#wait this might be the 3rd one i gave up on. still not sure I'm going back to Catherine Asaro audiobooks

[mumblingsage]

My Cranky Old Woman opinion is that audiobooks were less annoying when the reader just read them vs trying to voice act them. For the second time this year I had to give up on a book because the reader's tone of voice was interfering with the content (The first time it was a historical drama narrated like a children's book, but now I found something much worse: I do not want to listen to an attempted rape scene in a chortling mustache-twirling comic villain voice! Holy shit!)

ETA: Just recalled another part of the problem: the narrator decided that, to convey Action in action scenes, she'd start reading faster. Nothing I love more when trying to picture a chaotic scene than having to interpret everything at double pace!

omgggg happy 3rd anniversary to you!!!! here's to many more to come 🥂 for this celebration can i please request, from the general fluffy dialogue prompt list number 8 + 9 with mat barzal pls? thank you!

WINNIE MARTIN’S FAVORITE PERSON

this is the first of my tumblr-versary blurbs, so if that annoys you, block the tag 'taylor's tumblr-versary' love ya <3

8. "who let you be this cute today?" 9. "can we wait a second? i wanna take a picture of you right now." (from this prompt list)

you tried to go to as many games as you could, but you had a job so making it to every game was impossible. but, when you could make it to games, mat made sure to plan ahead and make sure you were gonna have a good time.

"you have a ride, right?" mat asked from the bathroom where he was still getting read.

"yes, i have a ride." you sighed. a moment of silence enveloped you and you knew something was wrong, "you okay? you need help with anything?" you asked.

"...yes." he hesitated.

"you can't tie your tie, can you?" you smiled.

"no." you could see the pout on his face as you made your way into the bathroom.

"ooh." you teased, "mathew barzal, who let you be this cute today?" you teased, enjoying the shy smile on his face.

"stop please. just help." he handed you the tie he wanted to wear, but you shook your head, "what?"

"mat, i love you, but your sense of style is awful." you winced, recalling every bad fashion choice you had seen him make. you set the tie on the counter and grabbed a different one, one that better matched the suit he was wearing, and began tying it.

"i should.be offended." the smile on his face told you he wasn't.

"i'm saving you from ending up on people's worst dressed." you shrugged.

he rolled his eyes, "so, before i go, can i see what you're gonna wear tonight?" it was no secret that you loved dressing up for games. it was fun and you liked doing it. you usually had little pieces with his name, number, or team colors. something to show your support, and mat loved it.

"nope." you shook your head.

"what? why not?"

"that ruins the surprise," you told him.

"you're gonna make me wait till after the game to see." he pouted.

"i don't know. maybe i'll be there at warmups." you shrugged, smiling when he perked up, "i think syd's bringing win, so maybe i'll go down with them." she was your ride, so going down to the ice for warmups made sense.

"okay, well, i guess i might see you during warmups." he kissed your forehead.

"maybe." you shrugged, wrapping your arms around his waist, "try not to fall, okay?" he rolled his eyes.

"i don't do it on purpose." he insisted.

you smiled, "score goals." you told him, leaning up and giving him a quick peck.

"for you, always." he hummed.

after he left, you got ready as quickly as you could and before you knew it, sydney martin was pulling up outside your building, "y/n yl/n, you always put the rest of us to shame."

"oh, stop it." you smiled bashfully.

"i'm serious. how you do it astounds me." she ran her finger over the sleeve of your jacket, "doesn't y/n look pretty, win?" you looked to the backseat where winnie was sitting, clutching a stuffed animal.

"pretty." she smiled.

"thank you, miss win." you winked before getting into the passenger side.

true to your word, you followed sydney down to the ice for warmups and helped keep winnie entertained. you could tell sydney was a little tired, so you did your best to keep her attention.

when the boys came out, you couldn't help but smile when mat tossed a couple of pucks over the ice to a few kids. winnie's eyes were glued to the ice as she watched all the guys skate around.

matt skated over, making his daughter laugh, blowing her kisses and even tossing her a puck, which she clutched to her chest along with her stuffed animal.

when your mat finally skated over, sydney took her daughter back so you and mat could have a moment. he smiled, taking notice of your jacket. he spun his finger, and you gave him a little twirl so he could see your jacket.

he gave a thumbs up and a nod, which made you laugh. he tossed a puck over and nodded to a kid behind you, whose eyes were glued. on mat, watching him mesmerized.

you nodded and waved. as he skated backward, he waved and winked. you rolled your eyes before looking at the puck. you smiled when you noticed that mat had signed it.

you turned around to the kid, who looked at you, probably after having seen mat point at him. you laughed before you handed it to him, "this is from barzy." you told him, "have fun tonight."

you turned back to sydney, who had her phone out and was probably recording and taking pictures of the whole thing, "you guys are so cute." she hugged you, "now come on, let's get some drinks." you smiled when winnie raised her arms in your direction, a signal that she wanted to be picked up.

after the game, and an ot goal scored by mat, you waited with sydney and the other girls in the tunnel. you were sitting with sydney, and the entire game, winnie was in your lap. somehow she had gravitated from her seat into your lap, but you didn't mind.

"look, win, there's your dad." you pointed when you saw matt walk out. she gave him a wave, but yawned and laid her head on your shoulder, "i'm tired, too." you patted her back, making the martin's smile.

you waved when you saw mat walk out. he made his way over to you and hugged you, pressing a kiss to your cheek, "i'm proud of you. overtime goal!" you cheered quietly, not wanting to disturb winnie too much.

"i know. all for you." he smiled into your hair before pressing a kiss to the top of your head, "you ready to go?" you hummed.

"wait, wait, before you guys go." sydney stopped you, pulling out hr phone, "can we wait a second? i wanna take a picture of you right now." she begged.

"fine." mat rolled his eyes playfully, but posed for the picture nonetheless. after the picture was taken, you were going to hand winnie off to her parents, but she clung to you.

"come on, we gotta go home, winnie." sydney sighed, flashing. youan apologetic smile.

"how about this? i'll carry you in the car, but after that, i gotta go." you offered, and she nodded, "all right, let's go." you switched arms and started heading int he direction of sydney's car.

mat walked by your side, holding your hand and talking to you about whatever. unbeknownst to you, sydney, who was trailing behind you and mat, was snapping pictures.

you set winnie in her car seat and waved, "bye, winnie girl." you blew her a kiss and she blew you one back, which you accepted and held close to your chest, which made her laugh.

you walked back to mat's car, "that felt very domestic." he told you.

"keep dreaming, barzal. let's stick to babysitting."

"i know, i know." he raised his hands in surrender.

as you got waited for mat to get into bed later that night, you saw sydney's tag and checked out the instagram story. it was a photo she had taken, without your knowledge, of you and mat walking towards the parking garage, hand-in-hand, winnie in your arms, her head on your shoulder with the caption 'her favorite person ever ❤️ @/yourusername'

mat hopped into bed next to you and saw the post, "you're right. we do look domestic." you smiled.

"let's stick to babysitting." he joked.

taylor's tumblr-versary!

[kasaraku]

I've been thinking about something.

I saw a video in TT (not again-) and it was about how Tsukasa is frustrated by how the others are joking around, jokingly make fun of Tsukasa and it triggers him. (Check out Blu!)

And then I remembered someone pointed out that EmuRuiNene's jokes are a lot softer now than before, that even Nene's sharp tongue wasn't even used all that much to him too. I think it's because they realized how Tsukasa would open up more if they're softer around him.

I mean, other people also pointed out that, seeing how Tsukasa's event focuses are, he never really relied on others until 3rd focus. He realized just how much others are willing to help him out and also supports him. <- that makes me cry a whole hour.

In order for Tsukasa to let himself lean on others and let himself be more open to them, they (EmuRuiNene) have to soften up and let Tsukasa take the hints and be more reliant to them, making him realized that he can always trust them and comes to them for help. He has done more than enough, it's their turn now.

Suddenly it inspired me to make a short story. Just keep reading.

I'm sure you'll like a little fluff :D

Rehearsal has been going on smoothly. Emu takes up the main character, with Rui as her companion to defeat an evil god, a character Tsukasa plays, but also with the help and persuasion of semi - god, that's when Nene comes in.

The god is good, but humanity destroys him, and he was made into an evil being after being revived. The semi - god tells them that the god needs his heart back to revive the god she has befriended a long time ago. She begs them not to kill him as he's the only one who can keep the humans alive for so long. They eventually agree, and after finding the heart and presents it to the god, it shines as the evil god unconsciously reached for it and puts it in his chest as it shines and he comes back. Happily ever after.

Well, maybe not if the one who plays it don't know how to act as the evil god.

"Uhh... Nene? Can you help me with this? I'm a little stuck. " the singer looks at the one who called her. The blond who constantly yells 'World's Future Star' looks at her in embarrassment. He holds a script that opens a page she oh so familiar with. The part where the evil god and the semi - god shown to be friends in the past.

Emu and Rui are bussying themselves with the script as they excitedly talk about the ideas on putting sparkly things for the show, and Nene can hear how loud they are. Even if they're a few feet away from her, she feels a little irritated about it. They talk a little too loud from usual, which pretty much annoys her.

Tsukasa is still waiting for Nene's answer, as he fidgets with the script and debates on whether he should really ask her or forget about it. Suddenly Nene grabs his wrist and drags him away from the other two as they goes in the backstage, a quitter place for them to practice.

"I can help, don't worry about it. Well, tell me which part you're struggling with. " somehow, Nene looks at him with a soft smile that makes him want to melt away. Has she always smiles that softly to him? Maybe, but he might never realize it.

With a nod, he explains which part and his struggles of it, as Nene hums and helps him get the hang of it. In return, she asked him for the same thing as he smiled and pointed out which part she lacked in and gave her some insight and clues for it.

Little did they know, the other two were watching them the whole time with those big hearts in their eyes, and they affectionately looked at them, while also noting that Tsukasa gradually letting himself be dependent to others.

That day, everyone ends the rehearsal with a smile of affection painted on their face as they go home, replaying the memories they all had together today.

Yeah uhh... got a little too excited for the info I guess-

Natural Beauty

Kenpachi Zaraki X Chubby! Reader

slight trigger warning in that the reader realizes that some people are gossiping about her appearance and sometimes what they say is mean though no specific quotes are given.

(Y/n) sighed softly as she sat at a booth in the local bar, the Whispering Lilly, she was waiting for her Captain and friends. The young woman was the only adult female of squad 11, she fought with the boys and kicked ass to get to where she was now. Of course, this meant her body type was a bit different, she was curvier and had more muscle than most girls that was for sure, but this also meant a bit of a wider mid-section. She didn't think she looked bad, men still make the mistake of flirting with her, and it wasn't like she was morbidly obese. Rangiku and the women of the Shinigami Women's Association always told her she looked good. But recently she found that wherever she went there'd be people talking about her appearance, it made her wonder if it really was only just happening or if it had been going on all along. Some comments weren't bad, but others could be cruel, the ones from the other women hurt the most.

It had been going on all week, and now here she sat alone in a booth and wondering just how many people around her had noticed her or said something about her. The longer she sat alone the more she felt judged, even though she kept reminding herself that she was overacting. She kept over thinking every move she made, even her breathing. That was when she downed the drink in hand, the burn of the sake dragging her back to earth. She was 4 in when Kenpachi showed up with his 3rd and 5th seat, Ikkaku cocking an eyebrow. "Everything ok there? You look like you want to throw a table." That made Kenpachi laugh, his golden eye locking on the bald man. "Now don't say that, you might just tempt me into throwing a table."

That made (Y/n) laugh a bit, the alcohol making it easier to lighten her mood. "Sorry I'm fine, it took you guys so long I got lost in thought." She watched as everyone sat down, her Captain sitting by her while Yumichika and Ikkaku sat across from him. Kenpachi always sat beside her, it made her feel tiny bit safe. She knew her Captain wouldn't turn his blade on her, she also knew if someone got unruly, he'd shut them up for getting on his nerves. "I'm glad I'm not the only one in this squad that has enough thoughts to get lost in." Yumichika chimed up, filling up everyone's glass. (Y/n) unconsciously throwing it back, not even cringing. "That's happenin a lot to you lately (L/n), what's goin on in that head of yours." Kenpachi had noticed her staring off sometimes, even in training or while sparring. It was like she'd go into autopilot, she looked so hyper focused yet unfocused at the same time. (Y/n) knew she had been slipping up lately, though she didn't realize it was happening that often.

"It's nothing, I just feel like I'm in a bit of a rut... I don't even know what I'm doing in life anymore let alone why I'm doing it." She gave a sigh, throwing back another drink. She wasn't lying, the last month had been so repetitive, each day the same as the last. On top of it she has no inspiration, she loved to write even though no one reads it but her writer's block was killing her. "That's understandable, everyone's been hit with a wave of busy work and the hollow attacks have slowed. It's so boring it'll rot your head." The Captain swallowed down his drink, leaning back in his seat as Ikkaku nodded and tossed one back. "You need to talk more then, the more you sit and think the worse you'll feel. Go pull a prank or something." The bald ones advice wasn't bad, she had considered doing so but she didn't know who to mess with that wouldn't get her in trouble. She was one of the only ones who at least tried to be polite or decent. "Why don't we go shopping tomorrow (Y/n)? We haven't gone in so long, the captain and Ikkaku can come as well. We need people to carry the bags."

That made Ikkaku snort, Kenpachi swallowed down a big drink from the sake bottle and shrugged. "I ain't got nothin better to do, what time are we all meeting up?" That made Ikkaku stop laughing, he already knew he didn't have an option now that the captain had agreed. (Y/n) filled up her sake glass before swallowing it down, shrugging slightly. "How about 11? We can get lunch and take a break before getting into our actual shopping." A lot of the (H/c) head's favorite shops didn't open up til a little after midday anyways, so she knew she wouldn't do a lot of shopping until then. Everyone seemed to nod in agreement, from there they drank and discussed where they'd eat. Until they wandered off in various directions to try and find the barracks, ironically only Kenpachi made it back within an hour.

      ~~~Time Skip 11:30 ~~~

(Y/n) gave a soft yawn as she made her way to the squad 11 common area, she hadn't stumbled her way back to the barracks until early that morning. Having napped in one of captain Kyoraku's cherry blossom trees for a bit. She wore her standard uniform; her hair was brushed but she didn't bother dressing up. She spotted Ikkaku eating and Yumichika was checking himself in a pocket mirror, she assumed their captain was doing his hair or something.

"Hey..." The young woman yawned and sat on Ikkaku's opposite side, stealing one of his rice balls as per her daily ritual. Ikkaku didn't care anymore, he just started to get extra at this point. "Now come on (Y/n) why not dress up? We're going to that shop you enjoy that makes those dresses from the living world you like." The (H/c) haired girl simply yawned, looking at him with a groan. "It's too early for all that work, but tell you what after we shop, I'll let you dress me up." Being the only girl, she'd let Yumichika use her as his little doll, though at this point she just wanted an excuse to put it off for later.

"That's a wonderful idea! We'll have some drinks, and we can gossip a bit! I can't wait to tell you what I saw Shuhei looking at~" He laughed giddily, though (Y/n) was distracted by the sight of her Captain. For once his hair was down, not a single bell in sight. For once the young woman found her breathing stopped and heart racing, she had never blushed before and it was a struggle to keep her cheeks from turning red. "Hey Captain, running a little late aren't ya?" Ikkaku looked to the large male, both men noting that their boss wasn't sporting his usual hair style. "Yachiru left to do something with that Matsumoto woman, so I woke up late and I need her to put the bells on for me." The large man huffed, running his fingers through his long hair.

"Well now that we're all here we should get going, there's a cute little shop that sells jewelry I think you'll like." Yumichika grabbed the hand of a flustered (Y/n) and began dragging her off, leaving the two men behind them to catch up. "I got some questions for you when we get back.~" The black-haired man winked at the girl, making her face catch fire as she cursed how observant he was.

Though she quickly calmed down as the other two caught up, Kenpachi on her left and Ikkaku to Yumichika's right. "Thanks for doing this Captain, I know you probably don't care much for this stuff." She spoke up and looked to the large male, she couldn't tell if he was looking at her because of his eye patch but she knew he heard her by his grunt. "Ain't like I'm doing much anyways, besides if I said no, I'd have to listen to Yumichika's whining." Yumichika gave an offended gasp which made (Y/n) laugh, she missed the slight darkening on the captain's cheeks that formed at the sound of the young woman's laughter.

          ~~~Time Skip~~~

                     5:30 p.m.

          (Yeah I know right)

(Y/n) gave a yawn as she sat on the ground in a small meeting room in the squad 11 compound, the young woman wore a (F/c) dress. It tied behind the neck with a heart shaped collar as it clung to her upper body, the skirt was looser and came to mid-thigh. This was something Yumichika picked out for her, it made her a bit self-conscious given how plump her thighs were though Yumichika thought it looked great on her and talked about how popular such dresses are in the world of the living. He had gotten dressed up, having bought a top that he said he saw in the world of the living called a 'button up' as well as some pants.

Currently the two sat across from each other, they had a drink or two already and she listened quietly as Yumichika talked about how he caught Shuhei looking at Rangiku's chest when delivering paperwork. "So, let's talk about you, I saw how you had been eyeing the captain this morning.~" The young man grinned as he poured her another drink, chuckling as he watched the woman try and block her face with the sake glass while she downed the drink to buy herself time to come up with an answer.

"He just... Looks good with his hair down is all..." Her cheeks only darkened as she listened to Yumichika hum, watching as he pointed his finger at her and downed his drink. "Ah but it's more than that, you've always had a look in your eyes when you see the captain." The woman fell silent as she swirled her refilled drink, watching the clear liquid a moment. "I've never put much thought into it... I do find the man attractive; his personality is enticing and he's so strong he leaves me in awe... But I've always told myself he was out of my reach..." She spoke steadily despite the hazy feeling in her head and swallowed her drink down, the young woman missed the look of confusion on her friend's face. The male had never seen her like this, she was always cheerful or feisty but the look on her face was one he could only describe as disappointment.

"What do you mean by 'Out of reach?', of all women you're closest to having his attention." His words surprised her, the young (H/c) head looked at him in confusion as he downed his drink and refilled both of their glasses. Though before she could answer him the door slammed open, their captain came in with a huff. "I was looking for you two." (Y/n) looked back only to blush at the sight, Kenpachi was only in his hakama and his hair still down only it was somewhat damp, so she assumed he took a bath while she and Yumichika were trying on clothes. "Is something wrong Captain?" Yumichika quirked an eyebrow and tried not to laugh at the way the girl seemed to quietly die, Kenpachi sat down with the two and looked up at them. "Ikkaku is off doing something and Yachiru fell asleep right after getting back, so it's been pretty boring."

(Y/n) had stood and went to grab another sake glass from the cabinet, unaware of the golden orb that was locked on her form. "So that's one of those worlds of the living outfits you got? It looks good on you. These uniforms really don't do anyone justice." He watched the blushing girl return and set down a large sake glass, grinning a bit at the generous pour she had when filling it. "Thank you, Captain, I was a bit worried it didn't fit my body type..." She sat and refilled her glass before passing the bottle to Yumichika, she watched Kenpachi down his drink before she did the same with her own. "The hell you talking about girlie? Since when have you ever cared about body type?"

Yumichika had simply sat back to watch, only moving to refill their cups when needed. (Y/n) only shrugged, swirling her drink a little. "I mean I am still a woman Captain; I do put some stock in my appearance..." She downed her drink, listening to the large man scoff after he had done the same. "Listen up sweetheart cause I'm only saying it once, you look damn fine and any man who says otherwise is really just a boy. Physical appearance isn't everything, from what I've seen you're also good at kicking Ass and you ain't fucking dumb." They had finished the first bottle and were starting the second, the more the two had to drink the more open they got. Yumichika wasn't even drinking that much anymore too busy watching what he hoped was his ship setting sail.

(Y/n) could only blush deeply at her Captain's words, downing another drink. "Thank you, Captain, aside from Yumichika I really don't hear that stuff often lately... So, I guess I started to doubt myself." Kenpachi chuckled at that, leaning forward so they were face to face. "Well then, maybe I'll have to remind you every chance I get.~" He had practically cooed his sentence, and it was in that moment (Y/n) broke. She lunged at the male and knocked him on his ass, straddling him and gripping his haori as she laid claim to his lips. Yumichika was left utterly astonished, his Captain feeling the same way at first though Kenpachi quickly recovered and soon enough their kiss became like a heated battle. Yumichika was quick to flee before things got too heated, making his way to the bar where he knew several members of the Shinigami Women's Association were having drinks so that he could fill them in on the new development.

A Runaway's Journal

Masterlist

June 3rd, 1998

We had a crazy few days. My new name is Jakob now. We are going to Germany right now and Mom is asleep on the bus. There's no stops along the way so she says she can finally rest. We left Uncle Stuart's house after we were there for nearly a week. I did a lot of training with the gun. Mom also taught me some hiding tricks and fighting things too. Mom also gave me a bunch of rules that I have to follow or we might get found.

That didn't really help that much. Uncle Stuart said that some of my father's people were in England and that some of them tried to get into his house. His guards killed them but that made Mom really not want to stay longer. We were still waiting for our passports though so Mom got them the next day. That's when I became Jakob.

Then we left. Uncle Stuart gave us a car and we started driving south so we could eventually get to Germany but we'd only been driving for a little while when another car started shooting at us. Mom started speeding and driving like crazy and there was glass everywhere because they shattered the back windshield. I had to stay ducked down and I couldn't see anything. Then the shooting finally stopped but Mom kept driving until she was sure we had lost them. We abandoned the car and Mom stole another one. I feel bad when we steal cars but Mom says if we don't, then we'll be caught.

We finally made it to a motel Mom wanted to stay at. We sleep with guns under our pillows and it hurts my head but Mom says too bad, I have to get used to it. I guess I will because I'm already starting to get used to it. Anyway I didn't sleep very well but I slept in the car the next day and when I woke up we were in Germany. We found an empty warehouse to sleep in. Mom says that Uncle Stuart thought it would be a good place to hide for a little while.

I'm not really sure where in Germany we are. Mom says she'll tell me more once she figures things out. She made me hide in a dark closet for hours the other day because she needed to go out to get some groceries. I had to sit still and not make any noise. She had a special knock so I would know when she was back. Then I heard someone walking around and talking and it definitely wasn't Mom. I had my knife and gun ready in case they opened the closet but they never did. It got quiet after a while. When Mom got back and let me out, the boxes of stuff that had been on the shelves were knocked over and stuff was scattered everywhere. We left right after that. Mom drove to the bus station and got two tickets. 

Mom says she won't ever call me Nathaniel again. I don't really mind though because that's my father's name too and I am scared of him. He wants to kill us. She still only speaks in German to me and it's a lot easier to understand her now. I can understand a lot when other people talk to us or when they talk to each other. I already knew a lot but now that it is all I am allowed to speak, I'm a lot better.

I think I'm going to try to sleep now. I'm bored.

[angelcake-69]

Since my last post reached my goal of a total 1 WHOLE note, I decided to make another part.

(I was gonna do this anyway)

Kuroo x Reader Pt.2

Part 1 here

Chapter 2) More Nekoma ;)

Y/ns P.o.v

At the end of the tryouts coach Nekomata told us to come back to the gym in the morning to get our team jackets. While we were walking home I saw a cat hiding in a bush, I decided to approach it.

"Hey there, kitty.." I whispered as I patted my leg. The cat slowly approached me. It sniffed my hand for a second before it licked my finger. Casey and Cheyenne walked up to me.

"Oh my gosh I love cats!" Casey whisper-yelled and Cheyenne agreed.

"I think I might take it home.. there's no collar." I said as I gently picked up the cat and held it against my chest. The cat mowed softly and began purring.

"You should take it to a vet, it might be hurt or sick." Casey said. I nodded.

"Yeah, I'll ask my mom to take me tomorrow." I smiled at them.

We continue our walk and soon I had to leave them to turn down my street. I took off my shoes before I walked in. I saw my mom and greeted her.

"Hey mom, do you think you could take me to the vet tomorrow? I found this cat and I wanna see if it's okay." I said as I held the cat up for her to see.

"Sure sweetie, we can go after you get home from school." She replied before she went back to cooking.

"Thanks ma!" I yelled back.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•Timeskip ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

In the morning I got ready for school then a put a bowl of tuna out for the cat, which reminded me that I still need to name it. Then I headed out to go to school.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•Timeskip ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

When I got to school I met up with Casey and Cheyenne.

"Hey guys!" I yelled at them and they greeted me back. "My mom's gonna take me to the vet for the cat!"

"Perfect! Now we can make sure she's not sick!" Cheyenne said happily.

"Don't you mean purrfect?" Casey joked. I giggled a bit at their joke.

"Tee hee tee hee die" Cheyenne replied.

We walked to the gym together and joked along the way. When we made it to the gym it was just the coach there, he gave us some team jackets and welcomed us. We smiled and said thank you before we left to our classes.

"Guys, isn't this so exciting! We get to be managers!" I said excitedly. Casey nodded.

"Yeah! We'll be able to get a closer look at all the boys." Cheyenne said.

"Don't be nasty."Caseyy told her, I giggled at them.

"I can't wait to meet the guys and become friends!" I said happily as we walked to 1st period.

"Nah, you just wanna see that 3rd year again~" Casey said as Cheyenne giggled and agreed.

I blushed."Guys I do not have a crush on him! He's a third year!" I denied. couldn'tnt see why Casey and Cheyenne thought I had a crush on him, we barely had any interactions and I don't know anything about him. Casey and Cheyenne turned down a different hallway, waving goodbye to me. I waved back before I turned around to get to my class. However, bumped into someone and fell over.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!" I apologized as I stood up. The person chuckled and helped me.

"No need to be sorry. I'm the one who should be sorry." He replied. It was then when I finally looked up at him. It was Kuroo!!?

'Ugh.. speak of the devil..' I thought.

"Are you okay? You fell, you didn't get hurt did you? I can take you to the nurse if you want." He said in a worried tone.

I shook my head. "N-no I'm fine." I cursed myself in my head for stuttering and I smiled. "I have to head to class now!" I said quickly before I speed walked to my class.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•Timeskip ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

After school I met up with Casey and Cheyenne and we walked to the gym. We put our team jackets on and walked in. Only coach Nekomata was in there and he said he'd introduce us to the team when everyone gets here. I stood off to the side nervously, it seemed like Cheyenne was nervous and maybe Casey too but she didn't really seem like it.

"I gotta admit it guys.. I'm kinda nervous..." i said. Cheyenne sighed.

"Yeah me too.." Cheyenne replied.

"Come on guy's.. we'll be fine~ and the guys probably won't even notice us." Casey tried to reaasure us.

"I guess you're right.. but it's nerve-wracking!" I said nervously. Casey chuckled at my reaction.

Before I could tell her off for laughing at my misery, some of the guys came in, they were looking at us and I immediately felt embarrassed. I looked around at the guys, it seemed that Casey was right about the fact that they wouldn't pay us any mind. As I was looking around I saw Kuroo walking towards me.

"Hey, are you alright? I haven't seen you since earlier, but I wanted to check up on you." He said as he placed a hand on my shoulder.

"Um, yeah I'm fine. I'm doing great!" I said quickly, i could see Cheyenne and Casey smiling at me. I looked back at Kuroo and gave him an awkward smile. I moved his hand off my shoulder.

"Thats good. You guys are gonna be our new managers right?" He replied.

"Yeah!" Cheyenne said as Casey nodded. Kuroo smiled at them.

"Nice, bow Yamamoto won't whine and cry about us not having any." Kuroo said with slight annoyance.

It was then when coach Nekomata decided to cut our conversation short by calling all the boys over to him. He asked Cheyenne, Casey, and me to come stand next to him as he introduced us. I was nervously standing there, slightly behind Casey who patted my shoulder reassuringly.

"These are your new managers! Treat them kindly, they'll be helping you!" Coach Nekomata yelled to the boys. They all nodded and said 'yes sir' before the coach told them to get back to practice.

I breathed out a sigh of relief. "Man.. i thought that was gonna be way worse." I said happily and Cheyenne nodded.

"It was a little awkward just standing up there though.." Casey said and we agreed.

Before I could say anything, a boy with a stupid-looking mohawk came up to us along with Kuroo and another guy who was playing a video game.

"Oh my gosh I can't believe it! We actually have managers!" Mohawk guy said.

"Yeah, it's super cool and super interesting. Enough to get us distracted from practice." Kuroo said in a fake cheerful tone.

"Hi I'm Y/n! It's nice to meet you!" I said happily.

"Hello. I'm Casey." Casey said in a bored, monotone voice with a lazy smile.

"Hi I'm Cheyenne!" Cheyenne said cheerfully. Mohawk guy smiled.

"I'm Yamamoto!" He said proudly, I nodded.

"Oh he's the guy Kuroo was talking about.." I said, Casey nodded.

"Yeah, I assumed so, he seemed pretty happy about us being here and he came right up to us.." She said.

Kuroo dragged Yamamoto away to go practice before he came back.

"Sorry about him" He said.

"Dont be, he's kinda funny to watch." I replied.

"Oh! And this is Kenma! He's my best buddy! Right Kenma?" Kenma didn't respond. Kuroo chuckled "He's just shy!~"

Cheyenne seemed to really like Kenma already as she was walking up to him and watching him play.

"He seems nice!" I said and Kuroo nodded.

"Yeah he's super cool!" Kenma rolled his eyes.

"Quit talking about me.." he mumbled and Kuroo chuckled at him again.

"Well, we better head back to practice before coach knocks our brains out. See ya cuties~!" Kuroo said as he dragged Kenma away with him.

I rolled my eyes at the nickname and went to grab a clipboard and make notes on practice.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•Timeskip ~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

After practice was over I took off my team jacket, it could get pretty hot in the gym I was surprised to see Casey still wearing hers.

Cheyenne, Casey, and I were about to start walking home when Kuroo approached us with Kenma.

"Hey, I thought I might walk y'all home.. and Kenma wanted to come too!" He said cheerfully. Kenma made a face that told me that wasnt true.

"Okay, come on then. You guys are welcome to walk with us!" I said happily. Casey nudged me.

"You wanna spend more time with your boyfriend huh~?" She teased me.

I blushed. "I told you I don't like him like that!" I whispered back. She chuckled and said 'sure.' I shook my head, she could be so annoying sometimes. 'Why do they insist on torturing me..?' I thought as we continued walking.

When we were walking around the corner where we saw the kitten Kuroo seemed like he was looking for something but he quickly returned to looking in front of us.

"I didn't know you guys lived around here." Kuroo said.

"Yeah, but we live on different streets." I replied, Kuroo smiled.

"I live around here too.. and so does Kenma, right Kenma!?" Kenma shrugged, I get the feeling that he doesn't really like us.

"Me n Kenma are neighbors." He said and I nodded.

"Cool, I wish me, Casey, and Cheyenne were neighbors." I said sadly.

Casey and Cheyenne said their goodbyes before they turned to their streets, which left me, Kuroo, and Kenma alone.

'This is so awkward! I don't know anything about these guys! What do I say! God.. why are they still here, they can't live that close to me can they? I've never seen them walking to school.' I thought as we continued walking.

"Well this is my house so-"

"This is your house?" Kuroo interrupted me and I nodded. "Cool, we're neighbors!" He happily stated as he pointed to the only house next to mine. I looked at it in shock.

'Oh God you've got to be kidding me..'

"Wow.. that's so cool!" I said as I turned to them and smiled. "... well, see yall tomorrow!" I said awkwardly as I speed-walked to my front door. From the corner of my eye I saw Kuroo and Kenma leave to go to their houses. I entered my house with a huff and the kitten greeted me with a small meow. I picked her up.

"Mom! Come on let's take her to the vet!" I shouted. A minute later my mom emerged from her bedroom and walked downstairs to greet me.

"He sweetie, come on let's go!" My mom said as she grabbed her keys.

I followed her out the door and we entered her car, I sat with the kitten in my lap and she fell asleep, purring.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•Timeskip~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

After the check-up the vet told us the kitten was fine but was slightly underfed. We took her home and made her a nice big bowl of food for her with fish and cat food. The kitten happily ate it. I sighed and began to help my mother with dinner and we talked about my day and hers. After dinner I headed upstairs to get ready for bed, the kitten came in and crawled next to me and we cuddled. That's when i suddenly remembered something very important, I hadn't named the cat. I thought about a few names, whiskers.. ew no, mittens.. meh too basic, cuddles..? Maybe.. I decided to sleep on it for now.

GOT CAUGHT BY DUMBLEDORE

ideas source: TikTok

Short Fanfic

Lyla and I was enjoying our lunch in the Great Hall. Suddenly, I got called to meet Professor Dumbledore in his office. so, I finished my meal in rush and left Lyla behind. she didn't really bother I got called to Dumbledore's Office, she was busy preparing notes for Transfiguration class. the only thing I could hear from Lyla was,

"Hope you don't get expelled, Elga!'

I didn't respond her. I was rush down to Dumbledore's office. who else didn't get panic after got called to Principal Office? even though you didn't do nothing, but still. it's Dumbledore's office, and I was in the middle enjoying Steak and Kidney pie.

as soon as I entered the office, Dumbledore calmly greeted me.

''are you looking for me Professor?", I asked.

"Yes. how was your last class, miss Blanc?", asked Dumbledore. he was busy looking for a book in his giant bookshelf.

"It was fun actually. Mrs. Sprout taught us about how to take care Mandrake. fun, but a bit loud.", yes it was fun, but it hurt my ears.

"Seems like you have a great time in Hogwarts, miss Blanc...." said Dumbledore after he pulled out one book from the shelf and open them. ".... is there anything else bothering your sleep?", asked him.

"I don't think anything is bothering me while I sleep anymore. It's been a week since I had weird dreams.", I replied to his question. I started had a weird since I entered the 3rd year. Lyla said that sometimes I'm not awake when she tries to wake me up for a dozen times, and I always end up in the Hospital Wing when I wake up.

"that's good then. but I want to ask you one question. how did you get into Hogwarts, miss Blanc?"

"Just like everyone else, I got a letter. Professor McGonagall sent it to me."

"You didn't answer to my question. how did you get into Hogwarts?"

"I don't understand, Professor."

"Let me give you one simple question. who are you, miss Blanc?"

"I am Elga Blanc. I am in the 4th year in Slytherin.", I answered and completely confuse by the questions professor Dumbledore asked.

"You still didn't answer to my question, but that's alright. sometimes it's hard to memorize things you have from two different place...."

I didn't really say anything to what Dumbledore just said but gave him a confuse look.

"..... It's correct that what I am looking at right now is Elga Blanc. but what is inside her, it is not her. Correct me if I'm wrong, miss Brooke."

when he finally mentioned the name, I started thinking some unfamiliar memories. I wasn't sure why I can have these memories.

"that's alright, miss Brooke. as soon as I realized that you're not Elga Blanc, is when you were having a hard time waking up from your sleep. Pardon my behavior for collecting your memories while you were in Hospital Wing, but I collected a different memory than what was supposed to be there. the one that is not familiar in this world."

I didn't quite catch what Dumbledore just said. but these memories were getting familiar to me.

"I must tell that that is a fascinating case that happened to the muggle. entering the magical world by dream. By day, you're living your life as Isla Brooke in a Muggle World. but when the night comes, you're living Elga Blanc's life in here. you might not realize it, miss Brooke. because to you in a muggle world, you're just dreaming. I don't know about your family history, miss Brooke. maybe it has something to do with it. But you're starting to lose your old memories and living this life as a complete Elga Blanc, and I can't let that happen."

"If I continue my life as Isla Brooke, then it means that I have to leave Hogwarts and the People behind." I responded to all what he just said. if it's real that I am Isla Brooke, then I have to leave this world.

"no one, even the strongest wizard or witch can live two lives at the same time." he answered.

"But can I come back here, Professor?"

"You can, miss Brooke. I bet you're always find a way to come back here. I am waiting for your return as Isla Brooke....." he closed the book and then walked to me. "And remember, Hogwarts always welcomes you.", smile drawn on his face.

then, I woke up from my dream. the only thing I could remember is "Hogwarts always welcomes you". and then I thought, I don't even know what Hogwarts is. maybe it's just some pieces of dream that I could remember.

Tamalog Day 11

When everyone woke up at 7AM, i fed Picochutchi some Roast Beef and Kuchipatchi some Hamburguer (one of his favorites!), Himetchi was doing alright so when the others were ready i called the Sitter for everyone so i could get some sleep.

At 1PM, i woke up, got myself ready for work and went on to have something to eat, while i was eating, Himetchi asked me to make an album and i was like "an album? neat! lets do it." and after selecting the pictures i saw this really long and heartbreaking animation of them saying like "thanks for everything" and getting on the Tama Spaceship, then they go to the Tama Planet and look at the Album and START CRYING WHILE THE PHOTOS YOU SELECTED SHOW UP ON SCREEN. After that they'll give you a new egg for you to take care of but man, that really affected me, i wasn't expecting that today, they just had to make it more bitter than sweet, huh? Well, that's why i love Tamagotchi, they matter so much to me and are the cutest and most interesting things in the world for me.

Anyways, we got a baby boy, and after taking good care of him for a bit, he turned into a Fuyofuyotchi, which is one of the cutest Tamas i've ever seen. He ate a lot through the afternoon and even had some of the Sponge Cakes i made with Himetchi, we didn't play yet, but Depagatchi did come into the house and danced a little with Fuyofuyotchi, which again, was kinda confusing but really cute. Kuchipatchi ate a lot of burguers today, but hey, it's his favorite food so he doesn't care, keeping him happy is pretty easy also, but that does not mean i'll just forget about him, as i make sure that if i check on one Tama i shall also check on the others too. Picochutchi and i spent a lot of the afternoon together, as i did go out today and brought her with me to do some Tama Searching which was a big success, we got so many tier 2 and tier 3 stickers and met some new Tamas too, one of my favorite things to do on the Uni is Tama Seaching for sure. I could also use the Tama Walk but i think i would want to complete my Sticker album before doing the full care icon run for the Tama Walk icon.

At night much of nothing happened, i just checked on Fuyofuyotchi, and he was doing great so i just left him to his 'being cute' business, Picochutchi and i went to the TamaVerse for the Tama Arena event and we had basically the same performance as yesterday, just one flag to completely put us down into 3rd place, but i'm sure she had some fun doing it as much as i did. We were also versing two Lionetchi so i guess we can say we got beat by children, and they were surfing good alright. After that i fed her some of that good ol' Sumo Style Hot Pot, which she loves, and got her social media picture of the day. Kuchipachi was the last one i checked on, and he was doing fine, so i gave him some pets to raise the fondness meter a bit and then just waited for him to go to bed, which he did, so i helped him fall asleep and even though Picochutchi was still awake, i didn't want to bother her, as we did spend a lot of time together today, so she might be tired of seeing me, lol.

And with that we finished our Tama Day, and oh boy was it an emotional day, i thought the Uni's farewell was pretty sad and bittersweet, but seeing Himetchi go kinda broke my heart. I hope i can keep whoever Fuyofuyotchi turns out to be for a bit more time this time, and i shall miss Himetchi greatly even though i know she is doing fine. Kinda makes me afraid of what type of goodbyes are in the other systems...well, we shall know when we are done with one of these devices, only then i shall buy a new Tama. Thank you for reading, See you tomorrow. =]

[timeoverload]

The past couple days have been ok I guess. Nothing that exciting has happened. I had too much to do last night so I couldn't be on here that much. It's difficult for me to be active on here when I have a lot of stuff to do or when I'm exhausted. I'm not upset about anything or trying to ignore anyone.

It has been busy at work like usual. I heard earlier that it's not supposed to slow down until the end of February so that will be fun. It's rarely that slow anymore.

I know I said I wasn't going to say anything about him anymore but the morning team lead was making me so uncomfortable earlier. He had a migraine and was in a bad mood. I got to work and he was in a rage because they couldn't find the robot accessory tray. I know he isn't intentionally trying to direct his anger towards me but it feels that way when he's swearing and yelling very loud right next to me. I'm generally very calm in those situations and I always try to help people find things. I know that it wasn't worth getting that upset about. They ended up finding it and discovered that someone wrapped the instruments in the wrong pan by mistake. He got so pissed off and was talking to me like I was the one that fucked up. He is so rude and I don't think he realizes it. I ended up having to leave the room and stand in the hallway outside the operating rooms just so I could avoid being alone with him while he was continuing to throw a tantrum. He is off next week and I'm glad about that.

I have been wanting to talk to the director about it but he has way too much to worry about right now and he has been working 12 hour shifts every day. Thankfully my boss is back from medical leave but she isn't working very much so I can't talk to her about it. Hopefully I can talk to someone sometime.

We are still having lots of computer problems and it's making it so hard to get things done. I used to be able to load the autoclave in 30 seconds but now I have to stand at the computer and wait for the program to load. It reminds me of having to use dial-up for internet and I don't miss that. It doesn't help that the computer that is connected to the autoclaves is like 10 years old and needs to be replaced. It's not a huge deal but it's a little inconvenient. There's not much I can do about it anyway.

I don't know if I'm going to be able to take both the 2nd and the 3rd off now. I forgot I have to use PTO for Christmas so I think I will be 2 hours short. I will probably end up working on the 3rd anyway but it's alright I guess. I don't really have anything planned.

I was limping a lot most of the day. I wore my clogs for the last time yesterday. They used to help me so much but now they are too heavy. I wore regular shoes today and it still felt like I had a sandbag strapped to my leg. I thought they might make walking easier but it didn't help that much. I'm not sure what to do about it but I will manage. I tried to get up a little bit ago after sitting for a while and I lost my balance because my leg gave out on me. It's very tingly right now. I'm afraid I'm going to fall sometime but I hope that doesn't happen. It would be nice if my leg felt better tomorrow.

I got off work on time so that was nice. I came home and I cleaned the cat fountain. I tried to clean Soupy and Salazaar's ears by myself and I was unsuccessful. I think I need to take them in the bathroom or something and close the door so they can't run away and hide. It's hard to chase them around and wrangle them up when I'm not moving very fast. I was able to do it last night and of course they hate it so I think they are afraid of me now. I just want them to be healthy.

I'm really hoping that at least one pair of my glasses are ready by Friday because I'm having a hard time. It would be nice to have a couple of days to adjust to them. I wish they didn't cost so much but I'm still looking forward to getting them anyway.

I don't haven't much else to say. I really don't want to do anything the rest of the night and it's hard to get up. I wish I could shut my brain off and relax. I think I'm going to make some food sometime soon and get ready for bed. I need to go to sleep earlier tonight. I'm hoping that tomorrow will be ok.

I hope everyone has a good day tomorrow!!! 💖💖💖

[eyes-talks-ocs]

So. I decided I was going to do something experimental with how I do some POV changes in my book.

It's written in 3rd person, told through one perspective. But there's just so much happening in the story line, and there's parts where the whole group isn''t always together. Sometimes someone is off by themselves.

I have my gripes with POV changes, I never cared for them much, so I just choose not to write them. There's just so much ground to cover in my plot though, that it's almost impossible to write the foreshadowing/hooks needed to make the jumps work without a POV shift.

So, taking after one of my favorite authors. I'm getting weird with some chapters and trying something out of the ordinary. It might not be a single word just repeating for 3 pages straight like something he's done. But. It is different and it's not something I think I've seen before.

There are POV shifts now, but they give very little information and are spoken through a more - poetic (?) style? If you want to call it that? Quick glimpses of what's going on and how the character is reacting/feeling. My intentions with how these POV changes are set up, is to give just enough information to the reader to get a vague idea of what's happening, and to make them curious and confused about wtf is happening.

My chapter 8 is one of those chapters. The previous chapter ends with one of the characters letting his buddy know that he's going to be gone for a day, maybe a couple. He's not sure but he's going for a cruise. Obviously, he's not saying exactly what he's up to, but he's just letting someone know he's not going to be around for a little bit, so nothing to worry about. His buddy knows that he's up to something, but he knows his friend and he's not going to question it. Takes it at face value.

Well, I just had my best friend read the experimental chapter switching POV to the character that just left the group to go on a solo adventure. I asked my best friend what feelings that chapter invoked and if it struck his curiosity enough to really wanna know what's going on.

My best friend said yes, that his curiosity was peaked, but the chapter seemed really melancholy and sounded like this character was just waiting to die. Like it was a suicide note.

That vibe was not at all what I was trying to convey in emotion. I found it really interesting though. As the author, I know what happens after that chapter. So, I'm a bit blind to how a reader would take some of the foreshadowing and bends I make. The emotion and vibe I was trying to hit with that experimental chapter, was more along the lines of desperate or even closer to manic. Not sad or depressing, just chaotic, pessimistic, and maybe even nonsensical. BUT, given who this specific character is. The vibe my friend got from reading the draft, isn't at all out of character for this character either. (Which, given that my best friend didn't know who's POV this chapter was following, made me feel confident that I'm writing my characters consistently and with their own unique personalities that can be felt without saying who it is.)

I just found it really interesting, that out of the possible outcomes of the little glimpse of that character's solo adventure. The conclusion my best friend came to, though not correct, is completely valid and probably wouldn't take the reader by that much surprise if it was the right guess. But the jumbled quick peaks into what was going on, was still exciting enough for a reader to want to know more. Even though the conclusion they formulated was - dark and took me by surprise when they gave their feedback.

I donno. Just rambling about something I found interesting about some feedback I got from someone reading a little draft of a couple scenes.

3RD PERSON POV

It was the day Camilo was getting his gift, Camilo was very scared yet nervous at the same time. He was waiting for this day to come. While they were getting prepared, A kid who was the same age as his walked up to him.

"Hey I'm [Y/N] [L/N], what's you're name?" [Y/N] said with a big grin, hoping they would be friends.

"I'm Camilo Madrigal, I'm surprised you don't know my name considering this whole party is about well, me!" Camilo said looking at the kid with a "🤨" look.

"Silly! I already knew you're name, I just don't know what to say afterwards" [Y/N] said puffed and crossed their arms.

"Anyways wanna be friends? The party is pretty boring without friends." [Y/N] smiled at him.

Camilo looked at the kid and gave it a thought, then looked back at the kid. "Sure, besides You're right the party is pretty boring without friends" Camilo said

"YAY!" [Y/N] said with a happy tone and hugged Camilo. Camilo was surprised with the sudden hug then smiled and hugged back.

"Camilo!" his parents called him.

Camilo heard his parents call his name, and looked at [Y/N]. "I have to go, It's starting" Camilo said in a rushed tone.

[Y/N] Stopped hugging Camilo and let him go, then nodded. " I'll be waiting for you, 'kay?" after [Y/N] said that he ran to his parents.

Camilo went to where his parents called him. After his parents encouraging him, the curtains opened to reveal Camilo. He was nervous because of all the eyes staring at him. He looked to the crowd and saw you smiling at him as if they're encouraging him to walk to his door.

Camilo understood what [Y/N] meant, and walked to his door. he smiled at abuela then went to touch the door knob then all of a sudden he saw his door glowing showing his gift then he suddenly he shape shift to [Y/N].

Abuela looked shocked, So did [Y/N].

AND THAT WAS THE START OF THEIR FRIENDSHIP

PRESENT TIME

3RD PERSON POV

Camilo and Daniella we're talking, while they we're having their conversation a certain [H/C] teen was spying on them behind a bush, surprisingly the two didn't notice

'Finally they're talking it took me weeks to make them have a conversation!' the [H/C] teen looked happily at them

'Ah young love..' The [H/C] teen thought. it's was like a parent looking at their son growing up

While [Y/N] was looking at them happy that they are getting close a certain colombian boy wasn't really happy that [Y/N] cancelled their plans.. Again..

Camilo was really sad that [Y/N] cancelled their plans for this weekend. This has been going on for almost 2 months. After he told [Y/N] about Daniella, she was always the one they we're talking about he getting really irritated.

He wanted to confront [Y/N] but they we're always busy and if they had free time someone would always take them, and if he went to talk to [Y/N] they would run away or say that they don't have time like [Y/N] was avoiding him.

'Did I do something wrong?' Camilo thought he then started thinking of what he done to find out why [Y/N] avoided him.

"Camilo? Helloooo?" Daniella said. She waved her hand to Camilo's face as an attempt to get his attention.

"huh? What we're you saying?" Camilo said realizing that he was still with Daniella.

"Oh, Nothing. It's just that you seem really deep in thought. Why is that?" She said while putting her hand on her chin like some kind of pose.

"Oh, It's nothing for you to worry about.." Camilo said

TIME SKIP

After a few weeks Camilo let [Y/N] be. Like trying to test [Y/N] if they really love him. Sure he felt really hurt but there was nothing he could do almost everyday Camilo looks out his window waiting for [Y/N] to come to his window and play some games

Now about [Y/N] they we're really REALLY worried about Camilo. It's like he's avoiding them [Y/N] felt really sad they always tried to talk to Camilo but they couldn't find him they tried asking his family but they always respond with "I don't know". Oh how the tables turned

[Y/N] Tried finding dolores because they knew that dolores knows where Camilo was. After a few days they found dolores.

"HEY! DOLORES" [Y/N] ran to dolores.

"Oh [Y/N]? Is there anything you need?" dolores said well more like ask

"do you know where Camilo is? I've been looking for him almost for a month!" [Y/N] said in worried yet rushed tone

"Oh Camilo? He's just in his room"

" HE'S BEEN THERE THE WHOLE TIME?!?!?!!?"

" Of course he was"

"THANKS DOLORES" [Y/N] thanked dolores and went to Camilo's room

"Camilo? Are you there?" [Y/N] asked and knocked after a few seconds the door revealed camilo sitting like curled into a ball

"Cam?" [Y/N] said in a worried tone they we're really worried for Camilo

[Y/N] Walked to Camilo and tapped his shoulder

Camilo looked at [Y/N] "Why are you here?"

"Answer my question first why are you avoiding me? Did I do something wrong?"

"Before I answer you're question. Why we're you avoiding me before?"

"Because.. *sigh* I was pairing you up with Daniella. I thought you had a crush on her so I cancelled our plans so that you guys could get together. Now answer my question"

"heh you thought I loved daniella? your so dense" Camilo booped [Y/N]'s nose " I love you not her. I love you [Y/N] ever since we we're 8. I was hurt y'know when you and Juan started hanging out without me. I was hurt when you avoided me. Just to find out that you we're pairing me up with someone I don't even like. But that's what I like about you. How you do so much for me. how you put so much effort for me. I liked you because of how hard-working you are. and How nice and cute you are. I Love You [Y/N] so much. ̶I̶ ̶l̶o̶v̶e̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶m̶u̶c̶h̶ ̶i̶t̶'̶s̶ ̶l̶i̶k̶e̶ ̶a̶n̶ ̶o̶b̶s̶e̶s̶s̶i̶o̶n̶ ̶"

[Y/N] blushed madly like a tomato. "Cam.. I didn't know you felt that way..."

"So do you love me back?"

"OF COURSE I DO!" [Y/N] said in a happy tone and hugged Camilo tight

"you're finally mine" Camilo whispered (surprisingly [Y/N] didn't hear him) like he was waiting for years for this to happen. Which was true

Poor [Y/N] maybe if they didn't have to be friends with Camilo then maybe they wouldn't have been stuck to Camilo

FOREVER.

I'm very sure that this isn't all that great but I had this idea on my head and I thought I might share

Feedback is appreciated 🤍

As you walked next to George down the paddock, you glanced around all the different teams, fans and photographers. It was so easy to get suckered in the atmosphere, the teams' rush to get everything ready, the fans' excitement to see their favourite racers fight for the podium, and most importantly, your boyfriend's chance of having a good race.

As you arrived in the Mercedes hospitality, you greeted everyone and after sharing a few conversations with the team, one of the engineers came to get George, which meant that you would only see him after the race, not wanting to disturb his focus for the hours ahead.

"Go and show them what you can do, my love", you hugged him as you pressed a light kiss to his clothed chest, "I'll be waiting for you to get back here safe and sound". He hugged you tighter and pressed a quick kiss to your forehead, "will do darling", before he gave a final squeeze and left to go get ready.

You chatted away and enjoyed the quiet(ish) time until they started gathering the cars so they could start the race.

Going down to the garage, you were given a headset that allowed you to listen to the radio, and although you couldn't really help strategy wise, it helped you hearing George's voice whilst he was driving. Ironically enough, for someone who didn't particularly enjoy speed and was as cautious as they come, you ended up dating someone who does the opposite for a living, leading you to believe whoever was in control of all of this had a good laugh when they placed the now Mercedes drive in your path.

As the number of laps increased and the fights for the place in front heated, you could sense the confidence in the team as they read all the stats in the screens and looked at the overall race.

"I think we might get a podium today", one of the guys commented and the others agreed, and although you didn't want to jinx it, you couldn't help the giddiness that came over you slowly as you saw the pace his car was going at and the comfortable time and distance he held from the 4th place driver. And as he finished in 3rd place, the whole garage erupted in cheer, congratulating eachother, whilst you still a bit shaken up from it all. He did it again, "Turns out he is the new Mr Consistency, eh?", George's communication assistant said, "it seems so... sorry, I can't even put into words what's going through my head now", you tried to reply, managing to at least successfully clap everyone along with everyone in the garage, waiting for him.

As he exited the car and hugged Toto, you were next, cuddling into him quickly as you expressed your pride in him, "you were amazing, congratulations handsome!", earning a what you thought was a thank you, muffled by his helmet and the noise all around you.

Back at the hotel after dinner, you were doing your nightime routine and you started thinking about something that had bothered you every now and then during the day. All of the wives and girlfriends looked their absolute best, flawless faces and outfits jotted down to the littlest detail, and then there was you: tired eyes (you wanted to be a WomanInSTEM and that had its consequences), acne (apparently that's a thing in adulthood too), and you didn't look at all like them, your curly hair going wild with the little humidity in the air and you knew you did not look like all the models that chose the paddock as their runway.

"You're very quiet love, what's on your mind?", deep in your thoughts you didn't even notice the brit hugging you from behind and settling his head on your shoulder. You contemplated saying it was just tiredness (the dark circles were a solid ally) but one look at George's eyes through the mirror and you knew there was no way you were going to get away with it.

"Why me? I don't look like all of the other women in the paddock today and", you gathered your thoughts as George let you do so without interrupting, "it's just, I find it quite weird how I am in there, when you could have someone else? I don't know, maybe it's silly and now I'm ruining your podium and..."

You were stopped by your boyfriend, "Can I say something now?", he said gently whist grabbing your hands that were now playing with his fingers that rested on your mid section, and you nodded, "I love you so much, and there is no one else I'd rather be celebrating my podium with... you are so beautiful to me, it's still astonishing to me how someone so gorgeous and so smart is lying next to me everytime I go to sleep and wake up in the morning. I'm the only one in the paddock who can say their girlfriend is a PhD, how amazing is that?", he said as his hands touched the skin on your tummy under the pyjama set you were wearing.

You turned around and looked at him eye to eye (stretching your neck incredibly so you could see because he was a tower compared to you), and pressed little kisses to his lips, "thank you my love, sorry for bringing the mood down", you apologised. "Who said the mood is down and, most importantly, that I am finished, miss Y/L/N?", he said moving the both you you to the bedroom section, making you lay on the bed, "I plan on spending the rest of my evening here, complimenting you and showering you with affection if you'll let me. Besides, you looked so good in that dress today, my love, I've been thinking of all there was underneath it since I saw you put it on this morning. And I think that's a fair prize for a podium winner, right?", he said as he peppered kisses along your face, neck and chest, "let me show my beautifull girlfriend how much she means to me", continuing his ministrations on your skin.

Little note: you're beautiful and amazing, smart in your own away, don't let anyone bring you down 🤍

DEFENSE MECHANISM (nolan booth)

(Gif not mine)

AN: i tried my level best to keep this gn. So i avoided fem/male pronouns to the best of my abilites. Pls lmk if i unkowingly added some.

(Pardon my grammar. Eng is not my first lang)

Req (?) : yes @icantthinkofanunqiueusername

icantthinkofanunqiueusername What about a Nolan Booth (Red notice) Reader insert, Where the reader is a fellow theif who wants the eggs jsut for the sake of having them, This creates a sort of rivalry between her and Nolan but its friendly and they work with eachother and Yeah, Shit happens and then they kiss and live happily ever after

You were sipping your (stolen) wine when you got an anonymous call, saying that someone was actually trying to steal the eggs of cleopatra. The eggs were what brought you into this line of business but you gave up when you couldn't find the 3rd one. You sold the other two eggs which set you up pretty nicely and funded your future "projects". When you got news that the third egg was being hunted down, your curiosity got the better of you. Who was the person who knew the location of the third egg?

THAT FUCKER? NOLAN FUCKING BOOTH? OF ALL PEOPLE IT HAD TO BE H I M ?

You wanted to curse every single being in the universe. Sure he was hot and good loking and incredibly sexy but he was also annoying, a bitch and a know-it-all. He had constantly managed to ruffle your feathers and make fun of you. You guys were initially good friends but there was a time when you guys almost kissed. That kind of caused Nolan to back off from the friendship you had and he started the whole "lets make fun of the only friend i have so that i dont have to actually tell my feelings thing." Ofcourse you knew this but you were still pissed that he wouldnt let you back in.

So naturally, when you got the tip off that he was helping anothet thief steal the egg, you tracked him down because you knew, Nolan would blindly walk into danger and then throw sarcastic comments as a defence mechanism. You wouldnt admit it, but a part of you whished he would be happy to see you. The other part just wnted to see the look on his face wheb you stole the egg from him.

(Time skip i'm so sorry)

You pulled your mask further down your face as you stood among Das' group of men. You eyed Nolan and saw him holding the egg. There was another woman and man with him and you couldnt help but feel jealous at the sight of them. Both of them were well built and you felt small in comparision. Shaking off the feeling, you jumped into action as tge car chase started. You drove the green army tank and almost caught up with Nolan before another tank hit into yours. The break meant Nolan and the others sped off. Sighing, you looked around for something that might help you. You found a map of the place and realised that the only escape in their direction was jumping into a pond. Smirking to yourself, you ran the opposite direction, and waited for the prize to fall into your hands.

(Another Time Skip I'm sorry >_< >_<)

You stood behind the bushes and waited for Nolan to get out of the water. You saw him climb out, hair stuck to his forehead and clothes stuck to his body, showing off his well - built structure. You snaped yourself out of your hungry gaze when you realised that he had been double conned by the bishops. You saw them handcuffing Nolan to a tree and running away. You stood in your spot for a few more minutes before making you way towards him.

"Miss me?"

The look on his face was far better than anything you couldve ever imagined. Oh how badly he wanted to kiss you.

"What're you doing here? Like seeing me handcuffed, do you?"

Ah there he was. Back at it again. The defence mechabism kicking in. You simply shrugged.

"Oh yes. It makes me want to do things" you replied, stepping closer to him. His eyes flickered onto your lips before looking into your eyes.

If he wasnt going to do it, you would. Besides, there wasnt anywhere he could run now, was there?

You smashed your lips onto his, and he reciprocated. You ran your hand along his chest and rested them behind his neck. When you broke apart for air, Nolan heard a click and fell his cuffs falling off. He looked over at you, impressed, before pocketing them with a wink.

Fight Diavolo; The Aftermath

A/N: The single most request sequel I've ever gotten- I'm sorry for the wait but hope gives some closure for the original

GN!MC (they/them, 3rd ppov)

Word Count: 1.7k

MC looked over Lord Diavolo's shoulder to take in the moon, knowing full well that this might be the last time they can appreciate its beauty. They tapped their foot in time to the ticking of the grandfather clock, an annoying little tick-tick-tick, but still tolerable compared to the beeping of the heart rate monitor they'd woken up attached to.

MC had woken up that morning in the hospital, a cracked skull and some heavy bruising, but no concussion. With the way the brothers fretted around them, but refused to answer questions, MC completely forgot about the argument, until Barbatos walked in.

"MC. You've been summoned to meet Lord Diavolo in the student council room at lunch."

Now here they sat, clear across the room from each other. The brothers weren't subtle about the wall they made, standing between MC and Lord Diavolo. Barbatos, Solomon, and Lucifer all stood somewhere in between, only 1 actually looked neutral about the matter though. The silence stretched out into minutes, but neither made a move to apologize, or even speak first. If MC didn't know better, they would have guessed Barbatos was manipulating time to make them more anxious and unsettled, but that would be silly.

What did demons have to fear from 1 human student?

Diavolo straightens up to speak, and the brothers jostle in turn, crouching into slightly more defensive stances. Diavolo gives them a once over before speaking.

"This meeting can't continue as is, would you all leave the room?" In this moment, you remembered that he was truly PRINCE Diavolo, future leader of the Devildom. He didn't sound anything like the cheery student council president, or the prince that liked to pull hijinks on the brothers every month. This was a man who wasn't to be questioned, only obeyed. The brothers exchanged nervous looks, but no one moved. Asmo turned to give Lucifer a pleading look, but Barbatos spoke up first.

"My lord, I think it would be better if they stayed, but perhaps against the back wa-"

"You need to leave as well Barbatos. Solomon as well, but that should go without saying."

These 2 days were full of unprecedented events.

Barbatos hesitates for only a moment before giving Lord Diavolo a curt bow and walking out of the room, everyone else following suit. A few gave you tiny smiles in reassurance, most looked like they were trying to memorize your face before it could be lost to time. With the wave of his hand, a symbol burned into the door, making sure it was shut tight and, Lord Diavolo turned to appraise MC.

"Now. I've given some thought to what happened yesterday, and MC- I think I can forgive you if you apologize." MC's shoulders squared in indignation, but they were able to keep their voice fairly nonchalant.

"Funny, here I thought you were going to apologize to me. I tried to answer your questions as best as I could, not only as the human representative, but as someone who was trying to be your friend- and you mocked me?" If MC was being entirely honest, they couldn't remember the exact topic the fight was over, only the hurt of Diavolo making a joke of something they took so seriously. Maybe they were blowing this out of proportion, but Lord Diavolo wasn't off the hook either.

"You would say that was a reasonable reaction? Attacking me?"

"I might have taken it... a smidge too far, but what, would you say your actions yesterday were prince-ly? You laughed at me, and when I tried to tell you that that was kinda fucked up you treated me like a child. Tell me, was it because I'm human?"

"Solomon wouldn't have reacted like that." MC bit back a venomous smile, an anger-reaction they'd picked up from Satan; 'it's like he's trying to start another fight.'

"You could probably kill Solomon's mother in front of him and all he'd say is 'whack'. But, he'd still get you eventually, when you trust him most. He doesn't seem like a 'forgive our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass us ' type of guy."

"MC."

Never had their name sounded so threatening before, and yeah, maybe referencing the bible in the Devildom hadn't been the best idea, but if they were going to die to anyone in this hell, dying to the demon prince would be kind of a flex.

"Even with a cracked skull, you can stand there and act so bold. I really should commend you MC," Diavolo's voice was anything but approving. MC notices as his finger nails silently tapped against his council chair, nails looking a bit longer and sharper than normal.

"I'm always game for a round 2," MC said, knowing damn well that the best they could do is summon a puddle of water and hope Lord Diavolo slips.

"I promise that you wont have the same element of surprise as before."

"Why dont you swing at me and we'll test that theory out?" They both jumped to their feet, but neither took the next step forward. The breathing in the room grew ragged in anticipation. As MC continued to stare at him, the edges of his demon form starting to peak through, Diavolo suddenly looked bitter, a rueful grin as he spoke next.

"You know, if I were to kill you right now, I think Lucifer would come in and try to kill me."

"Funny, I was going to say the same to you," but at the mention of Lucifer, MC stood there and started to feel a bit ridiculous. Were they really going to get themselves killed over their pride? Can't they just take some satisfaction in having gotten the demon prince so riled up? Diavolo seemed to register their remorse, and pushed down his own irritation to try extending the olive branch again.

"MC, I didn't mean to belittle you. And I certainly didn't mean to crack your skull, but I do think there is an apology in order."

"Oh, I absolutely meant to hurt you, but then again I don't make fun of things I don't understand about the devildom." MC slowly started making their way to the center of the room, keeping an eye out for any sudden movements from Diavolo. "I dont mind dying here, not much at least. But I wouldn't really be the only thing 'dying', now would I? ...... Somehow, I feel like we're speaking 2 different languages, both insulted and expecting an apology, but neither really wanting to yield."

"I'll apologize-"

"Would you actually? Or would it be one of the bullshit formalities you do out of duty?" Now it was Diavolo's turn to be quiet, understanding this situation just a little bit better than before. It wasn't enough to have manners and etiquette, all the formal training in the world didn't mean shit if it wasn't genuine as well. After living so many years of fake smiles and faker relationships, MC was calling out Diavolo for something he hadn't even remembered was rude to so many others. Their fight yesterday was the first time he'd ever tried to pull the bullshit prince formalities on them and look how it escalated.

"I guess we both still have some communication barriers to work through." MC takes the final step forward to the dead center of the room and stretches out their hand. Not a peace offering, or even asking to wipe the slate clean, but a stalemate. "So, Prince Diavolo of the Devildom, will the exchange program meet it's end here?"

---------------------------------

(( POV; outside the council hall ))

"Get away from the door Mammon, eavesdropping isn't going to do you any good."

"Well what if MC needs me?!"

"By the time you get inside, there won't be anything you can do."

"Satan, ever the voice of reason." Asmo's flat tone was edged in resentment. This is one of the few times in his life he had absolutely no control over a situation and he hated the feeling. No amount of pouting or seductive glances could placate the demon prince. He couldn't even be convincing enough to stay in the room. So instead Asmo stood by Solomon in the corridor, pretending to pick off lint and dust to stop him from wringing his hands.

Mammon and Belphegor continued to eaves drop while Satan, Lucifer and Barbatos stood opposite to the door. Asmo glared at Beel and Levi, their pacing was really starting to piss him off; he hadn't even notice Solomon staring at him for the last 2 minutes.

"Lucifer, Barbatos," Solomon spoke casually, seemingly the least affected by this entire situation. "How tall is MC?" Barbatos and Lucifer share a side glance before Lucifer answers, still trying to keep his voice neutral.

"I don't know off the top of my head, but it's probably on their student transcripts. Why?"

"Oh, I was just wondering how much MC's coffin would cost-"

"SOLOMON!" multiple voices snarled in protest, and Solomon couldn't even focus on the pain of Asmo's nails piercing through his jacket and into his skin before he was pinned to the wall by the neck. Beel's hand covered all of Solomon's neck, and while he was applying some pressure, Solomon wasn't struggling to breathe. Yet. Half the brothers stood frozen, torn between helping Solomon and throttling him themselves. Lucifer made no move to help, and Mammon stayed by the door, trying to listen in although his blood had also spiked with Solomon's little remark.

Asmo, Levi, and Satan moved to pull Beel off, and in that horrible reflex of his, Levi made an equally dark joke.

"Come on Beel, let's not make Devildom's humans extinct in one day." He hated himself the second the joke was out, but Levi knew that was exactly the kind of joke MC would make and that somehow made it a little better. Before his brothers could rip him a new one, Mammon yanked Belphegor back and they stood out of the way as the door swung open. There was a collective sigh of relief when MC appeared at Lord Diavolo's elbow, seemingly unharmed.

"Yes Beelzebub, today isn't the day for a human massacre, so how about we all go to Ristorante Six?"

Elegance

Request: I can't find ur masterlist for the requests but maybe u could do an scenario with Jumin and a artist MC? Just some fluff, he seeing her work and joining in or just watching her 🥺 if that's not difficult.

This is such an adorable ask, I love it and I hope you like how I wrote it:)

There weren't many interesting things to do at Jumin's apartment when you first moved in. Some books that Jumin had collected over time, and wine. That was pretty much it. Since it was frowned upon to day drink everyday, you needed to find something to keep yourself occupied during the long days that your boyfriend was gone at work. Sure, Elizabeth the 3rd is great company, but you were on the verge of being stir crazy.

It was the weekend so Jumin was home with you to ease your boredom. You were both still in bed even though it was 10am. You were content staying in each others arms for the entire day, but Jumin was always up and moving doing something. You loved that about him to. He always worked so hard so you didn't have to lift so much as a finger.

You were suddenly broken out of your thoughts by a soft kiss being placed on your temple. You melted into Jumin's touch, knowing this was his way of saying it was time to get up. He gripped you hand as a stood up, pulling you with him. He was fully standing on the cold floors while you were sitting on your knees, still in bed, curiously facing him. He grabbed your hips and pulled you closer until he was just inches away from your lips. You had been with Jumin for over a year and he still found a way to give you butterflies everyday. It was perfect.

"What do you want to do today, my love?" He asked.

"Hmmm..." You paused a moment thinking of something new to do with Jumin. Looking around at all of Jumin's expensive art work, your mind landed on a great idea. "Can we go to the art supplies store? I want to start painting again." You hummed.

He raised an eyebrow at you and smirked. "You enjoy painting, MC? I had no idea."

"Don't laugh, I'm actually quite good if I do say so myself." You giggled. You grabbed your phone to show him some pictures of paintings you've created over the years. You got a little embarrassed because they were not exactly fine art like Jumin collected, but they were pretty great. You gave Jumin your phone and allowed him to scroll through some pictures of your paintings.

After a long silence you began to get nervous. Did he not have anything good to say about your artwork? "So..?" you proded.

"Well, I think they're absolutely gorgeous. They aren't as stale and boring like the ones I collect. I had no idea a vibrant style such as this existed." He marveled.

You smiled brightly at his kind words. You were nervous to hear what he had to say but you were glad he was so kind and thoughtful about it.

Jumin told you to get dressed and he would have a driver pick the two of you up to take you to the store for supplies.

Quickly, you got dressed and met Jumin in the kitchen. The two of you got into the elevator and headed down to the parking garage where a driver was waiting for the two of you.

Once you got to the store, Jumin went a little overboard, which you thought was really sweet.

"MC, according to the owner this is the finest paints money can buy, should I have them waiting at the front for you?" He asks holding up a large, variety package of paint.

"Hun, I don't need anything expensive. Who knows if I'll keep doing if for as long as I plan. Things might come up where I don't feel like painting anymore and it'll go to waste." You tried to reason with him but he insisted you have only the best no matter how long you planned to indulge.

He went out of his way to talk to the owner and sought out the best of the best for you. The best paints, the best brushes, the best canvases. He even bought you a giant, clear acrylic organizer for all your new supplies. You were so grateful that he was this supportive of your hobby.

"Jumin, you really didn't have to buy me state of the art supplies. I would have been one hundred percent okay with whatever we would have found. But, I really appreciate this. I love you." You stood on the tip of your toes and pressed a loving kiss to his cheek.

"I know you would have been satisfied with anything, but I want to support you the best I can, and what better way than to supply you with luxury?" He smirked.

This was a side of Jumin you wished the others in the RFA would appreciate. He may seem like a spoiled, trust fund kid, but he really does care about the people in his life, and would gladly assist them in whatever they needed because he doesn't want to keep his wealth all to himself.

The two of you made your way home and you to straight to work. Jumin had some of his staff help him clear out his office so you could have your own space to work on your paintings. You tried to protest against it because where would he work at home?? But he assured you that this was more important than his job. You swore he was more invested in this than you were.

After everything was set up and organized, you got to work. You didn't exactly know where to start but you were eager to begin. You dipped your brush into the colors of your choice and began to glide them onto the canvas. The different strokes and swirls began to create an image in your mind and you went with it. You were so focused on your brush that you didn't notice Jumin staring you down with a love struck look on his face.

"It's coming along beautifully, MC." He mused. He wasn't even looking at you, he was eyeing your half finished painting.

"It's nowhere near done, sweetheart." You giggled, holding the canvas out to him. He smiled at you and snaked his arm around your waist.

"Well, I love it."

Then you got a brilliant idea. You walked over to your neatly organized supplied and pulled out a second canvas and a few new brushes. You sat criss cross on the floor and motioned for him to sit as well. You handed him the canvas and the brushes. "Paint with me." you told him as more or a light-hearted demand rather than a question.

He hesitantly took the materials from your delicate hands. He paused for a moment thinking of where to start. "I don't know if I will be as elegant as you, my love." He said after a while. You couldn't tell if there were hints of insecurity in his statement, but you really did want him to enjoy this with you.

You leaned forward and placed a reassuring hand on his knee, giving it a light squeeze. "Dear, you are the king of elegance." You laughed. "Just try."

He nodded and began to delicately paint the canvas with beautiful blues and greens. After watching him for a moment you began to work on your own painting again.

The two of you sat there for hours in silence, complete concentration was expressed on both of your faces.

You finally looked up at Jumin who was still locked in to his painting. You smiled and held back a laugh. He looked so precious while concentrating. You loved that he was able to immerse himself into a hobby of yours. You knew this wasn't typically up his alley but you loved how hard he was trying for you. You stood up and set your canvas down on the table next to him, finally drawing his attention away from his painting. He followed suit and put his materials aside. You took this opportunity to find a seat on his lap, snaking both arms around his neck and pulling yourself closer into his chest.

"Thank you for this, Jumin. I had a great time. We should really do this more often." You cooed. In this moment you felt so, entirely in love with this man; and you were elated.

"Surprisingly, I had a lot of fun today. i loved spoiling you and I'm really grateful you allowed me to partake." He said bashfully.

You cupped his face with your hands softly and pulled im in for a long kiss. His hands slid up your back, pulling you closer if that was possible. The kiss got more heated as you moved yourself to straddle him. You broke apart for a moment to catch your breath and leaned your forehead onto his. You sighed with content and gave him one last peck on the cheek.

"I love you, Jumin." You whispered.

"I love you most, MC."

3rd Person's Narrative

Los Angeles was Pretty Cold Mid December. Walking down the Almost empty streets, Cup of Coffee in hand with 5layers of Clothing

Looking around searching for someone [Y/n] decided to wait for the person In the Park. Slightly Shivering Because of the Cold Air even though having a Thick layer of clothing. [Y/n] felt A Piece of Cloth being placed around her shoulder, She looked at the material on her shoulder and found a very familiar red cloth, Tensing a Little bit.

She looks behind her to see none other than the Doctor she yearned to be with before. Smiling at him "Hey" He said to her "Hi" [Y/n] said moving a little to the side to give space for the Doctor to sit on

"It's been a While" He smiled sitting next to her. He glanced around them before saying "We should Catch up" A soft look on his face, No sadness or Regret in it, Nodding softly "Sure, There is a nearby Cafe here. It's better to be somewhere warm than somewhere Cold" [Y/n] states

[Y/n] and Stephen both Heads to the small Cafe that Was near the Park. Stephen ordered himself a Cup of Coffee and [Y/n] decided not to order anything as to already having a Drink

They both sat down on a Table next to a Window, Taking sips of their drink an Awkward Silence Laid upon them before Stephen broke it

"How have you been?" Stephen asked Not looking at her, Fearing he might upset her again

"I've been doing good, You?" "I'm glad you are, I'm also doing good" Stephen said as a Newly small smile Placed Upon his Face

[Y/n] smiling back at him, She looked at his hands. Slightly shaking, Oh. He's wearing the watch you gave him.. Stephen hid his wrist when he caught you looking at it

"Sorry, I didn't know we'd bump into each other here. I've been wearing it ever since.." Stephen stopped himself and looked at you, Now sadness slightly hovering his Eyes "I see. I'm glad you're wearing it, I didn't know you'd Wear that watch after you said You didn't like the design" [Y/n] said Laughing slightly understanding immedietly that what he was thinking was Upsetting him that it might upset you, So she tried to Lighten up the Mood

"Look, I'm sorry for the way I treated you. I'm not asking for forgivness nor a relationship with you but I'm asking if we can Catch up to what we have been doing these past 4yrs and maybe be friends again" A weight can be felt leaving the Doctors Chest as he says these words. Tensing a little whike waiting for your reply.

"I understand, I also Understood how You were still inlove with Christine. Don't let it weight you down.. And I would Love to be Friends again" She smiled at him, Placing a hand on his to Ease his Tensed state. Smiling back at her They, He thank her.

"Ofcourse, Didn't we say we both wanted to be friend again?" [Y/n] said, Nodding slightky Stephen said "Well, If anything happens. I'm one calk and one Portal away" He said smiling

Shr smiled back As they both went out of the Cafe where her Fiancèè was waiting for her. She Approached him and gave him a Hug, As he returned it.

Smiling at Both of them before they parted ways. One thing on his Mind

"Maybe in another Reality"

Sorry this is Late. Also I thought It'd be funny to make Dr. Strange's Actor (Benedict Cumberbatch) [Y/n]'s Fiancèè. If You didn't like the idea :D

Also If you wanted to Have [Y/n] and Strange be together. I am sorry for the disappointment

Thanks for Joji and Mac DeMarco for the Songs that Inspired me to write this part sjsjsbs
