year-end sugar rush round up 🍭

it’s time for the last round up of 2023. we have made it through another year filled with clownery and love for the boys! as per my tradition in posting year end candy recaps, i am releasing early 31st cause i am gonna be busy with nye shows. i hope you enjoy looking through all the happiness the final month gave us. have a great new year’s eve everyone!!!

if you wanna look through the past months or year/s then go to this link. 🔗

i’m adding a little exercise to this post tho and ask you, what are your top 5 cpns of the year? please comment or reblog with your answers!

• The tattoo rumor resurfaces ( new clue? )

• Bowing to the crowd as thank you

• 13 fake rumors - from the vault

• potential wedding photoshoot and “superman can’t fly”

• not really cpn but a media account on tiktok posted a video of xz’s appearance in MBS. they used the tags related to xiao zhan for more views, but they included one that has wang yibo’s name on it. 😂 i know that they might have just chosen an already existing tag with xz and wyb name on it and forgot to edit it. but it’s still a funny incident.

• 12/3 ZSWW Fake Rumor ( pre singapore timeline )

• 12/4 fake story contribution ( wolf mates for life )

• Washing candies only make it sweeter

• An example of bjyx being an open secret ( sort of )

photos were going around of a yibo vcr played in a chanel annual meeting in china. we were all happy to see wyb lookin so good and fresh faced, but what we noticed is his top.

the style of top he was wearing (p1) is very similar to that of GG’s (p2) at the airport when he was flying back to Beijing. it’s probably because the weather is getting colder so they wear this instead of their usual esspensive t-shirts?

the point is it’s kind of like the same-style in a close timeframe from each other. so it seems like their tastes in casual clothes are still very close.

• 12/7/23 Candies ( GQ MOTY + XZS Singapore vlog)

• The GQ MOTY hat was a gift from XZ 🤍 // Part two : I have to say that this has become a favorite one among cpns and has become notorious since so/os from both sides are trying so desperately to wash it. those on xz’s side using rocco’s 227 kadian to dispute everything even if it was their fault they were called out while xz was busy working his ass of shooting LOCH. this is just a reminder that the celebrity is not equal to their fans. whatever drama both sides do to each other, has nothing to do with us and does not reflect the boy’s relationship. 🤍

• Coffee from Singapore CPN ☕️

• All the things that happened Monday Morning of 12/11 which includes the magazine covers, pants, xz going online for a moment etc.

• xiao zhan’s snowman ⛄️

• The fact that WYB was wearing the bone necklace tho hidden during his BAZAAR photoshoot. The ones in focus were of course Chanel, but those who pay attention will see it. A proof of how special it is. Imagine WYB being bare faced and only had stuff that he actually needs, and he decided to keep the necklace on.

• Not exactly CPN but more of a similarity i love to see. cause Shandong Satellite TV decided to air BAH right after SBMS! We love to see their works not only be shown in online platforms, but also in satellite TV stations.

• Candy Throwback : Alexander Mcqueen shoes, Nike off white & WYB’s missing mole

• 12/15 double attack of stock photos from XZS and YBO. The black and white theme! Anytime these two decide to give us some update is a happy day!

• Du Hua describes WYB’s looks as that of a rabbit

• Tencent Video All Star Night CPNs 💛

• 12/19 they both went back to Beijing. ZZ was in Shanghai to film and WYB also filmed CCTV stage. The thing is WYB started filming at 2:00 AM and then he was back at the airport to leave at 10:00 AM. They both arrived to BJ so close to each other. CPN is they tried really hard to be back home & be together that day ♥️

• throwback cpn : wyb prepares xz’s room in hengdian (2021)

• their studios posting so close together for winter solstice! tho wyb’s is a preview for his new single, ybo still greeted people.

• Winter solstice CPNs ( WYB’s song preview and GG’s photoset )

• Clowning about a possible secret message from a 9key code

• “Everything is lovely” similarity from xzs caption and yibo’s new single and more clues like a possible connection to an lrlg post & what looks like a rabbit and character for ox.

• black and yellow similarity!

• 12/26 WYB EP cpn post ( teaser lyrics )

• FAE : Free and Easy sweater

• Same style of editing between XZS and YBO who we all know are dating ☺️☺️☺️

• 12/28 candies

• Marie Claire x Xiao Zhan issue 🍭🍬

• Yibo’s new singles : Bystander & Everything is Lovely

• LRLG 12/30 translation and short commentaries

• LRLG responding to cpf comments

• Wang Wang Xianbei 😂😂😂😂

• Similar clothes and Participating in the same single for a nye song

That’s all for now, See you next year!!!! ❤️💛💚

Rúben Dias x Model!Reader- Life in Manchester Headcannons

Warnings: Slight reference to sexual activity at the end and possible eating disorder (nothing triggering)

Enjoy guys 😉

Part 2 to Rúben Dias x Reader- Meeting Headcannons

• You never intended to become one of the most popular Manchester City WAGS.

• When Rúben signed with Manchester City you agreed to return with him to the UK- to the place where your Portuguese mother and British father live.

• You knew Bernardo from Rúben playing for Portugal. When he started going out with Inês you became besties and now are attached at the hip.

• When Carlota was born you became the best auntie ever!

• Double dates with Bernardo and Inês

• You’re close with all the WAGS but especially with Olivia, Isabel and Sasha. Inês, Olivia, Isabel, Sasha and you are notorious for your fun nights out which end up with your boyfriends picking you up.

• On Instagram, style accounts appear where your outfits from photoshoots, Rúben’s matches and fan photos are posted.

• Attending every single home game at The Etihad, often with Inês but sometimes other WAGS join you.

• Wearing Rúben’s shirt or something in Man City blue to show your support.

• Rúben and you are often called relationship goals; the strong, commanding footballer and the beautiful, clever model.

• When City won the treble you were crying with happiness for Rúben and the team.

• When all the the family members went on the pitch at the Champions League, Rúben just picked you up and kissed you in front of the whole world before embracing his mum, dad and brother.

• ‘I’ve never been prouder of you Ruby’

• ‘Te amo meu amor’

• ‘também te amo, Rúben’

• Rubén’s UCL medal takes pride of place on the sideboard in your apartment with his many other awards/trophies.

• Behind his awards is a large framed photo of your first Vogue cover hanging on the wall.

• ‘If I can have my football awards then you can have your first big magazine cover on the wall Gatinha’

• You were present when Rúben threw up in Jack’s mums bag. You’ve got good blackmail material now 😂

• While Rúben doesn’t drink, you love a fancy cocktail or champagne to celebrate a new photoshoot campaign or magazine cover.

• Rúben tries to convince you to drink less, he means well but it sometimes annoys you

• You both eat extremely healthily and go to the gym most days but Rúben makes you look like a couch potato sometimes.

• He’s a bit of a food critic, your cheat days often consist of things like pot noodles or iced coffees. Rúben thinks it’s a waste of calories and that you should eat something that isn’t just caffeine and chemicals.

• Rúben is also a critic of the model diet. He thinks that you don’t eat enough and is often encouraging you to eat more and telling you off when you don’t.

• You’re pushing your food around your plate. Food that Rúben cooked. His eyes are focused on you from across the table.

• ‘Not hungry?’ His brown eyes gaze at you ‘have you already eaten?’

• ‘I had some almonds for breakfast’

• He frowns deeply ‘you know that isn’t healthy meu amor’

• He may disapprove of your eating habits but he won’t shout at you about it.

• When Rúben is doing ‘homework’ by watching certain football matches for upcoming games, you sit with him. His arm is around you, with you curled up into his side.

• It often leads to neck kisses which lead to…your bedroom 🥰

Hils Watches Lovely Runner - Ep 8

I knew he dug up the time capsule before they got rid of the tree!

Look at him rehearsing how to look chill. I love him

OH SHIIIIII! The serial killer is out of jail! Wait, how is he out of jail? And why is no one keeping tabs on him to make sure he doesn't go after Im Sol again?

Sometimes I forget that Korea is a very conservative country until a woman freaks out at the prospect of being alone in a hotel with a man. Can't possibly have sex when we're not married or even dating!

LMAO she gave this whole big speech that she has nothing against people who have casual sex but she has more traditional values and he let say all that and was like 'we're just going to the bar to have a drink'. I love them they are both so ridiculous.

So much for those conservative values 😂

I mean how bad can a gift from a gaming company be?

HAHA! I mean it could definitely be worse than a carboard cutout sexy video game girl

NOOOO! Don't hide it in your bed! Hide it under the bed! Or in the closet! Dude! This is not going to end well for you I can see it coming.

He thought it was funny when she was very insistent that she didn't want to have sex with him. Now he thinks she wants to and he's scandalised. Shoe's on the other foot now :D

Sunjae. Sunjae, that magazine you are pretending to casually read is upside down. Sunjae...

I'm not an idol who has to watch their weight so I'll just eat in front of you

Now he thinks she has legit prophetic dreams because when they were at school she told him she had a dream he got hurt and couldn't swim anymore, which then happened.

How did she manage to spill this much ramen all over her sweater and jeans. The bowl was pretty much empty when they showed it a couple of minutes ago

She is a tiny girl and you are a very tall man. I think it will definitely be too big

Not sure why he let her change in his bedroom after they made a big fuss about how it wasn't appropriate for her to be in a man's bedroom earlier. But also, LMAO, the time capsule he denied going to get because he was trying to be cool is right there on the table.

I AM WHEEZING! Dude, why did you use your entire duvet to cover the time capsule? Like what was the plan after that? Anyway, now his secret video game girl fetish has been exposed. They are both such disasters I love them so much.

I am such a sucker for 'accidentally falling on top of each other'. Even more if they accidentally fall into a kiss. It's so stupid but I never get tired of seeing it.

Oops. Busted.

Ah, so that's why she stopped seeing him. I totally get it she went through something incredibly traumatic. It's just sad that the person she loves and who loves her reminds her of that time.

Come on you need to tell him that you went too. You just arrived a bit late and missed him.

YAY!

YAY!

I legit keep forgetting about this dude

This is very random but it's nice to see someone working in a well lit office. So many kdramas have people working with just a tiny little desk lamp to see by and all the main lights are off for no reason

I'm assuming the sasaeng that Im Sol got mistaken for is going to become plot relevant at some point. God, is she going to try and kill Im Sol? Like she doesn't have enough problems with a serial killer already after her

Wait, am I supposed to know who this is? Im Sol looked really shocked when she saw her face

Why have you taken her out for dinner instead of calling the cops? Is it just because of how young she is?

OH SHIT!!

OMG was he after Sunjae this whole time?

[mostlyfate]

Would it be okay to ask you for jdrama recs? Coming from someone who hasn't watched a single jdrama in their life 😊 Kind of a jdrama starter pack please? ❤️

*sweats nervously once again* bc as I said before I honestly don’t like to rec things bc I think my taste is all over the place... 😂 and I'm not one who really pays attention or think about the faults of dramas. I just watch and enjoy (most of the time) lol. It also has only been almost four years for me with watching jdramas so I feel like I'm still pretty new to them haha. but I will try~ and what I mention is honestly more of ones I enjoyed the most watching and can remember!

okaaay! if you want to start out v short and sweet w some 🦋's i have two favorite drama specials 💘

— Tadashi Koi no Hajimekata (2023) | episodes: 01. genres: romance, youth. » there's only one episode but with two different versions! the name mentioned above is the first version and then tadashi koi no hajimekata: horoama? horoniga? date hen is the second version. it basically the same but shows the perspective of the two male leads with additional scenes! i just loved the pairing of mako and eita and their chemistry was soo good and fun. i am still v sad it wasn't an actual full length drama 😭 and the song that played at the end of date version was on repeat for months! 10/10 reccomend ✨

— An no Ririkku: Sakuragi An Haiku Hajimetemimashita (2021) | episodes: 02. genres: drama, youth. » i remember enjoying this one a lot it was definitely one of my favorite watches in 2021! since this one isn't the freshest in my memory (i have the worst memory fr) i can't say much but i swear i was obsessed w this special and the leads back in 2021!! 😆

before i get into mentioning actual full-length dramas i'll mention my two favorite jmovies that i actually physically own :)) so if you're interested in watching a movie before diving into dramas 💐

— Murder at Shijinso (2019) | duration: 2hr. 0 min. genres: horror, mystery, thriller, youth. » i love this dumb (affectionately) silly movie so much!! it might also be because i love the main actress hamabe minami but it's definitely just a fun murder mystery to watch :D

now for dramas!! i'll mention my two all time faves then ones i remember enjoying the most! 💐

— Talio Fukushu Daiko no Futari (2020) | episodes: 07. genres: comedy, law, mystery. » it's been three years since it aired and i'm still crying about it 😭 it's the one drama i never shut up about and think about all the time. it's my favorite drama of all time like nothing throughout the years has had a hold on me since!! (what i've previously said about it~) | the way both leads played off each other and their chemistry was just- a++ the soundtrack for the drama was also such a treat and the vibes matched it so well! the vibes of the whole drama though!! I think it was also shot beautifully. and the consistency (!!! the way they kept things going even the smallest details !!!) throughout was something i really appreciated and looked forward too :’) i really be missing it everyday... </3 | i literally have a talio collection that i finally completed a few months ago 🥹 i have the dvd, cd, vinyl, and the magazine the leads were on the cover of 🫶

— Itsuka, Nemuri Ni Tsuku Hi (2019) | episodes: 06. genres: fantasy, friendship, supernatural, youth. » this one still makes my heart hurt whenever i think about it and i just simply love it to pieces. it really has left an lasting impression on me. short and bittersweet. 🖤

dramas that are romance focused 💓

— Koi wa Tsuzuku yo Doko Made mo (2020) | episodes: 10. genres: comedy, medical, romance. » ahh so i think this was my first jdrama i watched!?! i honestly cant remember if i watched any before this bc this was the first jdrama i actually made gifs of so i'm going off of that as it being the first haha. but if you want something nice and fun to watch with romance at the forefront this is for youuu! bc i feel like most of my recs aren't romance heavy! and i just remember being obsessed with the leads and pretty sure it's what made me continue to watch jdramas 🫣

— Animals (2022) | episodes: 08 (+ 2 specials). genres: business, romance, drama. » loved loved loved this drama! one out of the five favorite dramas i watched in 2022!! great friendships, great message, funny and sweet moments, lovely lead— umi-chan i miss youuu. 🤧

— Kieta Hatsukoi (2021) | episodes: 10. genres: comedy, romance, youth. » high school setting with romance/friendship being the focus!! all the characters are so likable and it was such a cute and fun watch!!

— Ore no Kawaii wa Mousugu Shohikigen!? (2022) | episodes: 09. genres: comedy, romance. » easy fun and cute watch with great leads!!

dramas with all other kinds of genres (w hints of romance) ✨

— Toki wo Kakeru Bando (2020) | episodes: 10. genres: comedy, music, romance, sci-fi » #wasnt expecting any crying to happen going into this drama 😩 #miura shohei's performance though?? AMAZING #he had me in tears every time #ryo i love u #not that it's similar but this reminds me of itsuka nemuri ni tsuku hi 🤧 | tags from a post i posted when i watched yeah 😂

— Dr. White (2022) | episodes: 10 (+ 1 special). genres: comedy, drama, medical, mystery. » also another favorite from my five favorite dramas watched in 2022! even though it wasn't finished being subbed until last year i still very much enjoyed what eps i watched back then! like i really looked forward to every episode and soo grateful the subber decided to finish it and subbed the special as well! i might be bias because i love hamabe minami who's the female lead (and is in two other things i mentioned above lol) but all the characters are v likable and they all have great chemistry together! plus i enjoyed the v subtle hint of romance between the two mains like it isn't really there but it is and i was quite satisfied with the ending. 🫶

— Ryosangata Riko: Puramo Joshi no Jinsei Kumitate Ki (2022) | episodes: 10. genres: business, drama, life. » i adore the lead so much, she's the cutest! i find this one to be such a fun and relaxing watch! and there's a cute little hint of romance which was soo good to me and wish we got more of them. 😭 there's also a second season: Ryosangata Riko: Mou Hitori no Puramo Joshi no Jinsei Kumitate ki / with same cast members but set in a new universe that just aired last year!

— Okaeri Mone (2021) | episodes: 120. genres: life, drama, romance. » the number of episodes might scare you but this drama is an asadora (morning drama) which is only 15 minutes per episode! so if you're looking for a longer watch about life with a bit of romance i 10/10 recommend checking it out!! yes hello i always miss them 😭

what i'm currently watching ☕️

— Uchi no Bengoshi wa Te ga Kakaru (2023)| episodes: 11. genres: comedy, law, mystery. » i totally have a thing for law and mystery dramas lol. but i've been enjoying this one a lot and recommend if you want something fun but somewhat serious to watch! and if you just like law dramas like mee 😂

— Nanyobi ni Umareta no (2023) | episodes: 09. genres: drama » this one is keeping me really interested and is definitely a type of drama i haven't really watched much of?? it's engaging, surprising and the actors are great! i feel like most dramas i mentioned are easy going ones to watch besides a few so this one is the latter!

+ special mention if you wanted to watch something base on an manga w anime-like feel ❈

— Kishibe Rohan wa Ugokanai (2020 - 2022) | seasons: 03, episodes: 03, 03, 02. + a movie Rohan au Louvre (2023) genres: horror, fantasy, mystery, thriller, supernatural. » i had been watching since the first one came out in 2020 and i didn't think we would be getting a season every year since and then even a movie! definitely check out if you're in the mood for creepy mystery with pleasing visuals + great outfits!

yeaaah that's it from me! ✌️ i feel like this isn't much of a starter pack-friendly list since it's kind of all over the place sorry 😭 but hope even just one peaks your interest!!

[artsfavoritehorn]

Still thinking about the time on Halloween when I was out searching for the Fangoria magazine featuring T3 (mind you I was in my Art costume and I had nasty black tooth paint on so my mouth looked like an evil nasty dark void) and when I finally found it I sauntered up to the counter with it and felt so bad for the poor teenage girl working the check out- just imagine working and the store is empty and it's dark out on Halloween night and then a nasty looking clown walks up to you and plops a magazine down on the counter with said clown on the cover 🥲😂🤡🤘🤘

Even though I look INSANE I feel like I need to have photo context with this so you can see exactly what that poor girl would've seen coming towards her LMAOO just imagine you look up and see this bitch sauntering towards you:

(This was towards the end of the night so some of the black paint on my mouth was starting to disappear lol and I still don't have the headpiece or top hat yet but I do have the black tooth paint which I think is the most important, it really makes or breaks the whole vibe of the look imo🤡🤡🤡🤘🤘)

(I really do have that blue-eyed stare though like DAMN we see you babe 👁️👄👁️- I'm kinda serving T3 eyes without the contacts though I kinda slayed ngl🤪)

Night Shift | Craig x Kenny

AAA chapter two is heeeere its mostly silly fun before we actually start the fake dating part hehe pls enjoy (and check it out on ao3 for better formatting pls)

AO3 Link | 4k words | Chapter 2/?

Craig and Kenny strike a deal.

Craig has never been a morning person, but recently, it feels like every force in the world is trying to keep him in bed.

There’s the brief, near blissful moment when he’s just woken up. He can barely hear his alarm, the sleep not quite shaken off yet, unaware of what the day brings. Then, inevitably, his first thought washes over him; Tweek dumped you.

Just knowing that this is going to weigh on him all day is exhausting to think about. He doesn’t waste time wondering what he did wrong or how to best avoid the other anymore. The exhaustion comes from knowing that Tweek’s absence is just something he has to deal with now, every damn day.

Before, the habit of trying to beat his boyfriend to the first ‘good morning’ text motivated him to get up. But lately, he always spends a few minutes letting his alarm ring out, trying to delay his day for as long as possible. But, then his phone begins to buzz to life, and he knows he can’t ignore the real world any more.

On this particular morning, the urge to pull the covers over his head is particularly strong. Not only did he work late last night, but the fact that he looked like an idiot in front of Kenny is also hanging over his head. Craig groans, recalling their bizarre interaction.

“You wanna be my boyfriend?” He had asked.

Kenny looked bewildered, a mixture of surprise and concern on his face. But, before Craig could even go back on his question, Kenny replied, “Like, for money?”

Unable to bear the look on the other’s face, Craig turned away, pulling out a pack of Kenny’s usual cigarettes. “No, that would be stupid,” he stammered out. “I’m being stupid, fuck. Here, I can-” He took the magazine that Kenny had been holding and scanned it along with the Camels. Finally, he looked back up at the blonde. “Anything else?”

Kenny’s brows knit together as he looked at Craig. His lips were pursed together, shifting around his face like he was trying to talk without opening his mouth. “No,” he said after some pause, drawing out the word. “That’s it.” Kenny slid a few bills across the counter, not looking away from Craig as he took his items.

Craig thought that if tried to speak again, he would say something even worse than what he already had, so he simply nodded.

Kenny headed towards the door, shooting Craig an awkward glance back just before he left. “Take care of yourself, man.”

Craig rolled over onto his stomach, pressing his face deep into the pillow in an effort to stop his brain from playing the memory over and over again. When that didn’t work, he turned his head to the side, grabbing his phone from the nightstand and finally turning off his alarm.

He squints as the screen lights up, serving as the only light source in his room. There are two notifications from Clyde, one sent around 2AM linking a YouTube video called “BAD DAY Better Watch This 😂 1 Hour Best Funny & Fails” and another sent 20 minutes ago, asking “Tolkien had to make up a test please pLEASE can u drive me today PLEASE?????”

Craig gives the message a thumbs down and ignores the typing bubble that immediately appears (he’ll end up driving Clyde, of course, he just wants to fuck with him first). His next notification is a Snapchat message from “kmck69,” a username he doesn’t recognize until he opens the message.

kmck69: were u being serious b4

kmck69: it is a rlly stupid idea 

kmck69: but also im down if ur down

Craig reads the messages, then reads them again just to make sure he’s not hallucinating. As an added measure, he checks the user’s last story and, sure enough, it’s a selfie of Kenny holding a beer, Cartman lurking in the background, with the caption “5 screenshots and i piss in cartmans drink.”

Once Kenny had left last night, Craig had spent the last hour of his shift overthinking every detail of their interaction. He didn’t even know where his bizarre idea had come from, it had just slipped from his mouth before it was fully-formed. Hearing that Tweek was out hanging around with some goth kid infuriated him beyond words or logic. The only coherent thought Craig could form about it was that something had to change. He didn’t want to keep rotting in his bed, head swimming with thoughts about his ex. He just wanted to do something.

Asking Kenny to pretend to be his boyfriend was just the first idea that came to mind.

He hadn’t expected the other to even justify him with a response beyond their uncomfortable conversation. But, apparently, Kenny was mulling it over until nearly 4 in the morning when he texted, which is far more thought than Craig put into it.

It’s a stupid idea. He knows it is, they both know it is. But, it’s something.

spacemancraig: Yeah I’m down

He stares at his screen for a moment, quickly feeling the prickle of anxiety in his chest. It’s useless to sit and wait for a response, so he puts his phone down and pulls himself out of bed. The second he actually rises from his mattress, his phone buzzes to life, and Craig almost drops the device in how quickly he grabs it.

(Clyde) Literally I’m already ready I won’t hold you up I’ll even buy you starbucks or whatever gay shit you like

(Clyde) PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

(Clyde) I’m sorry for calling you gay and starbucks gay bro PLEASE don’t make me walk

He sighs, typing out a quick response before he puts the phone down for real.

(Craig) Fine

—-----

Kenny stumbles into Chemistry three minutes after the bell, handing their teacher a crumbled-up excuse note before shuffling to his seat. It’s not uncommon for him to be late, and normally Craig would pay it no mind. However, normally he’s not anxiously waiting for a Snapchat from the other. 

Craig can’t take his eyes off him, his notes trailing off as he drowns out the voice of their teacher. He’s not sure whether Kenny’s changed his mind and is brushing him off, or genuinely just oblivious of the holes Craig is staring into the back of his head. The blonde just rummages through his bag and pulls out a few sheets of paper, not even sparing Craig a glance back. 

Somehow, in every class he finds himself staring at the back of a blonde’s head. He wonders if he might be the problem.

At first, Kenny just chews on his eraser and passes notes to Kyle sitting beside him. But, after a few minutes of this, he turns and locks eyes with Craig. Before Craig can even try to communicate something quietly across the row separating them, Kenny turns away again, and Craig wants to throw his textbook at the other’s head. Before he can, though, he feels his phone buzz to life in his pocket.

kmck69: we have 2 talk abt it obv

kmck69: do u have work 2nite

Craig rolls his eyes as he reads the messages, unsure as to why Kenny needs to use the least amount of characters possible when he texts.

spacemancraig: No

kmck69: cool well i do

kmck69: im at the bijou from 4 to 12

kmck69: if u want free popcorn tho u can come after 10

kmck69: thats when concession closes so its kinda old but tbh still good

spacemancraig: Yeah I think I’ll pass on the stale popcorn

spacemancraig: But I’ll come by

kmck69: ur loss

kmck69: word tho

kmck69: also cute username lmao

Craig’s face scrunches up as he reads the text, glancing up to look at Kenny. The blonde looks back at him, flashing a smile, and Craig just flips him off in response.

kmck69: ooh rawr ur so scary and mean

kmck69: can u leave me alone im trying 2 learn >:(

He wants to retort that Kenny was the one who started it, but typing that feels incredibly childish. Instead, Craig rolls his eyes and tucks his phone away, looking back up at the lesson.

—------

There are a lot of points today when Craig’s wondered when his life took a wrong turn. Losing sleep over a conversation with someone he has never really given a shit about, feeling like shit the entire morning waiting on a message from the aforementioned someone, and now, he’s at South Park’s lamest and only movie theater at 10PM on a Thursday. 

Maybe it wasn’t just a wrong turn, maybe it’s an eighteen-year downward spiral and he’s just getting closer to rock bottom.

The Bijou is, of course, dead. Craig only goes when they randomly decide to screen something from the Criterion Collection. He and his friends used to hang around the place more often, but then Tolkien got a home theater and every movie started being available to stream, and they didn’t have to secretly spike their slushies in the Black household. Now, the only people that frequent The Bijou are the elderly and his 15 year old sister, for some reason.

He decided to wait until 10PM to go. Not because Kenny made the stale popcorn sound appetizing, but he figured the later he went, the less likely he was to run into someone he knew. He parks his car a few blocks down the street and walks to the theater, hands tucked in the pocket of his hoodie. The marquee has been defaced, as per usual, and just reads “PENIS” followed by the scrambled extra letters from whatever movie title it once said. How original.

The ticket booth is empty, and when he steps inside, the theater is just as deserted as he expected it to be. Craig isn’t exactly sure of his next move as he lingers by the entrance, looking around. Just walking into the theater without a ticket to look for Kenny feels wrong, but so does just standing around awkwardly. Before he can choose, though, someone speaks behind him.

“I’m sorry, sir. We’re not selling any more tickets to our last screening- Oh, Craig?” Chirps a voice from the concession stand. Craig turns, coming face-to-face with Butters. The other boy smiles at him, far too brightly considering the two of them are not friends. The most they’ve interacted in all of high school is the rare occasion that Craig visits the Bijou, in which he affords Butters a small head nod as a greeting if they meet eyes. 

“Hey, Butters,” Craig says. “Is Kenny around?”

Almost comically, Butters cocks his head to the side. “Kenny? I didn’t know you two were friends!”

An abrupt silence comes between them, and Craig just waits for Butters to tell him where his coworker is. However, the blue-eyed boy just looks at him with a quizzical expression on his face, and Craig realizes he’s waiting for a confirmation.

“Uh, sure,” Craig mumbles after a moment. “Friends. Friendly, I guess. So, where is he?”

Butters beams at his answer, starting to wipe the countertop he’s standing behind down as he responds. “That’s so nice. He needs friends who won’t get him into trouble, you know? And he was just talking about you the other day.”

“He was?” Craig asks, but before Butters can elaborate, the two are interrupted.

“Craig!” Shouts Kenny from across the theater. Clad in a button-down, black skinny jeans, a red vest and matching bow-tie, he looks starkly different than he did this morning. The almost formal outfit doesn’t look quite right on him, and Craig realizes he’s never seen Kenny in something that wasn’t two sizes too large. When the blonde arrives at the concession stand, he’s grinning, looking at Craig so excitedly that the dark-haired boy has to turn his face away.

“It’s me, don’t cream your jeans,” Craig says, earning a little snicker from Butters. 

“I’ll sure as hell try,” Kenny replies, not sounding nearly as sarcastic as Craig. “I was starting to think you were bailing. It’s late, man.” As he speaks, he lifts himself onto the concession counter and sits, dangling his legs.

Butters frowns, putting his hands on his hips (Craig didn’t know that people did that in real life, but it suits Butters’ cartoonish mannerisms). “Aw, Kenny. I was just wiping that down.”

Kenny rolls his eyes, swinging his legs around to the other side of the counter and hopping off. “Happy?” He asks his coworker, who lets out a little puff of air in response and returns to his cleaning. Kenny shoots Craig a funny look, and Craig feels like he’s missing something. “As you can see, Butters and I take a lot of pride in this establishment.”

“That sounds awfully insincere, Kenny,” Butters grumbles, mostly to himself. “I do take pride in this establishment.”

It’s pretty weird to watch Kenny and Butters interact like this. They’re both oddballs in their social circles, especially Butters, and he can’t help but feel a bit out-of-place talking to them, especially outside of school. Craig absent-mindedly slides his phone from his pocket, checking the screen, just out of habit.

“Got somewhere to be?” Kenny asks, and when Craig looks up, the other is staring right at him, of course. He’s holding one of the soft drink cups, filled to the brim with popcorn.

Craig tucks his phone away. “You were serious about the stale popcorn?”

“It’s just gonna get thrown out,” Kenny says, popping a few kernels in his mouth. “Did you want some?”

Craig narrows his eyes in suspicion, responding with an unsure hum. One time, in the 5th grade, he saw Kenny pick up an earthworm from the sidewalk and swallow it whole. He did it, of course, for five bucks from Clyde, but Craig still doesn’t trust his taste.

Kenny rolls his eyes, opening up the machine to fill another cup. “Don’t be a princess. It’s still good. Right, Butters?” Kenny asks as he slides past his coworker, crossing to Craig’s side of the counter. 

“Oh, I don’t like to eat the popcorn much,” Butters replies, attending to the machine once Kenny’s done with it. “I gotta smell it all day, then clean the machine, scrape all the burnt pieces. I used to think movie theater popcorn was one of the yummiest smells, but now it doesn’t really get my tummy rumbling.”

Talking to Butters is weird, Craig thinks. He’s not sure if he’s ever heard anyone else use the phrase ‘tummy rumbling’ in his life. He glances at Kenny, who seems entirely unphased by the other’s weird expressions. 

“Yeah, okay,” Kenny says with a small shrug. He hands one of the popcorn cups to Craig, who takes it reluctantly. “I don’t know why I asked him.”

“Not that this isn’t thrilling,” Craig says, turning fully to Kenny. Butters is pretty engaged with his cleaning, but Craig doesn’t need him hearing any part of this conversation, so he speaks low. “Can we talk now?”

Kenny lets out an amused puff of air. “Butters, I’m gonna go do theater checks” he says, not taking his eyes away from Craig. “Craig’s coming with me.”

“You better not just be sneakin’ him into the movie for free, Kenny,” Butters grumbles, but his coworker is already walking away, waving a hand dismissively. Craig spares Butters an awkward glance before following behind Kenny.

“You do that often?” Craig asks.

“What? Sneak people in?” Kenny replies. He shoots a look back at Butters, making sure he isn’t listening before he continues. “Not all the time. I’m not really into losing this job.”

Right, Craig thinks, Kenny actually needs this job. The thought makes him a bit uncomfortable, that Kenny has to put in the hours at a shitty movie theater to pay for things he actually needs. Meanwhile, Craig works so he can get out of the house and have some spending money.

Kenny glances behind them, then slides a vape out of his pocket and hits it. He turns his head to the side, courteous enough not to blow smoke right at Craig, though not enough to pick a less obnoxious flavor.

“Sorry,” Kenny says, noticing how Craig wrinkles his nose at the scent. “Butters doesn’t like it either, probably because it’d get us in trouble.”

“So you don’t care enough about this job to not vape?” Craig asks.

This time, Kenny blows the cloud right in his face. “Be nice to me, Tucker. I let your sister sneak in here all the time.”

Craig pauses, taking a second to process what Kenny just said. “You what?”

Kenny stops too, poking his head into the closest screening room as he speaks. “Yeah, she comes by a lot. Here, this one’s empty,” he steps into the theater, holding the door open so Craig can follow. It’s a bit odd-looking inside. It’s not often he sees empty theaters with the lights on, especially not clean ones. Kenny takes a seat in a nearby row, throwing his legs over the chairs as he munches on his popcorn. “Don’t worry, no one’s gonna hear us. I cleaned this one an hour ago, and I’ve only had to kick out people who stayed after a movie like, three times, so we’re good.”

Craig takes a seat a few spots away from Kenny, giving the other room to sprawl out. “Why did they stay?”

“Sometimes they just fall asleep. One time there was a couple fucking, though. That was pretty sweet. In that row over there,” Kenny points behind him, a smirk on his face.

Craig blinks and wonders what ever happened to the Kenny he went to elementary school with, the one who rarely spoke except for the occasional dirty joke. Focus, Craig.

“Uh, so about last night,” Craig begins, straightening up a bit in his seat. Kenny mirrors him, showing that he’s listening. “I was just talking without thinking. It is a really fucking dumb idea.”

“But you showed up to talk about it,” Kenny notes.

Craig sighs. “Yeah, I did. Because I’m really fucking dumb. And I’m sick of the sympathy from my dumb friends. And you said you’d be down.” Kenny just looks at him, and Craig finds himself talking just to avoid the awkward silence. “If you’re not anymore though, that’s fine. There’s no pressure or anything.”

“I’m still down,” Kenny says with a small nod. “As long as I’m paid for my time. God, I sound like a hooker.”

“You’re not a hooker,” Craig adds a bit too quickly. “We don’t need to actually do anything, I don’t think.”

“So what do I have to do?”

Craig doesn’t answer for a moment. Apparently, this tells Kenny all he needs to know.

“Oh, so you really didn’t think this through, huh?” Kenny makes an odd clicking sound with his tongue, shaking his head. Craig thinks he’s trying to be funny, but it’s not helping how embarrassing the conversation feels. “Okay, Craig. If you want Tweak to take you back, what do you think would really get him all pissed off and hot and jealous?”

“Hang on-” Craig sits up a bit, raising a hand as Kenny speaks. “I’m not trying to get him back.”

“You’re not?”

Craig opened his mouth, but words couldn’t quite seem to come out. Was he trying to get Tweek back? There were plenty of couples in South Park that broke up only to come back together. In fact, he’d stop getting hopeful when Bebe and Clyde would split, as it was inevitable they’d be sucking face again within a week. But, he’d never thought about that possibility for him and Tweek. They didn’t break up because of a fight or mistake or something stupid. Honestly, Craig still couldn’t quite pin why they had broken up. All he knew is that Tweek didn’t want to be with him anymore. The thought of trying to get his ex to change his mind and take him back hadn’t even occurred to him, and right now, it just sounded pathetic.

“Jeez, I didn’t know that would be such a tough question,” Kenny muses, bringing Craig out of his thoughts. “It’s fine if you want him back, man. I don’t judge.”

“I don’t” Craig says, maybe a bit too assertively as it makes Kenny lean a bit further away from him. “He doesn’t want to be together, whatever. I’m not gonna try to trick him into getting back with me. I just want people to know I’m cool about it.”

Kenny makes a little high-pitched hum, his face scrunching up. He takes another hit of his vape, looking thoughtful as he does so (as thoughtful as someone hitting a neon green cylinder can). “Okay,” he says, blowing out smoke. “We’ll make everyone think we fucked.”

“What the fuck- Kenny,” Craig stammers out, shaking his head as he speaks. “How would we even, who would fall for that? What’s that even gonna do?”

Kenny leans forward again, resting his arms on the arm of the chair and once again being too close to Craig’s personal space. “No, Craig, listen. This is one of my better ideas. If you immediately start dating some dude, everyone’s gonna think it’s a rebound and people know I’m not really the dating type. It’ll be weird, someone’s gonna see through it because I’m not not gonna hook up with someone else. But- if people think we just fucked, they’ll be like, ‘Wow Craig moved on and he doesn’t give a fuck and he’s so cool,’ which is your goal, right?”

Craig stares at Kenny, wide eyed, and Kenny stares right back. It’s impossible to focus on what the blonde is saying with that eager look in his eyes, like some kind of dog waiting for a treat. However, when Craig actually does start to process the idea, he realizes Kenny’s making some good points. Kenny raises his brows, still waiting for a reply. Craig lets out a sigh, looking up at the theater ceiling. “Fuck. That’s- Yeah, that’s a good plan.”

“I know!” Kenny starts drumming his fingers along the side of the seat, and Craig can tell he’s beaming without even looking at him. “I want sixty-five.”

Now, Craig looks back down at Kenny, who is making a face like that wasn’t a ridiculous thing to say. “Bucks? You want sixty-five dollars?”

“Cash,” Kenny adds. The two just stare at each other for a moment because every time Craig looks at Kenny, apparently Kenny’s already looking at him. 

“I’ll give you forty,” Craig offers, hoping his tone sounds firm enough to stop any further negotiation.”

“Deal,” Kenny finally leans back in his seat and Craig feels like he can actually breathe again. If they’re gonna do this, he needs to talk with Kenny about personal space. And maybe that god awful vape flavor too. Shit, they’re actually doing it. 

Craig nods before his brain fully catches up, like he’s convincing himself this is real life. “Okay, yeah. Deal. Wow.”

Kenny glances over at him. “You good? You can’t back out now. We said deal.”

Craig is still nodding, rubbing his palms on his thighs. “We’re good. I just didn’t really think you’d say yes. I don’t, uh, have much of a plan.”

Kenny puts his hand on Craig’s shoulder, giving it a little squeeze. “Don’t worry your pretty little head about it, dude. ‘Cause I already have a plan.”

“My head’s not-” he starts, then lets out a breath, pinching the bridge of his nose. “What’s the plan?”

Kenny stands, looking back down at Craig with a grin. “If there’s one thing I know, it’s how to get people talking about my sex life. And lucky for you, I have just the party to get this rumor started.” Kenny rubs his hand on a chair, then sticks it out for Craig. “You trust me, dude?”

Looking up at the blonde, the sheer dumb confidence on his face, his stupid uniform bowtie, there’s no way Craig should feel at ease. But, he has forty bucks and his reputation on the line, and Kenny might just be the best shot he has at escaping his current hellhole situation. Craig stands, gripping Kenny’s hand.

“Fuck it,” he says. “I trust you, let’s do this.”

“Are there any other details you can give me - so I can have a better idea exactly 🤔”

Well I was thinking pure smut. 😂

But perhaps it could be a cross parallel to Distant Thunder and TKK3 — in that Daniel is visiting in an attempt to reconnect with his estranged father when Terry sees him and takes him.

He at first tries to trick Daniel into going with him but he’s not falling for it. So he has to take him by force.

Like TKK3, Daniel escapes him after a few weeks, finds his way home and tries to forget what happened to him. Calls the cops of course but not much they can do.

It ends with Terry deciding his boy only left because he isn’t made for forest living. So he does something he swore he’d never do: he reintegrates himself into society and city life — just for his boy. Because he won’t let him go.

Turns out he is Terry Silver, the billionaire who went AWOL over ten years ago for reasons no one could figure out.

Imagine Daniel’s shock when he sees an extremely polished and well groomed Terry Silver on the cover of a magazine three years after his ordeal.

Pure smut?! 

What kind of blog and writer do you take me for 😂 

I am shocked and appalled 😳 scandalized even! 

I ended up sticking more to the first? response to the original ask

PS Would love it if there’s a scene in which after being taken Daniel comes to in Terry’s cabin (and bed) dressed only in one of Terrys shirts — with this very large and very scary looking man looming near.

Your idea above was brilliant but nothing was coming to mind but this story did when I looked at the other response.

So I hope this will still suffice.

The weather had come up out of nowhere.

Daniel had wandered off from the path he normally took to find more berries. The yield hadn’t been great this year and the bushes he normally picked form had been cleaned off all viable berries. He had wanted to make more jam upon returning back to their home, perhaps store it for the winter. 

So engrossed in what he was doing, only looking up as the sky suddenly darkened before realizing he had lost his bearings, not entirely sure of where he was or how far off the path. Then the rain had started, and he had become even more disoriented.

This is LONG and NSFW

Quickly becoming soaked to the bone and so very cold. Luckily he found a cave, some shelter from the weather.  

Daniel hoped he would be able to find his way back, once the rain stopped, because no one would be looking for him; no one would know he was missing. His father was off god knows where. Until such a time, when the weather broke enough to venture back out, he sat in the cave, back to the wall, hugging his knees for warmth.

A loud noise wakes him, and he manages to scramble back in enough time to not be crushed by the rocks that fall down, blocking off the front of the cave; blocking off his freedom.

He starts to walk, nothing else to do. He certainly can’t move any of those rocks. Luckily enough, when he reaches the other side of the cave there is a smaller entrance. His luck seems to have run out though as when he edges out and looks down, and what he sees is a sharp embankment down. 

Still, he can’t go back into the cave and hope for another exit. Making it here through the almost pitch dark cave was frightening enough, and painful. He knows he’s covered in bruises from all the falls in the dark. He’s also beyond freezing now, chilled to the very bone, his clothes stuck to him. He realizes now, that maybe the rock slide had been good thing. 

The cold settled into his body, however, proves to be his undoing. His hands and feet are too numb to hold onto anything on his attempt to descend and he quickly looses his footing. 

That turns into falling down the rocky side before hitting his head hard enough that he lies stunned, his ears ringing and eyesight blurry. 

Daniel thinks he sees though, when he looks up, a figure. An extremely tall figure coming down the way he just fell, fast approaching him, and a sort of terror invades his chest, but before he can truly get caught up in it, darkness envelopes him. 

Terry makes his way down quickly - hoping the boy isn’t too hurt. Even from here Terry can see the small body isn’t moving.  

Terry had been out checking traps and while he could tell weather was coming, he too was surprised by how quick it had started, figuring he had more time. 

He had also taken refuge in the cave, although he had come in the back way. When he heard the footsteps reverberating through the cave, getting closer and closer, Terry had hidden out of view, unsure of what was coming, although he could tell the steps were light.

Terry had watched as he made his way out and over the side, and then as the boy lost his footing and fell.

The boy who is currently not moving. Terry bends down, putting a hand under his nose, grateful when he feels faint breath and then checks the pulse.

Steady and sure. Terry is sure he has knocked himself out cold is all, and will wake with a hell of a headache.  

Checking to make sure nothing seems broken or that he’s too injured to move, although it’s not like Terry can leave him out here. If the elements didn’t get him, there were plenty of things out here that would consider him a tasty morsel.   

Terry himself does, just not in the same way. The boy is beautiful, beyond beautiful he realizes now that he can clearly see his face. Terry’s had only himself for company for quite some time, but still, the boy is safe in his hands. 

He let’s out a painful moan when Terry applies pressure to his left wrist so he is extra careful as he easily picks him up, surprised at how little he weighs, cradling him close as he walks back to his cabin as fast as he can without jostling the boy too much. 

They arrive back ar Terry’s cabin. His home. 

First thing is first; his clothes are not only ruined but he’s soaked, and he is freezing cold. 

Sitting him down on a chair in the bedroom, the limp body against his, his face smushed against Terry’s chest as he divests him of his wet clothes. 

Next checking for any cuts or bruises. For that though, Terry moves him onto the bed, laying him there so he can spread out the boy’s arms and legs. 

Bruises cover him, all fresh from the fall, but nothing feels broken when he presses in, just more pained moans. The few cuts he finds aren’t worrisome, save a couple, so he goes outside into his garden picking the right plants to make a a salve - even small cuts can get infections that can turn bad fast. 

Next Terry wraps the wrist. He’s sure it’s not broken just badly sprained. 

Extra blankets from the closet are fetched to help warm him up, Terry tucks him in tight.

Grabbing extra wood, Terry builds the fire in the room, larger than normal before grabbing the rock from under the bed, placing it close to the fire.

Once that’s warm, Terry wraps it in a towel, testing to make sure it isn’t too hot, should he come into contact with it, before placing it on the bed with the boy to help warm him. 

The cabin is well made and insulted, Terry had been the one who built it, but this will help. 

In the next hour Terry comes in twice, checking his fingers and toes. Satisfied by the now healthy pink of them, when before the nail Ed’s had begun to turn blue, he moves the rock from the bed, but keeps the blankets tight to keep the heat in. 

Terry returns to the kitchen to finish the soup he had started. 

Daniel wakes, so damn warm he’s sweating. He tries to move but realizes he’s trapped in the blankets.

Blankets, he thinks. What? He remembers the cave and falling down a hill. Why is he in a bed?

A bed that is also not his. This much he knows, even if the room is dark. The window offers the only small amount of light coming in, although it’s only coming from the moonlight shining in.

The door creeks open slowly, and he holds his breath, wondering if he should feign sleep. 

Now more room light comes from the candle the man is holding, and Daniel can see, from the little light it gives that the man is huge - taking up most of the doorway. 

“Good, you’re awake. I was starting to worry.” Terry had been dozing himself, out in the room, and had heard the noises of someone stirring. 

Daniel really doesn’t know what to say to that except, “where am I?” He hopes he kept his voice steady. Strange men are not to be trusted. 

“My cabin. You had a nasty fall and hit your head. You remember?”

Daniel nods.

“You found me?”

“Yes.”

“And you brought me back here.”

“No one would have survived out there in this. Especially in your condition.”

“Thank you,” he says although still a bit weary. 

Finally managed to have loosened the blankets enough to wriggle himself free enough to sit up he does, although his head swims. 

“Careful now.” The man approaches, sitting on the edge of the bed. “Try not to move so fast.”

“Good advice,” Daniel smiles. He notices then, a too big shirt hanging off him. He’s also pretty sure he has no underwear on. 

“Where are my clothes?”

“Still drying. You were pretty wet and very cold.”

Not like he could be put in the bed wet, he thinks. Still, that means the man …. 

“Are you hungry? There is some soup I can heat.”

He doesn’t think he is, but if on cue, his stomach rumbles at the mention of food.

“I’ll take that as a yes, then.” 

When he returns however, the boy is asleep, head turned to the side against the pillow he rests on, clutching the blankets to his chest.

Terry fixes the blankets around him more securely, but taking in the sweat of his forehead and flush of his cheeks, removes the extras. 

He stands in the doorway, compelled to watch as the boy’s chest rises and falls. It’s been so long since there has been another body in his bed. So long since he’s held someone, and his arms remember the feel of this beautiful boy in his.

He closes the door gently, only the sound of the click on the still air in the cabin. 

Terry realizes, as he settles back on the couch that he didn’t think to ask the boy’s name. 

——————————

The next day he seems well enough to join Terry for breakfast in the kitchen, and Terry finally introduces himself, learning the boy’s name as well. 

Daniel had tried to put his clothes on that morning but they were ruined from the fall. He ended up wearing some of Terry’s old clothes that he never threw out. 

“Glad I didn’t now,” the older man had remarked laying them down for Daniel. 

So if Daniel even if they are a bit roomy.

“They’ll do until we can you back at least.”

Daniel offers to do the washing up but with his wrist wrapped it would not be wise. He does however dry the dishes, leaving them on the little wooden island for Terry to put away.

Terry pretty much avoids him after, giving him space, sensing he is a bit weary, and that night he shows Daniel how the bedroom door locks from the inside before going to the couch. 

He is far too big for it but insists Daniel take his bed. 

“All we need is for you to hurt your wrist more than it already is.”

The next few days he starts to relax, sensing the genuine kindness in the man. The man always seems to be making himself smaller for Daniel, bending down or leaning close. Trying to make his sheer size less intimidating. 

They chat about their lives and everything in between.

Terry finds out the while still young, the boy is older than Terry had suspected, having just graduated. 

He relays the issues with his father and how while what had happened had brought them together, his father was once more gone for months on end. 

How lonely the time between is for him.

Terry realizes, for the first time, how lonely he too has become. 

The boy brings him company and an easy companionship he told himself he no longer needed, and he dreads already, having to give the boy up. 

Luckily though, the rain doesn’t let up. It hammers the land relentlessly. For days.

The flooding prevents him from returning Daniel back to his home, as promised. There is a river they must cross and it is just not safe. 

In the meantime they fall into a sort of routine. Terry refuses to call it domestic. 

A week passes in this companionable union they have created and Terry finally deems his wrist well enough to undo the bindings. 

Daniel takes more chores on, and insists on taking the couch now that he is, “fully healed.”

Up until now, Terry would not hear tell of Daniel  sleeping anywhere but the bed, no matter how much the boy protested. 

“I’ve been taking your bed from you.”

“You were injured.”

“Well, I’m not now.” He waves his arm in front of the older man’s face. 

Terry gently catches it, putting it to Daniel’s side. 

“I do not mind sleeping out there.”

“Terry would don’t even fit in the thing.”

“Your comfort and continued recuperation are more important.”

“I’m recuperated. We’ve been over this.”

The boy crosses his arms, heavy pout in place on his face and Terry sighs. 

“How about we share?”

Fair enough Daniel thinks. Besides, it would be like when he was younger and his friends were on sleepovers. 

Another week passes and they both go to the river to check it’s progress and Terry can tell the water rose over the embankment and did damage beyond.

When they return home he fishes out the old radio as Daniel starts cutting vegetables they had farmed from Terry’s garden earlier in the day, cleaning the rabbit from his traps as Terry had taught him. 

“What are you doing?” Daniel asks, wiping his hands as he does so. 

“Old radio. Hopefully it still works.”

Terry had given up keeping on top of the news of the nearby town and the world in general. 

He does go into town a couple times a year, to get supplies when necessary. A few pelts of fur and he can easier get what he needs if he cannot obtain it with his own two hands.  sometimes he’ll catch up on the news there but for the most part finds he can no longer be bothered. 

The static crackles as Terry fiddles with the antenna and adjusts the knobs to find the right frequency. Surprising himself that he remembers the right frequency for the local station.

They sit through the music until the news comes on and it is confirmed that the river had flooded the surrounding area and flooded it badly. 

The easiest, and safest route back has been washed out. With summer on its way out, fall fast approaching, and the weather is always colder this deep in the woods, there are no plans to make it passable until after winter.  

“That’s that then,��� Daniel says but he won’t meet Terry’s eye.

He returns to the kitchen, and Terry frowns. Daniel has been taking to life out here like a duck to water, Terry was sure of it. But then again, Maybe Terry has been deluding himself about that though.

“Wash up,” Daniel says. “Food’s almost ready.”

They sit in silence for nearly the entire meal. Such an odd thing - Terry can normally not even get a word in edgewise with Daniel around. 

“Are you going to be alright? Your supplies … with me here?” He asks finally breaking that silence. 

“Is that what was bothering you?” He rumbles, relief going through him. It’s not that Daniel is desperate to leave this place, leave Terry. He’s just concerned. 

“Well, you like planning and I sure wasn’t planned for.”

This is true but Terry always over prepares for winter. Better than being under prepared. He learned that the hard way in the beginning. 

“I have more than enough. I will always make sure you have what you need.”

This is also true - the boy has become very important to Terry, and very quickly at that. 

“You’re not just saying that, are you?”

“Come with me.”

Terry shows him the room off the cabin with a freezer full and then the old root cellar and all the stored food. 

Next is the wood, which, if need be, he could cut more during the winter on those drier days. The drums of gas to run the generator. 

“Truth be told, I’m happy for the company. The winter can be,” he chooses his words carefully, “very lonesome.”

“Well, I can help with that.” Daniel smiles.

Terry knows he can. He has been. Without even knowing it. 

That night, the generator humming in the background, Terry puts some old vinyls on. 

Daniel looks up from his book, one of Terry’s. There is a bookshelf that takes up an entire wall of the cabin. 

“Care for a dance?”

Daniel takes the outstretched hand and they circle the room, not stopping until the record does. 

———————

The next day is Daniel’s first official fishing lesson and with Terry’s help he catches a few. Beaning with pride, Terry loads up their supplies to head back and then a thought hits him.

Just down from the stream is a small pond and Terry quickly stripes off down to his underwear before taking though off, standing fully naked. He notices how quickly Daniel averts his eyes.

“Are you crazy! We’ll freeze.” 

“Trust me.”

Beyond sceptical but he does trust the older man. With his life. Actually, Daniel owes his life to him. 

It’s not like Terry hadn’t seen him in his underwear, but still Daniel feels a bit awkward as he undresses. Something between them has been changing as of late. Something he’s not really sure of. 

When he looks at Terry Daniel feels like he does when he looks at a pretty girl. He may not be very experienced but he’s not ignorant. He’s heard of that sort of thing - men lying with other men. It’s just, he’s never felt it before, and he wonders if it’s just because it’s the only the two of them here. 

Daniel normally takes himself in hand when Terry isn’t around or when he’s cleaning himself up in the bath. He often wonders if Terry is doing the same. 

There has been many mornings when he has woken up in Terry’s arms, feeling how hard Terry is against him. Has maybe wondered what it would be like to push his underwear down and …

Water hits his face, and he hears Terry laugh. “Hurry up.”

Daniel finishes undressing. Unlike Terry, Daniel keeps his underwear on. 

Terry is right. Despite the chill in the air the water is warm. 

“It’s had all summer to heat,” Terry explains, “and the break in the canopy there,” he points up, allows for a lot of sunlight to shine directly down on the water.”

When they get back he shows Daniel how to cut and clean the fish they caught and how to salt some for storage. 

They make a stew, Daniel warming the bread he baked yesterday over the flame of the stove. 

Everything is as it should be when they retire for the night, but a loud knock on the door a few hours later in the dead of night rouses them. 

Well not so much a knock as the clear sounds of someone trying to break in. 

Terry rolls out of bed with ease, grabbing his hunting rifle. 

“Stay here. Close the door and do not come out. No matter what.” Daniel watches the broad back as he goes to their bedroom door. 

“But ….”

“Daniel,” a hand on his face, and for a man that size he is amazed at how damn fast on his feet Terry is. “I need to know you’re safe.”

Sounds of a scuffle, Daniel sits in bed, heart in his throat. 

He can make out, under the moonlight, Terry and another man fighting. Terry has more hunting rifles but they’re kept locked up - with only one always by their bed on Terry’s side. He wonders if …. A gunshot rings loud and clear and Daniel’s word stops. Then, it kicks back into lotion and before he realizes it he’s throwing open the bedroom door, running to the kitchen to grab a knife. 

The sound of the door swinging open, and Daniel turns. 

Standing there in a black tank, blood on his face is Terry. 

Alive.

Alive and unharmed.

Well, mostly, there is also blood coming down his arm.

Daniel drops the knife running to Terry who hold shim close with his other arm.

“Are you okay?” Terry asks and Daniel has to keep from laughing. 

“You’re asking if I’m okay?! You’re the one bleeding. I heard a gunshot. You weren’t shot were you,” small hands pushing up the tank top to check.

“I wasn’t.”

“Your arm?”

“Surface wound. He had a small knife,” Terry reassures. 

“A small knife, yeesh,” Daniel mutters before commanding Terry to, “let me see.” He guides Terry to the kitchen chiar directing him to sit before going to the bathroom to grab their first aid kit.

“All done,” Daniel announces as he cleans up the bloody gauze and everything else he used. 

“Think I’ll live?” He jokes to try and lighten the sudden tension. 

“You might have a scar.”

Tears then and he turns away but he can’t hide the sniffle. 

“Come here. Are you okay?” Terry asks again. 

“Yeah just … I was worried.”

“I’m sorry.”

Daniel clings to him, his fact in the older man’s chest, breathing in the familiar scent of him. 

“I’d be all alone again,” he whispers. “If something were to happen to you.”

“Would you go back?” Terry finally asking the question. The flood gave them time but Terry has been too afraid to ask, if he wanted to stay here, even if he had sensed this thing forming between them.

“I wouldn’t know how.” Truth is he means that in every way. He physically does not know how and mentally he doesn’t think he could go back. 

He had done everything he was told. Studied his ass off and made valedictorian. Even had a great school lined up but he wasn’t happy. Far from it.

All he felt was lost. 

Here though, here he is happy. Happy in a way he hasn’t been since he was a kid. Happy with this man who at first had terrified him, even if he had been nothing but kind. How wrong he had been and how glad he was that Terry was the one who rescued him. Because now Daniel feels found - like he is where he’s supposed to be. 

“I‘m happy here with you. If you’ll have me.”

“Nothing would make me happier.”

Daniel surges up, kissing him and Terry freezes. Daniel shrinks back.

“Sorry. Sorry …. I thought ….” Has he fucked this up? Did Terry means as friends? 

But before he can retreat back - run and hide like he wants - the older man growls, grabbing him and Daniel gasps. 

Lifted up, he wraps his legs around Terry, his back hitting the wall as Terry consumes him, his mouth on his. 

He can feel how fucking hard the older man is and okay, they are doing this. 

“Have you ever,” Terry pants, getting his boy’s shirt off. “…. with a man??” His own tank following.

“No, I … never ….”

“It’s okay. I’ll show you.”

“No.”

Terry stops.

“I didn’t mean stop I mean … I’ve never with anyone.” 

A hand grabs his wrist, pinning it above his head, Terry grinding their hips together. Daniel can feel even through Terry’s underwear and pants the bulge. 

Terry gets his pants undone … lining up so both of their swollen lengths rub against each other. 

Daniel gasping, breaking off the kiss to cry out.

“We can go slow,” Terry groans, the boy jolting against the wall and the larger body holding him to it as they continue to writhe and thrust against each other like animals. 

“No. I  don’t want that …. I want you.”

Terry bites down, hips pistoning faster and faster. 

“Oh god …..” Daniel wails as he comes, coating his cock and Terry’s. 

His feet finally touch the ground, the wall keeping him up as Terry takes himself in hand shooting onto Daniel’s smooth stomach.

A finger swipes up through the mess Terry left on him and Daniel brings it to his lips, tasting it. 

“You keep that up and ….”

Terry looks down and the boy is hard again already, although Terry can feel he’s not far behind.

“Wow,” Daniel breathes. “That was ….”

Terry chuckles. “There is more, or course”.

“More?” Daniel parrots. 

Terry nods. 

“Like blowjobs?”

If girls can put a guy’s cock in their mouth Daniel figures so can he. 

“Yes but not what I meant.”

“What did you mean?!!”

“Turn around on your stomach for me.”

He does. 

“There we go.”

Daniel feels two thumbs separate his cheeks and he gasps, hole clenching. 

“I’m not going to hurt you.”

“I know.”

“Do you trust me?”

“Of course.”

Terry wanders to their bedroom, returning with the little pot of oil he makes that he uses to keep his hands from drying out and the skin splitting. 

A large hand on his stomach pushing his ass out as Terry sinks back to his knees. 

Terry’s mouth on him there, Daniel moaning like something in heat, pushing his ass back, humping Terry’s face. Daniel is ready to blow another load already, but then a finger slips suddenly in and, “holy fuck what was that,” he shouts coming against the wall without even so much as a hand on his dick.

“That is what will make this worth your while.”

“What? A finger up my ass.”

“No, my cock.”

Daniel looks to Terry’s cock and back to Terry’s face. Then back to his cock. His very well endowed cock. His very well endowed cock which is currently becoming more and more endowed as it hardens up again. 

“Trust me. It may be a bit uncomfortable at first and I shall do everything I can but you’re going to love me inside you. My cock hitting that spot instead,” he says, finger back in prodding that bundle of nerves, his soft cock hanging limo but giving an interested twitch. “Just let me have you, darling. Just tell me yes.”

“Yes,” Daniel moans, unable to agree to anything else with Terry’s finger inside him, fucking him open. It feels too damn good. 

“We need our bed for that.”

Lifted again, Terry carries him the short distance  to their bedroom, never breaking their kiss as he leans over their bed, laying Daniel onto it.

“Hands and knees would be best for your first time.”

“Can I … I want to see your face. Want to see you when you have me like that.”

“Fuck baby,” Terry moans. 

Kisses to distract, wet mouth trailing down a freely offered throat, circling around two small dusky nipples, down down down, taking Daniel’s cock into his mouth while he fingers his ass open. 

One two three and four. 

Each one difficult, each one his boy opening up to accept as gospel; his body reforged for Terry to worship. 

Then, a cock at his entrance instead. 

Terry’s cock pushing inside, fat head breeching his body. 

Terry’s cock slowly but surely opening his ass.

Terry’s cock in a place nothing has been before save his fingers. 

Inch by inch until there is no more to take - every bit of Terry inside Daniel. 

It feels like he’s being spilt it two.

It feels like he’s being hollowed out. His insides rearranged, made to fit for Terry. 

It feels like he can taste Terry is his fucking throat. 

He’s panting like he’s run a mile when he’s just lying there, his legs pressed right to the older man’s side, a large hand holding one of his thighs up. 

“Are you okay?” Terry smooths his other hand down his face.

“Yeah. Just,” he grimaces as the cock shifts inside him.

“I’m pulling out.”

“Don’t you dare. I just need a minute is all.”

Terry cradles his face, his elbows on either side of his head.  

His hole feels stretched too damned wide. 

His body too open. 

The thick cock unrelenting inside him.  There is no where it isn’t filing. It’s all consuming heat and pressure.

“That’s it,” Terry soothes. “Just relax for me. Just like that.”

Daniel  circles his hips at the same time Terry pulls back just a bit, nudging his cock back in and ….. 

Nails racking down his back as Daniel’s eyes roll

back and he screams as the cock nails his spot.

“There we go,” Terry groans. Daniel’s ass fits his cock like a glove but how it responds each time Terry so much as grazes that bundle of nerves is impossibly tight. 

“God you’re so responsive.” 

They lie there, face to face, sharing the same air. 

“Okay … move now,” Daniel says shakily.

Terry does. 

Not pulling back too much, his cock never leaving Daniel’s body - getting him used to it inside him. Terry rutting in. 

“Oh fuck. Right …. right there …. oh fuck,” he chants his ass already blisteningly tight is like a vice on his cock every time he nails his spot. His legs tightening where they squeeze against Terry’s side.    

It’s too much.

It’s not enough.

This is sweet agony. 

“Touch yourself.”

Daniel takes himself in hand and he doesn’t even get two full stroke sbefore he’s coming - come hitting his chin and his ass spasms around the iron length inside him.

“So fucking tight,” Terry grits. “I’m going to come in you. Going to ….”

“Yes yes please,” Daniel pleads. “Want to feel it. Want to feel you come in me … how full I’ll be ….”

Terry grabs his hips, a few rough dirty thrusts before he buries himself deep, cock pulsing and throbbing into Daniel, filling his ass with come for the first time, as he begged. 

When he’s finally finished, and his boy is as full as he’ll ever be, Terry pulls out and the wet squelching of his ass as he does is obscene in the quiet of their bedroom.

Terry grabs a washcloth but waits. He wants to see … 

“Is that … is that your come?” Daniel asks, feeling something coming out of him, dripping down. 

“Where else is it going to go?” Terry laughs. 

Terry careful cleans him, inspecting too, the once tiny little hole now gaping obscenely, clearly well used and fucked open. 

“I feel kind of open down there,” Daniel says, frowning. Like he has to clench his ass for it to fully close. It’s not a bad feeling just very unique to how it normally feels. 

“You will for a bit, but don’t worry. It won’t stay like that.”

He makes a noise through his nose as Terry continues. 

“Clench tight.”

 Daniel does and his face burns as what feels like a glob comes out as a result, the fucking noise it makes as it does. 

“You’ll get used to it,” Terry laughs, helping to finger more out. “I won’t always come inside you either. Next time I can put out.” 

“I kind of like it,” Daniel admits. 

No point denying it now. There are no secrets between them. Not since they met it seems. 

“There’s a lot you’re going to like. Trust me.”

He does.

He did.

It’s why they’re here.

Satisfied, Terry gathers Daniel into his arms. 

Glad it was Terry who found him.

Grateful for this life of theirs. 

Knowing Terry is right - there is so much more and he cannot wait to experience it all, with Terry by his side.

Omg your idea of Sanrio x TWST is so cute! May I offer some more thoughts, like how Gudetama can only be seen by someone who's feeling listless, Deuce might have to consult Leona on how to be less energetic lol. And since Badtz-Maru's hobby is to collect pictures of bad guys played by movie stars, he's gonna be a big fan of Vil's ✨️

(That aside, Pompompurin's design really reminds me of Beans Day Vil, probably because of the beret 😌)

[Referencing this post!]

LMAO 😂 Deuce hounding Leona in the botanical garden and shouting, “PLEASE TEACH ME HOW TO BE AS LAID-BACK AS YOU ARE, KINGSCHOLAR-SENPAI!!” Leona eyes the talking egg chilling in Deuce’s hands thinking, What the fuck is going on, why is food suddenly sentient????

xbjsebksnxks Badtz-Maru asks for Vil’s autograph 😌 He’s a bit mischievous and selfish though, so maybe he’ll just end of being another problem child for Vil to look after… Badtz-Maru is still a dreamer at heart (he wants to be “the boss!!” like Idia), but maybe Vil can get him to act on those dreams! (Side note: doesn’t Badtz Maru collect autographs of movie stars in general, not just the movie stars that play bad guys??)

Pompompurin can strike a pose with Beans Camp Vil!! They’ll be on a magazine cover together 💕

Speaking of Sanrio x TWST and Vil 👀 Hello Kitty’s standard colors (white, red, blue, yellow) remind me a lot of Neige’s colors. Her height and weight are even read in terms of apples (Kitty is 5 apples tall and weighs 3 apples)!! And given that Hello Kitty is the most popular Sanrio character, just like how Neige is the “most beautiful/popular” idol… I kind of want to see Vil absolutely SEETHE over the Neige-Hello Kitty power duo 😂 (but being the professional that he is, Vil would have to continue to casually smile and wave to the cameras—)

Or maybe Idia would snatch up Hello Kitty for himself since he likes cats??? cbsvjwcnks It might be funny to see Leona having to deal with a fellow cat that’s so kind and cheery so basically the opposite of him. “I’m surrounded by idiots,” Leona groans, a cutesy pastel-colored Sanrio character hanging off of each of his limbs.

[harrywavycurly]

Okay, so! I have several questions about Kathy and Niall so please buckle up because I am very very curious. (You do not need to answer all of these! I'll honestly be a little concerned if you do because it is a lot of questions)

First, Kathy probably heard that Harry was famous from reader but did Kathy know more about 1D and Niall when she met him? Has she listened to his music before on purpose or just in passing?

What did Niall think when he met Kathy? How exactly did reader introduce them to each other? What kind of dates do they go on? How scared of Kathy is Niall? Has Niall met Teddy yet?

Does Kathy get her picture taken while she's out in public? Does the public know she's dating Niall? Does Niall like to spoil Kathy and Teddy and buy them gifts? Does Niall ever come with Kathy to pick up Teddy from school and get stared at? Do they post things on social media? Do they ever go out to drink together?

Has Niall met Kathy's family yet? Has Kathy met Niall's family? Is Niall obsessed with Kathy like Harry is about reader or is he more tame about it (or does he just hide it better)? Does Niall have any nicknames for Kathy & Teddy? Do Niall and Kathy plan on expanding their little family from just them three to having another kid?

Does Kathy have any brother or other friends that she'll drag around by the ear? Has Niall ever witnessed her do anything like that?

I have so many more questions but I'll end my rambling here because otherwise it feels a little excessive even for me

Hiiii lovey!!! I love all of these questions, honestly I could do a whole side series on Kathy and Niall they make me so happy to think about!!🥹 so I’ll answer a few and then I’ll be sure to do a little Southern Comfort extra that shows Niall going to pick up Teddy from school and he runs into Harry who’s all “what’s going on?” And that’s how Harry learns Niall and Kathy are THAT serious 😂

A few turned into a whole thing so enjoy getting to know more about Kathy and Niall💖

-Kathy knew who Harry was, so yes she knew who Niall was before meeting him, the moment SC Reader said “so…Harry has this Irish friend…” Kathy knew who she was talking about. Now was she a proper fan? Not really but she 100% heard Niall’s solo stuff because she works in a grocery store and they play “todays hot hits” so she’s heard slow hands, this town and all his singles. She hasn’t ever made it a big deal that her bestie is dating Harry Styles because SC Reader sees him as “just Harry” so that’s how she treats him as well and now that’s exactly how she treats Niall, like he’s just some dude she knows and happens to be dating.

-SC Reader told Niall where Kathy worked, after making sure it was okay with Kathy of course, and Niall went there and casually introduced himself to her. It wasn’t anything over the top, he said “hey I’m Niall…you must be Katherine?” And he asked for her number before he left because he thought she was cute and seemed nice!

-Niall isn’t as scared of Kathy as Harry is of his Texas Tornado, but when Kathy uses her “mom voice” Niall will admit he stops what he’s doing as if he’s the one getting in trouble. Niall has met Teddy, this didn’t happen until Kathy was 1000% sure Niall was going to be sticking around for a while and Niall didn’t mind proving himself with lots of cute dates and patience.

-The public knows about Kathy and Niall because they both post on their socials about each other, Niall is more secretive about it while Kathy will just full on post him flipping her the bird to her Instagram story and share it to her “close friends” and they get their photo taken while out just like Harry and SC Reader do but Niall takes special care to try to keep Teddy out of the public eye as much as he can since he’s not Niall’s son he doesn’t want to make Kathy’s life harder with making her baby daddy upset by seeing his son’s face on the cover of magazines.

-Niall does like to try to spoil Kathy when she allows it, but mainly he just likes to make sure her and Teddy are taken care of. Like how he bought Teddy’s teacher’s whole Amazon wish list for his class. They do out to bars together and even have been on a few double dates with Harry and SC Reader.

-Niall is full on obsessed with the little family he has with Kathy and Teddy, he just hides it better than Harry. But if you ask Kathy she’ll tell you he doesn’t. Niall calls Kathy “Kat” or when he’s in a mood he’ll call her “kitty and for Teddy he normally calls him “buddy” or just Teddy and every now and then he’ll call him “little man” and for right now Kathy and Niall are content with it just being the three of them. But if Niall puts a ring on it maybe Kathy will change her mind.

-Kathy is an only child but Niall has witnessed her tell a few people to fuck off while the two of them are out, there’s a reason her and SC Reader are besties. Neither of them tolerate rudeness especially to their significant others so Niall jokes that he doesn’t need security when either of them are around. Niall also has seen the way Kathy can just look at someone and they back off and he assumes it’s a mom thing and he’s glad he’s never been on the receiving end of it.

-All in all Niall and Kathy are a super cute love story that’s not nearly as dramatic as SC Reader and Harry’s and that’s because Niall didn’t take 6374 dates to ask Kathy to be his girlfriend, it took him three dates and one kiss to know he wanted her to be his and he understood why it took a while till her got to meet Teddy but now they all three practically live together and he doesn’t see himself ever wanting to be with anyone else.✨

This is how I imagine Harry and Niall reacting after just watching their gf’s tell someone to fuck off:

Raspberry Beret

Pairing: Iceman X Maverick

Author's note: Written for the Top Gun Soulmate Month! My prompt was "matching symbols with your soulmate" and it was so much fun to write😊 I hope it all makes sense😂 Goose lives in this one because I say so, also my personal headcanon is that Iceman is Polish and I made that a central part of this story. If you don't like the headcanon you can skip this fic.

Warning: None other than some angst

Word count: ~6,6k

Symbols were stupid. Everyone had a symbol that was supposed to help them find their one and only, their true match. You would think that a symbol would be something meaningful, like a sun or a mountain top, except life was never that easy. Symbols were stupid and so were the soulmates attached to them. The very definition of a soulmate sounded like made-up crap, a person ideally suited to another as a close friend or romantic partner, and you couldn't convince Maverick Mitchell otherwise.

The symbol was always an object and the parties in question would have no idea about it until it clicked. There was a science to it, a bogus science if you asked Maverick. Like what gender your soulmate might end up being if you met in spring versus fall. Whether or not you got a platonic or romantic soulmate depended on the symbol’s color. Connecting with your soulmate was different for everybody; gossip magazines abused the ever-loving light out of it. They would pitch the meeting of your soulmate as something magical, something out of a storybook romance. Covers would try and lure bystanders in with pretty sentences like:

“Your soulmate is an integral part of you, someone you'll meet when the time is right, someone you can be your most authentic self with.”

“Your soulmate is your other half, the one who completes you the way you complete them. Like fingerprints, no two soulmates are alike.”

“Your soulmate comes to you in clues of three, here’s how to recognize them.”

Sure, Maverick wouldn't mind meeting his soulmate, he just refused to deal with letting the stars align and everything clicks bullshit. Maverick despised that click with a passion, he couldn't get over how everyone painted it as something it wasn't. Growing up, he’d been fed stories about how your soulmate would complete you and allow you to blossom and be your true self. He didn't need any pompous soulmate to be himself, Maverick knew precisely who he was. A naval aviator and a damn good one at that.

Perhaps that’s what drew Maverick to Naval Aviation. On the ground, it gave him structure and a sense of purpose. Apart from feeling connected with a father he never knew, being up in the air gave him a sense of freedom. Being up in the air, away from any earthly attachments, made him feel as light as a bird. Up in the air, Maverick was in charge of his fate. Up in the air, he didn't have to face the judgemental looks of his peers.

As a child, Maverick was relentlessly bullied for being an orphan. Losing his mother to cancer after losing his father to war at age 3 and spending most of his childhood in different homes made him an outcast to other people. The freak that couldn’t understand love because he didn’t have someone. Maverick remembered his first crush. It was a boy in his first-grade class, a cute thing with blonde hair and freckles. The kid was the opposite of Maverick, he preferred to play indoors or read a good book, while Maverick wanted to climb trees or play sports. He’d played together with Maverick on occasion but eventually stopped and told him he had only played with Maverick out of pity.

No one stuck around long enough to give him a chance. A few weeks here, a couple of months there. None of the homes wanted him. He was too messy, too energetic, too weird, his hair unruly, and his teeth crooked. Something always made the foster homes turn their backs on Maverick. Perhaps he was meant to always be alone? Maverick learned quickly not to get attached, people only disappointed him in the end.

Hey! 😄

Can I request a fluffy long oneshot with prompts: "Uh-m, H-hunter? I'm not too s-sure about t-this one.." & "Can I see?" about Hunter (TOH) and shy!fem!human!reader are going to the swimsuit shopping at outlet mall on Human Realm? How would Hunter reacts to shy!fem!human!reader trying on/modeling three swimsuits for him? Hint: This swimsuit shopping idea was Luz who gives a advice to her for catching Hunter's attention. 😂 I really live for flustered Hunter! Please??

Omg i absolutely love this idea!! Sorry that it took me this long to get to your request!

Key words: f/c - favorite colour; f/p - favorite pattern

Anyway, as to not make this a/n long af I'm going to start this oneshot here (don't mind the gif)

You and Hunter were currently walking through the outlet mall, you growing more and more nervous by the second as you were approaching the shop you were begging Hunter to go to with you

Luz had told you that is was a good idea to go swimsuit shopping with Hunter, since Hunter's quote 'great with fashion' end quote

Hunter was of course oblivious to this idea while you were sweating bullets, only being able to think of the multiple outcomes, knowing that at least one of them would be Hunter's reaction

The two of you walk into the store and you start to walk towards the swimsuit area

Hunter tilted his head slightly. He had though tht you were only here to buy some t-shirts? So why were you going to the swimsuit area

"Uh Y/n? The t-shirts are that way." Hunter said, pointing towards the multiple rows of t-shirts with cringe writing on the front

"Oh- well, I remembered that I don't have any swimming suits." You said awkwardly, grabbing three swimsuits that looked the most appealing. Grabbing Hunter's wrist you started to walk towards the changing rooms

Hunter sat down on one of the benches that was right across the changing room that you entered seconds ago

"Since you're here. I though that you sould... Rate the swimsuits or something..." You mumbled, locking the door as you started to get changed, grabbing a two peace baby blue swimsuit that had daisy's all over it

Putting if on you looked in the mirror that was in the changing room, that you checked previously if it was a one-way mirror or not, a light pink blush covering your cheeks as you turned around and unlocked the door

"Uh-m , H-hunter? I'm not too s-sure about t-this one.." You stuttered, opening the door lightly so that only your head peaked out

"Can I see?" Hunter asked, tilting his head as a warm smile spread across his face. You sighed, opening the door fully

Hunter's face turned a brings pink as he looked you up and down, admiring your beauty. He coughed, turning his gaze away as he mumbled

"Lo-oks great." You laughed lightly, pink dusting your cheeks as you turned around and closed the door, locking it

"Well, we have to go through two more swimsuits." You laughed, already taking off the previous swimsuit and grabbing another

"Ok-Okay." You heard him stutter. You finally manage to out on the swimsuit as you looked at yourself in the mirror. It was a one peace black swimsuit with what looked like stars and an open back that looked like it was tied, each string having a white streak in the middle

You unlocked the door and walked out, Hunter's gaze switched from what looked like a magazine to you, a pinkish hue lighting up his cheeks

"Wh-what about this one?" I said, turning around to give him a full view on the swimsuit

"Looks gr-great." He mumbled, you smiled lightly and rolled your eyes playfully

"You can't just say 'Looks great' on every single swimsuit." I laughed, grabbing the changing rooms door handle, ready to walk in

"But you look great in all of those swimsuits!" He groaned, covering his face with his hands to cover his blush, you giggled as you entered the changing room

"W-well, this is the last swimsuit. So you're gonna have to pick between these three." You sighed, already struggling to take off the swimsuit you were wearing

"Can't you pick?" He asked

"Nope." You said, laughing lightly as Hunter groaned from the other end of the door

Finally taking off your swimsuit you picked up the last one, and it conveniently turned out to be the best looking one, at least to you

It was a one/ two peace in a f/c colour with what looks like f/p. You smiled as you started to out it on, surprisingly it was a lot easier to put on than the previous one

Looking at yourself in the mirror you smiled lightly at yourself, turning around you unlocked the door and walked out. Seeing Hunter already looking your way, his ears and cheeks turned bright red as he looked at your figure

"What about this one?" I asked, doing a spin as Hunter cleared his throat

"That's the one." He sighed, looking at you with dreamy eyes. I giggled lightly and blushed, turning around I closed and locked the changing rooms door and quickly changed in to my normal clothes

Getting out hunter quickly stood up and walked towards me with a smile, kissing my cheek. I blushed and laughed lightly

"What was that for?" I giggled, walking towards the section that we got the three swimsuits from

"Just for being a great model." He shrugged, I rolled my eyes playfully and put two of the swimsuits back, keeping the one that Hunter chose for me

I turned around and kissed his lips, chuckling as I saw him turn a bright red colour

"What was that for?" He asked, putting a hand onto his lips

"For being a great judge." You winked, earning a warm smile from the boy

"I love you so much." He whispered as you exited the store, hugging your waist. You smiled, kissing his cheek as you whispered back

"I love you too, Hunter."

A/n: Sorry if this wasn't what you were expecting/ it's too short, but I tried my best 😅

CPN : May Day Sweets 🍭

some random clowning i’ve been seeing for the past days that i thought to compile. i can’t believe it’s already May, time is going by so fast this year!

again, no need to take everything so seriously. it’s all coincidences and for fun. ✌🏼

• XZ wearing these off white pants often in his personal time. We have CPN history with this brand and i’m invested whenever he decides to use it. Really reminds me of the SDC 3 candy so i won’t let it go. lol.

• This fake story, it’s pretty long but the main thing I got from it is that XZ allegedly gave WYB a rabbit charm. A small thing he can keep for himself and WYB said he can hide it so other people won’t see. Well, i’m posting it here in case someday we catch a glimpse of this elusive bunny.

It also talks about them being on video call and XZ trying to teach WYB how to cook something 💕

• Another fake rumor, a short conversation between them where XZ was telling WYB to wear his wind jacket. and it appears they have a couple one, color gray. so yeah. keeping an eye out on that too in case it appears ~

that’s really the joy in tracking these fake rumors, if ever one of them becomes remotely true. 😂😂😂

• This magazine with XZ on the cover, also has WYB on it. Lol. It’s just how it is.

• YBO used the heart with a mole again on 4/30, and I wanna think that he used that cause it’s the start of XZ’s Xi’An ADLAD run. and it was circulating before that BTF will have a Xi’An roadshow on that same day. I wanna believe it’s their little way of showing love to XZ in a public platform ♥️

That’s all. Nothing fancy. Our boys have been busy and I hope their work commitments finish up soon so they can spend some time together ☺️

-END.

Hello! I've recently just found your blog and it's been such a ballast in the storm of this past week. Thank you for that 💜

I need to dump these thoughts somewhere because I basically don’t have anyone I can talk to about this in my Army group. I should disclaim that… I have tried over the years to NOT believe in Taekook, but the past two years has actually made it incredibly hard 😂 And the Dream premiere was when I was like, whoa, okay, maybe this IS something.

So the last week (and actually ever since Gurumi dropped) has been an emotional rollercoaster. I have no idea what to believe, I have to keep checking my biases, I keep thinking, “am I just unwilling to believe this because it’s not what I personally want to see?” And I’ve often returned to “Well, maybe the simplest explanation here is the truest one, and T/J really are dating.”

Except… there is literally nothing about T/J that makes sense. My easiest explanation for everything that went down in Paris is that they’ve been casual on/off for the past year, and neither are just willing to comment or commit. But that doesn’t explain the circumstances around the paps, the way the footage was dropped, the discrepancy with the light/time, the fact that there just happened to be a person walking around in Paris with Tae’s magazine cover… like, SO MUCH.

So here’s where I’m sitting: maybe the easiest explanation IS the truest one, and what have we seen in the past year? We’ve seen several undoubtable instances of Tae and JK being together outside of work, intentionally spending time together, making their affection for each other known. And if we’re looking at long-term protection here, if you ARE Hybe and you know these boys have something special between them and they have to release music and enlist in the next year… wouldn’t it make sense to do what you need to do to protect them?

The gaps for me are these: would Tae actually be willing to do this? Why would Jennie agree to this, even if it DOES lift her profile? Arguably, she doesn’t need any more exposure, she’s one of the most followed Kpop idols around. And where is Jungkook’s place in all of this? What is his role? And at the end of the day, isn’t this all too much trouble for something that can be easily hidden as “two bros just being bros”? (Although arguably a lot of the things they’ve done in the past six months ALONE has really toed the line with this one.)

Anyway. I’m sort of in between with all this, and I’m sorry for the messy ask. But thank you for giving us all a space to process this. 💜💜💜

Hi anon!

I'm so glad you find my blog helpfull and I'm a bit sad you aren't able to voice your thoughts in your Army group. You are very welcome here.

Things are confusing right now, no matter which way you look at it... there's always more questions than answers. Their intention isn't to be clear right now, whether it be pr or real... they want to stay in this state of vagueness. So that's what we have to make due with.

I have actually also explored the idea of them being very casual and not serious. But I find if that were the case they would meet up in hotels and not go for a walk joined by security and managers.

So here’s where I’m sitting: maybe the easiest explanation IS the truest one, and what have we seen in the past year? We’ve seen several undoubtable instances of Tae and JK being together outside of work, intentionally spending time together, making their affection for each other known. And if we’re looking at long-term protection here, if you ARE Hybe and you know these boys have something special between them and they have to release music and enlist in the next year… wouldn’t it make sense to do what you need to do to protect them?

Yes, that's where I'm at as well. A recent anon mentioned the possibility of Tae's music referencing his own life. I can very much imagine him singing about a relationship where you have to hide and that comes with struggles and distance... suits both situations perfectly.

The gaps for me are these: would Tae actually be willing to do this?

If it makes him feel more safe, and confident about releasing his music. Than yes, I think he would. By association it would also work as sort of protection for Jk... so I strongly feel this could be the case. He would certainly not be the first.

Why would Jennie agree to this, even if it DOES lift her profile? Arguably, she doesn’t need any more exposure, she’s one of the most followed Kpop idols around.

While Jennie is huge, she is trying to break into new territory; the film industry. That comes with a whole new audience, so something big will certainly help her. The Idol has not been without critisism, so it would aid the series as well. Just look at all the articles about Tae and Jennie from last week... I've not read all, but most mentioned her series. It's great promo.

And where is Jungkook’s place in all of this? What is his role?

He doesn't perse need to have a role in this. I think he'll be lingering along the sidelines, being able to spend time with Tae without too much speculation.

And at the end of the day, isn’t this all too much trouble for something that can be easily hidden as “two bros just being bros”? (Although arguably a lot of the things they’ve done in the past six months ALONE has really toed the line with this one.)

Ah, but how much trouble is it really? You will find (if things go the way they have been going) that the actual trouble of cooperating isn't all that much. From what we've seen now, they met up for pictures a few times, they met for a walk once, they wear the same jewelry... that's literally it. Fandom and media take care of the rest. It's really not that much work for a few years of coverage.

Not a messy ask at all. And you are very welcome for the space.

After being called as such by fans, Jin started refering to himself as Worldwide Handsome. Indeed, he’s regularly noticed for his good looks.

In 2016, Jin organized a Jinsta for his birthday. Following the Festa they do for the group’s birthday, he released content from the 1st to the 4th of December:

In 2024, Jin carried the olympic torch for the Paris Olympic Games, just a few days after finishing his military service (Episode, interview with Louise Aubery in the Louvre, Paris Match article in French).

Today's compilation:

100% Hits Vol. 2 1991 Pop-Rock / Pop-Rap / Pop / Dance-Pop / Adult Contemporary

Alright, so...this was pretty much every bit as bad as you'd probably expect a compilation that looks like this would be 😅. This whole cut-and-paste style of album art construction that places a bunch of rectangular artist photos against a clashing, plain-yellow background has a way of transmitting that same cheap, hollow, and wholly manufactured vibe that a cover of one of those typical teenybopper magazines might too, and that's more or less what you end up receiving with this second installment in Warner Music Australia's 100% Hits series here; an embarrassing hole of substanceless and mindless crud that weaves together some of the most disposably uninspired examples of pop, pop-rock, dance-pop, pop-rap, and adult contemporary that you'll likely ever hear. And you know that something like this is truly representative of the absolute worst that the early 90s had to offer when you can safely conclude that Marky Mark & The Funky Bunch's "Good Vibrations"—a fun, catchy, and very goofy song, no doubt—is somehow legitimately one of the best tunes that's on this album, all in spite of Mark Wahlberg's own comically braggadocious and terrible attempts at rapping 😵‍💫.

And I guess for the most prime example of all this Australian pop awfulness then, one really need look no further than national soap opera star Melissa's unbelievably atrocious "Sexy (Is the Word)," which somehow managed to reach #3 on the country's pop chart and achieved gold status there too. You might logically assume that something like this was actually made as an exaggerated satire on what dance-pop writ large was looking and sounding like back then, but I really don't think that that was the case here. And Melissa may've had a ton of sex appeal too, but she really could not do the most important thing that a pop star needs to do, which is SING WITH A MODICUM OF ACCEPTABLENESS, so this really has to be up there as one of the single-worst pop songs that's probably ever been made, period 🤢. Like, it's so bad that I think the entire nation of Australia should be made to feel shame over it for collectively allowing the conditions to exist in order for it to manifest itself in the first place.

Do not, under any circumstances, watch this shit.

And also, color me completely surprised to find an act like legendary 'real' east coast hip hop duo Gang Starr on this CD too, strangely nestled between the likes of future 'Queen of Christian Pop,' Amy Grant (anyone else remember that song of hers that went, "It takes a little time sometimes, to get your feet back on the ground"?), and Cathy Dennis, who'd just given the world her memorably signature dance-pop cover of Wish & Fonda Rae's "Touch Me (All Night Long)," before going on to later write Kylie Minogue's landmark "Can't You Get Out of My Head," too 😂. Probably the oddest album that you could possibly imagine to find Gang Starr on, but apparently their song "Lovesick" got something of a swingin' and upbeat British acid jazz remix treatment to it, and then it ended up doing surprisingly well in Australia of all places, so here they are. And it's not totally bad by any means—especially by the rest of the standards that are set by this album—but it's also definitely not the style of jazz-rap that they'd become known for making, either.

Deeply anodyne clunker from one of my favorite pop acts from this time period too, Roxette, whose "The Big L." really should've stood for 'The Big Loser,' rather than 'The Big Love.' Yikes! 😮‍💨

So this was purely just one of the worst possible ways to experience this era of popular music. In a broad sense, when you say the term 'early 90s' to people, a lot of them probably immediately think of a band like Nirvana, and Seattle grunge more generally, but whatever's on this album, even though it was exclusively tailored to an Australian audience, is actually a far more accurate portrayal of what these years actually sounded like for most folks in the West. We had Vanilla Ice, we had Milli Vanilli, we had Michael Bolton, we had glam metal's last, dying breaths, and we also had a ton of other songs that sounded like what was on this album too. These were some extremely dark times for pop music as a whole, and this release does a bang-up job of capturing just how dire things were capable of getting 😩.

Highlights:

Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch - "Good Vibrations" Gang Starr - "Lovesick" Ghostwriters - "...Someone's Singing New York New York"

I genuinely love miffy's resurgence bc she's really the cutest:')) my SIL gifted me this one and I almost cried 🐰🥺 we.tl/t-UPxfn5EnQm
