#to the right of it means i hit right but thats not always correct 😭😭

Hello! I saw this about another fandom and thought I would love to see it with toh, can I ask for some hcs about the modern social media pressence of them? (Any you want, but my favorites are king and the veterans but in their young version, like eda, raine and lilith) about, how they spend their time online, their favorite app, how they are on instagram?, or their texting style. Ty!

I seperated everyone so that no one gets confused :)

Edit: omg, why did this take me so long??? 😭 😭 😭

I'm so sorry you had to wait this long for your request to be posted, and I'm sorry to the seven other people in my inbox that left a request 😭

I'll try to write it as quickly as possible, but writers block is hitting me like a brick rn 😔

Eda Clawthorne!

I'd say she'd be pretty well known, has a good amount of followers

She's not famous by any means, but there are a few teasing comments from her classmates and or friends. For example: "Oh my god, is that (insert her username)! Can I get an autograph???" Y'know, stuff like that

I'd say she's chronically online, constantly quoting the latest memes and is sort of up to the trends. Would do the typical dumb dares people have made up, but is always doing them on the brink of the trends end

I'd say her favorite app is... Tiktok? Yeah, looks like she'd be obsessed with that app

Knows more about the news and global warming and all of the stuff that the adults are supposed to hear and worry about. I'd feel like she'd have multiple weird facts pop up on her FYP and would either spill the horrors of her 'fun facts' to her mother, or would run to Lilith to tell her yet another fun fact she managed to find

And as for the Instagram bit, as previously stated, she'd have quite the amount of followers. I'd feel like she would post her 'epic stunts' that she did in the backyard, you could hear a faint voice of her mom yelling her full name before she cuts the video short. Also is the type of person to post horrendous memes on her page (I am guilty of that crime 😔)

She always leaves encouraging comments on her friends Instagram posts and stuff, I feel like I should put that in

As for her texting style, it's caos. No commas, no new rows, no punctuation, no nothing. Literally texts like this

hey lilly mom said we r gonna get mcdonlds be out of UR ruum in 5 mins

She knows grammar and has the ability to type correctly, she just doesn't feel like being grammatically correct when texting. It's your problem you can't read it 😒

Lilith Clawthorne!

Is actually pretty famous... Well, at least on her other profile

She's that 'aesthetic smart girl' you see on your page that never shows her face. Also does bomb powerpoint presentations and posts them on her account (ppl eat that stuff upppp)

Eda would be the only one to know about her secret account and she swears to keep her mouth shut. Although the secret account does slip out of Edas mind often, so Lilith doesn't have to worry all that much about the word spreading

But, on her main account which she shares with her friends... It's literally just her friends. Of course, you have her sister and people she hangs out with/is cool with, as well as her club members, but thats pretty much it

On her main, she mostly posts stuff about her school and her successes, such as the awards she gets in contests of the medals/trophies she recives

Again, Eda will the the one hyping her up in her comments, but she doesn't dare to hype her up on her secret account, as to not rish accidentally spilling the beans in the comments somehow

For her favorite app... I'd have to say: 'Instagram'. I would've said Pinterest but it doesn't quite sit right with me fully... Instagram feels like a better fit

Always scrolling through reels, but also opens Tiktok from time to time (specifically to search for the memes Eda is quoting so that she isn't as confused)

Texts normally, like how you'd see people text on the daily. But, if she's mad, I can also see her writing painfully grammatically correct sentences with words that everybody forgets the meaning of

No, I'm not gonna set an example because that's too much thinking.

Raine Whispers!

Raine would be avarege in the followers count. They wouldn't be all that famous, but they also wouldn't be completely invisible

Definitely is the type of person to have their account private for a few years before toughening up and macking their account public. That was oddly specific but we'll move on

They'd mostly post selfies with their friends, of course an occasional recording of their progress with their violin as well as some bard magic tricks (like that whistling in the cup)

Doesn't get that many comments on their posts, but when they do they make sure to either like it or fully reply

Isn't as chronically online as Eda but is up to date with the memes. Is always able to quote with or continue a quote Eda began. Trends always somehow end up on their for you page when they're scrolling on Tiktok

Favorite app? Oddly enough: 'Twitter' 'X'. Loves to read the drama people have, and when there is nothing to do they just scroll onto people's accounts

And for the texting style: the perfect middle. Just enough punctuation to make it make sense, but not too formal to make it look like a business e-mail

[neowinestainedress]

hehe i guess i should bring this here ><

please forgive them they're two dumb bitches

😭😭 but also adorably cute dumb bitches that make us feeling giddy 😭😭 i will forgive then for that

i love the concept of stoner!hyuck but i always think i'll write high/drunk characters in terrible ways so unfortunately this is all you're going to get from me

dare i say... i cooked with this haechan?

well at least you know where your strength is and USE IT WELL. As for a reader like me i'll just consume anything about hyuck that can show how hot and attractive he is 😩😩❤️‍🔥 so i'm not gonna complain (even from the start too tbh!!)

tbh i think i pictured him with just a shirt he was wearing underneath but you know what... i love this different point of view!!!

HSHDLDHSLSJ NAURRRR tbh i do think oh maybe hes just wearing the white shirt but since no more explanation given and my mind already travel to them making out in the kitchen (WHICH HAPPENED BUT NOT QUITE cuz damn imagine two sexy scenes consecutively) but he he he 😳😳

unfortunately i love this dynamic way too much and i think it shows... oops...

IT DOES AND I LOVE IT TOO SO YEAHH PLEASE KEEP GOING ✊🏻✊🏻

I'M SORRY BUT I LOVE HOW YOU SAID "here's the crucial part" ten times lmao i'm sorry for making you suffer

HELPCJSUSKS THE WAY I ACTUALLY TOOK A WHOLE DAY TO READ THE FULL FIC (i even open my notes to jot down where i wanna comment, so after done, i just copy paste) BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE I'M RIDING A REAL LIFE ROLLER COASTER BUT I GOT TO PAUSE AND BREATHE AND DO MY OTHER THINGS IN BETWEEN BECAUSE DAMN 🥵🥵 THE TENSIONS, VERY ADVENTUROUS RIDE I WILL SAY

THANK YOU OMG AOJSOAOSA

you deserve ALL OF MY COMPLIMENTS the way i dont even bother to correct my typos cuz thats how i feel when i wrote them right after reading the part so you can feel the feeling im trying to deliver to you 🥹🥹

CONGRATULATIONS! you predicted the future

I CHEERED WHEN I READ THE AFTER MANY YEARS PART LIKE OMGGGG THATS MY COUPLE!!!!

omg i really traumatized people with hits different 😭😭😭 but i've been good this time, i think i should be forgiven

oh you do!! (i mean youre forgiven!) even if you repeat the angst, i would still cheer too cuz every night i would create a (hurt comfort) story about unrequited love with (or haechan as fill in) before i go to sleep, just to feel the pain

THIS!!! i hate when rivals/enemies get together and the tension dies i needed to make sure this wasn't the case!

YEAAA LIKE PLS KEEP THE COMPETITION ON IT IS WHAT THE AUDIENCES HERE FOR

wait is this a pov question or am i just stupid and you're saying you love them so much they're you're parents 😭

I DON'T ALWAYS GO AROUND CAUSING HEARTBREAK I PROMISE!!!

NO NOOO ITS THE LATTER ONEEE 😭😭 I LOVE THEM SO MUCH THEYRE LIKE MY PARENTS TOO

AND YESSS OF COURSE YOU DONT AND THANK YOU FOR THAT, not that i mind too but YESSS EVERY STORY DESERVE THE HAPPY ENDING ON THE SPOT AND YOU ALWAYS DO JUSTICE TO ALL YOUR FICS

DON'T WORRY! i love reading about your thoughts and it doesn't matter if it comes out a year after i posted the fic, i will always enjoy reading it! i'm glad you liked it, i love academic rivals to lovers but i'm also picky with this trope so to know someone who enjoys it loved this fic makes me really happy.

I JUST FEEL BAD CUZ I DO COME HERE AND READ OTHER FICS BUT IDK WHEN IT COMES TO SUPER GOOD FICS THAT I KNOW AND AIM TO READ DURING MY VERY FREE TIME WHERE NO ONE SHOULD DISTURB ME, I WILL REALLY TAKE TIME. but somehow i feel like i took too much time this time and i just decided to read it two days ago even when at first i read it at night before working and continue at my workplace and the night after (hence why i said i really took a whole day to finish it) and somehow im glad i decided to read it already. YOU'RE SO TRUEEE LIKE THIS TROPE ISNT SOME KIND OF GENRE THAT YOU CAN JUST WRITE IT EASILY TO KEEP THE FIRE ALIVE UNTIL THE END. thats why it's hard to find this trope with a very very good momentum from the start until the end. AND WHEN I SAW YOU FINALLY ANNOUNCING TO WRITE THIS TROPE MONTHS AGO, I FEEL SO HAPPY I REALLY WANNA SAVE IT FOR THE BEST TIME 🥹🥹 and i didnt regret i put my expectation on you BECAUSE IT DOES BEYOND MY EXPECTATION 🥹💖💖

SO PEOPLE GET THE DETAILS I PUT IN THIS OMG THANK YOU!!! i mean i know it's stupid because if you bias haechan this are known things and i know that's why people don't come gag in my asks or comments and be like "omg you put this" but i still have to think about it and to write everything in a way it makes sense so i'm happy when people point it out 😭 OKAY I EVEN HAVE A SCENE OF THEM CALLING THEMSELVES WITH NICKNAMES "BEAR" AND "HONEY" THAT WOULD BE SO CORNY BUT ALSO CUTEEEEEE no no i agree and i LOVE THIS OMG it's canon that that's how they have each other saved in the contacts idc

AND GUESS WHO FINALLY COME BACK TO IG AND POSTING PICTURES THAT FIT SO MUCH WITH THIS FIC I FEEL SO LUCKY READING THIS FIC AROUND THIS TIME AND HAECHAN POSTING PICS DURING AUTUMN CUZ YEA I KNOW I LIVE IN TROPICAL COUNTRY BUT I LOVE AUTUMN SEASON THE MOST AND HAECHAN IS JUST SO BEAR AND THE SEASON FITS HIM THE MOST 😭😭 I WANNA CRY!!! noOO I THINK ONE THING ABOUT SFS IS, WE WILL ALWAYS BE PROUD OF HAECHAN'S REFERENCES BE IT SMALL OR BIG. I LOVE LOVE IT SO MUCH WHEN PEOPLE DESCRIBES HIS BRAND ALTHO WE ALL ALREADY HAVE IT ALL PICTURE IN OUR HEAD BUT TO READ THE DETAILS OF IT??? OH ITS MY FAVOURITE THING!! i almost forgot to say it but then i read back my reblogged and I WAS LIKE WAIT I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT YAYY IM HAPPY I MADE YOUR DAY TOO!! OMG OMG YOU'RE MAKING ME ALL GIDDY FOR GIVING THE FREE CANON GLSHSLSHD THAT IS JUST SO CUTE PLEASE PLEASEEEEEE *huffing a deep breathe* i just... love haechan brands so much like everything just fit like a puzzle pieces like... 🥹🥹 to the point I REALLY THINK THIS UNIVERSE REVOLVE AROUND HIM LIKE WHEN PEOPLE SAID "stop including haechan in this or that" I WILL WANT TO SCREAM "YEAA BUT DO EVER MEET A PERSON WHO HAS A CONSTELLATION MOLES WHICH CREATE A SMALL DIPPER WHICH ALSO KNOWN AS LITTLE BEAR AND HAECHAN IS JUST A WARM AND CUTE BEAR IN DISGUISE OF HOOMAN AND THEN THERE IS THIS BEAR CALLED SUN BEAR AND SUN AND BEAR ARE YELLOWISH ORANGE AND BROWN AND SO DOES SUNFLOWER AND SUNFLOWER LOOK UP TO SUN TO STAY ALIVE AND THE COLOUR PALETTE REMINDS YOU OF AUTUMN AND SUMMER AND HAECHAN IS, AGAIN, A WARM BEAR, THAT CAN MEAN AN IDEAL BOYFRIEND/MAN WITH COMFY SWEATER THATS NICE TO HUG DURING COLD WEATHER AND HIS SKIN IS GLOWING AND THAT REMINDS YOU OF SUMMER AND ITS HOT AND HAECHAN IS HOT--" goddamn i will never shut up about haechan brands but i need to stop myself or this will be so damn long

the friendship wasn't even that present at the start but i really wanted her to find a group of people so here we are... yeah lmao i kinda forgot about it and i have the profiles half done (tbh i only had in mind to post the after of haechan and the mc, but simply because i have to make two of them if i want to add the reader and it would take time) i also have to post the song project design. i'll try to post it next week!

yeaa i noticed that but then i thought maybe in the 2nd part she will include it cuz i remembered being excited of yangyang to be included in aside from the usual dream members (yes i have a very soft spot for yangyang if its not obvious already) AND YESS LIKE I SAID I KNOW SHE has a time where she feel insecure and there's a hints where she mentions of how she is back in past, like the struggles, things that she left behind, so im really sure youll add the friendship no matter what too somewhere near the end and its not out of nowhere, it just fit with the flow of the plot. AND OHHH YOU CAN TAKE YOUR TIME WITH THAT, i was just asking anyway cuz i stumbled upon those profiles again when i was looking for the masterpost (well lowkey looking forward to jeno's relationship with you know... his loverboy and yangyang too)

thank you so so so much for this! you have no idea how happy it makes me to know you like my writing so much! (toxic!hyuck is something we don't talk about around here (no but seriously we came a long way lol)) love you! 💙

MY PLEASUREEEE AND LIKE I SAID YOU DESERVE ALL OF IT AND I MEAN IT!!! 💞💞 and trueee hahaahaha i think i started leaving you feedback like this from that series too but yeaa we dont talk in details about that WE GOTTA TALK ABOUT POSITIVE HAECHAN CHARACTERS ONLY TO KEEP THE VIBES UP 🤭🤭 love you back too!! 🧡

moving to asks was a wise idea

well at least you know where your strength is and USE IT WELL. As for a reader like me i'll just consume anything about hyuck that can show how hot and attractive he is 😩😩❤️‍🔥 so i'm not gonna complain (even from the start too tbh!!)

as a reader i do the same unfortunately as a writer i’m too aware of what i do to don’t care sigh

HSHDLDHSLSJ NAURRRR tbh i do think oh maybe hes just wearing the white shirt but since no more explanation given and my mind already travel to them making out in the kitchen (WHICH HAPPENED BUT NOT QUITE cuz damn imagine two sexy scenes consecutively) but he he he 😳😳

i wanted to say “if he had no shirt on she wouldn’t have stopped” but tbh haechan is so sezy even all dressed with no skin showing i think it was a struggle anyway

IT DOES AND I LOVE IT TOO SO YEAHH PLEASE KEEP GOING ✊🏻✊🏻

AND I WON’T STOP!!!

HELPCJSUSKS THE WAY I ACTUALLY TOOK A WHOLE DAY TO READ THE FULL FIC (i even open my notes to jot down where i wanna comment, so after done, i just copy paste) BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE I'M RIDING A REAL LIFE ROLLER COASTER BUT I GOT TO PAUSE AND BREATHE AND DO MY OTHER THINGS IN BETWEEN BECAUSE DAMN 🥵🥵 THE TENSIONS, VERY ADVENTUROUS RIDE I WILL SAY

you deserve ALL OF MY COMPLIMENTS the way i dont even bother to correct my typos cuz thats how i feel when i wrote them right after reading the part so you can feel the feeling im trying to deliver to you 🥹🥹

no i agree typos just make it even more real and show exactly how one’s feeling at the moment

oh you do!! (i mean youre forgiven!) even if you repeat the angst, i would still cheer too cuz every night i would create a (hurt comfort) story about unrequited love with (or haechan as fill in) before i go to sleep, just to feel the pain

ah yes the scenarios before going to sleep, my beloved 🥰(they will ruin my life one day)

YEAAA LIKE PLS KEEP THE COMPETITION ON IT IS WHAT THE AUDIENCES HERE FOR

my fics are REALLY long tho so i understand if people need time, and tbh i prefer to know people want to sit down and READ yk? it would be easy to just skim through it, maybe just read the smut scenes and leave, but taking time to read and enjoy what i write means everything to me. don’t tell you boss that! i’m happy it didn’t let you down! i was terrified of letting myself down too, also because it’s such a specific trope i’m not sure i could write another fic similar to this without feeling like copying it yk?  

AND GUESS WHO FINALLY COME BACK TO IG AND POSTING PICTURES THAT FIT SO MUCH WITH THIS FIC I FEEL SO LUCKY READING THIS FIC AROUND THIS TIME AND HAECHAN POSTING PICS DURING AUTUMN CUZ YEA I KNOW I LIVE IN TROPICAL COUNTRY BUT I LOVE AUTUMN SEASON THE MOST AND HAECHAN IS JUST SO BEAR AND THE SEASON FITS HIM THE MOST 😭😭 I WANNA CRY!!! noOO I THINK ONE THING ABOUT SFS IS, WE WILL ALWAYS BE PROUD OF HAECHAN'S REFERENCES BE IT SMALL OR BIG.

IKR??? HE SAID “GUESS WHO’S A MUSIC MAJOR OVERWORKING HIMSELF ON A PROJECT WITH HIS ENEMY?” i feel like I have many readers from tropical countries i need to stop being too specific with months in my stories and just say the season lmao. everything you said!!! i couldn’t have said it better! everything about him is just so nice and pretty and fits him so well (like dub, obviously but it REALLY fits him)

yeaa i noticed that but then i thought maybe in the 2nd part she will include it cuz i remembered being excited of yangyang to be included in aside from the usual dream members (yes i have a very soft spot for yangyang if its not obvious already) AND YESS LIKE I SAID I KNOW SHE has a time where she feel insecure and there's a hints where she mentions of how she is back in past, like the struggles, things that she left behind, so im really sure youll add the friendship no matter what too somewhere near the end and its not out of nowhere, it just fit with the flow of the plot. AND OHHH YOU CAN TAKE YOUR TIME WITH THAT, i was just asking anyway cuz i stumbled upon those profiles again when i was looking for the masterpost (well lowkey looking forward to jeno's relationship with you know... his loverboy and yangyang too)

i feel like this story could’ve made a great series and i could’ve dug deeper into all the other characters and their relationships too but me and series don’t have a great history (also i know it’s bad to say, but i feel they are rarely successful, already having to split this in two didn’t make it do great numbers, more chapters would’ve done worse. and i write because i like it but it also takes time so i’m not happy when fics flop) i need to put yangyang in more things and give him more space, my baby. yeah i wanted the mc to find friendship even before finding love, yk, also to show that they completely welcome each other in their lives because haechan was so close with his friends if he didn’t care about her he would’ve never dragged her with him (if when it was for his flop plan) yeah i couldn’t do it this week rip. no of course, i put it there so it’s normal to ask, i just forget about stuff lol MY LOVES RENJUN AND JENO

MY PLEASUREEEE AND LIKE I SAID YOU DESERVE ALL OF IT AND I MEAN IT!!! 💞💞 and trueee hahaahaha i think i started leaving you feedback like this from that series too but yeaa we dont talk in details about that WE GOTTA TALK ABOUT POSITIVE HAECHAN CHARACTERS ONLY TO KEEP THE VIBES UP 🤭🤭 love you back too!! 🧡

thank you again! and sorry if it took me a while to reply 💞

[sometimesanalice]

Jordaaaannnn! It's your fault this universe exists- and they're still not together yet in it??!-- I hope you're proud of yourself because They are YEARNING and PINING in perpetuity!

that knit polo is driving me absolutely insane. idk how sg and her pregnancy hormones did not jump him the second he walked into the nursery because 😮‍💨 i just know the sleeves are kinda tight around his biceps and then the fact that she likes his cologne “you smell nice too” when everything else smells awful to her is CRAZY? goodnight-- those sleeves are absolutely clinging to his biceps, like he could have sized up, but he really knew what he was doing with that size down. SG in this universe too doesn't have the smoothest of ride with her pregnancy symptoms, so he's usually taking care if he knows he's going to see her to not have anything heavily scented on, like the most is the smell of the laundry detergent on his clothes, so that's the first time in a long while she's smelled his cologne 🤭

His warm, brown eyes remind you of home. - those goddamn cow eyes of his!!! lieutenant commander cow eyes!-- such a tender gaze from him to right there!! and like you can't tell me he doesn't feel extra protective over her like this! he's like it's my responsibility to take care of you!

He rubs the back of his neck, his eyes darting away from you. "I was, uh, on a date with someone Nat knows from her kickboxing classes." // Bradley had kept his weekend free for you, not that you'd asked him too. - okay okay okay but here me out, it’s like in the original LIC universe where she’s always canceling dates to hang out with bradley!?!! you’re SICK-- she didn't know because he didn't tell her! she would have definitely called someone else to help scoop her off the floor. But also you're so right, like if she invites him to go do something with her and the peanut? he's moving things around without saying a word, his calendar is magically always free for them.

"Hey now, woah," he says, cupping your face. "None of that, kid.” - the peter k of it all jesus i’m swooning-- boys with curly brown hair 🤝 woah, woah, woah

You chose to have the baby on your own, without your shitty ex, but that didn't mean you were going to be doing it alone. - that’s his family! it’s like what we say with mav “that’s his dad, that’s his dad” well that’s bradley’s family, that’s bradley’s family!-- that is bradley's familyyyyy 😭 those are his girls!! his favorites! he also knows what it's like for a single mom (omg, the connection here just hit me) and he doesn't take the fact that he convinced her to give san diego a try lightly when she could have moved home closer to her mom.

"Come here," Bradley murmurs, tugging you to his chest. He holds you as tight as he thinks he can without squishing the baby. The firm, rounded swell of your stomach pressing against his flat one. - THIS VISUAL!?! with him smelling so good and wearing that tight and soft lil knit polo!?! and little sweet girl between them!??-- it's SO much to think about.

“And that little peanut is going to be so lucky to have you." - PEANUT CONFIRMATION!! and then she KICKS!?! because dad is there!?! enough!!!-- did he also download one of those little fruit tracker things on his phone to see how much she's growing every week and what's going on for SG at that stage?? YOU BETTER BELIEVE HE DID!! He's like asking penny questions when things are quiet at the hard deck.

"I think she's happy you're here." "'Course she is," he rasps thickly. "I'm going to be her favorite." - THATS HIS KID THATS HIS KID (is he in the delivery room with her? i need to know)-- the peanut knows before they do! lmao! and yes, he is! it's her mom and him, and of course all the drs and nurses think he's the father, but he doesn't correct them. (he also brings the baby her first stuffed animal, a bunny with soft, floppy ears) he also moves in for a bit after her mom goes back home. Her mom stays with them for a month, and after she leaves he basically moves into the spare bedroom saying it's only for a couple weeks, but he stays much longer until she teasingly evicts him because he needs his extra firm mattress.

"Thank you, Rooster." - girl i’m gonna scream if you don’t call him bradley!! --🤭

It makes his heart twinge in an unexpected way when he sees you running your hand over your belly, looking down at it with the softest of smiles on your face…. And he'll be there right by your side. The best Uncle Rooster he can be. - that’s his family that’s his family!! ugh the first uncle rooster mention too! god he loves herrrrrrrr-- he was there at the beginning and he's going to be there for it allllll! NOW IF ONLY THEY COULD FINALLY GET IT TOGETHER!!

oooo okay i have a prompt 💁🏼‍♀️ for the au version of bradley and sweet girl (and the little nugget!):

❝  well,  i do feel a little better now that you’re here.  ❞

Jordan! You know how soft I am about them! (in every universe, but especially that one!) I hope you like this! 🫶🏼

You will never not be happy to see Bradley Bradshaw, but seeing him walk though the open door of the in-progress nursery might be the best thing that's happened to you all day.

It's not even the large styrofoam cup you spy in his hand from your favorite milkshake spot, it's just him.

"You look nice," you sniffle from where you're seated on the floor, screws scattered around you like confetti.

"And you look stuck," he says gently, giving you a soft smile. Setting the cup on top of the dresser he'd built for you a few weeks ago. "Need a hand, kid?"

You nod, sure that you look more than a little pitiful right now.

Bradley has to press his lips together to keep from chuckling at just how adorably dejected you look, sitting there with your large bump and splayed legs.

All you'd wanted was to get the crib you'd ordered put together. You were in your third trimester and feeling more than a little useless in your own body. You'd just wanted to prove to yourself that you were still capable of doing things on your own.

And it had been going fine, until you'd accidentally dropped the open bag of screws on the floor. Too many to squat and pick up, you'd carefully lowered yourself down, only to realize you couldn't get yourself back up on your own.

You'd given up after your fifth attempt, teary and frustrated, and called Rooster.

He reaches down with his strong, sure hands to help you up off the ground. Pulling you up so easily, like it's nothing, that you're reminded all over again just how pathetic you've been feeling lately.

"You smell nice too," you say glumly, realizing you haven't showered yet today, as he helps steady you back on your own two feet.

"Stop you're going to make me blush."

"I thought the morning sickness was supposed to go away," you sigh. "But that guy from accounting dropped by my office earlier today, the one I told you about with the bad cologne, and I was nauseous the rest of the day."

His warm, brown eyes remind you of home. And as tough as it had been to uproot your life, it had been worth it to be closer to your best friend and favorite person. You've only been here for a few months, but you already loved San Diego.

Rooster makes a sympathetic sound. "He's the worst."

"He really is. He's also a mansplainer, so that's two strikes against him." You look at Bradley, looking very handsome in the knit polo he was wearing, and feel even more like a wreck in your very oversized tshirt, the hem of your stretchy shorts just barely peeking out from underneath it. "But you didn’t answer, why are you all gussied up?"

He rubs the back of his neck, his eyes darting away from you. "I was, uh, on a date with someone Nat knows from her kickboxing classes."

"Oh. Oh no, Rooster. I'm so sorry." More tears flooding your eyes at the guilt of ruining his night. You thought you'd already cried them all out before he'd got there, but apparently you still had more left in you.

Bradley's stomach twists at the sight of your lower lip wobbling, kicking himself for not bending the truth because the last thing he wanted to do was make you feel bad.

"Hey now, woah," he says, cupping your face. "None of that, kid. You rescued me from an awkward date with a woman who was still very clearly hung up on her ex."

"Still, I really am sorry. I don't want my mess to become yours."

He gives you a look you don't know what to make of. "Why didn't you wait for me, kid. I told you I'd swing by this weekend to help with all of this."

Bradley had kept his weekend free for you, not that you'd asked him too. He knew you were stressed about wanting to get the nursery in order, one less thing for you to think about. He was excited to see it come together, was looking forward to hanging up that little felt seagull mobile he'd bought for you as a baby shower gift.

At that godawful dinner, he'd nearly shot out of his chair at the watery warble of your voice, concerned that something had happened to you or the baby. He was more than happy to help, he wanted you to lean on him for these things. You chose to have the baby on your own, without your shitty ex, but that didn't mean you were going to be doing it alone.

"I thought I could handle it. It's just some prefab wood and shit," you huff with agitation. "I wanted to feel useful. But then I dropped the bag of screws and well..." You trial off and just gesture to the spot he'd found you, you'd left the screws on the floor out of spite.

You're just so tired. All the time. Tired and overwhelmed.

The tears fall on their own again, a mix of hormones and emotions. "Bradley, what was I thinking? I'm going to be a mom. This little person is going to depend on me and I couldn't even get off the floor." You're embarrassed when your voice cracks.

"Come here," Bradley murmurs, tugging you to his chest. He holds you as tight as he thinks he can without squishing the baby. The firm, rounded swell of your stomach pressing against his flat one.

You tuck your face into the space at the base of his neck. His woodsy smell more soothing than lavender could ever be.

Rooster runs his hand up and down your back. "You're growing a whole person in there. You need to yourself some slack. You aren't a mess. And that little peanut is going to be so lucky to have you."

You squeeze your eyes tight and nod. Trying to remind yourself that it's ok to be scared, because you also were excited. Excited to meet her, excited to be able to finally hold her, excited to introduce her to your best friend.

You feel your little girl shift and move inside of you. You pull away taking Bradley's hand in yours and setting it over where she's pressing against you, "I think she's happy you're here."

It's something that he doesn't think he'll ever get use to.

"'Course she is," he rasps thickly. "I'm going to be her favorite." He's still holding your hand, not ready to let go. "And you? How do you feel, kid?"

"Well, I do feel a little better now that you’re here too," you tell him, before giving him the first real smile that he's seen from you all night. "Especially since you brought me a milkshake."

He laughs and kisses the side of your head before letting you.

"Who knew you were such an easy girl to please."

You flip him off without heat, as he thumbs off the remainders of the wet tear tracks on your cheeks.

"Thank you, Rooster."

"You know I'm alway here for you," he says, squeezing your shoulder as he goes to fetch your treat.

Once he gets you set up in the oversized chair with your milkshake, he tosses you his phone and puts you on DJ duty while he works on assembling the deep brown wood spindle crib that you'd picked out.

You watch as Bradley double checks each step in the instruction booklet before he moves on to the next one. It's the most studious you've ever seen him, his tongue peeking out every now in then in concentration. The way he takes his time building the crib for your little girl, makes your chest feel warm.

You're both so lucky to have him.

Every now and then he looks over at you as he fits the pieces together. It makes his heart twinge in an unexpected way when he sees you running your hand over your belly, looking down at it with the softest of smiles on your face.

You're going to be such a good mom, he thinks to himself. And he'll be there right by your side. The best Uncle Rooster he can be.

For her, for you.

After all, you've always been his family.
