Hi there! I have some stupid questions, sorry if this is dumb! What’s going on with Erin? I read your post where Simon accidentally calls reader erin, which was so sad!! Gosh you’re a good writer. Anyway then I wanted to know more, so I searched “erin” on your blog, and only one thing came up, but not the one where he accidentally calls reader that! It’s the one where Erin is the medic on base he likes so much. Is there anything else with this character? Is Simon cheating on Erin with reader, is that’s what’s happening (omg I hope not that would kill me)? Did he and erin break up and he’s just lonely and settling for reader? The Drabble where Erin is introduced is the only one that came up for me when I searched your blog, but I’m super interested in the rest of the story. What am I missing? Did I search something wrong or did something get deleted? I’m just super interested in that specific story. Sorry if this is dumb and I’m missing something obvious!!! I love your work, you’re so talented!!! Ok bye
hii omg no stupid questions here! it was my fault that the dbf!simon series is so poorly maintained and tracked so these questions are honestly so founded 😭
i made a tag for all the erin (dbf!simon) posts!! pls check the tag out as i, shocking to myself too tbh, wrote more than i realized <33
oki so!
erin (dbf!simon) and erin (the medic) are not the same person!!
erin the medic was my first OC who i wanted to cultivate into a well rounded character with a bigger role for the WIP fic but writer’s block sucker punched me so hard that i dropped the fic as of now (and forever ig?). given that i’m not well gifted with OC-making skills, i reused the name in the WIP fic for illicit affairs (origin) which is honestly such a bad idea as i inadvertently confused so many people :’<
while simon was dating erin (in illicit affairs — this is no longer about the WIP fic where she’s a medic) he does not cheat on her at all!!
here is a breakdown of their relationship in his eyes. he loved erin, almost changed himself for her and everything, but he still left because he is pretty much still hung up on the thrill of his relationship with the reader.
hope this clarified some things and i hope the tag would make it easier for u to navigate the erin plot ^v^
thank you so much for wanting to read my writings and your lovely comments <33 loooove you bad teehee ^3^

One last coincidence before dying so you’ll know the TRUTH and you’ll believe me to at least some extent it’s based on all the signs I’ve collected in www.lilacnights.com/post/stupid-cupid I’m somehow writing this, after this I’ll leave the world, I don’t want to fight I don’t want to be with him cuz I love him a lot and he deserves better I wanted someone else to erase my memories and be on that platonic or half open marriage, here… I was telling myself I’ll meet Harsh in heaven cuz we are soulmates, if you’ll see that link you’ll know the Devil always reads my mind I myself was not able to believe it initially but please go through all that, it’s probably not that Illumin-a-t-i angle I don’t know I forgot to delete it but since I said we are soulmates he deliberately started showing me signs with Aneri’s numerological total to make it redundant and to take away my hope for heaven as well. And look TODAY it was proven that it’s him there’s 156 and 159 (one means one soul from 111 which is a soulmate number) I’ll tell you how to read the signs, it’s the Devil NOT God because he’s using our last digits, I’m born on the 29th of March and she’s born on the 26th (again in Mar) he’s not using our numerological total, it should’ve been that, for me it should have been 2 not 9, he is creating this competition with her even THOUGH SHE IS NOT my competition at all BECAUSE OF THIS - since I don’t have anyone to support me or say this I am being frank she’s nothing special, it could’ve been anyone even Jiya or Saloni’s number but the truth is, I don’t know their numerological total I only know her’s so even if he would’ve shown any of their numbers I wouldn’t have been able to make out it’s them, he tried though, I once saw 501 (the the Alias I’d given to Harsh in 2018) and I was thinking about Jiya that day when I saw 1701 instead if 201 (I always see Harsh’s 501 and my 201 together back to back since we are soulmates) but he showed 1701 BECAUSE I wasn’t aware of her numerological total I only knew her birthdate so he showed that with 01 which is erroneous, today I again saw 501 and 2001 which is almost 201 consecutively. I’ll see you in heaven now bye. - Zara Sauleh

Runaway Baby (Sweet Pea x reader)
A/N: This is written in first person point of view. This fic also discusses running away so reader be aware. I wrote this to release so emotions that have been building up. Please enjoy. :) Runaway Baby by Bruno Mars was stuck in my head as I was writing. 
Tumblr media
"I, Y/N L/N, have come to realize I hate modern society and don't want to live in it. I have also come to realize the only reason I am depressed is because of modern society. It's so superficial and meticulous. Step out of line for one second and you're not worth the air you breathe. Have a different view of the world than someone else, you're weird. I'm tired of it. This isn't a good bye. I just can't be here right now. I don't want to go to college then slave away at a 9-5 job for the rest of my life. That sounds so fucking dreadful. I'm going to take the time and find myself. Please don't come looking for me. You won't find me."
The last words I will give to my mother are written down on the paper I hold in my hand. I can't believe I'm actually doing this. After so many years of being stuck, I'm finally leaving. I wonder if Sweet Pea will be going with. Writing the note to my mother was easy, that conversation with Pea was not. 
*Flashback (2 weeks)*
Sweet Pea and I are lying in his bed after having a tickle fight. As my laughter dies down and we’re both panting. I turn to see him already looking at me. It was early and the sun was shining right on Sweets through the curtains. “God you look so beautiful,” Sweets says to me. Blushing, I shrug and respond, “You too, handsome.” The next words I say stun the Serpent. “We should run away,” I say gazing into his chocolate brown eyes, “We should just leave Riverdale.” He was shocked, so shocked that he didn’t respond. I didn’t take offense to it since it was a lot to take in. “Just think about it,” I say and I close my eyes and bathe in the light of the sun. 
Sweet Pea had not said anything in about 2 hours. I was so sure he was truly thinking about it boy I was wrong. Peaceful one second, screaming the next. “Why,” Pea’s voice startled me out of my peaceful reverend, “would you ask me that? Like we don’t already have enough problems here to sort out.” Serpent tension with Ghoulies had only amped up since graduating high school 2 years ago. They have a lot of free time to enact revenge or whatever. “It was just a thought,” I reasoned unphased about the tone in his voice, “Nothing more. Nothing less.” 
“Didn’t seem like just a thought when you were talking about it,” his voice got more intense and loud. I brushed off the whole conversation by saying, “Cool, fine, forget about it. It was a stupid idea anyway.” I don't think he liked that because he got up, shot me one last glare and stormed out of his trailer. 
*3 days later*
Sweets hasn't talked to me for 3 days. I started to gather the stuff I would need to run away. I am leaving with or without him. I really hope it’s with him. I’m praying to all the Gods to convince his stubborn ass to come with. I have a list of ways to properly vanish. 
Delete yourself from the internet (Includes all social media platforms.)
Leave for long periods at a time (One day you can leave and not go back, it would be less suspicious.)
Gather essential items needed for survival (Self explanatory, though I could live without the boxes for books. I am not leaving my books behind.)
Plan an escape (I don’t want to alarm my mother by packing my car with my stuff while she is at home. I pack when she is at work (too easy).)
In case Step 2 fails, leave a note. (You have already read the note.)
Leave. Vanish. Hasta la vista.
Was it perfect? No.
Would it work? Yes. 
*End of flashback*
The day Sweet Pea made his decision, my car was packed and ready to go. I should have left my car behind but I’m not too worried about it. I did go the extra mile and removed my sim card from my phone and smashed it to pieces. My old life is gone and I couldn’t be happier. Sweet Pea walked up the length of my driveway right and I loaded the last box full of my books. I have everything I need; entertainment, money, food, and clothes. I really needed wanted Sweet Pea. 
“Wow,” Sweet Pea said, “you weren’t kidding.” I could not turn around, in case I saw he wasn’t coming with me. “Yeah,” the air was tense, this may very well be the last time I see his beautiful face. I turn to look at the man I want to spend my life with. “I wish you were coming with me,” I say, “My car still has room. I made sure of it.” Sweet Pea’s heart strings tugged, “You did? What if I really didn’t want to come,” I perked up a bit, “Then tough for me.” He smiled when I said that he knew was serious about leaving the second I brought it up and commended me for not trying to force him to go with me. He respected my willpower and knew what he wanted. “Soo, where should I put these?” He asks pulling his bags from the bushes. He was teasing me this whole time, he was truly coming with. I could not contain the scream and jumped into his arms. “Oh my god, Thank. You. Thank. You. Thank. You,” I say, kissing him in between each word. 
Finally our lips met with such intensity that it knocked the wind right out of us. We pulled away panting. The wind around us started to pick up, it was almost as if Mother Nature knew what was happening. Once my feet hit the ground I grabbed Pea’s bags and threw them into the backseat. We both got into my car; with one final look at each other, a wide smile, I was pulling out my driveaway and heading to nowhere. With my ride or die by my side.

Minors
Okay so, I originally wrote this in response to this post (my friend's reblog is linked instead of the original because OP either deleted it from their blog I guess?), but I feel like this constitutes as its own post.
I know this may sound like an overbearing parent "don't trust strangers on the internet" talk, but like. I don't think a lot of you understand just how quickly a situation can escalate; it's scary. I mean that not in a condescending "you think you're untouchable you stupid little child, you don't really know what the world is like" way either, but as in, I don't think internet safety is being taught realistically, so those things you're told to watch out for are far-fetched or already seem suspect.
Predators don't work the way TV shows joke that they do -- most predators aren't going to try and message you at random posing as a teenage girl and attempt to strike up a friendship. A lot interact in community spaces like tumblr, where some level of anonymity is allowed, and it's not odd for there to be people of both minor and adult ages. They interact with a variety of people -- not just targets. They will have full-fledged social circles. Their blogs and social interactions will look like literally any other person's on here.
Then, of the different blogs they follow, they end up interacting a lot with a certain user. Maybe the kind of humor clicks, or similar opinions, or interests. Nothing out of the ordinary; that's how people make friends. Maybe then they start by sending an ask, or a message, or whatever, and that continues for a bit until you two are kind of acclimated to one another, and then, as far as everyone is concerned, it's just a new friend! Neat! That's how you make friends on the internet. They most likely did this with their other friends on tumblr. Nothing weird. In this hypothetical, the minor party has their full name and city public.
But then this person you make friends with -- the way you would any other person on this website -- turns out to be 10+ years your senior. Which like. Honestly, you don't have to cut them out of your life and block them immediately, but you inform them you're 10 years younger than them. A responsible adult would respond to that knowledge with anything from the range of "oh holy shit you're baby uhh I feel a little weird interacting with you so personally" to "oh goodness you are a youngling I will now enter caregiver/parent-like mode". And there will be an established tone from there of "we may still interact but there is going to always be a set emotional distance". It'll have a different dynamic/feeling to the friendships you have with people your age. And it should. Both parties can still care about each other! But this isn't someone you would like. Hang out one on one with. You wouldn't hang out with your mom's friend one on one, or at your teacher's home alone. That'd be weird, right? That should be the same kind of vibe you get with any adult "friendship" you make online (I put friendship in quotes because I feel like... there's a better term for it, or should be one that establishes that adult/minor relationship, but if there is I can't for the life of me remember it).
But maybe that person doesn't go down that path. Maybe it comes off that way at first, but there's a subtle level of emotional manipulation that is subtle enough that you're not certain you can accuse them of being manipulative. "Oh wow, you're so much younger than me... do you still want to talk to me / be friends / etc.? I can leave you alone now if you want." Warning sign #1: they are pressuring you to make the decision; they are placing responsibility on you. And it might feel a little mean to just drop communication all of a sudden because of age -- you got along fine before. Why should that change anything? That's a rational thought process, but it's also the one that benefits them too.
So hypothetically, you say "no it's okay, we can still talk. we were talking just fine before we found out each other's ages so why should that change?" And then maybe the conversation continues normally from there. But then they continue interacting with you as your peers would. You guys talk about stuff that's been stressing you or your problems, just like you would with your peers. Nothing seems out of the ordinary. Warning sign #2: That form of emotional connection isn't normal with an adult/minor relationship. I have minors that follow me. They have talked to me about their problems, and I've offered advice and wisdom; I don't condemn that because, well. As adults, we should help guide the younger if asked. But when it comes to my troubles, I limit how much I discuss with them. I don't bring them up myself (it's often brought up by the other party because I'll post about it on here, like a vent post or whatever). And while I don't brush them off with a short "don't worry about it", I make it clear -- I appreciate that you care enough to make sure I'm okay (because their sympathy / care is just as valuable as an adult's), but even if I'm not okay, the burdens and problems surrounding my troubles will be dealt with by me. I don't ask them for advice. I don't goad them for sympathetic words. And it's not that I believe they couldn't give good advice, or their sympathy means less, but an adult should not be relying on a minor for those levels of emotional labor. That established emotional connection where both parties exchange advice and comfort is how predators manipulate their victims because it's subtle and seemingly harmless, and difficult to paint them as a bad person when you have that level of emotional trust.
And once that emotional connection is established, that's when things can escalate, and get scary, quickly.
One day while talking they will probably bring it up -- the way one of your peers would. Something along the lines of "hey can I tell you something?" or "there's something I want to tell you but I'm afraid you won't want to talk to me anymore if I do" etc. etc.; with that peer/peer dynamic, that'll make you anxious, sure. You'd probably get anxious if they were your own age and said that too. So then, it comes out in some form that "I like you, but like... as more than a friend" or "I think you're really cute; I have for a bit now actually" or something similar. Obviously then it's uncomfortable.
But then you realize -- this is an adult. This is someone who has access to transportation. This is someone that doesn't have to report to someone (i.e. a minor can't just say "I'm going out of town for a week bye!" like your parents would, or SHOULD, be like "uh okay where are you going, who are you going to be with, why, etc. etc. etc."). And they know your full name and a general idea of where you live. You could just block them then and there and remove that information from your blog. But what if they already saved it? What if they already used one of those websites where you can look up a person's address by name for $5? What if they already know where you live, and they had planned on asking to meet up? They might know where you live. And you can't confirm or deny that they know. You can't say for sure if you removed that information before they saved it and used it for that purpose. Suddenly, there's the very real possibility that a pedophile that admitted to being attracted to you knows where you live.
Then what do you do? You should tell your parents or a trusted authority figure. But you're also a teenager and there's the likelihood that your parents might brush it off, or get angry with you, and you might get your internet taken away, etc., which is stressful because that takes away a major social area. To build upon the anxiety with that, there's the risk of unknowing if this person does know where you live, and if they do, if they are just unstable enough to do something drastic, like, y'know. Kidnap you. Because they know where you live. And they may know your school schedule too. And if your parents or trusted authority figure doesn't know about this situation, you may end up a missing child never found at worst, or found with far more trauma (5 years of life being kidnapped as opposed to a few months) that could've been avoided had someone known the situation.
But to 100% ensure your safety, it would have to be reported to the police. Because your parents can't do anything about the fact that a pedophile on the internet might know where you live. They can't confirm or deny that they know, and if they did, there's not much they can do other than keep an eye out for someone that looks out of the ordinary. But if they're most likely not home at the same time you are all the time. So, having the police involved ensures your safety -- if you open a case. You can report it to the police, and they'll ask: do you want to press charges (because it could be considered a form of child endangerment). If you say no, then that guarantees if you are kidnapped, that person would be the first they'd look to as a suspect. But to avoid that kidnapping risk at all, you'd have to say yes. And you're a kid that's now having to get involved in court just to avoid any risk to your safety because a pedophile may or may not have your address and may or may not be someone that would abduct their target, and so even if they didn't have your address and wouldn't kidnap you, you are now in a legal situation, which is. extremely. stressful. As someone's who's dealt with the court system a lot it's stressful no matter what.
And sure, you could omit the last step. But then you'll have that looming anxiety for as long as you're a minor that there is a possibility this person may show up at your house at some point. And that anxiety is fucking torture. I know it firsthand, I know all of this up to the legal portion firsthand, because this is exactly how I got tangled up with a pedophile in high school. That anxiety can make you paranoid. It impacts your sleep, which impacts your emotional tolerance and your concentration. It looms and there's nothing you can do to get rid of it other than convince yourself "they probably don't have my address; they probably won't find me". And that logic becomes sounder as time passes. But it requires time to pass, and in the meantime, you sit in constant suffering suspense.
It's just not fucking worth it, okay? You might think "this would never happen to me" but like. I was the fat emo weirdo in high school, literally considered attractive by no one and told so by peers and I still had it happen to me. So don't think "I'm not appealing enough" or whatever. Put self-esteem issues aside here, because to them, you're underage and at a power dynamic disadvantage not just physically, but most likely emotionally too. They care that you're a certain (under)age and can be manipulated into sexual acts. They will target you no matter how ugly you think you are or how unattractive your peers have convinced you.
So please. As an adult, that went through this situation (and could've had it turn out a lot worse tbh) -- do not disclose your real name (especially last names), location more specific than country, phone number, or school publicly online or to anyone you cannot 100% trust. I practice half of these in adulthood just to err on the side of caution since a full name and phone number alone could be used to find my address, and there are some preeeeetty unstable people out there. As a minor, absolutely no one needs any information unless you plan on meeting them in person, which should only be done after you've gotten to know them extremely well and both parties' parents know and are involved. It doesn't need to be on your public profile, and it shouldn't be on your public profile. I want your social media experience to be as enjoyable as possible, I don't want you feeling like you have to constantly keep an eye out for predators. But to keep yourself as safe as possible, don't purposefully make that information public. It's simple, but it’ll help you avoid so much potential stress.
Please stay safe.

Move On V (Modern!Ivar/Reader)
A/N: Hello! So here it is part 5 of Move On!☺️ a bit long, chaotic, boring, weird... idk, I was a bit angry at myself while writing this, but I hope you like it.

Anyway, enjoy!💕 And thanks for reading🥰
Warnings: mentions of alcohol (like a lot), mentions of sex, anxiety, sickness (linked to the previously mentioned alcohol), cheating, the reader is not in a good place, a bit of Hvitserk/Reader and Alfred/Reader. And I think that’s all. 
Words: 5314 (gods I’m really sorry)

Your phone woke you up. You jumped, startled, and groaned while you considered throwing it out the window. You rolled to your side, ignoring the pair of arms that hugged your waist and took your phone, barely opening your eyes before answering. 
"Hello?" 
"Y/N" Alfred's voice woke you up immediately, you hummed and rubbed your eyes as you yawned. 
"Hi" you sighed "Good morning"
He laughed, and you frowned softly before standing up and opening the curtains, widening your eyes when you saw the sun high in the sky, almost if it was about to go down again. 
"Good afternoon, you mean" he chuckled "It's two pm"
"What? Oh my god, no, I did it again" you moaned.
Alfred's laugh made you laugh too, you could almost see him shaking his head and smiling.
"It's okay, you probably needed it" he said softly "Don't worry" 
"I'm going to fail every single class" you groaned. 
"You won't, I'll give you my notes" he said "Can I go to yours in, let's say, half an hour? I would like to talk to you" 
"Sure" you nodded, yawning again "Come"
"Alright, I'll be there" he cleared his throat "See you"
"Bye" you muttered before hanging up. 
You had forgotten to set the alarm again, you really needed to stop drinking. 
Your eyes went back to the bed, leaving your phone on the bedside table before realizing what you had done and why you had to take someone's arms off of your waist before getting up. 
"Oh God, oh no no please no" you groaned rubbing your face as you grabbed your pillow, hitting his bare chest "Hvitserk!"
"What?" he sighed, not even opening his eyes.
You groaned again, laying down on the bed and closing your eyes. 
"I can't believe this" you muttered "My life is a joke"
"You were much happier to have me here last night" Hvitserk glared at you, hitting you with the same pillow. 
"Hvitserk... Did we have sex?" you turned your head to look at him, biting your lip. 
"You seriously don't remember?" he raised an eyebrow. 
You took a deep breath. You did remember some things, but preferred to forget it. 
"I really need to stop drinking" 
"Come on, Y/N" he chuckled "It's fine, we are both adults, adults can have sex without commitment, you did nothing wrong" 
"Hvitserk, you're my best friend and my boy... My ex boyfriend's brother" you shook your head. 
"And? I'm not going to stop being your friend now, Y/N" he sat on the bed "In fact, we can do this again whenever you want, because I don't remember many things either but the things I do remember are good... I'm joking, don't hit me" he put his hands up with a pout. 
You held back a smile. At least, you were happy to see it wasn't awkward. 
"We're a mess, Hvitty" 
"Maybe" he shrugged "But at least we're having a good time"
"Anyway" you got up, walking around to look for your clothes "Are you hungry?" 
Hvitserk didn't answer, raising an eyebrow, and you rolled your eyes as you entered the bathroom. 
"What a stupid question" you chuckled "Okay, I'm going to have a shower, you can maybe get dressed and cook something?" 
"I would but" he pointed at you, making you look down to realize you were wearing his shirt. You widened your eyes and then closed them, shaking your head slowly "And I ate you out twice last night, I think it's only fair if you cook" he narrowed his eyes. 
You covered your face again, sighing. 
"Okay, I'll cook, you can look in the wardrobe, there's some clothes in there" you muttered before closing the door. 
Leaning down on the sink, you looked at your own reflection on the mirror. Ivar's clothes. He had a lot of clothes in your flat that you didn't really think about after the break up. And now you were giving them to his brother. The brother you slept with. 
Your headache intensified and you made an effort to shut it out, blocking any possible thoughts that might enter your mind. 
You didn't really want to step out of the shower, but you had no other choice. The last thing you wanted was for Alfred to arrive and see a shirtless Hvitserk on your bed as you had a shower. You left your hair wet and dressed comfortably before stepping out of the bathroom. Hvitserk was still in bed, scrolling down his phone with a bored expression. 
"You can have a shower" you cleared your throat, suddenly shy "I'm going to cook something for... Lunch?" 
"Nice" he groaned "I'm starving... Hey, are you okay?" 
You bit your lip, taking a deep breath. 
"I'm just regretting my life decisions" you shrugged "But I do that a lot" 
"Y/N" Hvitserk sounded a bit more serious, and this time you looked at him "Stop thinking about it, okay? You needed to unwind a bit, to relax, and to stop thinking about him, it's just sex, it won't change anything, I'm still the same person and so are you" 
"I know, Hvitty" you muttered, looking down to the floor with a small pout "But this can't happen again" 
"Fine, if you don't want to, we won't do this again, but don't waste your time regretting things you've done and enjoyed" he got up, ruffling your hair before entering the bathroom "It's not worth it"
He had a point. His words replayed on your mind as you went to the kitchen, standing in front of the nearly empty fridge. You were finishing the scrambled eggs and the toasts when the doorbell rang. Quickly, you turned the stove off and walked to the door. 
Alfred looked like a real prince. He had a bouquet of flowers on his hands, and his cheeks were reddened. His green eyes looked at you almost shyly, and your mouth parted in surprise. 
"I... Hello" you chuckled, nervously. 
"Hi" he cleared his throat "I'm sorry if you think this is too much, Torvi nearly forced me to" he glanced at the flowers. White lilies. They matched Alfred's energy so well "But I thought you might like them" 
"Yeah" you snapped out of your trance, shaking your head as you stepped back to let him enter the flat "They're beautiful, thanks, I just... Didn't expect it" 
"I also have the notes" he frowned softly, making you laugh. 
"Okay, thanks, I'll... Put these on water" you took them carefully, admiring them for a moment before leaving them on the table while you looked for a recipient big enough. 
"So... Um..." Alfred cleared his throat "Sorry for waking you up this morning" 
"Oh, that's okay, I think it was about time I woke up" you giggled "You don't need to apologize" 
"And... Did you have any plans for today?" he bit his lip. 
"I intended to be a functional adult during the day, but, as you can see, that is not going to happen" you shrugged "And I have one of Torvi's girls night in a few hours"
"She mentioned that" he whispered "I... Would you like to go out sometime one of these days? I'd like to take you out for dinner or lunch, because I don't think you're eating properly" he eyed the toasts and scrambled eggs you abandoned on the pan, making you laugh.
"You're probably right" you nodded "And yeah, sure, that would be nice" 
Alfred's eyes lightened up, and his bright smile made you feel some butterflies in your stomach. He really was the sweetest boy in the world. 
"Cool" he nodded "Any preference?"
"Not really, I'm fine with a pizza" you shrugged with a smile. It felt good to make plans with someone that wasn't related to your ex boyfriend. 
"I'll stick to Italian, then" 
"Thank you" you repeated "For the flowers, and the notes, and for checking up on me" you giggled again "You're the best"
Alfred blushed again. His heart beat faster and faster as he thought you looked really cute with damp hair an oversized hoodie and a pair of old sweatpants. You always looked cute, but that day he couldn't take his eyes off of you.
"It's nothing, really, I just care about you" he shrugged, looking away in embarrassment. You bit your lip and moved to hug him softly. Alfred froze, not used to close physical contact with women, but then he moved his hands to your waist, hugging you still a bit hesitant. 
"Seriously, thank you, for everything" you muttered against his neck, and he nodded, taking a deep breath. Suddenly, he cupped your face, making you look at him with a confused frown before he leant in, pressing his lips against yours. 
You widened your eyes in surprise, but kissed him back. He kissed you sweetly, softly, almost like he was afraid to hurt you. Closing your eyes, you let yourself hug his neck and deepen the kiss. He barely moved, with his arm around your neck and his other hand on your face, caressing your cheek softly with his thumb. 
Alfred sighed against your lips, and just when you were about to start running your fingers through his hair, the floor of the kitchen creaked, startling the both of you. Hvitserk stood a few meters from you, with a towel on his hands and his eyebrows raised. His lips were starting to curve on a smirk. 
"Hello"
"Oh my god, Hvitserk" you muttered, covering your face. 
"I... Didn't know you weren't alone" Alfred frowned while glaring at Hvitserk, whose attention had been diverted to the food on the counter. 
"Yeah, sorry, Hvitserk spent the night and... I probably should have mentioned that" you sighed. 
"No, it's okay, don't apologize" he cleared his throat and tried to smile, even thought it looked more like a grimace "I should leave, I just wanted to..." he didn't finish the phrase nor looked at you. 
"Okay" you muttered, walking behind him as he approached the door "Thank you again"
"It was nothing" he finally looked at you with a small smile "Take care, Y/N, see you" 
He left before you could even open your mouth, and you sighed again, bumping your head softly against the door. 
"You know, when I said you should move on I didn't mean 'fuck every single person you know in less than 24 hours'" Hvitserk laughed with his mouth full, making you roll your eyes. 
"I don't know what happened" you closed the door, walking back to the kitchen and frowning when you realized Hvitserk was eating all the food. 
"This time you can't blame the alcohol" he laughed "He brought you flowers, at least he worked for it" 
You caressed the lilies absentmindedly, your heart breaking softly at the thought of Alfred thinking you had used him. 
"He kissed me" you muttered.
"I'd be surprised if he didn't" Hvitserk winked at you "The poor boy has been in love with you for years" 
It took you a few seconds to process his words. 
"Excuse me?"
He smiled, yawning as he opened the fridge again. 
"Everyone knows it, Y/N, even my brother" he shrugged "Why do you think Ivar couldn't stand him? He was jealous, it didn't help that you have to be so nice with everyone" 
Ivar. Fuck, you were thinking about him again. You cursed his name a few times and suddenly missed him more than ever. This was his fault. He was the one that kept you sane. His absence made you go crazy. 
"So you're saying Alfred likes me and everyone knew it and no one told me?" 
"I'm sure someone did, but the fact that you're oblivious to absolutely everything doesn't help, it's a bit obvious" he raised an eyebrow "He kissed you, I think that's a pretty good confirmation" 
You sighed, letting yourself fall on the couch covering your face with your arm. You needed some alcohol to cope with this.
_________________________________________________
"So you slept with Hvitserk and then kissed Alfred? I'm proud of you" Thora giggled, laying on your bed as you walked around the room, trying on different clothes after she appeared on your door looking like a model. You felt betrayed, as you had made her promise you both would wear jeans and maybe a cute top when you called to invite her to Torvi's girls' night. You needed moral support. 
"I'm losing my mind, Thora" you sighed, sitting down next to her as you drank the rest of your glass of wine. You were already dizzy. 
"Why? You're single, you should have done this before" she shrugged "I bet Ivar wasn't feeling bad when he fucked Freydis for the first time after leaving you" 
You winced at that. It was a thought that had crossed your mind more than once, did he miss you at all? Did those last four years mean something to him? How much time had taken him to start acting like a couple with Freydis? 
"Sorry, was I too harsh?" Thora bit her lip, looking at you with a worried gaze. 
"It's okay" you shook your head. The sooner you realized Ivar was going on with his life and not paying a single thought to you, the better "It's just... I slept with his brother, my best friend" you groaned "And then I kissed Alfred" 
"Stop thinking about it, Y/N" she rolled her eyes "You did what you did, you enjoyed it, what's the point of overthinking it? Just wear the tight dress and the heels, do your make up and let's go partying, you need more than a glass of wine" 
You looked at the now empty glass, pouting. 
"Actually, it's the third glass of wine" 
She widened her eyes and took a deep breath.
"Okay, then maybe just drink a couple of beers after this" 
You nodded, standing up to put the dress on. 
"I keep saying you and Hvitserk would make a really good couple" you smiled softly. 
"The guy you had sex with?"
Narrowing your eyes, you turned around to glare at her again. 
"It was friendly sex" 
"But was it good, at least?" Thora giggled. 
You laughed, shaking your head. 
"I barely remember but... Yeah, it was good" you shrugged "Hvitserk is probably the most experienced one of his brothers"
"Better than...?"
Your smile faded as you looked at yourself in the mirror. No, no one would ever been better than Ivar. Not to you. 
_______________________________________
Alfred didn't answer your messages. You had sent him five texts, deciding to stop before you crossed the line of the actual harassment. He hadn't replied, which was strange because he always replied almost immediately. He was definitely mad at you, and now you felt like the worst person ever. 
"Stop looking at your phone" Thora rolled her eyes, slightly annoyed "We're here to have a good time, aren't we?" she pointed at the club Torvi had chosen as you stood just next to the door.
"I suppose so..."
"I know that the word fun hasn't been on your vocabulary lately, but tonight just try to forget about your ex, the guy that likes you and about the friend you slept with last night" 
You nodded. She was right. No drama that night, just relax and alcohol. You needed a shot, though. 
"You're right, yeah, I'm going to..." after checking your notifications for the last time, you turned your phone off, burying it inside your purse and smiling proudly at Thora, who sighed and hugged you softly. 
"Torvi said they were arriving" you informed "So they should be here..." you looked around, scanning the street until you saw her, waving at you excitedly as she approached with the rest of the group "Soon" you muttered as you saw her walking next to Torvi and a girl with black hair. Fuck, no. 
Freydis shot you a wide smile. They reached you before you could react and, maybe, run away. 
"Hi!" Torvi hugged you excitedly "How are you? Sorry we're a bit late"
"That's okay" you cleared your throat "Um... This is Thora" you ignored the lump that appeared on your throat. 
"Hello! It's nice to meet you" Torvi smiled "I'm Torvi, these are Gunhild, Blaeja and Freydis... Y/N, you don't know Blaeja, do you?"
Thora did widen her eyes at the mention of Freydis' name, and eyed you worryingly as she greeted everyone. You could barely speak. Your heart raced at the sight of her and it didn't help that she kept staring at you with a smile. 
"It's so good to see you" Freydis linked her arm with yours, making you tense up almost immediately "We never had the chance to catch up!" 
You could feel everyone's eyes on you, nearly waiting for you to start crying. Torvi bit her lip and looked at you worryingly, while Thora just glared at Freydis. You wanted nothing more than push her away and run, feeling as trapped as you had felt when you ran into them at the cafeteria. That last time you could barely speak and ran to the toilet to calm yourself down, but this time... 
"I'm fine" you mimicked her wide smile "Better than I ever was" 
Freydis looked surprised, maybe she thought you'd be intimidated by her. But she looked even happier now. 
"I'm happy to hear that!" she sounded genuine, and this time you were the one surprised "I always tell Ivar we should invite you and Alfred to have dinner or maybe have a drink, but I think he doesn't like your boyfriend very much... He is your boyfriend, right?" she widened her eyes, acting like a girl that just had a reunion with her best friend from high school. 
"Um... Alfred and I are just friends" you raised an eyebrow. 
"Oh" she pouted "A shame, the two of you look perfect together" 
"I know, right?" Torvi joined as she pushed the two of you into the club, winking at the doorman when he lifted the rope so you could pass "I always tell them, they look really cute together" she looked relived that you hadn't cried yet, and she offered you a sympathetic smile "And Y/N deserves a guy like Alfred, he even skips work to see her, and we're talking about a guy that enters the office at six am and leaves at twelve even if he's the boss" she giggled. 
You cleared your throat, finding it awkward to be talking about this with your ex's girlfriend. Excusing yourself, you approached Thora again. She had a frown on her face and narrowed her eyes at Freydis. 
"What's this about?" she whispered as you left your coats on the wardrobe "What is she doing here?" 
"I have no idea" you sighed "I need three drinks and two shots" 
"I'll buy them for you" she patted your shoulder with a sad smile. You were more convinced than ever that your life was a joke, and whoever controlled your fate was having a blast doing so. 
_____________________________________________
Turns out that the drinks and the shots didn't help. Instead, they left you a bit shaky, dizzy and with a headache. The loud music and the blinding lights weren't helping either. You'd give your life to go back home and get into bed again to sleep for days. 
But, if you were going to put up with a beautiful, loud and nice Freydis, you needed another drink. You stumbled to the bar, followed by Torvi, who looked a bit wary when you announced your intentions. Thora had gotten on with Gunnhild pretty well, and Blaeja and Freydis looked like best friends.
"I didn't know she was coming" she reassured you as soon as you were alone "Blaeja invited her and... I'm really sorry"
"It's fine" you shook your head "I'll get over it" 
Torvi nodded slowly. 
"Did Alfred visit you this morning?" her smile faltered when you got your drink and drank half of it at once. 
"Yeah" you looked away, nervously "He brought me his notes and... Lilies" 
Torvi looked delighted.
"And... Are you going to see him soon?" her big eyes scrutinized your face. 
"Maybe" you shrugged. For a moment, you nearly told her what had happened that morning, but you didn't really want to talk about it. Not drunk, when you could accidentally say that you had sex with Hvitserk when you were too drunk and thinking about Ivar, and that then you had kissed Alfred in the kitchen as Hvitserk finished his shower. "I'll call him" 
She looked happy with that answer, and turned around to order her own drink. You looked away, to the crowd of people singing and dancing happily. Not so long ago, you had been one of them. Your eyes found Freydis and you felt like crying again. She looked happy, and stunning, and her eyes were lightened up. Did you look like that when you were with Ivar? Probably. He had his own way of loving, and he made you feel so unique and special even when you weren't in the same room as him. 
For a moment, you understood her. Ivar had that mysterious thing, maybe it was his intense eyes, his stare, his smile or his bad mood, but you knew you were going to fall hard as soon as you met him. He was beautiful, and you knew it was impossible to resist him, you knew it because you indeed fell hard, and continued falling for years, until you were sure you wouldn't be able to get up again. Maybe she had felt that too. Maybe she fell in love with him and just fought harder than you. You couldn't blame her, not even if every single part of your body wanted to demonize her and make her guilty, in the end it was Ivar who chose her.
"Are you coming?" Torvi had gotten her drink, and now was walking back to the dance floor.
"I'm going to stay here for a couple of minutes, I'll go later" you smiled at her. She stared at you for a couple of seconds, but nodded and left. Your throat burned and you felt like crying again. The pressure on your chest intensified and your ears started ringing. Taking a deep breath, you got up from your seat and stumbled, leaning into the dark wall until you reached the toilet. 
Sighing in relief when you realized it was empty, you leant into the sink, trying to control your breath as your entire body shook. It was nearly impossible to breath, and the room was spinning around you. You were regretting every single drop of alcohol you drank that night when you moved to the toilet, closing the stall door behind you before kneeling to throw up. 
Luckily, no one else entered. Your throat burned and you were already sleepy when you finished, sitting down to lean your head onto the wall, regretting every single decision you had taken in the past twenty four hours. 
In fact, you even regretted the moment that you saw Ivar Lothbrok for the first time. 
Your makeup was nearly ruined, and you looked like you just came out of a horror movie. After trying to fix it a bit, you took your small purse and went out of the toilet. Just when you were opening the door, you heard a giggle to your right, which startled and made you frown at the same time. You really didn't want to see anyone in that moment. 
The emergency exit was the only thing to your right, and you got a glimpse of a familiar shade of blonde hair leaving just before the door shut. You frowned, your head hurt and your legs were weak, you wanted nothing more than go home, wash your teeth, have a quick shower and sleep for the entire weekend. But you were curious now. Was that...?
Looking around to see if anyone saw you, you walked to the door slowly, your head pumping at the rhythm of the loud music. You opened it just a bit, enough to poke your head out and look around. It led to an alley, full of trash bins and a single streetlight, but enough to differentiate the two people that were making out passionately a few meters from you. You raised an eyebrow and were about to leave when the guy moved a bit. He was tall, but when he moved, the light hit the girl squeezed between him and the brick wall, and you froze. 
Freydis closed her eyes and tilted his head as he kissed her neck with a smile on her lips. Then he kissed her again. You walked back slowly, closing the door softly to avoid making any noise, but as soon as you were back on the hallway, you nearly ran to the entrance, reaching the dance floor and crossing it as fast as your shaky legs allowed you. 
"Y/N!" 
Thora grabbed your arm, making you jump. She frowned as soon as she saw your face. 
"What happened? Where were you? You look like you've seen a ghost" 
You shook your head, rubbing your face. 
"I was in the toilet, I..." you sighed when the rest of the girls approached you "I'm not feeling well, I should go home" you forced a smile.
"Hey, are you okay?" Torvi looked genuinely worried "We can go with you..."
"No, no, please just stay and... Have fun" you shrugged "Don't mind me"
"I'm going with you" Thora nodded, glaring at you when you tried to argue "I'm not letting you leave all alone while drunk, Y/N, so shut up and go take your coat" 
Sighing in defeat, you followed her to the wardrobe. Torvi kept walking behind you, but she couldn't reach you until you stopped. 
"Hey, Y/N, if this is about Freydis being here, I swear..."
"It's not" you interrupted her, a bit more rudely than you intended "It has nothing to do with her" you lied "I'm just tired, I don't feel well and I think I should go home, that's all" you softened your tone and tried to smile.
She nodded slowly, but kept looking at you as you took your coat, putting it on before walking outside of the club without waiting for Thora. The noise was driving you crazy. 
"Are you sure everything's okay?" Torvi followed you outside. You were starting to lose your patience "I can call Alfred and tell him to go to yours..." 
"I don't think Alfred wants to see me now" you snapped "He won't answer my messages, he doesn't want to see me, I fucked up" you nearly yelled, your eyes filled with tears and you felt Thora's hand on your arm, caressing it softly. 
"What are you talking about?" she looked surprised "I don't..."
"Hvitserk spent the night" you nearly sobbed "Alfred came and he was there, so he left, and now he won't reply to me"
"Hvitserk?" Torvi frowned "What do you mean he spent the night? I thought Alfred and you..."
"We're not dating!" you raised your voice involuntarily. The tears started falling down your cheeks and some of the people that walked down the street looked at you. You must have looked like a mad woman... At least, that's how you felt "Alfred is my friend, and I never knew he intended to be more than that until this morning, when he brought me flowers and kissed me! I was drunk and I slept with Hvitserk, and what about it? I'm single, my boyfriend left me for someone else, I can have sex with whoever I want!"
Torvi glared at you. You felt kind of bad for yelling at her. It wasn't her fault and you were just venting, but it felt so good to say it...
"Yes, you can do whatever you want, but the fact that you're hurt doesn't mean you can hurt someone else too" she pressed her lips together "Alfred really likes you, so please don't break his heart"
You raised an eyebrow. You could feel the anger radiating off of you, and Thora might have felt it too because she gripped your arm more tightly. 
"I didn't know" you were exasperated "I didn't know he liked me, I never wanted to hurt anyone, Torvi, but you can go and think I'm the worst person in the world if you want to" you glared at her "You know?You could have had this same conversation with Ivar, when he literally flirted with someone else in front of me and in front of everyone, but you chose to ignore it, and now I'm the bad one for hurting Alfred when we're just friends" you rolled your eyes. Thora called your name softly, pushing you away from Torvi "Anyway, have fun" you nearly spat before turning around to leave. 
____________________________________
Thora left the warm cup of tea on the table in front of you. You dried the tears with the back of your hand. Dressed on your pajamas and freshly showered you did feel a bit better. At least you weren't dizzy and your head didn't hurt that much anymore. The pressure on your chest was still there, but it was easier to ignore. 
"Hey" your friend caressed your hair softly "Come on, drink it and we'll go to bed, stop thinking" 
You stared at the cup for a couple of minutes, until you finally grabbed it, taking a sip. The warm liquid relaxed you and calmed you down a bit, and you closed your eyes to hold onto that feeling. 
"Y/N, you can't keep doing this to yourself" Thora whispered "You have to move on, but drinking and torturing yourself like this isn't the solution" 
"Hvitserk said the same" you whined "I acted like a real asshole, didn't I?" 
"Well, you were right" she smiled "It's not your fault, you were drunk and nervous and you just exploded. Seeing Freydis was too much, maybe" 
Freydis. Fuck, you had forgotten about her and the guy she was kissing on that alley. Suddenly, you felt like throwing up again. 
You took the purse you had left on the table, grabbing your phone and turning it on. You groaned when seeing the huge amount of messages and missed calls you had. Alfred replied. And he called you too. 
I'm really sorry, I was working and my phone died
I'm not mad at you, I just wasn't expecting Hvitserk to be there again
And the most recent one made you bit your lip. 
Torvi called me and told me what happened, are you okay? Do you need anything? Please call me back, I think we need to talk
Torvi and Gunnhild had also called you. You felt even worse when you read Torvi's texts. She apologized and asked you to call as soon as you could. 
Hvitserk's made you smile. Have fun tonight, but don't do anything I wouldn't do. You definitely fell in love with the wrong Lothbrok. 
And then you saw it. With everything that had happened, you had forgotten about the text you sent to Ivar, and never looked at his reply. Hell, you thought he wouldn't even reply. 
Yeah, thanks.
For some reason, it made you angry. He broke your heart, he left you and showed he didn't care about you in any way. And when you heard he was going through a rough time, you still reached out to him, just to receive that answer, as if you were the one that did things wrong. 
Your finger hesitated just before you pressed the call icon. Thora raised an eyebrow and watched as you locked the phone and left it on the table, sighing in annoyance. 
"I think I'm going to sleep"

You.
Dear You,
I am writing to you because I am sad and I don’t have anyone to talk to. Because all my friends are tired of hearing about this and I feel like they pity me when I do. Also, I may or may not be a bit inebriated.
Our love started good, it was like finding someone you’ve known all your life. It’s like we picked up where we left off, even if we are virtually strangers. I honestly don’t know what made me fall for you, perhaps its how you decided that you want me, and no one has ever wanted me that surely before. Perhaps it’s how easy I found talking to you is, it’s like I’ve known you all my life. It wasn’t awkward even if I’m all but that. Initially, I thought that it’s weird that I had feelings for you because it didn’t make any sense at all. But all I knew is that I want to be with you. Wanted. For the first time, I actually saw a future with someone. I actually wanted to be with someone. I spent a lot of time alone, I was not desperate to be with anyone. Like I told you when we first started talking, I wasn’t planning on looking for a relationship. I was just honestly there cos I was bored and wanted to talk to people. Then I met you.
When you first encountered problems, I told myself that it’s time to leave. It was too much too soon. I wanted to comfort you and be there for you even if I knew you didn’t want to. My stupid mouth slipped and accidentally told you that I love you. Maybe that was the start of the end, beginning of nothing, because it was too much too soon. Perhaps you only got carried away by how I feel so you decided that you also felt the same, even if it wasn’t the reality. Regardless, I pushed that anxiety down because you said you loved me. It felt amazing, like a breath of fresh air. You were telling me things that I’ve never heard anyone say to me, making promises that sounded like I’m the only girl in the world. Too bad they are just words.
I immediately got used to being around you, even when the signs said that you’re not fond of it. I felt like I was bothering you all the time but then you would have moments where you would act like you’re so in love with me. I told myself that maybe the good times are worth it. The best part you did that made me feel like maybe you truly do care is when you spent time with me even after your long shift from work, just to make sure I’m okay. I was holding onto this, so much. Every time someone says that I’mbeing treated like shit, I always tell them no because I’ve seen this part of you that cared. But that’s the thing, I can’t keep holding out to when you decide to be like that again.
February came around and I was so excited because it will be the first time in years that I will be celebrating Valentine’s Day with a boyfriend. The day came and you didn’t even greet me, you said nothing. I felt stupid for hoping that you’d care. I brushed it off, the pain, because I knew it was your birthmonth. I said maybe you’re just not a valentine’s day person. Maybe you’re just not romantic. I pushed all the hurt and anxiety down. I worked tirelessly to earn enough to send you some gifts to make you feel special on your day, because you told me that no one has cared enough to give you a gift. I wanted to make you feel special, even with the distance. I was so happy because I succeeded! You were happy, you felt special! That was the goal. You started being warmer and sweet towards me, I was happy because I thought hey it’s turning around finally! Yay. But I didn’t know that it would last only for a couple of weeks before we got back to you ignoring me again and making me feel as if I don’t matter. I thought that you getting a Nintendo Switch would save our relationship, cos we’d spend more time together. But it didn’t last for long. You got tired of it and we’re back to our normal routine. Maybe you deleting the stupid post I made on your game was enough premonition to me that you didn’t want people to know you’re taken. You explained everything then, I thought to myself – wow he didn’t just shut off. This is progress. I thought you were telling the truth. I believed you.
Admittedly, what I did next is wrong. I listened to people who said that you weren’t serious with me. I didn’t want to believe hem, believe me. But after seeing what they had to show, it was hard not to believe it. Especially knowing that it was a romantic thing that never panned out. It made me feel like you were still hoping to someday be with them. That you’re only with me because I’m the one who’s available. Maybe that’s another problem of mine, I’ve made myself so available to you. Even when I’m busy or not feeling my best, I would always run to you the moment you need me. Give you whatever you need even if I have nothing. Because to me, that’s love. While I was loving you, I forgot to love myself. I started picking on myself, maybe if I look more like them then you’d pay me enough attention. Maybe if I act more like them then you’d feel as if it’s not a chore to be with me. Because those are the things that you made me feel. That I have to act a certain way to be with you. You only wanted Happy me, not the sad depressed mei. Which is so unfair. But I said, hey maybe that’s what lve is. And god, I was dumb to think of that. I tried to push the negativity out again, after we talked. I tried to tell myself that I can do it. That I wouldn’t want to lose the potential future we have. But then I saw you looking at other women, you said you enjoy their content but their content is porn. It made me feel horrible yet again. It made me feel disgusted and disgusting. That maybe you only liked me because of what I am. I felt sick to my stomach seeing you enjoy ABGs shaking their ass on screens, I felt fetishized. You were acting as if you’re single, looking at these women with their tits and asses out. You were giving them the attention that I wanted. Even after promising that you won’t. I tried to bargain against myself, thinking that maybe you’d change but it just doesn’t feel right. I was willing to look the other way and take what you say and believe it. But at the end of the day, those are just words right?
I guess its too much for me to ask to be respected? I don’t know. All I know is that when I’m with you, I feel small. Insignificant. Ugly. Unwanted. Unloved. I’ve never felt this pain before, and I’ve been through so much. Maybe it’s my fault because I ignored all the signs. But I was so in love with you, you don’t even know it. I put you up in a pedestal, thinking you won’t do anything to hurt me. Because I thought we saw each other eye to eye. I didn’t know I was wrong. I guess red flags are just flags when you’re wearing rose colored glasses. All I wanted was honesty, all I offered was honesty. Never have I ever lied to you in the duration of our relationship.
I don’t know why I’m writing. I don’t even know if I’ll send this. Maybe.  Maybe not. Not sober, at least. I doubt you’ll even care. I doubt you’d even read it. I doubt it. Maybe this is the universe’s sick revenge, karma, for all the guys I’ve ghosted and hurt before you.
I want you to know that I really did love you. I’ve given you my all. And this is the same reason why I want you to stop pursuing me. Especially if you’re not ready. Because I will always come back to you. Because you will always have a space in my heart. But if you truly love me, please spare me the pain.
I really wanted it to work. So bad. That I was willing to look past how much I’m hurting. I guess you’re right, maybe I’m too emotional. But it’s something I’m proud of, especially after being robbed of emotions all my life. It’s not wrong of me to feel things, I worked so hard for it. I was so vulnerable with you, completely no walls barred. Maybe that was wrong of me. Maybe I should have left some for myself. That’s just how I am, I love so hard and selflessly. I’m sorry if it was too much for you.  I’m sorry I had to leave the way I did. I needed to save myself of the pain. I just can’t handle it anymore.
Maybe one day, if you find yourself here or I there, maybe we could try again. When we’re both ready for each other. But for now, good bye and thank you for everything. I’m sorry for everything as well.
PS- don’t forget to cut yourself some slack. You are trying your best with what you have, you have overcame a lot and you should be proud of that every single day. As I am.   You will live a fruitful life with someone who will love you unconditionally and understand you completely, without it being so difficult.

the 1994 battle of the performers masterlist
Chapter 1: Milo’s
Tumblr media
“Hi, is this the Peters residents?”
Whoever picked up the phone shushed the person that was yelling in the background, missing the reserver as I could hear everything.
“Who’s asking?” The voice was rough and it reminded me of my step-mother and her never-ending cigarette problem.
“I know your son, I was wondering if he was home because I have something of his,” I looked to the well planned out history notes that I held tightly in my hand.
I know I could have, no should have, just waited for Monday to return the papers but I couldn’t stop thinking about yesterday in the gym and that stupid video.
Was I actually decent? I knew I wasn’t the same level I was at one point but I had a chance and according to the four, she wasn’t bad.
“He’s not here, that boy, he’s probably at that Bobby’s boy house,” I nodded even if they couldn’t hear me, understanding this nasty language more than I wish.
“Do you know their address?”
“Yeah yeah, 458 Sunset Road,” I opened my mouth, ready to thank the lady but the phone was hung up quickly and I rolled my eyes. I was thankful that my parents with ahead and divorce when things started getting bad.
I grabbed the papers a little tighter in my hands, realizing I lived a block or so from the house in question and left the keys on my bedside table. No need to waste gas for some notes that I didn’t even need to drop off. I walked down the carpet stairs of my house and walked out the front door.
As soon as I made it from the door I felt the sun run over my skin, calming to my overthinking mind as I grabbed the railing, careful not to make my knee worse.
Did they delete the video as I asked?
Was this stupid?
I knew how desperate they were, it could have been all a plan to get me a part of the team because if I trusted them then some other dancers might. I was respected in the dance community and I knew the numbers to call.
I watched my feet, skipping each crack in the pavement as I did so for something for my brain to focus on.
Would they really help me face this fear?
Were they just selfish?
As I turned down one of the roads I could hear a faint sound of loud music drift over the streets, kids drawing on the road with chalk and bobbing their head.
I couldn’t believe the difference in the two sides of the neighbors, how proper and elegant my side was compared to the dancing kids, and the loud music. I spotted a small lemonade stand across from the house I was heading for.
A light smile graced my lips, amazed at the little community the little space had. It wasn’t just doctors and lawyers packed together trying to be better than the next yard.
I stopped at the driveway for the house, looking over the black roof and the white exterior of the house. Would it be weird just showing up?
We weren’t friends, no problem between me and the four but still, I definitely shouldn’t know where one lives and the only reason I knew that was from a phone call with the Peters, which I got from the phone book.
Maybe this was weird, very very weird. I panicked when I heard some sort of door open, the loud boyish laugh drifting from wherever to my spot at the end of the driveway.
“That might be one of our best works,” the happy voice was nice, the atmosphere obviously better than yesterday.
I panicked, turning around while my sweaty hands gripped the notes in my hand tightly.
“(Y/N)?”
I closed my eyes, taking a small breath in and turning back to the four boys I knew were looking at me widely.
“Hi,” I nodded, looking at each of their confused faces. I knew this would be weird.
“I have Reggie’s notes,” I held them out to the boy who was clad in a leather jacket as he gave a soft smile.
“Thanks, how’d you know I’d be here?”
I was thankful his voice was disgusted and angry but nice and gentle, just what I needed right now.
“Found you in the phone book,” I nodded, wondering if I should apologize for the household, but I backed off when I realized it wasn’t my place.
“You called my parents?”
I watched his shoulders drop, his face psychically panicking as he looked back to his friends for some help.
“Yeah, they seemed Uhm, nice?”
Reggie watched me for a few seconds while I rocked back and forth on my beat-up tennis shoes, doing my best not to combust at the sight.
“Oh, Uhm yeah,” he nodded, a mutual agreement made with each other's eyes not to mention any farther.
“Is that all?”
Patterson, or Luke, stood behind Reggie obviously trying to protect the boy from whatever I might say next.
“No,” I nodded, doing my best to come off as friend and not foe but it felt too late from that as Luke gave a grumpy smile.
“Bye bye then,” Luke waved, keeping Reggie close to his side. Reggie looked up at Luke, begging him to stop his anger to me.
I turned around, doing my best to run away for the four without making myself look more like an idiot, but I’ve never been great about that with boys.
“Do you have the video?”
Shut up (Y/N)!
“Uhm, yeah,” Bobby cut in, his voice calm as if not to scare me or make me mad. I didn’t know which but I understood both sides.
“Can I see it?” I turned back around this time, taking in some heavy breaths as I prepared for faces that looked like they would hurt me, but it never came.
Reggie looked to be bouncing on his heels as his smile grew ten times the size, Alex looked to be taking breaths that were calming his nerves, Bobby nodding his head at me with a smirk, and Luke looked to bite his bottom lip trying to hide his smile.
“Yeah, no totally,” Luke looked at his other bandmates, smirking as he walked past me. I was about to say something, pointing over at the house where they had just left from.
“We have to get Milo’s first,” Luke called over his shoulder, pointing over at the lemonade stand that I noticed once I turned the block.
“Milo’s?” I watched the other three follow Luke, each turning back to me while waving their arms.
“You’ll never have anything better,” Alex called over his shoulder, smiling once the little boy came running from the house. He almost came alive at the sight of the boys standing in front of his stand, the boy couldn’t be more than 8.
I slowly walked across the street, looking to both sides twice before jogging to join the boys that seemed to smile as the little boy made it down his stair railing and skipped to the older ones.
“Morning boys,” he spoke with a small lisp and seemed to be missing a tooth but his smile would have lit up a room in the entire state.
“Morning Milo,” Luke responded, leaning against the stand before it shook slightly and he hurriedly pulled away.
“Who’s that?”
He didn’t seem bothered by my presence, just curious about it. I was wondering why I never knew about what went on around the block from my house, but that didn’t matter as Reggie grabbed my wrist and pulled me to the front.
“A friend from school, her name (Y/N),” Bobby introduces me, the boy smiling as he holds his hand out for a handshake. I reached out, placing my hand in his and he gave a firm shake. I was shocked at his confidence, making me miss my own.
“I’m Milo, Sunset Road official lemonade and bakery stand,” his voice made a smile grace my lips, watching as he left a cute little kiss on my knuckle, earning a laugh from the other boys.
“Okay loverboy, we demand service,” Luke jokily slammed his hand on the table of the stand, pulling the sweater on my arm so he rested back to my side.
“Coming up!”
The boy dived behind the stand, pulling out a cheap bucket he got from a local shop with four mason jars inside. Once he pulled them out I noticed that each one had glitter and colored paper. Each had different drawings and little cut-outs.
I reached from one, Luke trying to grab my arm but I was already spinning it around, in horrible handwritten was the name “LUKE” in all capital letters.
“Oh wow,” I smiled at the horrible handwritten and the little microphone that definitely didn’t look like a microphone. The blue and red glitter made the sight even better.
“They made them once they became regular after babysitting me one night,” Milo cut in, holding up a finger to run back in the house, probably to grab the lemonade.
I smiled turning around and smiling at the others around us. Bobby looked as embarrassed but Alex was simply laughing at the others and Reggie looked proud.
“I came to watch my tape but this might be better,” I tried to turn my laugh into a cough since I still wasn’t that close with the boys.
“Hush,” Luke bumped my shoulder. Milo's wide laugh brought me back to the boy as he held a plain mason jar in his hand.
Tumblr media
I couldn’t believe myself as I watched my feet glide across the floor, for the first time in a long time. I definitely wasn’t as good as I once was, which made me upset me but I still wasn’t half that bad.
“See! We told you,” Luke had made sure to sit close beside me on the couch of what seemed to be their studio. He wanted to watch how I reacted, thinking I would change my mind.
I couldn’t help but think I would, I mean I came here on a Saturday for a reason and it wasn’t the return notes.
“I’m not as good as I was, but I’m not bad,” I kept watching, smiling before I watched myself spin. My body falling to the floor as it did all those months ago, the horror-filled me up before Alex ripped the video camera from my grip.
“That’s not important,” he nervously laughed, hiding the camera behind his back but I could still hear their panicked voice from yesterday still.
“Because it will never happen again,” Reggie cut in, I could already tell he was optimistic for the four.
“But it could and one more bad fall and I might not walk again.”
I knew how dramatic I sounded but it seemed the only way to get through their skulls. I rolled my eyes, standing up from the couch, not even stopping as I walked to the open doors.
“I don’t know why I even came, I’ll see you guys around,” I waved over my shoulder, letting the video that I would hope have given me hope finally stop playing behind the blonde boys back.
“You came because you miss it.”
I shouldn’t have thought over Luke’s words, he just wanted to win the Battle of the Performers, but man it struck a deep chord. He took me rooted at the door as a sign to continue.
“You miss dancing and if I was as good as you I would be too,” Luke's voice grew closer and closer as he walked closer to my frozen figure.
“I have a question for you,” I spun on my heel, stepping back slightly when I realized how close he was. I could smell the scent of sugar and musk, which was a nice change to the overbearing scents I was used to.
“Shoot!”
“What if you broke your wrist, snapping it just the right way that you could never bend it around the neck of your guitar the same ever again, you couldn’t slide your fingers over the frets the same, would you still play?”
I knew how harsh I sounded, but the truth was harsher because that is exactly what happened to me. I tried a lift cause I was bored during practice and now my dreams were practically gone, so I knew harsh was the only way he’d see it.
“Yes, because music is more than just being good. Sure, it suck but I could still feel it and love it, why’d give up something that special!” He spoke wildly with his hands, obviously not realizing how close we are as he stepped closer.
“But watching someone else dance and myself dancing are two different things,” I spoke, trying to find a flaw in his logic but his point was clear.
Just cause I wouldn’t be as good doesn’t mean I’ll never be good again.
“But you dancing is still possible, we have video evidence,” at that Alex held up the video, pressing play as I watched myself calming walk into the gym, my hands close to my chest as I looked around the room.
“Join us in the Battle of the Performers and maybe you’ll feel it again, let two dreamers chase their dreams together,” he spoke happily, seemingly happy with his words.
“You listen to way too much John Lennon,” I spoke, shaking my head, turning around, and finally leaving the studio. I felt tears threatened to fall down my cheek but knew better than to cry with a chance of getting caught.
As I jogged down the long driveway I was on, the sign I had been asking myself since the fall. Milo stood in his front yard, talking with an older man I had seen work at a bakery a town or two over.
He seemed to have a children's cookbook in his hand, pointing over different things as Milo smiled and took notes in a black and white notebook. Maybe it was stupid to use this as my sign, their were plenty of others that made more sense, but after listening to little 7, soon to be 8, year old, Milo go on and on about how he was going to be a baker even if he wasn’t great at it now.
Because he liked it, that was all. He was bad, according to Bobby he almost burned his house down, but he liked baking so who was to stop him? The only person that Milo let stop him was his mother, but he said that’s only because he can’t reach the top shelves.
I turned around, my confidence that I had missed washing over me in a wave of adrenaline and I didn’t mind it, I missed it.
The doors to the studio were still open and I could hear much talk, maybe tuning but nothing more. I made my way to the door, standing in the center of the doorway while looking over each boy.
These boys played because they liked it, they just happened to be good.
“Need something?”
People didn’t have to be good at something to like it.
“Is she okay?”
And maybe they don’t win the competition, but you can’t win something you don’t try.
“Is she having a stroke?”
I took shaky breaths, looking at each boy's confused face.
“How long till we bomb this battle?”
My words were simple but the smiles that broke across each face were way more complex and beautiful.
“She came thought!” Bobby yelled, jumping up and down as Alex laughed, pulling his friends into a tight hug.
“Sunset Curve gonna win, Sunset Curve gonna win,” Reggie sang in a loud boom, smiling as he did a funny little dance with some sort of imaginary rope.
Luke pushed himself from the couch, running over and wrapping his arms around the back of my head. My two hands rested on his biceps, smiling at the vibe that had busted the room wide open.
“Look’s like you’ll need your own cup at Milo’s with how often you’ll be here.”

Great Minds Think Alike
Tumblr media
REUPLOAD BC I STUPIDLY DELETED IT ON ACCIDENT (ending is also different bc i did not save it on my drive... *sobs*
i wanted to try my hand at writing something based on a prompt (courtesy of @btswritingcafe​​ which you can find HERE)! thank you for the valentine’s mix event! it was fun to be a part of it!
anyways, here’s my first one-shot, can’t believe I was able to write more than 200 words… enjoy! share if you enjoyed it and let me know your thots!! :’D *gif is not mine*
prompt: 3. “I can’t accept these. I’m sorry.” // 12. “If you bring me a gigantic teddy bear I think I may fall in love with you.”
genre: fluff, slice of life, humour (?)
pairing: yoongi x reader
theme: established relationship, one-shot
word count: 1.15k
warnings: none? unless you dislike valentine’s day.. valentine’s day is involved
synopsis: Yoongi and you have big brains. And it shows on Valentine’s Day. 
a/n: helloooooo, happy belated valentine’s day! how was your valentine’s day? mine was as fun as it can be while working. I made it a bit more fun by stamping hearts on my eyelids lol
IN the quiet bedroom, a smacking sound echoed in the room. 
"Aish." You rubbed your cheek. It was too early to be awake on a Saturday night. 
Laying there in silence, you finally kicked the blankets off your body. It was freezing, but it helped you roll out of bed. 
Today's plan consisted of having brunch and then surprising the body laying next to you. After standing for quite a while, you turned to the bed once again. A fond smile crept on your face. Just seeing Yooongi's figure sleeping with his mouth opened always made you smile. 
With a sigh, you quickly headed into the bathroom to change and wash up. 
The clattering sound of something falling on the floor shook Yoongi awake. 
"Hm?" He opened one eye, waiting for something else to happen. After hearing nothing, Yoongi stretched to his fullest capacity. 
A giggle made him look to his right. "You're awake. Sorry, did I wake you?" 
"Tsch. No." You smiled at him. Walking towards him, he let out a sharp breath when he felt your lips press against his cheek.
Wiping his cheek clean from the red tint, you ruffled his hair. "I'll be back in an hour, ok? Don't eat anything. I'll bring you back some waffles."
"With a coffee?" He timidly asked. 
You grinned. "Duh."
-- 
The longest hour of his life, Yoongi continued to lay in bed. He felt like something was off. 
Did I forget to submit something?
The feeling continued gnawing at him, causing him to get out of bed. He slowly dragged himself out of the room and into his living room. Passing by Holly, who wagged his tail, he went into the kitchen. 
Still feeling tired, he stood analyzing his surroundings. He paused as he heard the familiar jingle of your keys. Looking over his left shoulder, he waited until you popped into his line of vision.
"Hi!" You smiled. "I brought food!"
He softly smiled at you. He went to sit down at the table, staring at you as you set his food down. 
"Yes, I'm home now. Ok, so as I was telling you, he was totally checking you out. We have to go back!" Yoongi chewed his food. With sleep in his eyes, he nodded along.
You softly gasped, "They have them in stock again?"
You laughed as he continued chewing, "If you bring me a gigantic teddy bear, I think I may fall in love with you."
Yoongi paused as the word love slipped past your lips. You were unaware of his state, laughing and gossiping with said friend. 
Love. Love, Love? At this point, Yoongi stopped chewing, completely forgetting his waffles as he processed what you said. 
His eyes grew wide as the realization hit him. It's Valentine's Day. Shoot. Ok, don't panic. 
He stood up quickly, causing his chair to scratch against the floor. You looked at him confused, mouthing What?
Yoongi shook his head, almost sprinting into your shared bedroom. 
You looked a little confused as you saw him disappear. Even more so, after he reappeared completely changed out of his pajamas. 
You lifted your chin towards him, asking quietly what was up. 
He pointed to the front door, whispering, "I'll be back." 
Leaving without a kiss goodbye, you could only look at his retreating figure in confusion. 
Ok?
"Yes, I have his present. It was very hard to hide. I kind of want to go back and buy myself one. It's super soft."
~
The noisy atmosphere of the store leaked out into the street. Yoongi huffed as he finally got to his destination. Catco. 
Someone had to have thrown up red, pink, and white. The store was also filled with people in the same state as him. Panicked and sweaty. 
Yoongi walked up and down the aisles looking for the damn thing. 
How? Just how hard is it to see that damn bear?
Walking into aisle five, he looked towards his right, not seeing the colossal leg sticking out and causing him to stumble. 
"Oof. What the—" Yoongi had his arms in front of him, regaining his balance. "Oh."
He found it, the almost eight-foot bear. Craning his neck up at the stupid smiling bear, he groaned. 
"How the hell did I forget to grab a cart?"
~
Yoongi had taken a while, yet you were still on the phone. Of course, you were; you missed your friend. Thankfully you were because now, Yoongi had to figure out how to sneak in his new eight-foot friend past you. 
"Alright, bye, love you." You said your goodbye, stretching as you heard Yoongi huffing into your shared home. "Where'd you go?"
Yoongi froze. "Oh uh, forgot something I needed."
"Well, I'm glad you're back because-" you paused, "I want to give you your Valentine's Day gift."
You squealed gleefully as you ran past the bedroom and into your office. 
Yoongi looked confused, relieved, and tired. 
Ok, good. I don't have to hide it. Yoongi huffed but quickly furrowed his brows as he heard you struggling. 
"Jagi? You ok?" He waited until he heard you again. A soft thud made him walk towards your office.
Before he got within a foot of your office, he froze, "Don't! Stay there."
"Ok?"
You came out with a bright pink gift bag. You shoved the bag into his hands, excited at his reaction. "Gift number one! Open it!"
"Number one? One is enough." He laughed as he dug inside to pull out a box of chocolates. "Thank you, these look good." 
You had already expected his underwhelming reaction, but the faint tint on his cheeks more than made up for it. 
Yoongi then stopped to look down at you. You raised your eyebrows in question. "C'mere, I got you something too."
"Ooh! What is it?" He laughed as he felt your body shake in excitement. 
"It's actually outside. Here." He stopped in front of the door before saying a ta-da!
The giant teddy bear stood before you. He grinned as he turned to look at your reaction. His grin faded into a frown. "Jagi?"
"Hm?"
Yoongi scratched the back of his neck, "Do you? Not like it?"
Your shoulders dropped, and you looked at him with a pout, "I can't accept this. I'm sorry."
He swore he could feel his stomach drop. What? What does she mean she can't accept this?
"Uh? What?" You burst into giggles. Yoongi could only stare in confusion. His eyes set on you while he tried to process what was happening.
You wiped some tears off your eyes, "That sounded bad, but what I meant to say is that I can't accept it because…"
You trailed off as you grabbed his wrist and back towards your office. A confused and offended Yoongi could only drag his feet behind you. 
"Look!" You opened the door to come face to face with another eight-foot furry friend. "I got you one too."
“Tsch,” Yoongi clicked, “I guess we’re just big brained.” WIth a roll of your eyes you said, “Great minds think alike, huh?”
“Shut up.”

hey there, stranger. ii
SERIES MASTERLIST. one,
summary: after months of failed dates, this handsome mat guy seems like the one you’re gonna keep around for a while
an: i accidentally deleted the first edited draft i made asdwgf this was supposed to be up a while ago. Anyway, this is going to be the softest, lightest series ever. Just something to help me
word count: 1.8k
"(Y/N)?"
"Hey there, stranger."
As soon as the words left your lips, his own were parting in a little laugh, humored by your little phrase. "Hey there." He held out a hand, a big hand, for you to shake. It was soft and warm and pretty much swallowed up yours, but you didn't mind. You couldn't help but worry that maybe your hand was a bit clammy from the nerves, but if it was, it either didn't bother him or he didn't let it show. "I'm Mat." Then, as if suddenly confused as to why he was shaking your hand, his eyebrows furrowed up. "Uh, is this too weirdly formal? Would a hug be better?"
This time you were the one laughing. "The handshake is fine for now. We don't really know each other. Not yet, anyway, Mat."
"Right, okay." He smiled sheepishly and slid down into the booth seat across from you, glancing down at the drink you had already ordered. “Am I late?”
“No, no, you’re on time!” You were the embarrassed one now, worried you had already made a bad impression on your date. “Sorry, I guess it was rude to order without you.”
“No, it’s fine.” He played with his hands, you figured it was a nervous tick, and it was kinda cute. But he must have noticed your eyes glance down to his hands, because he flattened them awkwardly against the table. “Sounds tasty.” He had been too nervous to meet your eyes and instead busied himself with reading the label that was stuck on your cup. Before you could respond, a waitress appeared to take this new customer’s order. You watched the polite smile on Mat’s face when he spoke. Watching the way someone talks to waiters and workers is a good test of how nice someone is, and Mat was passing with flying colors. And when she left after Mat’s sweet little “thank you!”, you couldn’t help but smile.
"Sorry.” You apologized again. This guy seemed so much different from your exes. He was sweet, respectful, and funny, from what you could tell by the last few minutes. You were practically praying that your date would last longer than just today. “I kinda forget the ‘date etiquette’. It's been a while since I've done this."
"Really? You’re having dating trouble?" You nodded, and Mat shook his head in response as if shocked, an amused smile on his face. “Someone like you? No way.” Your face heated up at that, but you brushed it off as playful flirting and pushed your limits a little bit to try and flirt back.
"Yeah. I mean, not like you’d understand what bad dates are, as handsome as you are.”
“Oh, handsome?”
“Yeah, handsome.” You watched his cheeks go a soft shade of pink, and he bit back a grin, trying to seem cool. “You probably get so many dates, and I haven’t had a date go right since I moved here.” He had been shaking his head through your statement, ready to jump in and tell you how wrong you were about his love life, but his eyebrows quirked up at the end of your sentence.
“Oh?” Mat raised his eyebrows “You’re new to New York?”
“Well, I don’t know how new I am anymore. I moved in last September for college. I’m studying over in Manhattan.”
“Ooh, so she’s smart too!” Your cheeks went hot at the smile he was giving you- wide and gleaming and admiring.
“I’m in my second year, yeah.”
“What are you studying?” You honestly weren’t used to all the attention he was giving you. As sad as it was, none of your past dates ever asked about you or complimented you on furthering your education. Not that you needed their compliments or approval, but it would’ve been nice if they at least seemed interested, and Mat did.
He prompted you to talk, listened intently as you ranted about your education and your time with the Seidenbergs and fantasized about your dream career, about all the classes you were taking this year. He listened, and smiled and commented and asked questions. He cared. You didn’t even realize how you’d been rambling, but he just made you feel so comfortable. Comfortable enough to open up more about yourself than you’d ever done before on a first date. You stopped for a breath and saw him, leaning forward on the table on his elbows with a stupid little amused smile as you talked on and on and on. He was interested in you. “Oh my god, I’ve been talking about myself for so long, I don’t even know what you do for a living!”
“Hmm, Rebecca really didn’t tell you anything about me, huh?”
“I guess she didn't…” You pondered for a moment at how stupid you were, opening up and feeling so comfortable around this guy without even knowing anything about him. “How do you even know her, anyway? Now I’m curious about you. What do you do?”
He seemed to hesitate for a bit, biting his lip in thought. “I play hockey.”
He had a modest smile on his face as if it meant nothing, as if it wasn’t a huge accomplishment, but your eyes widened. Of course Rebecca would set you up with a hockey player. “Like, professionally?”
“Yeah. The Islanders. The Seidenbergs let me stay with them when I first moved here to play, so that’s how I know them. I lived in their basement my first year.”
“What?” You let your head fall on the table dramatically, suddenly embarrassed that you knew so little about him and had practically been spewing about your life to him. “Oh my god, now I feel really stupid.”
Mat let out another laugh, this time loud and boisterous but beautiful. “Why?”
“I feel like I should know who you are. I’m at the Seid’s pretty much every weekend, you play with Dennis, I can’t believe I don’t know you. I’m sure they’ve mentioned you before.”
“I’m sure they have,” Mat laughed, considering the fact that he had lived with them for his rookie year, of course they would’ve mentioned him. “But I don’t mind it, actually.” He smiled, softer, more serious than before, taking a sip of his drink. “I like that you don’t know me as a player. So I know you’re really into me. Like, me me.” His statement made your heart ache a little. Maybe this was a tiny glimpse into his past love life. Maybe he’d been hurt by someone who claimed to love him but was only there for the clout. But that wasn’t your place to ask. “Do you know anything about hockey?”
“I’ve seen a few games, it looks really cool, but I don’t know anything about it.”
“Nothing?”
“Nothing.”
“Well,” he leaned back in the seat in a flirty way, giving you a cute little side grin and shrugging. “I guess you’re gonna have to learn.”
The night continued just as amazing as it had begun. You fell into more and more conversation, everything seemed to come so naturally for one and, for the first date in a long, long time, you actually dreaded having to leave. You haven’t felt this way since dates in highschool, before moving to New York, and even then there was something missing that you found with Mat tonight. You felt something tonight that you hadn’t felt on another date in a long time. And as you crowded into the back of an uber with him to head back to your dorm, you knew, feeling his presence so close next to you, that you wanted him around for a while. As long as you could have him.
“I like hanging out with you.”
“Yeah?” Mat grinned down at you in the dark, his smile genuine and warm and shining, as if he was maybe even more excited than you about this.
“Yeah, and you’re also pretty handsome, Mat.”
He laughed loudly at that, and you knew that was a noise you could get used to. “Like me enough to hang out again?”
In a quick act of confidence, you reached your hand over and curled it against his, palm to palm, and squeezed reassuringly as you nodded. “Enough to hang out again.” The smile on his face grew.
“Ooh, alright!’ He cheered quietly to himself and made you giggle. “It’ll be a more fun setting next time, I promise.”
You sat in comfortable silence for the rest of the ride, your hand cradled in his own and resting on his thigh, both high on the ecstasy of finally having at least someone, no matter how new, to try things out with, to hold, to smile with, to grow into love with. High on how great the date went, how compatible you were with each other. On how finally, after months of bad dates, you may have found someone perfect for you. And you both had stupid, silly smiles on your face as you exchanged glances in the back seat, giggling over nothing and fantasizing about how great your next date would be. Your next date… As the uber pulled up to your dorm apartment building, you fiddled with the sleeve of your sweater again.
“So, now that I got you here all safe, I- I guess I’ll head back to my place, alright?”
“You want me to pitch in to pay for the Uber? I know going from Brooklyn to Manhattan and back could get pricey.”
“No, no not at all. It’s on me.”
You pulled out your university ID, ready to head inside, but not ready to leave this moment in the car with him. “Mat,” You tried your best to refocus him after a few shared moments of quiet, happy staring and grinning between the two of you. He looked so happy to be able to spend more time with you, but in all his glee he was forgetting something, something crucial, something there was no way you were leaving without. “Can we exchange numbers?”
“Oh, shit, yeah!” He laughed almost nervously as he scrambled to pull his phone out of his pocket, handing it to you to let you put in your digits as the uber came to a stop.
You didn’t want to leave. You would’ve stayed longer, would’ve sat with him and laid your head against his shoulder and gazed mindlessly out the window at all the skyscrapers passing by. You would’ve taken a moment to stroke his face and kiss his cheek, but you pulled away and dropped Mat’s hand with one last smile. The uber had to leave.
“Bye, Mat.”
He waved at you again after shutting the door, and you stood and watched the uber leave before turning to enter the residency building.
Only minutes after you set foot in your dorm room a few stories up and flopped down in bed to clutch a pillow to your burning cheeks, you received a text. When the screen lit up, you were immediately greeted by a name that would soon become familiar, that would soon become your haven, and your face lifted in a little smile.

Where the hell is Kenma?!
Yuri on Ice x Haikyuu crossover
Just so you know, all the figure skaters kids are close with the other skaters so they consider ever skater they're close with family so the whole uncle aunt thing is just a friend thing
warnings: Gay, swearing, etc
Ships: leoji, yakulev, minotayuri
Пока= bye
All Russian is google translated
For the parents the kids will just be calling them by their names unless one parents is without the others then they will be called dad so it doesn't get confusing
Kenma pov
It was 10 alcock at night and I was up playing my video games as usual with Hinata, Lev and some other friends. We were playing a game that was a collaboration between Nerf and Xbox, it was quite good. Not my favorite shooter of all time but it was alright. When the match was over and the 20 second map and round type selection started, my phone rang. I was on a discord call with my friends so they saw the phone going up to my ear. Right when I was about to answer Lev spoke up,
"Who is it?" He asked
"Georgi."
"Popovich?"
"Yeah."
"Who's this Georgi?" Hinata seemed confused but curious.
"Just a family friend of ours." I answered, I don't wanna go into me and Lev being legally related right now.
"Oh, cool!"
I looked down at my phone and unlocked it to see the messages, "I might need to not play this round for a bit I need to respond to these texts." I said
The rest of them agreed and I went back to the messages.
---
Georgi: I was just wanting to remind you that the plane leaves at 7, so get some sleep kid.
Kenma: Thanks uncle Georgi, I'll try.
Georgi: Do you want us to bring the Russian team bus to pick you up from your house?
Kenma: Sure when are yall getting here?
Georgi: 6 prolly, depends on how long Lila and Yakov wanna take. Old asses -w-
Kenma: pfft xD
Kenma: Anyway, I need to get back to my friends see you later.
Georgi: K, get some sleep, my favorite nephew ☆⌒(*^-゜)v
----
I unmuted my mic on the call and spoke after like 5 minutes
"Back, hows the round going?"
I didn't hear my dear Shoyo but instead Lev, "Good, Hinata got tired though and had to leave."
When I was about to say I needed to leave to, Lev spoke again,
"Oh yeah! You should get going, you don't wanna miss the flight!"
Once I exited the game I turned back to my monitor that had discord and moved it back to my main monitor, "I was about to say that."
"Пока" I said, my Russian feeling a little rusty.
"Пока Kenma!"
Pressing the 'end call' button made me sigh with relief, standing up, I walked over to my closet and grabbed some clothes for a shower before bed. I grabbed some long, loose black pants and a old Russian figure skating team shirt that one of my dads got me. While I was walking to the bathroom I was looking through some notes for class and deleted stuff I didn't need since I was going to be in an entire different country for a while.
I got out of the shower, dried my hair and put on my clothes. Once I got to the door, I looked into the mirror and I had an idea, 'Should I put my hair in braids so it'll look wavy tomorrow? Yeah that'll look nice!' I reached over and grabbed two small clear hair ties and put my hair into two braids.
I finally opened the bathroom door and walked back to my room to call it a night and sleep. Once I reached my room I noticed something, "You mother fucker.." I didn't pack my bags for the fucking trip. I whipped out my phone and thought of who I could message, we were gonna be in a bunch of places for skating and I wanted to check for how long, but guess what?! I don't know whos awake!
Right when I was about to wing it, I remembered its like 9 in the morning for Leo de la Iglesia, who is an American skater which I consider family. I guessed he would be up since he and Guang-Hong Ji, his boyfriend typically wake up at 7 to eat breakfast and go on a run together, virtually since they live in different countries but I guess they try. It took a while to find this name in my contacts since my phone doesn't really sort through who I texted recently but instead it sorts alphabetically the only time I would see his name at the top is if I had an unread message from him, which I don't. I kept scrolling reading off the letters as I went. H,I,J,K....
I finally got to L and found his name since I only have like 3 people whos name start with L in my contacts, I opened it and cringed at the date of the last sent message, 'June 1st' which was a happy pride month message. My fingers tapped on the message bar and I started typing quickly.
------
Kenma: Hey uncle Leo ヾ(•ω•`)o
Kenma: Ik this is a weird time to text since I should be sleeping but, you're the only one awake.
Leo: Ey Kozume! 💅 What do you need?
Kenma: I was wanting to know how long the competitions are gonna be , I forgot to pack soo...
Leo: Ah! Well you're going to be on the trip for a week and Georgi's gonna take you back to Japan the Monday afterwards
Kenma: I- Isn't it longer then that? (⊙_⊙)?
Leo: Yes but we know that Neko-
Kenma: Nekoma?
Leo: How ever the fuck you spell your schools name 😑
Leo: Anyway, we know you have a game against Karasuno the next day and we know you would wanna play in that sooo...
Kenma: Cool, thanks.
Leo: Np, see you in America (。・∀・)ノ゙
----
Once I was done snickering to myself at Leo and I's conversation, I walked over to my clothes drawers and got out the clothes I wanted, one formal outfit, some pj's and some casual stuff. I put that stuff in one suitcase and put my miscellaneous stuff in a smaller drawstring bag that had a bunch of video game pins on it. I walked downstairs to put my stuff by the door and when I got there I saw someone come in, it were my dads, Yuri Plisetsky, Otabek Altin and Minami Kenjiro.
I walked up and hugged all 3 of them, "Hey kiddo."
Since I decided to say screw sleep and talk to my parents which is something I didn't get to do much at this time of the year often since they have practice all the time. So we sat on the couch and had dinner while watching tv as a family and talked about their practice
Yuri chirped up while eating some rice, "Mila was being a bitch."
"Oh? What happened?" I asked
"So you know her kid Tendō?"
Minami put his chopsticks down and joined in the conversation, "He's that kid that goes to Shiratorizawa Academy right?"
"So, he's gonna be joining the Russian team since the he doesn't like the Italian team."
"Yet his uncle and other mom is on that team." Otabek pointed out
"Yeah."
"I don't get how she was being a bitch?" I said, trying to get the conversation back to the main point,
"Her ass was bragging about all practice, like shit I couldn't get 2 fucking works out without her interrupting."
We all laughed, and went back to eating.
After we were finished we all were doing the dishes, "Go upstairs and get some sleep kiddo, I'll do the rest of the dishes. Yuri, go get some rest too." Minami said
"Are you not going to America, Beka?" Yuri asked.
The black haired boy shrugged, "No, for some reason my couch decided I'm not going, I don't know why."
Minami was another one of my dads who was staying home, ever since they adopted me when I was 4 he always declined going to any skating competitions that weren't in Japan so that if I ever had an emergency someone would always be there. This meant that only me and Yuri, my blonde, sassy, Russian dad were going to America for the 3 back to back skating events that were happening there.
"I wonder why Lev's not going.."
"Your school doesn't want you both out when a game is so close." Otabek was right I still thought it was stupid since he was looking forward to this event, he's always wanted to go to America after all. But as compromise I promised to send him a lot of photos.
Minami who was still washing the dishes started shoving us out of the kitchen, "Yeah yeah, cut the chat get your butts upstairs and I don't wanna see you two down here until morning!" He said, waving a wooden spoon in the air as we walked up the stairs, laughing.
We reached the upstairs, both of my dads gave me a kiss on the forehead and wished me a good night. I walked into my room and instantly my tiredness from earlier came back to wack me in the face with 5 times the strength of before. I walked over to my bed and just.. flopped.
--In the morning--
My alarm for 5:30 went off and I got up, still tired but meh, nothing a bit of coffee wont fix. I walked over to my closet and got out a hoodie Shoyo gave me, it was a Karasuno hoodie with Shoyo's name and volleyball number, 10 on the back. I inhaled the scent of my lover. I'm gonna miss him but I still can call him. I grabbed a thin t-shirt to wear underneath and some soft black pants with red on the side, after I grabbed my clothes I walked to the bathroom and got changed. After that I took my braids out, my hair looked great!
When I left the bathroom right when I put my foot on the first step to head downstairs the scent of waffles hit my nose, I started to go quicker down the stairs since I fucking love waffles and I am starving! Once I got there Minami greeted me.
"Hey kiddo, did you sleep good?"
"Yeah." I nodded
"Are your other dads not up yet?"
"Nah." I shook my head getting out a plate.
"Before you eat imma wake them up."
I rubbed my forehead before sighing, "Oh god what are you planning, pops?"
"Nothing, let me just..." After finicking with his phone I heard a blast of noise from my parents room and the line I knew too well of "WELCOME TO THE MADNESS" blasted through the door. After like 2 seconds they were up and downstairs.
"You get creative when it comes to waking us up." Otabek yawned while Yuri wiped his eyes.
"I know, glad you're finally catching on~" Minami said, getting sassy, which he normally was this early in the morning.
"What'd you make for breakfast?" I asked.
"Apple waffles!"
I ran to the counter happily, grabbing like 3 fucking waffles.. What can I say? I love apple things!
"Goddamn! Leave some for us!" Yuri teased
"Nah~" I joked back.
When we had just finished our food, we were setting our dishes into the sink and just chatting, we heard a knock on the door. I turned to the clock, '6:00' almost on the dot. "Man when they say they'll be here at 6, they aren't kidding." Otabek said, looking at the bus through the window.
I snickered and got my shoes on, me and Yuri grabbed our suitcases and after my adopted dad kissed my other dads, we were out the door and on the bus. I stopped to talk to Mila whom was driving while Yuri went to go sit in the back by himself.
I tapped the red head on the shoulder, "Hey Mila can we make a stop before we go to the airport?"
She grinned "Yeah, of course, the flight was delayed a half hour anyway for whatever fucking reason."
"Ok, can we stop at Karasuno I uh.. Wanna see someone before we leave.."
Mila let out a quiet gasp before whispering, "Is this the boy you've been talking about?"
I nodded and Mila laughed, "Sure, I don't see why not!"
I gave a light smile and went to go sit down.
--When they stopped at Karasuno, Hinata pov--
"We aren't doing anything special today, hell do what you want if you wanna sit and chat do that, I am giving you a free day before we practice for our match against Nekoma." Couch Ukai explained
We all nodded with a 'yes couch' coming out of all us.
Me and Yamaguchi stayed chatting when our long haired ace, Asahi came in, "Sorry I'm late but there's a bus outside that says, 'Russian Figure Skating Team' outside for whatever reason."
"I wonder why..." I brushed it off though and continued talking to Yams
We kept talking before I heard a familiar voice, "Shoyo? Are you here?"
"Kenma!" I exclaimed before I jumped up and ran to give him a hug which almost knocked him over in the process.
"Hi Shoyo, its good to see you."
"What are you doing here?" I asked, releasing the hug and just holding his hands and I spoke again
"I mean there's a weird bus that says Russian Figure Skating Team or something outside but why are you here?"
"That's my ride." Kenma answered plainly.
"That's your- WHAT!" I was surprised and the others came over
Kenma laughed, "That's why I came here, I wanted to let you know I'm going to be gone for a week."
"Why? Did something happen?" Suga asked from the back
"No, no! I'm going to skate in America, I'll be back for our game though." His answer made me more curious
Noya's voice rang from the right, "When are you leaving?"
"Around 7:30, our plane got delayed but I get to talk with you more, right Shoyo?"
I was about to sit down when the door swung open and there stood someone who looked a bit like Kenma, but different colored eyes and plain blonde hair
"I'm hanging out in here with you kid."
"Yakov being annoying?"
"да ебать его задницу!"
"Who are you sir?" Asked Asahi who was putting away the few volleyballs that were used since most of the team was chatting, it was a free day after all
"This is Yuri Plisetsky, my dad." Kenma explained
"Cool."
I tilted my head, wondering what he said, I knew it was Russian just based on context but I didn't know what, "What was that you were saying?"
"He said, "yeah fuck his ass" My blonde boyfriend translated
"Ooh."
"Well before we go might as well do this," Kenma sighed as he held my hand tighter,
"Dad, this is my boyfriend, Shoyo." Kenma looked nervous.
"As long as he treats you well, then I don't care."
"W-wait that's it?!" Kenma seemed surprised
Yuri clutched his chest in laughter, "I-I'm sorry! Just.."
"Are you forgetting who I am?"
"What?"
"Kiddo, I am a trans gay man who has been married with 2 other men in a poly relationship for 2 years now, what'd you want me to say?"
Hinata looked surprised but also relived, "Really? That's so cool!"
Yuri looked at me and rolled his eyes and messaged the bridge of his nose, "Really? You went for the fanboy?"
"Dad, you're married to one."
"Meh, true."
We were talking for a while longer with me just being lovey as usual when someone else walked through the door and yelled "ITS JJ STYLE!" Which Yuri's dad looked pissed about
"I'll get him out give me a second."
"убирайся отсюда, канадский ебать!" Yuri yelled as he proceeded to shove the man I'm guessing named JJ out
"What'd he say?" I asked
"Get out of here you Canadian fuck."
"Oooh."
With that a new people entered, "Kozume!" A voice called,
"Hi Gramps."
"Whos this?" I questioned with my hand still on Kenma's
"That's my grandpa, Victor Katsuki-Nikiforov."
"That's so cool!"
Kenma blushed and just nodded,
"Does my grandson have a boyfriend~"
"Yep, this is Shoyo."
"So he's the one I keep hearing Chris say you brag about?"
"Mhm."
"We-"
Before Victor could continue I heard a slam
"Двигай своей задницей, черт возьми, свинья!" (Move your ass fucking pig!) And in came Yuri kicking another black haired boy in through the door.
"Yurio be nice you your mother!"
"HES NOT MY MOTHER! AND STOP CALLING ME YURIO!" He yelled back
Victor sighed, "Well we have 2 Yuri's here its confusing!"
The grey haired mans tone quickly changed, "Anyway~"
He helped Yuuri up and waltzed on back over to us, "Our grandson has a boyfriend!!!!"
"Awh that's great!"
"Aaand Shoyo, meet my other grandpa, Yuuri Katsuki-Nikiforov"
"It's nice to meet you."
We talked a bit before Yuuri spoke up,
"We should get going, the others probably wanna get coffee before we go to the airport."
"Oh, yeah, I guess so."
I was sad that they had to leave because Kenma noticed and his face softened because when they were getting up to leave, he gave me a soft kiss on the lips,
" I will call you every chance I get, Ok baby?"
"Alright, I'll see you next week at the game?"
"Yes, I love you."
"I love you too." Those were the last words I said to Kenma in person for a week.
When I turned around I heard someone yell, "KOZUME HAS A BOYFRIEND!"
Lev pov--
Kenma: We're having another fucking flight delay!
Lev: I still wish I could've gone with!
Kenma: I know, you were really wanting to come, right?
Lev: Ofc! I have always wanted to go to America! 😭😭😭
Kenma: Oof
Lev: Hold on the team is worried about you, give me a moment
Kenma: Gl Kuroos gonna be all like 'well why didn't I know?!' or some shit
Lev: mhm 😑
---
I turned off my phone and listened to the rest of the team freak out about the gamer boys missing
"WHERE THE FUCK IS HE?!" Yaku yelled out of panic
"Yaku, I am sure he's fine.." Yamamoto said, trying to keep the peace
"Well we don't know that! Hell! He didn't even tell me anything.." Kuroo was also pissed which just made me wanna chuckle since Kenma was right about Kuroos reaction.
"Uhm..."
"What Lev?"
"Well about Kenma being gone, I know where he is I just thought this was funny."
"So us worrying is funny?!"
"When I know why, yes."
Kuroo rolled his eyes, "Lev, Kenma never talks to you."
"Yes, yes he does, you don't know every fucking thing he does." I snapped.
"Are you sure?" Kuroo retorted
"Whos he dating?"
"I-"
"See you dont even know that"
"Fucking- Whatever just where is he?" Yaku asked
I held out my phone and showed the texts
"Where the hell is he going?! We have a game!"
"Yaku, please shut the fuck up." I whispered.
"What?!"
"Yaku I love you, but please shut the fuck up, he doesn't care about the game right now, he will be back for the game with Karasuno, but he is with family and doing something that will contribute to his future. Now shut up пожалуйста, перестань любопытствовать и дай ему жить!" (please stop prying and let him live!)
"..."
I took a step back, I swore my boyfriend out... I even yelled at him in Russian!
I felt like I wanted to cry, I didn't wanna snap like that.. Then I heard the door open
"HA I KNEW HE WOULD CUSS SOMEONE OUT! Виктор! ты должен мне 20 долларов!" (Victor you owe me 20) I turned to the voice,
"Oh praise god." I sighed
Yurio was walking up to me, "ты в порядке? ты выглядишь напряженным .." (are you okay? you look tense)
"Я огрызнулся на своего парня, и я устал, угадай" (I snapped at my boyfriend and I'm tired, guess)
"What are they saying.." Yaku was confused
"Well apologize you fuck!" Yurio scoffed
"..."
"Sorry sir, but Lev is fine, I was the one who deserved it."
"I'm still sorry!"
"Even better question! Lev, you can speak Russian!?" Kuroo seemed surprised
"Yeah, I just didn't wanna hear the, 'oh! Say my name in Russian' or, 'say something in Russian!' that gets annoying fast!"
"Oh, Beka has the same problem whenever he says he's from Kazakhstan."
"Anyway, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at the airport with the rest of the Russian team."
"We would be in the sky by now is the plane would stop getting fucking delayed!"
"Well let the team rest in here! Its probably hot as fuck in that bus."
"Smartest thing you've said all day, Levochka." And with that he left
"And who was that?" Yaku's tone was serious so I beckoned the team over to the bench to explain
"So you know how I have left practice early?"
"Yes?"
"That's because I do figure skating and I am hoping to go into it full time when I am older and that person who was here a bit ago was a part of the Russian Figure Skating team."
"Nice!" Someone commented from the end of the bench
"Levochka!" A voice called,
"DAD!" I raced to meet the voice and gave a big hug to my father, Victor Nikiforov and gave my other dad, Yuri Katsuki a hug when he entered short after.
Yaku came up from behind, and kicked me, "YOU NEVER TOLD ME YOUR PARENTS WERE FAMOUS SKATERS YOU FUCK!"
Upon seeing that the Russian team was pissed, "Держи свои гребаные ноги от него, ублюдок размером с муравей!"
"I still don't know what yall are saying.."
A voice came from the back, "Georgi said, "Keep your fucking feet off him, ant-sized motherfucker" I recognized Kenma's voice quickly
"Ey! I thought you would stay on the bus!" Yurio called
"Well, I finished my level and I have nothing else to play until a few daily bonuses roll in."
"Kid you run through games like me and Lev run through a thing of pirozhkis.."
"Meh I keep myself entertained."
"KENMA?!" Kuroo called, ran up and started to shake the boy
"I WAS WORRIED WHY DIDNT YOU TELL US WHERE YOU WERE GOING?1"
"Because it doesn't concern you, besides its not like I'm gonna be gone forever.."
"Kozume I am your best friend! You tell your best friend this shit!"
"Uh..." Kenma stuttered
"What?! Is there anything else you wanna tell me?!"
"1: I don't owe you shit and 2: Lev and Shoyo are my best friends, Теперь слезай с высокой лошади, ты трахаешься" (Now get off the high horse, you fuck)
"That's my boy!" Yurio cheered
Yuuri shook his head and turned to me, "Anyway, Lev can we pull you and Yaku to the side we wanna talk to you two."
I nodded and grabbed Yaku's hand and we exited the gym with my dads
"Levochka.. Are you sure he's the one you want?" My dad asked gently
"What do you mean?"
"I mean you said that this was your boyfriend when we talked about it before but are you sure he is what you want? I mean he kicks you and gets physical it seems a lot. I just want for you to be safe." My dad explained.
Yaku looked nervous as my dead continued, "Hell even Yurio when we adopted him, was never physical with anyone who didn't deserve it.. Minus Yuuri but you get what I mean."
I grabbed Yaku's hand, "I know but Yaku's trying and that's all I can really ask.."
Yuuri started to talk "Lev please be safe." His face was one of worry
"I'm sorry Mr. Nikiforov, I've been trying my hardest to not be as bad as I was, I am trying for your sons sake, I wanna make him happy.."
"I can see that and I hope you keep trying."
"I will, I care about Lev so much I wouldn't do anything to actually hurt him, I love him too much to do that."
"Th-"
"HEY VICTOR WE NEED TO GET TO THE AIRPORT!" Called Yakov's voice loud from the bus.
"Coming! Lets go!"
After gathering the others they left, till next week will we see them again.

Hello, I’d like to request a matchup if possible. I’m going to be completely honest with you, I am perfectly fine if you delete this as I don’t really want to write this either. My friends dared me to send a matchup request to some marvel blog since they know I dislike telling people things about myself and I’m not the biggest fan of superheroes but I refuse to lose. You were the first blog I found in my 10 second search that didn’t want like my life story and social security number so thank you for that lol. Either way I’m going to continue now so I can get this over with and win this stupid bet, sorry for the waste of time on your end and getting you wrapped up in this. I’m asexual and I have no preference at all so if you do end up writing this you can do what you want, and I don’t really care about any hero’s enough to actively hate them, it’s more a passive dislike of what I believe is occasionally wasted potential in some storylines. I completely understand and respect anyone who likes marvel btw, after all my friends who are making me do this love it and they are great people (except for right now you guys are the worst-), it’s just not something I would watch if it weren’t for other people wanting to watch it with me. I like strategy or competitive games, collecting shiny objects, and just joking around in general. I dislike talking to people I don’t know, people touching me, and being outside in the sun or rain. That’s about it. Admittedly I probably could have gone without telling you about the fact I don’t really want to do this and just pretended I was genuine and I am not sure why I didn’t but it was probably for the best that I was transparent about it so you don’t waste your energy on me too much. I genuinely hope you have a nice day, and I want you to know I respect your work and believe you are a good writer even if I don’t particularly enjoy the subject matter, and I am not trying to make fun of you or anything. So bye I guess-
Oh my! No worries you didn’t waste my time at all lol i was free anyways and I’ll make it short and sweet so you win the bet with more prof!
I match up with
Loki
Tumblr media
He’s the god of mischief so he’ll appreciate a good prank or just messing around with one
I can see give coming up with fighting strategies because he actually uses his brain
If knows you collect shiny things he’ll start looking for them unintentionally as well for you to keep
There you go!

My Adoring Fan ch. 3
Chapter 2 chapter 4
“Damn it. I keep missin’ the door handle...” The half demon grumbled as she kept reaching for the knob. Eventually, it occurred to her that maybe she should use her right hand to feel around for it and open it that way. As she opened the door, she stuck her head in the door way, not wanting to invade her favorite human’s space fully.
“Maaaaaax, can I ask a favor of you?”
“I don’t know, can you?” Max teased before turning her attention to the cambion, “What do you need, Sunshine?”
As slight blush crossed her cheeks at the nickname, “I was, uh.... I was wondering... if you’d watch while I cook ta make sure I don’t hurt myself...” Azalea looked down, embarrassed. She had just been making a fuss about feeling like she was being babied and now here she was, asking for help when she could do it herself if she tried hard enough.
“Yeah sure. I thought it was your brother’s turn to cook tonight?” She sets the spell book she was studying down.
“He’s not doin’ too hot right now... So he asked if I would do it instead since Zulima’s not allowed anywhere near the kitchen when it comes to cooking dinner.”
“How about I cook tonight instead and you can help me?” The human offered. “I live here too so there’s no reason I can’t cook in place of one you two. By the way your cousins not that bad of a cook. I find it to be enjoyable actually.”
“Are... Are we eating the same cooking?”
“You two are just picky,” She stuck her tongue out at Azalea and Azalea repeated the action.
“C’mon then, let’s go before Hakan starts to destroy the house. Snacks will only satisfy the kid for so long.”
“Alright, alright, I’m coming.” Max rolled her eyes with a soft smile.
“That’s what she said,” The half-demon laughs at her own joke
“Azalea!”
“Bye!” The girl takes off, heading toward the kitchen.
--------------------------------------
“Heya, weeb supreme, what’s got ya so bent out of shape?” Azalea asks as she ruffles Henry’s purple hair.
“My favorite idol is going on hiatus and she has no plans to come back yet” The boy’s eyes were wet with tears. “How could she do this to her fans.”
“Bruh... she’s a person too. Maybe she just wants a break, did ya ever think of that?”
“Yeah but she could have told us sooner instead of just dipping on us like that!” Henry puffs out his cheeks. "A normie like you wouldn’t understand what it feels like to just be abandoned like that.”
“What did you say?” She asks as a threatening aura emanating from her. “Pretty bold of ya considerin’ you’re scared of everything up to your own shadow.”
“N-Nothing,” He squeaks. “Sorry.”
“Thought so. Now off with ya. Go play some games or somethin’.”
Henry nodded and scrambled out of the kitchen as Max came in.
“What’s his deal?” She asks.
“Oh nothin’,” Azalea smiled. “Just angsty weeb things, nothin’ to worry ‘bout.
“Mhm, sure,” Max was doubtful. “Just get the good out alright?”
--------------------------------------
“Yo, ‘Relius, how ya feeling?” Azalea barged into her twin's room before promptly running into the side of his desk. “Oww,”
“You just do not learn, do you?” The younger twin chuckles at the ridiculous of the scene. “Why don’t you have that dumb stick the doctors gave you so you know what’s in front of you on that side?”
“’Cuz its stupid. I got one eye left so I don’t need it.” Azalea pouts as she rubs her hip where she bumped into the desk.”
“You very clearly do considering you misjudged where my desk was and the amount of lamp posts you ran into on our way to school last term.” Aurelius sighs, “If you go back home with any more bruises from running in to shit, you’re gonna give Dad a stroke.”
“Eh, I’ll figure it out eventually. He worries too much.”
“Whatever you say, ‘Zay, whatever you say. Anyway, I’m doing better, thanks for asking. Has Henry stopped fussing over that idol yet?”
“Prolly not. Who knows with him...” She shrugs. “So, about that letter...”
“You’re not fighting anybody.” Aurelius shuts her down quickly, “I don’t even know who sent it other than an initial.”
“Boo, you whore,” She made her way over to his bed and plopped down on it. “Anywho, peppers are in the oven. Max cut ‘em for me and I stuffed ‘em.”
“Thought you wanted to do everything by yourself? Or is it different with her?” He teased.
“Shaddup!” Azalea threw his pillow at him. “It ain’t like that okay?”
“Suuuuure,” He laughed as his sister’s face turned beet red. “We all know the truth, Simp.”
“Stoooop! She’s just my friend!”
“But you don’t want her to be~” he says in a loud sing-song voice, hoping Max might overhear them, “Admit it ‘Zalea. You’ve got a crush.”
“Lower your voice and stop teasing me!”
“Not until I hear you say it.” He smiles.
“You’re a sadist, ya know that? Why do you do this to your only sister?!”
“Because it’s fun for me. Now say it.”
“Fiiiiiiiine,” the older half-demon groans, “I've got a crush on my friend.” It's said in a mumble.
“Huh? Couldn’t hear you. Could you say that again?” Unknown to her, Aurelius had started recording her confession.
“I said I have a crush on Max! There I said it! Happy?” She practically yells as her face turns an even deeper shade of red.
“Oh, yes I am.” He chuckles as he stops recording and Azalea realizes the mistake she’s made.
“You delete that right now!”
“Come over here and make me.” He gets up and pockets his phone as she dives at him.
With a quick dodge to the right where she can’t see him, Aurelius books it down the hall and down the stairwell. Azalea gives chase but runs smack dab into a wall which buys the younger twin more time to get out of the house. As he passes the common room where everyone is hanging out waiting for dinner, he yells out,
“I’m going out. My sister’s going to kill me. Don’t wait up.” And with that he’s out the door and dashing down the sidewalk and into the night.
--------------------------------------
She was doing her last-minute shopping before the new school term started next week. As she shouldered her bags, the now on hiatus idol steps out of the shop when she gets nearly run over by Aurelius who was still trying to put as much distance between him and Azalea as possible.
“Oh gosh, I’m so sorry.” He says as he helps her up, he’s slightly out of breath. “I should have been watching where I was going.”
She’s a little starstruck as she stares up at him. She was hoping they would meet soon, she just never thought they would literally crash into each other. “I- Oh no, I’m alright. Don’t worry about it. What about you? You’re not hurt, are you?”
“No, I’m alright,” he smiled. “Thanks for asking though.” Aurelius keeps looking behind him for any signs of his sister.
“Were you running from someone...” She pretends not to know his name. She needs a reason to introduce herself after all.
“Yeah, my sister. I have something she really doesn’t want anyone hearing.” He doesn’t introduce himself, assuming she already knew who he was which wasn’t wrong, but he didn’t need to know that. “I assume you already know my name, but I’ve never seen you around town before... Are you new here?”
“No, I don’t. And yes, I’m transferring to RAD this term.” The succubus thinks she has a pretty good poker face but he gives her an odd look- like he’s surprised. “My name’s Persephone, by the way.”
“Nice to meet you, Persephone.” he thinks she lying but she has no tells that he can recognize. If she is, maybe she’s only lying so he doesn’t feel uncomfortable for nearly plowing over a fan of his.
“You really don’t know who I am? Do you read DevilStyle teen?” Persephone only shakes her head, another bald-faced lie. “Well, that’s refreshing. My name’s Aurelius.” he holds a hand out to her with a smile. “Nice to meet you.”
The succubus takes his hand and shakes it with a smile on her face but internally she’s screaming.
“So which dorm are you in?”
“The House of Sorrow.” Her response makes him stop.
The House of Sorrow? And her name starts with a ‘P’... Oh.... Oh no. Okay, play this cool, man. Don’t act weird about this. She seems normal enough so maybe it’s not her. Ahh but it’s as Uncle Asmo always says: ‘Crazy hides well underneath normal’.
“AURELIUS! WHERE’D YOU GO, YOU LITTLE SHIT!”
“And that’s my cue. Sorry to cut this short but I have to get moving.” He says as he brings his demon form out. “Maybe we’ll have classes together at school. I’ll see you around, Persephone.” He hopes they don’t. In fact, if she is ‘P’, he hopes they never meet again but he’s trying to act personable. “Bye!” And as soon as he came, he was gone- soaring high into the sky. “By the way, you might want to take a few steps back! My sister’s about to come barreling through here in a matter of seconds!
The former idol can only nod as she thinks he looks even more beautiful in person.

masterlist
Calum was sick of hearing her voicemail message. It's all he had heard when he tried calling her for the past three weeks. At first, he had blamed it on the distance, he'd been away on tour for the past three months and time zones were difficult to navigate at times, but at least he had tried to call and talk with her. She'd simply said goodbye to him at their airport and had proceeded to act as if she'd never met Calum before. 
It had been three months of Calum sending her pictures of his travels and sending updates about where they were, what they were doing, and that he missed her. It had also been three months of silence, of not knowing where she was or what she was going. For all Calum knew, she had disappeared off the face of the Earth and was never coming back. They'd been in Paris when Ashton finally convinced him to call her and put an end to whatever game she was playing. That was two months and one week ago, now Calum was sick of hearing the voice mail message he'd almost memorized from hearing it for the past week. 
"Hi! Sorry I couldn't get to the phone in time! I'm probably super busy but I'll give you a call back as soon as I can! Bye! I love you!" 
Calum's jaw clenched as he heard the all familiar beep of her answering machine, a sigh leaving him before he hung up and set his phone down on the couch of the green room in whatever country he was in that day. He was out the door before even Ash could come and get him this time, his daily ritual of calling her with the hopes that she would answer and tell him that she'd been far too busy and something else that would make everything okay. But with every voicemail message he left, Calum felt his love slipping farther and farther away from her. 
Calum remembers when he first fell in love with her. They'd been seeing each other for around eight months, dates filled with sweet kisses, and looking up at the stars. It had been the best eight months of Calum's life, he had never felt so free and so happy than in those eight months of being with her. 
They'd been at the beach cafe he had first met her at, she'd been telling him a story about her family vacation where she had ended up on the beach alone and too drunk to remember where her hotel room was. She was halfway through her story when Calum's mouth opened and the words escaped him before his brain could even stop him. 
She was the woman of Calum's dreams and he wasn't going to let his fear of love stop him from having something he could cherish with her. He would walk through hell and back for her and he was willing to throw caution to the wind ready for whatever love had planned for him. 
Tour buses were a safe haven for Calum. He was away from the screaming crowds and the fans that always seemed to want to pry into his life. He was alone in his bunk, the darkness that enveloped him, and his mind helped him shut off the memories of her and how his heart felt like it was breaking one day at a time. After much begging and giving Ashton a promise that he was okay, he was alone on a tour bus his mind empty as he closed his eyes and tried to let the hum of the engine lull him back to sleep. 
Lately, Calum's dreams had consisted of a voicemail message, and the last time he had seen her, wrapped in one of his hoodies with tear-stained cheeks. He kept hearing her voice, echoing in his mind, telling him to be back soon and to bring her snacks. When he woke up, Calum felt like his eyeballs were going to explode, the pounding headache he'd gotten before he was on the bus still present. He was sick of having those stupid dreams of her voice and her smile and he was sick of thinking about her every day. So the only thing he could think of was to call her one last time. 
"It's me again, I know you're probably sick of hearing me. You're probably sick of me telling you that I'm sorry for doing something wrong that I don't even know what it is. I just, I called to say goodbye. I'm guessing that's what you meant when we talked last, that goodbye meant you didn't want to hear me anymore. I loved you when I left, I loved you when you didn't answer my phone calls, I loved you when you started posting on Twitter about your family vacation again. I loved you when I saw that picture of both of you at the beach, kissing. I loved you, I pushed through my fears and let go of myself for you. And now I lost everything because of something that you won't explain to me. I gave you my heart, I gave you my soul and you threw it away like it was nothing. Shut me out and pretended that I never cared about you and...But I know I'm done now, I know that you didn't know how to love me so now you can leave and I can leave and we don't have anything else to talk about. So I guess this is goodbye, have a nice life, I hope he makes you happier than I ever could." 
Three years ago Calum would've never imagined he'd be sitting at the same beachside cafe where he'd given his heart away. Three years ago Calum was on a tour bus numb to the world as the voicemail message hurt his ear and his brain. But things were different now, he was no longer crying himself to sleep. His heart didn't feel like it would break in half whenever he drove past the cafe. Especially today, when he had walked in holding her hand and sighed in relief when the entire place didn't explode. It wasn’t until he heard the basita call out a familiar name and his entire body tensed up.
Calum was in a bad place when he met her. He'd been locked in Ashton's guest room for six months before he even decided that going out to the grocery store would be a nice chance for fresh air. Being on the road for almost a year and then coming home to LA where all the memories of her were still in his house was not something he had prepared himself to handle. Two days into being back home, Calum found himself with a packed bag and Duke in his arms at Ashton's front door. He had laid down in the guest bedroom that day and had never gotten back up. 
"Do you think vanilla or regular oat milk would be better for banana bread?" she asked him while holding up to cartons of oat milk. 
Calum was in love with her smile since that first time he saw it. He doesn't even remember what answer he gave her, just remembers that he looked at her for way too long and probably freaked her out. But he somehow ended up with her phone number and before he knew it he was kissing her during the middle of a crappy superhero movie he really regretted suggesting they watch. 
When Calum saw her for the first time in three years, he felt like he was going to explode with anger. She looked like she had the day Calum her saw her last. She still had the same long hair she always complained about, still wore the gold hoop earrings that he had gotten her for her birthday, and she was still wearing that damn hoodie. 
His fists were clenched so tightly that his knuckles were white and it took everything in Calum's power to not walk over to her and tell her everything he'd been through since she'd left him. He watched as she paid for her drink and walked out of the coffee shop without noticing him. But with a deep breath and his coffee in his hand, Calum walked out to his car and drove off. She might've changed overnight, but it had taken Calum years to change and now that he had, he wasn't going to let his past ruin a good day. 
The text message notification had been on his home screen for three hours. He'd been staring at it every five minutes for the past three hours. He hated seeing it on his screen, hated that she thought she could just text him after three years of radio silence, and expect him to answer. His hands had stopped shaking an hour after he'd gotten the text message but every time he read it over, the anger built in his chest and he had to pace around his living room and groan out loud before he managed to sit back down and start the cycle all over again. 
"You look good. I like the blonde curls. We should meet up, talk about us? I miss you." 
He couldn't help but roll his eyes, three years of radio silence and all he got was a compliment and a proposition to meet up again. His fingers moved faster than ever before as he typed out his reply, all the anger, and resentment of the past three years falling off his shoulders in a matter of seconds. He hadn't even noticed when his fingers had stopped moving, his heart was racing and his breathing was uneven. His eyes scanned over the paragraph that he'd seemingly been holding in his chest for the last couple of years and with a simple tap, it was gone.  
Calum really loved his girlfriend. He loved the fact that after he deleted and blocked the phone number he had hoped to get a notification from for so long, his girlfriend showed up with his favorite Italian food and a bottle of wine. He loved that she held him close while they watched reruns of The Simpsons and she ran her hands through his curls. He loved that she was willing to cancel their date night and just hold him close because it meant that he found someone who loved him just the same.

Freedom (Johnny) - final
Tumblr media
pairing: Demon!Johnny x Dancer!You (female character)
word count: around 6k
synopsis: After dancing at NCT’s party and having a private session with Johnny, you find yourself in a different situation. 
Inspired by Freedom - Kris Wu ft Jhené Aiko.
(Part 1 here)
[a/n]: i actually had a side-blog once and posted it there but i got author’s block and deleted everything. anyway, i’m rather proud of this scenario so i decided to post it again lol
You say you want some freedom You ain't got a leash on, you ain't coming home But where you wanna go You already know We can blow a creeper on the low I’ll be on my throne Tryna take it slow Guess you can control, let's play
 On rainy days, Y/N would rant about having to go to college in such a weather, then she would eat a schwarma and watch a good “Vines Compilation” until her mood was slightly better. Chances were that, if the “Bewitched boy vine” or the Mexican kid screaming "Alguien se comió mi torta” were in them, she’d smile.
However, since Johnny Seo happened, Y/N didn’t do any of that.
And that was three months ago.
“You’re really refusing a ride for college in this shitty weather?!” Yuta rolled his eyes.
“I’m refusing dying for a second time, Yuta.” Y/N chuckled.
“I won’t pick you up if the storm gets stronger, you know that, right?”
“Yeah, I know.” She opened the door of her apartment. “Before you leave, turn  the lights off.”
“Why don’t you move back to our house?”
“Because I can’t stand Youngho.” Y/N quipped. “Don’t forget the lights, dear!”
“I’ll pick you up at 9PM, college’s main door. One minute late and you’ll go back home all alone and in the rain.” Yuta yelled while she was leaving.
“Thank you.” She grinned, knowing he would always play hard to get.
  Later that night…
When Johnny heard a loud – excited – scream coming from Lucas, he knew she was there. It took her almost two months to come back... But who was counting, huh?
He pushed the girl out of his lap and barely looked at her while he dressed back.
“You gotta leave.”
“What?” The blonde beauty glared at him, shocked.
“You gotta leave. I need to address to an important matter right now.”
“B-but you said you didn’t have any business today!”
“Turns out I do.” He sighed. “Hurry up, I’ll escort you to the door.”
The girl pouted, but it didn’t make him change his mind. His attention drifted to the new female demon that had entered his property, the one that made his blood boil. He checked himself in the big mirror, feeling extremely hypnotising and sensual. Obviously, Y/N would pretend not to feel a thing, but he wanted her to be a bit shaken by his appearance. They didn’t part in good terms, so Johnny decided to give her a sample of the life she lost by gently telling him “to fuck off” and storming out of the room like a crazy ex-girlfriend. While closing his door, he made sure the sound was loud. When he walked to the stairs, he could hear Taeyong and Yuta saying something about ‘kitchen’ and there was a small silence. Perfect for his dramatic entrance.
Y/N looked up to the foyer at the sound of steps, her insides tightening at the sight of Seo Youngho. Then, right behind him, there was a tall, golden-haired lady that looked like a model.
“Cassiopeia is leaving.” Johnny announced in that hypnotic voice of his.
“I thought she had just arrived?!” Lucas frowned.
“Turns out she has some stuff to do.”
The girl looked so offended by his remark but didn’t object to any of it.
“Oh, ok then.” Lucas shrugged. “Y/N, Doyoung and I are going up to play some games, she’ll sleep over. Yuta and Tae are cooking dinner. Wanna join us?”
“Yes.” He shook his head. “Bye, Cassiopeia.”
And without a word, he left her alone in the staircase. She made an ‘I’m offended’ sound and came to the main floor, looking at Y/N and Lucas in pure annoyance.
“Johnny said he didn’t have anything to do, but then he kicks me out… What is happening, Lucas?” She inquired, trying to pout cutely.
“How would I know that, dear?” Lucas ventured, dismissing her with a soft grin. “C’mon Y/N, I’ve bought the French deck so you can teach me that truco game.”
Truco is a card game for two, four or six players, who shout a lot and make signs to tell their partner what cards they had. It’s a popular game in Latin American countries, with some regional differences, but funny either way. She was used to play that with her friends, Inez being the one that taught them how to. Since she couldn’t see the girls ever so often, Y/N decided that she would teach the boys, so whenever she felt like playing, she’d have company.
When Lucas opened his bedroom door, Johnny was there – his silky black hair parted in the middle and the white button-up shirt with the three first ones unbuttoned. Y/N felt as if she was punched in the stomach, his beauty too much for her own good.
“What are we playing?” Johnny asked.
“Nothing.” She replied. “Actually, I’ll go to the kitchen to help Yuta and Taeyong.”
“Are you really going to run away every time we meet?” Johnny pouted. “I didn’t take you as a coward, mei fortuna.”
“And I didn’t take you as a joke, Youngho, but look at where we are now?!” She spat.
“Ok, I’m gonna get Doyoung and when I come back, I want everyone behaving politely and pretending to be friends, huh?!” Lucas spoke slowly, as if he was talking to small, naughty children.
He left the room, closing the door with a dry sound. Y/N sighed, throwing herself on his bed and facing the ceiling in a stupid attempt to ignore the male demon.
“So, how’s life?” Johnny tried going for a small talk.
“Pretty good.” Y/N muttered. She intended to sound rude.
“Did Yuta tell you about the party this weekend?”
“He did, yes.”
“You coming?”
“I’m not sure. Maybe.” She looked at her nails, pretending to be uninterested.
“You can’t possible think about living only with your friends’ sins, Y/N. What if they notice you’re always the reason they start gossiping?”
“I don’t live off of only gossips. People commit sins every hour, duh.”
“You manipulate them to commit small sins, then?” Johnny laughed. “That isn’t enough.”
“Well, you should’ve thought better before ruining my life and turning me into a demon. I prefer doing things this way, it’s easier and doesn’t make my conscience ashamed.”
“Are you kidding me? You make your friends sin! What type of conscience is that?”
“And what about you? Do you even have one? You, I quote again, ruined my fucking life!”
“Aw, don’t be petty. At least I did it for myself and never pretended to have done with for something or someone else.” The corner of his mouth quirked up and she rolled her eyes. 
What was she expecting, to begin with? That he killed her to save his friends?! To save the world?! Ha, ha.
“See? And I’m doing this for myself too.”
“You won’t be powerful enough if you keep doing it.”
“I don’t intend to be powerful enough.”
“Are you sure?” Youngho tilted his head to the side, only the tiniest bit, but it drove her crazy.  That horrible man was so sarcastic and so arrogant… Ugh! She wanted to choke him!
Doyoung walked in with Lucas, automatically putting an end to their discussion.
“Let the games begin!” He shouted happily.
Y/N really tried not to get affected by Johnny’s presence, but it was impossible. She couldn’t stop remembering everything. Every fucking thing.
The tension when they met, how she was so hypnotised by him at first glance. Her dance and his eyes on her all the time. When they flirted. When she rejected him. The lap dance. When they kissed. When they fucked and how amazing, ethereal, unique that was… Then she died because of him. Fuck, it was so hard to accept the truth! Only being able to live because she took advantage of others and made them sin… She even brought her loved ones into the mess! What kind of disgusting creature would even do that?
But demons were like that and the faster she learned to deal with it, the better.
Also, there was one more thing bothering her: if she hadn’t arrived, Johnny would’ve slept with that Cassiopeia girl… Right? She said he kicked her out when they arrived.
Y/N felt the need to vomit.
“You seem a bit off, dear.” She was surprised by Doyoung’s soothing voice and the petname. Normally, Lucas was the one to be affectionate (and caring).
“I’m tired from college, so I can’t get into my competitive mode and make the game funnier.”
“How many months until it ends?”
“Two, thank God.” She chuckled, earning three smirks in response.
“You’re really a believer now.” Johnny teased her, knowing she would get annoyed.
“I actually had no other option.” Y/N’s tone was dry and she refused to look at him.
“Well, I’m sure the supper is almost ready, so what about we stop the game for now and go to the kitchen? If you eat you’ll get a boost of energy.” Doyoung held her hand, shocking her even more. 
Did the boys actually feel sorry for her having to put up with Johnny?!
“Agreed.” Lucas shook his head. “Let’s go, princess.”
Youngho was frowning due to Doyoung’s odd behaviour, but it got unbearable thanks to Lucas’ boldness. What the fuck was wrong with his friends? Did Y/N need to be pampered and treated as the most delicate flower now?
If he was going to be honest with himself – which he was not –, he'd admit that he was a bit jealous. Y/N didn’t need sugar-coated treatment; she liked things rough, she was tough and cold when she needed to be, and knew how to put people in their place. A woman like her should be treated as a goddess, not as a fragile lady. And, well, Johnny knew how to treat her right. He knew exactly what to do to make her squirm, to capture all of her attention, to crawl under her skin. Unfortunately, since they were connected by her transformation, he was sure Y/N knew what to do to him as well…
Even though she never seemed interested in using it to her favour.
That was the saddest thing about turning people into demons: you created a bond with them; so you could feel when they are struggling, when they’re excited, when they’re mad or happy... That’s why less and less demons offered or agreed to do so; it was too much trouble. When Y/N woke after “dying” and they talked, Johnny went out to find more experienced demons who could help him figure out what really had happened, but there wasn’t much information about what happened when someone becomes demon without selling their soul and requesting to come back as one of them. Then, he wasn’t able to answer all of her questions and Y/N freaked out, deciding she had enough and was wasting her time... So she left him.
Him.
She didn’t leave Yuta, Taeyong, Lucas or Doyoung.
She left just him.
Moreover, it was a hard punch on his ego. No one ever left him, he left them.
When they sat down for dinner, Y/N was between Yuta and Lucas, looking more relaxed than before. She loved Taeyong’s food because it was always homemade and he usually cooked dishes she could use as “comfort food”; besides, that’s what eating meant to her: comfort. He had prepared dough soup (sujibae), mushrooms, courgettes and garlic bread as sides, and for dessert chocolate lava cake. 
Yuta poured her some soup while she devoured in one bite the bread.
“Do you live in hunger?” He joked.
“Only when the weather is shitty.” Y/N stated. “Oh God, Tae, I love your food!”
“I’m glad I can help.” The leader smiled lovingly. “Did you have fun playing cards?”
“No, dear, not at all.” She shook her head. “Would you ever be so kind to pass me the mushrooms, Dodo?” The adorable smile she gave Doyoung (and that hideous petname) made Johnny scow. 
What the fuck was happening there?
“Should we start with the British accent as well?! Maybe some Regency outfits and a full decoration?” Doyoung joked, handling her the mushroom bowl.
“Capital! That would be precious.” Y/N leaned forward, a hand on her heart and eyes twinkling. “I’d like to be called ‘Your Grace’ or ‘milady’.”
“Holy fuck!” Lucas tried to muffled a laugh. “Suits you perfectly, tho. However, since I’ve always been calling you ‘princess’ I might have to stick with ‘Your Highness’, huh?”
“The higher the better.” She winked.
“Damn, you’re still here but I’m already missing you so much!” Yuta bawled. “Please, come back home! You’ll be safer and happier here, I swear.”
“Agreed.” Lucas and Doyoung said at the same time.
She felt her heart warm up with that. It was awesome living together with them – unfortunately, she didn’t want to put up with all the trouble Johnny brought her, and he sure would. Also, what would she do if he showed up with girls night after night? She couldn’t spend the whole day in the bedroom and the boys would think she was sick or going officially crazy… Yes, of course she could talk about Johnny with any of them, but she didn’t want to. Talking about him would make things more real… And she preferred to ignore it.
“You know I can’t, Yuta.” She was about to change subjects when she earned the puppiest ‘puppy eyes’ look of all them: Taeyong. “Stop, Tae! Don’t look at me like that! It’s not good for the baby.”
“Which baby?” He paled.
“Me.” Her mouth twitched.
Lucas chuckle soon turned into a laugh and soon everyone started laughing too… Everyone but Johnny. His eyes were bored into her, trying to tore her skin and uncover all truth she had hidden – sincerely, with the intensity of that gaze, she wouldn’t be surprised if she was naked.
  Johnny left her mouth, his strong body hovering over her and his hand kept its work. Y/N felt her heart beating loudly thanks to the pleasure.
It had to be the pleasure.
‘We’re not doing things your way.’ She moaned.
‘Are you sure?’ There he was again, being the stupidly arrogant man he was.
‘We’re not.’ Y/N tried to assure her own head.
‘Aw, I think we will.’ His long digit eased its way inside her, making Y/N’s eyes shut automatically. The hideous man! ‘What do you say?’
‘Stop, Youngho, that’s what I say. Stop.’
He paused as instructed but his finger was still in her.
Y/N abruptly shifted on the bed, the wet dream still painfully alive on her memory. She looked to the side – Lucas, as the heavy sleeper he was, didn’t even flinch at her agony. Leaving the mattress, she grabbed her night-robe and decided that the kitchen was the best place to deal with frustrations… Or whatever “wet dreams” should be classified.
  She was in the middle of preparing hot chocolate when she heard steps.
“Oh, you’re here.” Johnny’s voice sent shivers down her spine.
“Youngho.” Y/N breathed in.
“Y/N.”
“Why are you here?”
“Am I not allowed to enter my own kitchen?”
“That’s not what I meant.”
“I’m here because I was hungry and smelled chocolate, so I thought Tae was having a midnight-crisis and wanted to bake something to chill out.” He shrugged. “Anyway, mei fortuna, what about you? What made you wake up so early? A wet dream?” He smiled innocently at her, doing his best to look uninterested.
“How the fuck did you know?”
“I’m connected to you, I told you already.”
“Yeah, in a really dumb and weak way.” She sneered. “Stop reading my mind, then.”
“I’m not reading it; what the fuck do you take us for?! We’re not in Twilight!” Johnny crinkled his nose. “You died in lust and greed, that’s why these are more intense in your life now. And, not to be nosy, you need to fuck often.”
“Oh my fucking God.” She rolled her eyes, turning off the stove.
“You’ve been calling Him a lot.”
“Yeah, I found out He’s the only one listening to my complaints, currently.”
“Aren’t your soldiers working hard to grant each one of your wishes?”
“My soldiers?”
“Lucas, Yuta, Taeyong and Doyoung. I’ve never seen them this devoted.”
“They aren’t my soldiers, but I won’t apologize for the way they treat me.” She smiled coyly. “If it bothers you, I suggest you mind your own business, then.”
“It is quite hard to mind my own business when they’ve been all petnames and sugar-coated actions on you.” Johnny stated matter-of-factly. “You don’t need this.”
“What are you trying to suggest? That I don’t deserve to be pampered?!”
“Precisely.” He agreed. “You don’t like that.”
“Do you even listen to yourself sometimes?” She scoffed, offended.
“Mei fortuna, you like roughness and choking, you like playing the femme fatale and you like the idea of being in control even when you know that it ain’t true.” Johnny raised a brow. “Or am I wrong? Do you really enjoy those ‘princesses’ and ‘dears’ and ‘sweethearts’?”
“Judging by this I suppose you call me a whore when you go on with your ‘Mei fortuna’ thing, right?!”
Johnny’s eyes lighted up in surprise. He thought she would know by now, but that wasn’t the case.
“Actually it’s a Latin expression that means ‘My luck’… Since you’re my lucky charm.”
She didn’t mean to be touched by it. She didn’t even like what it represented… But she, somehow, felt her heart getting warm and small.
Oh, for fuck sakes, the man was hideous!
“Hmpf. Well.” She stuck her nose in the air, dismissing him. “I’m going to sleep.”
“Without your hot chocolate?”
“You can have it.”
“Are you coming to the party this Saturday?”
“Perhaps I will.” Y/N disappeared into the hall, leaving Johnny with a smug smile.
It was flattering that she had a wet dream with him and felt bothered by it. He couldn’t wait to put his hands on her again… And he would make sure to do it on Saturday.
  ●●●
Yuta had showed Y/N all the possible souls she could buy or feed off. He knew how to handle her and how to make it all seem less horrible – which she preferred.
“You have to feed yourself, love. Properly.” He had told her, compassion shining on his dark eyes.
Yuta was right, as expected. After corrupting two souls, her body felt stronger, alive. And the feeling was addictive; she wanted to keep doing that for ages.
Congrats Y/N, you’re a hideous being. – her conscience screamed.
A tall man walked past the group she was talking to, the dark blue suit so beautiful and shiny that it caught her attention. Her eyes went straight up to the man’s face… Just to find out he wasn’t a stranger at all. Of course Seo Youngho would be walking around as if he was God himself. They exchanged glances and Y/N felt another type of hunger.
Damn, she would give everything to get dicked down by him (again).
With a handshake, she dismissed her targets and approached Devil.
“Youngho.”
“Y/N. You came.”
“Not really.” She couldn’t help but rejoice in his grin.
“That can be arranged.”
“Oh, I’m afraid it can.” She shook her head positively. “These guys are really easy to convince. In fact, Yuta showed me some of them, and the rest happened almost automatically.”
“So no more gossips? Are you eating properly?”
“Wanna check out?”
“No, no. I might get jealous.” He gave her a half smile. “But I’m glad you’re finally doing it right.” His eyes turned slowly into the devilish cognac colour, shining with wickedness and proudness, and Y/N felt her throat burn with desire.
That man was impossible.
“Isn’t Cassandra around?” Right after asking, Y/N felt stupid and childish.
“Cassiopeia?” Johnny looked at her with humour. “I don’t think she will come. She’s mad at me and I’m not in the mood to deal with humans.”
“But are you in the mood for demons?”
“It depends. Are they female?”
“Maybe…”
“Interesting. What else?”
“It’s just a possibility, though.” Y/N started cautiously. “I mean, you’re really arrogant and I’m still fed up with all that happened months ago – but maybe, and I stress it, maybe, I want us to fuck.” She blushed. “The wet dream and all…”
Johnny smirked.
“Wanna discuss it somewhere private?”
“Please.” She agreed.
  They got inside Johnny’s chamber and Y/N remembered the day she went there for the first time. Apparently, even though she didn’t sleep with him that night, it was bound to happen. And now, luckily, she would lay on that wicked bed and do wicked things with Mr. Wicked.
“Why are you still mad?”
“I’m having a hard time concealing my demon shit with my previous life. Now that I’m eating properly, it downed on me it’s real, you know?!”
“Yeah, it is tricky in the beginning.” He chuckled. “But I don’t see why you should stay mad at that, nor at me.”
“Oh, of course you only turned me into this, but where’s the problem, huh?!”
“Are we having this conversation again?”
“Well, I apologize for not fully adapting into a life I didn’t ask for!” Her tone was sarcastic, but the way her brows knotted together made her just cute.
He could feel her anger and her lust… Oh, she was so adorable! He couldn’t help himself.
“Y/N, look, I know you didn’t ask for it and I know you’re annoyed by what happened but there’s no way to reverse it. So, instead of being bitter and petty forever, why don’t you enjoy what was given to you? You have powers, you can manipulate lives and destinies… And you have me.”
“What?” Her jaw dropped.
“Well, I’m here to fuck you senseless, aren’t I?”
“I-I kinda hope so… I guess.”
“Then let’s close the topic. After I'll fuck your brains out, I think you’ll be able to see things clearer, alright?” Johnny locked the door. “Now be a good girl and strip for me. This skirt is driving me nuts.” He gestured to her leather skirt.
Her hands went to the clothing piece, but she stopped mid-way.
“What?” Johnny inquired.
“I was thinking… I’ve stripped for you once and did a lap dance.” She tilted her head to the side. “Would it be too greedy of me if I ask you to take them off yourself?”
He hesitated for a brief second, then smirked.
“It would be a pleasure.”
Y/N felt her heart beating fast while he approached her – those long fingers going straight to her cropped top. Her boobs fell down, free from the fabric, and Johnny’s mouth watered at the sight. He played with one nipple, feather touches, just to tease. Y/N was too focused on his alcoholic yellow eyes to try to make him stop with the teasing.
“You make me so thirsty, Youngho.”
Something in the way she said his name – as if it was a prayer – ignited him inside.
“For what?” One of his hands travelled up to her chin, cupping it.
“For cognac.” She closed her eyes and breathed in. “For kisses.” And then when she looked at him again, her irises were also yellow. “For you.”
He kissed her urgently, passionately, violently. It had been months since he felt something like that… Something so right. It couldn’t be just because he transformed her; he had that feeling long before. However, Johnny didn’t want to analyse anything but her body… Well, not yet. He tugged on her skirt, pulling it down slowly. Stopping the kiss to look at her in her burgundy lace set, he sighed contently. Oh, he would devour her.
“What?” Y/N questioned.
“Nothing. It’s just that you are too pretty for your own good.”
“And you’re too dressed for my own good.” She giggled.
“Well, do you want me to strip?” His voice was pure mockery, but his eyes were predatory.
“If you’d ever be so kind, sir.”
“Oh.” He smiled, his body beginning to withdraw from hers. “Then if you allow me to be greedy too, I have a request.”
“I thought you were the boss here.”
“Normally, yes. But once in a lifetime I can let someone else play the role… That being said, can you call me ‘Youngho’ or ‘Johnny’ as for tonight? Nothing about ‘sir’ or ‘Devil’.”
“That’s an odd request coming from you, sir, but I can comply.”
“Alright. Now that we’re settled, maybe you should sit down… I won’t be able to catch you if you faint while I strip.” He blinked in fake innocence, which made Y/N grin.
She didn’t want to argue with him right now. They were teasing each other and it felt good, not resentful like it has been for the past months. Even though calling him by his name would make things way more intimate, she couldn’t bring herself to care. Also, she needed a proper fuck. She needed someone like Johnny; and she didn’t want to ruin everything before she had an orgasm. 
When Y/N sat down on his bed and it was as if she was embraced by pure lust. She touched the black satin sheets and smiled to herself… She had a set that looked like that, and it was her favourite one. Then she looked up and forgot how to breathe. Handsome boys undressing from their suits should be elected as the first of the Seven Wonders of the World. After taking out his jacket, Johnny started unbuttoning his shirt, loving the way Y/N followed his fingers as if she was under hypnosis. He threw it aside, hands now on his belt, and Y/N licked her lips.
“Holy fuck, let me do it.” She reached out for him, but he slapped her hand.
“No, no. This is my time to shine, mei fortuna. You asked for a strip and you’ll get one.”
“You’re taking too long!”
“You took two months and a whole ass song! I’m not even gonna take four minutes.”
“My tongue is impatient.” She nagged. “Please, Youngho.”
“What does your tongue have to do with it?”
“I want to lick every inch of you, that’s the problem!”
He chuckled, finding her eagerness so adorable that he gave up. “Oh, ok then. Guess you can control now.”
Y/N wanted to take her time with his body, so she started from his neck. Getting up, she let her hands touch his shoulders while her mouth went to his chin and collarbones. Oh, he was delicious and addictive! What a horrible, hideous man! Johnny’s chest rose, breathing in, closing his eyes to enjoy the caress properly. Her tongue left small licks all over his torso, getting lazier with every step further down, next to his belt. One warm hand got rid of his trousers in a quick move, leaving him with his underwear. Y/N smiled to herself, undressing him from his last piece of clothes. Without warning, she swirled her tongue over his shaft, receiving a raspy grunt in response. She looked up, repeating the movement, slower. Youngho sighed, feeling shivers run through his body. He watched, mesmerised, Y/N start to suck him off, swallowing him as far as she could handle. He tightened the grip on her head, but not moving at all, because it was her time to dictate the rhythm. Her large nails clawed at his thighs and the shivers intensified. He let out a loud groan as Y/N squeezed her testicles lightly, testing them. Johnny leaned against the wall, succumbing to the pleasure, but his attention remained on her, unable to take his eyes off the wonderful scene that Y/N was sucking his dick.
She guided his wrist to her hair, not really needing to “be in control” to make him cum. Johnny accepted it as if he needed to be tugging on her hair tightly for his life. He kept her head still and started to fuck her mouth. Y/N looked up again, and her eyes were so lustful that it was more than he could bear; Youngho was never prepared to see her as beautiful and disposed as she was in sex. He really wanted her to be in Louvre, the most precious paint to ever be shown.
“Can I cum in your mouth, mei fortuna?” He asked, wiping a small tear from her eye, his thumb caressing her cheekbone while he kept thrusting inside.
She shook her head positively the best she could, due to their position. It didn’t take much to make Johnny cum – he got out slightly, so he could see his seed filling her mouth. It was all too erotic, too lustful, so right. He watched Y/N eagerly lick her mouth, giggling. Without giving him more time to take enjoy of the scene, Y/N stood up.
“I think you should lay down, Youngho.”
“Anything you want, love.” Johnny mocked her, doing as she suggested. “What are you going to ride tonight?”
Y/N tried to pretend she wasn’t surprised he guessed what was going to happen. “Your face, and then your cock... If you behave.”
Johnny chuckled. “The only noise you’re going to listen from me is my mouth devouring you, I promise.”
It took her a deep breath to start moving. Her heart was beating so fast and she was so anxious to have his mouth on hers that she, for a moment, thought she wouldn’t handle it. Y/N passed one leg on either side of his face, slowly going down before sitting on that pretty mouth. His tongue began to move, the friction and speed so wonderful that it made her moan loudly. That was so much better than what she had imagined. Holding on the headboard, Y/N tried to focus entirely on the sensations. Youngho licked her like a lazy cat, sucking ever so often on her clit and letting one hand rest on her thigh. When she felt fully enchanted, her hips started moving slightly, riding his face as she had warned before. Johnny growled, his tongue speeding up.
“If you suffocate, please just throw me aside.”
He pushed his face further on her pussy, as a response. Y/N’s eyes flew shut, the orgasm building quickly. Oh, the hideous man he was! Her body just couldn’t get enough of him! She gasped, tipping her head back, enjoying the tight grip on her stomach. Somehow, he smacked her butt and it was everything she needed to fall into the pool of pleasure.
Johnny didn’t wait for Y/N to calm down. He gently pushed her to the side and sat down, bringing her to his lap, kissing her hungrily. In a matter of second, she was already aligning herself in his member. His eyes brightened in anticipation. It was incredible how anything made by her became an intense erotic act. Her breasts arched forward while she sunk on his dick, and he took them in his hands, squeezed them, sucking her nipples and leaving little bites that made Y/N moan loudly. He stared at the spot where they met, feeling pure bliss. The first thrust was so precise that she ran out of air. Only Johnny could touch her in the right way, make her feel right. At that moment, while the two were together, Y/N did not think about her problems or their complicated relationship; she concentrated only on Youngho and all the wonderful things that made her feel. How desperate she had been for him, and it seemed to get worse over time. Staring into his alcoholic eyes, Y/N began rock against him, increasing their pleasure. She was still sensitive from the past orgasm and that was enough to make her hungry for another. Johnny grabbed her hip, the noise of thrusts being louder than the grunts and gasps they let loose. She ran her hands down his tanned backs then wrapped them around his neck, still grinding, but she lost some speed as he lowered his face and sucked one of her nipples. It was hard to focus on only one place in her burning body. She began to quiver, her nails digging into his shoulder and indicating her orgasm.
“Here.” Youngho took her hands on his, intertwining their fingers. “To keep you steady, love.”
The petname was too much.
He should come back with ‘Mei fortuna’ or anything that remembered her of who they truly was… But ‘Love’ was too much. ‘Love’ made her heart feel warm and melt. ‘Love’ made her think she could never stay a day without looking at those yellow eyes.
Y/N gave in to the spasms and searched for air as she reached her high – she was far away, plunged into absolute delight. No more than a minute later, she felt Johnny's arms hold her down, laying her on her back while he climbed up and shoved into her again. Y/N let out a little shriek from the surprise thrust. The strength in which he held her would leave marks, but Youngho was too eager for release to care. When he came, he moaned loud his hips slowing down only a bit. He grinned, sticking his forehead to hers and opened his eyes.
“One time I heard Lucifer is the prettiest being alive.” She murmured, hypnotised. “Are you sure your name is Youngho?”
“I am, Y/N.”
“Damn, if he is prettier than you than I hope to never meet him.”
Johnny couldn’t help but chuckle. “It’s good when you don’t die after we fuck.”
“It only happened once.” She groaned. “Are you really going to ruin the mood?”
“It keeps me from doing something crazy.”
“Such as?”
“Asking you to move back home… Asking you to stay.” He shrugged, getting out of her.
Y/N sat down, shocked. “What to do you mean?”
“I thought fucking you would make you come to your senses, but turns out it backfired.”
“Youngho, I don’t have time for metaphors.”
“Maybe demons do fall in love, Y/N, and maybe I’ve fallen for you.”
She choked, too surprised to answer or pretend to be fine with what he said.
“And maybe that’s why you didn’t officially die when I corrupted you.” Youngho ruffled his hair, wiping a bit of the sweat off. “I don’t know, honestly. Nothing like this happened to my friends that corrupted beings of light, but none of them felt this drawn into their victims.” He approached her, holding her chin up and looking into her now yellow eyes. “When we met… When you left two months ago… It was you from the beginning, Just Y/N, not your light.”
Oh, the hideous, horrible man!
And just like that, he had her heart wrapped around his finger.
