Any Time You’re Ready

After another lousy date, Oliver’s parents remind him that love might be closer than he expects.

Oliver Wood x Fem!Reader

1.7k words

Warnings: none, fluff, kissing, embarrassing parents

A/N: Inspired by the Shawn Mendes song “When You’re Ready” because I’m obsessed with “What if my dad is right/When he says that you're the one”

~

“Goodnight, Oliver.”

“G’night, Casey.”

The girl stepped into the green flames in the Wood family fireplace, called out her address, and was gone. As soon as the flames resumed their usual orange tint, Oliver turned around and strolled into the kitchen. He found his parents, sharing a slice of cake and sipping tea. Their heads snapped up as he walked in.

“So, what’d you guys think?” Oliver grinned as his parents.

“She seemed nice,” his mom answered with a shrug.

His dad nodded. “Yeah, Cadie seems like a nice girl.”

Oliver’s face fell. “Casey, Dad. Her name’s Casey.”

“Right, right.” His dad took a sip of tea, clearly not embarrassed by his mistake. “But what about-”

“Dad, stop,” Oliver groaned. He already knew what his dad was going to say; he said it every time Oliver showed interest in a new girl.

You and Oliver grew up next door to each other and had been best friends from the time you could walk. Going to Hogwarts only brought you closer together, with all the time you spent together both in and out of the classroom, practically attached at the hip. And both of your parents had been convinced for years that the two of you belonged together.

Oliver’s dad held up his hands in defense. “’m just saying, son. I don’t know why you bother going out with these other girls. You’ve already got a great girl right next door. You’ve been friends since you were born. And everyone knows a friendship like that is the foundation of a solid relationship. Just look at me and your mother.”

“Dad,” Oliver said slowly. “You asked Mum out on your very first day at Hogwarts.”

“Yeah, and we were friends for the whole trip on the Hogwarts Express before that. Good foundation, like I said.”

“Right.” Oliver grabbed a tin of biscuits from the counter. “Well, ’m heading to bed. See you in the morning.” He waved at his parents and headed upstairs, taking the steps two at a time.

He should have been more surprised to find you lying on his bed, reading a book.

“How was your date?” you asked casually, eyes still on your book as he closed the door behind him.

“Fine,” he answered, crossing the room to close the window you had climbed through. He lied down next to you and opened the tin.

You took a cookie and shoved it in your mouth. “What do we think? Potential girlfriend?”

Oliver shrugged, helping himself to a cookie. “Probably not,” he admitted.

“It’s just as well,” you said, closing your book and tossing it on his nightstand. “She’s a bit of a dolt, if you ask me.”

A snort flew out of Oliver’s nose. “I don’t remember asking you.”

You elbowed him. “Well, you should’ve. I could’ve saved you a night of ‘Oh Oliver, you’re soooo funny, let me grab your muscles.’” You let out a fake high-pitched giggle and squeezed Oliver’s arm.

He warmed at your touch. No matter how hard he tried to fight it, he had finally admitted it to himself when he was fourteen: Oliver Wood was in love with you. So for the last two years, he tried to act normal, like he wasn’t thinking about you every second of the day, like you were just his best friend and nothing else.

But laying on his bed with you right next to him made it really hard to pretend.

“You’re so mean,” he laughed, trying to sound even. “Casey’s a nice girl.”

“Yeah, but she’s not right for you.” You wrinkled your nose.

Oliver turned onto his side and propped himself up on his elbow, facing you. “Oh, and you know what’s right for me?” he challenged.

You mirrored his pose, your nose close to his. “Of course I do. That’s what best friends are for.”

He felt a little tug on his stomach at the word friends. “Yeah, sure,” he scoffed, trying to play off the sting he’d felt every time you called him your friend over the last two years. “What about you? Any dates so far this summer?”

“A couple,” you admitted. “Nothing worth mentioning.” You flipped back onto your back, gazing at Oliver’s ceiling. “Why do we have so much trouble dating?”

Oliver stared at your profile, admiring the shape of your adorable nose and your perfect lips. “What d’you mean?”

“Well,” you sighed, “think about it. We’re both very good-looking, popular enough, definitely not idiots. Yet neither of us can get more than a couple dates out of a person. What gives?”

“Mmm.” Oliver thought a moment. He knew why none of his dates panned out, but he couldn’t for the life of him figure out why you, the most beautiful and perfect girl he knew, didn’t have a boyfriend.

Not that he minded.

“It’s not like I don’t have theories,” you continued, ignoring Oliver’s non-response. “Personally, I think you’re just too good for any of the girls at school.” Oliver felt his cheeks go warm again. “As for me, I’m going to go ahead and blame you.” You turned your head and smiled at your best friend.

“Me?” he asked with a dry chuckle. “How do you manage to blame me for your lack of boyfriend?”

You shrugged. “Think about it. Boy, girl. Best friends. Boy is good-looking and could probably beat up most of the boys in our year.” You popped another cookie in your mouth. “So, no one wants to date his girl best friend.”

Oliver stared at you a moment. Despite the fact that he definitely did not want to see you all cozied up with any of the boys at school, he couldn’t help feeling bad. If you wanted a boyfriend, you should have one. He never wanted to get in the way of your happiness.

It was as though you could feel his guilt. “It’s alright though,” you assured him with that sweet smile you usually reserved for Oliver. “Not like any of those boys are worth my time anyways. You’re the only decent boy in our year honestly.”

“Oh really?” he asked in a teasing voice, as though his heart was not hammering. The two of you had been doing this a lot lately: compliments, teasing just this side of flirting, skittering around a line no one was quite willing to cross, playing a game of chicken neither of you was willing to lose.

Tonight, you were the one who broke first. “So what’d your parents think of Casey anyways?” Your eyes were back on the ceiling of Oliver’s room, following the wizards flying around his Puddlemere United poster.

“They thought she was nice,” he answered, following your gaze. “My dad’s just disappointed that she’s not-” Oliver stopped himself, his eyes darting back to you.

You looked at him out of the corner of your eye. “Not what? Smart?” A smirk played on your lips.

Oliver thought a moment. You weren’t a mean girl typically. You were sweet, and you had plenty of girlfriends. The only people you were mean about were… well, the girls Oliver dated. The gears turned in his head as he calculated the risk he was about to take.

“Well, not you,” he finally admitted. “Dad’s disappointed she’s not you.”

“Oh.” You blinked a few times. Oliver could see the rapid thinking behind your expression. “And… what about you?” You sat up and looked down at Oliver, all the playfulness gone from your eyes.

Oliver heaved himself up as well. “I… I mean…” He licked his lips and sighed. Just spit it out, he told himself. “Sometimes I wonder if my dad’s… right?”

“Right about what?” You fidgeted with the hem of your t-shirt, a nervous habit Oliver knew well.

“He…” Oliver cleared his throat and took your hands in his. He saw your eyes flicker to them before meeting his gaze again. “He says that you’re the one.” Oliver winced, preparing himself for rejection and the end of your friendship, the thing he’d been dreading for two years.

“The one?” you echoed, your hands still in Oliver’s.

He nodded. “You know. The one.”

The smirk playing on your lips broke some of the tension between you. “What would that entail? If I was the one, I mean.”

His fears melted slightly at the sight of your small grin. “Well, it would probably start… with this.” Oliver closed his eyes and leaned forward, pressing his lips gently against yours.

Much to his relief, you kissed him back, letting go of his hands and wrapping your arms around his neck while his hands settled on your hips. He could taste your bubblegum flavored Chapstick, the one he borrowed annoyingly often, and you could taste the chocolate from the biscuits that now sat forgotten near the foot of the bed.

When Oliver let go, he didn’t bother trying to play cool; instead, he grinned from ear to ear, not caring how goofy he looked.

Likewise, you couldn’t help the giggle that tumbled out of your mouth, your hands still on Oliver’s shoulders. “Starts with that, huh?”

“Yeah, that’s just the beginning.” Oliver leaned forward again, his mind racing with excitement. He laid back, pulling you on top of him-

“I think you mean that’s the end of the night,” came a voice from the door neither of you noticed opening.

Color rushed to your cheeks as you scrambled to sit back up, pushing Oliver off you. “Hey Mr. Wood,” you managed, as if he caught you making out with his son all the time.

Your best friend’s dad nodded pointedly. “You should probably head back out that window, young lady. I’m sure we’ll see you tomorrow. When you use the front door.”

With one last awkward smile to Oliver, you jumped off the bed and opened the window, clambering out the way you’d done millions of times before. Trying to be a gentleman (especially in front of his dad), Oliver watched carefully as you climbed down the tree by his window, tiptoed across his backyard, through the gate between your houses, and through your first-story window, where you disappeared after a quick wave in his direction. When Oliver turned around with that still dopey smile, his dad was still in the doorway, a smug grin on his face.

“Told ya so, son.”

Shawn Mendes & Camila Cabello love tarot reading

What feelings does Shawn have for Camilla: king of wands reversed + 7 of wands + 5 of cups He has big commitment issues, he may break promises. He's a womaniser. With 7 of wands tarot card it seems like some of family members or friends were against of them getting back together, but he still fought for this relationship. Alternatively it can mean that he was blaming her for issues in the relationship. Now he feels sorry and sad that things between them didn't work out. What feelings does Camila have for Shawn: 3 of wands + 5 of wands + ace of swords She thought that their relationship will get on a new level. Yet they had lots of disagreements and conflicts. She looked at their connection with clear vision and had a breakthrough moment. Alternatively 3 of wands can mean that she just moved on. Will they get back together in 2024: 10 of pentacles + knight of pentacles reversed + judgement reversed Even though they have very solid and stable foundation for great relationship, one of them or both of them don't put effort and commitment to this connection. One of them or both of them neglecting the relationship. The judgment reversed also indicates avoiding making decision about the relationship. So, right now I don't think that they will get back together in 2024. But energy can change, so later in 2024 (somewhere in june/july) i can do an update reading if anybody will be interested.

All I’m gonna say is Shawn mendes has some real questionable people on his team. The main one being the girl who runs his social media and does the posting for his foundation account and Shawnaccess account. She’s posting so much stuff in support for Israel and i remember last year she was being so rude to people on her Instagram in the comments. She’s just a really weird person, I think she also handles stuff for Jpsaxe and Lauren Spencer smith.

Shawn’s entire creative team needs help

Music NFT Marketplaces: Redefining the Music Industry

Hey Tumblr community! Today, I’m excited to talk about a fascinating development in the music industry: Music NFT Marketplaces. These platforms are changing how artists distribute their music and how fans can own unique pieces of their favorite tunes. Let’s dive into what a Music NFT Marketplace is and why it’s creating such a buzz.

What is a Music NFT Marketplace?

A Music NFT Marketplace is a digital platform where musicians can mint, sell, and trade their music as NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens). Unlike traditional digital music files, NFTs are unique and stored on a blockchain, ensuring their authenticity and ownership.

How It Works

Minting: Artists create NFTs by minting their music on a blockchain, turning the music file into a unique digital asset.

Listing: The NFT is then listed on a marketplace for fans to browse and purchase.

Ownership Transfer: When an NFT is sold, ownership is transferred to the buyer, and the transaction is recorded on the blockchain.

Benefits for Artists and Fans

Direct Sales: Artists can sell directly to their fans, eliminating the need for intermediaries like record labels and streaming platforms.

Royalties: Smart contracts embedded in NFTs ensure artists receive a percentage of secondary sales, providing ongoing income.

Exclusive Content: Fans can access unique and exclusive content such as unreleased tracks, special editions, and VIP experiences.

Proof of Ownership: Blockchain technology guarantees the authenticity and ownership of each NFT, reducing the risk of piracy and fraud.

Success Stories

Grimes: The artist sold a collection of digital artworks and music as NFTs, generating over $6 million in a few days. Buyers received exclusive access to her digital creations.

Shawn Mendes: Released a series of NFT collectibles, including digital wearables and special edition items, raising significant funds for his foundation and engaging fans in new ways.

Challenges and Future Prospects

Environmental Impact: Minting NFTs can be energy-intensive, but new eco-friendly blockchain solutions are emerging.

Market Volatility: The value of NFTs can fluctuate, posing risks for both artists and buyers.

Accessibility: Not all fans are familiar with NFT technology, so simplifying the buying process and providing education is crucial.

Conclusion

Music NFT Marketplaces are transforming the music industry by offering new ways for artists to monetize their work and engage with fans. As this technology evolves, it promises to bring even more innovative solutions for music distribution and ownership.

↳ Character Name: Donald Keller

↳ Character’s Pronouns: he/him/his

↳ Occupation: TikTok Accountant

↳ Birthday: February 17, 1998

↳ Background:

Donald Keller, hailing from a small southern town, grew up in a tight-knit family with his fraternal twin brother and a single mother. Love and encouragement were the foundations of their small family unit, yet despite their shared upbringing, Donny and his brother couldn’t have been more different in personality.

Donny was the easy-going, social butterfly of the family, a party animal always up for trying new things. However, he wasn’t known for his intellectual pursuits; rather, he was an attention-seeker with a beloved pet ferret. In contrast, his brother was quiet, a bookworm with a tendency for anger issues and a judgmental nature, who happened to be a cat lover.

Their doting mother gave both boys immense love, but her attention naturally gravitated more towards the quieter, introspective brother, Sean. This consistent dynamic left Donny feeling overlooked and led to his sometimes extreme emotional reactions.

Much of Donny’s insecurities, however, stem from the early childhood trauma of their father abandoning the family when he was just three years old. This experience left him hesitant about sudden changes and highly sensitive to the possibility of friends turning their backs on him. He often felt jealousy towards those who stole the limelight from his loved ones.

Growing up, Donny cherished being the center of attention and continually honed his talents with aspirations of stardom. In his teenage years, he was certain that fame was his destiny. Although he hasn’t reached those heights, social media, particularly TikTok, provided him with the recognition he craved.

Throughout his childhood, Donny frequently attended theater camps, and worshops. However, when it came time for college, his mother’s financial limitations forced him to make a difficult choice. He opted not to attend college, allowing his brother to pursue higher education while he worked at a hotel and attended a local community college.

When the time came to transfer to a university, Donny still faced financial constraints. However, it’s worth noting that Donny was accepted into a couple prestigious performing arts schools. Despite these opportunities, he decided to embrace the life of a drifter, seeking adventures and experiences beyond the confines of traditional education.

His journey took him to diverse places, three memorable months in Alaska, before that an eight-month stay in Nebraska. Prior to that, he spent a year in Northern California. Thanks to his current job, Donny could now afford to move back to the Golden State, often seen as a land of opportunities.

In recent years, Donny’s life took an unexpected and exciting turn as he found success as a TikToker, using the platform to share messages of love and positivity with his engaged following. Also, it didn’t hurt that he’d post shirtless a lot of the time, and he showcased his adorable pet ferret any chance he got. It was through this growing online presence that he secured his current job, which he could accomplish simultaneously with his travels.

As he navigated this dynamic and ever-changing path, Donny wasn’t overly concerned about the future. He had learned to embrace the present moment and make the most of each experience, prioritizing the joy and adventure in every chapter of his life. His optimism and zest for life remained his guiding lights, ensuring that whatever destination awaited him next, he would face it with an open heart and a spirit of grand enjoyment.

↳ Para:

“Anyone want to go out of town with me, for the day?” Donny heard the question come from behind him. He turned to see a tall, beautiful girl with long wavy hair. How could he say no to her? Donny loved adventure, and he also loved beautiful girls.

“Yeah, I do, immensely pretty girl I’ve never met before.” He wasn’t a flirt by any means. He certainly wasn’t trying to flirt with the girl, because she was way out of his league, the type of girl who didn’t typically end up with a guy like him, no matter how good of a boyfriend he would be.

“Alright. Jump in.” Her car was expensive, but that didn’t faze Donny. He treated everyone the same. “Why are we going again?” he asked, already in the car, making himself comfortable.

“To do some shopping, spying, more shopping. You know, fun stuff.” Donny was getting more excited by the second. He simply shrugged off the mention of spying, as if it were just another item on their adventurous to-do list. “Oo. Alright. That’s what I signed up for!” He buckled up, threw on his favorite pair of sunglasses, and got ready for the adventure that awaited him.

He seemed to be the type of person who could dive headfirst into any escapade without getting too caught up in the details or potential consequences. Fun and adventure were what mattered most to him in that moment.

↳ Anything Else? Okay, so Donny’s pet ferret is named Maisei. He loves that animal more than anything in the entire world. His brother and mother don’t live in the area. Although, his brother did go to UC Berkeley. Donny will be new to town, and not know anyone. Hope that’s okay. Yes, I read them rules.

I think if you’re upfront with them. I don’t mean to lie to them. If they present it as a business opportunity then I think it’s fair game.

|

Agree if its between the celebs, but when you preach to your fans about honesty, being truthful and down to Earth then do this…Nah.

Thats why majority of Mendes Army left! Coz it was so uneaven with the image he made thru years and it ruined the foundation of what the connection was build on!

I don’t think Shawn can handle the business side of being an artist
