Girl help I really need to do the test tasks for a new job or else my life is gonna get very bad real soon, but all I want to do is draw ttrpg characters.
#majek says shit#ok so Im jobless since august but I had a safe amount saved to live a little too comfortably until about now#and now I have money left to live relatively normally until January and after that uhhhhh bad 0 money left#I got caught in a trap of “animators are always wanted in gamedev you'll find a job in 2 weeks” thing everyone seems to genuinely believe#turns out every studio on earth is looking for Seniors and Leads or 3D animators that turn out to be 3D generalists able to do everything#from concept to every kind of model optimised for games and texturing and rigging and mocap and keyframe stuff and vfx is also nice#and I'm like “hello am animator know how to make character move. i can give them skeleton but not necessarily if in 2D”#“have a few years of experience in gamedev but got fired just before the premiere of my one title that will list me as animator”#got fired along with many others because the publisher backed out and there was no money to keep most of the artists this close to launch#so far only two studios followed through with the recruitment. one makes casino games and asked me 3 questions through mail#they wanted to know why im looking for a job. have I heard about them before and how much I wanna earn. also added that my personality#should shine through my answers. sure xd. the other is a mocap studio and they want me to do a test. in software I last used 5 years ago#and its mocap which I dont like and know almost nothing about how to do it#and I WANNA DRAW. I made a disaster of a cleric to replace Cayden in the old party and Im itching to draw him properly#also there is secret satan and a whole queue of scenes from recent sessions#including the lase one when Cayden was possessed by an ancient wizard (?) for a few seconds and now has mild ptsd#there were such cool visuals there because he was connected to a tentacle that pierced the back of his neck and his eyes went black#and I had to fight the party from that moment. hit them once with a big fire damage spell and then passed a save. and then failed again#fortunately the party destroyed the artifact that did the posessing and it ended. but my boy simultaneously experienced some cosmic horror#beyond his comprehension. and kinda saw his own hands casting fire at his friends. all while he was fighting in his head with some tentacles#and being watched by first disembodied black eyes and then by a shadowy figure#now he has weird nightmares of more cosmic horror and gets uneasy if he looks at the night sky for too long ;o;#I also have a drawing of the party celebrating their promotion to captains and like 3-4 sketches and one other big scene#in which Cayden has a romantic tension moment with another character while casting prot from evil on them to save them from mind control#also I have a commission to finish that a friend paid for LAST NOVEMBER#but that mocap studio is waiting for this test for so long now I have to do it if its the last thing I do in my life

a/n: oh my god i saw this and knew i had to get cooking. i’m working on so many reqs rn be patient w me i beg !! sensitive stans dni i bite
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
at first, matt had begged you to come with him on tour, you two were together almost every day so it wouldn’t be all that different from your usual routine. however, as much as you would’ve loved to join him, you had to stay back home and tend to some important work matters. this meant having him away for almost a whole month.
not having your boyfriend around was painful to say the least. sure, you had work, family and friends to keep you busy, but nothing compared to having his presence right there next to you. of course, you texted every day at almost every hour, and you called each other every night to tell the other about your day and just hear each other’s voice.
on this specific night, matt asked you to call him a bit earlier than usual, which you didn’t mind at all. at the end of the day you got to hear your boyfriend’s voice, but it did seem a bit out of the ordinary.
“hi princess, nick and chris went to target to get some things we need, so i figured we could call a bit earlier.” matt spoke, his voice just as sweet as always, though you could sense a small smile in his voice. “tell me about your day, i wanna hear every detail.”
and that’s how an almost endless rant about your day started. you’d had an incredibly long day, you told him all about how you went to the bookstore in the morning and got some books that you’d been dying for, how you’d gotten some work done after that, then you told him about some meaningless argument you had with your mom.
“it was annoying, but– we’ll get over it.” you let out a soft sigh, laying back on your bed.
“i’m sure you will, baby.” matt’s voice seemed a bit deeper and breathier than usual.
his reply made your brows slightly furrow, normally he’d offer some sort of advice, try to comfort you or distract you but his reply was simply– underwhelming. he was never this quiet when it came to you. what on earth could he possibly be doing that made him go quiet— oh. as if on queue, to pull you out of your thoughts, you heard a shaky breath on the other line, followed by a slick and wet movement.
suddenly all the pieces started to click together in your head. was he jerking off? the thought of it made a small smirk appear on your face. you couldn’t believe him. he didn’t even have the decency to tell you so you could help him or join him? so that’s why he called you a bit earlier when his brothers were out, and that’s why he seemed so off throughout the call.
a part of you just wanted to go ahead and join him, tell him how much you’ve missed him over the past few weeks, how much you’ve been craving his fingers inside of you, or simply how much you’ve missed him inside of you. but the other part of you wanted to see how far he was willing to take this. it was funny enough that he didn’t realize you were already catching onto his situation, teasing him a little wouldn’t hurt.
“what should i do? i’m just, upset. you know?” your voice managed to sound the slightest bit sad, yet a smirk was displayed on your face.
“i– yeah, i mean–” he cut himself off before reconsidering continuing further with an act he knew he wasn’t going to be able to keep up with any longer. the slick sounds from the other line had picked up a quicker and swifter speed.
“hm?” you only let out a hum. knowing he was getting off to your voice was incredibly hot, but you wanted to see what would happen if you just– stopped talking. knowing you had full control over him without him even realizing it was simply arousing.
all that could be heard from the phone were soft grunts and heavy breaths, followed by some slick sounds which only made the smirk on your face grow slightly wider.
“fuck– princess, just do me a favor and keep talking for me, yeah? i promise i’ll make it up to you.” his voice was breathy, short pauses with shaky breaths between almost every word.
“care to tell me what’s going on?” you teased, letting out a soft giggle. you were just as turned on as he was, but you wanted to focus on your boyfriend’s pleasure first and foremost because of the short amount of time you had before his brothers came back.
“shit– just keep talking, pretty girl, i’m so close, please.” his breathing was shaky, you could hear the slick and wet sounds getting louder, picking up a quicker speed as a low grunt could be heard over the phone. “god, i miss you. i miss being inside of you.”
“and i miss having you here with me, i wish i could take care of you,” your voice was sweet, and your cheeks started to heat up with the tint of a soft pink color. “i miss you.”
your voice was needy and barely even audible, but those three words were all he needed to reach his release. the pace of the wet sounds managed to quicken even more before a soft “shit–” could be heard over the phone, followed by a slightly louder groan as the slick sounds began to cease.
“you’re the best, you know that?” his voice was almost a whisper. he was clearly tired out, his voice a bit deeper yet softer than usual.
“at least let me join next time,” you joked, playfully rolling your eyes as if he was right there next to you to see it. a small smile was still displayed across your face as you twirled a strand of hair around your finger.
“i will. i promise. next time will be all about you, princess.”

“Are you sure you want this?” you asked, stepping closer to the man before you, heels crunching the gravel beneath them.
The man nodded. 
“Use your words, darlin’.”
“Yes,” he replied. 
You grabbed his neck to pull him down to kiss you, but he shoved you back. “Whoa, whoa, whoa, wh— what are you doing?”
“What, you didn’t think we were just gonna shake on it, did you?” you grinned. 
“Oh,” the man replied. He hesitantly leaned back down toward you, and you tilted your chin up slightly to kiss him. 
When you pulled away, you wiped his spit off your lips— he’d been a horrible kisser— and turned away. “See you in ten years.” You closed your eyes and reopened them once inside your father’s mansion. 
The Louboutins he’d gotten you clicked across the marble floors leading down the hall to his office, and you wanted to be anywhere other than reporting to him. However, since Hell was in shambles, here was one of your only options. You knew you’d inevitably be taking a trip downstairs soon enough to speak to your accomplices. 
“Ah, (Y/N/N), welcome back,” your father said. “Business seems to be as usual.”
“Always,” you sighed. “Let’s skip the pleasantries, though. Given I’m doing your job for you, I don’t exactly have time to chat.”
“If you want to keep your position, I suggest you keep the attitude to a minimum,” your father argued, effectively silencing you. 
“Whatever,” you replied. “What do I have to do?”
“I need you to get the Winchesters here,” he stated simply. 
“What?!” you exclaimed. “What could you possibly want with those idiots?”
Your father took the Colt out of his desk and placed it in front of him. “They need this. I intend to give it to them.”
“And how does that help us?” you asked. 
He looked at you strangely, as if it was obvious. “They need it to kill Lucifer. We need them to kill Lucifer so he doesn’t kill us.”
“I mean, sure, but why are we relying on them to get the job done?” you scoffed. 
“They’ve got an angel on their shoulder. I’m sure they can handle it,” he responded. 
***
Hell was completely in chaos. There was no corner you could go to without bloodshed happening in front of you. Therefore, you and your allies decided to meet in the most inconspicuous of places: a coffee shop. In fact, it was one another one of your allies ran; it was covered in enochian symbols to keep angels from getting too close or hearing something they weren’t supposed to. 
“So, what is he just on vacation?” you asked, taking a sip of your latte. 
“Apparently, he’s got something set up in Carthage, Missouri,” your friend, Fallon replied. “Whatever it is has the reapers so excited they came running to me with information. I swear, they haven’t been this uppity since they dropped the atom bomb.”
“Oh, great,” you sighed. 
“Lucifer’s following is getting shaky, too,” your other friend, James, chimed in. “We’ve started spreading the word that he’s gonna kill us when he’s done with earth.”
“Wait, they didn’t know that before?” you questioned. 
“They seem to be on a need-to-know basis,” he shrugged. 
“Typical,” you snorted. “Any word on the Winchesters?”
Fallon smirked. “Word on the street is their little angel friend has been trailing you.”
“I thought so. He’s not exactly subtle,” you laughed. 
“Be careful tonight,” she warned. “They’ve got a little blonde friend who’s planning on showing up.”
“Great,” you rolled your eyes. “I’m sure the lumberjacks won’t be far behind.” A sigh tore through you. “I swear, if they fuck this up…” 
“I’m sure they will, (Y/N). They don’t exactly have a track record that suggests otherwise. Does Crowley have any sort of… insurance in place?” James questioned.
You bit the inside of your cheek. “It’s my father we’re talking about. I’m sure he does; probably involving a desert island and mai thais. And I’ve got some of my own.”
“What’s that smirk for?” he asked. 
“That angel fella. What’s his name?” 
“Castiel, I think,” Fallon answered. 
“Think he’s into demons?” you grinned broadly. 
“(Y/N), you’re fucking crazy,” she scoffed. 
You leaned back in your chair, feigning offense. “What? I can be very persuasive.”
“Yeah, I know, but… I mean, have you ever tried it out on an angel?” You shrugged. “Never had the opportunity.”
“That is a huge risk, though,” James pointed out. “You realize how sideways that could go?”
“Obviously. I’m bored, though. Business is slow, my dad’s a fucking idiot, and Lucifer’s gonna kill us all. Why not fuck an angel while I have the chance?” you replied. 
Fallon shook her head. “Good luck with that, lover. I’ll see you when I got something else you can use.” She headed to the back of the shop near the restrooms and disappeared under the cover of the shadows. 
James patted you on the shoulder to say goodbye. “Let me know when they’ve got the Colt. I’ll keep a tail on them when they do.”
“Thanks, love. See you around.” You walked out the front door of the café knowing the angel was near. You could almost feel the light emanating off him. 
You lead him to a clearing in the woods outside the small town you’d met your friends in. “I know you’re there, angel,” you almost spat out the words, but you tried to keep your voice sugary sweet. 
You heard a flutter of wings behind you. “Hello, (Y/N),” the angel’s deep voice rumbled. 
You turned to face the voice, and you couldn’t lie, he was incredibly attractive. “Y’know, if I wasn’t so disgusted by your existence, I’d find you pretty hot.”
“Is that supposed to be flattering?” Castiel asked, cutting his eyes at you and cocking his head to the side. 
You smirked. “You’re kinda funny for an angel.”
“I do not believe we have senses of humor,” he responded, seeming confused. 
Crossing your arms, you shook your head and rolled your eyes. “Why are you following me?”
“Crowley has something that belongs to the Winchesters,” Castiel replied. 
“And that concerns you, how?”
His expression remained deadpan. “I don’t have to answer to you.”
“Just making conversation,” you returned. “I’m assuming the cavemen in question are heading to my father’s house as we speak?”
Castiel nodded. 
“And I’m guessing they’re gonna try and kill him?” He nodded again. 
“I don’t think it’ll be in their best interest to do that,” you said evenly. 
“And why is that?” Castiel asked. 
“Because my father wants to help. And so do I,” you explained. 
Castiel furrowed his brows at you. “Why?” he grumbled. 
“Personally, I’m not interested in being turned into minced meat by the man in charge,” you snickered.
He seemed confused. 
“What, you didn’t know? Or is your face just… permanently ‘deer in headlights’?” you taunted, circling him. 
“Why would Lucifer kill his own kind?” the angel asked pointedly. He followed you with his gaze as you walked by turning his head.
“We’re not his own kind, genius. He’s a disgruntled frat boy with serious daddy issues, and we’re just the sorority girls he fucks over repeatedly trying to ignore his own problems,” you explained. 
“Lucifer knows he won’t win, correct?” 
You scoffed mockingly. “You wanna tell him? ‘Cause he firmly believes he shall inherit the earth.”
“I would rather not cross paths with Lucifer again. And I’d rather you change your tone when you speak to me,” he replied, his much taller frame intimidating you slightly. Still, you held your ground.
“Whaddya say we work together?” you asked, coming to a stop in front of him. “Y’know, you scratch my back, I scratch yours?”
“What could a demon possibly offer me?” he grumbled. 
“I can think of a few things,” you smirked. 
Castiel furrowed his brows once more, and you could see the smallest bit of lust in them. ‘Gotcha,’ you thought. 
“I know demons,” you explained. “I know how we work. I also know how to kill us. And Hellhounds adore me. I could be a valuable asset in the undoubtedly stupid plan you and the Winchesters are gonna go through with after tonight.”
He seemed hesitant, but you could tell you had him on the hook. 
“Whaddya say?”
***
Much to your surprise, Castiel had agreed to allow you to help them with their mission. However, the Winchesters clearly weren’t aware of that fact.
Your shoes clicked across the concrete as you headed toward the gates where the Winchesters and their friend Jo had just put down two of your father’s servants. 
“It’s a shame,” you said. “We just got the driveway pressure washed.” 
The two brothers were clearly surprised to see you, and the taller one squared his shoulders at you, holding out his knife. 
“Relax, would you?” you said evenly. “And put that thing away. Follow me.”
You turned on your heel and lead the duo into your father’s home. 
The heavy doors closed with a thunk behind the brothers, and you continued down the hall toward your father’s office. He’d apparently been expecting you, as he was sitting behind his desk with a cocktail in hand looking bored. You stood off to his side, leaning one arm on the back of his chair. 
“Wh— It’s Crowley, right?” Sam asked, trying to appear strong despite his clear disorientation. 
“So, the Hardy Boys finally found me. Took you long enough,” your father smirked. 
“I thought I told you to put that knife away,” you said, referencing the one in the taller man’s hand. 
Your father pulled the Colt out of his desk drawer and placed it down in front of him. “This is it, right? This is what it's all about.”
“What the hell is this?” Dean questioned gruffly. 
“Do you know how deep I could have buried this thing?” Your father waved his hand, and the doors behind the Winchesters slammed shut. “There's no reason you or anyone should know this even exists, except that I told you.” Sam scoffed. “You told us.”
“Rumors, innuendo, sent out on the grapevine,” he returned. 
“Why? Why tell us anything?” 
Your father picked up the gun and pointed it at Dean. “I want you to take this thing to Lucifer and empty it into his face.
“Uh-huh, okay,” Dean deadpanned, “and why exactly would you want the devil dead?”
“None of you are that quick on the draw, are you?” you snickered. 
Dean looked confused. 
“I’ve already had this conversation with your Heavenly lap dog. It’s about survival.” You stalked around the two boys, who were clearly a little intimidated by you. “Lucifer isn't a demon, remember? He's an angel. An angel famous for his hatred of humankind. To him, you're hideous, unwashed miscreants. If that's the way he feels about you, what do you think he thinks about us?”
“But he created you,” Sam noted. 
“Well, that’s a nice sentiment— parental love, and all that— but to him, we’re just servants; cannon fodder.” You came to a stop beside your father again. 
He spoke up to finish your explanation. “If Lucifer manages to exterminate humankind, we're next. So, help me out, huh? Let's all go back to simpler, better times, back to when we could all follow our natures. I'm in sales, dammit! So what do you say if I give you this thing, and you go kill the devil?” He held out the Colt, handle first, to Sam, who hesitantly stepped forward to take it. 
“Great,” Sam said, looking down at the gun in his hand. 
“Great,” Crowley nodded. 
“You wouldn't happen to know where the devil is, by chance, would you?” he asked. 
“He’s got an appointment in Carthage, Missouri on Thursday,” you explained. “I’d be more than happy to escort you.”
Dean laughed. “No offense, sweetheart, but I don’t think we’ll be needing any help from you.”
“Oh, you don't?” you scoffed, eyebrows raised. “Your friend Cas seems to think I could be useful. In fact, he’s already agreed to let me come.”
Dean shook his head. “No. No fuckin’ way. Why the hell would he tell you that?”
“Trust me,” you replied, “you two troglodytes are chum in the water for whatever Lucifer’s got camping out over there. You’re gonna want another great white on your team.”
“Oh, and, uh, excuse me for asking, but aren't you kind of signing your own death warrant? I mean, what happens to you if we go up against the devil and lose?” Dean questioned. 
“Number one, he's going to wipe us all out anyway. Two, after you leave here, I go on an extended vacation to all points nowhere. And three, how about you don't miss, okay! Morons!” your father roared, his gravelly voice thick. You tossed the bullets at Sam and Dean, giving them no time to recover before you disappeared. 
***
A flap of wings behind you told you that Castiel had actually shown up to your planned meeting. 
“I’m surprised to see you, darlin’,” you said, turning to face him. 
“You demons are so peculiar with your terms of endearment,” he replied, voice rumbling deep in his chest. “But yes, as much as I’m unhappy about it, I am here.”
“Your boys seemed a little off-put by you putting your faith in me,” you smirked. 
The angel became defensive. “I am not putting my faith in you. You are simply convenient.”
“Wow, you really know how to make a girl feel special,” you snickered. 
“This banter is exhausting, (Y/N). What is your plan?” he questioned.
“All business,” you sighed mockingly. “Well, I’m not gonna put myself in the Winchesters’ line of fire. Or yours, for that matter. What I will do is jump in to keep the other demons at bay and help you find Lucifer.”
Castiel nodded, his face as stoic as always. “I will be with the Winchesters. We will meet you in Carthage, and you need to help us get into the town. I am sure there will be demons guarding it.”
“Naturally,” you replied. “You realize this is a huge risk for me, right?” 
“I am aware. It’s a risk for me, too,” Castiel cut you off. 
“But you’re not going against your own kind. I could lose some serious street cred,” you said sincerely. 
“I did,” he said simply. 
You turned back to him. “But the angels didn’t kill you when you did. You just got sent away. I’d be tortured. Forever, potentially.”
“No one is forcing you to help us, (Y/N),” Castiel replied dryly. However, he did seem to feel slight sympathy for you. That was overshadowed, though, by his disdainful stare.
“My father is,” you said.
“Crowley?” 
“The one and only,” you snickered. “If I had it my way, I would’ve fucked off to somewhere in the mountains and raised a couple goats when Hell went to… well, hell.”
“Why didn’t you?” Castiel asked pointedly. 
“What difference does it make why I didn’t?” you snapped. “My point in bringing that up is to tell you not to pretend we’re the same in this situation. I have a lot more riding on the line than you do. You may wanna start being a little less of a dick to me.”
“Are you, a demon, sincerely going to call me out on an attitude problem?” Castiel grunted. 
“Yes,” you replied. “If I’m telling you your attitude sucks, then it must really fucking suck. Just… don’t treat me like the scum of the earth, okay? I didn’t ask to be a demon.”
“Well, you must have done something to get yourself sent to Hell to become one,” the angel responded. 
“I didn’t, actually,” you stated. “My mother was a human. She got pregnant with me, and I became my father’s right hand man when she died.”
“You’re a natural-born demon?”
“Are you dense?” you scoffed. “That’s what I just told you.”
“I’ve never heard of one before,” he said, ignoring your flippance.
“I’m the first. Which, again, adds to the danger. I’m the demon-equivalent of a nephilim, and everybody wants me. That’s not me being cocky,” you explained, “that’s just me stating the facts. Everyone jockeying for power down in Hell wants me on their team. And I stayed loyal to my father. Which has made quite a few demons wanna put my head on a pike on their front lawns.”
“If you have all these powers, why haven’t you used them on me yet?” he questioned. 
“You’ve got a pretty face,” you said coolly. “I’d hate to make a mess of it.”
***
The next day, you waited near the outskirts of the town for the 1967 Impala and the band of misfits that would be accompanying it. 
“Hey there, (Y/N),” a voice said behind you. 
“Jesus, James!” you squeaked. You turned and shoved his shoulder. “You scared the fuck out of me. What are you doing here?”
He didn’t seem as happy to see you as he usually was. “I wish you wouldn’t’ve come,” he told you. 
Your expression hardened. “Why…?”
“This isn’t gonna end well. For anyone,” he replied, equally as cryptically.
“Stop talkin’ like Shakespeare. Spit it out,” you snarled, getting angry. 
“Meg’s here. With the Hellhounds. This isn’t gonna end well if you help them,” James explained. 
“What the fuck, did you help her, or something?” you asked. 
“No, but your dad’s got me directly in cahoots with her. I’m gonna have to duke it out with you since you’re here,” he replied. 
You nodded, understanding why he was behaving so strangely. “We’re not leaving here till one of us his dead, huh?”
James nodded. You knew you couldn’t hug him since you were likely being watched by some of Lucifer’s followers, but you gave him an empathetic look knowing he didn’t stand a chance against you. 
“Don’t go easy on me, love,” you told him. 
“Ditto,” he replied, a smirk tugging at the ends of his lips. 
He rushed you, and you dodged him easily. The two of you sparred for a few minutes as your thoughts spiraled downward. James had been your friend for centuries, and he was one of your father’s most devoted followers. He was a low-level crossroads demon, and his powers were nothing against yours. With your telekinesis and ability to manipulate light and energy, he could’ve been on the ground within ten seconds. 
“This is definitely a hell of a way to go,” James grunted as you threw him back to the ground. 
You panted, “It’ll give you a cool story to tell in… whatever’s after this.”
Your friend seemed to get sad at that. “I’m not sure there is anything after this.”
“Well, I’ll see you when I see you, J,” you said, tears rimming your eyes. 
“Don’t cry for me. I’d rather you than Lucifer,” he assured you, letting you shove him to the ground one last time. 
Your lip trembled as you held your hand up at him, and he closed his eyes in preparation for the blow. The most merciful way you could think to kill him was with a blinding light emanating from your hand that immediately disintegrated his essence. Tears finally fell from your eyes when the light dissipated, and you could see your friend’s limp body lying on the ground. 
Collapsing to your knees, you held James's cold hand.
A voice came from behind you. “Who is he to you?”
‘Castiel,’ you realized. “My best friend,” you sniffled. “He was, uh, my guy on the inside.” You stood from the ground but refused to face him. 
“I’ve never known a demon to cry before,” Castiel said, his voice sounding genuinely curious and sincere. 
You sniffed again. “I told you. I’m half-human. I can feel differently than other demons. Where are the others?”
“We passed you when you were fighting with your friend,” the angel explained. “We should go talk to the reapers. They’ll know where to find Lucifer and give us some information as to what’s going on.”
“You do that,” you replied, facing him once you collected yourself. “I gotta go check on something.”
He looked at you curiously, but said nothing before you disappeared. 
“Come on, boys. My Father wants to see you,” you heard Meg saying as you approached. 
“I think we'll pass, thanks,” Sam replied. 
“Your call. You can make this easy, or you can make it really, really hard,” she cooed dangerously. Meg had always been a true pain in your ass. 
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out. You heard a Hellhound whine as you rounded the corner onto the street where the Winchesters were facing off with Meg.
“Run!” someone screamed. 
You saw the hounds heading after the hunters, and one of them pulled Dean to the ground. He screamed in agony as it slashed at his leg. 
“Dean!” the blonde from your father’s mansion cried. 
“Jo, stay back!” he told her. 
Suddenly, a sharp whistle broke through the air. You’d learned at a young age to communicate with Hellhounds, and your whistles could almost hypnotize them. Being a crossroads demon certainly meant having a strong relationship with the creatures, too. 
Everyone’s heads turned to you, including those of the hounds. You walked forward calmly and called the dogs to your sides. 
“Run,” you ordered the hunters. 
They all listened gladly and sprinted away as Meg lunged at you. You couldn’t simultaneously control Meg’s hounds and fight her, and the hounds went back to their original mission. You threw Meg against the wall of a shop, and she retaliated by causing a telephone pole to nearly fall on you. There was never a window of opportunity wide enough to enable you to summon energy to smite her with the many telekinetic bl0ws she threw at you. You continued to grow angrier and angrier as time went on, and the two of you continued to fight, and Meg had apparently grown tired of your battle. She disappeared from view, and you panted laboriously when she’d gone. 
You turned to the shop the Hellhounds were lunging at the doors of. 
As much as you weren’t thrilled about helping people that were unkind to you— namely, Dean— you called the dogs off. The Hellhounds were always terrifyingly beautiful creatures, in your opinion. 
Their ears perked up at your whistles, and you called them to your side. 
“Hi, boys,” you said, stooping down to them. You pet one’s fur, and he nuzzled into your hand. You walked over to the splintered telephone pole Meg had brought down on you with the dogs hot on your heels and broke off a large piece of it. Throwing as hard as you could, you sent the dogs after their new chew toy. 
Dusting your hands off, you made your way over to the shop the hounds had been chomping at the bit to get in. When you threw the doors open with your powers, you were met with guns and angry voices. 
“Whoa, whoa!” you snickered, holding your hands up in surrender. “I come in peace.”
Dean and Sam reluctantly lowered their guns but didn’t seem pleased to see you. 
“I just saved you from those mutts. Maybe a little appreciation would do?” you smirked. 
“This is not the time for you to be a smart ass,” Dean grunted. He tossed a look over at the blonde woman on the floor bleeding profusely from her side. There was no doubt in your mind that she’d been attacked by a hound. 
“Can you… help her?” Sam asked. 
You shook your head. “No can do. I’m a demon. None of the powers we were gifted can exactly be used for truly benevolent reasons.”
“Great!” Dean threw his hands up sarcastically and ran them over his hair, pacing back and forth. “Alright, we gotta get them the hell outta town.” He was referencing the two women on the floor. The older one muttered encouraging words to whom you assumed was her daughter, and you looked on sadly. 
“Won't be easy,” Sam noted.
“Stretcher?”
“I’ll see what we got.” The younger brother started off, but the blonde stopped him. 
“Can we, uh, be realistic about this, please?” she said through labored breaths. “Ah—! I can't move my legs. I can't be moved. My guts are being held in by an ace bandage. We gotta—we gotta get our priorities straight here.” She tried to offer a sad smile. “Number one, I'm not going anywhere.”
“Joanna Beth, you stop talking like that,” her mother told her. 
The blonde turned her head toward the woman weakly. “Mom, I can’t fight. I can’t walk. I can’t move. This is it for me.”
“There is… something I can do,” you said. 
All of their heads turned to you, but Dean seemed to catch on to what you were implying faster than the rest of them did. 
“No. No way in hell, bitch,” he asserted. 
“Okay, first of all, watch how you speak to me.” You flashed your eyes red to get the point across, which Dean seemed to be slightly afraid of. “Second, do you have any other plan? You heard what she said. Your angel friend is locked up with Lucifer god knows where, and I can’t heal her. What I can do is put her out of her misery, and we can get out of here before those hounds get bored of their new chew toy.”
The blonde’s mother was horrified. “No! I— I won’t let you.”
“Mom, please,” the girl on the floor begged weakly. 
“No!” her mother argued, tears streaming down her face. 
“Look, these guys need to move on. I’ll only slow ‘em down, and you know they won’t leave here without me,” she continued. 
“No, no! That’s not—”
The blonde cut her mother off. “Mom, this might literally be your last chance to treat me like an adult. Might wanna take it?” She smiled sadly up at her. 
Her mom held her close, sobbing. 
“I’ll give you some time to say your goodbyes,” you said, turning away. You waited by the shop doors looking for unexpected visitors or for the Hellhounds to come back. You watched the sun set while Sam, Dean, and the girl’s mother all exchanged their final words. 
When you turned back, the blonde’s mother was on the floor with her. 
“All of you need to leave. Any one of you in this room with me will die if you don’t,” you urged, looking at the girl’s mother. 
“I will not leave you here alone,” the woman told her daughter. 
“Mom, no,” the girl cried. 
You remained stoic despite the pangs going through your chest. “Are you sure?” you asked her. 
She nodded at you and smiled at her daughter. “Just make it quick. For both of us.”
You nodded and turned to the Winchesters. “Get outta here.” 
Both men looked like they wanted to protest, but they decided against it. As soon as you were sure the two boys were out of danger, you raised your hand toward them. 
“Goodnight, guys,” you told them. 
The woman smiled at you and closed her eyes, leaning into her daughter and kissing her hair. “I will always love you, baby,” she told her.
Energy surged from the world around you into your extended hand producing a blinding white light that engulfed the room. When the light dissipated, both women were gone. “Good luck to you both,” you told them. The afterlife was no party; that was for certain. 
You walked out of the shop and down the street where the boys were waiting for you. “C’mon,” you urged them. “I’ll get you guys as close as I can, and then, I’ll go find Cas.”
Sam nodded, but Dean’s mind seemed elsewhere. Still, the two followed you down the street. 
You could feel the light radiating from Castiel and followed the feeling to a farmhouse at the edge of town. It was a peculiar feeling, though; most angels didn’t feel warm when you were near them. Their energy had always felt cold and unforgiving, even more so than demons. 
You pulled the boys down into a bush with you, and the three of you peeked over the tops of the leaves. Dozens of men stood in the field, attention on something you couldn’t see through the darkness. 
“Demons,” you whispered. “He’s here.”
You could feel Lucifer’s horrible presence. His presence felt like Hellfire scorching your skin the closer you got to him. 
“Don’t miss,” you told Dean, referencing the Colt he was brandishing. He nodded at you, and you made your way around the field and into the farmhouse where Castiel’s energy emanated from. 
Something else was here, too, though. You had to guess it was Meg; she’d always had a particularly close relationship with Lucifer. What sounded like flames crackled from upstairs, and you figured they had Castiel trapped in a ring of holy fire. 
You crept up the stairs, praying Meg couldn’t hear your footsteps over the roaring fire. 
“You seem pleased,” you heard Castiel say. 
“We're gonna win,” Meg gloated. “Can you feel it? You cloud-hopping pansies lost the whole damn universe. Lucifer's gonna take over Heaven. We're going to Heaven, Clarence.”
“Strange, because I heard a different theory from a demon named (Y/N),” Castiel said. 
Meg scoffed. “You don’t know (Y/N). Or Crowley.”
“They believe Lucifer is just using demons to achieve an end, and that, once he does, he’ll destroy you all,” Castiel continued. 
“You're wrong. Lucifer is the father of our race. Our creator. Your god may be a deadbeat. Mine? Mine walks the earth.”
You used your powers to break a pipe off the wall and slammed the back of Meg’s head with it. She fell forward into the fire, and you held her screaming, writhing form down for Castiel to walk over. 
Once he was free, you shoved Meg fully into the circle to trap her there. 
“Hello, (Y/N),” the angel told you. 
For the first time since you’d met him, you cracked a genuine smile. “Hello, Castiel.” Remembering your mission, your disposition became serious once more. “C’mon, we gotta get the boys. Something’s wrong.”
You and Castiel teleported to where the Winchesters were being held captive by Lucifer near the mass grave he’d created, and the angel held a finger to his lips to silence them. You let Castiel steer you where he needed your power to transport the boys. Once the Winchesters were delivered back to their friend Bobby’s house safely, you and Castiel regrouped in a clearing in the woods nearby. 
“I can’t fuckin’ believe the Colt didn’t work,” you grumbled, running your hands through your hair in frustration. “Of course he’s one of the only five beings in the universe that thing doesn’t work on. Did you know?” You wheeled around to face Castiel. 
He shook his head. “I wish I had. It could’ve saved Ellen’s and Jo’s lives.”
You looked up at the stars; unobstructed by city lights or trees blocking your view as a heavy silence settled over you and the angel. “What’s Heaven like, Cas?” you asked. 
“What?” he questioned. 
“What’s it like?” You turned to face him, pulling your attention from the stars above. 
“It’s… nice, I think,” he said plainly. 
You snorted. “ ‘Nice’? That’s all I get?”
“Why do you want to know?” Castiel asked, furrowing his brow at you. 
“I wanna know if I sent that mom and her daughter to a good place,” you answered. 
The angel seemed to marinate on that information for a moment, and you could see empathy flash across his face. “It is different for each person. Everyone has their own personal definition of ‘Heaven,’ and that is what awaits them at the end of their lives.”
“Did you like it up there?” you asked, turning your attention back to the stars. 
“I didn’t like anything before I came to Earth,” Castiel replied. 
You tilted your head to the side and faced him again. “Really?”
He nodded. The starlight caught his eyes, and your gaze softened, righting your head. “What is it?” he asked. 
“Your eyes are really blue,” you told him. 
He looked confused. 
“They’re pretty,” you said. 
Those blue eyes searched your face. “I think the correct response to that is ‘thank you’,” he replied. 
You nodded, cracking a small smile and looking away from his intense gaze. “You’re welcome. Lucifer tell you anything worth noting?”
“No,” he answered, starting to walk around you. “I did find a particular distaste for car rides, though.”
You laughed, circling him just the same. “They’re the worst.”
Then, he abruptly stopped. “Why are you being so kind?”
You stopped, too, confused by his question. “What?”
“I mean, you’re a demon. It seemed you hated me when we first spoke,” Castiel explained. “It seemed your motivations were purely self-serving; like your father’s. And yet, you showed concern for Ellen and Jo. You saved Sam and Dean from the Hellhounds. You saved me. Why?”
You looked to the ground. “I don’t know,” you answered honestly. “The… human side of me always confuses the fuck outta me. I do my job, I play the part, but I… love humanity. Sure, they’re horrible to each other sometimes, but so are demons. Their full range of emotion is so complex. I just— they fascinate me. And sometimes, I wish I had a life as little as theirs.”
When you looked back at Castiel, he was staring down at you with such intensity it felt like he was staring straight into your soul. 
“Don’t look at me like that,” you told him. 
“Why?” Castiel asked, his expression unmoving.
“Because I don’t know what it means.” 
He stepped closer to you, and your breath quickened. The angel slid his hand along your jaw and tilted your face up to his, kissing you with a fever. He grabbed desperately at you, and you, at him. When he broke away, you were dumbfounded. 
“I learned that from the pizza man,” he told you. 
You didn’t quite understand what that meant, but you laughed all the same. 
***
The next time you saw Castiel, he informed you there was an angel he needed help handling. 
“So, what’s your deal with this chick?” you asked him. 
“Heaven had her imprisoned, and I heard the angels talking about how she’s free,” Castiel replied. 
“Is she a major player?”
He gave you a strange look. 
“Is she a big deal,” you clarified. 
‘The only way she got out was if someone let her out. So, yes, she’s becoming one,” the angel nodded. 
“And why do you need me?” you asked. “Seems like a family dispute to me.”
“Because you’re stronger than I am. And you’ve proven you’re trustworthy.” Castiel grabbed your hand to bring you along to wherever he’d determined Anna was. 
Unfortunately for you, he was right. You were trustworthy. As much as you started hanging around him for "insurance," he was becoming a true ally you couldn't double-cross.
“Hello?” the woman called into the darkness. “Who’s there?”
You stepped out into the flickering light. “Hi there.”
She jumped back in surprise. “Who are you?!”
Castiel stepped out from behind you. “Hello, Anna.”
Anna turned to face him. “Well, if I didn't know any better, I'd say the Winchesters don't trust me.”
“They do. I don't. I wouldn't let them come,” Castiel replied, beginning to circle her. 
You followed suit, walking in the opposite direction. 
“And why is that?” she questioned, continuing to face Castiel. 
“If you're out of prison, it's because they let you out. And they sent you here to do their dirty work,” he responded. 
She folded her arms across her chest. “And what makes you so sure?”
“Because I've experienced…” the angel trailed off, searching for the words, “heaven's persuasion.”
“You mean when you gave me to them,” Anna clarified. 
Castiel sighed. “That was a mistake. Anna, whatever they sent you here to do—”
She cut him off. “They didn't send me. I escaped.”
“Darlin’,” you chimed in, “Heaven’s the supermax prison to end all supermaxes. Seriously, how’d you get out?” While she was distracted trying to answer your question and keep her focus between both you and Castiel, you used your powers to draw the knife she was hiding in her jacket and pull it around the back of her body to keep her from noticing it was missing. 
“Castiel can tell you,” Anna replied evenly, “I’m not one to underestimate.”
You hummed. “So, if you’re not on team ‘god’—” you used air-quotes mockingly— “then what do you want?”
“I want to help.”
Castiel scoffed. “You want to help?”
“Yes,” she nodded. 
“Then what are you doing with this knife?” You came to a stop in front of Anna, dangling it with a mocking pout on your face. 
She seemed startled that you’d noticed it. “I'm not allowed to defend myself?”
“Against whom?” Castiel pressed. “That blade doesn't work against angels. It's not like this one.” He drew his own long blade that came to a pointed tip. “Maybe you're not working for Heaven, but there's something you're not telling us.”
Anna took in a shuddering breath. “Sam Winchester has to die. I'm sorry but we have no choice. He's Lucifer's vessel.”
You laughed. “He’s not the only one, doll.”
“What, that guy Nick?” she scoffed. “He's burning away as we speak. No. Sam is the only vessel that matters. You know what that means? If Lucifer can't take Sam, his whole plan short-circuits. No fight with Michael, no Croatoan virus. The Horsemen go back to their day jobs.”
“Even if you could…” Castiel trailed off, “kill Sam, Satan would just bring him back to life.”
“Not after I scatter his cells across the universe,” Anna stated almost immediately. “They'll never find him. Not all of him.”
You waited for Castiel to answer. 
“We'll find another way,” was all he could manage to say. 
“How's that going?” the redhead pressed. “How's the Colt working out? Or the search for God? Is anything working? If you want to stop the devil, this is how.”
“The answer's still no, because Sam is my friend,” Castiel said plainly. 
She seemed taken aback. “You've changed.”
“Maybe too late, but I have.”
You tsked. “You’re breakin’ my heart, Cas.”
Your friend ignored you. “Anna, we've been through much together, but you come near Sam Winchester, and I'll kill you.” 
The woman’s eyes widened a moment before she decided it best for her to disappear. 
“Well, that’s fuckin’ great,” you commented, slightly exasperated. “I’ll get my friends on the lookout for the bitch. If she even sniffs close to Sam, I’m on it.”
“What is he to you?” Castiel asked. “Given your motivations, I’d think you’d agree with her.”
You turned to face him. “Well, things change. And if this kid is important to you, then he’s important to me.”
***
After thoroughly briefing your allies and your father, you ventured to the Winchesters’ motel room. You scrunched your nose up at the foul scent of molding carpet. “Ugh, you guys live like this?” you snarked, looking around in disgust. 
“And what the fuck are you doing here?” Dean questioned. 
“Dean,” Castiel warned, “I asked her to come.”
The older brother scoffed. “You did? Why?”
“I’ll need her help in case things go wrong.”
“What are you talking about?” you asked. “I thought you just needed me for the summoning ritual.” 
“Well, I thought that was all I needed you for, too,” the angel sighed. “That was until I found out she’s in 1978.”
“Why would she be in 1978?” you asked. 
“Yeah,” Sam replied, “I wasn't even born yet.”
“You won’t be if she kills your parents,” Castiel stated. “Anna can't get to you because of me. So she's going after them.”
“Take us back right now,” Dean ordered, bracing himself. 
You scoffed. “And deliver you right to Anna? We should go alone.”
“No, no, no, sister,” the older brother argued. “I don’t trust you with my parents or Cas alone.”
“Why not?” you fired back. “It’s not like I saved you. Twice.”
Dean shook his head. “No. No way. They’re our parents. We’re going. Little help here, Cas?”
“It's not that easy,” the angel said calmly. 
Sam jumped in, saying, “Why not?”
“Time travel was difficult even with the powers of Heaven at my disposal.”
“Which got cut off,” finished Sam. 
“Which is why we need her,” Castiel nodded to you. 
You sighed heavily. “I don’t know, Cas.”
“Oh, since when are you two on a nickname basis?” Dean gestured between the two of you. “And, what, you’re like a Delorean without enough plutonium?” 
“I don't understand that reference,” the angel said dryly. “But I'm telling you, taking this trip, with passengers, no less—” he shook his head, “it'll weaken me.”
Dean walked up to Castiel trying to get him to meet his eyes. “They're our mom and dad. If we can save them, and not just from Anna. I mean, if we can set things right, we have to try.”
Castiel shook his head, but then, started to busy himself packing up a duffel bag with holy oil, his angel blade, and other angelic knick-knacks. 
“Ready?” he asked when he was finished packing.
You nodded, grabbing both his and Sam’s wrists. 
“Whoa, whoa, what? Is she coming?” Dean protested. 
“Uh, yeah,” Sam snorted. “She helped us out a lot, Dean. And Cas needs the… juice, or whatever.”
Dean rolled his eyes. “Sorry, I’m not crazy about having a demon near our parents.”
“Well, get on board,” you said dryly. "Let’s get this over with.”
When you opened your eyes again, you turned to see Castiel collapsed next to you and bleeding from his nose. 
“Cas?” you asked worriedly, bending down beside him. 
Sam and Dean made their way over to you. The younger asked, “Did we make it?”
Dean pointed to the car driving down the street. “Unless they're bringing Pintos back into production, I, uh, I'd say, ‘yes’.” 
“Uh, guys? Little help, here?” you remarked, gesturing to the collapsed angel beside you. 
“I'm fine,” Castiel assured you. “I'm much better than I expected.”
You tried to help him up, but he ended up spitting blood and passing out. 
“Great,” you huffed. “C’mon, help me get ‘im in a motel somewhere.”
***
With Castiel comfortably tucked in the bed of the honeymoon suite, you bid the boys goodbye and good luck on their mission. 
“Wait, you’re not coming with us?” Dean asked pointedly. 
“I think you kids can handle yourselves,” you replied. “I need to make sure he doesn’t die.” You gestured to the unconscious man behind you. 
“Sure, sure,” Dean sarcastically said. “And I’m just supposed to trust that you’re not stabbing us in the back, here?”
“Look, if it wasn’t for me, you’d be dead. And without my help getting here, so would he.” You nodded your head toward Castiel. “So lay off me, would ya? And tell that angel bitch to suck my dick.”
Dean tried to resist laughing at your comment and covered it up with an uncomfortable cough. “Fine. If we get stuck here, though, know I’m killing you first.”
“Deal.”
Dean and Sam left with Castiel’s duffel bag, leaving you to take care of him. This was a first for you. You’d never nursed anyone back to health; let alone an angel. 
You sat next to him and gently smoothed your hand over his delightfully fluffy hair. Castiel stirred, the ends of his lips pulling into a smile, but he didn’t wake. You repeated the action, which seemed to soothe him, and eventually, his arms wound around your waist. He buried his face in the hinge of your hip, and you froze in shock. Unsure of what to do, you just continued to play with his hair while he slept. 
***
Castiel slept almost completely through the first day. Despite going stir crazy with no one and nothing to entertain you, the thought of leaving never crossed your mind. 
You sat across the room from him, simply staring at him and memorizing his features. He was frustratingly beautiful. Something about him had you captivated, and you weren’t sure you enjoyed the feeling. 
Every once in a while, Castiel would shift in his sleep. Each time he did, you got excited; hoping he’d wake up. When you realized he was still soundly asleep, you mentally scolded yourself for allowing yourself to become at all invested in the well-being of the angel. 
When he did wake up, he groaned. 
“It lives,” you snickered, your sock-covered feet kicked up on the desk and arms folded across your chest. 
“Good morning,” Castiel’s deep voice rumbled. 
“It’s three in the afternoon, dude.”
He perked his head up, his hair messy. “Oh. Really?”
You nodded, smirking. “Sit up. I gotta show you something.”
Castiel seemed confused. 
“Again with that deer-in-headlights stare,” you sighed sarcastically. “You said you didn’t get Dean’s Back to the Future reference. Now, I’m making you watch the movie.”
The two of you sat beside each other with your arms crossed over your chests and legs outstretched in front of you. Your backs were against the situationally-dissonant heart-shaped headboard, adding an extra layer of school-girlish, giddy discomfort. 
This feeling was entirely foreign to you. He was such a warm light that it almost felt as though the side of you closest to him was burning. The most startling part of it all, though, was you felt awkward. You never felt awkward or unsure. And yet, the angel beside you had you questioning every slight move you made. 
His eyes were firmly glued to the television, and you found his endless curiosity adorable. “He’s aware that she’s his mom, right?” Castiel asked you. 
You laughed, throwing your head back against the headboard. “Yeah, he is. This movie’s weird. Cult classic.”
“We shouldn’t be watching this, then,” he said plainly, looking for the remote.
“What, why?” You held the remote out of his grasp. 
“Because cults are bad, (Y/N),” he replied. 
You shook your head, still smiling widely. “Not a real one, Cas. It’s just an expression. I think it means something like it’s critically a bad movie, but a lot of people really like it.”
“This nomenclature is awfully confusing,” he said, sounding slightly disheartened. 
You giggled. You giggled. You surprised yourself with the laugh that escaped you. Never in your hundreds of years of existence had you giggled at anything; much less an angel. 
“You are fascinating, did you know that?” Castiel asked you, searching your face. 
You tilted your head to the side. “I— I am?” ‘Oh, great. Now, I’m fucking stuttering,’ you thought. 
He nodded, leaning his head toward yours slowly. You allowed his lips to meet yours, and you kissed him back with a fever. His hands pushed you down onto the bed, and yours wound themselves in his hair. He held himself up with one arm and rubbed circles on your stomach with the other. 
When he pulled back from you, you were completely flustered. 
A smile spread across his face. A wide, genuine smile; one that you mirrored. You pulled him back down to you with your hands on either side of his face and rolled yourself on top of him. 
***
The last few days with Castiel had been wonderful. You were incredibly grateful he’d asked for your help with getting back to 1978, and even more grateful that you met him. 
On the fifth day of being in 1978, Castiel’s disposition changed. 
“What is it?” you asked. 
“Something’s wrong,” he replied. “I feel… my brother’s here.”
“Uh, which one?” you questioned, popping up from the bed in worry. 
“Michael.”
“Fuck, dude, we gotta get outta here, then,” you said. You moved to grab his wrist. 
“Wait!” Cas urged. “I don’t— I don’t think I’m strong enough to do this, (Y/N).”
“Yes, you can. You have to. C’mon. I’ll help, okay?” you pleaded, holding both his hands. 
He nodded trepidatiously but allowed you to begin getting you both back to the future. 
***
You and Castiel appeared just behind Sam, and he caught sight of your reflection. 
“(Y/N)? Castiel?” he breathed out. 
You helped a stumbling Cas over to the bed in the room. 
“You son of a bitch. You made it,” Dean chuckled, wrapping Cas’s free arm around his neck. 
“I— I did? I'm very surprised,” Cas grumbled earnestly before collapsing on the bed in front of you. 
“Well, I could use that drink now,” Dean told his brother. He quickly fixed one for each of you, much to your surprise. You were a bit taken aback when he held one out to you. 
“Really?” you asked him, hesitantly taking it. “You didn’t… poison it or anything, right?”
He chuckled. “No.” He raised his own cup to his lips. “Well, this is it.”
Sam’s eyes flicked to yours, confused. “This is what?”
“Team Free Will. One ex-blood junkie, one dropout with six bucks to his name, a literal demon, and Mr. Comatose over there. It's awesome,” the older brother remarked. 
“It’s not funny,” Sam said.
“I’m not laughing,” the other man replied. 
“They all say we'll say yes.”
“The angels?” you asked. 
Sam nodded solemnly. 
“It’s getting annoying,” Dean grumbled, taking another swig of his drink. 
“What if they’re right?” Sam worried aloud. 
You shook your head. “They’re not.”
Both men turned to you. 
You shrugged, a deadpan expression on your face. “If Mr. Comatose can genuinely crack a smile, then anything’s possible.”
Both brothers looked confused, but you just snickered to yourself and downed the rest of your drink.

Premise: Days in the life of the Shinazugawa household, based on my previous story (link here).
Word Count: 3263
Note: This was requested by the lovely @yourlocalangie, “little family moments in the shinazugawa household with the reader and their children.” 🫶🏻
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
A typical day in the Shinazugawa household started very early in the morning. Even before the sun got a chance to go out, Sanemi, his wife and the children would be on their way down the mountain with a cart full of goodies.
Over the years the farm had grown quite a bit.
Mia and her husband had babies and now your chicken coop is full to the brim with lovely birds and delicious eggs for your family and the towns people.
The milk from your farm was considered the hottest item in the market, getting a consistent queue of customers since very early in the morning, creating a high demand.
After an intense morning of sales, the Shinazugawa family heads back to their farm for a well deserved home cooked meal.
The afternoons were particularly busy, since they would all go to the market together, the rest of the work had to be done after lunch.
"Sanehiko, you're on milk duty, make sure they at least fill two of the big jugs."
"On it father." Sanehiko, the eldest of the lot was the most invested in the family business. He learned from his mother from a very young age how to tend the animals and get the milk from the cows, being the best at it in the family. He thoroughly enjoys working on the fields as well, always looking for a way to help with the crops and making sure everything was in order, out of all of them he was the most responsible and down to earth, being the eldest had a big impact in his way of living, much like young Sanemi he is constantly thinking of the wellbeing of his family and does his best to support his parents.
"Genma, you're in charge of picking the best tomatoes to sell tomorrow. Water your mother's herbs when you're done."
"Yes father!" Genma was the sweetest of them all, always wanting to please his mother and father alike. Sanemi was forever jealous at the fact that he was a momma's boy, he reminds him so much of Genya he wishes he would look up to him the way his brother used to do, but his mother is softer and prettier, of course anyone would choose her instead, he would do too.
"Remi, help your mother separate the black from the red berries and put them in the different baskets. If you behave, I might show you the third form." His only daughter was the closest to him, she inherited his spirit and even if she's not even three yet she begs her father to teach her his wind breathing techniques, days he decides to indulge her even the tiniest bit are the happiest around the house.
"(Y/N) you concentrate on the marmalade and watching Senri, I'll take care of the rest there is to do around in the fields and pick up the eggs." reaching over for your husband, you placed a soft kiss to his lips, nodding at his instructions. You were still very much pregnant and doing more than that would be harsh on your body. Patting your bum lovingly, he rolled his sleeves up and headed back to work.
"Mma this!" Remi was diligently following her father's instructions, pulling a berry that wasn’t ripe out and showing it to you in her tiny hand. "Good eye, baby. Let's put those a side ok? We don't want the marmalade to be sour." happily she set it on a plate and continued with her designated job.
No day was the same. Having a farm gave the kids the opportunity to be active and learn from their parents skills that would be useful in the future. Sanemi made sure to rotate them around the tasks, he wanted his children to grow as strong as he was and as smart as their mother, he wanted nothing but the best for them.
By the end of the day they were all tired and ready for bed as early as the sun would set that day.
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
Sundays were off. It didn't matter how much work was pending in the farm, how many eggs the chickens lay that morning, how much money they made that week, nothing mattered. Days off were important for the Shinazugawas.
Sanemi didn't get much time to lay around with his youngest since he is always so busy, but Sundays were normally deemed 'Senri day'.
Today though, he had slightly different plans.
You just finished bathing Remi and Senri when you heard Genma squealing like a little piglet.
"Genma get your ass here right now!"
Your husband sounded pissed. He rarely yells at the children, no matter how angry he was.
"Mother!!! Help me!! Father has gone crazy!! MOTHER!!!" his cries for help made you run outside your house, just to see your husband chasing your child around the fields with a sharp knife in his hand.
"Shinazugawa Sanemi. What on earth are you doing?" the child crashed against your leg, hiding behind it. If there was someone who could save him, that would be you.
"Tch." he was forced to stop running by your deep angry mother glare, "I just wanted to give him a haircut, love. Don't know why he's running away like a freak. Did you see him run? How is he faster than me? He's five, this makes no sense."
The four Shinazugawa children took after their father in their physical strengths. Sanehiko could lift a grown pig up since he was four. Genma had super speed, apparently. Remi had his blood thirst and Senri broke Sanehiko's finger when he was just three months old.
You brought Genma up into your arms, looking into his terrified eyes. "What's wrong, baby? Why aren't you letting your father cut your hair? You can't even see of how long it is."
"He....wanted to shave the sides of my head...." the child buried his face on your chest seeking for comfort, this always irritated Sanemi. He understands he is still young and that’s completely normal, but nobody but him and maybe Senri should be allowed to do that. Being jealous of his own children was a new low for the pillar.
"Stop being such a cry baby. I will do it whether you want it or not, I'm your father I do whatever the hell I want."
"Seems like you enjoyed sleeping out by the kitchen, darling." all trace of color drained from Sanemi's face instantly.
"B-babe....let's talk this out, ok? I just wanted to give him a haircut, you know he needs one." and he did, but you didn't like the way he was speaking to the child.
"Why are you shaving his head though? He looks so cute with his long hair." you were peppering soft kisses all over his little face, making him giggle.
By now Sanemi was sitting on the floor beside you, heaving out a long defeated sigh. "My brother...he had his hair like that. I guess I miss him."
"Oh my love...." setting your child down, you embraced your crestfallen husband, kissing the side of his face. "I know you see your brother in Genma, but you gotta remember he's your son and he is just five. Running after him with a knife in your hand isn't considered bonding."
"Father. It’s ok, you can shave my head. I don't like that sad face you're making." he brought Genma into a strong embrace and you all remained like that for a while. He missed Genya dearly, but having you around was more than he deserved.
"Remi too, Remi too!!!" your little girl jumped on Sanemi's back, nuzzling his neck with her little nose.
Sanehiko was holding Senri, confused by the knot of people before him. "What's going on?"
"Just come here, dammit." he settled for leaving Senri in your arms and gently nestle himself on your side, one of his hands holding one of his father's.
The Shinazugawa household was warm and full of understanding.
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
After a well deserved break, your husband was now getting into your shared futon ready for a good night sleep.
He loved caressing your enlarged belly, there was nothing he enjoyed more than seeing you carrying his babies, knowing you had a part of him inside of you. He would always fall asleep while tracing patterns on your tummy, face pressed on the side of your neck.
Maybe it was the emotional afternoon your family had, maybe it was the long walk up the hill from the day before. The reason was unknown to you but a sharp pain on your lower half alerted your sleepy husband.
“(Y/N) what’s wrong?”
“Is coming Nemi.” as if on cue, your water broke all over your freshly laundered covers.
“What do you mean is coming? Isn’t it too early? Fuck, what do we do now? Can you wait until I go call the midwife?” he already knew the answer to that question, your body was moving on its own into a good position to deliver the baby.
“Can’t do. We gotta do this on our own, I’ve done it four times already and you’ve been there for every single one of them, we know what to do.”
“Are you out of your fucking mind (Y/N)? What if there’s complications? Senri gave you a hard time.” he was panicking now, removing the covers completely to give you more space, “Hell, you haven’t even finished waving the basket, where is the baby going to sleep?”
“SANEHIKO.” the contractions were heavy, painful, one right after the other, you needed a cool headed person around while your husband hyperventilated in a corner of the room.
“Yes, mother?” the child had already gone to bed, but was still awake thankfully, coming to your aid instantly.
“The baby is coming my love, you know what to do right?” the child nodded making his way over to the kitchen, returning not long after with clean cloths and water.
“Take Senri, we need his basket. Remember, don’t come out of the room until I go look for you, no matter what you hear. This goes for the rest of the gang too, keep an eye on all of them.” Sanemi’s anxiety driven self was finally grasping reality, just in time.
It was now just the two of you in your room. The same room you and your brother were born in, the same room where your four children came to this world. “We can do this, love.” Sanemi held your hand as tight as he could getting in between your legs as you started pushing your fifth child out. Thankfully there were no complications, the child came out fast and with minimal effort, more than ready to come out and meet her family.
Sanemi was ecstatic when he saw his baby girl for the first time as the adrenaline rush was finally settling down. He somehow thought he’d have another boy; it was a pleasant surprise. He was so into it that even forgot he had to clip the cord, almost dragging you out with him when he pulled the baby close to his chest. She looked just like you, his beautiful little treasure.
After cleaning you and the baby, Sanemi set the child on his son’s basket, wrapped into a little cocoon where she slept peacefully tired of the whole adventure.
“How are you feeling, baby? You did such a good job. You’re a pro at this now you have my respect I could never do that, specially not now that I saw it so up close, that shit's not for the weak. I knew I picked the right wife.” this made you giggle, pulling your husband in for cuddles. You probably needed space but all you wanted was to be in his arms.
“I feel less heavy. A bit sore though.” he was rubbing circles onto the side of your hip trying his best to relieve the pain even if it was just a little.
“Do you want me to call the kids in? I can take Sae to them so you can rest some more.”
“Yeah, I don’t think I can handle Remi jumping on me right now.” you both chuckled, staring dreamily into each other’s eyes.
The children were overwhelmed with how cute their little sister was, Genma was particularly over the moon as he wasn’t the only one with dark hair any longer.
Sanemi explained to the kids that their mother needed to rest just like when Senri was born, they needed to behave, be gentle and stay out of troubles. But even after his father’s speech, Genma managed to sneak out of the room quietly and was now kneeling by your side.
“Mother, is your belly ok? Do you need belly rubs?” his sweet little voice was music to your ears, his gentle nature was truly a gift.
“I would love that, sweetie. But does your father know you’re here?” the child swallowed hard seemingly nervous but opted for ignoring the question and go straight to work, gently massaging your sore belly. “I will go to bed in a bit, just thought you might need belly rubs.” he looked like a little delinquent now that his father styled his hair with such a fashion forward design, it was the cutest thing in this world.
“Thank you, baby. You’re the best.” sitting up slightly, you gave your toddler a good night kiss, sending him his way before anyone noticed.
Sanemi noticed of course, but he didn’t say anything, he knew his son, he was probably just making sure his mother was still alive after the deafening screams heard all over the house during the birthing process.
He took Sae back to your room, leaving Senri to share his eldest brother bedding arrangements for the night to give you some extra time to finish the second basket the next day.
Finally going back to your side, Sanemi nearly collapsed on top of you, proud of the evening accomplishments but as tired as one can be, it never even crossed his mind he would help deliver his own child, it was an insane experience. “So how does it feel being the father of five children?” teasing your man was fun, especially when he was this tired, he gets way softer.
“Makes me want to put another one inside of that delicious looking-“
“SANEMI!” he bursts out laughing, burying his face on your hair.
“Just saying... Feels pretty good though. You know I come from a very large family, it feels great having all this tiny loud brats running around, makes me feel complete. You’ve given me so much…”
You were dozing off on his chest, placing a kiss on it before closing your eyes, “I would give you the world, my love.”
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
Being a parent to five children was not easy.
The age gap wasn’t as helpful now a days. When Genma was born Sanehiko was already old enough to understand what was happening. But having three children in a row was taking a toll both physically and mentally on you and your husband.
Remi was difficult to handle, always so full of energy. Senri was still just a little baby but was currently learning how to walk on his own, accidents following his every step. And Sae was milking the life out of you, her appetite was like no other.
You were tired and so was Sanemi.
Even the market stall had to go on a little break, this didn’t happen when Senri was born. He’s always been a quiet baby, would sleep most of his day. But Sae was always hungry and would constantly ask to be fed.
Sanehiko was deemed Senri’s guardian, while Sanemi held onto Remi for dear life majority of the day. The farm still needed to be tended to and you would have to go back to the market soon or the goods would be lost. Genma was tasked as your moral support or how Sanemi liked to call it ‘your servant’, he was in charge of making sure his mother had everything she needed, so he would go on fluffing your pillow every few minutes, bring you water, rub your belly, help you hold his sister while you changed her. He was a big help regardless of what the others said.
“Nii-nii look.” Remi would run over to the house to show her brother the vegetables she picked, the bugs she found, she even brought an egg, her hair littered with feathers making you giggle at the mental image of your husband trying to catch his daughter and chase her out of the coop. She’s always been given easy tasks as she’s still very little, but she was now helping her father with the farm, it made her feel important.
Genma knew she was taunting him, but he was where he wanted to be, there was nothing he’d rather do than to help his mother and new sister to be comfortable and well, he was a man now, the Shinazugawa are strong, he got this under control.
You were dozing off while feeding your daughter, Genma already snoozing on your lap, when you heard tiny feet running in your direction. You could see Remi on Sanemi’s shoulders picking corn in the fields from the window, this could only mean one thing.
“Senri, is that you?” a tiny hand was holding onto the doorframe, supporting his own weight. His brother was supposed to be watching him, but your children all take after their father, you knew Sanehiko wasn’t at fault, it was most likely Senri who sneaked out.
“Come here, my love.” he lets go of the door stumbling clumsily into your arms, “Did you miss me? I sure miss you, my baby boy. It's time for your nap, isn’t it?” he was climbing onto you, stepping on Genma’s hand in the process but very diligently skipping over his newborn sister as if afraid of hurting her.
In under a minute, you could hear your restless son lifting things around the house, scrambling in fear. “Sanehiko, he’s here baby.” a tuft of white hair was now peaking from outside the window, he didn’t want his parents to notice he lost a brother but got caught regardless. He was panting, face covered in sweat, “He disappeared so quickly mother, I swear I just looked to the side for a second and he was gone.”
“I know sweetie, I know. Why don’t you come here and rest with us for a while? We all need a nap.” That was a tempting offering, he was tired that was a fact. Having to look after his little brother, while being constantly awoken at night by a crying baby was a bit too much for a nine-year-old. He nestled on your side, giving you some extra support on the arm that was holding your daughter. Quickly falling asleep like the rest of the gang, face comfortably pressed on your shoulder.
Sanemi had picked up some of your lavender for tea, hopefully that would get you to sleep better. He was about to announce his plan when he saw more than half of his family sprawled on the floor, enjoying an afternoon nap, the sun beams coming through the window were shinning on the beautiful face of his darling wife the love of his life, and his offspring.
His youngest toddler was dozing off on his head, her arms now dangling to the sides of his face. Seems like everyone had the same idea.
He put her down on her eldest brother lap, and she curled on your side immediately, holding Sanehiko’s arm like a pillow. Sanemi went on your other side, cradling you, Genma, and Senri to his chest, letting out a content sigh out and kissing your forehead softly trying not to wake you up.
His life could be chaotic and had been quite challenging over the years, but once he found his happy place, he wouldn’t trade it for anything in this universe, and that was you.

behind the scenes chapter three | friends with professional benefits
Tumblr media
masterlist | prev | next
pairing: jamie tartt x actress!reader (ted lasso)
rating: T
word count: 3,410
summary: you and jamie get to know each other. let the games begin.
a/n: this is coming out later than i had planned but i hope it was worth the wait! going to be less busy this coming weekend so hope to share more soon and get a lot of chapters in the queue for you all <3
Five days. It had been five days since you and Jamie agreed on your plan to fake date in front of the entire world. And although you didn’t regret the idea - yet - you’d still had enough time to overthink and suddenly become very nervous about things going wrong. 
You hadn’t seen Jamie since your conversation in the café, but you had various text exchanges throughout the week. At some point Jamie had asked you what your contact name was for him.
what do you mean? it's your name. jamie.
just jamie?
what else would it be?
you’ve gotta add emojis luv if someone sees your phone it's gotta look like i’m ur boyfriend. mine says ur name with like 5 hearts
That’s when you realized you needed to be more thorough than you thought. 
Which is precisely why Jamie was coming over to your flat today. Sure you’d known you needed to get together sooner or later to talk through the plan as a whole, but today you were armed with a checklist of things to cover. 
You’d also talked things over with Margot earlier in the week. And Harry. But that conversation had been a lot more cut and dry. He was over the moon you were doing this, and sent you an email with own list of requirements. It basically started and ended with: be a couple in PUBLIC. 
With Margot, she’d repeatedly asked if you were sure about the whole thing. You’d told her over and over again that, yes, you had never been more sure of anything in your life. Though by the fourth reassurance, you weren’t sure how convincing you sounded. 
Either way, you were committed to this and dammit if you weren’t going to see this through. This was just another role you had to play. It’s what you did best.
From your spot on your coach, you nearly fall off of it when there’s a knock on your door. 
Jamie.
Its go time. 
You put your laptop down on the coffee table and jog over to the front door. Pulling it open, you’re actually surprised to see Jamie standing on your doorstep holding a bouquet of flowers. 
You squint, “Are those for me?”
Jamie scoffs, “No, they’re for your elderly neighbor I just passed. I’m hoping you can introduce me.” You roll your eyes but give him a smile, “Of course they’re for you. We have to make this look convincing right?”
“Jamie, there’s nobody else here.”
“Okay, but what about paparazzi? One could be lurking about and catching me visiting your flat would be the perfect kickstart to this whole thing.”
You chuckle, “I doubt there’s any photographers around here.” Still you look around behind him, and after seeing no one, you pull him into your apartment and shut the door.
“Still, you know Google Earth. Always taking pics,” Jamie jokes, laughing to himself as he steps further into your living room.
You stop in your place before you follow him, “Did you just quote Parks and Rec?”
Jamie spins around, “You understood that reference?” 
You laugh in disbelief, “Of course. It's one of my favorite shows.”
“Same,” he smiles, “Used to watch it with my Mum all the time in high school.”
“I love that,” you smile back, closing the gap between the two of you so you can take the flowers from his hands, “These are pretty by the way. Let me go put them in a vase but feel free to make yourself at home.”
You’re quick to fill up a vase in your kitchen, leaving the flowers on the counter, but are surprised to return to Jamie still standing in the middle of your living room, looking around.
“This place doesn’t seem very you,” he comments as you return, plopping down on the couch.
“How would you know? You just met me,” you ask teasingly.
“Well, that’s the point of today isn’t it,” Jamie teases back, joining you on the couch, “Still, it seems very posh and you seem a lot more chill.”
You nod, “Well, I’m just renting this place while I’m here so not much of it is mine. I’m thinking about decorating it a bit to make it more homey.”
“Well if you need any recommendations for places to look, I know some stores that have cool shit.”
“I may have to take you up on that.”
You lean forward and grab your laptop again. You glance over the excel sheet you had open and try to figure out where to start.
“What you lookin’ at over there?” Jamie asks curiously, trying to peak over.
“I want a way to keep track of all the things we need to figure out like our cover story and just things we need to know about each other,” You explain, turning your computer towards him.
His eyes widen at the very detailed and colored coded document you had laid out. “Wow, that’s…intense.”
You chuckle, “Yeah, I may be a creative but I am very Type A. I also don’t want to fuck this up so I think it would nice to have a place to keep track of everything. I can email this to you if you want? Or ooh! I can upload it to Google Drive so we can both edit it.”
Jamie shakes his head, but there’s a small smile on his face, “Sure. Where should we start, Boss?”
“Well, I feel like the most obvious thing we need to cover is how did we meet? How did we get together?”
Jamie’s thoughtful for a second before shrugging, “I feel like we could use how we actually met, you know? It’s realistic because it's actually real. And keeps it simple. We ran into each other and got coffee, or hot chocolate, as some may prefer.”
“Nice, you remember my preferred beverage,” you smile as you start typing in the doc, “Who asked who out? Did we do it that day?”
“You asked to exchange numbers, but I reached out a couple days later. Maybe we went on our first date last weekend?”
You nod thoughtfully, “That works.”
“It would’ve had to have been Friday, though,” he adds, “I had a match Saturday afternoon and told Keeley about seeing someone that night.”
You bite the inside of your cheek, “I filmed late on Friday night.”
Jamie shrugs, “I could’ve waited up for you. Got drinks at a bar?”
Your lips quirk up at the thoughtfulness - even though it was made up.
“Okay,” you continue filling out your spreadsheet, “I have a list of things that one might normally know about a significant other, but since our “relationship” is so new, I think we only need to cover what you would on a first date.”
Jamie’s eyebrows furrow, “Like…what?”
You glance up at him, “What? Jamie Tartt’s never been on a date before?”
He laughs awkwardly, “I’ve obviously been on dates. But we didn’t really do a lot of talking.”
You roll your eyes, “Oh lovely. Alrighty, then, let's just focus on what normal people do the first time they’re getting to know someone.”
“Fine,” Jamie sighs, “Hit me.”
“What’s your…favorite color?”
“Seriously?”
“What?” you laugh, “It's a completely normal question.”
“Yeah, for five year-olds,” he frowns, crossing his arms.
“Come on, you’re seriously going to sit here and tell me you don’t have a favorite color?”
“I dunno,” he shakes his head looking around, “Maybe, blue?”
“Blue? Come on, that’s such a boy answer,” you mock.
“Well, I am a boy if you haven’t noticed,” Jamie throws back defensively, “Its my favorite color your asking, is it not?”
You bite your lip to keep from laughing, amused by how seriously he’s taking this, “It is. Why blue then?”
He shrugs, “Dunno. It’s one of Richmond’s colors. Was a Man City color, which is the team I used to play for and my hometown team. I remember my mum wearing it a lot growing up.”
A genuine smile starts to form on your face as you listen to him ramble. It was the second time he’d brought up his mom. “Are you and your mom really close?”
He turns to you, a little taken back, “You ask about parents on a first date?”
You shrug one shoulder, “If it's going well.”
Jamie has to turn back away from you so he doesn’t do something stupid like blush. He decides to focus on answering your question. “We are. She’s sort of like...my rock, I guess? She’s actually the one who got me into football.”
You nod, listening intently, “And your dad?”
You notice Jamie tense slightly, but he turns back to you with a half smile, “Our relationship’s a bit complicated. Maybe that’s more of a story for a fifth date or something.”
You give him a kind smile, “That’s fair.” And then you turn back to your laptop screen.
“What about you?” Jamie asks after a beat.
You look up with raised eyebrows, “Me? My favorite color is yellow.”
Jamie chuckles, “Noted. But no, I meant, what's your relationship with your parents like?”
“Oh!” you chuckle lightly with him, “My mom is the best. Feels like she might get along with yours; she’s the reason I’m an actor.” Jamie’s smile grows, “She did literally everything in the world to support me even though she was a single mother. I never knew my dad though. He left my mom before I was born so he’s never been around.”
“Oh, that sucks, I’m sorry,” Jamie says softly.
“It’s fine. I don’t know him. And from the brief things my mom has said, its probably for the best. And honestly it's okay. Mom’s been more than enough on her own.”
Jamie nods, the smile back on his face. “Okay, anything else you got on that list besides colors and parents?”
“Oh, I have plenty,” you chuckle, “But feel free to ask me anything of your own?”
“Hmm,” Jamie thinks for a second, “What's your favorite flower?”
You look up, amused, “My favorite flower?”
“Yeah. You know that way I can be more specific next time I get you some,”
You once again have to bite back a smile, “Uh, I would say daisies are my favorite flower.” Jamie nods, committing the information to memory, “What about you?”
“Me?” you nod and Jamie doesn’t even hesitate, “I think lilies are nice.”
“Lillies are nice,” you agree, typing it into the doc.
That’s how you spend the next hour or so, asking one another trivia about each other and inputting it into the doc for ease of studying later. You learn about each others childhood pets and the careers you wanted when you were five. You learn each other's favorite foods, stores, bands, as well as the little things you hated. You learned more about his teammates, particularly those closest to him like Sam, Isaac, Colin and Dani. In turn you told him about how Margot was more like a sister to you even if she was technically your employee, as well as your childhood next door neighbor Katie who was still your best friend today.
You only realize you’d been talking for so long when your stomach lets out a growl, and Jamie doesn’t even pretend to courteously not hear it when he lets out a belly laugh. 
“Leave me alone, it actually is almost dinner time, dude,” you defend, even though you find yourself laughing along with him.
“Fair point,” he amends when he catches his breath, “Do you want to order in?”
You don’t even protest the idea of prolonging your time together, thoroughly enjoying getting to know him, “Sure. I can order a pizza.”
You start searching local pizza places into Google, when you remember another item of business you had on your list. 
“Ooh, that packet on the coffee table is for you.” you nod in the direction of said stack of papers.
Jamie sits up, intrigued by the mysterious document, and picks it up. He squints at the weird legalese, “Is this…a contract?” You nod, “What, you don’t trust me or something?”
“No, it's not that, it's just standard,” you shrug, “It's more or less just to appease my publicist and the like.” Jamie still looks unsure, so you sit up and start flipping pages of the document for him, “Looks, its no big deal. I already signed it myself. It just states we can’t tell anyone about this. Besides, the NDA expires in 5 years anyway. So by that time, I’ll have an Oscar and you’ll be a washed up football player, and no one will believe you if you said anything.”
Jamie huffs, “I want to be offended by that, but you called it football so I’ll accept it.”
You smirk, “See, I’m a fast learner.” Then you settle back into your spot on the couch and carry on ordering pizza. 
Jamie looks over the packet again, before siding it was no use tonight, “You mind if I look this over and get it back to you in a few days?”
You nod, “Of course.”
“And your publicist knows? I mean obviously. And assuming Margot knows? Have you told anyone else?” he asks.
“Nope, that’s all,” You answer, “I get it if you want someone to confide in, but I figure the tighter we keep the circle, the better, right?” Jamie nods, “I mean have you told your publicist or professional team?”
Jamie laughs humorlessly, “My publicist is my ex, Keeley.”
You once again look up at him with your mouth agape, “Nooo, how does that happen?”
Jamie shakes his head, “Not intentionally. She took over the club’s PR before I came back to the team and I guess I never thought to find someone else. We became friends, genuine friends, but then everything got tangled up again a few months ago. And yeah. Here we are.”
You look at him for a few seconds before you let out a deep breath, “Well, that all sounds fun. A real incestuous family you got going on over there at AFC Richmond huh?”
Jamie can’t help but laugh along with you, “Yeah, look what you’re marrying into.”
You chuckle, but weirdly you feel your stomach flip at his phrasing. You brush right past it in order to collect his pizza preferences. As you finalize submitting the order, Jamie starts over analyzing your apartment again. This time he’s a bit more nosy and pulls open some of the coffee table drawers. He gasps when he pulls open the second one.
“No way. Please tell me this is yours and it didn’t just come with the place.”
When you look up, he’s holding up a Mario Kart game cover. 
You scoff, “Of course that’s mine.” 
“I haven’t played this in ages,” Jamie says, studying the back cover. 
Another smile plays at your lips. You nod at the TV in front of you, “I can hook up my Switch if you want. It’s been a while since I’ve played with someone other than myself.”
Jamie looks up at you, an excited grin forming on his face. “You’re fucking on.”
And so you spend the next hour competing against Jamie in various Mario Kart races. You play as Toad, naturally. Jamie plays as Princess Peach which makes you laugh. In between rounds, you munch on pizza and breadsticks. You also manage to get to know each other more, and set up ground rules for your charade even as you trash talk one another.
“I feel like the most important is PDA,” you state, somehow managing to focus on not falling off rainbow road while also talking strategy.
“Well, we’ve obviously got to do some of it,” Jamie comments, cursing as he gets hit with a shell, “It would look weird if we didn’t sometimes.”
“Sure, but we’ve gotta have some boundaries. We can’t just be kissing each other willy-nilly.”
Jamie chuckles, “Well, yeah, consent is key.”
Your lips quirk, “I’m completely fine with small things like hugs and hand holding whenever it seems fit.”
“Okay, cool, yeah,” Jamie nods, “And if you’re fine with it, kisses on the cheek are pretty innocent.”
“Yeah,” you nod, swerving to avoid a banana, “But actual kissing…”
Neither of you know how to finish that sentence. However, your race comes to an end. This time you get away with first place, Jamie in second, which you’d be switching between throughout the evening. Without gameplay to distract you, you have to make a decision.
“Maybe we just take it as it comes?” you suggest slowly, “I mean, couples kiss right? So if it feels right in the moment, it's not a big deal for a peck here and there?”
“Yeah,” Jamie agrees, “And if there’s ever a time we need to make a show of it, we check in with each other. Either beforehand, or if its in the moment, we give each other a signal.”
“A signal?”
“Yeah, like we blink twice or something.”
You nod, “Blink twice. Okay. And if we’re ever uncomfortable with something, we just have to communicate with each other, right?”
“Right.” Jamie nods. After a beat, he extends his hand, “Looks like we’re doing this.”
You chuckle, but shake his hand none the less, “We’re doing this.”
You exchange smiles. Now that the sun has gone down, Jamie decides its probably time to head out for the night, feeling like you’d accomplished a lot over the course of the evening.
As you walk him to your door, you ask one last question, “There was actually one more thing I wanted to ask. If you’re free Thursday night, do you want to come to an event with me? Isabel Mercer’s new movie is premiering, and since she’s dating my costar the whole cast is going. Figure it might be a good place to make a public debut?”
Jamie smirks, “A movie premiere? You should have started with that.”
You snort, “Yeah, well, I had to make sure this mock-date went well first.”
“I’d say it went very well, wouldn’t you?” Jamie smiles, “I think we’ve got this shit in the bag.”
You laugh, “So I guess that means you’re in?”
Jamie does a half bow, “I would be honored.”  
“Good, because I hate going to these things. I need someone to suffer through it with me.”
Jamie fake-pouts, “Don’t try to make this sound less fun for me.”
You shake your head, and you make your voice really high as you reply, “Don’t worry, it’ll be great!”
Jamie tsks, “You’re gonna have to be better than that when we’re trying to convince the whole world we’re madly in love.”
“Yeah, yeah, get out of here,” You tease, opening your front door and gently shoving him towards it.
Jamie turns to you with a smile, “Good night, girlfriend.”
You resist the urge to roll your eyes and give him a smile of your own, “Good night, boyfriend.”
Before you can process what he’s doing, he’s leaning in to press a quick kiss to your cheek. Before he completely pulls away, he whispers in your ear, “Google Earth.” He gives you once last smirk before jogging down the steps. 
You shake your head as you lock up. This was certainly going to be an experience these next three months. 
You flop back down on your couch to review your notes from the evening. After reading through for a few minutes, you remember you hadn’t checked your phone the entire time he was there. Aside from a couple emails and a text from your mom, you didn’t have much since it was a Saturday. However, you also have 2 texts from Margot. The first you had missed from earlier this afternoon, which was a link to tweet from an updates account about you. The tweet contained pictures of Jamie arriving at your flat earlier that day. The second had been sent minutes ago, including a tweet from the same account, this time with pictures of Jamie leaving literally ten minutes ago.
The devil works hard, but paparazzi and stans work harder.
You also realize that Jamie had been right. That smug bastard.
You couldn’t be too annoyed though. The comments under the tweets, even the most recent, were filled with people surprised yet supportive of your coupling. A few even conceding that you did look cute in a relationship. You smile to yourself as you scroll through.
Shit. This was going to work.

What is the celestial same picverse? It is a collection of blogs that post the same picture of a celestial object every day and a series of “mortals” that interact with these celestial blogs. Celestial bodies include the Earth’s Sun, Saturn, Halley’s Comet, the Adromeda Galaxy, and so on. There is a lot of roleplaying.

Hello! Hope you’re doing well!
Just wanted to say that I’ve been following you for a pretty long time, though it’s been so long I really can’t remember why. I’ve never even read Homestuck so I have no clue why I’d follow such a big blog in that fandom.
But whatever the reason was, I’m glad I did! I like seeing you on my dash, even if I barely understand half of it. I especially like seeing you have fun, so I’m sorry you seem to be enjoying fandom less lately.
I hope you keep having fun wherever else you end up on tumblr, and someday I hope to see you on my dash again. Take care out there! 💙
thank you for sticking around so long 🙏 i believe that all the non hs fans who are following me are some of the strongest people on earth. i'm really happy that you like my blog!!! i'm definitely going to be sticking around, just engaging with the fandom less once my queue runs out in a few months. i hope you're having a good one anon 🫡❤️

Okay, plans for this weekend (it's a long weekend too, thank god).
Finish question drive.
Do a single-word drabble drive (I'll probably set that up after this). Done.
Read and Queue what drabbles/asks I haven't seen yet.
Add resources to the Compendium.
Play the damn game. Take some screenshots.
Maybe make a cohost guide because I've had a couple of people ask about it??
If you have read this far, by the way, I do have a question. I make no promises this will come to fruition, but —
If I were to make a discord server that was one part support/a catch-all for my projects and another half a low-maintenance hang-out space for people, would you join?
Be honest, I really don't want to dedicate resources or even consider doing any moderation if it won't take off. Keep in mind, when I say 'moderate' I expect you all to be adults and curate/block people as needed. Like all of my projects, I'll nuke it before I get into deep interpersonal drama adfgjkhdf.
I still firmly believe in keeping my resources accessible for people who don't want to join, I just feel like I'm in a position manage interacting/meeting new people but I'm horrendous at talking one on one for any length of time.

Congratulations for 500 follower!🎉🎉Hmmmmm how about a fluff Ver x Reader? Hope you like it Chia✨✨
"Can I kiss you?" , With Ver Vermilion
Tumblr media
Warning !
Fluff ; Friends to Lovers ; Confession ; Established Relationship ; Shy ! Ver ; Mentions of Kissing ;
A/n : I am liking this so much to my delight, I finally have a reason to write Ver's kissing idea I had a week ago.
No, a few days ago? Yeah-- i think.. uh..
Also thank you for the congratulation Anon ! 💜
A-
I, hope you like this. (⁠•⁠ ⁠▽⁠ ⁠•⁠;⁠)
➶◜◝➴
You admire his hardwork, everything. How he manages the student council, how he acted so friendly with other students. You remember the day when he told you, you can come over to him. Or should I say, The president of the student council, Ver Vermilion. For ranting about almost everything, he said he looked forward to it.
Do you remember?
That was a few months ago..
The way he smiled at you, constantly patting your head. His kind words, flows through your eardrums, his voice. Oh-so-addicting to listen to,
You've gone closer to him ever since that day, you sometimes would go visit him at the student council room when you had the time, not only for ranting sometimes you just go there, visiting him.
Socializing with the other student council members, Kotoka, Zaion, Doppio, Meloco. even the student counselor is there too. Hex.
. . .
"..y.. ey.. Hello? (Y/n)? Earth to (Y/n)?" You blinked back to reality thanks to a certain familiar voice calling out your name. "H-huh? What-" you were spacing out, as you unconsciously stare at the..
President of student council.
Oh, wait, you're staring at Ver this whole time?! And you didn't even realize you were staring, you look up at Ver. Who was standing not too far from you, "Hey, you were, kinda uh, spacing out there. Are you okay?" He asked you, with a very visible worry plastered on his face. "Ah, I- I'm okay, I was just thinking about yo- I MEAN UH, YOGURT- yogurt? YOGURT YEAH." You panicked.
You don't even know why you spat out yogurt, you look away flustered, now you're a flustered mess. You almost expose yourself and your feelings to him! You closed your eyes tightly and took a deep breath, you didn't even realize how Ver just stood there a bit flabbergasted. "Yogurt huh.. do you, perhaps? Want some..?" He hesitantly asked you, you look over at him trying to explain yourself but you only ended up getting more flustered than before when you see his cute confused face.
"I-, Kaichou, I'm sorry, I was, just, blabbering out nonsense, forget that I said anything" You said as you scold at yourself internally, mentally yelling at yourself. "Oh- Ah, I see.. I, uh I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable by approaching you, but you.." Ver went quiet before he could finish his sentence, you look up at him, confused. Why did he not finish his sentence.
Noticing your confusion, he slightly chuckled, "No, nevermind, it's nothing, So how's your study?" "Huh, hmm.. well it was ..."
. . .
Both of you talked for quite awhile, the bell rings, and that is both of your queue to go to your classes. You bid goodbye to Ver, and walked away as he went the opposite way.
As you walk to your class, you ponder, how should you confess your feelings to Kaichou, to him, Ver Vermilion. But you're guessing by doing so, you might just risking your friendship with him.
What if he rejects you?
What if he doesn't feel the same way?
What if..
You slowly shook your head and sighed, maybe later you thought. You enter your class and went to your seat, your classmates asked you bunch of questions since they saw you talking with Kaichou.
But all you can say is nothing since you both talked about are mostly about school, nothing much.
. . .
The bell rings again, it's your second break, you're currently talking with your friends about the lesson you just learned a few minutes ago. Until one of your boy classmate called you out,
"Yo (Y/n), Kaichou is looking for you" He said, your friends coo at you, teasing you endlessly, making your face red not only because you're flustered but you're also a bit mad about their teasing. You sighed softly and walked out of your class, and there he is standing right in front of your class door, arms crossed, face looking to the side, watching at other students.
"Kaichou, you're looking for me?" You asked as you approach the president of the student council, He turned his head to you and smiled. "Yeah, I'm sorry if I bother you, I want to talk to you about something, do you have a minute?" He asked as he fixed his uniform. You slowly nod your head, "Okay, good, uh, do you mind if we talk somewhere else tho?" "Sure, lead the way Kaichou! I'll follow you" You said to Ver, making the male smile at you sheepishly.
"I'm sorry if I request too much, but I hope you don't mind." Ver said as he scratched the back of his head, "No, it's okay Kaichou, I'm more than willing to help you!" You said and smiled at him. Your words made him chuckle softly, he then pat your head, "Well then, come with me." He said as he lead you to somewhere less crowded.
And that is the student council room.
Here you are staring at Kaichou's table that is almost full of stacked papers on his table, you look over at Ver to see him pinching his nose bridge. "Those papers..." He whispered to himself and sighed, "Well, I'll finish those later.." he said and took a deep breath.
You smiled at him, a bit guilty, "Must be tiring huh?" You said, making the male's attention move to you. "Ah, well, I would be lying if I said it isn't haha" Ver replied and lead you to the nearby chair, "Have a seat..!" He said as he gently pull out the chair to let you sit, like a gentleman he is.
"I was wondering, if you're, uh, free this weekend?" He hesitantly asked you, "I am, free. Why do you ask?" You asked, eyes sparkled with curiosity. "I was wondering if you want to hangout, with me." He said, "With the others too-! O-of course." He continued a little bit stuttering at the end. You blinked a few times at him, you frowned for a moment.
"Don't force yourself if you can't, I am not forcing you to.... ..." "I thought it would just be the two of us" you spattered out, and the next second you slap your mouth after realizing what you said. You look up at the male in front of you, standing there a bit stunned, "Well- uhm, I mean, That could also work- if that's what you want." His reply is making things nowhere near better.
You bury your face into your palms, slightly screaming into it. You want to run away and hide now. You did not just spat out your disappoinment right in front of the male, now here you are in an awkward situation.
Ver stared at you with with a soft gaze, he sat himself across you. He watches you try to calm yourself down as he put his chin on his palm. He stared at you, with not only admiration, but also something else. If only you notice the way he look at you right now. "Are you okay?" He finally asked after a long silence of you trying to calm your nerves down.
You look up at him, blinked a few times and looked away again. "I'm sorry, I swear I did not mean to spat out that sentence.." you tried to explain yourself, but then you realize the male in front of you doesn't even seem to be bothered by it. Instead he just smiled and chuckled, "It's okay, if that's what you really want, we can do that. Hanging out only with the two of us." He said as he stands up from the chair and approached you, he put his hand on your head once again patting your head.
"I'll be waiting then, meet me at .."
. . .
The time moves so fast, it's already weekend. Right now you're preparing yourself for the da- the hangout, With Ver. You look at yourself on the mirror, you fixed your clothes, you look at yourself one more time before leaving your house.
You walked down the road, a bit frowning, you wonder how today's 'hangout' will go. Doesn't this feel like,
A date?
You look down at your bag, you opened it and there is a small present that you made specifically for Ver. You were planning to give him this at school, but you didn't have the chance to. Now you do, last night you almost didn't get any sleep due to how nervous you are. You're planning to confess your feelings today, you can't stop thinking about what he would say to your confession.
What would happen if you got rejected?
Is he still going to act the same? Or is he going to change?
So many questions flooded your mind.
When you snap back to reality, you've arrived at the location where you would see each other. You stood there idly, looking around to see if you can find the familiar looking male. And then there he is, walking down the path, with a coat on, black turtle neck.
The weather is indeed quite cold, maybe you should've wear something more warmer. But you did bought yourself some shawl to warm yourself. Ver when he spotted you he immediately smiled, he quicken his pace to you and stopped a few steps away from you. "Sorry I'm late.." he apologized and smiled sheepishly, "It's okay Kaichou, I just arrived too" you replied and smiled at him. "Haha, is that so? Well then shall we go?"
. . .
How long has it been? Both of you went here and there, went to some shops, even went to the arcade. Both of you had so much fun until you're both currently waiting in a line for food, you both waited for quite awhile to finally reach your turn. The owner looked at you both, "For couples?" Both of you stared at the owner surprised, "Uh- does that make any difference with the original ones?" Ver asked trying to not make things awkward. "Yes, of course! You're a couple right? Both of you look cute together haha" the owner said complimenting both of you, "T-thank you, uh, we will take the couple one then.." Ver said.
. . .
Now both of you sat across each other, eating the food together. Like a couple, but you're both are not even in relationship. Yet. You stared at the food In front of you, you slowly scoop another one. And put them in your mouth, you frowned. Couldn't stop thinking about what the owner said, "(You look cute together)" you spaced out again as you think about that one sentence. "(Y/n)?" Ver called you out, noticing you've stopped eating.
You look up at Ver, tilting your head in confusion, "Yeah?" "You're spacing out again, what's wrong?" He asked worried. "Oh, I was just, thinking about, something not important don't worry." You replied, making the male raise his eyebrow. "Not convincing enough but okay, I won't push you to tell me." Ver replied and smiled at you, "Well, is there a place that you want to go before I take you home?" He asked. "Uhmm.. there is, come with me." You said, as you stood up from your chair and extend your hand to him. He stared at your hand for a second and then your face, he then chuckled softly, a little bit flustered. He put his hand on top of yours, you smiled at him and gently pull him off his chair, not forgetting the half finished food. You then pull Ver to a spot, that there's barely people to be seen there.
"Oh, wow." Ver was in awe looking at his surroundings, "This is," He smiled as he watch his surrounding once again. "It's beautiful isn't it?" You said and smiled at him, "I thought you knew about this place?" You asked, he slowly shook his head. "No, I don't, but now I do." He said as he let out a chuckle, "Thank you for taking me here." He thanked you.
There's a bench nearby and both of you sat down there, watching the scenery in front of you. You on the other hand, fiddling on the bench, trying to figure out a way how to confess to this man that's sitting next to you.
"Ah, the sun is setting. We should head back, no?" Ver said as he stood up, extending his hand to you. "We should go now, before it's getting darker" he said waiting for you, you stared up at him. Then at his hand.
You slowly put your hand on top of his, he smiled at you as he gently pulled you off the bench. You both stood so close, you didn't pull your hand away. Instead, you hold it a little bit tighter.
Ver, who felt you still holding his hand, gently rub his thumb at the back of your hand. "Are you okay?" He softly asked, you closed your eyes and took a deep breath. You look up at him, both of you made eye contact for a moment. You slowly open your mouth, and say
"I like you.."
The male in front of you stood there, staring at you, surprised. He blinked multiple times, "M-me? You? Like me??" He repeated your confession. You slowly nod your head, you look down to your foot. Ready for rejection.
You feel his hand held yours tighter, he then gently pull your hand, make you walk closer to him. Until you're like inches away from his body, you look up at him. And oh boy, his face is so close to the point you can feel his breath. Smell his perfume. "You like me?" He whispered, staring into your eyes, seeking for the truth. As if you're getting hypnotized, you repeated your sentence. "I like you"
The male smiled, you can see a faint blush on his cheeks. He immediately engulfed you into his arms, "I, like you too.." he whispered into your ear. He slowly loosen up the hug, "We're official now huh?" He said as he smiled sheepishly. You nod your head and chuckled softly, "Let's go home.." you said as you pull Ver's hand, leading both of you away from the spot.
. . .
After walking for awhile, you're both now standing in front of your house. Both of you did not let go each other's hands at all on your way back home, you opened your bag and decided to give him the present that you have been waiting for the right time. And Right now is the right time, "Ver, I want to give you something." You said as you rummage your bag. "Hm?" He hummed curiously, he looked over at your bag.
You found the present and took it out, it's small. You gave it to him, he accepts it. He look down at the present, he smiled at it. He then reach down to his coat pocket, he took out a present too, and the size is almost the same as yours. It's also small. "I also prepared one for you.." he said, "I was planning to confess today, but you beat me up to it." He said and chuckled. Your eyes brightens up as you stare at the present and Ver, he wanted to confess too?
"here you go.." Ver offered you his present, and you took it. You stared at the present in awe, you wonder what's inside. You gave Ver a bracelet. Simple yet fashionable. If that make sense. "Open it." Ver said as he stared at you, "It's okay, open it." He said smiling. You look down at the present and slowly opened the present, it's a small box, and then you opened the box.
It's a necklace, you gently took it out from the box and touched the charm. You look up at Ver, "I, hope, ahem, I hope you like it.." he said, clearing his throat. "I love it, thank you.." you replied to him, you stared at the necklace once again. "Can you help me wearing it?" "Of course, here let me help you."
You turn yourself around, letting Ver help you wearing the necklace. You can feel his fingers brush against your neck, it's cold. Your body slightly shiver from the sensation. "Are you okay?" He asked when he noticed your body was shivering, "Yeah I'm okay.." you replied, "Thank you." You thanked him as you turn yourself back facing him.
Both of you stared at each other for a second, Ver slowly reach out his hand and put them on your cheek. Gently rub his thumb on your cheekbones, he slowly open his mouth
"Can I kiss you?"
Your eyes widen at his sudden request, you placed your hand on top of his. You slowly nod your head, giving him the permission to kiss you.
Chu.
You felt his soft lips on yours, your face felt warm when he kissed you. He pulled away and stared at you in awe, adoration, he smiled sheepishly. "Thank you for allowing me to kiss you, haha.. also,
Thank you for choosing me."

Bonus scene !
You laid on the bed, playing with the necklace that Ver gave you.
You heard your phone buzzing, you took your phone and look at the screen to see a message notification from Ver!
He send you a picture, you opened it to see him wearing the bracelet you gave him.
There's a message, he wrote,
'Thank you for the bracelet, I love it'

N7 Month, 2023 - Day 24: Foliage
A short mshenko drabble, mid-war, ME3
++
He had been all business, coming out of the Spectre office on the Citadel. But when Shepard found Kaidan standing in the diplomatic lobby downstairs, his mood immediately lifted. Maybe he didn’t have to jet on to the next appointment right away.
“Kaidan,” Shepard announced himself as he walked up. The man turned and gave Shepard a warm smile.
“Hey, Shepard,” Kaidan reached as if to take Shepard’s hand, then saw the crowd around and thought better of it. He crossed his arms across his chest. “I was just headed up to the Spectre office.” He was looking up, above the offices and bay windows.
“Something hold you up,” Shepard followed his gaze and saw a tree, an earth tree. It was small, no more than 10 feet high, but the yellow-green leaves were slowly becoming orange in places, firmer yellow in others.
“They always decorate the embassies with plants native to that ambassador, but two years ago they changed the whole Presidium to Earth cultivars to celebrate Earth’s admission to the Council,” Kaidan let his shoulder bump gently against Shepard’s as they looked at the tree together. “This one’s a vine maple. Practically a weed.”
As they watched one of the maple’s leaves drifted slowly down, landed at their feet. Only then did Shepard recognize there were leaves both colorful and brown scattered on the floor beneath the vine maple. All about the lobby, fallen leaves skittered across the floor.
“They’re all changing,” Kaidan’s voice was thick, his expression impassive. “The Station’s on reserve power: that means a temperature drop in areas that can take it. Also means the UV in the Presidium has been turned way down.”
“Since the coup?”
“Since before the coup, even.” Kaidan turned his eyes away from the maple, looked out the bay window at the Presidium below. “They had custodians sweeping up the leaves left and right, all over the Presidium. Since the coup, though…” He gestured around them to the leaves on the ground.
“It’s odd to have a sense of the seasons on a space station.” Shepard looked around the lobby, dozens of people in queues, some waiting or sobbing in a chair.
“And it’s April,” Kaidan scoffed. “Not, uh… not the season where things should be dying.”
“Think once the war’s over, they’ll finally turn up the UV again? Give these trees a chance?” Kaidan turned and gave Shepard an affectionate look, a soft, unspoken gratitude in his features.
“Maybe, Shepard.” He shook his head lightly, “But uh, where were you headed?”
“Down to Purgatory to meet with Aria, but…”
“But?”
“But I saw you.”
“Sorry to hold you up.”
“Not what I meant,” Shepard chuckled. “Of course I find Major Kaidan Alenko down in the lobby, taking time to look at the trees. You remind me to slow down.” Kaidan’s eyes were a little softer, but he still regarded Shepard with almost impassively.
“I’m glad I can be that for you, Shepard.” But he sounded glum. “Myself? I’ve been trying to hurry myself up. End of the world and I’m trying to squeeze everything in while I can. There’s not much in my life I’ve wanted that I haven’t gotten—I’ve led a pretty charmed life. But then you see something like this,” he gestured to the vine maple, “And it reminds you… ‘Oh yeah, I’d like to see fall again,’ or ‘Oh yeah, every sunrise is worth seeing.’ Then suddenly the war gets that much harder, you know?”
Shepard nodded solemnly. Kaidan had uncrossed his arm and let his arms dangle, stretching his neck. “Its all worth fighting for,” Shepard said.
“I know that,” Kaidan nodded. “Just.. for now, glad I got to see this tree before it dies, I guess. Little things.”
“Not dying,” Shepard let his body drift closer, till their hands almost touched at their sides. “Going dormant, waiting for spring. It’ll be back again.” Then, firmer, “You’ll see it all again.”
“Cycles, I guess,” Kaidan snorted lightly. “Everything’s always going to come back around…”
“Except this, except us.” The words were almost a whisper.
Kaidan reached down and took Shepard’s hand, paying no heed to the crowd or the trees, but only looking at Shepard.
“This is what’s happening now. You’re right,” Kaidan smiled. “I guess I better slow down a little and enjoy it, then.”
They stood holding hands for a long time, watching the leaves fall about their feet, and when they left, they left together.

IV/Cannula
hehe this is for day 1 of mediwhumpmay, which I am now posting in October
tw: emeto, hospital setting
“Hey, there you are. Keep those eyes open for me, Blackwood.”
“Mmm…wh?”
Everything feels so, so heavy—god, he can barely see. His eyes must drift closed again, because before he knows it, the voice is back, this time pinching the skin on the inside of his arm.
“Eyes open, Martin, come on.” Pinching again.
Gauging his responsiveness, he knows. The thought floats above the whirling pool of all the others. His eyes flutter open, an effort to reassure the voice he slowly comes to recognize as the voice of his junior partner, Ben.
“Ff…fuck,” he moans, squeezing his eyes shut as soon as he opens them. The vertigo was too much to bear—and with an awful rising feeling in his gut, he curls further onto his side and vomits.
The effort of this exhausts him, and he must lose time, for the next thing he is aware of is the earth rumbling beneath him. He prepares mentally for the end of the world, again—but upon fluttering his eyes open again, he discovers that the ambulance had just hit a bump in the road.
Ambulance. I’m at…work.
He snaps his eyes open again at the thought, attempting to sit up, only to find himself strapped into something.
The stretcher.
“Lie back, Martin, just relax—“
Darkness.
Jon hates the hospital. Hates it.
He would do just about anything to avoid coming here, especially to A&E. The crowding, the noise, the smell of antiseptic…the desperation of all the people waiting for hours upon hours to be seen.
He doesn’t understand how Martin can cope with this every day.
It’s already been a long walk from the train station, and Jon’s heart is pounding—from this as well as the call that he’d received from Ben, telling him that his husband collapsed on the job and is being cared for here.
Jon knew he shouldn’t have gone into work that day. And he’d told him as much, many times. Martin had been ill over the holidays, but due to the nature of his work, had needed to go in anyway. Especially with the increased number of accidents, injuries, and illnesses that tend to make themselves known during this season. Added to that, a bug had been working its way through their ranks, taking down one medic after the next. Martin had assured Jon that he felt alright enough to cover for his indisposed coworkers, but…
Obviously, that had not been the case.
With a sigh, Jon leans a little heavier upon his cane, still in the triage queue. He needs to calm down, not let this frustration get the better of him. As much as an “I told you so” might be warranted here…god knows Martin had spared him many such conversations that Jon himself had certainly deserved.
At last, the person behind the desk waves him forward.
“I’m here to see my husband, please.”
“Name?”
“Martin Blackwood-Sims. I was told he’s in bay thirty-three.”
“Hmm…” They click around on their computer a few times before looking back up at him. “Looks like he’s on respiratory precautions. Please take a mask to protect yourself.”
Jon sighs, the anger bubbling up in his chest again.
I told you, Martin. I told you.
Not helpful.
He swallows it the best that he can, fitting the loops of the mask over his ears before following the nurse through the double doors.
“Straight back this way, and you should see him,” the nurse says, and turns back to their post.
Jon hadn’t needed the directions. From where he entered, he saw him—his husband, pale faced, propped up on several pillows and getting an IV placed.
Be calm. Breathe. Breathe.
Jon hates this; god he hates it here—and he’s absolutely livid that Martin never listens to him, and now look where it’s gotten him. Now they both have to be here, with all the people and the noise and the memories—
He feels suddenly quite weightless in the relentless onslaught of emotions, and wishes desperately for somewhere to sit. Not by Martin, not quite yet. Everything is all tangled up in itself, in the past, in the fear of this place. And his husband needs him calm. Calm and supportive, just as Martin has done so many times for him.
Braced against the wall of the corridor and his cane, Jon allows his eyes to fall closed, to focus on his breath for a moment. It’s just this breath. And the next. And the next.
Bless Martin for teaching him this technique.
When he opens his eyes, he feels a gentle wave of calm. Not perfect, but it will get him through and allow him to be there for Martin, who is now alone in his bay, eyes closed and exhausted.
That is, until they reopen and alight on Jon, walking toward him. Immediately, Martin’s hands reach up to cover his face—the tips of his ears reddening with shame, even as the rest of him retains that unnerving pallor.
“Oh God, Jon, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry.”
“Martin…”
“I swear I didn’t mean to—to cause such a fuss, I didn’t—“
”Martin,” Jon pleads, more forcefully this. Time as he eyes his oxygen saturation on the monitor. “Breathe, habibi. You’re alright.”
As the monitor starts to alarm, Martin seems to realize that he’s gasping for air—and that sets him into a coughing fit, worse even than he’d been showing at home. Jon’s stomach drops just listening. And even more so when a nurse comes in to silence the alarm, reaching for the plastic tubing of the nasal cannula that Jon knows all too well.
“That’s quite the nasty cough there, Mr. Blackwood.”
Jon is hit with another sudden wave of irritation—obviously, its a bad cough, obviously, that’s why he’s in the damn A&E.
He needs to calm down before he snaps at someone and makes the whole damned situation even worse.
“Sorry,” Martin croaks, the fit ending. “I’m alright, I—sorry.”
“No need to apologize love. Just keep that oxygen on, alright?”
Saying this, the nurse leaves, and Martin sinks further into his bed, exhausted. Jon’s heart twinges painfully, and he extends his hand to Martin’s—and just as he’d hoped, Martin opens his eyes at the contact, smile weary but warm as he takes his hand in turn.
“What happened, Martin?” Jon asks, desperately. “Ben called me, you know. Told me you collapsed.”
“Oh no—no, love, I’m alright, really, I’m okay. Just took a bit of a tumble.”
Martin gives him another embarrassed smile, trying to sit up straighter, and Jon can’t take it anymore.
“If that’s what you want to call it, fine,” he snaps.
He regrets it immediately. Martin’s face is stricken, smile disappearing, eyes wide.
“I-I’m sorry, Jon—“
“No, Martin, I—“
“Are you okay?”
Martin leans closer, putting his other hand over Jon’s, the one with the IV. Still so pale, clammy. And concerned. Martin is worrying over him, even here while he’s the one in the hospital bed.
Jon takes a deeper breath than he has since he received the phone call, closing his eyes  as Martin gently squeezes his hand between both of his own.
Oh, Martin.
“Thank you,” says Martin softly, “for being here with me, habibi. I know this is…a difficult place for you to be. So thank you.”
That is too much, far too much.
“Don’t thank me,”  Jon chokes around a lump in his throat he can’t quite swallow. “Don’t. I’m so sorry, I shouldn’t have snapped, it’s just...”
“Memories.”
“Yes.”
Martin squeezes his hand again, and Jon opens his eyes. Still there, still Martin, despite everything. Jon moves closer, using his free hand to brush Martin’s sweat soaked hair back from his forehead.
“I’m here for you, habibi. I’m sorry.”
“And I’m here for you,” Martin replies earnestly, breaking off momentarily to muffle a chest-rattling cough into his elbow. “We can…we can b—ha, both...”
“Shh, hush now,” Jon whispers lowly, reaching for the call light on Martin’s bed.
“We…we’ve got…each other,” Martin pants, letting Jon anxiously fuss over his blankets and his nasal cannula.
“I know, darling.” He rests a gentle hand on Martin’s laboring chest, a reminder that he’s here, he’s here.
“I know.”

day 4 - minute
fandom: dead by daylight
paring: pyramid head x gn! reader
warnings: none
wc: 666
12 day writing challenge
Tumblr media
the sound of the gong shook the ground beneath your feet, orange molten-like lights cracking through the Earth as it rumbled violently. “shit, shit…” you hissed, hurrying your digging inside the chest. you pushed aside pieces of scrap, wood shavings, and rusted tools until you finally grabbed the handle of something. a purple medkit stared you in the face, a sigh of relief leaving you as you quickly stood. upon making your way out of the worn shack, you spotted nea headed your way.
thank the gods she was okay. you knew she could hold her own, but sometimes the killers treated her ruthlessly because of her snarky attitude towards them. “nea! is dwight okay?” you were quick to ask, the beanie-wearing woman nodding in response. “yeah, he should be grabbing a gate by now.” nea responded, looking to the item in your hand. she whistled approvingly, “nice find. now we’ve gotta bounce.” she jerked her thumb over her shoulder. you nodded, quickly following after the girl.
a gunshot-like sound pierced the air, drawing you and nea’s attention. the two of you shared a look before bolting in the direction the sound had come from. upon rounding the large scrap wall, a large pyramid headed figure was seen chasing dwight. the poor guy was panicking as he ran, his eyes blown wide as he narrowly missed another field of torment that tore its way through the ground for him.
“shit… i got enough juice for one more save.” nea gestured to the flashlight she held, a small purple band at the end of the handle. “i’ll get the gate then help you two out. i’ll leave this bad boy nearby too for dwight.” you nodded. with that, the two of you parted ways. as you pulled the lever down, you could hear dwight doing his best to keep pyramid head off him.
the large door shuddered before sliding open. you quickly set down the medkit before going to join nea and dwight, dwight’s scream echoing throughout the air once he was struck down. you waited for the queue to help, seeing nea crouched behind a car waiting for the moment to strike.
pyramid head bent down to pick up dwight by the waistband, hauling the male over his shoulder. just then, nea hopped out and shined her flashlight at the killer. “this is for kate, asshole!” she shouted. a groan-like sound left the male, dwight quickly dropping to the ground as pyramid head used his arm to shield where his eyes would be.
you dashed forward, slinging dwight’s arm over your shoulder to haul the male to the exit. he called your name in shock, nea joining the two of you on dwights other side. the three of you hauled ass to the gate, pyramid head not too far behind. once you crossed the threshold, you handed dwight off to nea. “go, i’ll be right behind you guys.”
nea furrowed her brows, sending you a look before turning to leave. dwight frowned, “be careful, you don’t have much time left…” he wheezed out. the two of them passed into the fog, disappearing as the Entity returned them to the campfire.
exhaling shakily, you picked up the purple medkit you had left in the gate. behind you, the sound of metal dragging along the concrete sent shivers down your spine. “sorry about that pyra, you know we have to play fair.” you spoke over your shoulder, turning to face the larger figure. pyramid head simply ‘stared’ down at you, his head tilted ever so slightly. of course he understood, that’s how most trials went after all.
you placed your hand on his arm, giving it a gentle squeeze. “i’ll see you later, okay?” you murmured, giving him a faint smile. the gong reverberated through the map once more, reminding you that time was indeed almost up like dwight had warned. with that, you turned to let the fog envelop you and bring you back to the other survivors.
