Tucker stumbles a bit and looks around shocked, he was too lost in thought to process that the game had started again Olive: Silver!! That wasn't very nice!
Silver: I SAID "heads up"! What else do you want me to do!! Olive gives Silver a angry pout expression and the bull returns the expression mockingly Copper moves closer to the fence, trying to peer over at Tucker Copper: A-are... are you o-okay Tucker? Tucker: Huh y.. yeah! Yeah I'm... Tucker looks around for a moment, his eyes readjusting to the area around him Copper:... M-maybe you n-need a break? Silver: Aww come on! The game JUST restarted!
Tucker: N-No! I'm.. I'm fine! I just... was... thinking... i-is all.. Silver lets out a overdramatic gasp Silver: YOU CAN THINK?! Olive tosses some grass clippings over at Silver in response Tucker shakes his head from side to side, as if trying to shake the memory from his mind. He grabs the apricorn and faces the others again Tucker: I'm ready again! Olive and Silver cheer in response and return to their positions Copper gives Tucker a concerned expression, but soon returns to their spot for the game to continue
-- -- -- -- [ the talk of the Dogs earlier seemed to have stirred some bad memories for Tucker... But he's fine now... ]

i wanted to share some more from my the ballad of songbirds and snakes au bc im so so so excited!!
so here's another moodboard!
Tumblr media
and a lil snippet:
Buck tilts his head and squints his eyes, studying Eddie in a way that makes him squirm, that makes him feel too exposed but at the same time he doesn't want to hide from it.
"I heard some of the tributes say the mentor with the best tribute wins a prize or something. You must really want it, huh?"
"You can think whatever you want," Eddie grits out. "But you trusted me out there. You had my back just like I have yours. Trust me on this, I don't care about the stupid prize, okay?"
"Whatever—" "What about Maddie, huh? Your sister? If you're not gonna fight for yourself, fight for her."
Buck's breath catches, something flashes in his eyes but it's too fast and Eddie doesn't get the chance to decipher it. "She's fine. This was her last year in the reaping, she's safe now."
"And what about when she has to watch you die in the Arena, Buck? What then? Will she be fine then?" "Do you think I want that? Do you think I wanted any of this?" Buck snaps and Eddie flinches, quickly looking over his shoulder to make sure the peacekeepers didn't hear Buck's outburst. "What choices do I have here, Eddie? What kind of weapon can you give me that will make me get out of this alive? I get what you're saying but something as ridiculous and as dangerous as hope doesn't exist for people like me. It's just another luxury we can't afford."
"Just let me think of something, okay? I'll figure something out." Desperation tinges his every word but at this point Eddie is in too deep to care. "Do you trust me?"
"I don't really have a choice." Buck whispers and that stings, a little zip of hurt shooting through Eddie's heart.
But then—
"Yeah, I trust you, though." Buck adds, softer than his words have any right to be in this kind of situation. Softer than anything Eddie deserves.

~~~
Soulmates were a phenomenon. They'd been there for ages, drawn into the Egyptian tomb paintings, seen in the cave paintings from millions of years ago, talked about in stories passed down from generation to generation. They could be matching drawings, first words, names; all black before the soulmates met and turning gold the moment they talked to each other. There wasn't a scientist in the world who could explain the phenomenon.
You'd received your mark at birth just like everyone else, a sentence running around your wrist,
"No fucking way."
Your parents weren't that happy when you asked at the age of 4 what "fucking" meant but it wasn't that bad. You were happy that you had something unique, something other than the "Hi," or "Excuse me," that was on every other arm.
When you were 13, a little girl on the train pointed to your wrist and asked her mom what it meant. Ever since then, you'd taken to wearing bracelets over it. This had turned out to be a good idea because a few years later you started making Youtube videos. At the age of 16, you started a Youtube channel where you focused on a variety of things; makeup, fashion, games, art, skits and a whole lot more.
At the age of 20, you had a steady following of a little more than a million subscribers, and you had moved to LA to be closer to all your Youtube friends. You hadn't just grown on Youtube, you'd also started a lot of side projects. You were known for the art that you did on the side, along with the makeup palette you'd come out with a year ago. Soon you were planning to release a merch collection, one that you had been working on for a whole year now.
You hadn't met your soulmate at this point but honestly, you didn't really mind. Balancing Youtube and study (along with all your other side projects) was hard. There was no need to add the struggle of love into it... Or that's what you told yourself anyways.
There were days though, days where you wished you had someone to hug, someone to cuddle in bed with, someone to go on long walks with. You didn't let yourself wallow on it that long though. Crying about it was gonna do absolutely nothing.
It started on a rainy day. The story of you and him. You were editing your soon to be uploaded video, an e-girl outfits lookbook, which had been requested by your followers. Your personal style was all over the place and your previous soft girl and cottage care look books had done well, so you decided to continue the series.
You eyes blurred as you looked at the same point of the video, and you sighed, removing your glasses and rubbing your eyes. Your editor was sick and had let you know that they wouldn't be able to edit it by the deadline so here you were, editing it yourself. You stretched in your chair letting out a yawn. You were contemplating on whether to make coffee or not when your phone pinged.
"Nooooo" you whined when you noticed it was on the coffee table that was just a little out of your reach. Stretching your foot out, you tried to grab it between your toes and then sighed when the phone fell.
"I have zero luck, I swear" you muttered to yourself, bending to pick up the phone.
The text was from Rae, asking you to join a game of Among Us. You and Rae had been friends for a bit now, which all started when she came across your art and decided to order something from you. You had chatted and clicked immediately, immediately becoming fast friends. Ever since the lockdown started, she often asked you to join in on Among us games and your friendship had really grown over these past few months.
You sent a quick "sure!" and then went to your table, waiting for the PC to turn on. Quickly tweeting out that you were streaming, you opened up Youtube and turned on the stream, saying a quick hello and letting them know what you'd be doing.
"Rae just invited me guys, I don't really know who's there," you mumbled, replying to a comment asking you who you were playing with.
You squinted your eyes, joining the voice chat and then opening your phone camera to quickly check that you didn't look horrible. Sure you didn't really care about how you looked but it was always good to check that you didn't have anything stuck between your teeth before you turned on the camera.
There was already a conversation going on, between who you thought was Corpse and Sykkuno, judging by their voices.
"Yeah I could totally do that. Get a cat and name it Bingus. I wonder if th-"
You gasped when you heard what they were talking about and unmuted yourself immediately yelling "PRAISE LORD BINGUS" and effectively shocking everyone in the chat.
A moment of silence and then Rae yelled: "OH MY FUCKING GOD Y/N, YOU SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME."
You giggled as everyone groaned and whined, saying hi as they realised who it was. You had played with Sykkuno and the others a few times before but you'd never met Corpse before. You'd heard his voice though, as he was trending on twitter constantly over the past few weeks. Once they all quietened down, you realised Corpse hadn't said anything. Since you knew everyone else in the lobby, you introduced yourself, wondering if you'd scared him a bit too hard.
"Hey Corpse, I'm Y/N from Y/C/N, its so nice to finally meet you," you said gritting your teeth at you awkward introduction. For a second there was no response and then three words were said that made your jaw drop to the floor.
"No fucking way"
He had whispered it, obviously still in shock, and your eyes widened in surprise as a tingle spread all over your body. So this was what everyone meant by "you'll just know," when you asked them about how you would recognize your soulmate.
"Holy shit" you thought frozen in your seat.
Never had you been more glad that you hadn't turned the camera on yet.
"Uhhhh-" you started, but stopped now knowing what to say.
What the fuck were you supposed to do now.
"Wha- Whats wrong?" Rae asked after a moment passed.
Corpse cleared his throat and started "Its um, shes my -" and you cut him off, heart beating in your chest.
"Nothing. Its nothing." you said talking over him. "Who else are we waiting for Rae?" you asked joining the lobby quickly and choosing red as your colour.
"Uh one more person," she said slowly, still a bit confused.
"Oh awesome!" you said fake enthusiasm prevalent in your voice. "So Sykkuno," you started, wanting to keep the conversation going. "How's Bimbus doing?"
Sykkuno launched into a story of Bimbus and you blew out a sigh of relief, mind still numb over the revelation.
Corpse was your soulmate.
The guy who had literally went viral the past few weeks was your soulmate.
You'd finally found him.
You heard Rae cut Sykkuno off, telling everyone she was starting the game and muttered a "Thank god" when the words "CREWMATE" appeared on your screen. You would not have been able to play imposter at the moment, your mind pretty much stuck on the fact that Corpse was your fucking soulmate.
Heading down to admin, you realised you hadn't said anything yet to the stream so you quickly turned on your cam, saying a quick sorry to the viewers.
"Sorry guys, I forgot to put the camera on," you smiled focusing on card swipe.
"I hope everyone's been okay, I know this was quite sudden, but Rae invited me and I was like why not you know," you said rambling as you moved to comms and did the task there.
Lights were called and you moved to electrical, arriving there just as Leslie fixed them. You moved into the back of electrical doing the three tasks you had there when Sykkuno suddenly came in and went straight to standing on top of the vent.
You giggled already knowing his trick.
"Okay guys," you mumbled watching Sykkuno wiggle on the vent. "do we trust Sykkuno or not?"
"You know what," you said making a split second decision. "Its the first game, we might as well."
Joining him on the vent, you stilled for a second and then breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't automatically kill you.
"See, what did I tell you guys huh?" you question smiling straight at the camera. "I knew Sykkuno could be trusted."
You decided to follow Sykkuno going into reactor with him and starting 'Simon says' and just as you were on the last part, a body was found making you let a whine out.
"Guysss," you whined to the camera as Rae started talking about how she had found Daves body in admin.
"Um, I havent been in admin since the start of the game," you said, "also I can clear Sykkuno, for the last part of the round, he's been with me since lights went out."
Sykkuno confirmed it, "Yup that's right, also I can hard clear Y/N cuz guess what? She stood on the vent with me and none of us died."
Everyone chuckled as he said "Thats good enough for me."
"Uh, I was in navigation mostly." said Lily.
"Poki, can I just ask what you were doing?" said Sean, an undercurrent of mirth present.
"Me?" asked Poki speaking for the first time. "What was I doing?"
"You weren't doing any tasks, you were literally just walking from one side of medbay to the other when I peeked in."
Poki started laughing, trying to get her words out at the same time.
"Okay so-" a giggle. "okay okay- I was just, I was trying to um do the beep test," she said finally breaking down and making everyone else laugh as well.
"What the fuck?" you said, laughing at the image in your mind.
"My chat told me to do it last game so I decided to do it now, I was literally just playing around," she said finally, adding "I swear I'm not imposter" at the end.
"Hmmm," you hummed, bringing a hand up to stroke your chin. "Are you sure it was last game Poki... hm...."
Giggling at Poki indignant "YES it was last game", you quickly skipped voting like everyone else as the timer went into the last ten seconds.
Humming a tune under your breath, you went back to reactor, taking a minute to carefully do Simon says and then moved to the other task counting out one two three as you pressed on the numbers. Humming, you moved out of reactor, only to come face to face with Corpse. You paused for a second, and then moved ahead, refusing to show anything on camera. For some reason he followed you as you went to storage, looking at you while you did the trash.
"Why is he just staring?" you mumbled, biting your lip. God, you really didn't wanna think of him right now. You started walking to shields, him still walking with you when lights were called and not a second later a body was reported.
Suddenly there was screaming your ears as Toast and Rae both started accusing each other.
"Wait- Wait WAIT" yelled Poki trying to get them to stop. "What happened?"
"I'll explain" declared Rae, not letting toast get a word in. "We were in navigation okay, me, Toast and Leslie. Lights went out, and suddenly a report buttons there. It's either Toast or someone came in just as lights went out and killed but that doesn't seem likely because I didn't see anyone anywhere near us at all. Anyways I'm fucking telling the truth guys, its Toast, he's the one who did it."
"Toast, do you have anything to say for yourself?" asked Corpse, his voice making your insides shiver.
"Holy shit, this is my soulmate", you thought for the fiftieth time.
"Uh yeah," replied toast. "I didn't do it."
Everyone laughed as he continued.
"Like seriously, I wouldn't do anything like this because it'd be a stupid move from my own part, and I think Raes smart enough to not do this as well. I think someone else came in just as lights went down and killed immediately, which to be honest, was pretty smart of them."
"Okay so I can clear Corpse," you cut in noticing the timer was close. "he was with me in weapons when it happened, he wouldn't have had time to go all the way up, or even vent there because we were literally walking in."
"Yup that's right," confirmed corpse.
"I'm in cafeteria" said Poki.
"Yeah, I saw her on my way to weapons," said Sykkuno, "and I'm in weapons right now,"
"I'm in lower engine" said Sean, and Lily said she was in reactor.
"I think it's Toast," you mumbled and then rose your voice to talk over everyone. "Look okay fine, maybe he said it was a stupid move and he wouldn't do it but maybe he did it for that exact reason. He thought he could get away with it because no one would expect him to do something like that."
As the timer started going down by 10, you voted for Toast and it turned out 3 had skipped the vote while five had voted for him.
damn.
"Guys you actually voted for him?" you said in a high voice, re-enacting one of Sykkunos most said lines.
You heard a "oh for gods sake" from Rae before everyone went silent and you giggled as you moved back down to weapons to do your tasks.
You finished all your tasks and decided to go to security to check where everyone is. Humming as you moved through the electrical hallway, you narrowed your eyes as Corpse came out of electrical and went towards storage. Quickly ducking in you didn't see a body so you headed back out, going into cams and gasping as you saw the body. Reporting immediately you were shocked to see the four kills that had happened. Now only you, Corpse, Sean and Rae were left.
"Oh my god," you mumbled confused. Either there were still two imposters, and Toast wasn't the imposter or the imposter literally killed and did nothing else. Now either that could mean that its definitely Rae if Toast wasn't the imposter, or that it was Corpse as the only imposter left. That was a bit weird though becuase he could have totally killed you at the start of the game. You didn't suspect Sean at all.
"What the fuck?" mumbled Corpse, and Rae made her animal noises expressing her shock.
"Okay," you said taking charge and relaying the kill and your theory to everyone. "So either it was Toast and there's only one other imposter, who is Corpse. Or Toast wasn't an imposter and there's two of them left. I-" you took a deep breath in at the end, very confused. " I don't know anymore,"
"I think its Corpse as well,"
Corpse who hadn't said anything up till this moment suddenly started stammering out "hey-hey uh let-lets not gang up on me okay. It's not-"
"No, wait, its because Y/N said you came out of electrical right, and I saw you in upper engine literally a bit ago and you went down. I went towards cafeteria so I don't know exactly where you went but its totally possible that you killed."
You voted form him after that, convinced it was Corpse, and the other followed quickly.
"Guys what the fuck, at least give me a chance to explain my self" he whined when his body was thrown off the ship seconds later. You cheered when the "VICTORY" sign was displayed across the screen, bringing up your chat and laughing at Toast as he pretended to be angry at me.
"That was a great round, good work Y/N"
"Thankyou" you mumbled staring at your chat. You were confused when you saw the absolute influx of messages on there, and you were barely able to read them because they were going so fast. You scrolled up, and read through the few of the messages;
"You've made corpse sad."
"Corpse has literally been so quite since you came in, can you leave."
"Omg stop with the hate messages, its not her fault if corpse isn't talking to you"
"are you his ex or something? What was that reaction at the start?"
"what did you do? Corpse literally hasn't said a word since you came in."
"Um..."
Corpse POV
Corpses heart stopped for a minute, his breath catching. The words on his wrist glowed gold, and he stared at the little red character standing there.
This person was the reason that he had "PRAISE BINGUS" stretched across his wrist.
They were the only reason that he had searched "Bingus" on google for all of his life. The only reason Corpse knew about the meme before anyone else was because he was constantly monitoring the word online. Ever since March, he had been waiting with bated breath, anxious that he could meet his soulmate at any moment. and here you were.
For some reason, he had never expected that he would meet you in among us, or while he was on stream. He always thought it'd be someone outside. It was a bit stupid in hindsight as all he did nowadays was play among us.
He heard you introduce yourself to him but the only thing that came out of his mouth was “No fucking way”.
Immediately after he wanted to slap himself.
“Idiot” he thought to himself. “At least try to make a good impression.”
When Rae asked what was wrong, heat sprung to his cheeks as he started revealing that they were soulmates, but Y/N cut him off, saying that it was nothing.
Corpse’s heart sank a little then.
'Maybe she’s just a private person,' he reasoned with himself.
'I shouldn’t have tried to say it on stream either. God, I’m a fucking idiot, if I said it, literally everyone would know and not only would I have hated the attention, she probabaly would have as well.'
Convincing himself that she was right, he reassured himself that it wasn’t because of him. She wasn’t revealing it because she probably didn't want all the attention.
For some reason though, his heart sank even more when Y/N didnt talk to him, instead talking to sykkuno about his dog. Like sure he could understand not wanting to reveal they were soulmates but shouldn’t she at least wanna talk to him? At this point he wouldn’t even mind if she talked about his voice like everyone else.
He groaned when the word "Imposter" came across his screen, his and Toasts character standing together. He was not in the right mindset right now to be able to be a good imposter. Breathing in deeply he continued in the game, with the first round passing by quick. The second round, he saw Y/N and stood with her for a bit wondering if he should kill her. Her red character moved to weapons and he sighed moving the mouse over the kill button. Just as he was thinking of clicking a body was found. Corpse swore as Toast flew off the ship. Deciding he needed to speed it up he killed four people in the round, hissing when the meeting was called. The moment Y/N accused him, he knew it was over. He didn't even bother defending himself much, just hoping the game would end soon.
When they were in the lobby, he quickly told everyone that he was going to leave because his internet was acting up. Turning off the stream after saying a quick thank you to everyone, he leaned back in his seat breathing through his nose.
What the fuck was his life.
Even his soulmate didnt want him. Honestly, he should have expected this. Abandoned at 12 with no one around him, why did his expect his soulmate to even give a fuck about him. Tears pricked his eyes and he blinked trying to get rid of them. He breathed in deeply, grabbing the water on the table and taking a big gulp. He had never hated himself more than he did right now. Why couldnt he have an easier life.
“Why cant I just fucking be NORMAL” he yelled throwing the empty bottle of water at the wall.
Throwing himself into bed, he scrunched up his eyes, hoping that sleep would come today, not noticing as his phone lit up with a single message.
Your POV
You stayed for another game and then ducked out apologizing and making an excuse up.
"Sorry it was such a short stream, everyone," you said pouting at the camera. "It was fun though so hopefully I get to do it again." Waving goodbye, you turned off the camera and leaned your head back staring at the ceiling.
What the actual fuck.
Grabbing your phone, you stared at it for a bit. Everything that you had pushed to the back of your mind in the game, was suddenly in the forefront.
The only thing you knew about Corpse was that he had a really deep voice, he narrated horror movies, and he maybe did music?
'Rae mentioned that once right?' you thought to yourself.
You unlocked the phone and then locked it again, too scared to actually do anything.
Unlocked.
Locked.
Unlocked.
Locked.
"Oh get a grip," you muttered to yourself, opening the phone and sending a text to Rae.
‘Hey Rae, do you have corpses number? Do you mind sending it to me, I need to tell him something.’
A reply came in a minute,
‘umm, why. he's pretty private so idk i don't rlly wanna give his number if he doesn't want someone to have it’
You sighed, and decided you might as well tell her. You knew Rae wouldn't betray your trust.
‘He's my soulmate’
Immediately a ‘AHDJHAKJKAGDAK’ came as a reply and you giggled at the string of emojis after it.
‘Don't tell anyone,’ you sent quickly, trying to calm her down.
‘Okay okay, its XXX - XXX - XXXX, ASHAGDH IM DYING OMG. GO TALK TO HIM.’
Biting your lip you added Corpse into your contacts hesitating before putting a small black heart next to his name.
"Already simping," you mumbled under your breath, hands hovering over the keyboard as you struggled to think of what to write.
You finally decided on 'Hey, its Y/N, can I call?' thinking that something short would be the best way to go. Hand hovering over the send button, you sucked in a breath and pressed it, waiting with bated breath.
A minute passed.
And then five.
And then, without you even you realising, it'd been half an hour of you just looking at your phone.
An hour later, you were slumped on your desk, eyes closed and snoring lightly, the phone still open, the message you sent lighting up the screen.

Saving Grace (And Staying Put)
destiel december 2020 prompt: presents | wc: ~1.3k
russian translation available thanks to @hereigoagain !!
[READ ON AO3] [RUSSIAN]
"What'd you think?"
Dean's staring at Cas, a glass full of eggnog resting against his lips. Behind the rim of it he’s hiding a smile at Cas' thoughtful squint, as Cas watches the end credits roll on the television.
"I think...I still don't understand. Are you meant to be my George Bailey?"
Dean splutters into his drink at that, sitting up to wipe eggnog from his mouth and set the cup on the coffee table. He shoots Cas a look, but Cas is still frowning, head tilted in question and maybe a little bit of concern at Dean's reaction.
After watching a myriad of Christmas movies that included Gremlins (a classic), Home Alone (another classic) and Krampus (Jack was not a fan), Sam and Jack had disappeared off to bed and Dean had stuck It's A Wonderful Life into the DVD player. His hope had been that Cas would get his Clarence references after watching it, but instead Cas was comparing Dean to the suicidal businessman that the angel saves in the movie.
What had made Dean choke was that he wasn't exactly wrong.
"I—I guess I am, man, yeah. I mean, I'd like to think I'm a little less pathetic, and I'm probably not as nice as he is, but it's...you're not too far off."
Their eyes meet, and Dean reaches between them for the remote.
"But I'm," Cas says, in a tone that makes Dean pause. "I'm not an angel anymore."
Dean sits back on the couch again, shifting once to get comfortable. "So?"
"So..."
He waits for Cas to continue, rubbing a thumb over the buttons on the remote as the silence stretches. The credits on the TV come to a stop. 
"So, I'm not...’Clarence’ anymore."
"And...what? Is that supposed to faze me, or something?" Dean looks at him again, and Cas' face expresses his apparent uncertainty. 
Dean smooths out his frown, opting instead to get across some of his own sincerity by dropping the deflections for a second.
"Cursed or not, Cas," he says gently, "Angel or not. Doesn't matter, we're...I—I'm better with you. So none of that leeriness, okay? Because you're more than just a set of fluffy wings and a halo."
He thinks Cas might take a crack at him again, indulge him that angels don’t have halos or harps or whatever Dean had said, but he doesn’t. He watches Dean for a long moment, all the while Dean pointedly tries not to notice, flipping channels for something else to watch. The Grinch might be good. 
“I have something for you.”
Cas reaches into a pocket, keeping his hand there while he thinks of how to proceed.
“I know it’s Christmas Eve, and that’s not typically when gifts are given... I also know that there’s probably a whole ritual that has rules and I’m sure you’re very picky about them, but I still...I don’t know if this will count as a present. But I still want to give it to you, if you’ll accept it,” Cas says. 
Dean feels his heart racing, thrumming against his chest so fast it makes him lightheaded. He simply nods, not trusting himself to speak, and watches as Cas pulls out the chain of a necklace until it reveals a small glowing vial that hangs off of it. 
On instinct, Dean reaches out to touch it, hovering his fingers just over the glass. He lifts his gaze to look at Cas. 
“Cas...what is this?”
The essence inside the vial swirls, a bright blue almost the shade of Cas’ eyes. Dean’s entranced, watching as it rhythmically shifts and moves against the glass. 
“It’s me,” Cas replies. “Well, more accurately...it’s my Grace.” 
Dean freezes. 
“Come again?”
Cas sighs softly. “My Grace.”
“You—you saved it?” Dean means to ask ‘How?’ next, but his mouth says, “And you’re giving it to me?”
Cas nods. 
“Why?”
Cas lets his arm relax, lowering it so that the necklace rests between them on the seat cushion of the couch. “You...gave me my humanity, Dean. You showed me how to care about...about everyone. I know I can never repay you for that, but I thought...I thought the least I could do was give a part of myself in return. I—” he hesitates, biting his bottom lip in thought.
“What?”
“No, nothing. I just...hope that you’ll accept it.”
Cas lifts it again in offering, and Dean moves his hand to fit the vial against his palm. It's warm to the touch. Dean wraps his fingers around it, and Cas lets go of the chain. It falls limply against Dean's knuckles.
"Thank you, Cas," He says, bringing it close to his heart. Cas smiles.
"Actually, I uh...I have something for you, too," Dean adds. With his free hand, he digs into his jean pocket and pulls it out, suddenly feeling that it’s a little dumb in comparison to the gift Cas just gave him.
"It's, ah, not exactly angel Grace, but," he holds out the flat of his palm, showing Cas.
Cas takes it from Dean's hand, holding it as if it’s as precious as the necklace Dean is clutching onto for dear life. He levels Dean with a serious stare.
"Are these...?"
"Keys," Dean says, "One's for Baby, and the other's for the Bunker."
Cas is quiet, so Dean keeps going. "I figured, y'know, without your Grace, you'll be needing to get places and, well, keys...open doors." He mentally curses himself. Keys open doors? He squeezes his eyes shut, shakes his head a little to reset himself. 
"What I mean to say is, now it'll be easier to get home. You can come and go when you'd like, and you don't have to wait for one of us to let you in."
Cas' eyebrows twitch at that. "Home," he repeats, but it’s said like a question.
Dean nods, smiling softly. “Yeah, Cas. Home.” He looks away, startled a little by Cas’ sincere eyes that search his face. “If—If you’ll accept it.”
“Yes,” Cas says quickly. “I accept.”
“Good,” Dean responds. He tries to ignore how the racing of his heart makes his hands shake. He looks down at the necklace. It swings a little, gently touching his chest.
“Um,” Dean holds it out to Cas. He waits a moment too long, though, because he can see Cas’ smile beginning to falter. “Do you think you could help me with this?”
Stunned, Cas takes the necklace and Dean bows his head, feeling his ears go red. It’s a sign of trust, Dean knows, to let your guard down like this in their line of work. It’s like baring your neck to a vampire, or falling asleep next to a djinn.
Cas moves closer on the couch, and their knees touch just barely. Dean watches Cas’ Grace dip underneath his chin as Cas pulls the chain around his neck. He can feel Cas’ arms raised on either side of him as he fastens it, can smell Cas’ scent from how close they are. 
Then Cas is done, fingertips brushing the back of Dean’s neck as he rests the cold chain there. His touch lingers, and Dean’s breath catches, and then Dean is lifting his head up. 
They’re closer than he thought. 
“Thank you,” he whispers. Cas gives a small nod, eyes a little wide. His hands are still at the back of Dean’s neck, fingers brushing gently at the hair on Dean’s nape. Dean shivers, unable to contain it. He brings a hand up to Cas’ tie, holding it a moment, before deciding it could use some adjustment. 
Then both hands are fixing the knot, and when Dean is done, he uses the tie as leverage to pull Cas closer. There’s a pause, when both of their noses bump against each other, where Dean gives Cas an out. 
He doesn’t take it.
Dean presses forward, fitting their lips together. It’s the satisfaction of two missing puzzle pieces finally sliding into place, after years of being lost and collecting dirt under a couch. It’s clean, and it’s warm, and it feels like Purgatory all over again—like purity.
When they pull away, Dean’s a little out of breath. He places a hand on Cas’ face, running a thumb over his cheek.
“Stay,” Dean says. “Don’t leave my side again. I want—I want you to stay.”
Cas’ eyes glisten. “I will,” he says. “I will.”

Im obsessed with ur coloring in the boys tattoos works!! Could you do the reverse? Where they color in yours? With whoever u want!
~Tokyo revengers members Coloring Their S/O Tattoos.~
Mikey | Draken | Baji | Chifuyu
{Heya! I didn't put much into it but I hope you like it! And thank you though!}
----------------------------------------------------------
M i k e y
You had no hesitation letting him color your tattoos. “Have fun, babe.” You pinched your cheek and relaxed under the big tree you were both sitting under. Today you had thrown all your plans away just to be with mikey all day.
The wings on your forearm was now stained in hues of purple and green with accents of yellow. “So, besides today, how have you been lately?” Your gaze swayed from him to the inside of your eyelids as you were drifting to sleep slowly. “Okay, I suppose. School is annoying.” He laughed and your heart twinged with love.
You chuckled and looked down at your arm. "Mikey you done?" All you could hear was just a "hm".
“Let’s just rest for a little bit I'm tired.” You pushed the markers into the grass and your arm wrapped itself around his waist as you pulled him down and into your side. Mikey couldn’t fight it as his ear was filled with the sound of your mellowing heartbeat. Your fingers danced in his hair till you knew he was fast asleep.
You stayed awake just looking at his angelic features as the sight of your multi-colored arm shifted your focus. It was so meaningless to him but you loved it as you knew that it came from his heart and mind.
It was him– perfect.
~~~
B a j i
“Y/n! ” Baji called as he stepped into the large house. “I believe she's in the gazebo or her office, Mr.” One of the worked associates greeted baji at the front door. He grabbed the bags from baji's arms as he started walking. He was off towards the back of the house to find his fiancee.
“Y/n-!” he called as he rounded the corner of the house and into the back yard. The gazebo was empty. He stopped and stared for a moment. He was sure that this is where she'd be.
“Up here, my love.” A voice said as he looked up to see Y/n at her office balcony. “Hey there” he waved as your eyes squinted in a smile. “How was your day out?” you asked as you brought your teacup up to your lips. “It was okay~I have something to show you!” he called and held up a small shopping bag in his large hand. “I’ll be right up!” he raced back into the house and up the stairs to where you already stood waiting for him in the doorway to your office.
“What’s so amazing that you found today?” your eyebrow raised and he opened the bag quickly. “But first-” You interrupted you as you grabbed his face gently and gave him a passionate kiss. “What’s this for?” he asked as he continued to stare at your face lovingly. “Just happy to see you is all.” You smiled.
“Now, show mee.” he motioned to one of his hands that was stuck in the bag he held. He was brought back to reality and pulled the plastic package out of the bag.
“…Markers?” you asked and your tone of voice made him laugh. “Not just any markers. They’re tattoo markers. They’re safe for the skin.” He corrected you and you rolled your eyes. “You’re still on this?” You asked with an amused expression. “Of course I am! This was the deal and my love for you is way too much so.” he said shoving them into your hands so you could inspect the box.
You read the back and you had to admit he was right.
“You said I could color your tattoos IF I found tattoo markers. Safe for the skin and everything!” You knew he did it and that you had to hold up your part of the deal. “Okay fine.” You sighed as you handed the package back. “Yay! Beautiful Thank you!” He jumped and laid a gentle kiss on your nose.
“We can do it later before dinner.” You agreed.
—-
“Finally! You take forever.” He sighed as you moved your sunglasses up your nose. The grass tickled your bare legs as baji sat next to you. “I couldn’t help it. Chifuyu that jackass didn’t want to hang up the phone.” he stood on his knees and moved behind you. His hands gently rubbed your shoulders as your head fell in an exasperated manner.
“I hate to burst your bubble, Y/n. But, I called you out here for the deal. Not a massage.” You whined as you flopped down on the grass, your t-shirt lifting on your back.
“If this stains, I will make sure to throw out all color in your life. Your life will be a dull kaleidoscope-” “Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever you say, you big baby.” He laughed and opened his pouch full of the tattoo markers.
He lifted the back of your shirt more till the full picture was revealed. A dragon with demons following was the full picture- a dark reality…that he were going to make colorful. What can he do he loves your tattoos so much.
He sat on his lower back and got to work filling in the different parts of the dragon. Every once in awhile you would spasm and try to make him mess-up. Yet, with a slight tug on your hair, you would become limp and obedient again.
“I’m almost done.” Was the phrase that almost made you weep with joy. “Finally.” You let it slip and you felt a tug on your hair again. “Ow.” You rubbed your head. You could feel him draw and move the felt-tipped weapons on his back.
“Finished.” He cheered and grabbed his phone to take a picture. He showed it to you and ombre scaled decorated the dragon with the demon’s faces were colored red and blue. It looked nice. You saw a couple of smiley faces hidden in there and felt like everything looked complete.
“Okay, my turn now!” You yelled and grabbed his arm. You struggled and pulled him to the ground and grabbed the black marker that was in his hand. “Y/n, no.” he said strictly. “This wasn’t apart of the deal.” He expressed. “Excuse me? Sorry, I don’t speak Japanese.” Your english rambled off quickly from your tongue. He decided to just deal with it as you took your time drawing a mustache on his face along with random doodles you could think of.
You finally stopped your antics and took a picture with your phone to look at afterward. “You look so cute, look!” You pulled up the picture and shoved it in his face. “I look gross man!” He ridiculed but you wrapped him up in your arms quickly,
“My gross man.”
D r a k e n
You were on your period and hell you were pissed, your mood swings were just making the situation more shitty.
Draken on the other hand was just trying to help you but every now and then you'd snap at him for absolute no reason. "Oi, can you stop whining for once?"
He said with pretty much no emotion at all. And that's all it took for you to break down in tears.
Draken was taken aback, "babe hey, hey, I'm sorry I didn't mean it like that please stop crying- I". “Wanna play tic-tac-toe?” He asked and you looked around, surprised he was asking. “Um-” He didn’t wait for an answer and grabbed your legs– pulling you closer to where he sat.
Draken took the permanent markers out which was on the floor for god knows why. You wiped the rest of your tears and grabbed the orange marker out of his hand. He lifted the sleeve of his long shirt and created the grid in black ink. “Wanna go first?” He asked and you took the opportunity to land an 'X’ in the grid.
“Fine. You win this tournament. But, I know I’ll win next time.” You said laying back and closing his eyes.
The bottom of your shirt lifted and he could see the familiar black ink on your side. “Stop staring at me like that, pervert. I have rights.” You pulled your shirt down and he let a laugh rip through your chest.
“Chill. I was just looking at your tattoo.” He said and you shrugged. “What about 'em?” You asked as his eyes closed once more. “Nothing. Just looking,” he sighed, “I wanted to be a tattoo artist before all of this.” One eye peeked open and you looked suspiciously at his figure. “Are you any good?"
Draken just chuckled at your question.
~~
“Give me one!” You lifted the side of your shirt and waited patiently.
He shrugged, finding nothing else better to do. You already had black ink staining your skin so he decided to add on. It was another simple dragon but it fit your character and personality perfectly.
Time seemed to slow as you tried to take a sneak peek of the masterpiece he were currently working on. You planned to take a picture later and get it done, yet, it would have to be in secret.
All of a sudden, the bedroom door popped open. “Welcome back to Earth.” Mikey greeted. He capped the marker and helped you up.
"Why are you here" You asked while getting up, "Rude Y/n Chan, I'm still gonna answer your question though POLITELY, Ken-chin called us here so that we can go on a short trip or something to make your day better. Right ken-chin". Mikey looked over at draken, "Right whatever, can we go now?" He looked over at you for your response and all you did was kissed his neck because of your damn height and tagged along behind Mikey.
“Woah. You got a new tattoo?” Hina said as she lifted up your shirt and you shooed her hands away.
“Eventually.”
C h i f u y u
"I GONNA THROW UP ON YOU WITH ALL MY MIGHT IF YOU TRY TO GET NEAR MY TATTOOS MISTER " You exclaimed loudly as he started following you like a lost puppy around the kitchen, where you were busy making your 'grilled cheese'.
"Babe C'mom little color won't hurt and it's not like I'm trying to bite your tattoos off-". " See, there you said it, you're exactly gonna bite my tattoos off" Chifuyu sighed having enough of your nothings, he suddenly back hugged you, you can feel his large hands wrapped around your hip.
"What do you think you're doing?". You asked as you turned around to see his face,
"If you're not gonna let me color your tattoos then I prefer to stick with you like a koala, and you sure as hell know I ain't letting go." Chifuyu said and you eventually gave up because you knew nothing will change even if you don't agree with fuyu.
So now here you are sitting on chifuyu's lap as he continued to color the wallflower on your shoulder. "You done?". "Hold on a minute babe it's almost over, -All done" Chifuyu replied.
You sat up and started making your way to the mirror to see what he actually did " Y/N!!! Wait" chifuyu voice said and you turned around to see your boyfriend running over to you.
"Wha-", before you could finish your sentence he lifted you up and threw you over his shoulder. "The actual fuck chifuyu, what did you do! PUT ME DOWN YOU ASS"
"It's just better if you don't see it ya know, and I'll make sure you don't see it until I leave" Chifuyu chuckled quietly as he continued making his way to your bedroom.

It started out with a XX
Part 1  |  Part 2 
I said I would tag:  @casmick-consequences & @proudcasgirl  If anyone else would like a tag let me know, I can add you.  Part 2 under the cut!  Love you all. 
Dean was avoiding Castiel, which was fine honestly, it was probably better this way. Sam on the other hand was very helpful when Castiel had a question that was not easily answerable via google. There were some questions that when asked, the answers seemed juvenile and Castiel was sure that someone some where was making fun of him for asking the questions. Claire was also being a bit of a mixed bag when it came to help, for the most part her advice was sound, but there seemed to be a hint of teasing to some of her words.  Claire had recommended that perhaps he should change his outfit if he was going out on a date. Mick had obviously seen what he was wearing the last time Mick was around, and one should put their best foot forward. It seemed like a correct idea, so he had asked Sam what one should wear on a date. Claire’s suggestion was a bit more explicit than he would have liked, but that seemed highly inappropriate for a first date. Of course he had showed Sam what Claire had responded and he laughed but just stood and closed his laptop. “Come on then Cas, we need to go find a store. I’m not sure you want to wear hand me down flannel on your date. Let me just change and we can go.”  Vaguely Castiel wondered if he should ask Dean what he thought appropriate first date attire was, but he was not sure if Dean would even talk to him right now. After bowing out of the library yesterday he hadn’t seen the other man, though he was not looking for Dean either. A few moments later Sam returned with a jacket and shoes, appropriately dressed in human attire for the elements and motioned to the garage. That is of course where Dean happened to be, going through some stuff in the Impala’s trunk. “Where are you two headed off to?” Dean asked as he looked up from his duffle.  “I was going to take Cas here clothes shopping. I figure he would want something a little different than the suit and trench coat for his Date.” Was it Castiel’s imagination or was there more emphasis than needed when Sam said the word date?  Squinting and tilting his head a little he watched as something silent passed between the brothers, Dean’s face becoming a stone façade that was hard to read and Sam rolling his eyes. “Did you want to come with us Dean?”  A hard look is shared again and Castiel is reminded that there is a lot to human emotion that he still does not understand. Somehow they all end up in the Impala with Dean driving and Sam sitting in the passenger seat allowing or Castiel to think more on what he knew of the human experience.
Being so close to the Winchesters he had observed Dean “picking up chicks” countless times, and observed the flirtation that Dean often used. However, those flirtations were only for the night and that is not something Castiel wanted to experience. Since loosing his grace and becoming human Castiel just wanted to belong, to have a place... to have someone. What he wanted was Dean but he knew that was something he was never going to be able to have, so instead he would follow some advice that he had found (with Claire’s help) and find someone who wanted him. Mick seemed to want him in that sense, and that was what first dates were for after all, seeing if there was compatibility. No matter where Castiel’s heart was currently set, he was going to try this new thing out with Mick.  The mall is where they ended up and Castiel found himself dragged through a few stores, looking at colors and textures and just viewing fashion for a while as Sam and Dean argued over what things he might like. Wandering away from the brothers a bit he found himself in a store that seemed to have a selection of items that felt good in his hands and had a wide array of colors. An attendant was able to assist him in selecting the correct sizes and ushered him into a fitting room to try on some things. After what felt like hours he had a few outfits that the attendant called business casual, a few that were more “comfy casual” and a few miscellaneous pieces. Castiel was explaining to the young man that he was looking for something for a first date when Sam found him and paid for the purchases without even looking.  With the help of Matthew, the attendant, he chose a dark blue button down shirt, the gray “slacks”, and brown shoes with a matching belt for the date. Matthew also suggested a few accessories should he want them, such as a watch or a necklace to complete the outfit. That particular store did not have what the attendant was suggesting, however he did mention a few other stores in the mall that may have what he was looking for, and bid them a wonderful day.  Sam guided Castiel out of the shop and over to a few of the suggested places until Cas found some accessories that he felt comfortable with and met back up with Dean. It looked as though Dean had been shopping as well, as he had a few bags of his own, but did not comment on what Castiel had purchased. Leaving the mall, Sam suggested that Cas wear his watch to get used to it, and they headed off to the local Walmart to pick up some generic things that they needed for the bunker while Cas waited patiently in the Impala sending a few texts to Claire about the shopping experience and of course checking to see if Mick had sent him anything while he was out.  << Here are the details I said I would send you, looking forward to tonight! XX 
There were simple directions to get to the place, and the name. Castiel smiled, he was looking forward to it as well.  >>Thank you, I am looking forward to it as well. I should warn you though that I do not need to eat.  << That just means we can share ;) . I am not opposed. XX Castiel was still staring at his phone with squinted eyes and a tilted head when the brothers came back and headed back to the bunker. No time for conversation on the way either with the loud blaring of the Blue Oyster Cult through the speakers, but it was fine anyway. Castiel had a date to get ready for.

,,,,I was thinking ab @elementalmasteroffandom ‘s villain Jay theory again ((also im so sorry queen i keep bothering you and tagging you hhhh)) and like. I was thinking about how mb Jay would die at the end of the season, probably killed by mostly accident by Kai, the one who tends to insult him most, or by all the ninja combined, confirming the fact that he thinks they all hate him. 
So, the ninja go back to their island home probably all depressed and more than a bit traumatized (although that isn’t new), while Jay is dead.
But...
We don’t know much about the tribe, so I was thinking ((this is mostly to vent my own ideas, I find this incredibly unlikely to actually happen.)), what if they have a way to bring back the dead?
But there’s a price. 
So Jay gets brought back as a ghost... with no memories of fighting the other ninja, going evil, or how he died. This would defin be very interesting to see, as all the ninja would kind of have to skirt around him and avoid telling him what actually happened on the island- he’d probably find out anyway, from his memory returning or a tribe member telling him towards the end of the season.
Anyway here’s some long drabbles for it
Just after Jay gets brought back: 
Jay blinks awake, squinting at the sun in his eyes. “What...” He pushes himself up, not exactly...
Not exactly sure how he got here.
Glancing around, he can see... the ocean. And sand. He’s probably on a beach, then, or Zane had gone haywire again and filled the training room with sand and water. That had been a weird Tuesday. 
He looks around. There isn’t anyone else there, which was weird, considering he has absolutely no memory of how he got here. There’s a sort of... numb feeling, to his entire body, and it’s starting to make Jay very uncomfortable. Plus, there’s the fact that he can’t exactly feel the sand underneath him, despite his entire back probably being covered in it. Oh, gosh, he hopes he doesn’t have sand in his hair. That takes forever to get out. 
He swipes at his head, and-
Nothing.
He can... Jay can feel his hand on his hair, feel the pressure of it, but not the texture. It’s like he’s-
His arm is green and see-through.
Jay looks down. He can see the sand through his gi, slightly darker tinted. 
He pats the sand. Nothing. He can see the imprint that his fingers left on it, but he can’t feel it.
...OK. This is fine. This is perfectly fine.
“Alright. OK. We can... we can figure this out.” Why is he saying we, there’s no one else here. 
There’s no one else here.
He’s alone.
Alone and a ghost, and how is he a ghost, and hey at least he’s far enough away from the water, and also why doesn’t he remember dying? Do you remember dying? Did he even die? Cole... Cole didn’t die, not really, he just became a ghost for a while. 
...Jay doesn’t even remember how he got here, and if that’s not concerning enough, the last thing he remembers is arriving on the island. Then it’s just a blank. He vaguely remembers something about lightning, a bunch of people, and a blonde woman that looked strangely familiar, but nothing really else. 
“OK. I’m talking to myself. Like Cole does. Is it just a ghost thing to talk to yourself? Must get lonely.” He pauses, for a moment. The others. He needs to find the others, somehow. 
Can he make his dragon as a ghost? Did Cole’s powers work when he was a ghost? Jay can’t really remember, but... hey, he’ll figure it out.
Now he just needs to get off this island.
When Jay eventually finds the other ninja: 
Kai brandishing a sword at him was definitely not what Jay expected to see after he popped through the temple wall. 
Terrified screaming, sure, maybe even a tearful reunion, but definitely not a sword pointed at his neck. 
Jay’s hands are up, his back is pressed against the wall (on his journey back to the temple, he’s begun to figure out exactly how being a ghost works, and how much strength it takes him to allow others to touch him. He nearly got evaporated a few times in sudden rainstorms, but it’s a good thing umbrellas exist. Also overhangs.), and his eyes are wide. “Ok, Ok! Calm down, it’s just me! Don’t stab me!” He pauses. “Wait, can you stab me? I mean, I’m a ghost, can you even- was Cole able to get stabbed when he was a ghost? ...I think he got shot and the bullet went though him, once, but you guys probably don’t remember that.”
Kai narrows his eyes. “What are you doing here, how are you here, you’re de-” he pauses, eyes widening. “You’re a ghost.”
Jay attempts to push Kai’s sword down, but the tip of it is shoved forward until it’s barely a breath away from impaling him (or... going through him, he supposes). “Yeah, I am. Don’t know how. Do you know how? Took a while to get here, y’know, nearly fell into the ocean a few times...” Jay pauses, as Kai’s face grows more and more bewildered. “Do you... weren’t you guys there? We were on an island, and-”
There’s a sudden noise from the other room, as Cole and Nya rush in, holding their appropriate weapons. “We heard you yell, Kai, what’s going-” Nya stops as her eyes land on Jay, her face changing from shocked to pained to utter hatred in the span of a few seconds. “You.” 
“Nya, wait, I-” Jay barely has time to speak before she’s rushing towards him, and just before he can get A: stabbed or B: splashed with water (hopefully not B), Nya stops suddenly. 
“You’re... you’re a ghost.”
“Yeah.” Jay decides this would be a good time to drop the other bombshell. “And I have no idea why or how.” 
***
“So,” Kai says, in a strained voice, “you don’t remember anything.” 
“No.” Jay glances around the room. “Last thing I remember is getting to the island with you guys, and then... nothing, really. Just a blank.”
It’s been about an hour since Jay’s first confrontation with Kai, and in that time he’s almost gotten killed four separate times. Or, well, whatever you can do to a ghost in the lines of killing. First by Kai, then by Nya, then by Lloyd and Zane, in that order. Master Wu had been more shocked rather than anything else, but at least he hadn’t tried to commit murder. Jay’s explained everything to the other ninja- what happened after he woke up on the beach, how he got back to the city (stowing away on ships is surprisingly easy), and how he has, in fact, zero memories of dying. 
“So,” Jay says after a moment of very awkward silence, “how did I die, anyway? You guys were on the island too, so...” 
The others freeze, and Jay has the distinct feeling that something happened that was very bad and very wrong. Kai, apparently deciding to take one for the team, speaks up. “You... you fell off a cliff.”
Jay considers this. “I know you’re lying,” he says eventually, “but it’s- it’s a very good lie. That definitely seems like something I would do.” He stands up, pretending not to notice the way Zane’s hand tightens on his bow, and how Lloyd’s fingers start to spark. “On that note, I’m tired, you guys probably want to talk in private, I want sleep. G’night.” He walks off to his room, secretly hoping that there aren’t any pictures of him with darts thrown at it. 
Kai and the other’s reactions to ghost Jay: 
“So Jay,” Nya eventually says, after the ghost version of her ex(?)-boyfriend makes his way towards his former room, “is dead. And a ghost. With no memories of him dying.” 
Master Wu, who has gone to make tea to deal with his shock, makes an exceptionally loud clanging sound, probably as a precaution so Jay doesn’t hear any of the conversation. Pixal is absent, having gone on a two-week long mission barely a few days before Jay showed up. 
“Yes,” Kai confirms. “This is bad.” 
Cole nods, biting his lip. “He doesn’t... do you think he’ll find out? That he went bad, I mean.”
“I hope not,” Lloyd mutters, speaking for the first time since he yelled at Jay around an hour ago. “Honestly, it’s better if he just doesn’t figure it out. We can just... make up a believable lie for him, and hopefully, if he doesn’t get turned back into a human, he won’t remember. I don’t want him to know that we were the reason he’s dead. Even though it was technically his fault.”
“Yes,” Zane adds. “The fact that Jay’s dead is, in fact, his own fault. We were merely trying to stop him from causing any more harm to us, himself, or the people of Ninjago.” The nindroid pauses, for a moment, likely remembering how they all combined their elemental powers (well... most of them) to take the lightning master down. “So, I suppose we’ll just have to keep him under close watch. Don’t let him go out alone, and I can see if I can attach a tracker to him- one that works on ghosts. Perhaps one with deepstone embedded in it, so we can detain him if necessary.”
“Yeah,” Kai says. “We can do this. We’ll handle Jay, protect Ninjago, and hope that he doesn’t remember anytime soon.”

The Hunters Chapter 10
Tumblr media
Title: The Hunters Chapter 10
Summary: What happens when four idiots get together? Nikki’s looking for his dad. Tommy’s trying to get out of his mom’s shadow. Vince is along for the ride. And Mick is just trying to keep them alive. Which is harder than it sounds when then Winchesters join the fray.
Warnings: Language, violence, m/m smut, canon divergence, character deaths (temporarily), wincest if you squint (may add more tags as I go)
AN: I have a bunch done, but I’m lazy so I’m sorry.
A Few Months Later
Motley Crue was the name the four settled on. They had to be the first hunting band, and damn, they were good at it. Voula, Bobby, and Rufus were all just glad that they now had permanent hunting partners. They played some gigs for money, but when they were out on the road and couldn’t book anything at a bar or club, they all had talents that they could use. Tommy was pretty good at distracting people while Nikki hustled pool. Nikki had learned that the night he watched Tommy kill the vampire in the alley of the Roxy.
They met up with the Winchester’s a handful of times, swapping stories and such. But Tommy could tell that there was something off, something they were keeping from them. He didn’t want to push though. He had heard of the Winchester temper that came along with the hunting skills.
“I found us a hunt,” Mick told them. “Poltergeist out in Nevada. I thought it would be worth our time.”
“I’ve actually never done a poltergeist before,” Tommy admitted.
“Dude, they’re a blast,” Vince rolled his eyes. “I’m surprised that Winchester hasn’t told you all about them. The two of you talk a lot.”
“Winchester?” Nikki asked, his head popping up from where he was writing. “Which one?”
“Sam and Tommy are buddies, thanks to me,” Vince laughed. Tommy rolled his eyes and glanced over at Nikki, who was gripping the pen he was writing with tightly. “So, you two going to go out on a date soon or what?”
“Vince!” Tommy shook his head. “We’re just friends. We tell each other about research and such. He complains about Dean, and I tell him things we’ve done. That’s it.”
“Uh, huh. Sure,” Vince winked and nudged Tommy, who pushed him away.
“Okay, that’s enough of that,” Mick sighed. “Let’s get out there and get this done so Tommy can cross poltergeist off his list of hunts.” Vince and Mick headed off to get ready for the hunt. Tommy walked over to Nikki, who was still staring at his notebook.
“Nik?” Tommy asked. “You okay?”
“Just fine,” He grumbled. “Come on. Let’s get a move on.”
****
They found a motel in Ely, Nevada. Tommy had ridden with Vince in the Challenger, since Nikki didn’t seem to want to talk to him. It was going to be an eight-hour drive, and Tommy would rather listen to Vince’s bad singing than a cold shoulder from Nikki. Two rooms paid for and the boys headed in. Normally Tommy shared a room with Nikki, but this time, he headed into Vince’s, causing Mick and Vince to share a look.
“What did you do?” Vince growled at Nikki. Nikki held his hands up.
“Nothing, promise,” He told him. “I don’t know what his deal is.”
“Yeah right,” Vince rolled his eyes. “Ruining my plans.” He mumbled as he headed into the room.
“What plans do you have? You and Mick…” Nikki trailed off and his eyes widened as Vince closed the door and looked over at Tommy who was on the bed farthest from the door.
“So, we’re roomies again?” Vince asked with a laugh. “Why aren’t you with Nikki?”
“He was really short with me after a certain someone,” He looked up at Vince. “Basically told him that I’m seeing Sam Winchester when you know damn well who I like. So now, you’re stuck with me for the night.”
“Well, that’s cool and all, but I kinda had plans and…” Vince rubbed the back of his neck at the room door opened and Mick headed in with all their bags.
“Hey babe, I thought that since we were…” Mick started.
“Shhh!” Vince hissed. Mick looked up to see Tommy sitting on the bed, his eyes wide as he looked between Vince and Mick.
“I...are you two…” He chuckled a bit. “I never would’ve seen the two of you together.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” Vince asked.
“Well, I mean…” Mick cleared his throat, cutting Tommy off.
“Okay, we need to get some interviews done with the family before we start digging at bones,” Mick explained. He unzipped a bag and threw Vince his suit. “Get dressed babe. I wanna head out soon.”
“Wait, you two are going?” Tommy asked. “What am I supposed to do?”
“Take a nap, because you’re sleeping in the car when we get done with this hunt,” Vince winked. Tommy glared at him before storming out of the room. He took a deep breath and leaned against Nikki’s car. A bit later, Mick and Vince came out, dressed in suits with their badges ready to go.
“See you later T-Bone,” Vince winked as him and got into the car with Mick, driving off with a wave. Tommy sighed, trying to figure out what to do next, when he heard a door open and looked up to see Nikki standing there.
“Sorry,” Tommy pushed himself away from the car and headed towards the vending machine. He put in a dollar to get himself a Dr. Pepper and noticed Nikki loitering nearby. “Did I scratch the car?”
“What? No,” Nikki shook his head. Silence fell between them again.
“Do you want a drink?” Tommy asked a second later, opening his can and taking a sip. He handed Nikki some coins so he could pick something out before heading back towards the rooms. Nikki looked at the coins and sighed before he got himself a drink and he followed Tommy.
“So, you’re staying here?” Nikki asked when he walked up to Tommy hanging out outside of Vince’s room.
“Tonight I’m sleeping in the car,” Tommy told him. “Did you know Vince and Mick are…”
“I just found out,” Nikki told him. There was some more awkward silence, but soon Tommy and Nikki were trying to speak at the same time. “Oh, you first.” Nikki smiled at him.
“Uh, why did you get so mad when Vince told you I was talking with Sam?” Tommy asked, looking down. Nikki sighed and grabbed his arm, pulling him into his room. Tommy yelped a little, but followed him. “Nikki?”
“I’m not mad you’re talking to Sam,” Nikki ran his fingers through his now dyed hair. “I mean, I am, but not for the reason you think I am…”
“Then what is it?” Tommy asked. Nikki sighed.
“I like you Tommy,” Nikki explained. “And it just hurts that you’re with someone you see less than once a month, someone who can’t appreciate you and…” Tommy laughed then. “Is my pain funny or something?”
“I’m not dating Sam,” Tommy told him. “We’re friends. I’m crushing on someone else.”
“Dean?” Nikki asked, completely oblivious.
“And people say I’m clueless,” Tommy laughed. “I like you Nikki. But I didn’t think you’d feel the same way about me so I just never said anything.”
“Wait...what?” Nikki asked, staring at Tommy like he couldn’t believe the words that just came out of his mouth. “You like me? You’re not dating Sam?”
“Oh my god,” Tommy smiled at him. “You’re so clueless it’s cute. I’ve been crushing on you since we met after I killed that vampire dumbass.” He sat down on the edge of one of the beds. Nikki smiled and was about to speak when Mick threw the door open.
“That was the quickest interview I’ve ever done,” He laughed. “Didn’t even have to talk to the family. The caretaker of the estate told us all about it and we got what we needed.” Vince followed behind him with a big grin on his face.
“We’re going to get the speed record for fastest turn around on a hunt.” He laughed. He looked from Nikki to Tommy. “Did we miss something?”
“Nope,” Tommy shook his head. “So what are we looking for?”
“The spirit is William Goss. He was a disgruntled former employee of the estate, back when the current owners great, great grandfather owned it,” Mick explained. “According to the caretaker, he’s buried off of Pole Line Road.”
“So, we’ll wait until nightfall and go knock out some ghosts,” Vince laughed. “But first, let’s get some lunch. Place in town claims to have the best pie around. I want to be the judge of that.”

—————————————-
It's about that time. You can move your back again and when that happens, even just the smallest movement, punishment begins once more.
You lay on your dirty bed face first. It's faint now since they've been torn from you, but you can hear the Discarded coming down the hall. Slowly making their way to your door.
You slowly come to a sitting position. Legs hanging over, palms gripping the mattress, and a death stare at the door.
The heavy steel door opens and you're greeted with a small army of Discarded lead by the only other being alive besides you and Father.
"Please d...don't fight." The brown-haired boy steps into your room. A couple of the Discarded come in as well.
You grip the mattress tighter, "You always ask that. You should know what my answer is by now."
The boy sighs and moves his shoulders back. His wings come out and spread to their full length. He pulls out a familiar syringe.
You seethe at him, his wings, and the syringe.
It's not fair.
---------------------------------------------------
You wake with a start, expecting the whip's pain.
But no pain comes. Something's different.
You slowly open your eyes. This wasn't your old home of steel walls and chains. You're in what looks to be a jail cell, but with bars all around. You slowly lift your head, the pain from multiple hits causing you to blackout for a second. You move your body to carefully sit on the bed. Looking around, you see that the cell is placed in the center of a room. Like an animal's circus cage, put on display for all to see.
"Bout time you woke up." The voice startles you. You whip your head around, big mistake, and see a man sitting in front of your cell.
Despite your body's warnings, you lunge at the man, but that's when you realize your hands and ankles are bound by heavy chains.
"Hm, interesting…" the man says to himself. You squint to get a better look at him, but he positioned his seat to cover his top half in the room's shadow. All you can see is the man's expensive and lavish looking shoes, pants, and a heavy coat. He's also holding a cane on his right. You're not entirely sure, but the cane's top looks like a type of whale.
"Who are you?" You ask. Your voice is incredibly gruff and dry.
The man doesn't answer. He instead waves his free hand up and you hear a click to your right. Looking, you see the cell's door open and a man comes in. He's holding a glass of water and a plate with bread.
"Don't be stupid." The new stranger says.
Does he even realize he left the door open?
You run as fast as you can towards the opening, which was still pretty fast considering the situation your ankles are in, but you stop just short of freedom when a shocking sensation courses through your body. You scream and fall. Managing to keep your eyes open, you see that the bounds on your wrists and ankles are electric. When the pain stops you can see the man in the seat has a remote control.
Oh yeah. He knew.
"Told you. You all are always stupid." The stranger in your cell drags you back to your bed, "At least ya didn't hit me. Yous people usually hit me and ruin your dinner."
"A cop has a much better mindset than the usual ones I get hired to take. Sure it helps too that this one has been through something like this before." Says the sitting man, who you figure is the boss.
The man in your cell places the water and plate down on the floor in front of you. He then walks away and locks the cell door behind him, "That why you told 'im you need more money? Cause she'd be a feisty one?"
The boss doesn't answer. He lifts his hand in the same motion as before and you watch the stranger exit through a door behind his boss.
The boss crosses his legs, "I suggest you drink some water. It would be a shame to ruin your voice with all the questions you're about to ask."
You just stare at the shadowed man.
He sighs, "None of the water or food you receive will be poisoned. I wouldn't be as rich as I am if I let my captures die on me. Bad business practice that is."
You slowly pick up the cup and down its contents, keeping an eye trained on where you believe the man's eyes to be.
"Better now?" He asks after you put the cup back on the floor.
You stand up and shuffle over to him. You sit in front of the bars to be as face to face as possible. Unfortunately, you still can't make out any facial features.
"Who the fuck are you?" You hiss.
"Yes, I do suppose you were expecting someone else, but fear not little doe." The boss leans in so you can see his top half, but he keeps his head in the dark, "Your father shall have you back soon enough."
"Who are you?!" You yell. You grip the bars and shake your chains violently, "Are you with him?! Are you-"
"Hush down, doe." He leans back into the chair, "I am not a direct accomplice to your father. Never even met him. He just hired me to capture you."
"I am called The Kidnapper. America's most infamous person at making people disappear. I am a simple businessman, that's all. Nothing extra special than that. Can't say the same for you though."
Your head begins to pound again. You remove one hand from a bar to grip your head.
"Though I will be asking him if I can keep those fancy chains and the formula for that shot. Especially if I'm now going to be capturing you folk more."
"Stop…" you grit your teeth. The pain is becoming unbearable to the point where your nails start puncturing your head, "What…"
"Poor confused little doe." The Kidnapper tisks and stands, "You will remain here for one week. That is when the LAPD will consider your case cold and stop actively searching for you. That is also when you shall be dropped off to him."
No. Please…
"They'll find me…" you manage out. You squint up at The Kidnapper. He's silhouetted by the light from the open door, "They'll always be looking for me."
"Not when they have no leads."
---------------------------------------------------
An entourage of LAPD forces flood your home. Brighter lighting is set up in every dark corner. Ella and extra forensic workers are flashing their cameras constantly. Dan and other detectives inspect every nook and cranny of your place. Maze watches paramedics try to awaken Alice, who they moved onto the couch.
And Chloe, with all her might, is trying to not freak out about her BFF being kidnapped and her partner being completely out of it.
Lucifer hasn't moved an inch since they came. He still stands on your balcony. Hands still gripping the railing. He keeps his head held high. He stares at the night sky with burning eyes. His mind filling up with awful, monstrous thoughts.
He doesn't even budge when he hears Alice finally come to, but he does listen in:
"How are you feeling ma'am?" A female paramedic asks.
"Groggy." With the help of the paramedics, Alice rises to a sitting position, "Scared."
Lucifer turns his head.
"I don't want to bother you as soon as you wake up, Alice, but…" Chloe starts.
"No, it's completely alright." Alice moves so her legs are over the front and she sits straight, "We need to find Earth as soon as possible."
"Agreed." Chloe nods. Maze goes around Alice. Lucifer moves to lean against the frame of the balcony door.
"From what I could see everything looked completely normal in Earth's place." Alice begins as the paramedics look her over, "I go to the coat closet and notice the door slightly ajar. Right when I was about to call Earth a man came out."
"Did you happen to get a good look at him?" Chloe asks.
Alice shakes her head and looks disappointed, "No. He, and all the men that came out, were dressed in all black. The only part of their bodies that you could see were their eyes. Everything else was covered."
"Sounds professional." Dan comments.
"Sounds like they know better than to get hair or skin particles on anything," Ella says from the floor of your bedroom.
"But right before I fell I managed to scratch one in the eye! Look-" Alice raises her hand, then looks shocked. She brings her hand to her face to inspect her fingers.
"They...they washed my hands!" She yells.
"What?" Chloe asks, disbelief in her tone.
"Yes! Even under my nails!" Alice's eyes start to water.
"They also got rid of their shoe prints in the dirt of the plants," Dan says.
"And there won't be any prints since their hands were covered." Maze says, pissed.
"Damn it." Chloe hisses.
"This situation sounds familiar." Everyone, including Lucifer, looks up and sees Agent Monroe entering your apartment.
"Familiar?" Chloe questions.
"Throughout the years all around the country, there have been attacks like this." Monroe says as he walks to the group, "Usually the victim's place remains intact, but from the descriptions of these men and how no leads are found adds up."
"Who are these guys?" Alice asks.
Monroe looks at her, "They work for the-"
"The Kidnapper." Lucifer finally speaks, and it seems to startle the group. They all turn to him wide-eyed, then back to Monroe.
Monroe nods, "Yes."
"I've heard the stories, but doubt they were true. I just figured the 'missing' person simply didn't want to be found." Chloe looks between the two men.
"That's how the case gets closed after a time of no leads." Monroe replies, "But no, Detective Decker. Most of those 'mysterious' kidnappings are The Kidnappers doing."
"So, what happens now?" Dan asks.
"Now we continue scavenging this apartment from top to bottom, corner to corner, crack to crack." Monroe answers, "We'll still take a sample from underneath Ms. Alice's nail, despite them cleaning it, and we'll stare at the dirt on the balcony until we're positive we can't spot a print."
"Hey! I may have something!" Ella yells on the floor. When she looks up she notices that she's next to Lucifer's foot, "Good thing you didn't step this way, big guy!" She says looking up at him.
"Oh?" Lucifer says. He moves out of her way and the rest of the group, except for Alice, surrounds her.
Ella flashes a bright light on a spot on the floor, "Looks like I got a tiny bit of blood here! Still looks fresh too! And-" she takes her tweezers and lifts something from the ground. It's incredibly thin, almost impossible to see, but of course, Ella Lopez finds it.
"Is that-"
"Yup! A needle!" Ella interrupts Chloe excitedly, "No vial attached, but I'm hoping there's still some juice in it."
"Excellent finds Ms. Lopez." Monroe praises.
"Do we have a time limit?" Chloe asks Monroe.
"I'd say we have a week. That seems to be The Kidnapper’s favorite time length."
"Then let's get bloody started already!" Lucifer says. He pushes through the crowd and leaves your apartment. Chloe follows him and Dan, Maze, and Ella (with possible leads bagged) follow soon after. Monroe stays a while longer to help the other detectives and scientists find any more clues.
Day 1
---------------------------------------------------
"You're still mad at me." You said with a mouth full of pizza.
Your apartment was quiet save for the chewing of good pizza and the tv. Lucifer hadn't said a word since you asked what pizza he'd like. While he ate he just stared blankly ahead of him.
Your words finally got him out of that daze, "I'm not mad at you, darling."
"Then what's with the silent treatment?" You took another bite, "You always talk."
"Just pondering is all."
"About?"
"Who you're so scared of."
You sighed and leaned back on your couch, trying your best to sink into it.
Lucifer set his plate down on the coffee table and turned towards you, "Darling, I have hundreds of resources at my beck and call. Whoever is causing you fear I can take care of."
"You sound like the Godfather." You tried to joke. Lucifer didn't laugh though. He looked serious.
You sank further in. After moments of silence you caved, just a bit, "Lucifer, when I tell people they become leverage against me. Only Alice and Damien, who runs my NY clinic for me, know the whole truth. Chloe barely knows anything, but I'm afraid that because of my closeness to her she'll end up like-"
You stopped. Too much information.
You finally looked at him, "I don't want more people hurt."
"Better than a Godfather, I'm the Devil." You huffed and started to turn away from him, but Lucifer gently pulled you out of your hole and held your hands, "I hate to say it, but besides my Father and brother no one can really harm me."
"Amenadiel?"
Lucifer chuckled, "Absolutely not! I was talking about Michael. But-"
"How many siblings do you have?" You asked with a raised brow.
"Too many, though...one less." You saw that quick emotion of regret cross his eyes before he returned to normal, "K9 the point is, I can and want to help you. The fact that someone has this hold over you makes my blood boil."
"Why?"
"I…" Lucifer looked down at your joined hands. He squeezed them, then gently rubbed his thumbs on your palm, "I don't know." He looked back up to you, "Please, darling."
You looked at him. That strange feeling in your chest grew, making you want to spill everything to him and cry.
But you can't.
You squeezed his hands then pushed them, him, away, "I can't, Lucifer." You said with a regretful smile, "I'm sorry."
The defeat from his eyes and body made you hate yourself, but this was for the best.
"I...can tell you the other reason I left. Chloe knows this one, as well as everyone else."
---------------------------------------------------
Lucifer leans against his glass railing, looking at the LA sunset while lost in the memory. He takes one long huff of his cigarette and slowly blows it out.
"Hey." Chloe comes up behind him and leans with him.
"Detective." He says distantly.
"You ok?" She asks. Worry clear in her voice and eyes.
"Depends." He says and flicks the ashes off the bud. He watches the particles fall to the street, "Any news?"
Chloe looks at the sunset. With a sigh, she says, "No. The lab is still trying to get DNA from that little blood sample."
"Then I'm bloody fantastic, Detective." Lucifer spat out.
Chloe watches him take another long drag of his cigarette. She sighs and goes to leave him. No sense in trying to talk to him when he's in this kind of mood.
"Detective."
Chloe turns around and looks at Lucifer's back. Surprised, she says, "Yeah?"
"Do you know why K9 left?" He asks the sun.
"Um yeah," Chloe is confused now, "To get away from her adoptive family. They were horrible to her and she wanted an escape from them, but Lucifer," she takes one step closer to his back, "I questioned the Hammers already, and they were very adamant in not even knowing she was back. Which I expected." Chloe moves closer to place a hand on his shoulder, "I'm confident they don't know anything."
"Of course." Lucifer's reply is still distant, "Just curious is all, Detective."
Chloe wants to say something to cheer him up, but she's not sure what. So, she pats his shoulder and leaves.
Lucifer takes in one last drag, "Of course she doesn't know anything. She told you as much didn't she?" He flicks the bud off the railing and stares at his disappearing sun:
"You should have told me, K9."
Day 2
---------------------------------------------------
Day 3
Chloe and Dan are inside Ella's lab. For the tenth time, they look through all the photos taken of the crime scene. The entire lab table is covered in photos.
Chloe snaps first, which makes Dan's head rise up. This was very uncharacteristic for his ex-wife, but then again this is her closest friend in danger.
"What is taking so long?!" Chloe hisses. She grinds her teeth and mindlessly moves photos.
"It was only a small, very small, sample found Chloe," Dan says.
"I know, but this is a cop! One of ours taken!" Chloe's hands ball into fists.
"You know Monroe took Ella to the FBI's lab for better testing."
"Which means it should be faster getting a result! Besides…" Chloe breaths in and out. Calming her herself down, she starts to look somber, "I'm starting to worry that the blood sample won't be of who we need."
"Chloe." Dan reaches across and takes hold of Chloe's hand. He gives her hand a small squeeze, "We're going to find her."
Chloe doesn't seem to hear him though. At least, she doesn't nod her head or look him in the eyes.
Dan sighs. Pulling back he looks through the windows behind Chloe, "Where's Lucifer?" He asks, agitated. Lucifer is her partner. Why isn't he here helping?
"He's not in the right mindset to help, Dan."
"Really?" Dan scoffs.
Chloe looks up at him, "What?"
"Just doesn't seem like Lucifer to get so worked up, unless he and Earth are closer than I thought."
"Lucifer cares about his friends, Dan." Chloe snaps.
"I think it's more than just that, Chloe."
"CHLOOOEEE!" Chloe was just about to question Dan further when she hears her name being yelled. Chloe looks behind her and sees Ella zooming down the stairs and running towards her lab door.
Chloe quickly opens the door so the poor woman doesn't run into it. Ella skids to a halt and slams a folder down on the table, causing numerous pictures to fall.
"I GOT HIM!" She yells triumphantly.
"What?" "Who?" Chloe and Dan say together.
"That blood sample is, by the Big Guy's grace, from one of the invaders!" Ella opens the folder and spreads out the info. Dan and Chloe stand behind her as they look at the results.
"His name is Jerry Carter." Ella starts, "Age 23. Has no current criminal record."
"Sounds like it might've been his first job." Dan comments.
"Yeah, poor kid." Ella shakes her head. She pulls out a page, "But from the looks of all these addresses, definitely someone who would work for the elusive Kidnapper."
"My God." Chloe takes in all the addresses, "The Kidnapper seems to move all throughout California."
"With a time frame of a year too," Ella says. She points to all the dates and sure enough, each one is about a year apart.
"This will take longer than four days to stake out each one," Dan says. He looks up to Chloe and sees the worry in her eyes.
"It will definitely take a long time, but Monroe has a bunch of teams already going to half of these places." Ella points to the locations marked with a star, "He gave these to us because they're closer."
"Let's get started then." Detective Decker is back on the job, and that makes Ella and Dan smile.
Ella and Dan leave to recruit some of the K9 officers to help out because, despite Miller's betrayal, a lot of your officers love you.
Chloe sends a quick text to Lucifer.
---------------------------------------------------
Day 4
Within 24 hours Monroe's team found Jerry Carter. Much to Chloe's disappointment, however, Monroe took him to the FBI base instead of the precinct.
"I understand you want to find your comrade and friend, Detective Decker, but you and others in the precinct are too personal. I need Mr. Carter to talk, not feel threatened." Is what Monroe told Chloe when she showed up at the base.
Much to Chloe's confusion and worry, Lucifer didn't seem too upset or bothered by it.
---------------------------------------------------
Day 5
Another 24 hours later, Chloe's phone rings.
"Decker." She answers.
"Hello, Detective Decker. This is Agent Monroe." Monroe's professional voice comes through.
"What's the story?" Chloe says. She's on the edge of her seat.
"Mr. Carter told us about their attack on Ms. Earth, and he gave a few of the Kidnappers holding locations, but my gut is telling me he knows more."
"Lucifer can get it out of him," Chloe says immediately. Lucifer looks down at her with a raised brow. He just arrived.
"I do have impeccable timing it seems." Lucifer comments.
"That's precisely why I'm calling, Detective. I've heard about Lucifer's talent at getting people to talk, and with only two days left we need Mr. Carter to talk." Monroe replies.
"Agreed." Chloe looks up at Lucifer and nods, "We're leaving now."
The FBI base in California is far from the LA precinct. Chloe was disappointed when Monroe found the guy, but now she's worried that since Jerry was found so far away that meant you were far away too. She knows there's no time to waste now.
The ride to the base was about two and a half hours and during the whole drive, Lucifer said nothing. Chloe tried to get him to talk, to ease her nerves, but he'd reply with short answers or a simple hum.
Lucifer seems to start back to life when Chloe parks at the base. They both quickly exit the car and head inside the building.
"Thank you for coming-"
"Where is this chap?" Lucifer interrupts Monroe.
Monroe motions for the two partners to follow him. After some lengthy corridors, they stop in front of a metal door.
"Mr. Carter refused to answer with all our eyes on him. So, we moved him to this more secluded spot. We can't see or hear what's being said inside, but there's a recorder working on the table." Monroe says.
"Wonderful." Lucifer smiles. Chloe should be happy to finally see one from Lucifer, but that particular smile made her feel uneasy.
Monroe opens the door for Lucifer. Chloe tries to squeeze in but he stops her, "I think it's best for just Lucifer to talk to him. If he's as good as your reports say we need no other distractions."
Chloe, reluctantly, agrees. She watches the door close behind Lucifer. Monroe motions for her to take a seat next to him on the opposite wall. She has to do more waiting.
---------------------------------------------------
You stood behind your vet clinic. You've just finished your last surgery for the day and you needed a breather.
Leaning back against your building you listened, well half-listened, to Lucifer on the phone. Day three of the stakeout with no results.
Instead of being focused on the conversation Lucifer was trying to have with you: a case that led him to the most expensive school in California and something about igniting a blade, your mind continued to replay the nightmare, or maybe memory, you had a night before.
All around you is nothing but trees, grass, and dirt. You take a deep breath in. The air tastes so good here. You want to stay here forever.
But you know your Father is going to find you. You have to be quick.
You kneel on the ground and place your palms together, something you've seen your brother do when he can't find Father. You've also seen your Father do this when calling for the lonely red man.
In your mind you scream for help. Scream for freedom, and tell your location as best you can.
You stand and quickly run back to your cage, so as not to be caught.
What may have been days later, you wake to a cold aura staring at you.
You squeezed your eyes shut and closed out Lucifer's voice more to try to remember the image in front of you, but all that came back was the same memory that flashed before you in Lucifer's bathroom.
A man. Strong and muscular under his white armor. His wings darker than your darkness.
"Who are you?" You ask.
You notice his grip tighten on his sheathed sword, "He has heard you and has sent me to give you what you seek." His voice is booming. His voice is cold.
You shiver.
In a movement you couldn't see, the man appeared behind you. He grabbed hold of your--
Static started filling your mind.
He pulls.
You scream.
You gasped for breath and slid to the ground. You heard Lucifer's distant voice call out to you, and saw that you had dropped your phone.
You scrambled for your phone, "I'm fine!" You said quickly.
"Sure as hell doesn't sound like it, darling. Did you see dog boy?" Lucifer's voice sounded concerned.
"What? Oh, no. No. I was just, um." You took a shaky breath in and breathed out. No point in lying, "It's just I had a bad nightmare last night. I can't get it out of my mind."
"A silly little nightmare makes you react that way? I'm going to need to have a chat with an old friend."
"I'm fine, Lucifer. Really." You swallowed the lump in your throat, "Actually...I've got a question for you."
"Oh? Do ask."
"Ok, so I'm going to pretend for a second that you're actually the Devil-" Lucifer sighed on the other end.
"Lucifer, do you...um...hear people?" You asked.
"Every day, darling. I'm hearing a bunch right now." He replied humorously.
You sighed and rubbed your temple, "No, Lucifer. I mean…" You swallowed again. This was such a ridiculous question.
"Do you hear prayers?"
"Ah." Lucifer went quiet.
You panicked, "Yeah, dumb question. Was just humoring you-"
"I do, well used to. Still can, I should say." He suddenly replied, "I'm sure you can imagine the kind of prayers the Devil gets. I got sick of it." He said with a hint of venom.
"What is it, like, an on-off switch?" You joked.
"I wish." He replied seriously, "No, K9. I had to train for many centuries to have those twisted requests quiet down."
"Oh…" You weren't sure how to react, "So, what happens now when people pray to you?"
"I may have a slight buzzing in my mind every now and then, but I've grown to ignore them."
"Ok." You replied, accepting the answer.
"So, do you believe me now?" He asked hopeful.
You scoffed, "Of course not, Lucifer. It was just a rhetorical question."
"Blast."
---------------------------------------------------
You're pulled from your daze by the footsteps and murmurs outside the door.
You slowly rise from your cot and walk to the front of your cage to hear better. You're not sure how many days it has been, but obviously significant enough to weaken your body and make your stomach scream. The bread and water these people gave you were not enough. It was like they were purposely weakening you.
That thought is only further proven with how many times you've been shocked. Every now and then your body would react like it was being shocked when no one was around with the damn remote. Not a good sign.
Besides the men that came to give you the food and empty your waste bucket, you've had no company since the Kidnapper himself on day one. It made you stir-crazy, but one good thing is that you could hear better in the silence.
You press the side of your face to the bars and push as far out as you can. You pick up some chatter.
"Can you believe it?"
"Not good for Jerry, that's for sure."
"Has this ever happened before?"
"No, but considering how the boss ain't worried it's no big deal. Cops only got two days before we leave."
"Right. Smooth sailing, eh?"
The voices laugh, then become too hard to hear as they walk away.
Two days?
"You will remain here for one week. That is when the LAPD will consider your case cold and stop actively searching for you." The Kidnapper's voice comes through your mind.
You panic.
Shit. Shit shit shit!
You stumble backward and trip on your ankle chains. Your still wounded head pounds madly. You slowly go into a kneeling position and wait for the stars to go away.
If you had enough water in your system you'd be crying right now.
Instead, you lift your heavy shocking cuffs and stare at your dry palms.
You contemplate.
---------------------------------------------------
"Hello there Jerry-boy!" Lucifer sing songs into the room.
Lucifer takes in Jerry's Carter appearance with a smile as he sits across the man. Curly brown hair, white, brown eyes, petite build. No one special.
Good.
"I already told ya'll everything I know," Jerry says. He looks Lucifer up and down.
"Ah, these FBI chaps don't think that's the case, Jerry." Lucifer's smile is wide. His eyes don't match it. "So, they asked me here to persuade it all out of you."
"Ya can't hurt me." Jerry sits confidently, "Who even are you?"
"Oh! Where are my manners? Lucifer Morningstar." Smile still on, Lucifer holds out his ringed hand.
Jerry doesn't take it. Instead, he scoffs and rolls his eyes, "Right. First my boss goes all crazy sayin' an angel spoke to him, and now I'm talking to the Devil. Ya'll Californians are crazy."
"Well that's some new info spilled." Lucifer leans in, "An angel spoke to the Kidnapper?"
"Ain't like them government jockeys would believe it. 'Course another crazy would." Jerry crosses his arms and leans back.
"Hm, well as interested as I am that's not what I'm here for." Lucifer stands, "The Kidnapper took a friend of mine, and I want her back." Lucifer holds his hands behind him and slowly walks around the table, "I believe you're the one that attacked her, correct?"
"Everyone was attacking her, buddy. Freak of nature if ya ask me. Never seen a bitch fight like 'er."
Within a blink of an eye, Lucifer has Jerry hoisted up in the air with one hand and the other hand pushing down the pause button on the recorder. Lucifer's smile turns twisted as he watches Jerry try to squirm free.
"That's not a very nice thing to say, Jerry-boy."
"Let me down you fr-" Jerry freezes mid insult. His mouth is still open, his eyes are as wide as saucers, and he's visibly shaking.
"See something you like?" Devil Lucifer is out, red eyes and skin. His smile is still twisted.
Lucifer plops the human back on the metal chair and leans in close, "When I press play you are going to give me every location of your boss's holdings. You are going to give me names and in the future, I will find you again so you can properly apologize to dear K9 and tell us about this angel."
Lucifer stands straight, "Are we clear Jerry-boy?" Jerry is still in frozen mode. Lucifer sighs and slaps him across the face, making Jerry fall face-first on the metal table.
Lucifer pulls his head up by his hair and burns his red eyes into Jerry's soul, "I said are we clear?"
"Yesyesyesyespleasedon'thurtme." Jerry says all at once.
Lucifer returns to normal and smiles, "Wonderful." He let's go of Jerry and presses play, "I believe you have information to spill Jerry-boy?"
And spill Jerry did. He lists every location the Kidnapper holds people in California, places where the man himself could be staying, and gives names on every accomplice he knows of. Satisfied, Lucifer leaves the broken human with a smile and strides out of the room.
"So?" Chloe fast walks to her partner looking hopeful.
"You know me, Detective." Lucifer winks at her and she smiles back.
"Thank you, Mr. Morningstar," Monroe says sincerely and quickly walks in the room to grab the recorder. When he returns he tells Chloe to call her trusted co-workers to meet them at the base. Once everyone arrives Monroe leads everyone to an interrogation room. He places the recorder on the table and hits play.
Lucifer stands in a corner while everyone else writes down notes on their pads. The back of his head starts to itch and he scratches it, a bit too forcefully.
"You ok?" Chloe whispers to him.
"Hm? Oh yes." Lucifer forces his arm down and smiles at his partner. "Just an itch."
A persistent itch.
---------------------------------------------------
24 hours left
You sit against your bars with your back towards the door. You don't move when you hear the door open and footsteps come towards you.
"You've got 24 hours, little doe. Then you'll be back home." The Kidnapper says behind you.
"Home." You whisper out. You twist around to look at him and are surprised to actually see him. You take in his details carefully. Grabbing hold of the bars with shaking hands you push your face against the bars.
"I'm going back to Hell."
"Yes well, normally I don't regret my job, but in your case…" He sighs and walks closer to you, "Sorry doe. I'm protecting the human race by doing this. Your Father said so."
You lean away from him and stare, "You're just as crazy as he is, as I was."
He shakes his head, "No little doe, you've forgotten. Forced to forget. This is the only reason I have regret in this, but you'll remember. Eventually." He turns away and walks out the door, leaving it open as a joke.
You start to shake and hyperventilate. You crawl over to your cot and kneel, hands together.
Lucifer. You pray to him.
Please, Lucifer. I'm banking on this. I've got nothing left. I don't know how far I can get in this state. If anything you said is true, please. Please save me.
Can you hear me? Please, hear me.
---------------------------------------------------
3 hours left
Lucifer and Chloe have been out since early morning checking out locations. Each one had been a bust so far, and Chloe was starting to get worried. She knows time is running out.
Meanwhile, her partner was getting agitated by the hour. She thinks it's because of them having no luck. When in truth, though that definitely is a reason, the insistent itch in Lucifer's mind was not going away.
Bloody Satanists. Dad only knew why now he was having trouble calming the prayers, but he's getting sick of it. It's getting in the way of finding you and Lucifer wasn't having it any longer.
While Chloe talks on her phone to give Monroe, Dan, and the other groups another no go update, Lucifer stays further back. He shuts his eyes and lets the voices in.
Of course the usual murderous pleas and psychopathic prayers came flooding through, but Lucifer focuses his mind on the one new soul who keeps hounding him.
Lucifer.
No...that can't be right. Lucifer focuses on this voice.
Seriously, Lucifer. I'm starting to feel like a hopeless idiot in this cage.
It is! Lucifer’s eyes open wide in shock and joy, but doing so shut your voice out. He quickly focuses once more and instantly hones in on your prayers. He listens intently while searching for your location.
He sees you in a cell, kneeled by an uncomfortable-looking cot. He looks around to see empty space. He looks further out, and now he's in tight hallways.
Still not enough!
He goes as far out as he can without losing your connection. He sees what looks to be a ship's haul with a rope embroidery stamp and hears water, as well as other humans getting the ship into gear.
There!
His eyes open and he runs to Chloe, "DETECTIVE! I KNOW WHERE SHE IS!"
---------------------------------------------------
30 minutes left
You haven't moved from your stance since you started praying to Lucifer. Your body felt stiff, but you're ready for whatever comes next.
You hear the door open and footsteps come to your cage door, "Time to get going, sweet thing."
The man opens the door, comes to your back, and lifts you up by the underarms. You slam the back of your head into the man's face and keep steady while he stumbles back. Ignoring the stars you see, you spin around and wrap your chains around the man's neck. His eyes bulge at you. One hand grabs at your neck while the other reaches into his pocket to pull out the shock remote.
He presses it and starts to smile at your pain, but you push through and tighten your chains around his throat. His face turns blue and you twist your arms to crack his neck. You fall to the ground from the constant shock and blindly grab for the remote. You click it off and smash it to pieces.
You give your body a minute to stop convulsing, then stand and shuffle out the cage and to the edge of the door. You listen from inside the room and can hear some kind of commotion coming down the right hall. You peek out of the door frame, look from side to side, and then shuffle down the right hall.
---------------------------------------------------
"LUCIFER!" Chloe yells at her partner as he storms out of her car and heads for the ship. "We need to wait for backup!" She yells getting out of her car.
"No time for that, Detective! The ship's ready to sail!" He yells without looking back.
Lucifer walks straight to the ship. He knocks out a couple of unsuspecting dock workers then walks onto the ship.
It's massive, but thanks to your prayers he knows just where you are.
He takes a couple of stairs down then hides in the shadows at the sound of voices. He pulls out a pocket knife and runs it across his palm.
He smiles when he doesn't bleed.
Good girl, Detective.
"Hey, freeze!" "Who the hell are you?!"
The two men walking down the hall pull out their guns and aim it at Lucifer when he comes out.
"Here to rescue someone, chaps. Now if you'll excuse me-"
The men shoot as soon as Lucifer takes a step. He stumbles back, but smiles viciously.
"Now, why'd you have to do that?" Lucifer changes his face and the men scream. They fire relentlessly as Lucifer walks to them. Lucifer slams the men against either side of the walls and continues forward.
Eventually, he comes across a more open room that's connected to other halls. He wants to go down the hall you're in, but there are a dozen or so men holding him at gunpoint.
"You know, I expected someone like the Kidnapper to have better defensives than this. Shame, really." Devil Lucifer speaks to the crowd.
"Holy fuck-" "It is true! Everything the boss said-" "We can't fight the D-" "ALL OF YOU SHUT UP AND FIRE!"
---------------------------------------------------
You just finished bashing your chains against your third victim when you hear the gunshots coming from up ahead.
You stumble forward. Along with your constant shaking body, pounding head, and fatigue, that last guy gave you a gut-wrenching punch and a bullet wound on your thigh. It's just a graze, but losing blood is something your body can't take right now.
By the time you get close to the opening of a new room the gunfire dies out and it's just screams. You brace yourself for a couple of seconds, then storm the best you can into the room.
You freeze. Bodies of men lay all-around a singular man standing in the center of the room. His back is towards you, but you recognize that kind of suit anywhere.
But his head...where is his hair?
"Lucifer?" You choke out.
He turns, and you come face to face with the Devil himself. His skin is charred to an awful degree. The white of his eyes are pitch black to make his blood-red eyes pop.
Lucifer smiles, "K9! I-" he starts to walk towards you, but stops at the look on your face.
"It-it's true. It's all true."

I’M LATE BUT!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY @justsomerandomweebo!!! I hope you know how much I love you, I couldn’t ask for a better friend 💕💕💕
So anyways, this was based off an idea we had from a long time ago (Not sure if you remember but I do) and it’s basically the whole team + Cryptor and Kozu doing team a building exercise and making cakes together!!
3002 words, a little bit of swearing? I apologize for the ending, I got lazy. Hope you like it :))
____________________________________
Kai stared blankly at the list in his hands. “Uhh, flour…”
“Yeah airhead, but how much do we need—“
Too late. Jay had already started pouring the bag into the mixing bowl, immediately drawing the attention of Nya.
“Jay, no!” She yelled, pulling the flour out of his hands before he could do any more damage. “You need to know how much before you pour it!”
“Sorry!” Jay said sheepishly. “Just got excited…”
“You fucking idiot, now it’s ruined.” Cryptor growled from behind him.
Jay shrunk back in embarrassment, watching the flour settle around his feet. 
“You don’t know that! Maybe we can still save it!” Lloyd snapped back while scooping flour out of the bowl with a spoon.
Cole joined him with a spoon of his own. “Yeah, the kid’s right! We just need to work together on this!”
“I believe it should be ok if we can manage to extract most of the excess flour.“ Zane added. 
The team all gathered around, trying to undo the damage. “Let me see that.” Nya pulled the recipe sheet out of her brothers hands.
“Hey!” Kai said in a slightly annoyed tone. Cryptor snorted in laughter, and Kai shot him a glare.
“Maybe if we all were given separate tasks, it would be much more efficient.” Cole suggested to Nya. 
Which of course, was a good idea. They had no organization and no solid plan whatsoever. Put simply, they were an absolute mess.
“How do you…” Kai squinted at the recipe. “Cream butter and sugar?”
“Means you mix them together, you fucking fool.” Cryptor was already ahead of him, mixing the ingredients together. 
“Hey, work together guys!” Lloyd scolded them as Kai opened his mouth to argue. “Ok, well looks like Cryptor’s got that part down. What’s next?” 
“We need two eggs—”
“Um, about that…” Jay said. “We, ahem, may have doubled that…” 
Nya rolled her eyes. “Must I do EVERYTHING??” She sighed.
“Nya,” Pixal said, looking over her friends shoulder at the recipe. “It would appear that we are missing the half cup of milk. Shall I go and—“
At that moment there was a loud crash outside.
“What the in the name of the first Spinjitzu master was THAT?” Cole said.
Everyone ran out the door and down the hallway to the garden, drawing weapons. They all stopped short when they saw what it was.
Kozu stumbled back in forth with an entire cow in his arms. His tank top and jeans were ripped and muddy, his face was streaked with dirt and mud. To complete the look, he was missing a sneaker. The cow mooed confusedly and kicked its feet, attempting to break free. “IM GETTING THE MILK!” He yelled while trying to still the squirming cow. 
Everyone exchanged confused glances. “Er… Kozu, want some help with that?” Cole yelled back.
“I AM… ALMOST GOT IT, JUST YOU WAIT!” 
“Uh, Cole, wanna help him out anyway? He looks like he could use it.” Lloyd said to Cole.
“Yeah. He’s gonna hurt the poor thing.” Cole ran to help.
“Think he can handle it?” Jay asked nervously, watching Kozu trying to pin the cow with three hands, using his fourth to wrestle it’s head to the ground.
“I… think he’s got it.” Lloyd said, reluctantly turning away from the scene in front of them.
They all headed back inside.
While Kai and Cryptor bickered over the egg situation, the other five put their heads together and began brainstorming different ideas for decorating.
“What if we did one of those tower cakes!” Jay said excitedly. “With lots of different color swirls and patterns!”
“Perhaps, but I’m not sure if we would have enough cake mix for that to work. Maybe we should just do one layer?” Pixal suggested.
“Or maybe two? We could level it and put frosting in the middle too.” Nya put in.
“Sounds good too me. Whatever works.” Zane said.
“We should wait and see how much we have when we’re done. We could always make another load if we wanted a bigger cake, and just double the recipe. We need to come up with something that everyone agrees on.” Lloyd reminded them.
“Vanilla’s all mixed in.” Cryptor said. 
Kai tagged along behind him, covered in a noticeable amount of raw egg. It was all in his hair, dripping down his chin and all over his sweatshirt.
“What happened to you?” Nya asked.
“Cry thought it would be funny to crack a raw egg in my hair.” Kai growled.
Cryptor smirked and shrugged. “I was curious to see if it would fry or not.”
Kai gritted his teeth and glared daggers at him. Cryptor chuckled in response, not at all fazed.
“Alright. Kai you go shower.” Nya steered her brother out of the room, winking at Cryptor as she passed. 
He saluted in response. As Nya and Kai headed out, Cole and Kozu entered. Kozu ducked as he passed under the doorframe. “We have milk!” He beamed, holding out a large bucket proudly.
“Nice job!” Zane smiled at him.
Kozu set the bucket down on the table. “Pix, how much of this are we gonna need?” Cryptor asked her.
“Add a half cup to the bowl and stir until the batter is smooth.” She instructed.
Kozu frowned. “I did all that and all we need is… half of a cup?”
Cole nodded. “Yeah, but you did a great job getting it dude. It’s ok, we can save the rest for later!” He reached up and patted his friend on the back. Even though Cole was one of the tallest ones in the room, Kozu still towered several feet over him.
“Alright. Half cup. And now the flour?” Cryptor glanced over, waiting for his fellow nindroids to approve.
“Leave that to me.” Zane helped pour the right amount of flour into the bowl.
“Thanks guys!” Almost all ready for baking!” Lloyd said excitedly. 
“Oh yeah that’s right!” Nya said as she walked back into the room. “What’s the plan for that?” 
“Shouldn’t we wait for Kai to decide on anything?” Jay asked. “So we can all talk about it together?”
“Nah.” Cryptor said as he stepped forwards to join them. Him and Kozu towered over everyone else as they all surrounded the table.
“Well, we have all these pans, so there’s a bunch of different combinations we can choose from.” Lloyd said, gesturing to the collection of glass and metal pans.
“We should definitely do layers of some sort.” Nya agreed. 
“The question is, how many?” Jay added.
“Doesn’t matter to me, as long as I get to eat it!” Cole said.
“We could each have our own individual layer and decorate it separately.” Zane suggested.
“No, we should do it together. Or maybe in teams?” Lloyd said.
“Teams might work better.” Pixal suggested.
“Then it’s a plan. We have more than enough batter here.” Lloyd pointed out as he dipped a finger in it. “Maybe teams of two?”
“Teams of three would be a more logical choice, given that there are nine of us.” Zane said.
“Then teams of three it is.” Nya agreed. 
“Three cakes, three teams.” Jay concluded. “I like it!”
“Team?” Nya grinned at him.
“Team!” He smiled back.
“I’ll take Kai on my team.” Cryptor nodded. 
Zane and Pixal nodded at each other.
“Then left is me, Cole, and Kozu.” Lloyd said.
“I will go with Cryptor.” Kozu said, glancing over at his friend.
“I’ll go with Zane and Pix.” Cole said.
“Guess that leaves me with Jay and Nya.” Lloyd whistled in approval.
“What’d I miss?” Kai walked in.
“You’re with me.” Cryptor looked over at him.
“Sounds good.” Kai walked over to join him and Kozu.
Everyone got to work.
“Alright, I was thinking a tower cake?” Nya said to her friends.
“Sounds like a great idea!” Jay nodded excitedly.
“Whatever works for you guys.” Lloyd smiled. “How many levels? We don’t want to build it too high or it could fall easily.”
“Good point.” Nya chewed her lip.
“How about three? One for each of us, and that won’t be that hard to do.” Jay suggested.
“Yes!” Nya clapped.
“Nice idea Jay!” Lloyd picked out three circle tins from the pile. “How do these look?”
“Great! Now we just need to spray them and fill em up!” Nya said, helping him scoop batter into the tins.
Meanwhile, things were looking great at Pixal, Zane and Cole’s group. 
“Cole, would you like to suggest any ideas for our cake?” Pixal asked him.
“Honestly, as long as I can eat it, I don’t care what it looks like.” Cole grinned. 
“Easy enough. What do you say we do something simple? Maybe two layers?” Zane suggested.
“It sounds like we have a plan.” Pixal grabbed the pans and the three worked together on filling them.
Things weren’t going to well with group three.
“How about a huge cake with like twenty layers, all different colors?” Kai suggested. 
“That’s not gonna work you fucking idiot. We don’t have the skills to pull it off.” Cryptor snarled at him.
“Can it be red?” Kozu asked.
“Red’s good.” Kai pointed at him. “I like where you’re going with this.”
“Twenty layers and bright red.” Kozu sat fowards and winked at Kai.
“Hell yeah! We’re gonna have the best cake for sure.” He leaned back and put his feet up on the table.
Cryptor sighed. “Are you serious? That’s so unrealistic…” he paused when he realized his friends weren’t listening.
“You’re kidding me. Of all the crazy shit…” he mumbled while gathering the rest of the pans.
He threw a few at Kai and Kozu. “Fill.” He instructed.
Kai rolled his eyes as he and Kozu got up and helped him fill up the pans.
“Nice teamwork guys!” Lloyd complemented as they took the cakes out of the oven a few minutes later. 
“Mmm, those smell so good!” Jay added. 
“Yeah they do…” Lloyd licked his lips hungrily.
“Not yet! Remember, we still need to level and frost them. But we have to wait for them to cool first. What color should we do?” Nya asked.
“Hmm… what about blue?” Jay suggested.
“Oh! And green?” Lloyd added.
“I like it! Yellow would go nice with it too. Maybe white trim.” Nya concluded.
“Love it!” Lloyd and Jay nodded in agreement.
“Then it’s a plan!” 
The three got to work mixing frosting together. 
“Lloyd, do you have the pastry bags?” Nya asked.
“Sure do! And here’s the blue food colouring Jay!” Lloyd passed them both what they needed and got to work mixing his own bowl.
Group two was also going great. Pixal and Zane were professionals, baking the cake to perfection, working together to make two almost flawless layers and working to mix a lavender shade of frosting. Cole was enjoying himself, cleaning up the scraps that were produced and “taste testing” the frosting. 
“It’s looking incredible guys! You two are naturals!” He exclaimed happily while munching on scraps of cake.
“Thank you Cole.” Pixal smiled at him.
“Would you like to help us?” Zane asked him.
“I’m just happy to be here. Looks like you guys have everything under control, but if you need help, let me know!”
“Fair enough.” 
Cole was right though. Pixal and Zane were complete professionals, and everything was coming along beautifully.
Meanwhile, table three was having some… issues.
“Kai you idiot, you can’t put that many cakes in the oven at once.” Cryptor said as he tried to pull the pans apart. “It’s one big layer of cake. They got stuck together.”
“Hey, we can work with this. Look we can just break them apart!” The fire ninja responded.
“It’s perfect.” Kozu beamed, looking at the mismatched and deformed sections of cake.
“You STUPID BITCH, KAI!!” Cryptor gasped suddenly.
“What did I do!?”
“You have to grease the pan before you put batter in it! Now it’s sticking to the pan!!” The nindroid was attempting to separate a layer of cake from the pan. 
“You didn’t TELL ME THAT, YOU ASSHOLE!!” Kai screeched back.
“Well, great. Nineteen layers.” Kozu sighed, holding up a mangled layer. 
“Great job Kai, you idiot.”
“At least we still have nineteen!”
“Eighteen.” Kozu pushed aside another pan.
“Just stop touching shit!” Cryptor scolded them. “I’m gonna try and salvage the rest of these layers. At least Kozu buttered his pans. Like a normal person would think to do.”
Kai growled and crossed his arms in response.
“Be useful!” Cryptor growled. 
“HOW?”
“Oh my fucking god… take the knife and work it along the edges of the pan. Like this.” Cryptor showed him how to cut the edges and separate the two.
“This one came out without having to cut it.”
“Yeah, nice Kozu. Here, do these ones.” Cryptor slid him a couple of pans.”
“But why did it do that?” 
“Because it was done right.”
Soon enough, they were down to fourteen useable layers. All of them were a little bit sliced up and battered, but they would still work.
“So what now?” Kozu asked.
“Now we need to make frosting.” Cryptor said.
“Bright red.” Kai and Kozu smiled at each other.
“Right.” Cryptor sighed. “Red. We’re gonna need a lot of frosting for this bad boy though…”
“Leave that one to me.” Kai grabbed a huge bowl and a bunch of frosting containers. 
“Um right. Kozu, mind helping him…”
Kozu was already on it. The frosting duo had all the jars open in no time. With the help of Cryptor, they soon had filled the bowl with the sugary substance.
“Can’t tell if there’s more frosting on you two, or in the bowl.” Cryptor frowned as Kai licked some off his fingers.
About an hour later, and everyone was ready. It was decided that everyone should present their cakes one at a time, and do a little friendly competition to decide who had the best cake. Judged by Cole of course, who would be taste testing all the cakes.
Group one presented their cake first. It was a pretty decent looking one too. The three had really done a good job with the color scheming and had even added a pretty white trim. “Can I try a piece now?” Cole asked excitedly.
“Sure!” Lloyd cut him a piece.
Everyone watched as Cole cut into the cake and popped a piece in his mouth.
“Mmm! Nice job guys, it’s good!” He gave a thumbs up as he took another bite.
“We can score them all at the end and see what everyone thinks.” Nya said.
Group two, no surprise, did an absolutely incredible job. The light purple base, the white designs, it really did look professional. “You guys MADE that?” Jay asked in disbelief.
“Yes we did!” Cole said. “You wouldn’t believe these two. Complete naturals I tell you! They whipped this up like it was nothing!”
Cake three was up next.
Everyone went quiet when the cake was reviled 
“Is that… the cake?” Nya asked in utter disbelief.
“That’s what these two claim it to be.” Cryptor replied.
Was it even a cake at all? It looked like the kind of thing a two year old would make out of play dough. Bright red, a shapeless mass of frosting, the a piece of cake showing through in random places. It looked like it had been run over by a car. 
“Can I eat it now?” Cole was the only one who wasn’t fazed by the horrible appearance of it.
“Knock yourself out.” Kai muttered. “Might be a spoon somewhere in there.”
Which made everyone else’s looks of disgust somehow intensify. Cole picked up the knife and broke off a piece of it. Everyone watched him as he ate it.
“Wow, this actually tastes so good! I think this one wins it for taste!” He waved his fork in the direction of the creators, who sat back in the far corner as if they were cowering away from it.
“Actually?” Jay sputtered.
“May I have a piece as well?” Zane asked. 
Cole cut him a piece and slid the plate across the table. Everyone watched in amazement as he ate.
“Mmm, he’s right! This is very good. Nice job.”
“Alright, now I’m curious.” Lloyd sat fowards and cut himself a peice. 
Everyone else followed his example, and the room was quiet for a few minutes as they dug in to the “cake.”
“That… was actually not bad.” Kai said in amazement.
“You say that as if you’re surprised.” Nya raised an eyebrow at him.
“What I believe he means is, the taste was much more appealing than the exterior.” Pixal nodded as she took another bite.
“Agree with you there.” Jay added. 
“So for taste, we all agree this one was the best?” Cole questioned. 
“Yeah, I’m in agreement there.” Lloyd grinned. “That was some good cake.”
“I liked group two’s cake. I thought it was pretty.” Kozu cut in.
“Then group two for looks.” Nya agreed. 
“And I think Lloyd, Nya, and Jay worked really well together on their cake, and were a good team.” Pixal pointed out.
“So for teamwork, group one.” Kai said.
“Can we get an award for biggest miracle?” Cryptor rolled his eyes. “Maybe most dysfunctional team?”
“What do you mean dude? We had it all under control.” Kai questioned.
“Under control? I carried us!” Cryptor growled back.
“Nah, we had a solid plan. We were totally good.”
“You… glued the layers together. The twenty layers that you wanted to stack up. The twenty fucking layers!”
“It would’ve been great!”
Cryptor slammed his hands down on the table as he stood. “Alright you know what? Next time you can do it by yourself, dipshit—“ 
“Hey, it came out great.” Lloyd chirped. “At least you guys can agree on that, right?”
“I had fun.” Kozu said, pushing his empty plate. 
“So did I!” Cole agreed as he licked his lips. “We should do team building activities more often!”
“Oh please no.” Nya said.

could i request some extremely fluffy Elmer content please?
@suddenly-im-respecsable this is for you because i told you i’d post almer fluff tonight
also because Albert is a Tree Boy and i can relate
“El, you gotta take the bus home.”
Elmer looked up from his English notes. He wouldn’t say he’d put off studying for the test, except that’s exactly what he’d done and he was starting to regret watching Buzzfeed Unsolved all night instead of memorizing adjectives.
“Hm?” he said, swallowing a mouthful of cereal. “I thought you only work in the morning and evening on school days, though.”
Ed, one of his older brothers who also happened to be his usual ride home, rolled his eyes. “Big boss man’s giving me overtime. And everyone else’s got clubs, college visits, interviews, yadda, yadda. So you’re on your own. Sorry, kid.”
Elmer sighed, tapping his spoon on the table. “Gotcha.”
Some kid rammed into Elmer’s shoulder as he ran off at his stop, and as the bus jolted forward, Elmer’s face slammed into the seat in front of him.
“Take the bus home, he says, it’ll be fine, he says,” Elmer grumbled, rubbing his nose. He leaned his chin on his hand, staring out the window to watch for his neighborhood. He’d missed his stop four times in a row once when he was in seventh grade, and his sister had claimed he was being “dramatic” when he’d claimed he was traumatized, but better safe than sorry.
The bus rolled to a stop in front of a small pond a few neighborhoods away from Elmer’s. A few people got off, and as one shuffled past him to squeeze down the aisle, Elmer leaned closer to the window to make more room.
He turned his head out at the pond, focusing on a kid sitting in a tree down by the sidewalk. He was in a spot between thick branches, looking at the phone in his hand. When Elmer squinted, he could see red hair peeking out under a baseball cap.
Before he could get a better look, the bus started up again and turned around the corner.
Ed: take the bus again. covering for a girl at work
After checking the text for the seventh time, Elmer put his phone back in his pocket and dragged himself on the bus. Again. It wasn’t like he blamed Ed for working more or his other siblings for having lives more interesting than picking up their little brother from school, it was just that the bus smelled like sweat and high schoolers that didn’t know to use deodorant.
When the bus pulled up to the pond, Elmer found himself perking up a little. His eyes wandered out the window, and sure enough, the boy was sitting there again, in a higher branch in the same tree. His legs were dangling on either side of the branch, his hands tucked under his chin like a house cat.
He glanced up at the bus and Elmer’s eyes shot down, as if he could see Elmer looking at him from forty feet away. Eventually, the bus left again, but Elmer could still feel the heat in his cheeks even after the boy was nothing more than a blur.
Ed had work for the rest of the week. On Monday morning, he ruffled Elmer’s hair as he came into the kitchen and grabbed a mug from the cabinet.
“I can pick you up today, kid,” he said, putting the mug under the coffeemaker. “I think my boss is finally taking pity on me.”
Elmer shouted, “No!”, almost choking on his orange juice, surprising them both. Ed cocked an eyebrow as he filled his mug to the brim, and Elmer rubbed the back of his neck and said, “I mean, uh, no. It’s fine, I’ll take the bus again.”
Ed laughed, taking a sip of his coffee without bothering to add creamer. “Didn’t know I was that bad,” he said, “but alright. If you wanna be squeezed in with a bunch of juniors that don’t take showers, go for it. I’m not here to judge.”
Elmer reached over the table to swat at him, and Ed caught his hand, still grinning. “Okay, okay. Maybe I’m judging a little.”
The pond (and, okay, maybe Mysterious Tree Boy) was starting to become a familiar that Elmer hadn’t even thought twice about before. So when the bus stopped and people started filing off, he automatically craned his neck to see the boy crouched in the tree.
He wasn’t there.
No bright red hair tucked under a snapback, no feet kicked up against the trunk of the tree, no awkward arms sprawled out on the branches.
Elmer felt his heart leap, and he silently cursed the anxiety pooling in his stomach for a boy he’d never said a word to. But he’d been riding the bus for a week and a half now, and he hadn’t given up Ed’s ride home just not to think about a boy he’d convinced himself was living in that tree.
Sighing, he grabbed his things and squeezed into the aisle. He would have to forget his seventh-grade fears of getting off at the wrong stop for a while if he wanted to finally put a name to a face.
He hopped off the bus, thanking the driver that was looking at him suspiciously, and walked down the sidewalk to the pond. It was peaceful. The second his shoes sank into the grass, the fresh air swept the stress off his shoulders. He shrugged his backpack off, feeling the pollen tickle his nose. He couldn’t blame that boy for spending so much time here, even if he was M.I.A. that day.
“You don’t usually get off here.”
Suddenly, it didn’t seem so peaceful when an unfamiliar voice broke through his thoughts. He yelped, jumping back from the tree. No one was around. So it was a talking tree now. Cool.
“Hey,” someone snapped their fingers, “I’m up here.”
Elmer stepped up to the tree again, peering up at the branches. Hidden by a bigger clump of leaves at the top, the boy he’d been looking for was perched up there, snapback and all. He was wearing a dark red sweater that covered his hands, a notebook and a pencil sitting in his lap. Definitely not a talking tree.
“Oh,” Elmer said, breaking out in a smile. “Hi.”
The boy rolled his eyes. “Hey,” he said, tucking a strand of hair under his hat. “I said, you don’t usually get off at this stop.” Elmer stared blankly at him, words clogging his throat. “On the bus. Big yellow thing? Usually full of annoying kids?”
“Uh, yeah,” Elmer said, snapping out of it right when he realized he was acting more like an idiot than usual in front of a boy that was a lot cuter than he looked through a dirty bus window. “Um, my brother usually picks me up? I have eight older siblings and my parents are usually at work but he had overtime so I started riding the bus and - I don’t know why I’m telling you all this.”
The boy was looking at him with something Elmer couldn’t place in his eyes. He had that dumbfounded expression on his face now, and when he shook it off, he was blushing from the ears. “Nah, keep going,” he said. “You’re pretty cu- uh, company. You’re good company.”
“Not much more to tell,” Elmer said. “I was riding the bus today and I saw you weren’t here, so I got kinda -” He stopped. Huh. That was a little weird, now that he was saying it out loud.
“- worried?” the boy finished. He didn’t look creeped out. He was smirking. Grabbing the branch above him, he dropped his notebook to the ground and came down like he was swinging on a vine, landing on his feet. He was taller than he looked curled up in a tree. “Nice to know you care, uh…”
“Elmer,” Elmer said, pointing at himself. “Elmer Kasprzak.”
“Elmer,” the boy said, shaking it. “I’ll have to remember that.”
“Am I gonna get a name? Y’know, so I don’t have to keep calling you ‘guy that lives in a tree’?”
The boy smirked again. “Albert DaSilva. And nah, I don’t live here,” he said, looking up at the tree. “Close, though. My brother raises me, but he has to drive my other brother to this debate club thing every day. I walk home and hang out here until they come back with whatever takeout they order for dinner.”
“Why don’t you just take the bus?” Elmer said.
“A junior on the bus is killer weak.”
“That’s from Be More Chill, right? I like you already.”
“Sure hope you do,” Albert said. “You’ve been here for,” he checked his phone, “ten minutes. That’s a new record from the kids that think I’m weird for hanging out in a tree for hours.”
Elmer laughed. “I’ve seen worse.”
They fell into an awkward silence for a minute, and just when Albert looked like he was about to scramble back up in that tree like a monkey, Elmer blurted out, “Uh, why don’t you have dinner at my house sometime? I’m pretty sure at least half my siblings know how to cook. Be careful around me, though. My mashed potatoes come out looking like cottage cheese in disguise.”
Albert nodded, unlocking his phone and pushing it in his hands. “We have one more thing in common, then,” he said as Elmer typed in his number. “I almost burned the house down trying to make pasta. I dunno why my brother keeps me around.”
“You can tell me all about it when you come over,” Elmer said. “I’ve got four blocks to walk to get home before my brother comes back and thinks I got kidnapped, and I’m sure you wanna get back to your tree.”
“I will,” Albert said. He waved, wriggling his fingers, then dropped his hand and wiped it on his pants. “Uh, yeah. Bye. Elmer. Elmer, right.”
Elmer ended up sprinting to get home in time, but by the time he stopped in front of his house, panting, he was pretty sure his cheeks weren’t red just from the long run.

?_? + problematic rp things! like bubble roleplaying, or writing with only cliques and stuff like that!
oooh uhhh umm….okay this is like…im not sure if you’re asking about indie rp or group rps. 
now with group rps, like….don’t bubble rp???? bc it’s incredibly rude???? and hurtful???? sure you love the mun so FUCKING much they make ur life and u wanna marry them, but how about you try and brighten someone else’s fucking day??? cos i’ve been there TOO MANY times to count, and just…try and socialise. trust me, opening ur character to other people is fun, okay???? don’t be trump and close ur borders.
in indie rp, it depends. this is ur turf and i can’t police you, obviously. but like, if you’re gonna do starter calls….try and include everyone yeah? like, at least reach out. and if you can’t vibe, LET THEM FUCKING KNOW???? it’ll hurt in the moment, but trust me, people forgive and forget. don’t leave them on read and then fucking ghost them. this ain’t tinder, m8.
writing with cliques is like kinda problematic in groups, but in indie, it’s fair game. let the people do what they want. just…i guess, give other people a chance? but that’s your thing, it’s cool. 
OTHER PROBLEMATIC THINGS LIKE…not reading the rules, if they have something like that. LOOK BUDDY, THEY’RE THERE FOR A FUCKING REASON!!!!!!!! it might mention their plot tag, their triggers, fcs they hate and what not. SO FUCKING READ THE RULES. and if they don’t have a page for that, it doesn’t hurt to ask????? like, im p sure no one will get annoyed if you IM them for their rules page. i know i would love that someone too the time to ask me that! 
there’s also the whole fc drama, and there are many people out there who’ve addressed this shit. unless the person’s gone to fucking jail or deserves to go to jail for their crimes, they’re NOT problematic. ofc u have exceptions, like ESP nasty people (im looking at holland, colton, jlaw—). 
oooh, and TINY TEXT. like, please stop tiny text AND SUBSCRIPTING THAT SHIT. my eyes are already horrible, and i have literally stop, squint and then add /mobile at the end just to be able to read your shit. like, tiny text is adorable, but ant sized texts just makes me wanna set things on fire. 
OKAY MORE TO COME BUT I THINK I’m done

prince of cats
chapter three: the gentle fine is this
on ao3 || on ffnet 1 | 2 | 3
two things:
1. i remembered what i was going to say last week: this is a really REALLY cliche fic, so if you're not into that you may want to rethink your reading, but also, this is me so i think everyone expects dcom 2. i accidentally put the wrong tags in ch1, and that's been changed, but just so we're clear, i'm using #proc ml and #prince of cats ml for this fic
enjoy~
“You are not my cat,” Marinette says simply.
Plagg meows in response.
She sighs and drags a hand through her hair. She now has to add ‘return cat’ to her list of things to do today. She would just leave Plagg be and let him run back to Adrien, but something tells her Plagg isn’t much of an outdoor cat. That something being Adrien’s reaction to Plagg making a break for it.
Also, Plagg looks comfortable in his patch of sun. If Marinette knows anything about cats, it’s that Plagg isn’t moving any time soon.
She crosses her arms. “You’re going to have to wait for me to change,” she tells him. She refuses to go knocking on Adrien’s door in a pair of ratty old pajamas with Sailor Moon on the pants.
Plagg just closes his eyes and turns his face toward the sun.

✦ ✦ ✦
Marinette scoops Plagg up in her arms and he immediately starts nuzzling against her. “I’m going to be covered with cat hair, aren’t I?” she mumbles, scratching behind Plagg’s ears. “You’re lucky that you and your owner are both cute.”
Plagg purrs happily.
“You’re just lazy, aren’t you?” Marinette muses. She carefully pulls her front door open with Plagg still in her arms and tries the knob once to make sure it doesn’t lock behind her. Then she knocks on Adrien’s door as Plagg climbs out of her arms and attempts to get up onto her shoulder.
It takes a few moments for Adrien’s door to open. His hair is a mess and he’s still wearing the clothes she saw him in the day before, they’re just more rumpled.
Marinette gives him a weak smile and pulls Plagg off her sweater. “I found something that belongs to you.” She holds a squirming Plagg out to him.
Adrien stares at Plagg for a moment. Plagg hisses and Adrien rolls his eyes and takes Plagg from Marinette. “How did you get out?” he asks Plagg as the escapee swipes at his nose.
“He was sitting in my kitchen,” Marinette explains. “Found a spot in the sun after I opened the window.”
Adrien frowns and looks back over his shoulder into his apartment. “I don’t think I…” He turns to Marinette with wide eyes. “Can cats open windows? Is this something that no one ever tells you?”
Marinette bites back a smile. “I’ve never had a cat, I wouldn’t know.”
“I’ve only had Plagg for like three months,” Adrien admits. Plagg squirms and jumps out of Adrien’s arms, disappearing into Adrien’s apartment. Adrien sighs. “Plagg is definitely a cat. I don’t know if he likes me that much, but I feed him, so he sticks around.”
Marinette grins awkwardly. “You know how you said you washed all of the glitter out?”
“Yeah?”
She rocks back on her heels. “Well, um…you didn’t. He sparkles in the sun.”
Adrien squints at her. “Are you telling me my cat is a hundred seventeen year old vampire?”
Marinette blinks at him in surprise. “That’s a big secret for your cat to keep from you.”
Plagg meows loudly.
“Do you think that’s confirmation or denial?” Adrien asks.
She laughs. “I don’t think you have enough information yet.”
“I’ll keep a close eye on him,” Adrien promises with a brilliant smile. Marinette’s heart swoops and she feels some more of her resolve melt. Adrien glances into his apartment. “Uh…would you like some…coffee or something? For returning my cat?”
Marinette feels her cheeks grow warm. “I appreciate the offer but I’m not really a coffee person.” She hates herself. She should’ve lied and forced herself to drink bitter bean water. Alya’s going to be disappointed in her.
He rubs the back of his neck. “Not your thing?”
“If there’s enough sugar to mask the taste?” She shrugs. “I drank a lot of really sugary coffee drinks in university and I’m just—” she gestures randomly with a hand. “I probably don’t need that much caffeine or sugar.”
“Fair enough.” Adrien steps out of the doorway and for a second, Marinette thinks their brief conversation is over. “Do you want to come in for like… I think I might have orange juice? Or milk?”
Her heart leaps to her throat as she tries not to nod too eagerly. “I’d like that a lot.”
✦ ✦ ✦
Marinette has always thought that you can learn a lot from people’s living place. What they surround themselves with, how they interact with it— What she learns about Adrien is that he either isn’t a fan of interior decorating or he still hasn’t gotten around to unpacking boxes several months later.
His apartment is relatively bare, bar for the furniture and a few sticky notes stuck to a wall. The layout is similar to her own, but it feels so foreign and strange. A bit empty and sort of sad feeling.
Plagg leaps up onto the couch and makes himself comfortable on a black blanket draped over the back.
“I learned early on that if I’m going to have a black cat, everything might as well be black,” Adrien says as he wanders toward the kitchen. “It’s just not possible to keep the fur off anything.”
“I can imagine.” Marinette leans against the counter as Adrien opens the fridge. The kitchen looks significantly more lived in than the actual living portion of the apartment. There's a laptop on the small table in the center of the kitchen, papers scattered around it and thick leather bound books stacked high. There are a few highlighters and pens on top of the papers, a pink one resting in the spine of an open book.
“Sorry about the mess,” Adrien says. He pulls out a carton of orange juice and a cup from the cabinet right next to the fridge. “I don’t have visitors… Well, I don’t have visitors, actually.”
“My apartment is a bigger mess,” Marinette promises. “I have fabric all over my bedroom. It’s kind of a disaster.”
Adrien gives her a curious look as he hands her the glass of orange juice. “Fabric?”
“Thanks.” Marinette takes the glass. “I’m a fashion designer and I might’ve drowned myself in fabric.”
She catches the beginnings of a smile as he turns around to start a pot of coffee. “I work from home, so I don’t really have much incentive to leave the apartment other than to buy food.”
She raises an eyebrow. “What about friends?” Whoops. Now he’s going to think she’s judging him. Good going.
Adrien shrugs and turns around once the coffee is started. “I have a cat,” he says, motioning to the couch.
Marinette takes a sip of her orange juice.
“Okay, so my social life is a little sad. Doesn’t change the fact that I have a cat.”
“Fair enough.” She glances to the papers on the table. “What do you do? You said you work from home?”
“I work for my father,” Adrien says. “I do a bit of everything, since he runs his own company, but most of it is financials and accounting. I have a brain for numbers.”
“Do you like it?” Marinette asks carefully.
Adrien shrugs. “I like it fine enough.”
“And it pays the bills,” she supposes.
He nods. “Yes, exactly.” He pulls one of the chairs out from the table and motions for her to sit down as well. “Okay, so you’re a fashion designer and hate coffee. Anything else I should know about you?”
Marinette smiles and takes a seat. “I’ve got plenty of coffee related stories. Including how my two best friends met.”
Adrien raises his eyebrows. “Really?”
She puts down her glass. “Well, it was finals and Nino had a coffee and a Monster…”

nobody owns time - lee jihoon
Tumblr media
Pairing: Lee Jihoon/Reader
Genre: Fluff
Word count: 3.1k
Synopsis: Jihoon doesn’t like how friendly you and your new co-worker act. 
Pt. 1 | Pt. 2 
― i’m back! and i wanted to add another part continuing from “hardhearted” PLEASE read pt 1. it’ll make a bit more sense haha :) i hope you like this anyways & i encourage for you to request!! im running out of ideas keke. 
i just reread this realized Chan might be mistaken for Lee Chan aka Dino... I’m so sorry for the misunderstand lol i was actually visualizing Chan from A.C.E.. but its ok! 
Two weeks.
It had been two weeks since you took Jihoon’s offer on staying in the extra room in his apartment. You both never really saw each other despite the fact you both lived together. He was too busy working on god knows what at some studio and you were too busy looking for a job. You couldn’t help but feel terrible for mooching off of him which led you to want to move out as soon as possible.
Luckily enough, you had found yourself a part time job the other day at a nearby wholesale cooperation. It had good pay and maybe if you worked overtime once in awhile, you would be able to move out of Jihoon’s place by the end of next month.
You spent the day mopping floors, transporting boxes across the store, and restocking the shelves. You looked kind of ridiculous; your small self carrying around stacks of large empty boxes and pushing carts of packaged toilet paper and water. It was also very tiring.
So, when one of your coworkers saw you struggling he couldn’t help but let out a small laugh before walking over to you.
“I almost didn’t see you behind there,” he mused, peering at you behind the stack of boxes you were holding, “You need help?” 
He carefully took a few of the boxes from your hands, your fingers brushing and awkward smiles exchanged.
“Just this way,” You called out, leading him down a few aisles and into the front where the cashier stands where. You motioned him to place them down under the conveyor belts so the scanners can use them to pack purchases.
You set down the boxes and sighed in exhaustion, dusting yourself off before finally taking a look at the kind worker.
He had black hair that swooped over his eyes and a friendly, warm smile. He was also tall compared to you, but not as tall as Soonyoung or Mingyu- that’s for sure.
A weak smile played on your lips, “Thank you...Lee Chan?” You say as your eyes sedulously scanned his name tag
Chan nodded, his wide grin showing off his pearly whites, “And you’re (L/N) (Y/N). I’ve heard talk about you in the break room.”
“Really?” Your eyebrows furrowed, “What kind of talk?”
“Don’t worry, all good talk,” He said, his face flushed a light red and you couldn’t tell if it was from exhaustion or from embarrassment, “About how you’re cute and stuff- you know?”
You scoffed, rolling your eyes playfully, “Boys really have way too much time on their hands,” you joke, nudging his shoulder, “When do you get off?” 
“The supervisor left a bit ago, so we can leave now.”
“Okay!” You clapped and the both of you began to walk in the direction to the front entrance.
“You must be hungry after carrying those boxes around,” Chan hummed, pushing his hands inside his pockets. It was freezing cold the second you both stepped outside.
“Yeah, I had to skip lunch because I had to work overtime, “ You sighed.
He frowned, but it quickly bloomed into a Cheshire cat like smile, “Hey, do you want to eat at this noodle place that not to far from here? I’ll treat you for getting a new job.”
“Really!” You grinned, “Dumplings too?”
“Two plates! I just got paid this afternoon,” He beamed.
Your grin suddenly faltered as you looked out in the night sky. The sun had already set so it was about 7 o’clock. You knitted your brows, a small ‘tsk’ falling off your tongue, “I would, but I might miss the bus home.”
Chan pouted, grabbing your arm, “Please-e-e,” He said, whining out the last syllable, “Just an hour of your time-”
“Nobody owns time,” A voice scoffed causing you and Chan to look up; well, you looked slightly upwards and Chan looked down.
“Jihoon? What are you doing here?”
The sound of the door slamming shut caused Jihoon to jolt awake. He was at the studio, working on Seventeen’s title song and he must of fallen asleep.
His eyes frantically jumped around the room, finally meeting with an oh-too-familiar 10:10 shaped eyes that belonged to the one and only Kwon Soonyoung.
“Sorry! I didn’t know the door shuts itself,” He sibilated, walking carefully towards the sleepy producer.
Jihoon groaned, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes, “What are you doing here? I’m working-”
Soonyoung laughed, wiping the drool off the shorter boy’s bottom lip, “More like dreaming about (Y/N).”
Jihoon rolled his eyes, pushing the younger boy away, “Shut up. How did you know I was here?”
Soonyoung sat on the beanbag chair that was in the corner of the studio. His legs kicked up onto Jihoon’s desk, smacking away on a piece of gum as he shrugged, “Your apartment was empty. Where else would you go?”
“Empty? What do you mean empty-”
The younger boy whinged, burying his head into the palms of his hands, “What’s with all these questions?”
A kick flew to Soonyoung’s ankle causing him to cry out in pain, “Ow, ow, ow!” He whined, rubbing his ankle vigorously.
“Don’t put your feet on my desk,” Jihoon grumbled, sending the other boy a dirty look.
“Gosh, okay! What did you ask again?” Soonyoung huffed, sitting up properly in the beanbag.
“Where’s (Y/N)?”
“She got a part time job! Didn’t you know?”
Jihoon furrowed his eyebrows, “Part time job? What do you mean part-”
The younger boys sharp glared caused the older boy to sheepishly smile and backtrack, “So...Where is she working?”
And thats how Jihoon ended in front of the Wholesales at around nine o’clock at night. It was windy and dark and he couldn’t help wonder why on earth is her boss making her work so late at night. Who knows what could happen while she makes her way home?
She didn’t even have a car.
Jihoon sighed, running a hand through his hair. 
How was this girl even getting places? Bus? Subway? 
“Please don’t tell me she’s been walking home,” he grumbled to himself.
He suddenly felt bad. He had been sort of distant towards (Y/N) since he was so busy. He never really was home because he spent most nights working at the studio but he did come home around dawn to wash up and change. 
Jihoon remembered the first morning, there were two cups of coffee and two plates of breakfast at the dining table.
And as much as he wanted to sit down, Jihoon had no time for breakfast. 
So, the next day, she was there with one cup of coffee, one plate of breakfast, one thermos of coffee and one packed breakfast.
Jihoon swore right then that he was in love with her.
Jihoon cringed, smacking his own head, Love? What the hell was he talking about? 
He also cursed at himself for standing outside in the freezing cold with no jacket. Why was he here again? 
The sound of laughter and footsteps nearing the front entrance caused him to look up.
He smiled, Oh right, (Y/N).
There you were, a sweet and bright smile on your lips. The smile Jihoon missed seeing.
Except you weren’t smiling at him. Instead, you were smiling at some guy- your co-worker(?) and you seemed excited for some reason.
Jihoon’s ears perked up as he made his way closer to the two of you.
“Dumplings too?” You exclaimed.
“Two plates! I just got paid this afternoon,” The taller boy boasted.
And suddenly Jihoon felt his blood boil despite the freezing cold weather. 
A date? She wouldn’t.
A sigh flew past your lips, “I would, but I might miss the bus home,” you said in a disappointed tone.
The bus, Jihoon mused, pursing his lips, I knew it.
Please-e-e! Let me just have thirty minutes of your time-”
Jihoon rolled his eyes, “Nobody owns time,” he ridiculed.
The two of them turned to look at Jihoon who suddenly felt subconscious of his height. He couldn’t help but realize how tall the other guy was. Jihoon could feel his ears turn pink but he didn’t dare to back down.
“Jihoon? What are you doing here?” You questioned, your head slightly tilting to the right.
“What do you mean? I’m here to see you,” He tsked, stepping closer to the two.
You couldn’t help but blush, feeling flustered as you turned to look at your co-worker, “I-uh...”
“I’m Chan! Nice to meet you.” He bowed, in hopes for this sudden tension to disappear.
But that only caused Jihoon to cringe at the sight of the taller boy bowing so low. He rose his hand, signalling Chan to knock it off, “You’re going to end up breaking your back-”
“Jihoon!” You hissed, feeling embarrassed from his aloof behavior.
You sheepishly turned to face Chan, rubbing the back of your neck as you winced, “I’m sorry, but since my friend showed up, let’s go eat next time, yeah?”
“Oh! Well, he can join us!”
You grinned, clapping your hands in an excited manner. You turned towards Jihoon, in hopes that he’d quit acting so stiff
And he pursed his lips, clicking his tongue as he stammered, “I-um. I’m allergic to noodles.”
You felt your jaw drop slightly as you stared at him in stupefy. 
What on earth is he talking about?
Thankfully for your starving self, Chan was not going to back down. “You can eat something else! They have really good meat dishes too-”’
“Wow... really? That’s amazing,” Jihoon said with a hint of sarcasm that only you caught, “I’m actually allergic to a lot so...” 
Jihoon trailed off into silence, blinking as you waved your hands at him, “What are you doing!” you mouthed.
“Who the hell is he?” he mouthed back, nodding over to Chan.
You squinted your eyes, “Go home!”
“Let’s get out of here! Please!” 
You harshly glared at your roommate, motioning for him to leave. 
Jihoon’s shoulders slumped in defeat and he turned around, starting to walk towards his car but then quickly spinning back around on the balls of his feet, clapping his hands together, “Please-please-please-please-”
Your eyes widened, and you couldn’t help but let the shock contort your features, “Jihoon, I swear to g-”
“Please-please-please-please-please-”
He was so dead.
Quickly clearing your throat, a pitiful smile formed on your lips as you turned to face Chan who stood completely oblivious to what was going on between you and the older male.
“Um, I should probably go. My friend’s kind of... sick.” 
Chan pursed his lips, understandably nodding, “Ah- I’ll head out first then. See you tomorrow.”
“We can eat noodles then!” You said in an apologetic tone.
He bobbed his head eagerly before waving goodbye to you and stifling a nod towards Jihoon who was sending daggers to the taller boy.
“Let’s go,” He mumbled, and walked away towards his car and you swore you never been so dumbfounded in your entire life.
The car ride home was silent and remained that way until the apartment door shut behind you both.
“Allergic to noodles,” You mocked with a dry laugh, “Didn’t we just have black bean paste noodles last night?”
Jihoon sighed, unresponsive as he sat down on the loveseat. You repeated his actions, taking his hand in yours; something that felt natural now. 
Despite rarely seeing him, when you did, you couldn’t help but hold his hand whilst talking and catching up with him; yearning for skinship.
“Who was that guy? Is he a full-time employee?” Jihoon asked, a hint of annoyance dripping in his tone.
You furrowed your eyebrows, “Mm, I don’t know. I just met him, but he’s really nice.”
He nodded, his eyes not meeting yours but instead, staring at the spot behind you.
“Mhm, okay,”Jihoon said, pressing his lips together, still not meeting your gaze.
“Jihoon, is there something wrong?”
“No.”
“Liar,” you mused.
His sullen pout and odd attitude gave it away. You knew something was up the second you saw Jihoon at your work. How’d he even know where you were?
You shook your head; it didn’t matter right now.
“(Y/N),” Jihoon murmured causing you to look back up at the brunette.
He paused longer than expected and you sat waiting on the edge of your seat, having no clue what he was about to say.
But then he winces, shaking his head whilst rubbing the back of his neck, as if he was trying to figure out what to say.
And suddenly you noticed how red he was getting, the sight of this was too familiar to you. Flashbacks of the night on the staircase replay in your head when he first confessed his feeling.
Is he confessing something?
“I’m sorry that I’ve been so busy lately but just know I’m never busy to spend time with you.”
“Don’t worry about it. I’ve been busy too, you know?” You forced a smile, squeezing his hand, “I’ve been working.”
“Stop talking to that Chan-kid,” Jihoon pursed his lips, “He bothers me.”
You sat there with a pokerface, your brain’s gears slowly churning; trying to connect why on earth would Jihoon have a problem with Chan. He barely met the guy. How can he judge someone so quickly the moment he saw him standing with-
“Are you... jealous?”
Jihoon’s previous sulky countenance immediately transformed into a shocked, maybe even offended expression causing you to stiff a laugh. 
“I wasn’t jealous! I was.. bothered,” He uttered.
Your serious exterior finally cracked and a goofy smile appeared past your lips, “I never thought you were one to get jealous,” You chuckled.
Jihoon scrunched up his nose, his ears burning red and his hand that was attached to yours had started to turn clammy.
“I can’t help it!” He suddenly blurted out, “He was grabbing your arm and you both seemed so cheerful- and the fact that you both almost went out to eat!”
Jihoon shook his head, frustrated, “I just don’t like the idea of you out eating noodles with another guy so late at night.”
You frowned as confusion washed over you, “I don't understand how you’re jealous over that when me cuddling with Soonyoung never seemed to bother you.”
“Y-you what?” Jihoon stammered, disbelief written all over his face.
You bit you laugh in attempt to hide your smile, “I’m joking,” you huffed, nudging his shoulder.
But Jihoon didn’t crack a smile. His head dropped down, a blush spreading across his cheeks.
“Hey..” you murmur, “Don’t you remember?”
Jihoon’s breath hitched in the back of his throat as he lifted his head. Feeling his heartbeat pounded in his ears, his eyes met yours.
“I like you,” you say, looking down at your intertwined fingers, “And I understand why you’re jealous, but you don’t have to be. I also understand that you can’t control the way you feel. I’m not telling you to. Just know that I trust you, and you can trust me too.”
Jihoon’s felt the pace of his heart slow down as every word slipped passed your lips. A small and thankful smile flashed on his face as he leaned into you, feeling as if all the stress and tension in his shoulders had vanished.
You wrapped your arms around him, taking in every second of the feeling of his body pressed into yours and inhaling the smell of his shampoo.
“Do you want to be my girlfriend?” he mumbled into your shoulder.
Your eyes widened as Jihoon pulled back slightly; his sweet, chocolate brown orbs melting into yours, “I was planning on asking you in a better way this weekend, but I’m impatient now.”
You giggled, tilting your head to the right as you nodded eagerly causing a warm smile to form on Jihoon’s face.
You watched as his orbs drifted downwards to your lips and your heart fluttered inside your chest when you realized what he was about to do.
His eyes flickered back to yours, as if he was asking “Is this okay?”
But instead of showing him a sign of approval, your eyes flutter shut as you leaned in, brushing your lips against his. 
Kissing was sort of new to you and Jihoon. You both had only shared a few pecks so you didn’t expect it when Jihoon didn’t waste time kissing back. 
It messy at first, clumsy even. Both of you were unsure but, once your timing had synced, it was slow, soft, and comforting in ways that words could never be. His lips were balmy and minty, and each kiss left your lips tingling and wanting more.
Your hand rested below his ear, your thumb caressing his cheek as both of your breaths mingled.  
Jihoon’s hand drifted to your hip, settling there as he pulled you closer until you were practically straddling his lap. You could feel Jihoon’s fingers playing with the tips of your hair before running up and down your spine, sending shivers down your back.
And as much as you wanted for this moment to never end, you both pulled away, breathless. 
Jihoon stared at you in awe; your swollen lips and red face caused Jihoon’s heartbeat to quicken. His lips turned upwards into a smug smile, feeling pleased at the fact that he was the one who made you this way; breathless and eyes filled with endearment. 
And after a moment of silence, just gazing into each others eyes, you cleared your throat causing Jihoon to blink.
“Do you want to sleep in my room tonight?” you murmured, raking your fingers through the short hair at his neck.
Jihoon rose his eyebrow in surprise, “I think you need to be more clear with what you mean.”
Your eyes widened, smacking his arm playfully, “T-that’s not what I meant!” you stuttered.
He chuckled, tucking a piece of your hair behind your ear as he threw a playful wink, “Sure it wasn’t.”
“Jihoon!”

The Hunters Chapter 14
Tumblr media
Title: The Hunters Chapter 14
Summary: What happens when four idiots get together? Nikki’s looking for his dad. Tommy’s trying to get out of his mom’s shadow. Vince is along for the ride. And Mick is just trying to keep them alive. Which is harder than it sounds when then Winchesters join the fray.
Warnings: Language, violence, m/m smut, canon divergence, character deaths (temporarily), wincest if you squint (may add more tags as I go)
Tommy dialed his mom and dad’s number and leaned back against Nikki as he listened to the ring on the other end. Nikki rubbed his back gently as he waited. Tommy expected the machine to pick up. He did not expect his mom to actually answer.
“Hello?” Voula answered as she picked up the phone.
“Mom?” Tommy asked. “You’re awake?”
“You caught me on a water run,” She explained. “It’s two in the morning. Tommy, are you okay?”
“I…” He gulped a little. “There was a demon in the apartment mom. A demon that was after me.”
“Το μέλλον του. Για να είναι η καλύτερη πηγή για τον βασιλιά αγόρι. Για να εξυπηρετήσω τον κύριό μου ... και είμαι σίγουρος ότι δεν θέλετε να μάθετε όλες τις βρώμικες λεπτομέρειες. (His future. To be the best resource to the boy king. To serve my lord and...well, I'm sure you don't want to know all the dirty details.)” Played in Voula’s head as she thought back to the day that made her take Tommy and head to America.
“γαμώ! (Fuck!)” Voula called out. “Γι 'αυτό εγκαταλείψαμε την Ελλάδα. Ήθελα να το αποφύγω. Οι γαμημένοι δαίμονες έρχονται μετά το αγόρι μου και εγώ… (This is why we left Greece. I wanted to avoid this. Fucking demons coming after my boy and I…)”
“Mom,” Tommy cut her off. “I can’t understand you when you get hysterical. What’s going on?”
“I’ll come explain it to you later. Right now, I need you to call Bobby Singer. He’s going to find someplace safe for you,” Voula told him.
“Bobby? You know Bobby?” Tommy asked. “Mom, what is going on?”
“Thomas! Quit arguing with me and do it!” Voula yelled at her son. Nikki could hear and saw the way Tommy cringed at her calling him Thomas. “I will be over in a few hours. Did the demon give you a name?”
“No,” Tommy shook his head. “The lore in your journal says demons have black eyes though, right?”
“Most demons. There are expectations based on ranking,” Voula explained.
“Well, this one had yellow,” Tommy told her. Voula was silent on the other end. “Mom?”
“Did...did you say yellow?” She asked.
“Uh, yeah. Why?” Tommy asked.
“I’m coming over there right now and you’re coming back home,” Voula told him.
“Mom, no,” Tommy told her. “I don’t want to come home. I just want you to tell me what’s going on.” He heard her sigh and the phone shift.
“I don’t want to explain over the phone,” She told him, which caused Tommy and Nikki to look at each other. The entire time Tommy hunted with Voula, and the entire time Nikki had known her, she had never been one to shy away from telling things over the phone. “Call Bobby. Explain it to him. I will see you in a few hours, okay?”
“Okay,” Tommy nodded.
“I love you honey,” Voula told him.
“Love you too mom,” They both hung up. Nikki watched Tommy’s hand tremble as he rested the phone back in the cradle.
“I’ll call Bobby for you,” Nikki told him. Tommy just nodded. “Hey, it’s going to be okay. As long as I’m here, nothing’s gonna hurt you.” He kissed Tommy’s temple. “Why don’t you try to get some sleep while I call Bobby?”
“Yeah…” Tommy sighed. He kept thinking about what the demon had said, about special children, and then his mind drifted to the girl, Carrie, and the way she pushed him away using her mind. Was she one of them? Who else was? There were so many questions rattling around in Tommy’s head as he let his eyes fall closed and rested against Nikki’s chest.
****
Nikki didn’t sleep after he hung up with Bobby. He’d be lying if he told people he wasn’t extremely worried about all this. He had seen one demon in his life. Bobby and him had used it to find out where Frank was, but the demon knew nothing. That’s when he learned a rule of thumb for dealing with demons.
Demons lie.
No matter what they say, you don’t believe it until you can prove the truth. Even though, Bobby did explain to him that they will tell the truth if it hurts more than a lie will. Or if they are in extreme pain, such as during an exorcism or when being bathed in holy water.
“Are angels real?”
“I’ve never seen one, but don’t get your hopes up, kid,”
“Hey, I’m making some coffee. Want some?” Vince whispered from the kitchen, not wanting to wake up Tommy.
“Yeah, I’ll take a cup,” Nikki nodded. He gently moved Tommy so he was fully on the couch and stood up to stretch his back and let his knees pop. He went to the small kitchen area where Mick had brought an old coffee maker when he moved in with them. Vince was making coffee while Mick was warding the house.
“This is all insane,” Vince told Nikki as he poured him a cup of the black brew. “Tommy has visions, demons are real. What next? Mermaid in the bathtub? Tooth fairy wondering the strip picking up knocked out teeth from a fight?”
“That’s some...really vivid imagination there Vince,” Nikki shook his head. “Bobby told me he’ll talk to Rufus and find us a place to hide out.”
“If he can track him down,” Vince told him. “Rufus has been known to be a little elusive at times.”
“How do you know Rufus?” Nikki asked, leaning on the counter. Vince sighed and turned to the fridge, pulling out a half-empty bottle of Bailey’s and pouring it into his coffee. “Wow, going Irish?”
“It was a camping trip,” Vince told him. “Mom and dad and me. It was supposed to be fun but these things that I later found out were vampires, they got us. Rufus and this other guy, I think he said his name was Gordon, they showed up to help us out. But Gordon, he thought my parents had been turned and he…” Vince closed his eyes. “He killed them. He…”
“Oh god,” Nikki whispered.
“Rufus took me. He kept me safe from Gordon. I never saw his face, and Rufus never made me be around him. He helped train me to be a hunter, and he sent me to school, where I met Tommy. And I found out he was a hunter when his mom and Rufus took us on a hunt together.”
“That’s awful,” Nikki told him as he watched Vince chug his drink. “My dad walked out on me when I was two. I went through a cycle of abusive stepdads, being dropped off with my grandparents, etc. I didn’t find out my dad was a hunter until years later, when Bobby saved me from a wolf.”
“Our lives man,” Vince shook his head. “Mick doesn’t really talk about his past or anything. And I don’t push it.”
“I can’t believe how things played out,” Nikki told him. “I honestly was hoping to be a rockstar at some point, but I’m pretty happy with our little cover band.” Vince was about to speak when a noise was heard from the living room. Nikki looked at Tommy to see him moving in his sleep.
“T-Bone?” Vince asked. Tommy whimpered and thrashed before he screamed.
*****
“You’re a monster,” A woman with long, grey hair, hissed at a girl. “The bible tells me I have to do this.”
“Mama no,” Tommy looked at Carrie, who had blood staining her skin. “Mama please.”
“Monster!” The woman hissed. She went to stab Carrie with what looked like a box cutter of some sorts, when Carrie, who was tied to a chair, used her mind to rip the knife from her hands and plunge it into her mother's heart.

Title: The Hunters Chapter 12
Summary: What happens when four idiots get together? Nikki’s looking for his dad. Tommy’s trying to get out of his mom’s shadow. Vince is along for the ride. And Mick is just trying to keep them alive. Which is harder than it sounds when then Winchesters join the fray.

Several Months Later
The hunts kept up, and despite being a really popular band on the strip, Motley Crue just couldn’t make it big. They were constantly taking off for hunts, and while they did have some original songs that were popular, they were mainly a cover band. But they were good at what they did and the strip loved them.
“Man, I would love it to just make it big even once,” Nikki sighed. “Like, it’d be nice not having to travel upstate to hustle pool to get more than Ramen.”
“I know babe,” Tommy responded. He had his head in Nikki’s lap and was reading a magazine. “I’d kill to have a drum kit like some of these. With all the lights and pyro and shit.” Nikki smiled and ran his fingers through Tommy’s hair. Tommy had been complaining of a headache all morning, and most of the night before. He actually hadn’t drank as much as the others had, and he could hold his liquor with the best of them. So Nikki was trying his best to help his head.
“I don’t think we’re booked anywhere tonight, are we?” Nikki called over to Vince and Mick, who were at the table eating some cereal.
“Nah. We have nothing until Friday,” Vince told them. Nikki nodded and turned his attention back to Tommy, who had abandoned his magazine and had his eyes closed.
“You okay?” Nikki asked him.
“Yeah I’m just gonna get some water,” Tommy told him before standing up. He had only made it a couple steps when his vision started to blur and was replaced by something else.
Nikki, Vince, and Mick watched as Tommy collapsed to the ground, blood coming from his nose.
“Tommy!” Nikki yelled as he ran to the fallen drummer. Vince and Mick were up in no time, at his side. “Tommy, can you hear me?” He shook Tommy, who was staring straight ahead at the wall. What, in reality, was only about thirty seconds, felt like a year to Nikki. Tommy blinked his eyes and reach up to wipe his nose with the back of his head.
“What happened?” Mick asked as Tommy looked at the three of them.
“You guys...you wouldn’t believe it,” Tommy told them. He slowly stood to go wash the blood of his hand, aware that the other three were right at his heels in case he fell again. Tommy washed his hands and turned to look at them. “What?”
“What wouldn’t we believe?” Mick asked. Tommy sighed.
“Psychics run in my family,” He told them. “And I...sometimes I know things are going to happen before they do. Not always though, and this is the first time it’s happened while I was awake in a long time.”
“Don’t you think that’s something you should’ve mentioned?” Vince asked. Him and Tommy had been friends for a long time and Tommy had never once mentioned anything about this.
“It never came up, and like I said, it’s normally just dreams that end up happening when I’m awake,” Tommy sighed and headed back to the couch.
“What did you see?” Mick asked him.
“It was weird but there was this girl in a tree and she fell out and she just...floated there,” Tommy told them. “I don’t know what it means, but I know exactly where it was at.”
“Where?” Nikki asked, staring at Tommy and noticing the way Tommy wouldn’t look at him.
“Fairfax,” Tommy told them. “I used to snag singles from a Tower Records nearby. Got Vinnie and I both some cool things.”
“Well, I for one want to go see the flying girl,” Vince told them. “Come on T-Bone. You and me will go check it out.” Tommy looked at Nikki, a little nervous about what he was going to say. As Tommy stood, Nikki laced his fingers with his and stood up with him.
“Come on. Let’s head over to Fairfax,” He told them, squeezing Tommy’s hand.
****
“Well, no flying girl,” Vince looked around. Mick shook his head and headed over to a newspaper stand. “You said it was around here, didn’t you?”
“Yeah. I don’t see anything though,” Tommy told them, walking over to a tree.
“But mommy, I told you that’s what happened!” A little girl could be heard a couple houses down from where they were standing. “Billy dared me to go up in the tree. And I did! And he left and I couldn’t get down and I fell! And I flew like a bird and landed on the ground!”
“Elizabeth, I told you to quit spreading those stories. The school already has a therapist talking to you about your imagination,” An older woman, who the boys assumed was the girl's mother, told her. “Now you stop it right now.”
“That was her,” Tommy whispered, watching as the girl and her mother got in a car.
“What? The girl from your vision?” Mick asked. Tommy nodded.
“She was wearing the same dress and everything,” Tommy told them.
“Damn. I wanted to watch her fly,” Vince pouted.
“I don’t understand. If we weren’t supposed to be here to see her fall, why did I have the vision?” Tommy asked. Nikki wrapped an arm around him, giving him a squeeze. I guess we can go back home. I…” Tommy trailed off as his brain started to feel like it was being squeezed in a vice.
“Tommy?” Nikki asked, looking at his boyfriend. Tommy had a glazed look in his eyes before he squeezed them shut.
“My head,” Tommy whispered before he leaned into Nikki. The scenery before him changed.
He was looking inside a garage. He watched a man walk into a workshop area and slam the door behind him. He was muttering something under his breath as he plugged in a radio and started playing some music. Tommy watched as the man worked on something. He saw across the room from the man as a drill started to float in the air. It spun, like the trigger had been squeezed a couple times, causing the man to turn and look at it. Before Tommy could react, the drill raced forward, hitting the man right in the crotch as it turned on. Blood went everywhere, and the last thing Tommy saw before his vision returned to normal was a girl standing outside the window, watching.
“Tommy!” Nikki called out, bringing Tommy back to the here and now. “Are you with us?”
“I had another vision,” Tommy breathed, not realizing he hadn’t taken a breath. “There was a guy. And a floating drill and it hit him right in the…”
“Oh god,” Vince cringed. Mick produced a small pack of tissues so Tommy could wipe the blood off his nose.
“Did you get anything from it? Any indicator of where it would be?” Nikki asked, leading Tommy back over to the car so he could lean against it.
“It was in his garage. But there was a girl outside. She had ratty blond hair and was just watching it happen,” Tommy told them.
“How much you wanna bet she’s connected somehow?” Mick asked.
“Children are fucking creepy,” Vince told them.
“She wasn’t a child,” Tommy asked. “She was probably about my age. I have no idea who she was. But I also have no idea who he was either.”
“Why don’t we go get some food to help you get your strength back up, and we’ll go from there?” Nikki suggested. Tommy nodded and Nikki helped him into the Barracuda while Mick and Vince headed back to Vince’s Challenger. Tommy settled into the passenger seat as Nikki started to drive. Tommy glanced out the window. There, coming out of the house to meet with a younger girl, was the man from his vision.
“Nikki!” Tommy called out. “That’s him!”
“Who?” Nikki asked as he pulled over. Tommy pointed to the house, where a man looked around before leaning in to kiss the girl. “Should we warn him or something?”
“Wouldn’t you want a warning before a power tool comes flying at your junk?” Tommy asked, looking at his boyfriend before looking back at the couple.
“Fair point,” Nikki nodded. Tommy jumped out of the car, not grabbing a badge or anything. “Hey wait!”
“Sir!” Tommy called out. The guy and girl looked at him. “Sir, I think your life is in danger.”
“Are you threatening me?” The guy asked. Tommy shook his head.
“What? No!” Tommy told him.
“What my partner here is saying is we have reason to believe your wellbeing is in danger,” Nikki flashed his badge. Agent Scott. “We think it’d be in your best interest to...not be here tonight.”
“Oh, I get it,” The guy laughed. “You know, you almost had me fooled for a second. How much did my bitch wife pay you to do this?”
“What?” Tommy shook his head. “Sir, we don’t know who your wife is. We’re trying to keep you safe.” The man rolled his eyes and led the woman into the house. Tommy looked back at Nikki. “What the fuck was that?”
“You two okay?” Mick asked as they pulled up by them.
“Tommy tried to save that asshole’s life and he was an asshole,” Nikki told them. “I think he deserves his new piercing.”
“Yeah but in the dick?” Vince asked.
“I’m pretty sure this is where it happened,” Tommy told them. “There’s a garage right there.”
“Stake it out and see if we can figure it out?” Nikki asked him. Tommy nodded. “Okay, but first, you need some food. Who knows what all this stuff is doing to you.”
“Yeah, that sounds good,” Tommy sighed. Nikki led him back to the car and they headed out.
