I’m imagining Hoshi sneaking under your desk at work to eat you out while you’re still trying to work. Bonus points if he keeps going even when another member shows up to your office looking for him!
i actually went insane while writing this. i hope you like it ♡
.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.・。.・゜✭・
you work in the creative team at hybe, that's how you first met hoshi.
of course you knew who he was, you're always into kpop. so you tried not to freak out and played it cool when he approached you and your older sister, who worked there too.
"noona! long time no see!" he greeted her happily. "i'm hoshi, nice to meet you." he bowed a little when talking to you.
you mimicked his actions. "Y/N, nice to meet you too." "hoshi, this is my little sister. she's working with us now." your sister said with a proud tone, making you blush. "oh, that's nice! welcome to the team." "thank you!"
you felt really shy talking to an idol, but hoshi was always sweet and he kept greeting you every time you met. he introduced you to other members and, eventually, you started to have coffee together.
you never imagined that two years later, you'd be dating him.
and you also didn't expect that he would show up to your office, after hours, and beg you to eat you out.
"soonie, we're at work." you ponder. it's past 11pm and almost everyone went home by now, but you can't risk it. "also, i have to send this in by 12."
"baby, please. i'm really horny and i need to taste you." he just finished practicing for seventeen's new comeback and came straight to you. "i promise it'll be good."
you give in when he gets on his knees. hoshi approaches you with a wicked smile and hides under the desk. you slide down your chair and he opens your legs with his warm hands.
"keep working, baby. you have a deadline to meet." he smiles smugly at you when you tilt your head back as he distributes small kisses and licks on your thighs.
you bunch your skirt up and help him take your panties off. you're trembling in expectation, thinking you actually went insane by allowing him to do this.
but then his tongue licks on your clit and your mind goes blank.
he licks and sucks your wet cunt with passion. you buck your hips and your thighs involuntarily close around his head, so hoshi grips the flesh so hard you're sure you'll have bruises.
every time your eyes meet hoshi's, you feel more slick pouring out of your hole. and with every flick of his tongue you have to stop yourself from screaming.
he drags a finger over your slit and you tremble. his tongue worked you up enough that he easily slips two fingers into you, lips wrapping around your clit.
that's when someone knocks on your door, and you gulp down the loud moan trapped on your throat.
"tell them to come in!" hoshi whispers and goes back to what he was doing. you try to look like you were working, yet you're sure you just looked messed up.
"co-come in!" you shout and Woozi appears.
"hey, Y/N! have you seen Hoshi? he's supposed to give me a ride home." the man smiles at you.
you grip the edge of the desk, trying to keep yourself grounded. your heart is beating so fast and it seems like hoshi only works faster. he keeps alternating between fucking his tongue into you and sucking your clit into his mouth.
"I'm n-not sure." you stutter, afraid of talking more and end up moaning.
"hm. weird. I assumed he came to see you, but maybe he's waiting for me in the team room." he comments and you nod, wanting him gone. "are you ok? you seem a little pale."
of course Hoshi doesn't let up, instead he starts to caress the soft spot inside your pussy. you take a deep breath before answering. "Ju-just tired."
"it's late, you should go home. and that's coming from me." Woozi chuckles and you try to follow along. "anyways, whoever finds him first, calls the other."
"yeah, will do." you reply and he leaves, remaining unsuspicious that his friend was right there.
Hoshi detaches from your pussy as soon as the door closes. "you heard him, baby. can you cum for me, so we can go home?"
your entire body feels like it's melting. Hoshi starts to fuck you with his tongue and uses his fingers to play with your clit. soon enough, you allow the knot on your stomach to be untied and cum all over his face, thick globs of arousal coming out for him to lick and gulp down like it's the best drink ever made.
his mouth is glistening when he comes up for air, his lips sporting a proud and satisfied smile. you pull him in for a kiss, tasting yourself on his tongue.
"let's go home so i can fuck you." Hoshi declares and you whimper, wanting him immediatly. "Jihoonie's waiting, and you need to finish your e-mail."
you never typed so fast in your life.

@killerhubby asked : ❛ you are my heart, my life, my one and only thought. ❜ katawina ♡
( you've never really been allowed this in your life : know it somewhere deep and down that you weren't made for LOVE , not really , but even now you find yourself indulging . it's something so GREEDY of you , you know it because you still find yourself indulging , still find yourself deeper into the ever consuming CHASM that is dante , pretending you can have a life with him . )
eyes flicker to the OTHER , mulls over her now cold americano , cigarette held loosely in between fingers , as ash falls off of it and onto the GROUND . the air's a bit chillier than she had expected , and while beige coat keeps her warm , still finds herself leaning into HIM , letting paper cup of now cold espresso rest on the GROUND . eyes flutter close , and a sigh escapes katarina's lips , body untensing as she almost seems to melt into the OTHER .
ah , what a romantic he is , even now . an amused hum escapes her lips , and brings cigarette up to her lips .
( ❛ when's the earliest i can send an extraction team ? ❜
your heart stops . level voice , even tone , but even that seems far , so far , voice doesn't even sound like yours , sounds foreign , odd , like hearing someone else in your body speak with your voice . ❛ you needn't do that , ❜ she says , so eerily calm , so peculiarly still . the darkness surrounds your body , and you feel like a STRANGER trapped in your own body . ❛ you've seemed to forget where i've come from . you don't think i could handle a MEASLY man and his worser men ? ❜ it brings bile up your throat , but you swallow it back down .
you're not sure where it came from . not really . it's something you swore away , long before since you met mirage , a mental OATH not only to special services , but to yourself . the piece you swallowed down with your pride : vengeful little girl with nothing but BLOOD on her hands and with nothing but a goal to spill more , and you know it , you know it's HER , came back so easily , so willingly --- but it's different . it's not just for her , for your survival . it's for him too .
a chuckle over the line : you can practically hear the older one rubbing at the bridge of his NOSE . good . he's as stupid as when you left him . you don't mean that . not really . but you just met someone you care about more , isn't that it ? it would've brought you comfort , especially in such a dark , small room . but it just seems empty , and dark , and you're alone . you've always been alone . ❛ you missed a status report last week . don't miss it again . ❜ and then there's a click , and it all goes silent . it's just you , the person you swore you swallowed away , and the familiar , cold , enveloping darkness to take you home . )
❛ you'll be the death of me , you know that , shakespeare ? ❜ lilting tone , as she takes another DRAG from the cigarette , before bending it gently between fingers , and drops it to the ASPHALT , to which she squashes it underfoot . ( would he still love you if he knew ? would he even look at you ? ) ❛ come on . we should get back home . ❜ stands up , and picks up cold coffee , slinging TOO EXPENSIVE bag over her shoulder , holds hand out to lover . ❛ i've had enough of pretending to like the trees here . ❜
𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚. 𝙖𝙘𝙘𝙚𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜.

Ooh okay here we go
trapped in yesterday by JennaTalbot
Ghost lock is often considered a form of living death, the patient left hopelessly in a coma with their prospects of recovery dim at best. When Lockwood gets ghost locked during a case, Lucy and George refuse to accept the only known consequences and tackle the problem head on.
Easily one of my most underrated faves, the hurt/comfort in it is top tier. Excellent angst, romance, and just generally a delightful read.
-
Being Heard by TheMalapert
A chronicle of Lucy and Lockwood’s story as told by the tapes Mrs. White plays for her daughter.
Outsider POV at its best!! By the end you'll be crying about Mrs White and want to give everyone massive hugs. Super funny, heartwarming, with just a slight touch of sadness.
-
oh, if you told me that you were down, I'd slay the beast and make your darkness turn around by tryalittlejoytomorrow
She felt Lockwood's fingers in her hair then - gently sifting through it, massaging her scalp. And then he was delicately pulling her head over his lap. "I'm not going anywhere," she thought she heard him whisper right before sleep pulled her under at last.
__
6 Times Lockwood takes care of Lucy while she's all kinds of sick
So soft!!! The absolute peak hurt/comfort! Their relationship development is done really well and the fluff really is tooth rotting.
-
The Gallows Club Conspiracy by The_Biscuit_Agreement
With George and Flo sending them on blind dates at the exact same time, in the exact same place, Lockwood and Lucy are prepared to play along with their friends tricks. Only when they show up, sure they are to be coupled up, they find things are not set to go as they expected.
One of my faves, it's such a fun idea and they do everything with it. So funny and so sweet, makes you want to melt into a puddle of goo but also whack them over the head because they're such idiots.
-
underneath the net of stars by TheMalapert
There was Lucy alright. On a bench just off the path.
She was straddling Quill Kipps and kissing him.
Lockwood drew his rapier on instinct. The metal pulsed coldly against his fingers, reminding him that it was not a good idea to go over there and stab Kipps through the heart.
The team takes a case without Lockwood, and when he finally catches up, he’s missing a few key details.
So chaotic and fun, makes you want to kick back and cackle like a maniac because everyone's so perfectly stupid but in the most endearing of ways.
-
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds by barronsfever (historyofbellarke)
Lockwood needs his wisdom teeth out. Lucy takes care of him and anesthesia makes him chatty.
Oh and George is ready to lock them in a closet if they don't get their act together.
Always love a modern AU, and this one is so funny. Literally could not stop laughing.
-
Girls, Boys, Houses by ImpossibleClair
Lockwood and George had expectations when they hired a girl to join their agency.
They were proven wrong.
Some very fun shenanigans as our favourite found family get to know one another.
-
So This Is What Makes Life Divine by OceanSpray5
"You're supposed to curtsy, princess," Lockwood teases but he rests his hand on her waist and brings the other to his shoulder before holding the other all the same.
"What are you doing, Lockwood?" Lucy whispers, afraid to break the moment if she speaks any louder, as she lets him lead her in a gentle sway.
"Dancing, of course." Lockwood smiles. It’s a cheeky grin but it's dripping with softness. "We're at a ball."
He nods his head towards her little television screen where Cinderella and her Prince Charming are dancing and Lucy laughs, her eyes twinkling with deep fondness.
"In our pajamas?"
Or, Lockwood and Lucy dance at midnight in her attic bedroom and Lucy gets her very own happily ever after.
This fic is so lovely, it's incredibly romantic in a very soft and gentle way. You absolutely feel for Lucy, and it's sweet to see her get just a small chance to embrace her inner kid.
-
These are just a small selection of great fics I grabbed from my bookmarks, there are many more fantastic ones out there.
please drop me your l&co fic recs 🥹
#sorry this is very locklyle centric bc currently I am v locklyle centric#locklyle#anthony j lockwood#lucy carlyle#george karim#fic recs#oops saved this to my drafts then forgot about it#ah well time to post before I can talk myself out of it

Out of my mind (Victor Creed x reader)
Word count: 2402
Summary: After recieving an unexpected visit in the X-Mansion, you engage in an adventure that will test your life as well as the relationship you have with a certain feral man.
~~~~~
Debris was all you could see : falling from the sky that landed dangerously near you, creating big craters. Then you saw them, both jumping, Victor first and Logan next, before they disappeared in the dust.
Running towards the mist, you came face to face with Gambit, the only mutant who had been able to escape the island "Remy?" "C' mon (Y/N), let's get you to safety" You wanted to protest, to run to the feral brothers, but you found yourself too tired to put any fight. As you were being dragged to the helicopter, a bang could be heard in the distance, two, three.
And darkness.
Waking up in sweat, you gasped for air "Nightmare?" Ororo asked, startling you "How long have you been here?" "A couple minutes, I guess, I came to tell you-you have a visit". Still startled from the nightmare, you bolted out of bed and freshened up a bit. It was not every day you had someone visit you.
The thing was, you had no clue who could that be.
Straightening your jacket, you descended the stairs, where you could make out some voices at the Mansion's entrance. As you saw who had come to visit you, you skipped the three last steps, jumping right into his arms "Victor!"
“Long time no see, kitten” He smirked, engulfing you in his arms. You were more than surprised to see Victor, and even dumbfounded that he remembered you "How did you-" "Hightened senses, remember?" "Oh...Yeah, that's true" You laughed sheepishly.
Even all these years apart hadn't changed the crush you had on him "Well, we'll leave you be" Ororo concluded, turning back to Victor" Don't try anything. If you betray us, it will be worse for you"
Closing the door to your bedroom, you turned to Victor, who watched you intently.Your smile turned into a straight line "I have to tell you something"
As soon as you said it, sparks appeared in your hands, making Victor's eyes widen "Since when?" "Five months ago, nobody knows…You're the first one" They danced in between your fingers, settling on your right hand before a ball was formed "Do you control it?" "More or less…But that's not the issue…I'm afraid I will put people in danger with my mutation, or even kill someone accidentally…Charles always says that this is a gift, but to me, it's a nightmare" Your sad eyes held embarrasment and fear, and the feral could feel the latter emane from you.
Victor's eyebrows furrowed, and a growl escaped his lips "Look" He said, taking your hands in his "I'm not the best one to give goodie two shoes advice, but this ain't something that can be taken from you, you're stuck with it. This changes your life, you and I both know it, but you either suck up and train to be strong or get experimented on and killed" Your eyes watered,even though you knew everything that having a mutation involved, the reality seemed much crueler "Hey kitten, don't worry, you'll be fine. I'm with you, ain't I?" Reassuring you, Victor gave your hands a soft shake, before retreating to his room.
~~~
"Well, if this is true, what are we waiting for?" Scott interveened, making you turn your head "For all we know, this could be a trap" Logan replied, crossing his arms "But what if it is not?" Your voice rose from the back of Charles's office "What if there are kids imprisoned or being experimented on?" "There's only one way to find out" Charles's concluded, ushering everyone out while Scott and Hank went to prepare the helicopter "(Y/N), could you stay for a minute?" "Of course, what's wrong?" "You'll be staying" "What?Why?" "Your mutation is not controlled enough, and we are not certain if the person who is conducting the experiments is-" -My father" Your balled your fists, making a disgusted face "But I know how to control it! I can be useful" "You won't go to this mission and the decision is final"
Leaving the office, you ran to the main entrance, where you found Jean "They left already" You opened and closed your mouth,she didn't need any questioning "But Victor is in the living room, if you were wondering" Smiling, you thanked her and went to find him.
"Charles doesn't let me go the mission" Plopping on the sofa, you awaited his reply "But you want to go, right?" "Yes, I feel that perhaps I will find answers to my questions" "Then don't listen to the old man and go: if there are kids congratulations, and if there is your father then you hit jackpot. If not, well at least you made a daytrip" He shrugged, getting up from the armchair he was resting on "The factory is not far, but how are we gonna get to it?" He didn't reply, just guided you to the back of the mansion, where a van stood "Your ride , princess"
"It seems pretty abandoned…" But even if it looked abandoned, you knew better than that, as the Island had looked like this factory.The eerie atmosphere was overwhelming, and the feeling on your gut that there was something very wrong made you shiver to the core "C'mon let's go" You took off running, Victor following close behind "I'm coming with you" "Suit yourself, but if we want to end quicker, we must divide"
After half an hour or so, there was still no luck in finding any kids, nor did you encounter the Xmen "Now…Let's see" Standing in front of a locked door with coding, you created some lightning to break in, expecting that there was to be something important inside. As the door opened, you stared into a dimly lit room, full of pipes and wires "What the-" Before you could finish your sentence, your head started to hurt, as if needles were inserted to them "Shit! Victor!" You cried, falling to the floorn, withering in pain "Please Victor! Help!" Starting to feel numb, you stopped fighting the tears, screaming with all your might "Screaming won't help you much, (Y/N)" A figure stepped from the shadows, wearing a soldier's suit.
William Stryker…Your father.
"What?Why?" "All in time, my dear daughter…For now…I have some questions that need answer…"Was all you heard before you succumbed to the pain.
Stryker smiled proudly, calling some guards to take you to the laboratory, where someone was already waiting for you.
"Shit! Victor!" In no time, he was crossing the factory, leaping through the floor in marvelous agility. His heart was pounding, and he could not concentrate on anything, but getting to you "Please Victor! Help!" He sped up, if it was even possible anymore. It all became blurry, he just saw the door, which looked to have been blown up, and crossed it.
"Where's (Y/N)?!" He roared, preparing himself to fight against the whole team of soldiers that were awaiting him.
But what was waiting in the last lab of the corridor was something he was not preparing to face.
Clutching on the safety ropes around your ankles, you watched frantically around the room : Needles, tubes, machines…Something out of a sci-fi horror movie "My (Y/N), so young and yet so dangerous" He looked old, tired "You don't know anything about me! Let me go!" "Sorry, but you're too much of a trouble to let go…You see, your mutation is something out of this world…Almost godly, you see" Zipping your mouth, you listened to him making his speech, trying to charge your power "So…It is of vital importance that you are subjected to experimentation" "You would to this? To your own daughter?"
"Well, I had to do it to your brother too, didn't I?" As if on cue, a light revealed a man, disheveled, and on a wheelchair. Was this…
"You fucking psycho! You'll pay for this you bastard!" As a blast was thrown from your hand, your brother's mutation kicked in, making you scream once again in pain "Please! Stop this!" Your screaming did nothing but increase as you saw your father approaching you with a syringe "This will prevent you from escaping nor killing me" "Nothing will stop me, I will not stop fighting to end with your madness!"
Just then, a ruckus was heard, getting nearer and nearer "It seems we have company…I should have killed Victor in the island when I had him under my control" "He would've beat you, you're no rival to him" "That's why you'll be the one to kill him" Your eyes shot open at that statement, fear pumping in your veins "This is a mind control serum, I'm pretty sure your new self won't have any inconvenience in killing him…Now don't cry (Y/N), don't feel sorry for the monster that he is" "He is no monster, you are!"
His face scrunched up in disgust at that, he even looked hurt "To know that my daughter feels anything for that…That animal…Makes me even sicker" A sharp pain shot up in your body, making you dizzy "I won't…Kill him…I won't succumb to this…This serum" Tears fell from your eyes, as you fell in a deep sleep.
At last, Victor arrived to the lab, throwing the door down with a swift kick "Kitten?" There was nobody, it was quiet…Way too quiet "Ah, Victor, so glad you could make it" Stryker appeared, clasping his hands together "Where is (Y/N)? I'll kill you if anything has happened to her" "Your "kitten" is here, she's adjusting" "Adjusting? To wha-?" He had no time to finish, as an electric blast sent him across the room. Your form appeared, levitating from the ground: your body was surrounded by lightning, as well as your eyes, that held no pupil whatsoever. Your clothes also had changed, they seemed godly like.
"To this. She fought hard, but not enough" "You'll pay for this!" He launged himself, but was yet stopped by you "Kitten! Goddamnit, get some sense in your head!" He dodged every attack, what was he else to do? He couldn't harm you in any way, he had promised it to himself. Your bolts were getting more precise as time passed just as Victor grew tired and started to lose hope.
"Now, (Y/N), that is enough playtime, just finish him off" His eyes widened, as you used a lightning bolt to strangle him, applying more preassure as you shocked him "Kitten, you don't want…To do this!" He choked up "Oh, I think she does" Stryker smirked, as he saw the feral starting to lose consciousness" "You've got to take control! Get your self back! Please, (Y/N)!"
At that, the pressure stopped, it seemed to have hit a nerve. Your head decayed to one side, as if you could be listening to him "(Y/N), you have to fight this, do not believe him, you're not like this…You've never been and will never be a monster! You're the most beautiful human being I've ever met, as well as the most caring…(Y/N) I…" Just then, his neck was missing air again "And you thought some cheesy love declaration would help anything?" Bolts were springing to Victor's body, making him growl in pain, baring his teeth "I'll bring you back, I will never stop trying it…Because I love you" He grabbed your waist, pulling you to him, making you gasp as his lips came in contact with yours.
"That's your last resort? Pathetic" Stryker spat, watching the scene in front of him.
He felt the most unbearable pain, but didn't care anymore.
He had to break you out.
You kept trying to overcome the serum, but try as you might, it wasn't enough, it was too strong; You were going to kill Victor, and there was nothing you could do about it.
You were ready to give up, to succumb to it, when you felt Victor's arms pull you to him, and his rough lips on yours. A gasp escaped your lips.
He still believed in you, he was sure that you wouldn't give up.
Not now, not ever.
With this new wave of energy, you resumed your fight against your father and your brother. Gathering all the strength you could muster, you fought against the chains that held you to this ill-driven fate.
Victor broke the kiss and watched as your eyes changed to normal and back to no pupils at all. "C'mon (Y/N), make them bite the dust" Clutching your trembling form in his arms, he awaited the lightning bolts that were to come. He was never going to let you go, even if the pain was too much to endure.
Your body changed from trembling to convulsing as the lightning strikes became stronger and deadlier, making Victor scream in pain. With a final blood-curling scream, you let out the biggest wave, falling unconscious and consequently making you both fall to the ground.
Victor got up as quickly as his healing factor let him, watching your silhouette, which wasn't moving at all. He heard your heart beating, making him huff in relief. Your eyes opened, quickly closing them as the blinding light hit you, but soon Victor's form shielded you from it "Victor?" You let out a breath "Yes, (Y/N)?" His gaze held worry, which soon turned to tenderness "Is this a dream?" "No (Y/N), this ain't no dream" He smirked, kissing you softly. It was not the kind of kiss you had imagined from the feral man, but reciprocated nevertheless.
Stryker could not believe his eyes. He had been defeated by something out of a children's book, a true love's kiss "This is impossible! How could yo-" His form was thrown against the wall, Victor's hand in his neck "Victor! Don't" You slithered to them, holding Victor's arm, preventing it from delivering the final blow "He deserves to die for what he's done" "His death will make matters worse, we will embark in a war we have to be prepared for" Baring his teeth, he knocked your father unconscious "If I didn't love you, I wouldn't have let this through…Nobody gives me orders" "Lucky me huh?" Smiling, you took Victor's hand, pulling him away from the lab and back to the X-Mansion.
Your words proved to be true, as the army was prepared to attack if anything had happened to your father.
Lucky for you, you were going to live today to fight tomorrow, but not alone.
With Victor at your side, not anymore.

UNDERGROUND CONCERT SERIES:
To define the Underground Concerts Series as just an "event" would be an understatement. In fact for the last 4 years, it has seperated itself as a whole from the rest because of the commonality the artist & crowds share. Still, its biggest distinction is that everyone brings something different to the table. They fully believe that support goes a long way & the proof is in the pudding when you're on the outside, looking in. The atmosphere screams "underground." From it's subway inspired sign, to the lighting and close space -- it hypes one up & assures that the artist performing are the future. Every artist, even poet leaves you in awe. It's very similar to those you see on the side when hopping on the Metro, straight admirable. Because no matter what walk of life appears, they will always leave impressed and a bit more inspired. The UGCS shows that no matter what, the talent will always be surreal. But most importantly, everyone is always welcome to have a space. I was allowed to interview some awesome acts during June's second segment of UGCS. including the COO, Miss Defined and creator, King Cosmic. Which I must add made me feel apart of hip-hop's history.
1. KING COSMIC: King Cosmic self-identifies as a royal commander for the Underground Concert Series. Despite hearing "hip-hop is dead" as he was growing up, Cosmic knew that Brooklyn is the voice of hip-hop. And so he created the Underground Concert Series 5 years ago in hopes that he could shake the hip-hop world up/become apart of history. What gets Cosmic up is knowing that he has a movement behind him. He also rises because of the people who have his back. Equally important, Cosmic's biggest inspiration is his past experiences. He finds an artist's persistence the most admirable, "It takes alot to develop yourself as an artist." Cosmic adds "To see someone who can reach and dig in deep, then put that on the front stage is amazing." His word of advice to those looking to create their own event is to "..find something unique & passionate about. Don't give up." Cosmic is also a business management consultant. He loves seeing entrepreurs grow & says "What better way to help entrepreurs then to put artist in a position to win."
2. Miss Defined: An outspoken women who derives off self-worth, courage, truth & intellect -- Miss Defined self identifies as the COO of UGGS/Host/Behind the Scenes. Her journey began 4 years ago on the same stage she performed at prior to our interview at Starr Barr. VJ told her to get on stage. And even though she was reluctant, she went there anyway. Then Miss Defined went from being an audience member to joining the team, host then COO. With a vibrant, positive aura Miss Defined is also able to connect with people through poetry. She says it's been a long journey but wouldn't change a damn thing. For her, the poetry she writes always start with a song. Then in random moments, she'll have an ephiphany & say "I need to build a poem around this line." Likewise she finds their concept through her playlist. She'll mostly stumble on artist like SZA & The Weeknd. Other times, it'll base off old school melodies. Since she's a Brooklyn Girl, she finds its melting pot most admirable. "You'll find many diverse people." Miss Defined adds. Despite living under a rock, she's going to be starting a podcast which will highlight her journey, ratchetry and wild antics. Her advice to others is to work hard, "No matter how awkward, weird or stange you are, there's someone out there who loves you."
3. Rah Sauce: Rah Sauce is that rapper who gets everyone lit. Despite his party oriented persona and genre-defying music style, Rah Sauce's main goal is to bring everyone together. One who self-identifies as a MC who comes from Brooklyn & Harlem, Rah Sauce says he got trapped into music as he was growing up. Rah Sauce certainly can't listen to a song if its too mainstream or old so he's always searching for new music. Then out of the blue. he decided to make his own. Although he's been rapping for a year, Rah Sauce still has a lot of things in the works. "I want to build a community because we need a good way to reach people." Rah Sauce adds. Speaking og his community, he admires that his doesn't take B.S & will tell someone about theirselves right away. If he could change a certain aspect of music, he'd make it more lyrical and less sonic. His word of advice is to not care about anyone else's opinion. Rah Sauce is inspired by A$AP Rocky & Chief Keef. Make sure to bop to Rah Sauce's track "In The Pit."
4. Ni-Emah Bugg: A sprinkle of Erykah Badu & Jill Scott, but moreso lots of Harlem Funkadelics with Janelle Monae & Chaka Khan, Miss Ni-Emah Bugg brings the funk & soul. Her vocals are enough to pluck a heartstring, yet they also can get a crowd into the groove of things. At most, an eccentric & very passionate woman -- Ni-Emah Bugg started singing since she was out the womb. But it wasn't until she was 18 when she started to take it more seriously, "My heart has always been about singing." she goes on "There was a quote I read where the man asks the woman: why do you want to dance? and she says I dance because I need to live." and thats what singing means to me. You’re only here once so it’s best to live your dream." Likewise she gains inspiration from 70's music. She resonates with a line from an unreleased song which goes, "Never give up, never give in. Watch what happens if you keep going." "Sometimes we're afraid of the outcomes, but "what if" can be a positive thing too if we just go for it." she adds To stay positive, Ni-Emah Bugg drinks tea, says a Buddhist prayer and prays for her loved ones, even enemies. Her advice to upcoming artist is to have fun with music, sing what’s on your heart & to be fearless. "Be a little different. Embrace your uniqueness because there’s only one you. Never give up & love yourself as best as you can." Stay on the lookout for her upcoming tape called, The Green Tape.

(( To many to tag so just gonna tag Main: @centralcitysfinest-rp ))
Standing in the Science Lab of the Waverider, Candice debated on what music to put on while she worked. Just as she was about to ask Gideon for some music, a screen near by flicked to life. Looking over at the screen she immediately recognized the man looking at her.
"Gary, to what do I owe the pleasure? I thought our usual D&D game was postponed for this week, or did I miss it? Time gets confusing." Candice said.
"No this isn't about that Candice. At least not this time around. Besides you threw off the whole campaign last session." Gary commented.
"Huh.. almost like when you sent the Legends off in 1980 London." Candice quipped back. Gary adjusted how glasses and gave an awkward chough.
"Right, well anyway I actually called for a reason. Some coincidence that I happen to call you alone in the science lab right?" He said.
"Little creepy when you put it that way." She said watching him. "You do know that if you're creeping up behind me I have no problem torching your ass right?" Candice said.
"I'm not on the Waverider, at least not yet. See the thing is, we actually need you here at the Time Bureau. See we've noticed the Legends have become rather... Well crowded..." Gary said.
"Still not liking where this is going Gary." Candice said as she watched him. Though she did have to admit, he was a bit right, the Legends were crowded on the Waverider.
"Well the thing is in order to help build bridges between the Legends and the Time Bureau, some of you will be working here, present day Central City. You'll be paid, and of course given normal hours. Sort of a nine to five kind of job." He said with a smile as he explained.
"That sounds so corporate. You do know that I like the Waverider for a lot of reasons." She retorted as she grabbed a nearby piece of tech to work on.
"Candice, we're inviting you to help the Time Bureau with tech." Gary said. Looking over she gave a small curious glance.
"Go on." She commented as she watched him.
"We've noticed the stuff you've made. That pistol alone is closer to Rip's pistol than anything our techs could come up with. Plus our time couriers could use some upgrades. You'll get to take them apart." Gary said.
"Fisrt off the Tesla Pistol is a divergent of Rip's pistol, second you're going to allow me to take apart a time courier so I can upgrade them?" She asked.
"Among building weapons and tech. You'll also be responsible for keeping track of the time map. Might of been thanks to a certain dm explaining how well you kept track of events in our D&D game." Gary boasted.
"Really Gary? You used our D&D game to help convince Ava into giving me access to all of that?" Candice asked.
"Possibly." He replied. Letting out a sigh she looked around the lab. "You still want to stay I know. Candice we need you here. Please help the Time Bureau, your our only hope." Gary said.
"You're not gonna Princesses Leia me. I'm not your Obi-Wan." She said with a sigh. "Look if I'm going to join the Time Bureau, there are a lot of things I need." Candice said.
"A list of demands? Candice I can't promise you will get what you want." Gary said. "I mean if it were up to me I would probably say yes." He added.
"That's cause you're a push over Gary. They aren't demands, you already won me over with the time courier. This is a list of things I need in order to work, and possibly to help whoever else is on my team. Wait who is on the team besides me?" Candice asked as she got sidetracked from her own train of thought.
"Well... Let's see, Rip Hunter will be the leader naturally, You as the team technician, Leo Rivera and Leo Snart as the Field Agents, and someone named Terry McGinnis as a Field Agent and History Consultant." Gary explained.
Candice let out a soft giggle at the fact that the team had two Leos. "Ah yes Team Leo, where you don't know who is who." She joked.
"Candice this is a serious list." Gary said as Candice laughed a bit. "Fia! Focus please!" He said trying to get her to focus.
"I'm sorry Gary, but you have to admit Leo and Leo on the same team is so stupid and funny." She said. Gary let out a sigh as Candice calmed down a bit.
"You had a list of demands you were going to make." Gary said. Candice rolled her eyes as she looked back at the screen.
"Not demands, requests. I need my own lab to work in. Not a small crammed room, I need space to work on multiple projects at once." She explained.
"I think that will get approved, I mean that just seems like a no brainier, but you do know that we won't be able to give you anything to big." Gary said.
"Yeah I know, still nice to have room to spread out. Also this is more for the team than just me, we need a meeting room, something kind of like the study on the Waverider, actually it might be better if I just worked up a floor plan." Candice said.
"This is starting to sound like its own building Candice. Pretty sure we can't get that approved." Gary said.
"Trust me it won't be as bad as you're thinking. Just wait til you see the floor plan. In any case, I am going to need to be allowed to play music while I work. Nothing worse than being bored while working on a project." She said with a groan.
"I'll run it by Director Sharp." Gary said. "Is that all?" He asked.
"Let's see, meeting room, personal science lab, kitchen, library, relaxation room, bathrooms, ability to play music, I think that about covers it." Candice said. "I will miss Gideon though, and the others...." She added with a sigh.
"We can see if there is a way for you to keep in contact with Gideon and the others Candice. If you draft up a floor plan I will see what I can do about making it a reality." Gary said.
"I guess I should pack up my room. Well what little stuff I have here on the Waverider." She commented. Letting out a sigh she looked back at the screen. Candice could feel her heart sink a bit, she loved the Waverider and the adventure that came with it.
"I uh... I guess we'll contact you... At the very least I have your number from when we started playing D&D together." Gary said. Candice gave him a nod before the screen turned off.
Looking around, Candice grabbed a few of her items before heading off to her shared room with Zari. Peeking her head in, she didn't see the other woman. "Guess that makes this easier." She said to herself.
Walking away Candice got Gideon to make her a box to store her stuff in. Packing up what little she had, few extra clothes, couple of books, as well as some tech she had built in the science lab, she set off to leave the Waverider.
"Guess this is bye for now Gideon." Candice said as she stood at the cargo door.
"For now Ms. Reeves, but I am sure we will talk again soon." Gideon replied.
"I know, but some dumb science lab at the Time Bureau is nothing like the Waverider. I just... I don't know felt more at home here." Candice said.
"I know Ms. Reeves." Gideon said. Giving the frame of the doorway a light punch tap, she looked up at the com.
"Guess I will see you around Gideon." Candice said as the Cargo door open. Turning away, Candice left the Waverider. As she walked away, she gave one last glance before watching the ship vanish into thin air as the stealth plates hid the ship from sight.
Giving it a moment of thought, Candice didn't want to head home cause she didn't want to potentially wake Charlie, and heading to S.T.A.R. Labs would be kind of creepy without Cisco being around.
Digging into her pocket she pulled out her breeching device. Pressing the button a portal opened and she jumped through. There was no harm in heading home for a small bit, besides at this moment, Candice kind of wanted to be around her parents.
Jumping through the portal she landed in the near identical spot on her Earth. Taking a deep breath, she looked around to make sure no one had seen her. "Now to head home." She said as she pocketed the breeching device.
Walking into her parents house, she closed the door quietly. Setting the box of stuff down as she walked in, she noticed some lights on. "Hello?" She called out.
"Candice? What are you doing home?" A female voice called from the kitchen. Candice walked in and gave her mom a small smile. "Sweetie, you were just here not to long ago, aren't the Legends going to be upset with you for taking so many vacations?" Her mother asked.
"Yeah this is just for a little while, not a full vacation like last time. Where's dad?" Candice asked as she took a seat at the kitchen table.
"He's working late, but he should be home soon. So. What is wrong dear? The girl you like reject you?" Candice's mom asked.
"Mom!" Candice said like a teenager that was embarrassed. "I just.. I'd rather not talk about that right this moment." Candice said.
"Oh sweetie, come here let me give you a hug." Her mom said as she walked around to hug Candice.
"Ah gross! Mom hugs!" Candice joked as she hugged her mom.
"So what is wrong. Something is up I know it. If it isn't the girl, then it's your new team." Her mom said as she walked over to the fridge.
"Yeah. I'm going to be on a new new team. Still the Legends, but working for this group called The Time Bureau." Candice explained.
"Yet you're not happy with the job are you?" Her mom asked. "Aren't they the ones that trapped you in London?" Her mom asked. Candice gave a nod of confirmation. "So why are you working for them instead of being on the ship?" Her mom asked.
"It's a new way to alleviate the crowdedness of the Waverider as well as build bridges with the Time Bureau. I get to be head tech girl for the team, and helping outfit the Bureau with new stuff." Candice explained.
"I get to do a lot of cool stuff for the bureau. I get to take apart some of their closely guarded tech to help improve it and I get my own lab which is nice since I've always been sharing it with someone. However the Waverider afforded me visits to the unknown and being stuck in the present is going to be boring." Candice said.
"It sounds like a more stable job though. One that would afford you more time with that woman you were telling me about last time." Her mom said with a small smile.
"I know and I can go back to volunteering at the hospital for the kids, I missed that while zooming around on the Waverider." Candice said.
The front door opened and a small sound of someone almost tripping came from the main hall. "Lonnie! Why is there a box of crap in the hallway?" A man's voice called out.
"Ted! That isn't a box of crap, that is Candice's stuff." Her mom called back. Though she did give Candice a parental glare at leaving stuff in the hallway.
"Sorry Dad! I thought you were home when I set that stuff down." Candice called out.
"What are you doing home?" He called out as he closed the door.
"Just needed a place for the night. I'll be back on Earth-1 in the morning." Candice called out. "Here let me come move my stuff before you trip again." Candice said as she got up from the table.
Heading into the hallway, she smiled as she saw her dad. Wrapping her arms around him, it was clear that she caught him off guard. The man gave a soft chuckle before hugging her back.
"Everything okay Candice? This is twice in what? A few weeks?" He asked as Candice pulled away from the hug.
"Yeah, but like I said I'm heading back in the morning, just needed a place to stay for the night, and all my Earth-1 places were just not where I needed to be for tonight." She explained as she grabbed her box of stuff.
"Alright pumpkin, what happened?" He asked her.
"Just got transferred from adventure to a lab. That's all. Mom knows more gonna go put this in my room." Candice said as she headed upstairs.
"Wash up while you're up there! Dinner will be ready in a bit." Her mom called out as she reached the bottom of the stairs.
"Ugh! The worst!" Candice jokingly called back. Reaching her room, she placed the box on her bed before heading to clean up. She didn't really need to eat, but Candice wasn't going to pass up her mom's cooking.
Heading back downstairs she smiled at her parents. "I'd say I'm starving, but I don't lie." Candice joked. Her mom rolled her eyes a bit.
"Doesn't stop you from eating." Her dad joked.
"Look even a nuclear reactor needs fuel and mom does cook some really good food." Candice said.
Her mom slid a plate in front of Candice with a smile. "I caught your dad up on everything." Her mom said.
"So... I have to ask, what is so bad about the Time Bureau?" Her dad asked.
"Well one they have hated the Legends for a while, even getting us stuck in 1980 London for a short time. I mean don't get me wrong, I'm going to go join the Time Bureau branch, but I'm going to miss being able to zip around time." Candice explained.
"You know you didn't used to need time travel to have adventures Candice." Her mom said.
"Yeah well that is cause I worked with the Flash, got kicked off the team, help stop Reverse Flash, sealed up the world ending breech, came back and helped stop Godspeed." Candice explained. "Even then between vanishing and showing back up I was in a new Earth and learning new things." She added.
"Sweetie, you can always learn new things from a stable job like the one at the Time Bureau." Her mom said.
"I know Mom, it's just... I don't know saving time was fun and different. It was learning more about Earth-1 from actual history instead of reading about it in books." Candice said.
"What's wrong with book?" Her dad interjected.
"Nothing dad. It's just what is better, reading history written by the winner of an event, or living through that event in real time?" She asked.
"Fair point, but still I'm sure there is plenty for you to learn from in books." Her dad said.
"I know dad, just I'm going to miss it is all." Candice said.
"There feels like more you're not telling us." Her mom said.
"The Waverider, and the Legends felt like home away from home. We we're all a bunch of people who didn't fit anywhere and oddly enough fit together like a big weird family." Candice explained.
"And you feel like you're loosing that family by being at the Bureau." Her mom commented.
"Yeah.. a bit.. plus the ship has an A.I. named Gideon and I'm going to miss having her around. I asked the Time Bureau if there would be a way for me to keep in contact with Gideon, but stuff has to be approved and what not so I gave them a list of requests." Candice said.
"Please don't tell me you demanded stuff just cause you hate the group." Her mom said with a sigh.
"Mom! I said requests not demands. I plan on working there I just need some things in order to be efficient, my own space to work of stuff hence my own lab to build and tinker with and the ability to play music while I work." Candice said.
"Music can distract you Candice." Her mom said with a sigh. "Don't expect them to hand over that kind of stuff, they are going to have to justify allowing you that kind of freedom. If it comes down to it they might find someone else." Her mom explained.
"Mom, they need me the Legends can make due, Zari is really good at tech for the Waverider, but I built the Tesla gun after getting a glance of Rip's pistol and my speed force knowledge of how to throw lightning. That kind of engineering skills is not something they are just going to avoid just because I asked for some music and my own space to work." Candice said.
"I hope you're right sweetie, I'd hate for you to not get that job." Her mom said. The rest of the meal, they talked about mindless stuff, how things were since she was last there a week ago.
Once they were finished eating, her dad headed off to bed while Candice stayed and helped her mom clean the dishes. "Candice, are you sure you're alright with the job change?" Her mom asked.
"I mean we've already talked about this, I'm having to leave my family for some corporate job." Candice said. Her mom gave a small chuckle at her.
"It's not going to be a corporate job like you say it is dear. If they truly want you to be the head technician of this new team, it sounds like they hold you in high regards. I know another man that wanted to hire you for a corporate job as well." Her mom commented.
"Yeah, but Wells was impressed by my frozen spiders." Candice said with a smile.
"Please don't remind me of those. Do you know how many times I nearly put them in one of my drinks." Her mom said. "And do not get me started on that pet scorpion you had." She added.
"Look you guys bought me the scorpion, not my fault dad got spooked as smashed him with a hammer." Candice said.
"You left him out of his cage. Of course your father freaked out." Her mom said.
"I know, I just left him for a few seconds so I could go to the bathroom. I didn't really he would of traveled so far." She said. "Though I do have to say I was rather impressed by the scream dad let out." Candice said with an amused smile.
"You're dad couldn't speak for a week cause he damaged his vocal cords." Her mom pointed out.
"I know, and I helped be his voice at work that week remember, you guys pulled me out of school so I could help him." Candice said.
"You know, your dad and I worry about you." Her mom said as she dried off her hands.
"I know Mom, I'm okay I promise. I'm still working on the Multiverse phone thing, that way we can stay in contact more often, but it's been challenging getting it to work. Needs more tests and stuff." Candice explained.
Her mom smiled at her and handed over the hand towel. Candice took them and dried off her hands. "Go get some sleep, you have somewhere to be in the morning." Her mom said.
"Mom..." Candice said with a pouting lip. Her mom stared her down and Candice smiled at her. Wrapping her arms around her mom she let out a content sigh. "I love you." She said before heading up to bed.
Her mom smiled at her and returned the words before heading to bed herself. In the morning, Candice grabbed her box of stuff and headed downstairs. She said her goodbyes to her parents before heading out to find a hidden place to breech.
Jumping through the portal, Candice was once more met with the sounds of Earth-1. Letting out a sigh, she headed home to her place, at least long enough to set down the box of stuff. She couldn't lug that around all day.

SILK-Should I Let him Know[EN]:Chapter 3/FINALE
Phoebe decided to go out to the school garden and appreciated all of it before it's gone.
She sat on the swing, not caring if her dress get dirty...
"Bye School... You may not know it, but I will miss you." She whispered.
"I'll miss you too..." A voice said from behind.
Phoebe almost jumped out of the swing...
"Oh! Joshua! You scared the hell out of me..." Joshua laughed at her reaction.
"How come after all these years, you haven't still recognized me?" Josh asked.
"What?" Phoebe looked confused.
"Alright... I'll give you a clue." Joshua said as he inhaled air to make his stomach expand like he just swallowed a watermelon.
Well, it's not that effective since the man has developed six pack abs due to non-stop working out through the years...
Then, he widely opened his mouth...
"Hey!!! What are you geeks up to?! I'll tell on you!!!" His voice deep and childish at the same time as he mimic an old dialogue.
"Oh my Gosh! J-josh? Is that you? You lost weight. And... It looked good on you." Phoebe said.
"Yep. But I'm so not your middleschool bully anymore." Josh said laughing a bit.
Phoebe was about to go down the swing but Josh stopped her...
"No, don't go down, I'll give you a push..." Josh said smiling to her.
And he did.
He pushed Phoebe gently on the swing as they talk.
"Why are you alone? Don't you have a date?" Phoebe asked.
"Hey, I should be asking a beautiful woman like you the same question, but to answer your question... I went to the ball alone because she kinda, ditched me..." Phoebe laughed.
"I like seeing you laugh. It's been a while. I also wanted to say sorry..." Josh said.
"Why?" Phoebe asked.
"I blamed myself for what happened to your leg. If I wasn't such a bad kid... You wouldn't end up in that well anyway." Josh explained.
"It's not your fault... I was never mad at you." Phoebe said.
"Phoebe?" Josh called. She turned her head.
"Yes Josh-..." Phoebe was cut off.
She was shocked as he kissed her.
Phoebe kissed him back.
Neither one of them knows that someone accidentally saw them...
When their lips parted...
Josh spoke...
"I have to go Phoebe. I have to go to a job interview tomorrow. I applied for a job in advance. Don't ask sweetheart. I need it badly." Josh said smiling as Phoebe nodded.
With that, Josh left.
Phoebe decided to sneak into the building.
To the classroom that she and Zoriah shared memories together.
"And I thought school took so long to finish..." Phoebe said to herself.
"Time flies when you're having fun..." A familiar figure stood at the door.
"Zack?" She asked.
"Why did you kiss him?" He asked.
"You saw-?" She was cut off when Zack harshly pinned her to the wall and kissed her roughly.
Her crutch fell on the floor.
Phoebe used all of her strength and pushed him away...
"Why?! You liked me from the beginning right?!" Zack asked.
"What? T-this can't happen between us Zack. Zoriah loves you so much. She needs you." Phoebe's eyes began to water.
Zack's expression softened in front of the crying woman.
"You're right... I'm sorry..." Zack whispered and picked up Phoebe's crutch and gave it to her.
Then, Phoebe picked up her pace and she went to the door to get away from the man...
He chased her to the University building's entrance.
"Phoebe... W-will I see you again?" Zack asked her.
Phoebe just smiled to him, she turned her back and closed the glass doors.
Two years after...
Life happened and they have lived it how the paths has lead them...
Separate lives.
"Once again, thank you for calling Parker and Welsing Customer Service, have great day. Bye." Phoebe's closing spiel made it.
It's O'clock.
"And Log-out guys! Good job, our sales went higher this week." Their team leader announced as the floor was filled with applause.
"Looks like someone's going home early." Her teammate teased.
"She's in a hurry. Do you have a date?" Her other teammate Grace asked wriggling her thick jungle brows on her.
Phoebe just laughed a bit and shook her head at the comment.
"Caught you red-handed girl." The other teammate commented laughing.
Phoebe blushed.
"Geez, my last customer's really mad. Said he ain't dying yet so why sell him insurance... Phoebs... How many insurance deals did you close today?" The other teammate asked as they're on the lockers getting their stuff.
"Eleven." Phoebe casually answered.
"Wow, our team leader's right, you are good." One exclaimed.
"Is your boyfriend gonna fetch you?" Phoebe nodded.
"Yes, he's downstairs." She said.
"Is he still going overseas to for his dream?" Grace asked.
"Well, it's job offer as an animator. It's his first love but because of me... He's still thinking about it." Phoebe sighed.
"Why don't you go with him?" Grace said.
"Nah... It's not that easy. He was only sponsored. Me? Where will I get the money to go with him? And besides, he already let me fulfilled my dream. I have worked as a part-time science teacher, even though that I'm not getting a lot from the job while he's earning hard. He said, he's doing that for our future. That's the reason I have applied for this job, I think I'll earn a little more here." Phoebe explained.
"Future? Maybe he's planning to propose to you." Grace commented.
"I'm thankful if he does but I still won't get my hopes up. Marriage is such a big step." Phoebe said.
"Well, if you say so... See yah Phoebs! Ciao!" Grace said as they part ways.
Just then, Josh decided to take her out on a restaurant like their usual...
Later, Phoebe spoke...
"Are you going to Zoriah and Zack's wedding?" She asked Josh.
"Nope. I have to work that day..." Her boyfriend answered.
"Well, if you're not going, then I'm not going too." Said Phoebe.
"Too clingy... I'm living for it though." Josh laughed a bit.
"Uhm... Josh?" Phoebe called out.
"Yes?" He said.
"I know how you thought hard about the job offer you got and-..." Phoebe was cut off.
"I will decline it." Josh immediately said, blocking his girlfriend's words.
"I'm grateful that after all these years, you have been with me... Josh. We both know that declining it, is not really what you want. Thank you for always being there and taking care of me. You've let me do whatever I want, now it's your turn. I will never hold you off and take you away from your first love." She addressed seriously.
Her eyes shed tears as she was speaking.
"W-well, if that's how you look af it but... Phoebs... I'll be back for you. I will marry you Phoebs..." Josh said.
His eyes are getting dewy as well.
"D-don't make promises you're yet not certain that you can keep. I know you'll be happier fulfilling your dream there, even without me. Do not hesitate and go for it. I'll be okay." Phoebe said smiling to Josh...
Josh stood up and went across the table go reach his girlfriend, and hugged Phoebe...
"Thank you..." He whispered to the woman.
Years later, after Phoebe's leg operation and therapy.
She fully recovered.
Then, she went hiking with her new hope.
She's with her mom and dad as well...
When she got to the top along with the other climbers, she walked away a little from them to take in and appreciate how beautiful and peaceful it is.
She so was consumed by the beauty and her thoughts...
I wonder how and what are they doing right now?
Zoriah, Josh and...
Zack.
'Should I still let him know?'
Nah, I'll pass.
They guy's married to my bestfriend Zoriah and I'm sure that they're both very happy now.
I owe it to Josh that I'm here in this beautiful place by myself, now I know I'm not alone.
I have my family...
They're my first and last love.
It's okay to have it that way.
She looked at her parents taking pictures and selfies with the breath-taking background.
Someday, I'll live in a place like this. Serene and free...
'Freedom.'
It doesn't always mean that you need to be out there.
Like the frogs trapped in the well that doesn't need to be saved if it doesn't really want to...
It also doesn't always relate to love.
Sometimes, being able to reflect, focus on one's self and realizing own worth, away from the prying eyes, is the greatest freedom of all.
And when it comes to loving someone freely...
You don't need to always let them know that you love them, 'cause if you really do, they will feel too.
Eventually.
"You seemed pre-occupied. Mind if I join you in your thoughts?" A familiar man's voice said beside her.
She turned her head with tears in her eyes...
Her lips parted and spoke...
"Josh?" She asked smiling.
The man nodded.
"You're one and only... I'll never leave you again. I'll take care of you forever if I have to..." Josh said smiling back and she hugged him tightly.
