Hello! i'm new to your blog, but I've stumbled across your Sins of the mother series, and I am in LOVE with the way you write Darkiplier! And so, if I may request a story of my own? A Darkiplier x reader where the reader is going to be moving from home soon and she hasn't told anyone. She's nervous abut how Dark will take it but tells him once she gathers the courage.

I don’t know when this request was placed, mainly because I feel off the map hard and can’t remember where I was, but here it is. I hope you enjoy it despite how long this request has been in my queue.

OVER THINKING

“So, when is the date?” You mother asks jokingly as you look at your calendar. Panicked you nearly rip your calendar off your wall. “Oh! Honey, I didn’t mean to startle you.” She chuckles walking forward to soothingly run her hand over your back.

Sighing you bring your heart rate down before addressing your mother. “It’s okay, I should have been paying more attention around me.”

Looking at your calendar your mother suspects something different is going on. “Is everything okay? You’re not...” Her voice drops to a whisper. “You’re not pregnant are you?”

Immediately you begin laughing at the question. “No! Of course not, Mom! I’m so not ready to have that kind of responsibility.” It’s humorous really. While you do enjoy the company of your nieces and nephews, both blood related and not, you are not jumping at the chance to join the ranks of their parents. Not to mention your boyfriend doesn’t really want children of his own either. It’s a perfect match for you.

“You don’t have to laugh that hard, Y/n!” Your mother grouses lightly smacking her hand against your shoulder. It sobers you up, but still you find her concern hilarious.

Sighing contently you explain that in no way are you pregnant, opting to give her a more plausible excuse. “I’m trying to plan a vacation to San Diego. It’s hard to find the right time for vacations and if I don’t plan far enough I won’t get the time off.” After a few more words with your mother about the best time to go to the sunny city she leaves you to your planning. Seeing her out the door you close and lock it for good measure.

In truth you didn’t completely lie to your mother. You are planning a trip to San Diego, just not for vacation. You have a job interview with a communications company that will pay for your schooling while employed. You haven’t informed anyone in your family of your plans, let alone Dark.

You met your boyfriend not long ago in a dark alley of all places. You’d gotten lost on your way to a bar to meet some friends in an unfamiliar city only to walk down the wrong alley. Dark never explained what he was doing exactly, just that he was tracking down a fugitive.

You gathered he was a bounty hunter of some kind, but he never dressed like one, Sometimes he’d show up outta the blue at your doorstep exhausted and in need of some peace and quiet; to which you offer in abundance.

Your stomach rolls at the thought of having to tell Dark you’re moving, but, you remind yourself, that is if you get the job offer. Looking through your calendar once again you log on to your computer and begin making your plans to visit San Diego.

“Miss L/n, we’d like to inform you of our official offer of employment.”

You’d been dreading and anticipating this call for nearly a month. Relief sweeps through your whole body like a cold wave of water. Spending somewhere between ten and fifteen minutes going over the finer details. They’re going to give you an upfront bonus to move your things to San Diego and to find a place to live while acclimating to the new city.

Shrieking happily you flop on you bed you kick your feet and clutch your phone to your chest. You already have a place in mind to live for a while at least. A few years back a close high school friend struck it rich with an invention of hers and owns a property fairly close to your new place of work. You don’t plan of buying a car but do plan to invest in a good bicycle for the time being. Your one trip to San Diego turned you off from having a car for quiet some time.

“You look happy.”

Jolting up you spy Dark standing in your doorway, lazily lounging against the frame. Smiling you jump off your bed, running right into his arms. “I got a job offer!” You tell him honestly. Dark knows you’ve been searching for a good paying job so you can move back out on your own.

Dark smiles. His hand running gently atop your head. “I’m so happy for you. I hope it’s from one of your top choices.”

Nodding you push your face into his chest squeezing him tightly. He doesn’t press you for any more answers, and you can’t bring yourself to tell him about the distance the move will put between you. Not long after you tell him, Dark is gone after a bounty he’s been looking for.

Wishing him good luck and placing a kiss to his cheek you bid him a goodbye and watch him go. Sighing sadly you wrap your arms around your chest and hug yourself. You know the distance will hurt your family, you’ve always been really close to one another, but to put hundreds of miles between a fairly new relationship is basically asking for a break up.

Going back to your room you lay face up, staring at the ceiling you stared at since childhood, wondering just how you can tell Dark. You can’t ask him to wait for you to come back; but you don’t want to give him up. And yet, there is a third option but you can’t take him away from his work.

Twiddling your thumbs you wait in alone in the now empty house. You parents had gone out to see a musical a town over and your younger brother is away for the weekend with his best friend leaving you alone, waiting for Dark. You’ve decided to finally tell Dark.

The days have ticked away and you’re nearly half way through your last month. Swallowing a large ball of saliva pooled in your mouth you hear a strong knock on the front door and hurry to answer it. Peeking out Dark stares back at you.

“Dark, welcome. Come in.” You greet happy and scared to see your lover. Unlike his usual artier of a tailored suite and dress shoes, he’s in casual clothing. Tailored faded blue jeans with a green button up and a black sports coat frame his figure, You do so love to see him all dressed up, but seeing him like this, relaxed and at ease makes your hormones go crazy.

Pausing Dark can see the turmoil in your eyes. It’s been driving him crazy these past few weeks, ever since your job offer, that something bad happened. Most things he can forgive; but he despises being lied too. Pausing just inside the door Dark grips you by the shoulders, placing a soft kiss to your lips, and asks, “Is there something we need to discuss?”

Taking a shaky breath you nod, eyes cast down at the ground guiltily. “Please, come to the living room.” Shutting the door you lead Dark to the living room and sit down on the couch. Patting the cushion next to you he sits.

“Y/n, you know I do not enjoy being made a fool of, what is happening?” He asks calmly. He won’t react unless he feels it necessary.

Taking a deep breath you look up into his eyes. “I... It’s probably something you’ll find really stupid, but I’ve been agonizing over telling you about the job and where it’s located.” You start watching Dark closely. “I haven’t even told my parents or siblings yet because I wanted to let you know first.”

“Where is your job at?” Dark asks, relieved it’s simply a geographical issue, and not an issue of mistrust or deception. He can work with you simply moving again. Unlike you he is not bound to any one place.

“It’s in San Diego. The trip I went on last month was for an interview. They offered me a job and I accepted. They’re one of the only places that will employ me and send me to school.” You explain watching closely for hurt or anger. You see nothing.

“I see, well, that’s excellent. I know you’ve been wanting to move away for quite sometime and pursue a better education. Had you asked, i would have gladly funded any school you wished to enroll in, not to mention cover the cost of living in that city.” Dark says calmly, matter-of-factly. It’s a little off putting.

“You’re not mad?” You ask hesitant to even ask the question.

He shakes his head “Of course not; what would make you think I would be?”

For the first time since the fear rose in your chest you really give his question a good long once over. Everything you’ve ever discussed with Dark, he’s been nothing but supportive and accommodating. He never told you not to apply to jobs far away, and never made any indication he’d be upset if you had to move away, nor that your relationship would end if you did move away.

“I just assumed...” looking at your hands you really have no reply. “I guess I assumed our relationship would suffer because of some of my friends. They moved away for school and relationships I looked up to broke apart within a few months.” You respond looking over at Dark.

He chuckles, amused by your words. “I mean no insult by my laughter, however they are not us. I am not bound to his place like you are. I can come and go as I please. Wherever you are I can be as well. I thought I explained that before?”

Blushing you look away. “I, uh, I completely forgot until now.” Looking back to Dark you smile shyly. “You don’t think I’m a worry wart now, do you?”

Chuckling again Dark cups your cheek with his hand. “Of course not. Just, next time, talk to be first before worrying yourself to death. There is very little we cannot simply talk through.” In his own way he’s teasing you, easing the pain in your heart to a dull throb of embarrassment.

Laughing you agree with him accepting his kiss. Pulling away you rest your forehead against his, eyes locked, and ask, “So, you wanna help me tell lmy parents?”

Immediately he shakes his head. “That’s one show I do not want a ticket for.” You both laugh, but there is a sense of comfort and peace in you.

“I can respect that.”

TAGGED BY @berestweys. thanks sweetheart!

I’m trying to write a fic and it is NOT HAPPENING so we’re gonna try disconnecting the brain via fun memes and see if it helps.

1. What is the colour of your hairbrush? I have two hairbrushes! the one I use when my hair is wet is kind of abstract with blue, pink, purple, and gold splotches on a black background. the one I use when my hair is dry is rose gold. (rose gold paint, that is. it’s not like...a solid gold hairbrush. Just to clarify.)

2. Name a food you never eat. meat! I’m vegetarian. also no thank you to mushrooms.

3. Are you typically too warm or too cold? this has changed in the last couple years and I can’t explain it. I used to always be too warm but for the last few years I’ve been cold just all the time. I spent all summer wearing sweaters.

4. What were you doing 45 minutes ago? searching for inspiration via chores. I cleaned the bathroom. it did not help.

5. What’s your favourite candy bar? lion bar

6. Have you ever been to a professional sports game? I....think so? I have very vague memories of potentially attending an Astros game when I was a kid? but the keyword here is vague. very possible that was just a dream. I certainly haven’t done so in recent memory.

7. What is the last thing you said out loud? "no, that doesn’t work.” (seriously, writing is hard.)

8. What is your favourite ice cream? mint chocolate chip!

9. What was the last thing you had to drink? water

10. Do you like your wallet? it’s very functional, so sure.

11. What is the last thing you ate? a piece of chocolate.

12. Did you buy any new clothes last weekend? nope.

13. What’s the last sporting event you watched? uhhhh...when the Astros won the world series a couple years ago, I watched the last game. so that. (not a big sports fan, y’all.)

14. What is your favourite flavour of popcorn? mostly just plain butter and salt. but I do love some caramel corn at Christmas.

15. Who is the last person you sent a text message to? my Lexi

16. Ever been camping? fun story: when I was a girl scout my troop leaders did not want to take us camping for real, so we were gonna set up tents in their backyards. except when the time came we were under air quality alerts. so instead we slept in sleeping bags on the troop leader’s living room floor. and that is the closest I ever got to camping.

17. Do you take vitamins? nope. (I should! but I don’t.)

18. Do you regularly attend a place of worship? not recently. I kind of fell out of the habit after I moved to Louisiana last summer because the priests at the closest church are just....very boring. which is awful, but true. I dozed off during the first couple homilies at the masses I attended and eventually I just stopped going. I made a resolution as part of my Lenten observation to attend weekly mass again and did really well at first! but then, you know. COVID.

19. Do you have a tan? I do not.

20. Do you prefer chinese or pizza? pizza, definitely.

21. Do you drink your soda through a straw? only when it comes from a restaurant.

22. What colour socks do you usually wear? I have a whole bunch of different socks in varying shades of gold, grey, green, blue...they’re these socks, if anyone’s in the market. (#notspon) very warm and comfy, although I go through them pretty fast. I expect this is because I just wash ‘em regularly instead of following the detailed care instructions. (because who has time?)

23. Do you ever drive above the speed limit? everyone around here drives 5 miles above the speed limit. I do the same to keep with the flow of traffic.

24. What terrifies you? driving into water and being trapped. I’ve been having nightmares about it since before I could even drive.

25. Look to your left, what do you see? my phones.

26. What chore do you hate most? literally any kind of cleaning. why can’t things clean themselves. why does the floor need to be mopped so often. WHERE DOES ALL THIS DUST COME FROM.

27. What do you think of when you hear an Australian accent? that old Monty Python sketch where everyone is named Bruce.

28. What’s your favourite soda? diet coke

29. Do you go in a fast food place or just hit the drive thru? drive thru.

31. Who’s the last person you talked to? ……like via phone/in person? my parents on the phone.

32. Favourite meat? none. don’t eat it.

33. Last song you listened to? hark the herald angels sing by pentatonix. got my Christmas playlist going.

34. Last book you read? I’ve been working on an autobiography of a stewardess on the Titanic for like....six months. It’s not a difficult or even particularly long read, I just keep not picking it up. I read half of it in a week and then haven’t touched it since like...September.

35. Favourite day of the week? Sunday.

42. Describe your kitchen plates. white with a blue pattern of leaves and hearts around the edges.

43. Describe your kitchen at the moment. my stove is in desperate need of cleaning. I heated up some tofu cubes the other night that sent tiny fragments flying everywhere, and when I ran a damp towel over the stove to collect the fragments, it came back soooooo gross. so that needs a real scrubbing.

44. Do you have a favourite alcoholic drink? nope, don’t drink.

45. Do you play cards? when I was a kid, all the time. these days, not so much.

46. What colour is your car? white

47. Can you change a tyre? theoretically, yes, but I’ve never done it in practice.

48. Your favourite state or province? Texas is where the HEBs are. I miss HEB. so we’ll go with Texas.

49. Favourite job you’ve had? my current job is pretty great!
