He wasn't thinking when he approached the model, who gathered his things up. "Excuse me, would you mind staying just another 30 minutes?" And then, because he thought incentive would help added, "I'll buy you a drink after. You're a good model."
Niibashi didn't compliment often, and it felt foreign on his tongue.
"For real? Absolutely!" He was all but jumping in place. "I needed an excuse to skip ping pong club, if I'm being honest." He shot a quick text off and turned his attention to Niibashi once more, hand extended. "Tashiro Gonzaburo, by the way."
He responded in kind. "Niibashi Juuya."
While they shook hands, Niibashi took in the differences. His own hand was covered with streaks of chalk, and paint lingered under his fingernails. When they were clean, he prided himself on his well kept hands. Tashiro's were rough, calloused, and the way he gripped Niibashi's hand felt oddly safe, secure.

20 Questions for Fic Writers
thanks for the tag, @fabrowrites!
Tagging: @basicallyjaywalker and, uh, I'm not really sure. NWOD buddies, if you see this, you're all welcome to hop on too!
1. how many works do you have on ao3?
Twelve! One is technically a mini essay collection and one is a poem, though, so ten proper fics.
2. what's your total ao3 word count?
122,397!!! Which is.... wow!!
3. what fandoms do you write for?
Ninjago. That's it. I don't really engage with other shows enough to write fic for them, and I think writing fic for IRL bands and such is weird as hell, so I don't that at all.
4. what are your top five fics by kudos?
Oh boy, let's see:
A Disappearing Act (Done Poorly) leads the race, which makes sense - she's been around the longest!
It Doesn't Take Much (To Cover Up Small Cuts) is a bit of a surprise, but so worth it.
The Splinter in the Blind Man's Eye: An Unofficial Revision . What a great group project. Too bad Tommy wandered off to work on Dreamzzz or whatever... This one is like a tombstone on my account. Or maybe a mausoleum...
Just Cross The Waters my beloved!
Coughing Up Feathers is one that I'm amazed isn't higher - kind of had a spike in activity when I updated OSSAS this year.
5. do you respond to comments
YES. I love to blabber. Please ask me questions!!
6. what is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Elegy Above Sea Level isn't a fic - it's that single poem I mentioned earlier - but it's really the only work I have that ends on a purely bitter note. I don't deal in unbalanced angst, but I like this one. Goes down like a raw spoonful of cocoa powder, honestly, and I adore it.
7. what is the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Oof, that's... that's a tough one. I would have to say Coughing Up Feathers purely because it's got a miniature "everyone laughs" ending that still makes me smile when I read it back.
8. do you get hate on fics?
No, and you know what? I wish I did, sort of. Maybe not outright hate, though. As much as I love opening my comments to find my readers excited for me, it does get a little repetitive sometimes. Peer review me in the comments! Find an inconsistency and make me justify it! Lord knows I've done my share of criticism (on Tumblr and Discord, though - I'm just nice enough to not do it in the comments) and I think it would be fun to get that energy back. Plus, spite fuels me! If you make me mad, you get more writing. Win-win.
9. do you write smut? if so, what kind?
Nope. Never. I would rather eat pillow stuffing.
10. do you write crossovers? what's the craziest one you've written?
Not any more, but my very first fic from middle school was a god-awful triple hit of Star Wars (with total homebrew lore, all I kept were the lightsabers and Force tricks), Ninjago, and - get this - Lindsey Stirling. I abandoned it halfway through the Rise of the Snakes season installment.
11. have you ever had a fic stolen?
Nope! That's the nice thing about focusing on an underappreciated angle - everyone else pays attention to the big, popular stuff, and only the people who would appreciate it even look twice at mine.
12. what's the longest you've spent working on a fic? and the shortest?
If I Can Think (Of Something Clever) took me about three months of on and off writing, plus LOADS of planning, so that's my longest! On the other hand, I wrote Wouldn't It Be Grand? (It Ain't Exactly What You Planned) in the span of a few hours.
13. have you ever co-written a fic before?
Nope! Not sure I want to, either, although maybe someday...
14. what's your all-time favorite ship? from all fandoms?
IT'S THE MISFORTUNE'S KEEP. I don't do romance, not really, although to properly answer that I will confess that I do like Jaya enough to write it now and then.
15. what's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
I don't really have any WIPs in limbo right now, so I don't have an answer here? Either I finish a fic or I lay it to rest when the momentum dies. No middle ground.
16. what are your writing strengths?
I've been told that I'm very good at comedic timing and imagery! I love trying to paint the mental image of a room - sometimes I even do floor plans to help me out.
17. what are your writing weaknesses?
I worry that my action writing is a little too straightforward - I write like I had to when I was a stage manager, so my actions are VERY cut and dried. It helps me visualize better, so I'm unlikely to change, but I wonder sometimes if my readers get sick of it.
18. thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
I've never done it, but I think it's a cool idea!
19. first fandom you wrote for?
Ninjago. I've never written fic for any other.
20. favorite fic you've written?
My favorite usually tends to be my most recent, so that honor goes to If I Can Think (Of Something Clever). It also breaks a few records - both in personal best fic length, and in the fact that it's the first fic I've ever seen that comprehensively gets to Nya's experience during e63 instead of just nodding at it during the aftermath. That entire series is fueled by that "be the fic author you want to see in the world" idea, because let's be real - there isn't a lot of Nya centric Skybound content. When there is, it's usually aftermath, but I want to see the thick of it! I'm doing my best out here.

-20 asks for Fic Writers-
Thanks for the tag @rainofthetwilight!
Tags: @tik-ket and @fanficmaniatic and any fic writer that wants to do this!!
1.How many works do you have on AO3?
I have 5!
2. What's your total AO3 wordcount?
154,728
3. What fandom(s) do you write for?
For now, just Ninjago, but maybe I'll do some ATLA or BB in the future
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
Stormbound: 406 kudos (I still can't believe it)
Everything I think I Know it's just static on the radio: 137 kudos
Lightning Pin: also 137 kudos
Let the poison bleed out of me: 60 kudos
Spirits in the sky: 19 kudos
5. Do you respond to comments?
YESS Almost always, I don't always know what to answer, so there are some that I don't answer, but I love each one of them.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angiest ending?
Eh, Let the poison bleed out of me… because Jay dies there so
7. What is the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Most of the ones I write end with a bittersweet ending but I think it would definitely be Spirits in the sky! I actually really love the amount of fluff that that one has
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Nop
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
No but... I mean, maybe in the future I will idk kdjd
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
No, but I've been thinking for a while about doing one of Ninjago and Back to the Future. Simply because it's canon that lightning masters can time travel.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
As far as I know, no
12. What's the longest time you've spent working on a fic? And what's the shortest?
Stormbound: I think I spent about a year planning the whole story (?) and it took me about seven months to write it all. I swear that fic was one of the ones I'd been wanting to write for the longest time.
Home: I made that fic and the illustration in less than two hours.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic?
Nop, but i’d be interested!
14. What's your all time favourite ship? From all the fandoms?
HiccupxAstrid from httyd
15. What's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
The second part of Stormbound. I started making some drafts for some one shots, but a long time ago I decided that this fic didn't need a continuation. I think the ending is quite conclusive so I doubt I'll continue it.
16. What are your writing strengths?
Describe the feelings of characters. I really like replacing dialogue of the characters saying what they feel with simple descriptions and leaving various things implied for the reader. Show instead of tell, I have received very good comments about it.
17. What are your writing weaknessess?
Action scenes. I'm still trying to make them more dynamic and not dwell too much on the descriptions.
And I don't know if it counts but... correct any spelling mistakes because english is not my first language, so every time I reread one of my fics and see some small spelling mistake, a part of me dies.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
I haven't tried it yet, but maybe in the future!
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Ninjago
20. Favourite fic you’ve ever written?
Everything I think I Know it's just static on the radio
I'm still proud of that fic and I think it was one of the ones that made me most sure to plan everything in advance and that there was some symmetry in the chapters.

Twenty Questions for Fic Writers
How many works do you have on ao3?
266. I know most of that is The Chicago Verse.
What's your total ao3 word count?
Aha! I am at 2,100,134. (I used to write sooo much from 2014-2017.)
What fandoms do you write for?
Just Supernatural and its RPF. I dabbled in the MCU with Spideypool fic, but have since not returned to it, nor do I have plans to.
What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
They Met at the Photo Op Booth (J2): 2,082
House of Gold (J2): 1,680
Garbage (J2): 1,533
Like a Small Boat (J2): 1,447
Put Your Hands Where Mine Are (Wincest): 1,303
Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I try to, very much! Especially if a reader has a question or points out a specific thing they liked in the fic.
What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Oh gosh, let's see. Probably "It Takes a lot of Water." Or maybe "The Shortest Distance." There's not really a "happy" ending in either of those fics. They're hopeful endings, but come at a large cost.
What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
I'd say that's either Punzel or They Met at the Photo Op Booth. Both have such sweet, hopeful, joyous endings.
Do you get hate on fics?
I think it's happened less than five times since I've been writing for fandom. A couple (a few?) of people left rude comments on Back Pocket 1 because of how I chose to portray Jensen in that fic (he is close to 400 lbs in that verse). One person left hate on Model of the Solar System. I think someone sometime recently? (maybe?) left something negative on a TCV fic. So no, it generally doesn't happen to me, but when it does, man, I remember it.
Do you write smut?
Yep! I used to post a lot on the spnkinkmeme back in the day, probably around 2015. It was such a great time in fandom. Anyway, yes, certainly, absolutely.
Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
I do not. Except this one time. Yes, I wrote a Harry Potter/SPN crossover fic. But nothing ever came of it. I'm not even going to link it, I don't even remember the title.
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I'm aware of. Readers do let me know when they've seen my fic somewhere it shouldn't be (like on Goodreads).
Have you ever had a fic translated?
I have! It floors me every time I get a request to do that! :)
Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Yep.
What's your all-time favorite ship?
Oh, how do I choose between J2 and Wincest??? Ugh. I guess. Well. Considering... oh, hell. I don't have to choose. :P
What's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
Oh, goodness. Well, I make it a goal of mine to not abandon fics. Unfortunately, it just happens sometimes. There's Letter to Follow, which has only been available on Patreon since I started writing it back in 2019/2020. It's my time traveling J2 fic. I remember writing for it during the very first few weeks of covid. I learned so much physics for that fic. But alas, I needed/wanted to move on so I left it where it is. I hope I can return to it one day.
What are your writing strengths?
Dialogue and setting the scene. :)
What are your writing weaknesses?
Plot. That goddamn plot. (And pacing at the end of a fic.)
Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
Love it. Love a challenge. Love how it works into the story.
First fandom you wrote for?
Harry Potter, back when I was 14 or 15 years old.
Favorite fic you've written?
Ahh how do I choose?! I can't. I have such a fondness for them all. <3

Thank you @suchagallabitch for tagging me to do this Fic Writer Interview!
(I also did some picrews at the bottom)
1. How many works do you have on Ao3?
34
2. What's your total Ao3 word count?
127,463
3. What are your top five fics by Kudos?
My top three are all three of the shameless fics that I have written, 4th and 5th are fics from another fandom.
4. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I try to! Sometimes there's only so many ways I can say 'thank you' to someone so I won't respond to every single one, but I definitely read all of them.
5. What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending?
I would say all three of my shameless fics have happy endings, allthough shut the door and let go is very bittersweet when you know what happens next in canon.
If we're talking non-shameless fics, I did write mcd in my other fandom (nothing too crazy) and you can find that fic here.
6. What's the fic you've written with the happiest ending?
When all is said and done definitely has the happiest ending if we're talking about the context of all three of these fics. Most of my other fics have pretty happy endings as well.
7. Do you write crossovers?
No. Not my thing.
8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?
Not necessarily hate, but I have received some weird comments in the past.
9. Do you ever write smut? If so, what kind?
Yep! I never used to so you won't find it in any of my old fics, but all three of my shameless fics have smut in them so.....character development. 😂
10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know of.
11. Have you ever had a fic translated?
No, but that would be cool!
12. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?
I've cowritten several fics with my girlfriend! My favourite of ours that we did is for the rest of our lives. Not a shameless fic, but I'm still proud of it.
13. What's your all time favourite ship?
I'm about to betray my branding here, but just because of how much time I spent in that fandom and how hard I was hyperfixating (and still am, let's be honest) it still has to be Dan and Phil.
If you have problems with that I don't want to hear it I've already heard it all and I'm tired okay thank you.
14. What's a WIP you want to finish but don't think you ever will?
I had planned out a whole chaptered fic to write and then completely fell off for months after getting overwhelmed. I still really love the idea but the task was a little too much for me and I just don't think I have chaptered-fic writing in me anymore.
15. What are your writing strengths?
I'm really good at coming up with different ideas. I also really love going into detail and trying to describe everything I see in my mind. I can see my fics play like movies in my brain, so sometimes it's a little overwhelming trying to get it all into words.
16. What are your writing weaknesses?
Transitions. The less a scene has going on in it, the harder it is to write. I also suck at time management, and consistency in general.
Cries in haven't posted since March.
17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?
It's cool. Haven't done it myself, wouldn't be opposed to it though.
18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?
It was very small and hasn't been relevant for years so I'm just gonna go with the first fandom I actually published anything for, which again, was Dan and Phil.
19. What's a fandom/ship you haven't written for yet but want to?
I breifly considered heartstopper (shortest hyperfixation of my life) but I'm kind of already over the obsessive stage. The fandom is fucking awful anyway.
I also considered arcane but I would have to go full on AU (which isn't a strength of mine) because I don't know nearly enough about that universe to write anything canon compliant. I also just didn't really get to the point of actually wanting to write something for it.
20. What's your favourite fic you've written?
Out of my shamless fics: lover, please stay
Out of my other fics: unequivocally yours
~~~
Tag 2: Thank you @grumpymickmilk and @vintagelacerosette for tagging me to do this picrew! I did this picrew as well even though I don't think anyone tagged me, I just really liked it.
I'm tagging @sunoficarus @gallawitchxx @heymrspatel @auds-and-evens @traenawrites @squidyyy23 and @sleepyfacetoughguy to do either the questions, the picrews or both!
#please keep in mind that there's over a year of a gap between my dnp fics and my shameless fics#I definitely improved as a writer 😂#also I'm serious don't give me shit if you don't like my previous fandom I Do Not Care#I just couldn't answer some of these questions without including older fics because I only have three shameless fics#I promise I'm trying to get back into it but it's just hard when I fall off for months at a time#har rambles#tagged#picrews

what is this?
五月 - May
𝐆𝐨! 𝐆𝐨! 𝐆𝐨𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐬𝐮 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 — (inspired after Go! Go! Gojou!) in celebration of this milestone this month of May, requests for the event are now open!
rules / notes
↬ Below are the listed characters that I will be writing for the event; (reminder that these are the only characters I'm currently used to. I have trouble writing for the ones that aren't in the list ^^)
Characters I accept ↴
✧ Haikyuu: Kuroo Tetsuro
✧ Jujutsu Kaisen: Ryomen Sukuna, Megumi Fushiguro, Inumaki Toge, Gojo Satoru, Geto Suguru, Toji Fushiguro, Nanami Kento, Okkotsu Yuta
✧ Yuukuko no Moriarty: Sebastian Moran
↬ For this event, I accept only; fluff, angst, hurt/comfort genres!(if ever I might add some suggestive ones, but not as far to nsfw) You may specify what kind of scene you would want to happen!
↬ Simply pick a number from the list below (maximum of 3 prompts) and 1 character of your choice.
↬ Important note: this is my very first event so I'm thinking ahead of the possible outcomes. One, is that there's a high chance I may be delayed in publishing the requests due to them being many or the usual, lack of inspiration and the right mind. Two, like anyone else, I have the right to decline a request if I cannot proceed to write or crank out an idea or generally having a hard time. I write for fun, not as an obligation. Please do not feel bad though! Your requests will serve as a suggestion that may still help me along the way ^^ please please do be patient with me as I will do my best to write for you guys. ♡
event status:
𝐂𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝!
chip chip! ˎ₍•ʚ•₎ˏ
❝coincidentally I started running this blog back in 2020 of May when I began writing once more. I didn't really think I'd make it this far despite the long hiatus run I've went through and the small amount of stories written. I've had fun sharing whatever I daydreamed every day, it makes my heart soar knowing someone finds comfort in between the words and enjoys them. It's been truly an honor writing for the enjoyment of others and to be able to have fun.
I wish to extend my appreciation and love all the way because these aren't enough to express how I feel right now. Thank you all so much for being so sweet and loving. Supporting and encouraging me all the way. Interacting with me even at the shortest time period. Every thing, I am thankful for. I hope to continue on writing and sharing my ideas for you all to find joy in and to meet more of you on this journey ♡ thank you for being one of my reasons to fall back in love of what I've lost before.❞

how did you start writing? like i have an idea for a fic and in my head it flows perfectly but when i sit down to type i forget every word i've ever known and also my fingers stop working
oh i honestly don't know how i got started because i've written stories since i learned how to write and then i got into reading fanfic so it was just a natural progression that didn't take much thought? but i'd say for someone that doesn't write otherwise to just write down what you're thinking when you're thinking it. like don't try to write a finished product, literally just what's in your head (try to go from the base idea to like, conversation or description whichever comes easier to you) and don't force yourself to write in a linear or chronological way. just write stuff down until you feel like you want to read it back to structure it or add details you didn't think of on your first go. but yeah honestly start small, write the shortest thing ever, post it. chances are it won't be that short anyway and you can just have fun with it and discover your own style 💖 fanfic is for fun so just do your own thing. hope this helps and have fun!!

As Brooke walked through the airport she was glad to finally be able to stretch her legs. She had never been that good at flying so now it was over at least she could take a breath and somewhat relax. To the world she looked like a confident twenty one year old exploring the world but inside she felt like the scared little eight year old she once was.
Finally after scanning the arrivals hall she saw a couple holding a sign with her name written on. It took her a second to start walking towards them but as she did she felt a sense of familiarity about them, like she had met them in a past life. Taking a deep breath she pushed the feelings aside, smiling at them as she walked closer.
“Brooke right?” The woman smiled softly at her.
“Yeah that’s me” Brooke nodded as the guy took her suitcase from her.
“I’m Chris and this is my wife Laura” he smiled.
They quickly sensed that Brooke wasn’t in the mood for talking as they walked through the airport.
The drive to her new home was quiet, which she was grateful for, all she wanted to do was eat and take a nap. It had been a long flight, but she had a feeling that she wouldn’t be able to get a nap for a while.
Looking out the window she watched the trees and scenery as she headed to her new home. Soon enough the car came to a stop at a large set of metal gates. This was it, this would be home for who knows how long. She watched as Chris spoke to the guys guarding the gate. Pulling her headphones out she paused her music to listen to what they were saying but it was all in whispers so she gave up. The sound of a familiar rumble in the distance caught her attention. She knew that sound anywhere. As they drove into the property Brooke was shocked this place was huge, there were bikes racing about and a lot of fit guys. Maybe this place wouldn’t be so bad after all.
Once the car was parked she climbed out of the car, stretching her back, feeling the soothing of her bones cracking.
“Come on, first stop is meeting the president” Chris said as he hauled her suitcases out of the car.
“Is this some kind of democracy? Like you have your own President” Brooke said raising her eyebrow. Where the hell as she.
“All will come clear” Chris laughed holding his lighter out to light Brooke’s cigarette as well as his own “I have a feeling you are going to fit in perfectly”
Soon enough they were standing in a room that looked like an office, Brooke looked around seeing all of the pictures lining the white walls. Wherever she was, it looked like a big family.
"Prez this is Brooke her family sent her to live with me and Laura" Chris said nodding at the blonde who smiled, awkwardly waving a small wave as two more guys appeared.
One of them definitely caught her attention, and she couldn’t help but smirk. His golden hair, bright blue eyes and bulging muscles covered in tattoos. He was definitely a god and definitely Brooke’s type. Maybe this wouldn’t be so bad living here with the eye candy she thought. Before mentaly scolding herself for practically drooling over the blonde god.
She was in a complete world of her own so she didn’t realise that the other guy was staring at her rather intently.
“Urm mate take a photo it lasts longer” she sassed “in fact scratch that I don’t know what the hell you would do with it.” All the guy could do was smirk which annoyed her.
“I mean the sass is there” he chuckled as he studied her face a bit harder. “Wait, it can’t be. Please tell me this isn’t a joke”
“Urm” Brooke said, extremely confused as everyone stared at her. To make matters more confusing everything and everyone seemed so familiar. Like she had been here before. There was something about this place that felt like home.
“Please tell me you actually brought her home” the dark haired guy said on the verge of tears.
"sorry don't know what you are on but I've never been here in my life" Brooke snapped as she fiddled with her lighter in her pocket.
“Yeah it’s definitely her Bro” Blonde god grinned.
“Can someone just tell me what the fuck is going on” Brooke huffed. She always hated being kept in the dark. Before she could process what was going on she the air was squeezed out of her in a bone crushing hug.
“I think you need to take a seat as we have some things to explain” Blonde god said, the power that radiated off him made Brooke want to submit to his every word. “Where have you been all this time?”
“Long story short, living in London, like causing trouble. Caused said trouble and my adopted parents sent me to live here and now I’m hella confused and I don’t like it” Brooke said as she played with her thumb ring, the one this she always did when she was nervous.
Around two hours had passed and Brooke learned that the dark haired guy was James, her older brother and blondie was Xavier. She was part of this family before she was kidnapped when she was around eight. Which tallied up with all her memories of the foster homes and that time she didn’t like to think about let alone mention. Every question or piece of information the boys have her made her head spin even more. She had so many questions but had no idea where to start. Whether it was from the confusion or lack of sleep she felt her eyes get heavy before everything went black.
The lads watched as Brooke’s knees gave way, without a second though Xavier was by her side wrapping his arms around her waist so she didn’t crash onto the floor. Adjusting his grip he laid her on the sofa that was in the office. He couldn’t take his eyes off her. The last time her saw her she was the shortest sassiest little eight year old known to man. He was honestly speechless as the woman laid in front of him.
“I can’t believe it’s her” he mumbled as he ran his hand through his hair. “I didn’t think we’d see her again” he took in her features but a couple of things caught his eye as her jacket slipped off her shoulder revealing some nasty scars, most of which looked like burns apart from the six inch scar that was definitely from a knife. Anger ran through his veins as his blood boiled, this was his bumble bee and he was ready to find the bastard that did this to her and make him pay for laying his hands on the girl.
“Xav” James called “now isn’t the time to be thinking about revenge okay, we need to take things slow this is a lot to take in”
“Yeah you are right” Xav sighed, pushing himself to his feet. Before walking out of the office, he needed some air.
“Xavier please tell me my eyes aren’t deceiving me and that was actually Brooke I saw go into your fathers office” hi mum smiled.
“Yeah mom it is” Xavier nodded.
“And you aren’t happy about that no?” She said softly knowing the internal battle her son was having.
“I couldn’t protect her mom” he sighed not making eye contact as his mind filled with the events of that day “that day was the worse day ever, I told her I wouldn’t let anything happen to her but I didn’t follow her and she’s been through god knows what”
It was Brooke’s eight birthday party, the compound was buzzing with excitement, as they were getting everything set up for the princess of the club.
Xavier barged into Brooke’s room to find her sitting on her bed colouring some unicorn.
"Bumble you wanna to come down to the pool with me and James" Xavier grinned watching her green eyes light up causing her to drop her crayon.
"get out of my room then you big oaf" she giggled trying to push him out of the room.
Xavier grinned even though he was 5 years older, everyone knew he would do anything for Brooke, their bond was like no other and she always went to him is she was upset or needed a cuddle after having a bad dream. Within five minutes he felt a small hand grab his before being pulled towards the pool.
“Last one there smells” Brooke shouted already running off, with her panda bear safely tucked under her arms, before reaching the edge of the pool, dropping the panda on the lounge chari and jumping into the water, not wasting any time.
The hours passed and the place was filled with giggles as the three of them messed about in the pool, until Brooke was growing tired and climbed out of the water.
"I'm going to go for a walk" she grinned pulling her dress over her wet bathing suit and grabbed her panda.the bear she took everywhere since Xavier won it at the fair for her last year.
"OK B stay where we can see you" James smiled as he tackled Xavier dunking him under the water.
After about 20 minutes that’s when there was an ear piercing scream that could be heard around the compound making everyone freeze. That was Brooke’s scream. The boys clambered out of the pool so fast running over to where the scream came from but they couldn’t see anything and were soon ordered by their fathers to go wait in the clubhouse.
Xavier sighed as the memory replaced in his mind.
“I should have followed her, I should have been there to protect her. I broke my promise to her” he said blinking back the tears that had formed.
"Hey you didn't know son" his dad said putting his hand on his son's shoulders.
"The thing is she doesn't even remember us, that’s what’s killing me more than anything, she doesn’t remember her family” Xavier snapped as the tears threatened to fall. "I'm going on a ride" He muttered leaving the room. He needed to clear my head, he was future president of the Blackstar Mc and he couldn’t let people see him like this. See him so weak.
One thing caught his eye as he stood on the main steps to the club house. A perfectly white kawasaki ninja pulled up the drive but he didn’t recognise the bike nor the number plate. He was so caught up over the bike he didn’t even realise that James was now by his side.
"Xav we need to talk" James said. Xavier knew what this was going to be about. "I'm talking to you as my best friend and not how a future vp would to his future prez right" he said running his hand through his hair.
"Ok bro fire away" Xavier nodded, sparking his smoke.
"I know how much you are tearing up right now, but we all are. We just found Brooke after so many years” James said “but I know that look Xav, that’s your I want this girl to be mine look”
“I can’t help it” Xavier sighed.
"I know bro, I know" James sighed "I just want to say I am fine with you being with her and couldn't think of a better person to be with her, but please protect her and don't freak her out because there are a lot of things we are going to have to explain to her." Xavier knew where James was coming from at the end of the day she was his blood.
