattoos covering his arms chest and possibly the back. I found him in a alleyway with a stab wound. I had to fix him up but he said to not call anyone.'
 She answered back right away. 'What do you mean?! You found him and just brought him home with a stab wound. Red flag girl! And he has tattoos telling you not to call anyone. You know what they say about Japanese men with tattoos right. Yukuza!'
 You scoffed at the idea and told her you were going to check backup on him and you will talk to her later. When you went back out to the living room you saw him sitting up fully on the couch with the empty plate and glass. "Do you want more?"
 "No this should be good for now but I feel my energy back again for the most part."
Hearing his deep voice your eyes roamed over his body again then quickly looked away when you saw his eyes staring at you. You walked over taking the dishes from him then walked towards the kitchen but stopped curious to say something to him.
 "Hey sukuna are you in the yukuza? My friend just stated it because I mentioned your tattoos and how I found you. I think it's crazy though. I don't think I would ever come across one. Your tattoos are lovely though." You let out a little giggle.
 But then you felt the air in the room stir into something dangerous then you heard him darkly chuckle and a click sound coming from behind you. When you turned to look at him you dropped the dishes hearing them break and shatter across the floor.
 Sukuna was standing up and had his back to you while looking at a black gun in his hand with a golden design through the side of it but you couldn't make out what it was. Your whole world froze and your heart stopped. His back was cover in a full art piece. A four arms demon with four eyes and pink hair. It was supposed to be resentation of himself crawling out of a mouth to a shrine with ox skulls on his lower back.
 He turned around walking to you, opening up his gun looking at the bullets and slipped the clip back into it. 
"You know one thing I hate about the people around me, little woman. Is that you can never let your guard down because you can not trust anyone. It's a shame that even the sweetest of things need to die."
 You gulped freezing in place and began to tear up as he walked up straight to you. So much fear in your body makes you stay still only because you feel if you run he might shoot. He pressed the tip of the gun to your neck. Your eyes closed, a tear ran down your cheek waiting for him to take your life. Is this what you get from the world for helping someone? 
A whimper escaped you as he chuckled and leaned in closer, pressing his lips to your ear. "No words for me, kitten."
 "Your stitches are bleeding."
 He raised an eyebrow and took a look down to his stomach. You took a look at him and made your chance to run but he was too fast and smart as he grabbed your arm pulling you. In the process you stepped on the shards of glass letting out a cry of pain. 
 "Where you think you are going little things."
 He pulled you with him and pushed you onto the couch holding the gun up to you. You looked into his eyes as tears filled you, making your vision blurry and whimpers escaping you. "Will it hurt?"
 Sukuna tiltled his head saying "the bullet? Only of I shoot in a spot that does not kill you fast."
 You started to breathe hard with tears rolling down your cheeks. Staring into his eyes waiting for it to happen when he would be the last thing you see. His hand gripped onto your shoulder holding you down with the gun pressing under your jaw. You couldn't hold back any more and started to sob and cry louder. "S sukuna...." Feeling the cold metal tip of the gun against your skin you tried to plead with him.
 He stared at you but his heart started to feel heavy, memories flashed before him. A woman on her knees before him with his hand around her throat and gun to her head. She pleaded to him crying and sobbing but he just pulled the trigger doing what he was told. Then hearing a baby cry. Remembering the little baby boy she had, he was left motherless. 
 Sukuna let go of your shoulder asking "do you have a child or pregnant?" 
You shook your head still crying.
"Do you have a family?"
You shook your head. Still stuttering as you talked.
"I have… no one. I am alone… my parents both died. No lover.."
 He pulled the gun away from your face and moved away. As soon as you felt him release you took that chance to crawl away from him seeing the blood from your foot staining the couch. But he still hovered around you then brought the gun up again to you saying "where is your phone? Bring it to me."
 You did what you were told but you limped off the couch and walked slowly in pain to your room with him following you. He saw the phone on your bed and quickly took it holding it in his free hand. 
 You couldn't take it any more as you just got down on the floor and crawled back against the wall of your room. He watched as you cradled your legs turning yourself into a ball crying from fear trying to hide from him. 
 Sukuna let out a sigh. "Where the hell is your first aid kit?" 
You didn't answer as you started to shake. So he asked again more stern tone to his voice.
"Where the fuck is your first aid kit? I am not asking again."
 "In the bathroom."
You mumbled and heard him leave the room for a moment but you didn't bother moving from your position not wanting to get shot.
 He walked into the bathroom and the first this he saw was his clothes. With a brush and hydrogen peroxide to remove the blood stains. You really went through all this trouble to bring him here into your home. A complete stranger and fixed him up. Made sure he was well, fed him and washed his pants. 
 He took the pants and put them on and slipped his gun in the back of them along with your phone into the pocket then found the kit. Sukuna came back to see you still in the same spot shaking but stopped crying for now.
When he crouched down in front of you and went to brush his fingers across your ankle you froze up and started to cry again. You looked at his lip quivering and tried to move away from him. 
 "Please don't hurt me. I won't tell anyone. Please just leave."
 He gripped your leg and ran his hand up your calf and pulled your leg to him with your wounded foot. You whimpered in fear and tried to pull away. Thinking the worst.
 "Dont please! I rather be dead."
 He stopped and looked at you realizing why you were freaking out. 
 "Would you stop your fucking crying. I am not going to assault you if that is what you are implying. Let me look at your foot."
 You covered your face trying to calm yourself as you let him take your leg extending it out. You hear the shuffling of the kit and feeling him move with your foot on his lap. But you didn't dare to move a muscle until he went to pull a piece of glass out. You let out a yelp and placed your hands flat on the floor.
 "Quit being a child."
 He continued to pull out the glass he could see then he poured on the rubbing alcohol across the wounds. You whimpered and tried to pull your foot away but he grabbed it, yanking it back. "Damn it, stop squirming!"
 "It hurts and you are doing it wrong! Why are they even bothering with me?! Just leave me alone!"
 Sukuna laid him head back and growled then looked back at you.
 "A favor for a favor. You helped me so I am helping you. Besides, by my code you did save my life. So I am in your debt."
 He rubbed the back of his neck with his free hand and closed his eyes.
"I am sorry. For threatening you. And scaring you. It's just hard for me to trust anyone. You probably know who I am now."
 You just chewed on your inner cheek not wanting to talk as you suck in a breath trying to calm yourself but knowing he has a loaded weapon made you all the nervous to even say a word to him.
 The both of you heard your phone chime. Sukuna reached behind him and pulled out your phone seeing the text in the lock screen 'is he hot?'
" Who is this little kitten?"
 "My friend from work." He handed you over the phone saying "unlock it."
 You then gave your phone back and he texted your friend back 'yes he is really hot don't worry he is taking care of me.' He texted her making it sound like it was you.
 He closed it then stuck it back into his pocket hearing more notifications go off as you questioned what he did. But he ignored you and went back to tormenting your foot. After he cleaned the wound he wrapped a bandage around your foot and dropped your leg onto the floor. 
 "There its done."
You looked at the wrapping and said "thank you. So you are in the yukuza."
 You rubbed your hand over your cheeks wiping what dry tears that remained as he hummed.
 "Yes I am. I promise to not make any threats to you again. Like I said I am in your debt. Until my part is filled you will no longer see me again. But for now I need to stay here for a few days until I am fully healed and the ones who did this,stop looking for me."
 "You want me to keep you here after you just did all that! No. I am sorry but no you need to leave."
Sukuna groaned and bowed his head as a sign of thanks to you saying "I am sorry,  truly. I need to stay here. Just so you know I never say sorry to anyone."
You made eye contact with him debating if you should let him stay and if you were even safe.
"I can tell you are debating. You have my word. I won't hurt you." 
You closed your eyes and let out a heavy sigh saying "fine I will let you stay. But its my home so my rules." He confirmed with a nod of his head and got up holding out his hand to you as you took it and got up onto your feet with us help.
You thanked him for finding your strength again but you still worried what he can do to you when the guard is down. Without another word you walked away from him with a limp as he followed behind you and watched you head to a hall closet pulling out another blanket.
"Here so you can be more comfortable. And I will figure out what to do with clothes for you later. I am going to bed."
He watched you walk away back into your room, slamming the door closed as he stood there holding the blanket. He never let anyone walk away from him like that, not without him having the last word in. But he will let you relax for the night. He needs his rest too.

request by: anonymous.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
“guess you aren’t exactly super, after all…”  a small joke weathered on your tongue. usually, it tasted sweet. like a watermelon-flavored gummy, you’d reckon. but as you catalogued clark, stone-faced because you never liked to worry him, it came out bitter as if you chewed on tea leaves.
“(m/n), please…” clark always laughed at every one of your jokes. artificially at some, but nonetheless genuine because he liked seeing you satisfied with yourself.
today would be an exception. 
“sorry,” you watched him writhe in pain, sweat collecting near your forehead because you were scared. it was stomach-churning to watch the way clark held onto nothing but himself, enduring whatever had weakened him so bad during the fight that had torn the city apart. enduring pain he had never felt before because somehow, his invisible shield had shattered. a million of broken pieces scattered in the city and clark has never felt so… defeated. “i’ll- fuck, here.”
any attempts of quelling the unknown pain in his body have gone futile because clark wasn’t a human. or was he? honestly, you were still confused about his origins. rightfully so, because he completely dropped a bomb of information only a few weeks ago. you were still registering that clark kent was… superman. the man of steel, they’d occasionally call him. 
but as you pressed cotton pads to clark’s raw wound, he was neither of those names—simply clark.
“i thought you said you don’t bleed?” you kneeled beside him as clark sat against the wall, chest rising as he drew in every breath—every tremor. 
“i... don’t. at least, i thought i didn’t.” he calmed under your touch, seemingly allowing his muscles to soften with every tender stroke of your fingers. he watched you, hissing when the alcohol hit his wound—multiple wounds. “usually, i would be healed by now. if i bled, i wouldn’t have noticed, so this is all… new to me.”
“hm…” you were bewildered just as he was. his suit was torn at the chest, skin scuffed and wounded just like the other injuries, but nothing was out of the ordinary. your eyes examined every corner, every bruise, every cut, for god knows what. a venomous bite drawn by a vampire? a beheaded tech-zombie from outer space? 
nothing of that sort. 
it was only clark.
“how close was that thing to you?” you never witnessed it. clark hid you to safety, flew you somewhere far despite your protest. you could help, determined to help. you weren’t exactly sure how, but all you knew that it was unfair that you inhabited this space when it should’ve been a dedicated spot for civilians, for refugees.
“I… it was all a blur. i remember flying towards him—it. it charged right at me and next thing i know- ow-“ clark twitched and you kissed a sorry to his lips, rubbing his chest to alleviate the pattern of tremors that sent him into guttural groans. “i-i was on the ground, pummeled. couldn’t breathe because its fist… claws kept digging into me—at me—deeper, and harder, and…”
clark was new to this, all of this. saving people was part of his daily routine, but he never expected it to be like this. to have his city completely demolished. to have the beauty of civilian life destroyed, all within a few hours. the pain in him throbbed, his head stung, but determination powered him through. “i have to get back and-“
“hey, hey,” you were never stronger than him, would never be stronger, but somehow you managed to keep him down, pushing him back as you pressed kisses and more kisses to his lips, then cheek. “you do. you have to get back out there. but not like this. rest for a bit, think about what we can do to… heal you back up—i’ll do the same—and we can go-“
“no, you’re staying here.” his hold on your wrist tightened as if you were about to leave in this very moment. he was still strong, you can feel it.
“clark.” your voice was stern, an unusual counter that surprised clark, and his grip loosened. “i have to do something. people are dying, and i just can’t sit here. plus, it’s fucking cold here.”
“you’re too vulnerable. you can’t—it’s too dangerous for you. what happens if that thing finds you? then what?”
“then my three years of taekwondo will finally pay off because i’m going to kick some ass and—“
“(m/n).” it was like deja-vu, and you smiled, kissing him again. he returned it softly, sighing. “you can’t.”
“i have to. what would you have done if you didn’t have superpowers and this was all happening?”
“i—“ clark stammered.
“all those people running to safety, hope that they’re running to it. there would be kids, mothers, fathers, toddle—“ you explained, and clark looked down solemnly. 
“i would’ve… done my best to help them….” the symbol on his suit was shredded to pieces, baring his chest to the bite of cold.
“and why would you? even if you were defenseless as i am right now?”
“because i want to.” clark said quietly, then louder, “because i can.”
“humans—good humans at least—do the right thing.” your voice has gone soft now, almost a whisper as you looked out to the field of night sky. you weren’t sure if you were imagining it, but you can see smoke billowing from afar. “even if we make mistakes during the process. or if we happened to sacrifice our life to spare death for a few others…”
“we do it because we can,” clark’s hand squeezed into yours, watching you in awe because your features shined even more in the moonlight. “that’s our superpower, i guess. our only one, and it’s worrying that not many people seem to recognize it—utilize it.”
you turned to face him again, and even though it hurt clark to sit up and lean closer, you’ve become the source of his power. a strong will to motivate him to do better. 
to be better—he finalized when he kissed you, sweet and gentle. he could feel warmth be brought back to his lifeblood when the light illuminated your silhouettes, sparkling. tremors became gentle waves, then static noise, and he hummed contently before pulling away.
“no taekwondo.” he cupped your cheeks as if that would make your hearing clearer.
“but-“ your lips pursed out from the applied pressure, like a goldfish.
“and all you’re going to do is lead people. i’ll find something—somewhere—we can harbor them to.”
“i—okay, fair.”
“and you’re going to wear a suit. i have some old tights-“
“gross-“
“and,”
“jesus, clark—“
“i love you.” clark caressed your skin, honey practically seeping from his eyes as he gazed into you.
you leaned into the warmth of his palm, one side to the next, and sighed to the beat of his heart drumming with yours, a symphony. “i love you.”

Some fluff/comfort with Crosshair? Where m!reader had a tough mission and was having an overall bad day? Also congrats on 4000!! :D
Certainty
M!Reader X Crosshair
word count: 1k
Tumblr media
After a mission went sour, you’re left feeling deflated. So when Crosshair finds you training by yourself, he’s there to offer you a piece of advice.
warnings: fluff/comfort fic, can be read as romantic or platonic, reader has bad day, hugs, target practice, male reader.
authors note: sorry for the wait and thank you for the request! Enjoy 🩵
Tumblr media
You gazed out into the endless expanse of hyperspace from the confines of the Marauder, the events of the mission replaying incessantly in your mind, particularly your own costly mistake. What should have been a routine shot spiraled into a domino of problems, turning what was supposed to be a simple mission into a desperate struggle. The weight of responsibility weighed heavily on you, and you couldn't shake the feeling of self-blame.
Already in a foul mood, the day had started with a spill of caf on your equipment, followed by Hunter's impatient reminders to hurry up cleaning your things as the rendezvous loomed closer.
“How long until we touch down?” you inquired, turning to Tech who manned the ship.
“I would estimate around 1 hour and 27 minutes. Why do you ask?” he replied, seemingly oblivious to your tense demeanor.
“Could you wake me when we're about to land? I need to focus on some training,” you requested, receiving a simple nod in response. With that, you made your way to your bunk, passing by Crosshair who stood against the ship's wall. Though he glanced up as you approached, you chose to bypass him without a word.
His frown followed you as you exited, prompting him to eventually make his way to Tech in the cockpit. “What's his issue?”
Tech turned to face his brother, a knowing expression etched on his features. “It seems he's frustrated with how today's mission unfolded. Your decision to let him take the shot likely added to his distress.”
Crosshair shrugged nonchalantly. “He wanted to. I trust his abilities. Besides, we've faced tougher challenges before.”
“True,” Tech agreed, recalling a particularly harrowing mission on Kashyyyk that ended in disaster before refocusing on the current issue. “But he has not been with us long enough to experience setbacks like this one.”
Crosshair sighed, crossing his arms. “I'll talk to him once we land.”
“That's a good plan, especially since he's planning on training,” Tech suggested, returning his attention to the ship's controls. With a deft press of a button, he guided the Marauder out of hyperspace. “Perhaps you should help him.”
Tumblr media
As instructed, Tech had roused you from your brief nap, prompting you to gather your rifle, gear, and a few props before venturing out of the ship and into a remote area. Unbeknownst to you, someone trailed closely behind.
Upon reaching a clearing devoid of civilisation, you arranged some old canteens on a fallen log for target practice. After positioning yourself at what you deemed an optimal distance and crouching behind a sizable boulder for cover, you took aim and fired, only to miss. Frowning at the initial failure, you attempted another shot, only to repeat the same outcome. Your frustration mounted with each subsequent miss, leading to a barrage of shots that seemed to hit everything except the intended targets.
Cursing aloud, you impulsively kicked the boulder, immediately regretting the action as pain shot through your toes. "What did that boulder ever do to you?" remarked Crosshair, his familiar voice breaking the tense silence as he entered the clearing, observing your outburst and string of missed shots.
"Hi Crosshair," you grumbled, earning a low chuckle from him as you settled atop the boulder, nursing your injured toes.
Crosshair stood before you, tilting his head curiously as he watched your frustration. "How are your toes?" he inquired.
"Sore," you replied, wincing at the discomfort before meeting his gaze. "And my aim? Terrible. I don't understand. I'm usually a good shot. You've seen me shoot, but I've never missed this much before."
Crosshair remained silent for a moment before retrieving a toothpick from a pouch and casually placing it in his mouth. "Are you stressed?" he asked simply.
You pondered his question briefly before shaking your head. While it had been a rough day, you couldn't fathom how it would affect your performance to this extent. "Not that I'm aware of," you admitted, absently brushing dust off your knee. "Though today's mission was a disaster."
Crosshair shrugged nonchalantly. "It's not uncommon for missions to go awry. Your body can move and your brain is working so I’d consider that a win."
You chuckled softly, feeling a fondness for Crosshair as his presence always seemed to complement yours perfectly. "I guess. I just can't shake the feeling that I could've accidentally hurt someone."
"But you didn't," he countered, seizing your rifle. "So try again."
You blinked at the command in his gaze before reluctantly rising to your feet, bracing yourself for another potential failure.
As you lined up your shot, Crosshair subtly adjusted your position, his touch both unfamiliar and strangely comforting. "Relax. Only shoot when you're certain. Don't hesitate," he advised, his words echoing in your mind as you prepared to take aim once more.
Despite feeling the weight of his expertise bearing down on you, you focused on his guidance. But just as you were about to pull the trigger, Crosshair whispered in your ear, "Breathe," before stepping back and watching.
You blocked out the distractions, following his advice. Breathe. Relax. Wait for certainty. And when you finally took the shot, the satisfying clang of a canteen being hit filled the clearing.
"I did it!" you exclaimed triumphantly.
Crosshair smirked, twirling his toothpick between his fingers. "Told you so. You just need to shoot when you know it's right. Don't freeze up. Wait until you're certain."
His lesson resonated with you, and with newfound confidence, you lined up your shots again, hitting each target with precision.
Grinning, you leaned your rifle against the boulder and approached Crosshair. "Thank you, Crosshair."
"No need," he replied dismissively, but you couldn't resist wrapping your arms around his slender frame, surprising him momentarily before he reciprocated with a gentle hand on your back, offering a small smile. "If you ever need more practice, you know where to find me."

Hey Skelly
You're taking requests? Oh I'd love to ask for one.
Could you please do a one-shot involving a reader and Hunter after Omega gets seriously injured on a mission (Bad enough to wind up in a Bacta Pod) and the reader has to comfort and reassure Hunter that Omega will be OK?
tysm, GenericFicer Hugs
@genericficerblog NICE! Another ASK!!! Thank you!
Tumblr media
"THE INCIDENT"
The Bad Batch Hunter x Reader One Shot
Per more information (not included on this particular message):
So the reader is a male battle medic. It's all platonic The reader was a medic on Kamino. He had taken care of Omega after particularly bad tests (She has the scars to prove it) and he's protective of Omega because of her past with the Kaminoans
Word Count: 2.1K
Warning: Star Wars canon violence, angst, swearing, explosion, physical injuries, coma, mention of human experimentation by the Kaminoans.
I was tasked to hang back with Omega and Tech on board the Marauder. Hunter EXPRESSLY ordered us to stay put. His thinking was to only bring the members necessary for the job: Hunter at the head of the group, Echo next to him and to share logistics on comm with Tech, Wrecker as the “heavy”, and Crosshair as lookout/cover fire. 
The job was technically low risk...but Hunter started having those “feelings” of his just before landing at our target.  
Omega protested when he told her to stay on the ship. She had been looking forward to going on a mission for awhile. Many a time she stayed behind on Pabu with Shep and Lyana. Since her rescue from Tantiss, Hunter was dead set against her going on any dangerous missions. 
Hunter’s words were “You’ll have plenty of time to fight with the Rebellion in the future. Won’t stay young forever.” 
She bristled at those words. Then forgave him immediately after. 
They LOVE each other so much! 
But ever the doting dad, Hunter relented this time. She had eventually wore him down. 
Tumblr media
Oh...getting ahead of myself...who am I? 
Hello. I’m Y/N. The Squad Formerly Known as Clone Force 99’s Medic/Backup Heavy/Or Whatever They Need Me For. I can patch up just about ANYTHING with the bare minimum of supplies. Sometimes my methods are unorthodox, per Tech’s opinion, but effective.  It’s saved our butts a few times. So, they let me come along on every mission. 
Plus, having known and taken care of Omega while on Kamino helped. 
And the fact that Crosshair took a liking to me immediately sealed the deal. We both speak fluent sarcasm. 
But...back to the mission... 
Tumblr media
“What’s taking SO LONG?” Omega fidgeted in her seat. 
“My guess it is due to Hunter detecting an anomaly, they are taking their time.”  
Tech and I were attempting to play a few rounds of Sebacc. I’m HORRIBLE at it. He thinks he can help me improve my game. I’m struggling currently. 
“Safety first. No need to rush into trouble...especially since we seem to find it easily enough.” I threw down my cards. 
Tech glanced at them and frowned.  
“I totally messed up that hand too, huh?” 
“Well, it’s not a strategy I would have used...” Tech trailed off. 
“You’re being too nice.” 
“Shall I explain in detail the best plan of action for this hand?” 
“Can’t stop you. Just infodump me anyways. Maybe I’ll retain SOMETHING this time.” I LOVE to tease Tech. It was difficult in the beginning. Most of it just went over his head. 
This time, he just grinned at my cheekiness and launched into it. 
Omega continued to fidget in her seat behind us. 
Tumblr media
“...and THAT is why you should have held onto those cards until the end.” Tech finally finished his tutorial. 
“I... THINK I got all that? My brain hurts now. How ‘bout I switch with Omega.” 
“That will be sufficient.” Tech looks up and glances behind me. 
Then his face froze. 
I quickly swung around to see Omega missing from her seat. 
“OMEGA???” I called through the ship.  
Nothing. 
“Oh SHIT!” 
“INDEED!” Tech immediately radioed Hunter that Omega slipped out of the Marauder and is probably enroute to them. 
I grabbed my med pack and ran out of the Marauder before he could stop me. 
Tumblr media
Omega used to sneak away A LOT on our previous missions. Probably one of many reasons why he wanted to keep her back on Pabu until she matured a bit more. Of course, he feels guilty...the Kaminoan’s keeping her locked up in their home world. He didn’t want to clip her wings.  
“TOLD YOU to stay on the ship!” Hunter’s voice fills my ear comm. 
“I can’t just assume that Omega finds you somehow and is safe.” 
“Don’t need ANOTHER person in danger. Go back to the ship.” 
“Well...is Omega with you?” 
“...no.” 
“She SHOULD have been by now...AND I’m NOT going back.” 
Hunter’s tired sigh. “Well, then... 
He never finished his sentence. 
A flash of intense light... 
Tumblr media
I awoke thirty feet away from where I was standing. On my back. 
My head hurts...all I can hear is high pitched whine in both ears. 
Sit up dazed and look around at EVERYTHING obliterated and on fire. 
Torn remains of whatever was left of the trees and outbuilding I was near... 
...two small legs sticking out from under smoldering wreckage. 
I lurch up to my feet and limp over. Grab the unidentifiable thing crushing Omega and try to pull it off her. 
It’s not budging. I frantically keep trying. There's NOTHING else in this world except me and this huge THING on top of her that I cannot seem to move. 
Sweating, my hands are raw, my eyes are wet, there is blood dripping down my face... 
Is it lacerated? Could it be my eardrums are ruptured? I don’t know.  
I just know I HAVE TO GET THIS THING OFF OF HER! 
Push, pull, kick... 
Then the wreckage flew off her like it weighed nothing at all. 
Wrecker is next to me. He freed Omega and put a hand on my shoulder. Hunter grabs her up. Echo is trying to speak to me. 
But I can’t hear anything at all. Just that damned whining in my ears.  
I can lip read though... 
He’s telling me to get back to the ship. 
Echo runs ahead with Hunter.  
Crosshair grabs my arm, dragging me along. He looks extremely worried. 
Tumblr media
Whatever happened or if we even achieved our objective, I don’t know. 
Hunter sets Omega down on a bunk. He’s beside himself emotionally.  
I can feel the Marauder take off world.  
My hearing is still impaired, but the whining is less pronounced. 
I gently nudge Hunter aside and open my med kit. Pull out the bacta...but it won’t be enough... 
...she needs a tank. Her burns and lacerations are too numerous and severe. Still breathing and regular heartbeat, but unconscious.  
I am doing the best I can with what supplies are on hand. Putting her prognosis out of my head for the time being. 
Tumblr media
We make a pit stop at a Rebel Base on a hidden moon. One with an extensive medical facility.  
Echo radioed ahead. As soon as Tech lands, the staff enters the ship and whisks Omega away. Hunter and Wrecker run after them. Echo runs in another direction...I’m assuming to report his intel to the Rebels. 
I stand at the bottom of the gangplank and watch them leave.  
Tech stares at me strangely.  
I shrug...and a horrible twinge of pain erupts from my upper back. My face feels sore too. 
Crosshair mumbles something. 
“WHAT???” I must be screaming but can’t hear anything. 
He mouths “your back” and points.  
I try to reach behind me to feel it.  
Tech grabs my hand and nods “no”. 
They both immediately took me to medbay. 
Tumblr media
I’m treated for multiple facial lacerations, on top of first-degree burns. Missing some of my eyebrows. And, like I guessed bilaterial ruptured eardrums. 
Oh...and the kicker: A 12-inch piece of metal sticking out of my back. Had NO idea it was there.  
Adrenaline is a HELL of a hormone. 
Tech left to confer with Echo over intel and our next move. 
Crosshair stayed with me during the surgical removal of the metal. I demanded to be awake and requested a mirror to watch the whole procedure. 
The doctors were horrified but complied with my request. 
Crosshair held the mirror. He also asked to keep the metal once removed...to frame and hang up back on Pabu. 
“You're NOT like the other kids.” I quip. 
“Neither are you.” he winks. 
Tumblr media
They won’t let me walk out of medbay. It’s the sedatives and painkillers, of course. I wouldn’t let me walk, either.  
Crosshair pushes me in a hover chair. We head over to the bacta tanks to check on Omega. 
She’s stripped down to a medical binder and med panties. Tubes to feed, breath, and eliminate. Floating in the tank, the extent of her injuries is very apparent: Second degree burns, multiple lacerations, a broken arm, a few broken ribs, and a head injury. Her hair had been clippered off entirely for cleanliness and most of it was charred.  
Omega was also put in a medically induced coma to aide her recovery. 
Hunter, sitting in a chair, has his arms around the bacta tank. He’s basically hugging it with his forehead resting snugly against the glass. 
“I shouldn’t have let her go. Blame myself.” He mumbles. 
Wrecker puts a hand on his back for comfort. “She’ll be ok Hunter. They said we got her here in time.”   
Then he looks shocked when he sees my face. 
“OH MY MAKER! Where are your EYEBROWS?” 
Still can’t hear very well, but I can DEFINITELY lip-read Wrecker. 
“Look what medical pulled out of him!” Crosshair proudly dangles a clear plastic bag containing the metal shard. 
Wrecker is transfixed. 
Hunter is devastated. “I MISSED that??? Didn’t even register you were injured...looked right at you...” 
Like a man lost and questioning EVERYTHING. His focus had been solely on Omega. 
“Aw...they couldn’t kill me. Don’t think I’ll be attracting any ladies with my perpetually surprised look though.” Trying to lighten the mood. 
“You can’t hear ANYTHING, can you?” Crosshair looks me in the eye. 
“Barely...why?” 
“You’re so LOUD.”  
“You should talk, Wrecker.” Crosshair sneered. 
“That’s how I know!” Wrecker rolled his eyes at his brother. 
Hunter looked even more guilty, hanging his head. 
“Hey guys...” 
Wrecker and Crosshair stopped whinging at each other. 
“Can I have some time alone with Hunter?” 
They both nodded and wandered off to find Echo and Tech. 
Tumblr media
I nudge the chair over closer to Hunter and look at Omega through the glass. 
She’s so tiny in that big tank. So beat up and bruised. The lighting in the tank leaves NOTHING hidden. Even the old scars from her time on Kamino. The “experiments” according to the Kaminoans. Things they did to her before her brothers took her away.  
Things she never really spoke about with even Hunter. 
Things I only know about since working so closely at the facility on Kamino. A little girl who needed someone to comfort her. This was before her brothers were ever aware of her presence. 
“Her prognosis is very good, yes?” I broke the ice. 
“The docs say she’ll have to spend close to the next month in this tank.” Hunter’s voice cracked. 
“It wasn’t your fault.” 
“I knew better! Why is it SO HARD for me to say no to her???” 
“Because you love her. You know she’s strong. You also know she’s still a child. If it makes you feel better, she snuck out ALL the time on Kamino. The Kaminoan’s would ask me to go look for her constantly.” 
“More of an argument to have left her on Pabu.” 
“You REALLY want to be at fault, huh?” 
“I’m responsible for...” 
I cut him off. 
“YOU CAN’T CONTROL EVERYTHING, HUNTER!” I winced. Moving too much with my exasperation. The sutures on my back were straining...and wet. 
Hunter stood up, glancing at my back. He could smell it. 
“Strike through?” I asked. 
“Yeah...just a little blood. You need to lie down and rest.” 
“That’s gonna be hard. Not supposed to lay on my back...and my face isn’t going to feel great against the pillow. How about I just stay sitting in this chair with you?” 
“You sure?” 
“Yeah. I know you don’t want to leave her alone while she’s in this tube.” 
"Thank you. Honestly...I should say that more often. Y/N...you've really saved our butts a lot of times...I'm grateful to have you in our squad...family." Hunter cracked a small smile.
"Of course! Man...you are MY PEOPLE!" I beamed back. They really are. I'd go to the ends of the universe for every one of them!!!
Hunter's smile was so warm and genuine. But it lasted very briefly. His face became pensive again.
He was silent for a while...thinking. 
“Technically she’s asleep? Is that what a coma is like?” Hunter asked. 
“Kind of. The doctors are monitoring ALL her vitals constantly. And if anything is off, they can immediately see to her needs. Besides, the coma is just for the next 24-48 hours due to her head injury.”  
“I see.” 
“She’ll come through this. You clones were made to withstand a LOT of physical trauma. Stuff that would kill a regular human.” I added. 
“It’s not necessarily the physical stuff I’m worried about.” Hunter motions to the faint old scars on Omega’s body. “When she does wake up...she told me she has fears about being in a tube like an experiment.” 
“Tell her she has nothing to fear.” 
Hunter looks at me strangely. 
“People in a coma can still hear. Talk to her, Hunter.” 
He nods. Then directs his voice to the speaker on the bacta tube. 
I sit back and relax in the chair, watching this man...a brother, a parental figure speak to his child. 
He’s doing the best he can with what he has. 
We are all doing the best we can... 
...hanging on with HOPE. 
It’s the only thing holding the galaxy together right now...

Left Behind (2)
Pair: Bay!Leonardo x Fem!Reader
Summary: You went to Japan to become a ninja like the boys only to stumble upon another school called Jujutsu Tech.
Part 1
Tumblr media
2 years have gone by quickly.
The scenery of Tokyo never gets old, the beautiful streets, the food and the people were amazing. The crowded streets of Tokyo never ceased to amaze-
CRASH!
BOOM!
The side of the building implode, glass shattering towards the streets as a figure flew out. Your hair flew against the wind, wincing at the cuts and bruises that was on your body. The dark purple curse launch of the build after you, its mouth open ready to digest you, you placed your right palm out blasting fire towards the curse. It cries out in pain as you landed on building, you felt your shoulder crack as you yelp in pain.
Your eyes close as you hiss in pain, you hear footsteps coming up to you. Peaking your eyes open, you see two tall men stood side by side next to you.
"Shut. Up" you said, lazily pointing your finger at the white haired male.
"You got your ass kicked. By a grade 2 curse?" Satoru Gojo smirked mockingly.
"I was shopping and was cut off guard" you complained.
"We got this, right Satoru?" Suguaru Geto says crossing his arms.
"Of course... we are the strongest"
‧͙⁺˚*・༓☾
You slid the door open stretching out your injured shoulder, with the help of Shoko you were able to heal properly. You paused as you were about to take a seat when you see a familiar small man talking with Yaga, they both turned to you with a grim look on their faces. You sat roughly on the seat next to Gojo who groaned in pain as you slapped his injured arm.
"Ancient One" you say.
"(Y/N)" he says back, "It's been too long"
"Two peaceful years" you grinned, "But that's not the reason why your here isn't it?"
"I'm afraid not"
"Do I have to go back?" you grimly asked.
"The three of you have accomplished so many missions together, especially you (Y/N)-san. Within the two years I've known you, you've quickly became a special grade sorcerer" Yaga spoke.
"The Hamato Clan needs you now, the Shredder has returned and it is not good news" the Ancient One spoke.
You sighed, "It can't be helped. I'll pack and return tonight"
‧͙⁺˚*・༓☾
The 16 hour or more plane ride to New York wasn't that bad, you were asleep half of the flight, played games and watched movies. But when the plane landed was when you felt your life falling apart again. You knew you had to return, but not this soon, its only been 3 years after all.
Your now new apartment was bigger than the old one, you placed down your bags as you walked around the new surroundings of your home. The bed was luckily big, as in king size big, and you sighed. You quickly ate a snack, showered before dressing up to head for patrol.
You wore your regular uniform from Jujutsu Tech, a navy blue blazer left open showing your black sports bra and abs along with its matching skirt. You wore black high knee boots and tied your hair into a mermaid braid.
You unlocked the window and climbed out, you climbed up the ladder and stood on the roof of your new building. You jumped roof to roof until you hear someone cry out for help, you jumped down the building landing on the attacker while fighting the others, once finished you turned to see your best friend, Ren who stared at you terrified.
"(Y/N)... y-you're alive?" she stuttered out.
"Ren" you said with a cold tone.
A couple of thuds was heard behind you, as you place your hands in your skirt pockets, you turned to see the now taller four mutant brothers you've come to love and hate. The walked towards you carefully, clearly cautious.
Leo stared at your eyes, clearly alive and not burned beyond recognition. Mikey placed his hands against his mouth, surprised at your appearance. He ran around his brothers, gathering you in his arms, hugging you tightly.
"You're alive!" he exclaims, crying against your shoulder.
You gave Mikey a unsure smile, hugging him back hesitentantly. "Yeah, Mikey I'm alive"
"How the hell are you alive?" Raph exclaims, "You were on the news. We checked your apartment, you were nothing but a burnt body"
You didn't reply and that made Raph angry, the betrayal on Donnie's face says it all and Leo, he just looked at you in disbelief.
You turn to walk away but you stop as you got a little further, "Take it up to your Sensei, he knows"

Hotch x male!reader - on those hard days
Tumblr media
That’s no problem at all! How about instead a Hotch x M!Reader who has a meltdown at the office and He’s the only person who can help the reader, and he takes the reader into his office to decompress and then suggests they go and get some food? Some warning signs of the impending meltdown could be more angry looking stims, tapping, pacing and biting at the skin around the edge of his nails. Please and thanks! (Btw thanks for letting me know you didn’t feel like you could write the other one!) - @the-imitation-blog 💜
33: “Can I stay at yours?” “You don’t need to ask.”
Hotch usually kept his door open unless he was in a meeting or he needed to get something done without being disturbed.
So, when he heard the sound of pacing steps he was straight up from his desk.
It was the weekend, it was only you and him since you both had some paperwork that needed finished quickly.
Hotch stood at the top of the stairs for a few seconds looking at you pacing back and forth, biting the skin of your fingers and he jogged down the stairs.
He made his way over and stood in front of you, keeping his distance as not to overwhelm you.
“(Y/N)? What’s wrong? What happened?” He asked.
He knew you, years of working with you let him learn your signs.
You glanced at him and you just gestured to your desk, so he walked over, looking over everything, then at your computer.
He could see what had happened, and with more and more people coming into the office, those who usually worked on the weekends he knew it was going to get worse.
“Hey, come with me, alright?” He asked quietly.
You nodded, following him to his office and he closed the door, letting you pace the length of his office away from curious eyes.
Hotch stood in front of you, holding his hands out and you placed your hands in his.
He checked them over, making sure you hadn’t injured yourself before holding them in one hand, reaching into his pocket he pulled out one of the stim cubes he kept in there for you.
You took it, fidgeting with it.
“Don’t worry about your paperwork, I’ll have Garcia go through the files on your computer and get the last backed up version, alright?”
You nodded your head, sitting down on his desk while he went to get his phone to call the tech wiz in order to ask for her help when she was free.
Hotch leant next to you on his desk, putting his phone back in his pocket.
“Can we get food…?” You asked quietly.
“Of course we can, you don’t have to ask you know that.”
Hotch grabbed his jacket, and he pulled it on, grabbing the jacket you left in his office when you came in and he held it out for you.
You trailed behind him as he led you to the elevator, keeping your hand brushing against his.
Hotch took you to your favourite food place, and you seemed to relax a little bit at the familiar environment and he knew it would help you.
“Sorry I freaked out…”
Hotch smiled softly at you.
“You don’t have to be sorry, I know you’ve been stressed lately, and loosing your mornings work definitely wouldn’t help.”
You nodded your head, sipping at your drink as you slumped down a little, resting your head on his arm.
“Garcia is going to stop by later on, get your computer sorted out for you for when we get back alright? There’s no rush to get it sorted, that can wait.”
“Thanks.”
Hotch glanced down at you, holding out his hand and you took it, lacing your fingers with his, letting him run his thumb along the back of your hand.
“Are you in a hurry to go home?” You asked.
“No, JJ is looking after Jack for the night so I could focus on doing the paper work, how come?”
“Can we go for a walk somewhere?”
“Yeah, whatever you want.”
You guys had lunch, holding light conversation while you ate, then you went to a quiet park in order to just walk around hand in hand.
You were still fidgeting with the cube he had given you, but as the day was passing, you were getting a little more relaxed.
You had put both your hands into the pocket of your jacket, and Hotch looked at you slightly.
“Do you want to go home now?” He asked.
You stopped, walking in front of him.
“Can I stay at yours?”
Hotch smiled, leaning forward to kiss your forehead.
“You don’t need to ask.” He whispered.
“Do you still have that sweater?”
“Of course I do.” He chuckled.
You smiled a little at him, resting your forehead on his shoulder, and he wrapped his other arm around you, resting his head on yours.
You moved from side to side a little bit making him chuckle and copy you, and finally after a moment you pulled away.
“Can we go home now?”
“Of course we can, come on.”
Hotch took you back to his, giving you a pair of sweatpants and the sweater you liked so much to change into while he got changed as well.
He was sitting on the couch waiting for you, and you walked over, laying yourself down with your head in his lap looking up at him.
Hotch smiled at you, a hand on his chest while his other hand ran through your hair, the one thing he always did in order to comfort you.
You didn’t speak much, you never did when you were having a hard day, you just looked up at him with a soft gaze.
Hotch smiled back, kicking his feet up on the table as he handed you the Tv remote, letting you pick whatever it was you wanted to watch.
While you watched your favourite show he just carried on watching you, running his fingers through your hair.
You brought your hand up to cover his, holding it gently, just enjoying his presence.
It was a comfort to be with him, a way to ground yourself from getting stressed or overwhelmed because you could just focus on him.
You may not be looking at him, but just being able to know that he with you, and was ready to step in at moment to help calm you down

I will let you haunt me
Bix Caleen x Male Reader
Warning; Some Smut.
Request - Bix Caleen x male!reader where y/n is Anakin's twin brother who is force sensitive and is just as powerful and skilled as Anakin before his brother became Darth Vader. He went into hiding, and utilizing force cloud to hide his light side force powers. He also trains everyday so when the time comes he will be ready to face his brother. He met Bix on Ferrix and works at her business pulling apart old tech scraps and selling the parts.
Tumblr media
You have lived on a planet called Ferrix for a while now. You keep a low profile because you don't let anyone know, that your twin brother is Anakin Skywalker. You and Anakin don't have a good relationship as brothers, it's more that you are his enemy. You left home but he doesn't know where you are and he doesn't care about you.
Bix is in the garage taking part the old droid. You walked in but you didn't say anything to her, you just watched her work.
“You are a bad worker, Y/n” Bix said.
“I didn't do anything,” You said.
She turned around and you walked closer to her.
“Help me with the useless droids. I think I could sell it” Bix said.
“Okay, baby girl I will help you” You tased.
“Don’t call me that” Bix said.
She rolled her eyes at you. She won't admit that she likes it when you call her that. You smacked her ass then you helped take apart the old droids. You and Bix are friends with benefits, but she is starting to develop strong feelings for you. But you don't know because she hasn't told you about it or given you a hint of how she feels.
You and Bix managed to sell some old parts. She doesn't know that your brother is Anakin because you don't know how she will react. You just lied to her in the beginning saying that you don't have a family.
“Y/n, I managed to fix your armor,” Bix said.
“Really? I thought you couldn't because you didn't have the materials” You said.
“It's not a cute look how you doubt me, Y/n. I did get the beskar but it wasn't easy” Bix said.
“Thank you so much. I don't know what else to say besides thank you” You said.
You met Bix because she saved you. You were badly injured wearing the Mandalorian armor in the desert, then she took you to her home. Since then, you just stayed around.
Bix wrapped her arms around and you started to kiss her. You pull her closer and she starts to smile. You follow her to the bedroom, and then you and Bix start to undress each other. Then she lies on the bed and you get on top of her, and you start to kiss her neck. You start to kiss her body then you start to go lower, then she moans when you start to eat her out.
——
Bix was sleeping then she started to wake up. She noticed that you were not next to her she sat up then she heard something from outside. She starts to put on her clothes and she goes to the backyard and you are meditating.
“I can feel you watching me,” You said.
You haven't opened your eyes and you didn't move.
“How did you know? You didn't open your eyes and I didn't say anything” Bix said.
“When I meditate, I can hear everything even the smallest noises,” You said.
“Show off,” Bix said.
You just smirked. You meditate for a little longer then you go inside the house. Bix did make something to eat and you helped her finish heating the food.
✯ ✯ ✯ ✯
You are outside training with your two white lightsabers. Your targets are old useless machines and you would train for hours. You stop for a moment after you cut a machine in half, and you are breathing hard. You start to hear some yelling in the shop, you run to the shop. A customer is yelling at Bix and you didn't like that.
“I'm not giving you back your money! You bought it days ago” Bix said.
“You better give back my money! You gave me a worthless droid!” He yelled.
“You should leave,” You said.
“No! I want my money back” He yelled.
He was going to hurt Bix, but you used the force choke on him.
“Leave before I change my mind,” You said.
You keep using the force choke then she told you to stop. You stop and the stranger is breathing hard, and then he runs away.
“Y/n, where did you learn that?” Bix asked.
You never told her that you have special abilities. There is a lot that you didn't tell her about yourself and you hate lying to her, but you don't want to get her into your problems.
“I have special abilities,” You said.
“Why you never told me?” Bix asked.
“I-I… I don't know” You said.
“I thought I knew you,” Bix said.
“I’m sorry, I'm really sorry,” You said.
“But thank you for dealing with him,” Bix said.
“You don't have to thank me, I will always protect you,” You said.
“What other abilities you can do?” Bix asked.
You start to tell her what you can do, and she is impressed.
——
Last night you and Bix had sex. You are still sleeping and she stares at you. Then she gently touches your cheek and you haven't opened your eyes yet. She leans in and kisses you on the lips, then she moves her hand away from your face.
✯ ✯ ✯ ✯
You and Bix to the middle of the desert to find new items to sell. It didn't take long to find an abandoned spaceship. While walking towards the ship, you stepped on something. You and Bix hear a clicking sound and you don't move.
“Did you step on a landmine?” Bix asked.
“I think I did. If I move, we will both die” You said.
“Do you think it was the Tuskens?” Bix asked.
“I don't know, maybe. Bix, you should go” You said.
“Y/n,” Bix said.
“I don't want you to get hurt-” You said
“I love you!” Bix yelled.
Your eyes opened wider.
“What!?” You yelled.
“I love you, Y/n. I always wanted us to be more than friends. I can be myself around you and you don't judge me like other people do, because I grew up poor. I know this isn't the right time to confess how I feel but I -” Bix said.
“I feel the same way, baby girl. I just didn't know how to tell you and I never felt like this before. I thought I would never fall in love but you are different. Bix, I can't let you stay here. Go just go” You said.
“Y/n, I…” Bix said.
“Bix! Go, I got an idea and I don't want you to get hurt, go!” You said.
She gets on the space bike and you watch her get further away. You keep watching her and you start your plan. You have the ability to do force lightning, you aim your hands on the floor and you start to get ready.
Bix is far and she stops to watch what will happen to you. She saw a small explosion and she started to panic, then she went back to the spot.
“Y/n” Bix yelled.
When the smoke started to go away she saw you. She got off the space bike, then ran towards you and she hugged you. You hug her back and she is holding you tight
“I’m okay,” You said.
“I thought you got caught in the explosion,” Bix said.
“I managed to get away before the explosion got me. I'm okay, baby girl” You said.
“Stop calling me that,” Bix said and tried not to smile.
“That won't happen” You smirked.
She made the first move and kissed you on the lips. You start to kiss her back and she is still holding you tight.
—-
You and Bix left and went home. She noticed a scar on your arm because of the explosion. And she starts to clean the wound
“I can heal,” You said.
She watched your forearm heal.
“Wish I can do that,” Bix said.
You still haven't told her that your brother is Anakin.
“I saw a poster on the wall about Darth Vader. I don't trust him ruling the galaxy, anyone who works for him or anyone related to him, shouldn't be trusted” Bix said.
“Everyone has different opinions about him,” You said.
“I doubt that anyone likes him or his family,” Bix said.
You didn't say anything. She kissed you on the lips and you started to smile at her.

“hands”
content: tech x reader, fluff, gn!reader, tech has gotten himself injured. you're a medic and he asks you to hold his hand for comfort or whatever. confessions ensure. please don't expect much i was barely awake when i wrote this, he's probably very ooc.
word count: ~800
Tumblr media
A soft voice calls out to you. Immediately, you turn towards him.
"Yes, Tech?"
He sighs, as if hesitant to speak, and then asks "I-uh- as you already know, I mean, you are the bad batch's medic, I am currently in a state of mind that I am not quite used to, due to my injuries. And, I fully understand if you wish to keep me at the distance since we are mere acquaintances - but, would you be willing to engage in physical contact with me in hopes of, eh, calming my nerves? Of course, I would never wish to push you to actions you are not comfortable with, but all of brothers are not available right now and I trust you, deeply so, therefore I felt this was a request considered reasonable, although I hope that you understand that I-"
"Tech, dear. Please don't worry, offering you guys comfort is also a job of mine. Would you be okay with me holding your hand?"
He pushes his glasses up and smiles up at you, then winces in pain at the way the facial movement caused the wound on his cheek to move.
"I would like that quite a lot. Please do so."
You grab his hand and immediately, he clasps his fingers around yours. It's a tight grasp, and it feels like he's holding onto you with everything he's got - he probably is - but it doesn't feel uncomfortable, rather, it feels calming. You reciprocate the action and he seems to enjoy it.
After a short while of hand-holding, you take a closer look at Tech and deduct that he has not managed to relax completely - at least, for now. You sit down on the bed next to him.
Using your other hand, you start to softly trace lines on his arm. At first, Tech seems confused at your actions, but then accepts them. Gladly.
"This is quite pleasant" he states. You take this as permission to slowly push up the fabric of his sleeve, the material bunching at his elbow. Then, you continue softly with your tracing, but the direct skin-on-skin contact makes the action feel more comforting (at least you hope so).
"Can, can I tell you something? I don't know how to say this, but..."
"Of course, Tech. Please never hesitate to ask me for anything."
He breathes, in then out again, as if bracing himself for something. Then, the man inhales and speaks: "I am usually, as you probably already have deducted, quite uncomfortable with discussing my feelings, as I worry about being distracting or something similar, but my recent injuries have been a reminder of how, eh, dangerous and unpredictable my lifestyle can be, and the threat of death, whilst I am already used to it, has been driving me into a state of awareness and urgency, and I think I just need to, tell you, and stop rambling and - damn, this is, harder than I expected! Of course, when dealing with potent emotions and feelings like I am experiencing at this very moment, a lot of nervousness is to be expected, but I-"
Tech stops talking and gasps for air. "Apologies, but- I'm nervous."
"It's fine. Don't worry about it. You had a hell of a day." you reply, give him your most assuring smile and squeeze his hand.
You have been listening to his little speech quite intently, not interrupting your "physical contact", as the male would put it, and were quite interested in the conclusion.
"Do you wish to continue speaking, Tech? But please, remember to breathe!"
He nods, then starts again.
"I understand if you feel uncomfortable with me feeling these things, I want you to know that I am not trying to impede onto you or anyone you might be with, and if you do not wish to interact with me any further, I truly understand, so please don't feel pressured-" Tech rambles on once more, but stops once you squeeze his arm.
"Breathe, Tech. Whatever you say, I'll understand. Please don't worry."
He closes his eyes and squeezes out a gentle "I think I really like you. Whenever I'm close to you, I feel so alive, so, free, you always calm me and you always make me feel like - like I am floating, like I am okay. You make me feel, happy. It's nice. I-I don't ever want to live in a galaxy without you."
He opens his eyes once more and stares at your face as if trying to read it to predict your answer.
"I feel the same way about you, Tech."
And then you squeeze his arm again.
"More than you could ever imagine."

thank you for reading ♥️

Henry Danger Reader Insert | Captain Man x Reader: SEASON 1
Episode 3: Mo' Danger, Mo' Problems
Reporting to his job, Henry walked into the elevator and hit the down button. Even though he braced himself, the sensation of falling down the shaft in the broken machine still made him scream all the way to the bottom. The elevator door opened, letting the pyjama-clad boy step out.
"He's got to fix that elevator." He groaned and huffed to (y/n), as he walked into the Man Cave.
"Where's Ray? He triple-beeped me." Henry asked the sleepy-looking woman, who like him was wearing pyjamas. 
"Honestly? I don't know. Jerk woke me up and just said to give you this and to tell you to put it on your wrist." (y/n) held out a watch for him and rubbing her tired eyes.
"Sure, what else would I put it on?"He joked, fastening the strap, as (y/n) chuckled at him.
"Flip the cover." She said as she sat down with her arms on the back of the couch. She let her head flop down as she looked at Henry. 
"Hiya Henry!" Ray said excitedly in hologram form. 'So that was his plan.' (y/n) grumbled in her mind.
"Oh!" Henry looked at the little Ray in shock at the sudden appearance of his boss.
"Ray?" He said to make sure it was him.
"Yep. I'm hovering over your wrist in hologram form!" He said waving his hands in a silly manner. Henry wanted to see how his new gadget worked, so he poked Ray in his eye, causing him to clutch it in fake pain.
"You poked my eye out!" He screamed, making (y/n) roll her eyes.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Henry thought he had injured his boss and put a hand over his racing heart.
"I'm just kidding. You can't hurt a hologram or a Captain Man!" Ray reassured him, doing a little dance.
"This is so cool." Henry geeked out at the thought of having hologram tech. 
"It would be even cooler if I hadn't been woken up." (y/n) mumbled, her words slurred from her face being smushed into her arms. 
"It's like we're in the same room." Henry carried on complimenting the watch.
"We are." The holo-Ray turned around and walked off, causing the image to fizzle out. Henry looked confused and waved his hand over his wrist to see where the man had gone.
"Where'd you..." Henry started, but Ray had crept past (y/n) and patted him on the shoulder, scaring the wits out of the boy.
"Peek-a-boo," Ray said, as Henry screamed. The young woman at the couch wasn't happy from the noise and looked up at the males who were keeping her awake.
"Couldn't this have waited until morning, doofus?" She glared.
"Aww, she's always grumpy when she's tired." Ray fawned over her despite the killer look she was giving him, before turning back to his sidekick.
"Now, take off your old wristband." He instructed.
"Okay, why am I--" Henry started, but Ray was too impatient for questions.
"From now on I'm going to contact you on your new whiz watch."
"So what do I do with the old one?" Henry questioned, holding the old gadget in his hand.
"Toss it up in the air," Ray replied nonchalantly.
"Why?"
"It's about to self-destruct." He told the teen, who promptly threw it to the ground with wide eyes. The bracelet started beeping, but there was a delay between the beeps and the explosion.
"Hmm- that's weird. It was supposed to--" They were caught off guard by the wristband imploding, making them jump into each other's arms and (y/n) to awake from her dozing with a start.
She looked up and saw the two hugging each other in fear, but they soon found it awkward, so they parted, clearing their throats and avoiding eye contact. 
"I see you're wearing pyjama pants," Ray mentioned, trying to diffuse the awkwardness. 
"Yeah, it's almost midnight. I was studying for this huge test I have tomorrow." Henry explained.
"And I was asleep, but you came into my room and jumped on my bed." The girl had walked over to Ray and was pointing an accusing finger in his face. He just smiled at her and pulled her into a warm hug.
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry." He said, his body heat making her sleepy again, so she stayed silent and just let herself doze off against his chest.
"What subject?" Ray asked over her head, trying to ignore the sweet smell of her shampoo. The vibrations from his chest made her face feel funny.
"Puerto Rican history." Henry overlooked their cuteness and didn't mention the embrace, because he knew Ray would kill him.
"Ahh, Puerto Rico, Land of..." The superhero began, but he trailed off when he realised he didn't know a lot about the country. 
"Puerto Ricans?" Kid Danger filled in for him.
"Right." He admitted defeat, but the emergency alarm went off, which made (y/n) jump in his arms. With a whiny moan, she stepped out of his warmth and trudged over to the supercomputer with them, opening the camera link to the store above.
"What's up, Gooch?" She slurred with her elbows on the control panel and her face in her hands.
"There's a robbery in progress." He instantly reported.
"Where?" Ray interrogated. 
"At the 24-hour antique bottle shop."
"Glass from The Past?" Henry asked, knowing where the store was in downtown Swellview.
"Affirmative," Gooch said.
"On it." Ray said, as his best friend slowly pressed the off button, cutting the video call. 
"Right here to Glass from The Past, ETA is like, 15 minutes I think." She said quietly, rubbing her face so she could wake up and notify the owner about Captain Man's arrival.
"Shall we?" Ray showed his gum tube to Henry, who shared his look of determination.
"Let's blow some bubbles and fight some crime," Henry said, putting the gumball in his mouth. They chewed and stepped away from the computer, so they could transform properly into their Captain Man and Kid Danger costumes.
"Let's hit it, Kid Danger." Captain Man said to the boy on his right.
"Fist." Henry and Ray fist-bumped each other, both running on adrenaline. 
"Get some sleep." Ray said to (y/n), who was wearily looking on from the computer chair. She waved at the two, as they ran to the tubes and slapped their belt buckles.
"So whipped." Henry chuckled, once his tube was down and only Ray could hear him.
"Up the tube," Ray said in a slightly stern voice, looking at Henry with his serious face, but the boy cheekily grinned back, as they were sucked up.
"Aw, my boot!" Henry couldn't believe his shoe had fallen off, all the way down at the other end of the tube.
"Ha! Serves you right! Just yell, 'Up the boot!'" Ray bit his tongue, amused that karma had paid Henry back for all his teasing. With Henry gaining his boot back, the two made their way to the store, ready to kick some criminal butt.
~(y/n)'s PoV~
I hadn't felt that tired in a while, but working for Captain Man meant that every couple of weeks brought a few sleepless nights. The last robbery at Swellview Bank had only been a few days before, and Ray didn't come back 'til 3AM. Like me, he was exhausted from fighting The Toddler and the rookie criminals at the bank. Still, he was lucky that he now had Henry to help him. I made him some hot cocoa and we both fell asleep for 14 hours, waking up the next day to another emergency call.
I blushed when I remembered how Ray's arms were around my waist from him spooning me in our sleep. He groaned as he got up, and I quickly had to answer Gooch's call before he saw my red face.
'No, no no, focus on the task at hand.' I scolded myself.
'Just call the store owner and tell him Captain Man is on his way. No distractions.' I took in a deep breath and dialled the number on the supercomputer.
"H--Hello?" The man on the other end of the line shakily said. 
"Hello sir, Captain Man will be with you in a few minutes, please remain calm," I said softly, not wanting the man to freak out and do something that meant the robber would hurt him. 
"Please! I need him here now! I'm being robbed!" I sighed, feeling too tired to deal with this, but I carried on, knowing my colleagues would be there soon.
"Sir, please stay calm. Captain Man and Kid Danger will be with you shortly." I tried to keep the man quiet, knowing the criminal was close by, possibly even in the same room as him. 
"Put that phone down, come on bro, open up that cash register." I heard the thug shouting and slamming on the counter. 'Sweet cheese, come on Ray.' I prayed that things wouldn't get ugly.
"I'm going as fast as I can, boss!" I made out the owner trying to tell him, but it seemed the robber wasn't a patient man.
"Give me that pretty lavender bottle, 'cause it matches my motorcycle helmet." My eyebrows furrowed when I heard the strange request, deducing that this was another nutjob, bad guy. 
I continued the listen to the poor owner follow the demands of the robber, hearing the rustle of paper and his compliant answers. 
"Excuse me." I let out a sigh of relief when I heard Ray's familiar Captain Man voice through the speaker. The owner's delighted words reassured me that he now had the proper help and that the criminal was about to face justice. 
I pressed the end button on the panel, glad that my job was done. I slowly got up from my chair and stretched my tired muscles. Feeling the sleepiness creep up on me, I decided to take Ray's advice and slowly lumbered up to the sprocket and off to bed.
~Glass From The Past, 3rd Person PoV~
"What the--" The robber looked over to see Captain Man had just entered the store, much to the happiness and delight of the owner he was threatening.
"I hope you're planning to pay for that lavender bottle," Ray told the criminal, but he knew the real answer.
"And I hope that, too!" Henry added in, as he shot through the door and stood next to the older man. The store owner was so relieved to have the duo in his store to protect him and his property.
Ray walked forward, in time with the goon, and stood in front of him in a standoff. The two glared at each other.
"I ain't afraid of you." The thug said in a tough voice, raising the metal bar in his hand and whacking it on Ray's head. Keeping cool, Ray swallowed down the yelp that threatened to escape and coolly looked back to the criminal.
"Try again. Keep your left arm straight." He said, his eyes squinting in a challenge to the large man. Not backing down, the man hit him again with more force, the pain making him grunt this time.
"Strike three." He growled huskily, having had enough with the criminal, but Henry butted into his imposing façade.
"That was only two." He pointed out.
"Okay, don't correct me in front of the criminals." Ray chastised him, not wanting to look dumb. Henry backed off, so Ray could stop the man on his next swing. Grabbing the arm with the metal pipe in, Ray knocked it back into the man's face, making him scream in pain. Stepping back, Ray then kicked him into a display of antique bottles, which horrified the cashier.
"You really wanna fight us? Ray asked, not caring about the broken vases. The man looked between the large, muscly superhero and his smaller, scrawny sidekick.
"Can I just fight the kid?" He asked looking at Captain Man, which offended Henry, who thought he could take on any bad guy, even if they were three times his size.
"No, you can't just fight--" Ray started.
"Sure he can. Come on, tough guy." Henry challenged, getting into a fighting stance and rocking back and forth on his toes.
"Okay." That was all the criminal said, as he just put his purple helmet over Kid Danger's face and grabbed his pipe.
"Oh, this smells so bad!" Henry complained, trying to get the helmet off so he could see. Ray stood there, unimpressed and agitated, but he didn't want Henry to be hit by the metal pipe, so he grabbed two antique golf clubs from the shop wall. The man at the cash register protested at him, not wanting any more damage done to his shop.
"Kid Danger, catch this golf club!" He shouted, throwing one at Henry, but due to his inability to see, it just hit him in the face. The criminal charged forward, the metal pipe in the air, trying to hit Captain Man, who was narrowly dodging his blows. 
"You're not helping me!" The owner shouted at them, as more and more antiques were destroyed. The battle resulted in nearly all the bottles on display being smashed, either from Ray and the thug missing each other with their weapons, or Henry blindly swinging his golf club around.
"Captain Man, where are you?" Henry yelled, not know what was happening.
"Follow the sound of my voice!" he told the teen, and they started to play Marco Polo in an attempt to find each other.
"Marco!"
"Polo!" They continued to smash up everything in the shop.
"Could you superheroes please just leave?!" The cashier pleaded, his whole livelihood turning to nothing on the floor, as Ray roundhouse kicked the criminal into a shelving unit. Finally being near Henry, he avoided the boy's wild swings and brought him under control, removing the helmet.
"Where is he?" said Henry, ready to keep fighting, but the bad guy was on the ground, writhing in pain. 
"Did I get him?" He looked up at his boss.
"Yeah, you got him," Ray said, mostly to keep him happy.
"My whole store is destroyed!" The owner sounded distraught as he looked over the damage.
"No need to thank us." Ray smiled at him.
"Thank you?" The man replied rhetorically.
"You're welcome." Ray didn't understand that the man was upset.
"Let's go, Kid Danger." He said to Henry, ready to go back to the Man Cave and relax. 
"NO! Nobody leaves until you boys clean up all of this broken glass." The owner insisted, making the superheroes turn around with surprised eyes.
"Alright." Captain Man conceded.
"But I've got to get up at 7AM tomorrow for my test at school." Henry reminded him, not liking the idea of staying up all night to clean up. His test was too important.
"This will only take us like, five hours. I'll get you a broom." Ray tried to sound positive, but it was futile. He walked to the back of the store, as Henry staggered back to the wall, already exhausted from the notion of hours more work. He slumped to the floor in defeat.
~Five hours later, Ray's PoV~ 
I let out a long groan as the tube dropped me back down into the Man Cave. Cleaning up at the robbed store had left me feeling drained, and I was glad to be back home. Removing my mask and rubbing my eyes, I decided it was best to forget grabbing something to eat and to just go to bed since I didn't know when the next emergency would come in.
Going through the sprocket, I walked down the corridor towards my bedroom. I slowed down as I passed by (y/n)'s room and remembered how tired she was. Without a second thought, my hand pressed the button to open the door and I poked my head in to check on her. I saw her tucked up in bed, sleeping soundly, making me release a breathy smile. 
'Too cute.' I thought to myself, noticing how her chest was rising and falling in a steady rhythm. My face flushed when I realised I was staring, and I quickly retreated from her room, closing the door behind me. I walked quickly down the hall to my room and I could feel my ears burning. 
'Just friends, nothing more. She's outta your league.' I said the mantra in my mind, thinking that she could never be mine. Finally, I got to my room and started to remove the super suit. I dumped it into my laundry basket, knowing that (y/n) would clean it as soon as she woke up like she always did. 
Pulling on some pyjama bottoms, I made my way over to my bed and flopped down onto it, pulling the blankets over me. Sleep rapidly brought me under, and I gently drifted off to dreams of a girl with (y/c/h) hair and (y/c/e) eyes. 
~Swellview High, 3rd Person PoV~ 
"Henry?"
"Henry." Called Miss Shapen, Henry's history teacher. She looked down at the boy, who had fallen asleep in class from fighting crime all night. Deciding that no student was going to sleep in her class, the teacher put her finger into her mouth and then into Henry's ear, giving him a wet willy. He jerked awake from the feeling and looked up to see the woman sneering down at him.
"HENRY!"
"Whoa, whoa, what happened?" He blinked through the sleep and looked around the class.
"Did you just give me a wet willy?" Henry asked in disgust.
"Mm-hmm. It was real wet." Charlotte mentioned from behind him.
"You slept through your entire test." Miss Shapen scolded him.
"I did?" Henry couldn't believe he had missed his test, as he'd not written a single thing down.
"You all see this boy? This is what happens when you stay up all night on Twitflash and Twiddlegram." The teacher said to the class, pointing at Henry.
"Excuse me, Miss Shapen?" Jasper requested from his seat near the back of the classroom.
"What?" 
"Can I have a wet willy?" His question thoroughly confused her, and everyone else listening, but it was Jasper, so they all ignored how weird it was.
~Henry's house, later that night~ 
Henry had run upstairs to his bedroom, after getting a triple beep from Ray on his watch. He'd had to make an excuse to his family about being too tired to eat his 'chilli balls'. Locking the door, he flicked the watch open.
"Henry, why aren't you on your way here?" Holo-Ray said, confused as to why his young sidekick was still at his house.
"Because I got in trouble for sleeping in class today and I had to make chilli balls," Henry explained.
"Did he say 'chilli balls'?" He could hear (y/n) wondering in the background.
"It was my night." he replied, trying to convince them that he had been forced to make dinner for his family.
"Kid, there's been an escape from Swellview Prison. I need you." Captain Man urged him, knowing that there were dangerous criminals on the loose.
"Alright, I'll be there in 10 minutes." Henry sighed, he was way too tired to fight some bad guys, and he still needed to study for his big make-up test on Friday.
"Good, run like a bunny," Ray said, which made his best friend.
"When have you ever said that before?" She giggled, but the hologram shut off before Henry could see them argue. Closing his whiz watch, he walked to his bed and tried to clamber over it, so he could reach his gum tub on the nightstand.
"Okay, just gotta get my special gum." He said to himself, leaning across the pillows. However, the feeling of the soft mattress and fluffy pillows caused his tiredness to creep upon him. His gum tube was in hand, but the lull of the sleep he so desperately craved made him drift off, mumbling something about bunnies.
~90 minutes later~
Henry's watch was beeping like crazy, but the teen couldn't hear it from his deep sleep. He also didn't hear Captain Man climbing up to his window, even though he was banging on the glass and angrily calling his name.
"Henry, open up!" Seeing that his attempts were useless, Ray was too impatient to wait for Henry to wake up and decided to use his laser remote to shoot open the lock on the window. Sliding it open with a grunt, he rolled in and saw Henry still asleep. Feeling extremely irritated that his sidekick hadn't noticed his presence, he shut off the beeping watch from his remote control and wafted his scent over to the boy. The foul smell made the boy wake up with a scowl on his face.
"Ugh, what is that smell?" Henry asked, still not noticing Ray.
"I'm that smell!" Ray yelled at him indignantly.
"Wh-- Captain Man, what are you doing here?" He asked, shocked to see the superhero in his room.
"What are you doing here?" Ray shot back rhetorically.
"Huh?" 
"I called you 90 minutes ago and I told you we had an emergency!" Ray squeaked out, the anger making his voice go high-pitched.
"R--right, I guess I fell asleep," Henry replied in a small voice.
"I guess I fell asleep" Ray mocked him in a whiny voice. Henry stepped forward and sniffed his super suit more closely, his nose wrinkling at how bad the stench was.
"Ugh, why do you stink?" His grimaced.
"I stink because I just spent the last hour chasing three criminals through the Swellview Sewer. You know what's down in the Swellview Sewer?" Ray shot back, emphasising how he had to do it alone.
"Poop?" Henry guessed in a tentative voice. 
"POOP!" Ray confirmed with a shout. Suddenly, there was a bang on the door and Henry realised that Piper was trying to get in.
"Oh, my sister." He said, trying to shove Ray to the window. Piper would implode if she saw Captain Man in his room.
"We have a lot to talk about." Ray tried to say, but for a small kid, Henry was surprisingly strong and kept pushing him backwards. Not wanting to be pushed around by a child, Ray let up the ledge in Henry's room and dived out of the window onto the ground below.
"I'm okay." He shouted back up. Henry knew he wasn't hurt and went to unlock the door so he could let his sister in.
"Who were you talking to in here?" She quizzed him as soon as the door was open.
"Nobody." Henry scoffed.
"MOM!" Piper yelled in her shrill voice, wanting to get Henry in trouble. 
"What is it, sweetie?" Mrs Hart appeared.
"Henry was talking to someone in his room and now he says nobody's in here." The 9-year-old snitched. 
"Well, I'm sure if Henry said nobody was in here, then-- Ugh! What is that smell?" Mrs Hart's rational thinking was cut off when Ray's poop smell hit her nose.
"Uh, it's Piper. She hasn't had a bath in a week!" Henry lied, knowing it would kill two birds with one stone; it would explain the smell and get rid of his annoying sister.
"That's a lie!" Piper protested, but Mrs Hart pulled her away anyway. Hearing Piper's shrieks down the hall, Henry slammed the door shut and locked it again, glad to finally be alone. But the hand tapping on his shoulder said otherwise.
"Don't sneak up on me like that." He said to his boss.
"You disappointed me tonight," Ray said in a voice that all grownups have. 
"I'm disappointing everybody. People should just call me 'Kid Disappointment." Henry whined, feeling depressed because nothing was going right for him.
"All right, well, just tell me what the problem is," Ray stated, looking up at Henry, who was now sitting on his couch by the window.
"Time, school, working for you, my family. It's just--it's a lot to handle." He admitted, which made Ray think for a moment.
"Well, giving advice is (y/n)'s strong point, but I do know a guy that could get rid of your family." He said, semi-joking.
"What?" Henry looked at him with a shocked expression.
"Kidding! I joke... I do know a guy." Ray smiled and pointed at the boy.
"Oh! I think I can fix your problem." He said suddenly, clapping his hands together.
"Really?" Henry was sceptical, but he kept listening.
"Meet me at headquarters tomorrow." Captain man said excitedly.
"I'm there." Henry agreed, but Ray got distracted by a photo on his table.
"Hey! Who's this?" He said flirtatiously.
"My mom," Henry said in disgust.
"Niiiiice. She, uh, she still married to your dad?" He said smirking, but Henry wasn't having any of it.
"Yes. Dude, don't you like (y/n)?" He said in exasperation. 
"Just friends. Does she ever seem bored or lonely to y--?" Ray tried to say, but Henry felt too tired to deal with him.
"Go home, Ray." The superhero moved towards the window, the photo still in his hand.
"The picture, Ray." He took the photo back, as the superhero climbed out of his window, down the tree and subsequently, went home.
~The Man Cave, 1 hour later~
Ray shot down the tube and as he stepped out, still covered in poop, he noticed that (y/n) was sat at the computer. She was eating popcorn and laughing along to a cheesy romcom. 
"Hey." She greeted him in a happy voice, but then the smell wafted to her side of the Man Cave.
"Oh my God, what is that?" She looked at him in repulsion and walked over to him so she could identify the smell. Stepping closer, she took a sniff of his suit but immediately stepped back, as Henry did earlier. Her hands snapped over her nose, trying to block out the offending odour.
"God, you smell like sh---" Her voice was muffled by her hands.
"Yes, I know. I had to climb through Swellview sewer. Alone." He said, yanking his mask off in irritation.
"Alone? Where was Henry?" Normally, (y/n) would've given him a hug, or put a comforting hand on his arm, but there was no way she was going to be near the superhero in his current state.
"Asleep! The kid fell asleep in his room and never turned up!" Ray recalled, his voice going high again.
"He did spend all of last night cleaning up with you, and he has to go to school." The young woman reasoned, knowing the superhero life was tough, especially for a young boy.
"He really let me down tonight," Ray muttered, walking to the couch to sit down, but (y/n) hastily shooed him away.
"Don't touch anything! Get that suit off and go get cleaned up!" She scolded him, pointing to where the showers were.
"Oh, and don't give Henry a hard time. All teenagers have a lot going on, and he's now a superhero. You should understand how hard that is." Her voice was soft, but the look in her eyes left no room for an argument, so Ray just whined and went up to the sprocket.
"He's coming over tomorrow, I've got a plan." Ray said, walking down the corridor, leaving the girl alone.
'Not another plan.' (y/n) rolled her eyes, wondering what tomorrow would bring.
~The next day~
(y/n) stood with a brain scanner in her hand, and she was busy using it on Henry's head, who was looking uncomfortable with the situation.
"Um, what's that thing doing?" He asked her, not knowing what was going on.
"Scanning your brain," she said, smiling so it sounded like a good thing.
"Oh, cool." The boy replied, seemingly impressed.
"Take a deep breath for me." The young woman instructed, switching sides so she could scan the other part of his head.
"Now go, oodle, oodle, oodle." She said, just wanting to see if Henry would do it.
"Oodle, oodle, oodle." Henry mimicked the noises she made, which resulted in (y/n) giggling.
"You're off-key. It's oodle, oodle, oodle, oodle." They started to do it at the same time, laughing alone with each other.
"Why are we doing this?" Henry asked.
"Relax, kid," Ray said, coming out of the door near the auto-snacker.
"I can't. I got a huge makeup test tomorrow and I gotta study, and (y/n)'s making me go oodle, oodle, oodle." Henry explained, feeling agitated from the weird stuff he had to do and from the stress of his upcoming test.
"You're still not doing it right." She said in a flat tone.
"I don't care! I don't have time to relax!" Henry shouted back.
"Exactly! Your only problem is a lack of time." Ray said mysteriously, making Henry look to the left in thought.
"Imagine if you could do all you studying for school in only 30 seconds." (y/n) proposed.
"How can I learn anything in 30 seconds?" Henry wondered, not understanding the correlation.
"With this. The cerebral data transducer, or as we call it, the H.R.Z" Ray lifted up a technical-looking helmet that was connected to a long wire.
"This device can transfer knowledge from a data source directly into your brain, at 90 million digibles per second." The young woman explained the science, briefly looking up from the controls. 
"Why am I locked in a chair?" Henry queried.
"Do you wanna get a good grade on your Puerto Rican math test?" Ray asked him.
"History." His sidekick corrected.
"Same thing." Ray's short answer made his best friend laugh.
"Right, let's do this thing." (y/n) said, and Ray placed the helmet on Henry's head, making it flash and beep.
"Now, I'll just set the computer to acquire all the world's historical knowledge on Puerto Rico," Ray said, reaching past (y/n) who was fixing the cable
"Woah, intense. But, uh, will this hurt?" Henry asked, his heart thumping loudly in his ears.
"Yeah, a lot." There's no point in lying to him.' The girl thought, as she turned up the power with Ray. They each ran over to the controls, and both pulled down a lever, starting the extremely painful process.
"Wait, so, how will I know--?" Henry started, but the rush of information flooding into his mind made him cry out in agony. The two grown-ups with him could only look on and hope it would work.
"Just enjoy it!" The superhero tried to encourage, but Henry couldn't hear him over his screaming.
"Does that look enjoyable to you?" (y/n) looked at him with lifted eyebrows. Henry was kicking his legs out and his knuckles were clenched white on the armrests, making Ray and (y/n) grimace at the sight of him. However, Ray being childish, made a begrudging (y/n) take a picture of him smiling and giving a thumbs-up next to Henry and the machine.
They brought the power back down as the process was complete, and the 13-year-old slumped back down into the chair, the pain slowly releasing from his body. Each taking a side of the H.R.Z, (y/n) and Ray unscrewed the locks and took it off him, noticing how traumatised he looked. 
"Well?" Ray looked down at him.
"That hurt badddd." Henry clarified, the fear still evident in his eyes.
"Sorry about that, but now, tell me everything you know about Puerto Rico." (y/n) smiled at him from the other side of the chair.
"I don't know anything about-- Puerto Rico is a series of islands with a landmass of 3,500 square miles and a population of 3.6 million people. Its glorious beaches and lush rainforests make it the perfect setting for a wedding, bar mitzvah, or growing bananas." Henry recited the information, making the two friends behind him nod at each other, pleased with their success.
"Whoaaaa. I know Puerto Rico." Henry looked at both of them in awe.
"Yeah, you do." (y/n) nodded with him.
"You see? You can learn anything you need to know for school in a matter of seconds." Ray said, putting the H.R.Z back.
"Yeah. Wait, do you think that's cheating?" Henry asked them in an unsure voice.
"Eh... no, not really."
"It's a grey area. No one will ever know." They reassured him. 
"I guess. Anyway, I really doing this appreciate you for me." Henry tried to speak, but all his words came out in the wrong order.
"Oh sweet cheese, the side effects." (y/n) facepalmed.
"What side effects?" Henry looked petrified.
"Y'see, after you use the H.R.Z, when you talk, you might mix up your words for a few days," Ray said, looking sheepish.
"Well, you could have before that you told me." Henry jumbled out, not really making much sense.
"Look at it this way, now, you're gonna do well on your test." (y/n) said to cheer him up. Henry perked up a bit, but then let out a loud, girly shriek. He looked a Ray in fright, as (y/n) grinned at the outburst.
"Why did I just--" he began.
"Another side effect." The woman said tentatively.
"Sometimes you'll scream like--" Henry cut him off with another screech.
"--a girl." Ray finished. 
"Just for a few days, no biggie." (y/n) was also trying to convince herself that everything would be okay.
"Oh, so I'm a girl like a days for a few screams. Wait." The word mixing was back. And then, Henry released another ear-shattering shout.
"You guys wanna get lunch?" Ray said to distract them all from Henry's problem. 
"Yeah." (y/n) quickly agreed, walking over to the snack machine with Ray, who wrapped an arm around her shoulders.
"What?" Henry just looked at them, as they walked away from his issues.
~Henry's school~
Henry was concentrating on the history lecture Miss Shapen was giving, ensuring he wrote down everything she said. He had just finished his sentence, when the bell rang, symbolising the end of the lesson.
"Okay, everyone, get out." Miss Shapen didn't have much love for her students.
"Henry, may I see you?" She called out to the boy, who was hoping he hadn't done something wrong. 
"Yeah sure. What's up?" He slung his backpack over his shoulder and went over to her desk. Charlotte decided to wait for him at the door. His teacher looked at him with a proud smile.
"Your grade." She said, passing him his test.
"100, I makeup test on my got?" Henry said, all in the wrong order.
"I mean, I got 100 on my makeup test?" Henry quickly corrected himself, before Miss Shapen was too weirded out.
"You answered every question perfectly." She complimented him.
"Awesome." Henry smiled before he let out one of his girl screams.
"That was inappropriate." Miss Shapen and Charlotte stared at him with a concerned face.
"I just got excited." Henry tried to explain.
"I'm proud of you Henry, I'd give you a hug if it wouldn't get me fired." His teacher gave him a rare compliment.
"Thanks."
"Have a good weekend." That was all Miss Shapen said.
"Too you." Henry shook his head at his incorrect words but resumed walking to Charlotte by the door, who congratulated him on his result.
"Where were you yesterday? You weren't in class." Dang, Charlotte was too smart for her own good.
"I go to had somewhere." He lied, confusing his friend.
"One more time?" She requested,
"I had... to go somewhere. Nailed it!" Henry spoke slowly, so he could speak correctly. He was glad he managed to say something right until he shrieked. Again. Charlotte jumped back from him.
"You later see." He quickly left the classroom, not wanting to do anything else odd, leaving Charlotte utterly confused as he let out more screams in the hall.

Sleepy Bois Inc x FranBow!Reader
In-game AU
Part 1/? Pt.2
Plantonic!SBI x Young!Reader
(10/11 years old)
OneShot/Drabble(?)
Genderneutral reader (they/them) 💜
INFO; If you haven't played or seen game play of Fran Bow then you can skip this if you'd like. If you don't care then go ahead.
Summary; Basically if you've seen/played the game you should know how this goes, you take place of Fran. So you go/went through the same things she did and you still have Mr. Midnight. This takes place while Fran is still in the mental hospital and then got teleported near the SBI.
Honestly I kept thinking about this but was afraid to request it to anyone so I'm doing it my myself-
If I get any info wrong, I'm sorry! I rewatched Markiplier's game play so it shouldn't be way off.
P.s not everything is described the same.
Tumblr media
(^ art by sunquids on twt)
CW/TW: mentions/includes of cussing, gore, death, blood, consumption of medication, sexual assault (brief mentions of Damian/The King)
Fluff/Normal
(Angst if you squint)
How you ended up there - How you met Philza and Technoblade
As you were walking around the hospital, you decided to take a pill to see if it'll help.
You watched as your vision blurred and some sort of demonic noises rang in your ears.
After a few seconds your vision cleared up, you took a look around the front desk.
The once dull and lifeless room had turned into this even duller and just plain deathly like room.
Blood was everywhere, random body parts of babies where thrown around. A skeletal figure was hung with what looked like an umbilical cord wrapped around its thin bones, it was connected to this baby covered by a blue blanket.
Just about everything looked grotesque.
Suddenly the floor ahead of you opened and this slimy black tentacle like arm grabbed you by the waist and pulled you in.
It seemed you may have passed out during your fall because you woke up to the sounds of hissing and supposedly two men.
Oh and let's not forget the killer headache causing the ringing in your ears. :)
You rubbed your eyes as you sat up, the light around you seemed much brighter than before.
You looked at the two men in front of you and then glanced down, you spotted Mr. Midnight!
His fur was spiked up and his ears were flat against his head. He seemed to be trying to protect you from the men.
Ignoring their presence you immediately scooped up your precious fur baby in your arms.
Your mind completely forgot about the fact there are two strange looking men in front of you.
A few droplets of water dripped down your (S/C) cheeks onto your (F/C) shirt/dress.
You started crying, so much happened in a short period of time and you found your cat you oh so desperately tried to find.
It panicked one of the adults. Said adult was an average tall man with slightly longer blond hair than average, he also had a green and white striped bucket hat. But what stuck out the most was the large pair of wings behind his back.
At first you thought that it was your pills fault but everywhere around you looked….
Normal?
It seemed like your meds wore off while you supposedly passed out.
But that doesn’t help or ease you at all. If the side effects wore off then how the hell did he have wings?!
The blond walked towards you slowly, like you were an injured puppy. His blue eyes roamed around your body, as if studying your every mouvements.
The other man who was beside him earlier seemed to tense up and looked at him as if he grew another head. He was on edge you assumed.
But he looked even weirder to you. He had long pink hair tied into a loose braid falling over his shoulder. Was it natural? He also had tusks peeking out from his bottom lip, they were large but not enough to be in the way. His skin seemed to be on the pinker side, it was roughed up with scars and calloused in certain areas. You noticed he had pig ears poking out his crown. Is he a king of sorts? Wait, that reminds you of someome... Oh! The king of course!
Ah yes, the king. You quite missed him actually, he was playful and let you use his cane- sword to get a key. But he didn't know about that part. You wonder if he's doing alright right know, the asylum sucks. And the shadow thing next to him said weird things to. Who exactly is the holy man? Why'd the shadow say he took off his clothes?
You couldn't dwell on it to much as you got distracted by the approaching man.
He reached out his hand to stop the winged male. “Phil-”
But the man named ‘Phil’ interrupted the crowned male by putting up his hand. He stopped his hand and let it limp to his side.
“It’s alright Tech, they seem harmless.” ‘Phil’ reassured, though ‘Tech’ nodded his head with a stern expression. There was still hesitance in his sharp red eyes.
‘Phil’ took the same hand he put up and reached it out to you. A soft and kind look in his eyes, you could’ve gotten lost in them if you weren’t careful.
“You alright there kid?” He asked, crouching down to meet your height from where you sat.
“Y-yeah, I think so…” You winced, your throat was hoarse and dry. You peered at ‘Phil’ as he took out this glass bottle with what you assumed was water.
He handed you the fragile bottle, he saw the look of hesitance in your childlike eyes. But something about them set off alarms in his head, they were dull. There’s nothing wrong with that of course! But they were too dull, at least for a mere kid.
He recognized a glint of trauma in your (Eye Shape) eyes, those beautiful (E/C) orbs had seen something they shouldn’t have. Haven’t they?
“Don’t worry mate, it’s fresh water.” He examined the way you handled the cork, you were inexperienced. He could tell you’ve never needed to do it, but why? It’s really the only way so far to keep water with you.
Did you not have any?
While he was lost in thought, you just had noticed he had an accent of sorts. Nothing wrong with it, you've just never heard of someone with it.
(^ Ignore that if you are british)
While the winged male was off in his own world the piglin hybrid watched as you sniffed the clear liquid in suspicion before letting your cat smell it as if you were looking for their approval.
To his surprise they did give it to you, the black cat nodded it’s head and squeaked out a meow. That strangely sounded like a yes- but he dismissed the thought. Probably was just the voices fucking with him.
You gulped down the water as if you hadn’t had any for months.
‘Why tf are they so desperate-’ ‘lowkey kinda concerned lmao’ ‘they look like they’d be an orphan tho’ ‘lmao maybe’ ‘idc about the kid, i want the cat’ ‘absolutely-’ ‘Nah fuck the cat, im allergic.’ ‘lol and?’ 'PFT ANY ASKERS???'
Those were all different voices speaking and overlapping each other.
Technoblade sighed as he glanced at his father, he knew him on the back of his hand. He let him be and slowly walked next to Phil and kneeled down.
“What’s your name kid?” he asked, taking the empty bottle you had handed him. “(Y/n), (Y/n) (L/n)/Bow.” You bluntly answered, looking at him in the eyes. He noticed how bloodshot they were, I mean you did cry not even 5 minutes ago.
"What's yours?" You questioned tilting your head a bit in the process.
Unbeknownst to you, some voices in a certain someone's head were losing their shit, squealing and chanting ‘protecc tiny bean’ over and over again.
"The name's Technoblade, but you can call me Techno." Strange name in your book but your not the one to judge. You simply nodded your head in acknowledgement.
"That guy is Philza, but you can call him Phil." He pointed his thumb to the unfocused man. Technoblade or Techno- cleared his throat.
“You’ve got somewhere to stay? Where are your parents?” “Why can’t you mind your business?”
Techno’s eyes twitched in annoyance and his teeth clenched to hold back any crude words.
Although he noticed the flash of pain in those dull (E/C) orbs of the mentions of your parents.
He sighed once again, something you noticed he did a lot. At least, so far he did.
“Look kid, do you have a place to stay or not?”
And that's how you ended up meeting your new family. . . <3
I may include a taglist if anyone's up to be tagged lmao

Where Loyalties Lie
(Technoblade X reader) 
Tumblr media
Request 3: Can we get a little angsty fic or headcanon of Techno trying to get the reader to leave L’manberg?
Requested By: Anonymous
~~~
     “Tubbo please take a deep breath,” You followed him around the rubble as he paced restlessly. 
     “I’m president of a crater (Y/n)!” The boy pulled on his ears with a loud whine, “What am I gonna do. I can’t believe Wilbur blew it up-” He felt your hands touch his own and gently pull them away from his oversensitive goat ears. “What am I gonna do? I-I’m a kid…” You frowned, moving to cup his cheek with your hand. He nuzzled into it desperately, welcoming the comforting touch of someone who he considered family. 
     “You’re going to get through it because you’re strong.” You told him, “and so brave little ram.” He flushed pink letting out a whine of protest especially because he was still surrounded by most of his friends. 
You watch as Quackity walked over to the both of you and placed his hand on Tubbo’s shoulder squeezing it, “We’ll rebuild. We’ll be right behind you Tubbo.” He smiled at the kid and you couldn’t help but smile over at him. 
     “Thank you both. Truly.” 
There was one thing that had you were worried you may come to regret, and that was not taking Technoblade’s hand as he fled from the country. You were close almost touching it, he looked like he wanted to beg for you too but one desperate cry from Tubbo had you pulling away. He looked heartbroken but at the same time, you saw understanding in his deep red eyes. 
Family came first. 
That day he pulled you close pressing a soft kiss on your forehead, “I’ll be back for you.” 
You murmured a soft I’m sorry, turning to find Tubbo to make sure he wasn’t injured or dying. The thoughts of the festival replaying in your head, you couldn’t go through that...not again especially because now Tubbo was officially on his last life. Tommy couldn’t fathom how you didn’t blame Technoblade for what happened that day, but to you, two things were clear: one was that Tubbo didn’t blame him which made it easier on your end to forgive him; two Schlatt was manipulative and overwhelming as fuck you can’t blame someone for something they were peer pressured into doing. Speaking of Tommy you ended up finding Tubbo and him in the rubble that day, the taller male was pressing cloth to Tubbo’s bleeding arm desperately, when you took over and Tommy seemed grateful. 
However, you had to push your possible regrets aside and focus on the new nation you’d help build, and build it you did. You worked endlessly for months on end creating a lovely new nation for people to live in, Tubbo had dubbed it New L’manburg. You felt his pride and happiness, he just loved seeing everyone together again and happy once again. Finally, the server felt somewhat normal after all that destruction, even if there was a Techno-shaped hole in your heart. Things changed rather quickly when Tubbo was, in your eyes, manipulated to exile Tommy by Dream. You had tried to argue for the boy saying that not only was he Tubbo’s friend but just a kid. You were shut down harshly by not only Dream but Tubbo as well, the look in his eyes was filled with so much loathing and frustration. It’s the first time he ever snapped and was harsh to you, you felt your own frustration bubble up in your chest. You turned on your heel and marched back up into your house, you were not going to put up with this behavior. When you slammed the door shut, and turned around to find Technoblade standing in your living room,  with your cat purring fondly on his shoulders; you almost screamed.
     “Heh- why are you scared it’s just me?” The hybrid complained his nose scrunching up, “Don’t be cringe- oof-” Techno grunted as you threw your arms around his waist, the man flushed to the tips of his ears and looked away from you, Taffy hopped off his shoulders disgruntledly, “Yeah, yeah, I missed you too.” He pet the top of your head tenderly and you looked up at him with a smile. 
     “What’re you doing here Tech? If Tubbo finds out he’ll have your head.” 
     “Then I guess we’ll just have to make sure he doesn’t find me then huh?” He mused lips, quirking into a smile, and you nodded in agreement. “Other than that just running some errands. I’m in retirement now you know. I have to say that ‘New L’Manburg’ is certainly a name.” He did air quotes around the name and you nudged him, 
     “Be nice.”
     “Boo Cringe. I’m a Blood God starlight. I don’t do nice.” 
     “Bullshit,” You punched him in the arm, “Tea?” 
     “Please.” He cracked a smile as you walked over to your tea kettle heating the water and grabbing some tea bags. 
     “So, you came here to run some errands huh? I almost thought you missed me?” Technoblade shuffled a little behind you, how could you read him so perfectly? It was complete and utter bullshit. You heard him click his tongue distastefully behind you and you couldn’t help but smirk cheekily,
     “Get off my back woman.” He stated gruffly as you laughed, “but I guess I do miss you a little bit.” You smiled fondly and softly cooed at him and he let out another scoff, 
     “A little bit?”
     “What is this interrogation? You a cop now?” You placed his tea in front of him and he took a sip,
     “Yeah, we’re gonna need to do a strip search. Drop your pants.” Technoblade choked on his drink, face turning the darkest shade of red you’ve ever seen from him. You howled with laughter sliding down in your seat beside the man. 
     “I changed my mind. I didn’t miss you at all, you’re a terror.”
     “You love me, admit it.”
     “Yeah, yeah, yeah.” He murmured looking at you with a sudden softness that was out of character for him. You didn’t notice the change but it was there, oh if only you knew how much of what you said was true. He did love you. He ran his tongue across his teeth and reached out to interlock your hands within his own. 
     “Come live with me.” 
     “Tech…”
     “I’m in retirement now. I’m going to get some turtles hopefully, maybe some other pets while I’m at it. There’s a lot of room...It gets lonely all alone you know. It’d be nice to have you there with me.” He watched hesitance flicker across your face again just like the day Wilbur blew up L’Manburg. Your thoughts went to Tubbo and how much he needed you, especially now that Tommy was exiled. However, you were also brought back to a few moments ago where Tubbo snapped at you for trying to help. You took a ragged breath and pushed his hand away, he frowned sadly bringing his hand back down to his lap. 
     “I need to be here for Tubbo. He’s a kid Tech...way over his head. Dreams sniffing around him like a dog looking for his next victim to manipulate. I can’t let that happen, not to him. I know he’s President of this nation and you hate him for that, but he’s my brother and I love him. He’s a tough kid with a lot of fire, but I can’t just leave him in the dust. I love you,” You reached up and cupped his cheek and Technoblade felt his cheeks burn at the implication, “but I can’t leave until Tubbo is safe.” 
     “I’ll convince you one day.” Technoblade shot back even though his heart ached, that you wouldn’t be coming home with him. But Technoblade wasn’t known for giving up. He was stubborn as hell, he’d win you over yet. You’d come home with him, he’d confess to you and he’d make you the happiest person in the world. You just...didn’t know it yet. 
     “I’m excited for the day you do Tech.” You snickered softly, you both were startled by harsh knocking on the door.
     “That’s my cue. See you soon Starlight,” Technoblade hummed slipping right out the window, you watched him go longingly. You shuffled towards the door and opened it slowly, on the front steps stood Tubbo who was rocking nervously on his feet. 
     “Hi…” 
     “Hey LR...you okay?” Tilting your head to the side,
     “Is LR supposed to stand for little ram?”
     “Problem?”
     “No…I suppose not.” He murmured before clearing his throat and straightening his back, “I wanted to talk with you.” 
     “Oh?” You raised an eyebrow watching him nod his head sternly, you walked outside and closed the door behind you so you could lean on it. “Shoot,”
You watched as Tubbo swallowed thickly, “First off I’m sorry for yelling at you earlier. It wasn’t fair of me to snap.” He watched you nod a little urging him to continue, “however, I am the President now and you have to respect my authority.” Eyebrows furrowing together in frustration you opened your mouth to counter him but he held up his hand, “Dream has an idea of how to rule. He can steer me in a better direction-”
     “Pardon me?” You let out a disbelieving laugh, “A better direction? Tubbo, are you forgetting everything we all fought for, we fought him for independence. He killed us!” 
     “He might’ve changed!”
     “He exiled Tommy!” 
     “He deserved it!” Tubbo shouted back as your nose scrunched up, “He’ll steer me in a direction that you never could!” He snapped before realizing what he said, he slapped his hands over his mouth eyes widening to the size of saucers. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean that-” 
     “Go home Tubbo.” 
     “(Y/n) please,” He reached out towards you and you held up your hand, 
     “Go reset the day. You need rest,” You frowned, turning back into the house “see you tomorrow.” Inside the house you shut the door on him and slid down onto the floor, you brought your hands to your mouth and swallowed thickly. A part of you wished Technoblade was still here just so he could tell you to get over yourself, he wasn’t skilled in the art of comforting others, but he could make you laugh. To keep yourself sane you reminded yourself that Tubbo was a child and needed you now more than ever, especially if he thought Dream was dishing out good advice. But you were hurt and a selfish part of you wished you could just go live in retirement with Technoblade and not worry about the new country forming, but you couldn’t ditch Tubbo. 
Running a hand through your hair you sighed loudly, one might wonder what exactly could Tubbo do to make you listen to Technoblade’s offer. Honestly, you had no idea if anything would make you do that unless of course they just started executing people or something ridiculous like that. 
Restless was how you’d describe the rest of your night, you tried to sleep but after a few hours of tossing and turning you gave up. You decided to make yourself a ‘healthy’ midnight snack, a small bowl of mac & cheese, you didn’t care, you were sad. You sighed softly scratching behind your cat’s ears, “It’s just you and me against the world Taffy isn’t it?” Her purrs rang in the air as she snuggled against your hand, distracting you just enough to swipe a noddle from your bowl. “You fat bitch!” You hissed as she ran off back up the stairs, you leaned back in your chair and sighed, literally nothing was going your way today. Just as you finished up your snack you heard a soft ping upon your window, turning to the sound you noticed your neighbor Phil awake in his house. He held up a hand and waved at you through it, and with a small smile, you waved back. He shuffled back into his home, I guess you both were insomniacs together, Techno knew how to pick a certain type of friend it seemed. 
You walked back up to your bedroom and slid under the covers once more, maybe you were wrong and things were going to get better. 
Months went by and nothing seemed to change much to your disappointment. Tubbo and you were still a little rocky, you had forgiven him for his harsh words but he always put Dream’s and even Quackity’s opinion before your own. When you came back from visiting Niki one day and saw wanted posters of Technoblade all around the country you almost had a stroke. You confronted Tubbo about it and only half answered you before running off when Quackity called him. That worried you, he normally didn’t like lying, especially not to you. 
The same day you were walking into the market to get some fresh fruit when a hand shot out from the wanted poster and pulled you behind it. You were held flush against someone’s chest who chuckled gruffly, you recognized that chuckle anywhere. “Techno! What’re you doing here?” You asked looking up at him with eyes filled with concern, “don’t you know you’re a wanted man?”
     “I think that just makes this all the more exciting.” Techno mused running his fingers through your hair, “Plus it’s not like anyone here can catch me.” 
     “Wrong I could catch you.” He dared to laugh in your face, 
     “Sure you could, and I’m half sheep.” Technoblade mused and he watched you huff cutely, “Don’t get all huffy at me you know I’m right.” You only waved him off, “seriously though I’m here to do some trading with Phil.”
     “Oh…” You gave a nod, “Will I see you more frequently then?”
     “You could see me all the time if you moved in with me.” Techno joked again and was surprised to see your face fall a little. Are you serious? Was he getting you to crack? “Starlight?” 
     “Ask me again in a few months and I might say yes,” You teased brushing the question off swiftly, Technoblade didn’t pry but he could tell you were almost convinced. Just what was going on in this country to make you want to leave your little brother? “Now shoo, go see Phil before he gives up on you.” You gave him a little shove and he stumbled off with a huff sticking his tongue out at you in the process. 
After that encounter, you didn’t run into Technoblade for another very long stretch of time. About a month or so after that encounter, Tubbo had shown up at your doorstep a complete nervous wreck. He begged you to help him, claiming he needed diamonds for an upcoming project and wanted you to acquire them for him. “Tubbo I don’t understand why I need to go on this trip? I have diamonds I can just give you. You know I don’t care.” 
     “But I feel bad about it,” Tubbo argued with you “please just do this for me.”
     “You know I’ll do anything for you. If you want me to get them this way I’ll do it. I should be back tonight is that okay? Do you need them sooner?” Tubbo looked relieved as he took your hands in his own, 
     “No tonight is perfect!” The boy chirped sounding more like himself than he has in months, you couldn’t help but smile. You ruffled his hair a little before kissing his forehead, 
     “Then tonight you shall have them, Little Ram.” 
Tubbo helped you gather the materials you needed for a trip down into the mines, Tubbo even gave you some fire resistance potions. You thanked him for the potions before putting on your armor and heading down into the tunnels. As you were down in the mine the concept of time was always an illusion, so when you finally found diamonds for Tubbo and you left the cave you were surprised to see the sun was just setting. You hummed softly to yourself walking back into New L’manburg excited to show off to Tubbo you couldn’t help but wonder what he needed them for in the first place. However, when you entered town you were greeted by a gathering going on at the center. Everyone seemed to be there clad in what looked to be butcher’s outfits, your vibe was immediately thrown off eyebrows furrowing in concern. Quackity was giving some sort of speech and that finally drew your eyes towards the podium, locked inside a cage was a fuming Technoblade. You rushed towards the group, pushing past Ghostbur and a blue sheep, and grabbed tightly onto Tubbo’s arm. 
     “Tubbo what the fuck is happening?” He tensed turning towards your face. It was no secret that you and Techno were friends, this wasn’t good at all.
     “(Y/n)! You’re back early!” He spoke nervously rubbing his hands together as Quackity turned towards you, 
     “Welcome back!” Quackity hopped off the podium with a smirk, “Fundy grab them.” 
     “Quackity hey wait a minute-” Tubbo started as Fundy roughly grabbed onto your arms pinning you in place, 
     “Ow hey! Watch it! Let go of me!”
     “Get your hands off them!” Technoblade snarled nostrils flaring grabbing the bars of the cage tightly. 
     “Quackity you said we’d leave them out of this!” Tubbo argued and your jaw dropped staring at Tubbo, “You promised!” 
He waved Tubbo off with a scoff, “they’re just as bad as Phil, Tubbo. She needs to be punished. We can't play favorites when trying to run a country. We’ll execute Techno then deal with the other traitors.”
     “Execute?” You choked, “you can’t be serious! Tubbo you cannot be serious, since when are you okay with public executions?” He refused to look at you, his hair covering his eyes, he only nodded his head in Quackity’s direction. 
     “Do it.” 
     “Tubbo!” You shrieked watching Quackity grin maliciously, moving over to pull the lever that would allow the anvil to fall and crush the man below it. 
What happened next was a cluster fuck, someone began trying to set off TNT, and Quackity pulled the lever. It fell rapidly towards Techno and he pulled something out of his pocket, in a flash of bright colors and bursts of light Technoblade was ripped apart and pulled back together again. He was alive, Technoblade really doesn’t ever die. He hopped on top of the anvil and jumped the bars of the cage, Fundy had long since lost his grip on you, he noticed Dream ushering him inside a cavern and he paused a moment. The hybrid turned towards you holding out his hand one final time, the world seemed to stop a moment and it was just you and him. His face held a desperate look in it, almost pleading you to take his hand within your own. You flashed back to the day Wilbur blew the country up, Tubbo called your name you glanced over your shoulder once towards Little Ram. You reached into your bag and dropped the diamonds you found for him on the ground, you grabbed Technoblade’s hand and squeezed it tightly. Technoblade smiled and yanked you forward, leaving a heartbroken Tubbo in your wake.
