#the gag is i totally was LMAOO

[farfetchdquest]

oh my god i just got "we saw you across the classroom and liked your vibe" by my classmate and then she asked me if i was watching dan and phil before class??? 😭😭😭

[oh-three]

Skeleton Crew S1E5:

THE PARENTS ARE SCHEMING. Love it.

Wendle doing the thing with his hands lmaooo

Thank god for Fern's mom.

Fern's relationship with Silvo is funny af.

Love how they tied SM-33 down, with rope, as if it'll actually hold him down if he decides to attack them again.

Well, obvious Captain Rennod made it to At Attin. Didn't live long after, though. Based on the skeletons aboard.

LMAO, I knew SM-33 could totally just break free. The looks on their faces 🤣

So, they literally died hitting At Attin, that's funny af.

SM-33 is so happy lmao

Think Wim's a little homesick.

The way Silvo kept trying to walk away, gave up, and sat down next to him. He's not giving great advice, though. Forgetting his parents is terrible advice.

Oh, sweet summer child, Jedi aren't the only people who can use the Force.

Lanupa. Not At Attin lol.

Omg, the ship is in terrible shape.

Wim looks like Davy Jones haha. "This is Skull Ridge Mountain? They ruined it!" Hate to break it to you, SM-33, but that happens with everything.

She really just ignored SM-33 outrageically trying to grab her by the shoulders lol.

Dash Zentin

Finally, someone calling him out on one of his false names.

Pokkit's gonna be a problem lol.

Queue Silvo panicking.

"You take the Sensory Gymnasium, Professor Gorelox." Lmao. Deserved.

Silvo's at the end of his rope.

A HUTT.

"Just act like you belong," vs "Run!" two seconds later is peak comedy.

Dash Zentin, Crimson Jack, Mad Captain Silvo, Jodwick Zank, Jod Na Nawood, the list keeps growing haha. It's a running gag at this point.

KB is fucking amazing.

They really went and told this guy all about their adventures thus far, and it's so funny. Cthallops is kinda amusing, actually.

Oop. Company's arrived.

Fern really just said "another fake name," not knowing for sure whether or not Jod is his real name. At this point, I'm starting to think so, but I won't be surprised if it's not.

Damn, Rennod had a whole tomb down there. Definitely more tomby than lair-like.

Hey, a lightsaber!

"Refill that chamber with acid." 💀

I hate how smart that was. Silvo really just had him commit mass murder against that crew.

Lmaoo, the treasure's a mint.

He's aboutta betray them.

Jod. Buddy. Chill out.

The way the kids are actually betrayed despite telling themselves not to trust him. 😭

Wim, the lightsaber was upside-down…

WIM. Jesus Christ.

Great, now Silvo has the lightsaber.

SM-33 obviously has a loyalty to the kids. Couldn't he just…not listen to Silvo???

[animation-is-my-jam]

I love your Tobecky family! But Tobey’s genes didn’t even try LMAOO 😭

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHSHSHSHSHSHSHSHSHS (IM DYING NOOSOSOSK) FINALLY SOMEONE CALLS ME OUT, BUT YEAH, THAT'S INTENTIONAL.

That's the charm of the tobecky family, like I'm sorry, but my favorite gag that I have is a lot of people not believing the kids when they say Tobey is their father since that's the parent reveal most other characters know about. But don't worry, there's a lore reason for this!! Lexiconian genes are hella strong (think freaking goku in Dragon Ball with his kids khhgfgjs), so it makes sense that the kids would inherit more of Becky's side of her Lexiconian family. But, even though it doesn't seem like there's no McCallister in them, it's pretty subtle to know that they sure are his kids, especially when they all need to wear glasses (even Luis and a young Tori but they refused). The smoking gun is, of course, the cowlick they all have, and when they scowl or make faces, that's total Tobey coming through with his generational sass. I'm actually thinking about updating Matilda's design a bit, and with her, I think it's more obvious that she's more McCallister.

Is there a meta reason why they are like this? Yes, actually! ---

One of the reasons is the melanin, I can't help but increase it, we all know this, both because it's easier to color in and pleasing with the colors and designs I like to use, and yes, also out of pure spite for fandoms complaining on such things.

There's a meme about how a lot of people's first drawings of their ocs are pale as hell (mine too), but when you learn more about character design they reflect a lot more on your chance to diversify especially if you're POC yourself and want to reflect that with your ocs.

And it's not strange that they aren't exactly perfect combinations of Tobey and Becky. Mixed kids are very diverse, and it's probable to look more like one parent than the other, even with the Lexiconian lore reason, irl that's the case, and I like to represent that. Also with other genetic traits, this is the case with my family, like all three of us (me and my siblings) look nothing like our mom and we got dad's side of the family in our faces khnkhgs, to me i look a lot like my grandma.

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for the ask I really appreciate that and it really makes me so happy to know people love my Tobecky ideas both from Canon ideas and from my AU stories, especially the latter since it's what I'm most passionate about.

This was so funny to get on my inbox. You made my day!! (Also, I don't think I posted this anywhere on tumblr, but take this two-year ago joke I made about this, yall earned it.

(!!Old!! art comic thing?)

[tdlosk-confessions]

I love the little references to other anime/real people/etc that the series has but I'm a little sad that most of them get lost in translation... The first time I watched Saiki so many gags went right over my head that when I rewatched it this year it was a completely different experience lol I think one of my favourites is in the festival part where Toritsuka wanted to make a band, and when Saiki made all the band members hallucinate that they were playing super well, they went 'Wow, Toritsuka sounds just like Natsuki Hanae!!' because he's... well. Voiced by Natsuki Hanae. 💀 Another one I find funny is when Toritsuka (Why is it always him...?) Is checking people's guardian's spirits and Hairo's is Matsuoka Shuzo, who you might recognize from the viral video of him harvesting clams while telling the viewer to never give up (If you don't, then look it up. Everything will make sense.)

[Confession 149]

Agreed, so many good jokes lost to translation :')

I love the nods they do to real life, and I love that they nodded to Toritsukas voice actor too lmaoo

Was it this clip for the second one? (sorry for no audio lol)

Cause yeah, I can totally see how Hairo's spirit guide would be Matsuoka Shuzo just by seeing this clip lol

[freedjustinemywife]

Considering how the Raijinshuu has been constantly and consistently mistreated in the anime and 100yq (and the original manga, to an extend, but not so bad), it's not hard to believe they would be killed off.

It also wouldn't be the first time Fairy Tail pulled the "group of characters are beaten halfway to death for the emotional distress of another character, just so that said character can get a momentary rage-powerup and defeat an enemy that, in hindsight, was quite inconsequential to the plot and even the development of the distressed character", so...

It wasn't fun (although it was an elaborate prank). But the pages are quite well drawn, specially the panel of Bickslow imo. Hope you draw more (in general, not just the fake leaks) someday.

OH 100% its genuinely a stupid joke that i didnt realise was unfortunately so believable until people actually believed it, the treatment of side characters in fairy tail is AWFUL theyre either completely neglected, used as a cheap gag or just serve to further another characters story

i could make a whole nother post about how the raijin tribe specifically have been mistreated in canon, from having their powers scaled down to make them weaker, their personalities watered down to turn them into cheap gag characters, the list goes on frankly and dont even get me STARTED on the anime filler episodes mischaracterising them and what not. or even the more recent manga bits (and i think abt lobotomised freed and i shudder)

so yeah sad truth is the writers uhh do not care about them, but the fandom does so who needs them!!

also once again sorry to anyone i upset, if i had planned this to be a prank i wouldve done in on april fools i totally didnt expect the post to leave my circle of people already in on the joke 😭

also thank you!! i absolutely plan to draw them all again ive been doing it for years and i dont plan to stop jsjsj i just need to find the time (also people keep complimenting the bixslow art and uhh i feel the need to tell everyone that is the only traced panel, taken directly from the gaiden lmaoo my lack of experience is showing,,)

[homoautoerotic]

Young, naive, 20 year old Daniel not taking Armand seriously when he says if Daniel misbehaves then he’ll put him over his knee because it’s never happened before.

Young, naive, 20 year old Daniel bound and gagged and being made to ride Armand with all his energy with a crimson ass.

lmaoo see I try to go off of the book timeline until otherwise proven (so them probably only having sex around '76 or '77 when Daniel would be mid 20s), but the more time I spend in the fandom the more I'm coming around to the idea of them fucking mere months, if not weeks, after their initial torture sesh. anyways

yeah Daniel rolling his eyes and saying "or what, you'll spank me?" as a joke when Armand calls him out on being a little shit and Armand looks at him all dead serious and says "yes" and Daniel instantly gets hard/wet (depending on personal headcanon). Armand tips him over his lap and pulls down Daniel's pants and underwear and spreads his legs so Daniel's all exposed and he can't hide his arousal. Armand making it a condition that he'll stop spanking Daniel when Daniel begs to be fucked instead and Daniel tries to hold off as long as possible because he doesn't want to admit to being so affected by this but in like 5 minutes his ass is already blood red from the force behind Armand's swings and he's totally seriously begging to be fucked because he'll Explode if he doesn't get a dick in him. anyway Armand fucks him and Daniel comes untouched from having his own red ass repeatedly slammed down onto Armand when it's still all sore

🫣: Who stumbled the most with their feelings around the other? How much did the other person notice?

AND

🦀: How did they handle realizing they were in love? Embarrassed? Nervous? Mad?

FOR JESTER X RIDDLE

OMGOMG RIDDLE X JESTER MENTIONED !! YIPPEE!!

Questions are from this post!! ♡

🫣: Who stumbled the most with their feelings around the other? How much did the other person notice?

Ooh, I’d say Riddle! Jester has been sure of her feelings for Riddle for a loong time. So once he actually realizes his own feelings for Jester, hes a total mess!

For one thing, shes the absolute opposite of everything he’s stood for. She breaks as many rules as she can on purpose, she slacks off and doesnt take anything seriously— but for some reason, he fell for her..?!

Its not like he doesn’t think shes a good person! Maybe its just he never thought of someone like her being the one he catches feelings for. So! With his traditional views of courting, he struggles to initiate it. Often backing out last minute, and stumbling on his words. (Hes convinced Jester will make fun of him. He has no idea she is HEAD OVER HEELS for him, and has been for the longest time!)

Jester actually doesn’t notice this too much. She definetly knows something is up, but doesn’t pry since whenever she does try to ask he changes the subject. She doesn’t want to make him uncomfortable— so she just lets him be.

🦀: How did they handle realizing they were in love? Embarrassed? Nervous? Mad?

In Jester’s situation, it was somewhat a love at first sight situation. She just broke a whole lotta rules and was running down the halls, escaping some teachers when all of then sudden she feels something heavy around her neck! When she looks up after crashing to the ground, she saw Riddle with such a firey, stern gaze. And it just made her heart swoon.

She brushed it off as her being curious about him, rationalized her following him around as her wanting to “see how far she can go” before he gets mad. But at some point she does realize that it isnt just curiosity that draws her to Riddle.

She was rather calm about it. Accepting it almost immediately. “Oh, I really like him.”

Jester isn’t and has never been shy about showing her feelings towards Riddle! Everyone else thinks its just another one of her gags, “sarcastically” proclaiming her love to him infront of everyone. (They’re all under the impression they’re enemies and absolutely hate eachother LMAOO)

She isnt bothered one bit about her feelings towards Riddle! In fact, shes proud of it! Even if he doesn’t feel the same way… She’ll always be his #1 fan.

..Riddle, on the other hand, is an entirely different story. A rollercoaster of emotions when he finally realizes why he feels the way he does whenever Jester is around. Confusion, nervousness, anger— all of it! Because, like I said, shes the polar opposite of him. Shes eccentric, unpredictable and impulsive, the human embodiment of oddity— yet he cant help but love her. Almost like a cruel trick the universe has played on him, he thinks.

If it took him long to even realize his feelings for Jester, it took him even longer to accept those feelings.

They both think their feelings are unrequited, theyre so dumb..

[fushitoru]

geto is SUCH a little SHIT 🤭🤭🤭🤭 made me giggle damn satoru panicking like crazy was so funny lmaoo i could hear the sirens going off in his head 😂 and miss itadori showing her intellect yeeees girl have political opinions 💯💯💯💯🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️ i was gagged that toji was there though but i love how amused he was with miss itadoris wit and sharp mind!!! also love how he shared some wisdom on gojo hehehe got her thinking toooooo hehehe we are getting there babes 😈😈😈😈

PLEASE gojo has been so...composed and cocky this whole season but now he's been going CRAZYYY and is totally not in control. it's such a weird thing to write LOL

and YES miss itadori an educated baddieeeeeeee. toji is like a wise old man giving out advice on gojo it's kinda silly. but WE ARE GETTING THERE IT'S ONLY A FEW MORE CHAPTERSSS

[fangsandsoftgrass]

OUGHH sorry for being so boring & inactive lately a LOT has been happening and also I've been just kinda generally burnt out. ANYWAY WHAT I CAME HERE TO SAY WAS I'm grinding the golden pursuits for that costume bc the original is one of my favs for Cirwedh. I've always pretended that the Elven Hero from the cinematic shit and in-game stuff is Cirwedh instead of a nameless Altmer (though Cirwedh honestly is nameless to the vast majority of people)

So now that I've just gotten the courtyard statue, I'm putting it in her home in the Isles and pretending it's a statue of her LMAO. Ayrenn has always been one for gifting her ridiculous things before as a gag while simultaneously showing appreciation for all Cirwedh does as her Eye and for the people in general. When they first met Cirwedh didn't understand Ayrenns distaste for being a royal and the attention it drew, but now that she's a prominent face herself she totally understands and wishes she didn't get the attention she does now LMAOO. I think that's part of the reason Ayrenn does the things she does, like giving Cirwedh a seaside villa in the Isles, or an enchanted statue of herself made to be a magical hero. It's a poke at Cirwedh's avoidance of the title hero and the meaning she holds.

[suckishima]

haikyuu rewatch s01e04

it wont seem like it when this posts but ive been away for over a week and havent watched anything since then so im excited to get back to it

"the view from the summit" woooo

oh yeah this is the episode that starts with the quote, and i think the manga has it too? interesting, tbh this still feels a bit like furudate finding their footing in terms of how they wanna go about storytelling. i dont dislike putting the quote in at all, but the sentiment of it (that the six is stronger than the one and how a player feeling special is done for in volleyball) is shown really solidly throughout the series and in general i feel like the show is at its best when the narrative is speaking for itself, so i guess i just dont totally find the quote necessary

ooo i do like how it leads directly into kageyama's pov on his middle school moment tho. that does work pretty well

okay the fact that he literally has nightmares about it too waah

idk if we're supposed to interpret kageyama ignoring hinata while he talks about how pretty shimizu is and whether shes their manager as him being stressed about the upcoming match or just him not giving two shits about whether people are attractive or not (both of which have a fair amount of other evidence imo), and it's probably the former but i think its more fun if i imagine it's both lol

the running gag of tanaka's ear getting big whenever people talk about him ashakjs iirc one of his trivia things on the wiki is 'has really good hearing' or something lmaoo

i know im tsukishima & yamaguchi brained at all times and im super conscious about not over talking about them, but so many questions and curiosities about their dynamic at this point in the story. tsukki is trash talking and yamaguchi is like worried about it?? worried that tsukki wont make friends? or worried tsukki will get in trouble?? either way he seems surprised tsukki is doing it at all, so has he not been doing this often??? that seems odd to me too, especially when last episide yamaguchi was smirking when tsukki was talking down to kageyama. tbhhh its probably just the worried about getting in trouble thing? that (and again, furudate still finding footing about characterization) makes the most sense to me i guess

hinata: "beh!!!"

kono imagination o kakaete !!

lmao tanaka shirt lasso

shimizu seeing hinata jumpppp it never gets old seeing people react to him for the first time lol

yamaguchi standard standing float serve directly into the net and tsukki scoffing in annoyance, ohhhh how far we eventually go :') im fine

really interesting how in kageyama's flashback we see kindaichi yell and tell kageyama his tosses are reckless and whats the point if they cant even spike them, and then internally kageyama is like 'but we can't win if we can't get past their blockers.' his initial reaction is actually about the team and not about his teammates sucking at all, but then he starts to spiral thinking about losing, about not being able to play anymore, about this ending (screams in manga spoilers) and so what he actually says to kindaichi is the infamous 'move faster jump higher!' and obviously they all get offended by that. but the characterization is what's so cool to me there, his main issue here is his lack of communication—how differently would his teammates have reacted if he had just expressed the bit about not being able to get past them? and then much later in the series when he's feeling similarly trapped he does the same thing, he stops talking—except now hinata calls him out for being quiet, and they can right things again (iirc this is in seijoh 1), and i just. the attention to detail to characterization is so good!! the character threads are so consistent!!

aaaaand yeah here's hinata stating his facts. ive essentially made this post before but yeah 'hinata whose grateful for literally any toss plus kageyama terrified of his tosses being ignored equals narrative soulmates'

AAAAAAND tsukki is being a dick about it—but what he says here too says a lot about him as well. 'so straight forward and pure. how irritating' damn how was i not fascinated by these dynamics right off the bat lmao, he clocks hinata exactly and hinata's just done a positive thing, so why doesn't tsukki like it? i simply was too naive have enough faith in the show yet to think these threads would be followed up on lol

holyyyy FUCK the 'i'm here' with hinata in kageyama's eyeball with the same framing as the ignored set from middle school rraaahhh it's ART

"i'm going to do battle with this body, win and win, and be on the court as long as i can" excuse me while i go sob..

the little sound affect when kageyama does the tiny finger point bc they dont have signals yet is so funny lol

god suga is so cool. i hope kageyama thanks him in his ghostwritten memoir, so much of kageyama's eventual success is bc of him and its so coooooooool

ooohoooooo the pinpointtt

and tsukki's acting like reality itself was shattered ahasjas to him it basically was lmao

waaah kageyama is having funnnnn when was the last time he had fun playing volleyball rrraaaaAAAAHHHH furudate ily

ITS A VIEW I COULD NEVER SEE ON MY OWN AAAAAAHHHH

its been four episodes and we're already starting to see this come to fruition—and yet it only keeps getting better!! this show is insane

[literalite]

9, 15, 27, 54 meow meow meow (kris :3) !!!!

9. do they give tough love or gentle love most often? which do they prefer to receive?

i dont think at this stage of life he's ever expressed any tough love in his life DFGHJKL criticism even for someone else's own good is not familar to him at all. ironically though he prefers things being given to him as straight and sugarless as possible- the nicer something is said to him, the more likely he'll take it as harsh complaint

15. what’s the most obvious difference between their behavior at home, at work, at school, with friends, and when they’re alone?

i think given the proximity of all of these things (you don't get a lot of distance between home, school, and friends when the commune you've lived in your whole life is 50-100 people and less then a quarter of them are roughly your age demographic) he's really reserved in all fronts, just slightly less so among friends

27. what’s the worst gift they ever received? how did they respond?

dude to be totally honest i cant think of what exactly the gift would have been but it probably came from lily. it was probably meant as a gag gift. it was probably purple. he definitely stared at it for a beat too long with a very baffled expression but i think overall it got delegated to a funny anecdote

54. what’s their instinct in a fight / flight / freeze / fawn situation?

had to google the last one and its definitely fawn LMAOO acquiescing to the opinions of others is his immediate go to in a stressful situation at this point in time

[kamiversee]

Oh my god this chapter was amazing!! I cannot express how much I loved it! I myself loveeee drama so it was toooo goood ^.^ And the fact that the READER outed herself?! I totally expected it to be geto especially cause he’s just messy in general(hes so me). But I don’t really blame her that much and in my opinion, it’s good that she reacted like that! Atleast she told Choso the truth about that part so he wouldnt have to find out later and be more upset.

We all know Choso hates liars as well so it’s good that she told him that(there’s still so many secrets she needs to tell him but it’s a start!) And I LOVE how Geto and Yuki are just sitting there watching them like if it was a movie. Their little comments not making things any better is so hilarious too😹.

I also didn’t really like the way Choso was speaking to her before he found out about Sukuna so that’s another reason why I’m glad she stood up to him(even if she did blurt out that she fucked his older abusive brother😭).

Talking about abusive older brother..SUKUNA? Oh my god I did not expect him to be like that😞 Especially since he’s been so different towards us. When Choso told the reader what sukuna did, my jaw dropped. I had to put down the phone multiple times throughout the chapter too because of the awkward heavy tension🌚

Choso really did have a reason to walk out and get upset if what he said about Sukuna is true butt, the reader told him multiple times that she didn’t know what kind of person Sukuna was before they fucked so I feel like Choso, being the very understanding person he is, he’s going to listen to her and understand where she’s coming from next chapter. Andd if he doesn’t, i will sob and hunt him down😣(also geto basically planning all of this? jsjsjsk i love him). BUT CHOSO CANT BE MAD PLS..my heart can’t handle any more angst.😥

Anyways that cliffhanger really did get to me and I stayed up thinking about it. I need Choso to forgive herrr. Can’t wait for the next chapter Kami! As always I love every chapter you write, you really are so talented>.<

-🥹

YAP SESSION RAHH;

1. Yup, it was in her best interest to but her info out there herself rather than tht come out any other way ^.^

2. IKR? We love Suguru & Yuki chillin on the side just watching everything go down😹

3. Choso was feeling more on edge tht entire chapter in comparisons to the other times we see him so his snappy responses are because of tht, we might dive deeper into this in the next chapter tho ^.^

4. LMAOO IKR? It was meant to have y’all GAGGED😝 But hey, m-maybe Sukuna is a changed man🥹☝️

5. Oh… you can’t handle any more angst you say?😏 WELL THTS TOO DAMN BAD, THE NEXT CHAPTERS ABT TO BE 10x WORSE MUHAHAHAHA

6. ILYSM FOR READING & THE ANGST YOU WROTE IS STILL PLAGUING MY THOUGHTS!!

[twentyfivemiceinatrenchcoat]

hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ari<33 how was your day? how is it going? tell me tell me!! MY QUESTION IS what movies would be your movies with gojo n geto n shoko?? like something you're both always down to watch

i just thought about this bc i put jackass on for background noise (a totally normal thing to do i know) and i realized that jackass would absolutely be something me n gojo would bond over lmao i think he'd find it so funny and he'd react to everything sooo dramatically like he's crawling backwards over the couch he's gagging he's crying he's laughing and he will most definitely wanna fucking try some of the stunts............................ he's stupid and i love him

- @softgirlgonehaywire

MICKEY !!!!!!!! hihihi!!!!!!!!! so happy to see u here hehe. my day was good!!! 🌻🌻🌻 im trying to take advantage of my uni break to read and write a bunch!!! which is super fun :D i wanna check out more of ur stuff sometime soon too !!!!

what abt u mickey?? did u do anything fun??? i hope ur day was (or is!!) super duper lovely <33

AAAA AND. thats the cutest question ever im losing it im biting at the walls tysm for indulging my sashisu obsession….. this got long u have been warned ‼️

FIRST OF ALL i just wanna say i havent watched jackass so i cant comment as much as i want to 😔😔😔 bUT i trust u and agree w everything u say yep yep !!!! AND i 100% agree that gojo would do movie stunts w u THATS SO CUTE 😭😭 he would do the most complicated dangerous stunt just to impress u <333 and then break his ankle. and force u to nurse him back to health it was on purpose :/

ahhh but!!!! honestly mickey i dont watch as many movies as id like to……. (PLS GIVE ME RECS 🙏🙏🙏) i have some faves and genres that i love tho!! so here r just some general thoughts :3

gojo is canonically down to watch basically anything so i feel like we would hunt down the most awful/low quality/unintentionally hilarious movies we can n just lose it laughing. ALSO…. im not super into reality tv but i think gojo would LOVE that shit. obsessed w it. i would watch his silly little reality tv shows just to make him happy <333 i feel like he would have genuine beef w people on the show too PHDKDJD LIKE DAMN IS IT REALLY THAT SERIOUS… but it is. he’s out for blood.

….. also this is me being self indulgent lets be clear but: some part of me thinks gojo would love musicals <33 its the would-be theatre kid in him. i love and cherish the legally blonde musical and i know he would too. he sings along obnoxiously loud which would be super funny if he was tone deaf but sadly he has a beautiful voice LMAOO

NOW as for shoko …… she loves horror movies. loves them loves them. i think she’d actually prefer really bad horror movies though. bc she thinks the over-the-top effects are so funny… either way im suffering bc im a scaredy cat LOL. but i feel like she’d like that too <33 (i would cry and she would comfort me by explaining how splattered brains ACTUALLY look and that would make me cry more)

AH ALSO … i have literally no idea where this came from and its not a movie but!! i think shoko would be unreasonably obsessed w the office. its her hyperfixation. we would binge it together all the time <33 my favorite is michael but she would compare him to gojo (objectively correct comparison) and i would no longer be able to see him the same way

and then for sugu…….. he’s so pretentious mickey. i just know he is. ONLY watches good movies. if u ask nicely he’ll watch a bad movie w u but will silently judge it + ur taste the whole time i hate him. (i dont.) idk i just feel like he has way too much to say abt fight club and the godfather PSBDJBF TELL ME U SEE THE VISION…. will lowkey mainsplain them to u but its sugu so i think its fine <33

but jokes aside i think sugu just has Good taste. beyond the mainstream toxic man movies (and even w those i think he has genuinely good and interesting takes he’s simply Perfect)… i feel like he has a wide selection of lesser known movies that are actually really really good and he shares them w u <3 and gatekeeps them from everyone else im thinking like old monochrome french movies w really interesting plots …. indie gems …. etc etc.

but as i said im not knowledgeable abt movies at ALL so i think id just have to trust his taste n watch them w him 😭😭 i cant decide if he’s the type to pause the movie every two minutes to explain something or give u side eye if u talk while its playing PDBDJDJ EITHER WAY… i love him.

OH BUT BUT BUT …. i think sugu would love mystery movies a lot!!! and they r my favorites ever ever ever. i love knives out & the 2009 sherlock holmes movies so i would force him to watch them w me. thankfully theyre super good so we’d both be happy :) yeah.

if u pay attention while reading u can tell the exact moment i started getting carried away i think PDBDJD THIS WAS SUCH A GOOD QUESTION MICKEY ….. so fun to think abt. if u have any more thoughts on what u and gojo would watch PLS tell me i am itching to know 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[haedgaf]

OKAY like this is probably the best execution of enemies to lovers done in a fic i’ve read omfg 😭 non of that “oh you’re so annoying haha” type of shit this was straight “dickhead i fucking hate you so much” enemies and that’s EXACTLY what i expect from a story that has the e2l genre.

jaemin was an actual dickhead like holy shit but i’m so attracted to him that all the shitty things he did made me fold negl 😖 if this was real life tho i would actually be so turned off but this is fiction and jaemin is fucking hot and i knew he was going to end up with the reader anyways so WHO GAF!! blonde jaemin like you wanted us to DIE you’re not slick author…

okay the plot. i love the clear power dynamic in the story 😭 i LOVED how it started of with the sentence that jaemin was on top of the world and how it ended with him being on top of the world because of her like that’s so cute. the relationship progress was so nice?? like it felt so natural and not rushed in any sense like they weren’t intimate until like at the end of the story it’s cute. but yeah the power dynamic, i love how jaemin has such a huge ego and expects everything to be given to him because he was basically born and treated with a silver spoon in his mouth (?) so having the reader be the total opposite of that and not submit but also submit to him and throw him off was so fun to read. i felt so bad for the reader whenever jaemin was being a totally dickhead like she is too nice for her own good but it also had its purpose as it taught jaemin to realise that not everyone will fear him just because of his power. their first encounter had me GAGGED especially that part where he was like “apologise” and she did and they kept going back and forth and he was just so confused like that was SO GOOD YOU DONT GET IT..

my favourite scene was that car ride scene in the rain tho like not only did he feel guilt for the first time, not only did he see her in the rain and make the own decision to take her into his car, not only did he decide to sacrifice his own uniform for her because she was drenched, not only did he apologise for being a shitty person and encourage her to yell at him even tho she didn’t, BUT HE LITERALLY MADE SURE SHE TOOK A SHOWER SO SHE WOULD NOT GET SICK AND BROUGHT HER STUFF THE NEXT DAY… like that whole scene was SO 🦋🦋🦋 my stomach did flips i’m not even gonna lie… it was basically them confirming that they give a fuck about each other which is so 😖😖 like that was probably one of my FAVOURITE dialogues in a fanfiction 😭 so props to that

THE FUCKING SWIMMING POOL SCENE LIKE WHAT HAPPENED TO THE JAEMIN WE KNEW??? the sudden flirting and the way he was so down bad like it’s actually so unserious STAND UP! actually no like the reader needs to be treated like the queen she is actually… but that was so hot like him pulling her into the swimming pool and the sudden kiss maybe i’m the one down bad..

10/10 fic, ACTUALLY probably the best jaemin fic on this i’m not even kidding you 😭 i feel like you’re probably not gonna read this lmaoo but i enjoyed this story so much it was just so well written 😖😞 I LOVE YEW JAEMIN!

top of the world [na jaemin]

SUMMARY | things had always been the same in the world of na jaemin— him sitting on a throne above everyone else. that was the natural order. but the world as jaemin knew it began to shake after a few fated encounters with someone at the bottom of the food chain. PAIRING | rich kid! na jaemin x female! reader GENRE | private school! au, one sided e2l lmao, a dash of fake dating, romance, heavily suggestive themes, lots and lots of sexual tension and power dynamics HSFJHF WARNINGS | bullying (lots of it), public humiliation, mildly nsfw, borderline smut, implied smut, swearing, jaemin being a literal asshole, this fic might not be for everyone JSFDH so if you’re uncomfortable please look away <33 also please tell me if i missed anything thank you WORD COUNT | 15.6k TAGLIST | @capablemork8299 @grungiejaems @bat-shark-repellant @radiorenjun @patchi-chi @perfchimchim @junglekooks @jjongsmystar @yourmagnanimousholiness @jjikyuu @lavender-rain @lilycrystalll @ovelha-colorida-v @jenoji @goldenclosethobi  @jimjamjaemin​ @yoongischeeksluv​ @lvingjaem @danishmiilk @softietaeyong @victorriasworld @miyrisa @justineasian @fullsuhnshine @sehunniepot @neoct-zen @dreamlesswonder86 @netwrkluv @blu-blooded

a/n: FIRST OF ALL i’m very very sorry this took so long to finish ; - ; but it’s here now so!! yeah!! to be honest, there’s no actual plot because once again this stemmed from my desire to be stepped on by a na jaemin <33 that being said, please don’t picture this as our angel nana and instead the devil that was na jaemin during the make a wish promotions, enjoy

Na Jaemin was on top of the world.

He had everything at his disposal— diamond rings, designer jackets, and a line of people bending themselves backwards just to appease him. His future was already secured; laid down on his feet and all he had to do was walk. It was everyone’s dream to have both a pretty face and zeroes that seemed to have no end. Jaemin knew well of that.

Perhaps that was why he had an ego that reached the skies.

Na Jaemin was on top of the world, and everyone else belonged underneath his feet.

As they should be. The blonde boy hummed to himself as he walked down the halls of Neo Academy, people making way for him as he passed by. It was amusing to Jaemin, the familiar glint of fear in their eyes as they scurried to move away, refusing to meet his gaze because they knew that one stray glance will have them pressed face down on the floor by his leather Testoni’s. Jaemin smiled, satisfied, because it was the fear that gave him power.

2 years later

Hawkins, 1987

Sunlight peeks through the blue curtains in the large bedroom, the sound of cars driving through the streets fills the silence in the apartment, the smell of paint, fresh bed sheets and the vanilla candle that was lit for the first time last night, all mingle together. Both opened and unopened boxes are all across the room. Most of the clothes – jackets, sweaters and flannels are already in the closet. The dressers are decorated with books, pictures and a lone mug that was forgotten yesterday morning. A diary and a new lamp are decorating the bedside table. 

Silent tiptoes echo against the hardwood floor before they disappear again and reappear on his thick blanket, the faintest purr and the softness against his skin pulls him out of his deep sleep. 

A smile tugs at his lips when the little ball of fur snuggles against his bare chest. 

“Hey there… Cat,” Steve mumbles, groggily. 

The black kitten meows at him. 

“Yeah, yeah,” he murmurs, opening his tired eyes. “You’ll get a cool name soon, don’t worry, dude.”

He strokes his back, gently. Smiling when he starts to purr as he moves closer to him. 

A yawn falls from Steve’s lips, he runs his fingers through his hair, he looks over at the clock. He raises his eyebrows in surprise, it’s 6:46am. 

“Look at you, I don’t even need an alarm anymore,” he mumbles. 

Cat meows at him, standing up on all paws, he suddenly digs his nails into his chest as he stretches. 

“Ow!.. Yeah, no, we don’t do that on humans, buddy,” he mumbles as he picks him up, giving him a kiss on the head, before he puts him down on his pillow. 

Steve throws the covers off himself, stretching his arms out before he gets up and walks over to the window, he opens the curtains and takes a look outside before he walks over to the closet, picking out some clothes for the day. 

“Gonna take a shower and then make breakfast for the princess,” he says to his new buddy, as though he would answer. He looks back at him to find him staring with his head tilted. Steve chuckles, “yeah, don’t tell her I called her that, she’d probably punch me.” 

After a long shower, he makes his way into the kitchen, he feeds his cat before he gets started on the breakfast that he cooks for Robin and himself every morning. He sips on his hot coffee, bobbing his head to music that plays from the radio that he bought a few days back as he stirs the scrambled eggs. 

Robin walks out of her room moments later, with messy hair and a very tired look on her face, she makes a stop in the bathroom before she joins Steve in the kitchen. 

“Morning Dingus,” she grumbles as she pushes past him. She grabs her favorite mug from the cupboard and pours the freshly brewed coffee into it. 

“Morning, Robby,” he chuckles. “How’d you sleep?”

“Like shit,” she mumbles, walking over to the fridge, she opens it and grabs the creamer. “I need coffee so so bad.” 

Steve scrunches his face up at her, watching her pour tons and tons of creamer in.

“I don’t know how you can drink that, it’s too fucking sweet, Robin.” 

She rolls her eyes at him, taking a sip from it, she closes her eyes and nods. “No, this is exactly what I need. Flavored goodness to wake me up in the morning.” 

“Yeah, it’s the overload of sugar that wakes you up, not the coffee in there,” he chuckles as he points to her mug. “It’s bad for your teeth.”

“It’s not an overload, you’re just a grandpa.” 

“Why? Because I don’t like creamer?” 

“No, because you don’t like sweet stuff.”

“Not true, I got sugar in my coffee.”

She snorts, leaning against the counter, she holds her mug against her chest, “yeah, how much? A sprinkle?” 

He takes a sip of his coffee, shaking his head at her, “nope, two teaspoons.”

“Oh wow!” 

He rolls her eyes at her, placing his hand on his hip, he turns back to the stove. 

She chuckles at his pose, “you know, you’re like a real mom – cooking breakfast for me, telling me to be safe even though I’m dating a girl, telling me that sugary stuff is bad for my teeth.” 

He waves her off, “yeah yeah.” 

She laughs, walking over to their kitchen table, she sits down and reaches for the newspaper, “hey, where’s your little buddy?” 

Steve uses the spatula to point at the couch, “buddy is sleeping.”

Robin straightens her back, looking over to where he’s pointing, she finds the tiny kitten sleeping on the fluffy blanket she left there, last night. 

Her eyes soften and her lips pull into a pout, “he’s the cutest little thing I’ve ever seen – I’m so happy you kept him.”

“Not like I had a choice,” Steve snorts, though his eyes are soft as he looks at his little buddy. “Dustin forced me to keep him.” 

“Don’t act like it wasn’t the birthday present you ever got,” Robin says, glancing at him. 

Dustin and Max thought it was a great idea to adopt a kitten for his 21st birthday. He didn’t exactly have a choice but to keep him – besides, Steve fell in love with the cat the moment he held him in his hands. 

“Yeah, I love him. I don’t have a name for him yet though.” 

Robin shrugs, “you didn’t like any of my suggestions. I guess he will stay ‘Cat’ forever.” 

“No, he won’t,” Steve shakes his head as he walks over to the table, placing both plates on the table before he walks back to the counter to get his cup of coffee. 

“That smells good,” Robin smiles at him, pulling the plate closer and reaching for the fork, “thanks mom,” she teases him. 

He flips her off as he sits down across from her, making her chuckle. 

She takes a bite of the toast and digs into the eggs, getting lost in her thoughts as she chews her breakfast. 

Steve looks at her, watching the way she raises her brows before she holds her finger up, like she does every time whenever she remembers something important. 

“Oh! I just remembered, Lizzy told me that someone’s moving in next door!” 

“Really?” He asks, furrowing his brows at her. 

“Yeah, some couple.” 

Steve frowns at her words, dropping his fork, he reaches for his mug. 

“Damn, let’s hope they’re nothing like the couple in the last apartment building,” he says in disgust. 

Robin and Steve lived across the street in the old building for almost two years and almost every night, they’d both have to wear earplugs to avoid hearing them moan and scream. 

“They were horny rabbits,” Robin laughs in amusement as she continues eating, totally unfazed by those memories. 

“Yeah, like you and Chrissy,” he mumbles, glaring at her. “I hope the walls here are thicker than in the last apartment.”

Robin blushes at his words, though she keeps the teasing smile on her lips. Excitement rushes through her when she thinks about her girlfriend, who is currently away for college. 

“You’ll find out next week.”

“She’s coming to visit?” 

“Mhmm.”

“Cool,” Steve nods, smiling at her. “Alright, I’m gonna clean up the kitchen and you should start getting ready for work or the manager will kick you out.” 

She snorts at his words, rolling her eyes at the teasing look on his face. 

“You’re the manager, Dingus.” 

“Not yet, Robs.”

“Yeah, well you’re almost the manager.” 

“Almost, yeah.”

-

It’s the beginning of September, the last days of summer are going strong. It’s not as hot as it was in July or August, but it’s still very warm. The afternoon sun shines into the store, the soft breeze from outside touching his skin as he passes by the open door.  

It’s a slow day at Family Video and Steve spent most of his time stacking up new tapes. Frowning every time he passes by Pretty in Pink, he came to hate the movie, simply because he gets asked about it at least five times a day – and because Robin and Chrissy force him to watch the movie with them, all the damn time. 

He’s organizing the shelf in the back aisle, fixing all the tapes that have been put back unevenly. 

He furrows his brows when he hears Robin’s whispers as she seemingly talks to someone at the front, though he doesn’t take a peek to look who it is, he figures that she’s using the phone to talk to Chrissy as always. Keith almost caught her during one of her phone calls – she came up with a lie and he of course had her back, Keith didn’t seem to believe that she was talking to a customer who was asking for a very specific movie, he also didn’t believe Steve when he told him that said customer calls all the time, but he brushed it off, surprisingly. He must have had a good day, otherwise he would have fired them both probably. 

He almost flinches when he feels someone tapping his shoulder – he didn’t even hear the footsteps. 

“Excuse me? – Can you help me find Pretty in Pink?”

It takes him a moment. 

He almost groans in annoyance at the mention of that movie but then his eyes widen and his heart leaps to his throat. For a second he thinks that it’s his mind playing tricks on him but when he turns around, his eyes widen even further and his lips curl into a big smile. 

The same eyes that were filled with tears after the last goodbye two years back, now stare at him with happiness and excitement in them. 

You are here. 

You came back. 

“I– Dolly?!” He gasps as he looks you up and down, like he can’t believe that you are truly here after being away for so long. 

“Hi, Stevie.” 

You’re looking at him with a smile on your face as you take in the sight of him too. 

It’s almost been two years since you had last seen each other. 

Two years since you have left Hawkins. 

You look happy, you look beautiful, even more so than before. Your hair is even longer now, styled perfectly, long bangs are framing your face. Your lips are cherry red, it suits you well. You’re wearing a short sundress, your sun kissed skin is glowing beneath the sunlight that shines into the store. He can smell your perfume, it’s a new one. 

You look amazing, healthy and at peace. 

Snapping out of it, he drops the tape he was holding, not caring where it lands. He takes a step forward, he wraps his arms around your waist and picks you up, twirling you around as he holds you tightly. 

A squeal falls from your lips before you start laughing, you wrap your arms around his neck. Hugging him back just as tightly.

“I missed you so fucking much!” He exclaims, squeezing your waist. “I’m never letting you leave again.”

“I missed you too, Steve.”

He missed your voice too – you called him on his birthday but this is different. 

You giggle, letting go of him when he puts you down again. 

He squeezes you one more time before he pulls away from the hug, still smiling for you, unable to tear his eyes away from you. 

“Hi,” he whispers. 

“Hi,” you smile, giggling again. 

You take in the sight of him. He changed, somehow he appears even taller to you than before. His shoulders are broader, his hair is longer, a light stubble on his cheeks. He looks older, in a good way. But most importantly, he looks content, he looks happy and that makes your smile even bigger. 

He blinks, he opens his mouth to speak again but he is stunned, completely caught off guard. 

He takes a deep breath, running his fingers through his hair before he puts his hand on the shelf next to him. 

“I– wow, I can’t believe you’re back,” he says, shaking his head. “And you, you look amazing.” 

You look down at the floor, smiling at his words. 

“Thank you. You do too, Steve.”

Your eyes meet his again when you look back up. 

“Thank you,” he smiles as his eyes soften.

He gets excited, too excited at the thought of seeing you around town again. Hawkins hasn’t been the same since you left. It was weird at first, places that you have always gone to, suddenly seemed so lonesome and lifeless, despite the people around them. You were just gone and he hated it. 

“W-Wait, are you back for good or are you just visiting?” 

You shake your head, “no, we’re back, for good.”

Steve can’t begin to describe how happy he feels to hear these words. He missed you, he missed his best friend. 

There are so many things he wants to ask, so many things he wants to tell you but he is just too stunned. 

He looks over your shoulder, “where’s Eddie?”

“He’s talking to Robin, wanna go say hi?” You smile. 

“Yeah, let’s go,” he nods, putting his hand on your shoulder. “So, did you guys plan to come back here or was it spontaneous.” 

“Both. We just kinda made that decision spontaneously, back in July. It’s been nice to live in a big city and travel around whenever we had the chance to but we missed everyone here,” you pause, smiling when your eyes meet Eddie’s as you and Steve make your way to the front desk. “Even Eddie, can you believe that?”

He chuckles, knowing how much Eddie always cursed about this town. 

“Do you have a place here already or are you staying with your mom?” 

You shake your head, “no, Wayne helped us find an apartment and Enzo was happy to offer Eddie a job again.” 

Steve nods, smiling. 

“And you?”

“Oh, I got an interview tomorrow at the new coffee shop here!” You explain, excitedly. “We checked it out earlier, it’s so cool! They sell books and records!”

His eyes light up, his lips curl into a smile, “it’s a good place, they make good coffee there.” 

“Do you go there often?” 

He nods, “yeah and so do Max and Lucas, they go there to study – like every afternoon,” he chuckles. 

“Really?” You ask, your eyes lighting up. 

“Yeah!”

“Cute,” you smile. “But uh, let’s not get too forward, maybe I won’t get the job.”

He pats your shoulder, giving you a soft smile, “nah, you’ll get it. You love coffee, books and music. They gotta give you the job. – But hey, if you wanna stack up VHS tapes all day, this place will look for a new employee soon, so if you’re interested,” he offers as his smile grows wider. “I’m gonna be the manager soon.” 

You both stop at the counter and Steve places his hand on his hip, smirking a little. 

Your eyes widen at his words, “no way! That’s amazing, Steve!” 

“What’s amazing?” 

At the sound of his voice, Steve tears his eyes away from you and looks over at Eddie. He takes him in just like he did with you – it’s almost odd to see him without his signature leather jacket or his vest, his skin a little less pale than usual. He notices the new tattoos on his left arm and how his hair is slightly longer than it was when you both left. Unlike the last few times they had seen each other, there’s not a single negative emotion lingering in his brown eyes – no insecurity, no jealousy, no fear. Eddie looks happy, just like you do. 

“Hey man,” Steve nods at him, not even needing to force a smile this time. 

“Hey Steve,” Eddie nods, smiling back at him and offering his hand to him. 

They shake hands, taking in the sight of each other. There’s no tension between them, not anymore. 

“Steve is gonna be the new manager here soon!” 

Eddie’s eyes widen, he chuckles at your excitement and smiles at Steve, “congrats, man! That’s nice.”

“Thanks, Eddie.” Steve smiles. 

Robin looks between them as she leans against the counter with her arms crossed over her chest, smiling at the two men. 

Eddie wraps his arm around your shoulder once he lets go of Steve’s hand. Giving you a smile when you press yourself against him. 

“Well, this is nice,” Robin snorts, clapping her hands together as she looks between both men. “You finally got a guy to hang out with, Steve,” she winks at him. 

He snorts at her, rolling his eyes. “I got a guy.” 

“Who, cat?” 

You snap your head towards Robin before your eyes lock with Steve’s, “Cat? You got a cat?” 

He chuckles at the excitement in your eyes. “Yeah, Dustin and Max got me a kitten for my birthday.”

Your eyes widen as a gasp falls from your lips, making both him and Eddie chuckle. 

“Yeah and he still doesn’t have a name!” Robin exclaims. 

“Oh my god! A kitten?” You pout as your eyes soften. 

“Yeah, he’s really cuddly too. You’re gonna fall in love with him,” Steve smiles. 

Eddie chuckles at his words, looking down at you, “she falls in love with all the cats, Steve.” 

“Yeah, that’s why she fell for you,” Robin snorts. 

Eddie furrows his brows, “what?” 

“You give off cat energy, Eddie. Always hungry, hissing at everyone and clingy with just that one person.” 

Eddie’s lips part, confusion flashes in his eyes but he’s amused by her words. He wraps his arm around you tighter and kisses your cheek in response, making you giggle. 

“See,” Robin chuckles. 

“Oh.. yeah,” Steve mumbles. “You’re onto something, totally reminds me of Cat–”

“Cat is the poor kitten he hasn’t named yet, by the way,” Robin interrupts him, glancing at the both of you.

Steve rolls his eyes but continues, “cat waggles with his tail when he hears Metallica on the radio.” 

“You got a rockstar cat!” You laugh. 

“Can we meet the little rockstar?” Eddie asks, surprising Steve. 

He was unsure of how Eddie would react if he tried to be your friend again, fearing that he would have a problem with that or try to keep you away from him out of fear that he might try to get you back. He didn’t expect Eddie to be the one to make the first move though but it puts a smile on his face. 

“Yeah, of course! You two should come over tonight so we can catch up.”

“Yes!” Robin says, excitedly. “You can tell us all about your fun adventures!” 

“That would be nice,” you smile. “I missed hanging out with you guys.” 

“Yeah, me too, surprisingly.” Eddie snorts. 

“Don’t act like you didn’t cry over us every day, Edward,” Robin teases him, looking between you two. Her eyes suddenly flash with curiosity. “Hey wait, where are you two staying?” 

You and Eddie share a look, smiling at one another before you turn back to her. 

“Wayne helped us get an apartment! We moved all the boxes in and some of the furniture from our old place earlier,” Eddie explains, moving his hand to the small of your back. “The place is just around the corner.”

“It’s cool, we love it. And the landlord is a really nice lady.”

Robin and Steve slowly turn towards one another, sharing the same look as realization dawns on them both. 

Lizzy, the really nice old lady, told Robin about the couple that was moving in next door just last night. 

Steve purses his lips, slowly looking back at you, “w-wait..”

“Umm, your landlord doesn’t happen to go by the name of Lizzy?” 

Eddie raises his brows at them both, nodding. 

“Yeah! She was sweet and she complimented me – oh! And she told me how much her husband looked like Eddie when he was young!” You giggle. 

Steve’s lips part in surprise and Eddie almost wants to laugh at his expression until Robin opens her mouth. 

“Wow, she must’ve had two husbands then because apparently Steve also looked like her husband!” She says, chuckling as she takes in the confused looks on your and Eddie’s faces. 

Steve pinches the bridge of his nose, mumbling something under his breath as his cheeks flush red at Robin’s comment. 

“W-Wait what?” Eddie stutters, tilting his head at her. “How do you – huh?”

While your boyfriend takes longer to realize what is going on, it only takes you a second to understand that your landlord is also Steve’s and Robin’s landlord. 

“So.. you are the couple who’s moving in next door?” Steve waves his finger between you and Eddie. 

“Next door?” Eddie mumbles. “Didn’t you – wait, I thought you still lived in that apartment next to Radio Shack?” 

You nod at his words, you thought the same thing. 

Steve and Robin share a look, both sighing at the mention of their old place. 

“Yeah, we moved out of that one two weeks ago, it was a shithole, honestly.” 

Robin nods with her eyes wide. Tapping her fingers against the counter, “yep.” 

You and Eddie chuckle in confusion, taking in their ‘traumatized’ faces. 

“What was wrong with that place?” 

“Oh, it’s a long story!” Steve laughs, scratching the back of his neck. “We’ll tell you all about it later.”

“Yes! We’ll order some takeout, have a couple of drinks and you two can tell us all about Chicago!” Robin smiles. 

Excitement rushes through you. You missed your friends, you missed Robin and Steve. 

Eddie squeezes your arm, he looks down at you. 

You meet your boyfriend’s loving eyes, he nods at you. 

A smile tugs at your lips, you lean your head on his shoulder and turn back to your friends. 

“We’d love to.” 

Steve’s eyes light up, he smiles at you, clapping his hands together. 

“You’ll get to meet cat!” He chuckles.

Robin chuckles at his excitement, she runs her fingers through her hair, “Steve and I are gonna order the food!”

“And we’ll get the drinks,” Eddie winks at her.

She clicks her tongue, winking back at him.

Steve chuckles at them, he looks back at you, “alright then, neighbors,” he says with a funny look on his face. “I’ll drop by your place after work, gotta see and make sure that you didn’t get the better apartment.” 

A laugh falls from your lips, “we totally did, Stevie.” 

“You wish,” he smirks. 

“The place is a mess, we gotta get some stuff done.” 

“Like what?” Steve asks, looking at Eddie. “I can help.”

“Nah, it’s fine. I got it,” Eddie smiles, though he appreciates the offer. 

“I’m off this weekend, so if you need anything, let me know.” 

You’re pleasantly surprised to see them getting along with each other. 

Time has passed, things have changed, feelings have changed. But nonetheless, you expected more tension between them – you are happy that it’s not the case. 

And as they fall into a conversation, you and Robin smile at each other, knowing that things will be different this time. 

-

Steve’s and Robin’s place is a little bigger than yours and Eddie’s. It’s colorful, not overwhelming though, it’s comforting and cozy. String lights are hanging from the ceiling, posters of Indie bands on the living room walls, pillows and blankets on the couch, you remember seeing those on Robin’s bed in her old room at her parent’s place. 

Boxes of takeouts, drinks and snacks are all across the small table. Music plays in the background. 

You’re sitting on the floor, a box of polaroids in front of you, a smile lingering on your face as you look through the pictures that were taken in the past two years. 

Robin is next to you, telling you the stories behind every picture. 

“He is such a cute little thing,” Eddie coos at the kitten in his lap, chuckling when he digs his claws into his shirt, using it to crawl up on his chest. Cat purrs as he rubs against Eddie’s face. “Damn, you’re making me want a cat too.”

Steve takes a sip from his beer, leaning back on the couch, “you should get one, they’re adorable.” 

“Can’t believe you didn’t name him yet.” 

“Yeah, everyone has been suggesting names!” Robin exclaims, looking away from the picture of her and Chrissy. “He hates every single one!” 

Steve rolls his eyes at her, “they just don’t fit, Robby!” 

“I fear he’s gonna be Cat forever,” Eddie pouts as he pets him. 

You put the last picture back in the box and stand up, smoothing down your skirt and Eddie’s shirt that you changed into after your shower earlier. You sit down next to Eddie, snuggling against his side – the moment you do so, Steve’s cat makes his way towards you, jumping into your lap and looking up at you with his green eyes. 

Your eyes light up, your heart soars in your chest as you pick him up and pull him closer, setting him down on your chest. 

“Hey there, little buddy,” you whisper, smiling as he snuggles deeper into your chest, purring as he digs his claws into your shirt. “You are such a sweet little angel.” 

Eddie chuckles, reaching his hand out to pet his head. 

“You love those boobs don’t you, Cat?” He smirks. “I do too. They’re so fun to play with.”

“Eddie!” You gasp. 

Robin laughs at his words and at the flustered look on your face. 

Steve shakes his head, snorting. 

“He is a very innocent little thing,” you coo at the kitten, scratching the spots behind his ears, he keeps purring, closing his eyes as he lays his head on your chest. “Oh my god, I love him.” 

Eddie smiles down at you as you lay your head on his shoulder, he wraps his arm around you.

Steve leans his elbow on the headrest, looking between you and Eddie, the way you are so natural and comfortable with each other – it’s nothing new to him, you have always been like that with one another, maybe slightly less touchy. 

The look in Eddie’s eyes as nothing but pure love and adoration as he laughs when Cat licks your nose. 

You giggle, scrunching up your nose and closing your eyes. 

He can’t describe the feeling in his chest at this moment, but seeing you so happy, seeing the love between you and Eddie makes him feel at peace.

Two years ago, he let go. 

A part of him will always think back to it, back to you and to what you both had. 

But he let go, and it’s good like this because he still got to keep you in his life, maybe not like before, but he is happy with what he gets to have now. 

You left and you both lived separate lives. 

But you came back and you’re here again. 

And maybe, you both can go back to how things were before you crossed the line and left behind a friendship that you both mourn. 

“Hey Dolly?” 

You turn your face towards him, looking into his warm eyes, “yes?”

“Do you have some name suggestions?” He asks. “You always named the stray cats so..” 

A smile pulls at your lip, “hmm.”

Robin reaches for the bowl of popcorn on the table, placing it on her lap, she begins snacking as she shoots you a look, “I’m warning you, he’s gonna hate all the names.”

“Shut it, Robs.” 

She flips him off, causing Eddie to chuckle at their interaction. 

You hum as you look at the black kitten on your chest, “void.” 

Eddie snorts, “that’s a good one.”

Steve sighs, shaking his head. 

“He rubbed off on you,” he mumbles, nudging Eddie’s shoulder. “What would the child, innocent and pure 10 year old Dolly name this cat?” 

You giggle at him, turning away to look back down at him. 

“Hmm… Stevie!” 

Robin and Eddie laugh at your name suggestion. 

“What?” 

You look over at Steve, who’s staring at you like he’s waiting for you to continue. 

“Not you. The cat! Call him Stevie – he gives off Stevie energy.” 

Steve scrunches his whole face up, “I am not naming the cat after me! Seriously, do you guys even try?” 

You all laugh at the disapproving look on his face. 

“Ozzy,” Eddie shrugs. 

“Huh?”

“Ozzy Osbourne,” Eddie says to Steve. “You know, from Black Sabbath?” 

Steve stares at him with furrowed brows and downturned lips. But as he watches his cat claw his way out of your lap and jumps over Eddie to get to him, he looks up at him, yawning as he settles in his lap. 

“Ozzy,” Steve murmurs, petting him. Steve smiles when he starts purring. “Yeah, I think he likes that one.” 

“Is that a yes?” 

Steve’s eyes meet Eddie’s, a smile tugs at his lips. “Yeah, shit.. you got a name, buddy,” he chuckles as he looks back down at Ozzy. 

Robin claps her hands, “finally!” She cheers. “Wow, I can’t believe you let Eddie name the cat.” 

“Does that mean you’re both his parents?” You ask, giggling. 

Eddie snorts, pulling you closer as he smirks down at you. 

“Sure, but I got full custody of my child,” Steve jokes.

Two years back, Steve would have rolled his eyes at your joke but now he just laughs and plays along. 

You have noticed how much he changed. 

Your last moments with him, before you left, weren’t the happiest. He was sad, heartbroken and lost. But now he seems content, happy. Even after his failed attempts at dating again, he doesn’t seem sad or heartbroken over it. He told you about his horrible date experiences with Heidi and Amanda – and he didn’t seem pained while he was talking about it, he was amused, that’s all. He tried dating and he gave up, not because he wasn’t ready but because he is just not looking for love or a relationship – ‘It will happen when the time is right.’ He said. 

He is more relaxed now, calm and he seems more confident with himself. You like seeing him this way, he deserves to feel comfortable with himself. 

“A cat is good training for kids someday,” Robin says, leaning back as she throws popcorn into her mouth. 

“Oh really? Do you want kids?” Eddie chuckles. 

Robin shakes her head with wide eyes, “hell no. I’m not Steve, he’s the one with a car full of kids.”

“Do I look like I have a bunch of kids?” Steve mumbles, confused. 

“Yeah.” All three of you reply in unison. 

“You have six kids already.” 

He rolls his eyes but chuckles, “they’re not even kids anymore!” 

“Maybe you can babysit their kids soon,” Robin wiggles her brows as she nudges her chin at you and Eddie. 

“Oh my god,” you groan, shaking your head at her. 

Steve suddenly frowns, blinking as he stares at you and Eddie, “wait, where’s your bedroom again?” 

“Huh?” 

“Your bedroom, what side is it on? Cause our last neighbors were fucking like rabbits!”

“Yeah it was disgusting!” Robin mumbles. 

“You’re one to talk!” Steve glares at her. “I have to wear earplugs every time Chrissy comes to visit, they’re fucking rabbits too.”

She grows red, rolling her eyes at him. 

You laugh at the flustered look on her face. 

“Yeah, I hope you still have those earplugs,” Eddie chuckles. “Our room is right over there.”

Robin groans loudly as she looks at the wall he’s pointing at. 

Steve sighs. 

“We got kicked out of our last apartment because we fu–”

“Eddie!” You punch his arm, cheeks feeling hotter than before as you shake your head at him.

Steve and Robin stare at you both in disbelief. 

“No, I swear. They kicked us out cause we were too loud,” Eddie says proudly, while you continue shaking your head. 

“And you will get kicked out a second time if you don’t keep quiet,” Robin points at him with a glare. 

Steve laughs, shaking his head as he brings up his drink to his lips. 

“Time to use the ball gag, baby,” Eddie smirks. 

Steve chokes on his beer, eyes widening at Eddie’s words. 

“Jesus fucking christ, Eddie!” You gasp, burying your face in your hands. 

Robin laughs loudly, throwing her head back. 

“God damn,” Steve coughs, furrowing his brows at you. “I thought you were a good girl, Dolly.”

Eddie snorts at that, looking over at Steve to see him smirking. 

You glare at them both, but you can’t even hide how flustered you are. 

“Robin, help me out.”

“No, I’m having too much fun here.”

Rolling your eyes, you push Eddie’s arm off and get up with a sigh, “I need another drink,” you mumbled under your breath as you leave the living room in a haste. You hear their snickers even when you enter the kitchen, you can hear Eddie saying something that makes Steve groan and Robin laugh even harder. 

You shake your head but a smile tugs at your lips. 

You reach for the handle on the fridge when your eyes fall on the picture next to the many magnets. Your smile transforms into a softer one. It’s an old picture of Steve and you. 

You remember that day, it was his birthday, his sixteenth birthday. His dad had gotten him the BMW. The moment he had gotten those keys, you grabbed your polaroid camera, you wanted to take a picture of him and his new car but Steve had pushed the camera into his mom’s hands and asked her to take a picture of the two of you in front of his new ‘baby’. 

You were still best friends at that time. Steve's arm was wrapped around your shoulder, you were wearing a cardigan that was way too big for you, it hid the pretty dress you were wearing underneath. You looked so happy in that picture and so did he. You were smiling into the camera but Steve was looking at you with a big smile on his face, eyes that were still shining with happiness and love. 

“You looked so small standing there in your cardigan.” 

You flinch, looking back in surprise. 

Steve is leaning against the doorway, looking at you. 

“You scared me,” you chuckle, putting your hand on your chest. 

“I’m sorry,” he smiles as he walks into the kitchen. “My mom gave me this picture when I moved out.”

“Oh, that’s where it was!”

He nods. 

“Yeah. I remember how excited I was to go for a drive and forced you into the passenger seat,” he says, chuckling at the memory. “She put that picture into an album.”

You smile, looking down. 

“You ever miss those days?” He asks, leaning against the kitchen counter with his arms crossed. “When we just got into high school, we'd just drive around, listen to music, go to the movies..”

“Eat junk food, gossip about the bad hair styles in the magazines,” you add, laughing. 

“Exactly,” he nods. 

“Yeah, sometimes. Cause back then things were simple and we were just teenagers who still lived in that safe little bubble.” 

“Yeah,” he sighs but he smiles at you. 

“I kinda miss talking shit about bad hairstyles,” you laugh. 

He nudges your shoulder with his, “hey, we can still do that. I mean with the addition of Eddie and Robin now,” he chuckles as his eyes soften. “Eddie is… kinda.. cool now. I think we’ll get along better now.” 

Your gaze softens, eyes shining with happiness. 

“That’s all I wanted,” you whisper. 

You wanted your best friend back in your life and you wanted your other best friend, your boyfriend to get along with him. But you knew that it might not ever be possible, because sometimes, time changes nothing – you hope that it did in this case, though. 

“You know, I’m kinda excited to have you as my neighbor.” 

Your eyes flash with surprise, your lips twitch. You weren’t sure how he would actually feel about this, having you and Eddie as his neighbors. 

“Really?”

“Yeah, I can bother you all day now,” he smirks. “And Eddie too. I’ll blast pop music every night.” 

A laugh falls from your lips, “don’t mess with Eddie, he will come over with his guitar,” you chuckle. “His electric guitar.” 

He snorts. 

“I’m not even kidding,” you giggle as you think about all the performances Eddie had given to you – sometimes wearing nothing but boxers while you laid in bed, watching him with a smile on your face. 

“I believe you,” he chuckles. “It’s Eddie we’re talking about, he always loved his dramatic performances.” He refers to all the speeches your boyfriend had held on the lunch tables in the cafeteria. 

“He really did.”

Steve watches the way your eyes glow with love as you think back to the times where you and him would watch Eddie jump around on the lunch tables. Had someone told him back then, that Eddie would end up being your boyfriend and he your ex boyfriend, he would probably have had a mental breakdown over it or maybe he would have laughed, not believing that you would end up with a metalhead instead of him. 

When you left, he spent a lot of time wondering what would have happened if he never left you. 

Would you have still met Eddie? 

Would you have been the one to leave him the way he left you for her? 

Was everything supposed to go this way because you and Eddie were always meant to be together? 

So many what if’s had haunted him for a long time after you left but not anymore. 

He made peace with everything, a long time ago. 

He loves you, he always will. 

You will always have a special place in his heart as he will have one in yours. 

And seeing you so happy and in love with Eddie, doesn’t fill him with pain anymore, it fills him with joy because this is what you deserve – to love and to be loved ten times more. 

And even if his wishes from the past didn’t come true, he is still happy because even after everything, you came back and he gets to have you in his life again. 

You still wear his locket and he still wears your wristband – you are still special to each other, you are still best friends. 

You left behind your first love but you never left your friendship behind. 

“You know, I was a little worried that you forgot about me,” you tease him. 

His eyes flash with sadness, a soft smile appears on his face as he takes your hand in his. 

“I could never forget you, Dolly,” he whispers, squeezing your hand. “You’re my best friend.” 

A breathy laugh falls from your cherry red lips, your bangs fall in front of your eyes as you look down for a moment. 

“You’re my best friend too, Stevie,” you whisper, looking back up. 

You both smile at each other, eyes filled with happiness and a love that you carried for one another as kids. 

As you stand there and look at one another, you know that everything is okay now, everything is good. 

There is no sadness between you both anymore, no tears, no pain, no heartbreak. 

You’re both okay. 

You’re both happy. 

This love will last forever. 

He lets go of your hand and brings it up to your face, pinching your cheek as 10 year old Steve would do. 

“Come on, Dolly,” he teases, laughing when you swat his hand away, just like 9 year old Dolly would do. “I’ll race you to the living room.” 

You roll your eyes at the cocky smirk on his face as he starts to walk backwards. 

“You know I’m faster than you.”

“Oh, are you?” He chuckles. 

“Yes, I am.” 

Before Steve can even react, you move past him and push him back a little before you run out of the kitchen, laughing loudly when he groans. 

He runs after you, reaching for your elbow but you push his hand off and bolt into the living room. 

“Eddie, help!” You giggle. 

Your boyfriend straightens up, watching you with an amused look on his face as you run past Robin and hide behind the lovechair. 

“No, help me! She plays dirty!” Steve exclaims.

“Is that true, sweetheart?” Eddie smirks, his brown eyes flashing with mischief as he stands up. 

You shake your head, pouting. 

Eddie chuckles at that, moving towards you, while Steve walks towards you on the other side. 

Your lips part as you watch them, eyes widening when they glance at each other with smirks on their faces. 

“You’re teaming up on me!? You’re my boyfriend, you’re supposed to protect your princess!” You giggle as you start walking backwards. Glancing at Robin who watches the three of you in amusement while Ozzy sits on her lap, looking between the three of you. 

“Are you good princess or bad princess, right now?” 

Steve furrows his brows, looking over at your boyfriend, “why do I have a feeling that this means something dirty?” 

“Because it is,” Robin gags. 

You and Eddie smirk at each other – but your smirk quickly falls when Eddie suddenly lunges forward, you turn around, trying to run but he wraps his arms around you, picking you up with ease, “got ya, baby,” he whispers in your ear and kisses your shoulder and then your neck, making you giggle softly. 

“She’s definitely bad princess, right now.” Steve snorts. 

Eddie pulls you back towards the couch, holding you tightly as his fingers dig into your waist, making you squirm beneath his touch. 

“Well, I captured the bad princess,” Eddie jokes, murmuring into your hair.

You giggle, your heart fluttering at the feeling of his hands on your skin. You place your hands over his, laughing when he pulls you down on the couch with him. 

“Hold on tight to her,” Steve chuckles, smiling at Eddie. 

Eddie tightens his grip on you in response, smiling when you turn around to face him, your smile mirroring his. His heart flutters in his chest – just the way yours does as you look into your boyfriends beautiful eyes. 

“I always will.” 

Robin looks between you and Eddie with a smile on her face. A strand of Eddie’s hair gets stuck on your eyelash, making you both laugh when he tries to pull it away. She looks up at Steve, he watches the two of you and for a moment, Robin fears that old wounds will be ripped open again, that even after two years, she will have to hold him again while he cries because he won’t ever get you back the way he had you before – but, the smile on his face isn’t faked, it’s very real and it isn’t a sad one. 

“Hey Steve?” 

Steve tears his eyes away from you and looks at Eddie. 

“Yeah?” 

“Do you wanna watch Pretty in Pink with us?” 

Robin laughs, watching Steve’s face contort into annoyance. 

“No!” 

Eddie and you giggle at the look on his face. 

“Anything but Pretty in Pink!” 

“Anything?” Eddie raises his brows. 

“Yeah.” 

“But what if I wanna watch Pretty in Pink with you, Stevie?” You pout. 

“Yeah,” Eddie chuckles, cupping your cheeks with one hand, he squishes them slightly. “Can you really say no to that cute face?” 

He sighs, tilting his head as he looks at you. 

“I can already tell, you two are gonna be menaces, even more so than Robin and Chrissy!” 

Robin scoffs, rolling her eyes at Steve. 

“Nah,” Eddie shakes his head, letting go of your cheeks, he pulls you closer. “You’re gonna love us.” 

Steve sits down on the loveseat, smiling when Ozzy jumps out of Robin’s lap and runs towards him, he leans down and picks him up when he sits down by his feet. He pulls the kitten into his lap, letting him snuggle against his chest. 

“Will I?” Steve asks, frowning playfully. 

“Oh yeah,” Eddie chuckles, kissing your cheek. 

“You definitely will, Stevie.” 

You lay your head on Eddie’s shoulder and you look around, happy to be in a room with your favorite people. Excitement lingers inside of you, to be back here with Eddie, to settle in for good this time, to see your friends again – to see Eddie and Steve getting along, to see Robin and Chrissy together again, to hang out with Heather and Argyle again. 

You place your hand over Eddie’s left hand, playing with the silver band on his finger – the one that matches your own, the one you put on each other’s fingers that one night in Vegas. 

And you look around the room again, the conversation as trivial as possible. Your boyfriend and your best friend getting along – when two years ago this would have never happened. 

It’s happiness, pure and absolute happiness and you are hoping that it will stay that way. 

“Dolly, tell Eddie that Fleetwood Mac is superior to Iron Maiden, please!” Steve says with a smile, and you can’t even answer as you feel your eyes burn slightly from the joy your heart is feeling. 

Yes.. now you are sure that this happiness will linger forever. 

Like a tattoo.
