Give us a random celebrity (gym leader, tv personality, musician, etc.) you can’t stand and why.
I will preface this with saying that Crasher Wake, the real life human person, is a wonderful person! I was not able to beat his Gym, but he is very kind and surprisingly giving. I am not exactly close with him, but I have spoken to him on occasion, especially when it pertains to Pastoria Marsh.
However, his TV/professional wrestling personality is absolutely GRATING. Dialga's chestplate, what do they do to that man to make him act like that? It's ridiculous! He's not a cruel man, making him pretend to be one is entirely off-base...

sleepy boy
Danny is tired but happy he told his parents about him being Phantom and they took it surprisingly well. Sure they were sad but accepted what happened. It was all to good to be true so Danny remained on his guard around his parents.
But as time passed nothing happend and his parents became even more supportive of him. After finding out about Danny and how he became a halfa it was easy for the to figure out Vlad after an epic beat down of one Vladimer Masters The Fenton parents forced vlad to use his influence to get rid of the GIW
After all of that Danny finally felt himself relax all the tension left his body and he fell asleep. just a little nap.
At this time, the still unknown king of the infinite realms gained a new power. This is also when Danny begins his sleepwalking adventures.
The first time it happend the Fenton family had no idea what to do Danny had just created a portal in the middle of town and sleep walked right into it and reappeared out of a another portal on top of the school.
The next time it happened, Danny had fallen asleep in Mr. Lancers' class when he suddenly stood up, created a portal, and walked through it while also transforming into his Phantom form. Needless to say, Danny's identity as Phantom was no longer a secret in Amity Park after that.
Danny, of course, has no idea this is even happening. No one has the heart to tell him when he has finally started to relax. The people of Amity Park quickly got used to Danny randomly popping up in places via a portal, so much so that there was a segment called Sleeping Phantom Watch on the news. This was the new normal until one day Danny Portals away, and no one has any idea where he is.
The bat fam had just sat down for dinner when a lazerus green portal appeared in the dining room. Everyone freezes, watching the portal, when a white-haired teen walks out.
Everyone is immediately on their feet, ready for battle,e yelling at the white-haired boy as the portal closes behind him
"what are you doing here" Bruse growls using his Batman voice the boy doesn't respond just stands in place
Damian rushes towards the boy and presses his sword to the intruder's neck. "he asked you a question." still no response
Soon, the boy was surrounded, and they got ready to attack when the white-haired teen let out a loud snore. "Wait, is he..." Tim gets closer to look at the boy and waves a hand in front of the boy's face, who snorts. "He's sleep"
"What, no way " Dick leans forward to see for himself just as the white-haired boy starts walking again and walks straight through Dicks body as if he wasn't even there Panic erupts as Dick pats his body down, shivering "S..so cold"
The boy keeps walking, and they can't grasp him. Then another portal shows up in front of the boy, who walks through it, and it closes instantly after him.
After that, the Bat fam kept seeing the sleep-waking portaling teen all over Gotham.
During one of his sessions, he interrupted the joker who had kidnapped Jason and Damian, but this time, he wasn't alone. Behind him was a tiny green puppy who was pulling on his pant leg, trying to drag the boy back through the portal when it closed, leaving the boy and dog.
The dog seems to cover his snout in frustration, and honestly, Jason and Damian could understand. But of course, Joker had to ruin the mood.
"Well, well, what have we here?" He grins, getting into the boys's faces. "An uninvited guest, how I hate party crashers. How about I introduce you to my friend Pain. Tell me what hurts more. I never get a straight answer." Joker cackles and swings a crowbar at the boy's head
Jason and Damian yell, hoping to wake the boy up as the weapon comes down. A loud growl makes the joker pause before he could land a hit and he looks down to see the puppy growling fiercly at him standing in front of the boy. "Out of the way, mutt!!" Joker yells, kicking at the dog
A move he would quickly regret as the dog grew and grew and grew until it was the size of a large Bear with teeth bigger and longer than jokers arms which was proven as the dog proceeded to tear said arm and crowbar off jokers body
The clown screams in horror as the once tiny harmless looking puppy procedes to tear his limbs off. Soon the Joker was nothing but a head with a body. The dog was about to finish off the joker and bite his head off when the boy starts walking towards another portal.
The dog shrinks and chases after the boy before the portal closes.
Jason and Damian looked down at the crying limbless joker, and Jason burst out laughing, "That was the best thing I had ever seen in my life."
From then on, every time the mysterious sleepwalking boy appeared in Gotham, Jason was there with Damian, offering the dog treats and pets and helping the poor pup take care of his sleeping boy.
As for the rest of Gotham, they, like the Amity parkers, had become accustomed to the boy and his dog magically appearing in random places. No one bothered them, and after what happened to the Joker, none of the other Gotham rouges would even dare touch him if he showed up near them with the dog.
And if the dog wasn't there, well, the giant werewolf and the yeti were enough of a deterrent.

Hello!
🌟 here again! I'm here with another request for our lovely bodyguard yandere.
Have you ever seen videos of fans jumping up onto stages with kpop idols? Then get carried away by security behind stage?
I'd love to see how our lovely violent baby girl would react to not being able to react with immediate violence as a reaction given all the eyes and cameras on him. Would he be stone faced just carrying the stage crasher by the collar like a cat? Or would he be dragging him by the legs into hell?
The reactions of fans to the bodyguard would be interesting too, I could see Reader being jealous over people thirsting over bodyguard on Twitter or something lol. Or bodyguard confused on why people would say stuff like "he could snap my back like a twig and I'd say thank you" about him.
Hope you are taking care, and I have my fingers crossed to hear from you eventually
Sincerely
-🌟
Long overdue and I'm terribly sorry about that! I had the ideas for a while now, but I could never find the proper words to assemble everything. ;-;
Yandere! Bodyguard x Idol! Reader (III)
Your bodyguard has gained sudden Internet fame after dealing with a crazed fan on stage. Naturally, he couldn't care less about anyone else, but that doesn't stop you from trying to make him jealous in return. Someone will have to be the sacrificial lamb to his murderous possessiveness.
Content: female reader, obsessive behavior, violence, death, reader and yandere are both psycho
[Part 1] [Part 2] [Part 3]
Tumblr media
The screen of your phone lights up again and you only need a quick glance to know what it is. Another post about last night’s event. About your bodyguard. You sink your nails into the leather chair and look ahead towards the mirror, exchanging a smile with the hairstylist.
“Oh, it looks lovely! You always do such a great job.” You compliment the woman as you tilt your head both ways, admiring the gentle curls. Now get the fuck out already.
“I’m so glad! Is there anything else you’d like me to-”
“No, that’s all. You can go”, you respond curtly.
The stylist collects her products and waves at you, exiting the room. The phone vibrates once more with a new notification, and you promptly throw it against the door. It scatters in large chunks of scrap across the plush carpet.
The whole ordeal happened within seconds. You were performing the final song of the evening when a fan hurled himself over the security barrier and onto the stage. The people standing at the very front began screaming and some took their phones out, scrambling for a good angle to record everything.
“Please, (Y/N), I’m your biggest fan!” the man pleaded, approaching you with shaking hands.
You froze in place, observing his actions with the same indifference of watching a TV ad that goes on for too long. Before the stranger could even reach your proximity, your bodyguard effortlessly and speedily threw him over the shoulder, giving you a reassuring nod and retreating backstage. He had that smile on his face that signaled he was pissed, and your mouth hung open in realization: You wouldn’t be able to witness the massacre.
You knew that expression all too well. That man would never see the light of day again, and under normal circumstances you would be right behind your bodyguard, cheering him on and suggesting ways to further torment of whoever dared to get too close to you.
And yet, your little ritual had been interrupted. You stood there on the stage, baffled, as the other idols gathered around you with worried looks. You poor thing. That must’ve been terrifying. The audience was shouting words of support, encouraging you to continue as if nothing happened. With pursed lips, you tightened your grip around the microphone and reassured everyone of your well-being. The show had to go on, regardless of your bloodlust.
This morning, you woke up to hundreds of posts online about the incident. Or rather, the way your bodyguard dealt with it. You scrolled through photos, videos, and confessions regarding the mysterious stranger who protected you from harm.
“I need a man like that in my life!”, “I know, right? So cool!”, “Imagine how easily he’d pick you up”, “The broad shoulders! I’m in love <3”
You don’t even have time to be properly upset about it. Your schedule for the day is packed with interviews and photoshoots. You glance in the mirror one final time and exit the room. The bodyguard has been waiting for you, resting against the wall with crossed arms.
“I need a new phone”, you tell him in a casual tone.
“What happened to the previous one?” He inquires, somewhat confused by your sudden request.
“Just do it!” You snap at the large man, rushing past him without providing any window for a reaction.
Ideally, you would very much like to tell him that the sudden influx of attention irritates you beyond comprehension. Then he’d reassure you that his indifference towards everyone else has not changed whatsoever, and thus your worries are entirely unfounded; but, if you need an outlet to release all that stress, he can easily find an empty changing room and service you like he always does.
Unfortunately, there is no time for that.
The bodyguard follows your movements with raised eyebrows, perplexed. What could’ve gotten you into such a sour mood? Has someone caused you to be upset? Are you still pouting after the missed playtime? He ponders the possibilities as he searches for an assistant.
The employee is visibly startled upon hearing his deep voice calling her. She turns obediently and nods, flashing her best customer-facing smile.
“Can you get (Y/N) a new phone?” he asks plainly.
“Huh? Sure…Did she specify any preferences? What was her previous model?”
He stares in confusion.
“…Can’t you guess?” she insists.
“I’m not good with these things.” The bodyguard rummages through his pocket and pulls out an old, cracked device to prove his point. “I don’t use phones much.”
Why would he? The only time he needs a phone is when he’s apart from you, which hasn’t happened since the Christmas incident. He previously considered a more modern option, so he could stalk your social media and make sure you don’t have any perverts sliding into your messages. That proved to be unnecessary, as you frequently leave your phone unattended or involve him in the process: most of your photos posted online nowadays are actually curated by his truly.
“Oh, so you don’t know about the recent craze?” The woman chuckles and takes out her own phone, speedily tapping on the screen before presenting it to the man. “See? You’re trending!”
He scans the multitude of messages. Ah, so that’s what it was. His lips curl into a grin. To think he’d witness his spoiled idol struggle with jealousy.
“That will be it for today!” the photographer announces, gesturing with his hands and guiding his helpers with the expensive equipment.
This was it, the last photoshoot. You unscrew the cap from your water bottle and take a healthy sip from it, wiping the sweat off your forehead with your other hand. The only good part about the continuous work was that you couldn’t check more of those annoying posts drooling over your bodyguard. Remembering it is enough to increase your heartbeat. The male model you were paired with for this campaign walks in your direction.
“Say, do you have anything planned after this?” He questions smugly. “You could come back to my place.”
What a ridiculous idea, you think with a grimace. Does this asshat think he’s worthy of your company? After a second of contemplation, you’re flooded with the same disappointment you felt back on the stage, watching your fan being carried away like a mere piece of cardboard over the much larger frame of your bodyguard. You might just consider the stupid offer. Why not? It’s not fair to be the only one plagued by jealousy.
“Sure. I know a better place, though.”
Your eyes narrow in a bright smile and you lead the young man towards your backstage room. As you pass by your bodyguard, you remember to mention in a low voice: “Make sure no one disturbs us.” He doesn’t answer, merely gazes at you with an empty expression.
“Man, that guy is scary as hell”, the model remarks as he throws himself in your vanity seat. “Are you not afraid to be alone with him?”
“Not really, no”, you respond idly. “You, on the other hand…”
“Excuse me?”
Now then. To set the scene, you gingerly climb into the man’s lap and adjust your arms around his neck. What a frail little human in comparison to your bodyguard. You blush in anticipation and begin counting in your head.
“H-hey, what did you mean-”
The young man is interrupted by someone’s abrupt intrusion. Your bodyguard throws you a quick glance before turning to close the door behind him. Alright, he can’t be too excited. He must pretend he’s furious, baffled, out for the hunt. You went all the way out for him. He even checked his watch to make sure you had enough time. He can’t let his enthusiasm betray him.
You jump out of the model’s hold with a gasp.
“It’s not what you think~!” you exclaim with feigned surprise. “He started flirting with me and I…” Your words trail off and you rub your arm nervously.
The bodyguard approaches the other man with monotonous movements and grabs him by the collar.
“Wait, you can’t possibly…he’s a well-known model!”, you protest with a fake cry.
Sweet little darling. Worry not, he won’t disappoint you. He’ll put on the best show for your sake. Anything to soothe your innocent heart.
“Could be the President himself”, your bodyguard confesses with a dash of theatrics, “and I’d still break his fucking neck for touching you.” He pulls out his pocketknife and looks at you. “I’ll deal with you in a moment, Miss.”
Your knees weaken and you have to rest against the vanity table. Among the screams and pleads for mercy coming from the poor butchered model, you can only focus on one thing: the violent fucking you’re about to receive.
Your bodyguard truly knows you best.

Wedding Crasher
Based on this request.
Tumblr media
Paring: Azriel x Fem!Reader (mates)
Summary: Reader is forced into an arranged marriage, and when the day of union comes it is interrupted by two familiar Illyrian warriors.
Warnings: Toxic relationship with parents | forced marriage | Azriel threatens a life | but pretty much all fluff <33
2.4k words.
Tumblr media
My white dress hung heavy on my shoulders, my corset too tight, my heels already making my feet ache.
The plastered smile on my face hurt my cheeks, and the thorns in my bouquet prickled my sweaty palms. I released a shaky breath as the music of the string quartet began to play, an unmistakable tune meant for happy brides ready to walk down the aisle.
Which is what I was supposed to be, happy, ready. Heads turned in my direction and my back straightened, my brows creasing the slightest fraction.
My husband-to-be waited at the end of the walkway, his smile broad and malicious. My stomach churned.
I didn't want to be here, here on this beach getting married to some guy twenty years older all for an alliance my parents forced me into. My self-sovereignty for what? For a few pieces of gold and a minor title?
I took a steadying breath and began walking forward, keeping in rhythm to the strum of the music. The groom reached his hand out towards me, my own shook as I took it and he pulled me the rest of the way to the altar.
The officiant began the reading from his script, and with it, my ears began to ring, I tuned the priest out and my eyes fluttered closed. My fiancé's hands squeezed mine, not in a comforting manner, but a warning. I snapped my head up and looked at the officiant, I blinked at him with creased brows.
"Do you, take Rhen Talor to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish till death do you part?" He repeated each word adding another pound of weight to my shoulders.
"I—" I look between the oblivious officiant and the groom, Rhen, to my parents who were watching with narrowed eyes. "I..." I wanted to say yes, I was going to say yes, but the pounding in my heart could be heard in my ears and I got the sneaking suspicion that I was about to vomit all over my white gown.
An unnatural wind blew my hair back as if nature itself was beckoning me to step away, to run.
I looked in the direction of the wind, my hands slipping from Rhen's as I spotted two towering, familiar winged figures in the distance and I realized the pounding in my ears was the beat of their wings.
The crowd murmurs at the intrusion as the two Illyrians casually stroll towards us, arrogance and power in each step.
"Excuse me for a moment," I say, gathering my skirts in my hands and rushing over to the two males as fast as I can in my heels that seemed determined to get stuck in the sand.
"What in the seven hells are you two doing here?" I seethe, looking at the fae warriors who were smiling at me with wicked amusement. Some part of me relaxed to feel anything besides fear and nausea, even if it was anger taking over.
"We're here to save you, what else?" The shadow singer arches a brow, dark shadows swirling up the pure white of my dress.
"I don't need anyone's saving, especially not two Carynthian warriors," I argue and Cassian snorts, taking in my appearance.
"I only came along because Az promised there'd be a buffet," The lord of bloodshed shrugged.
"Not for— this is wildly inappropriate, even for the two of you." I groaned but Cassian only continued walking, towards the guests that were scrambling away from the sight of his seven siphons. Leaving me and Azriel, our words drowned out by the crashing of the waves.
"You're too late. I already said I do," I cross my arms over my chest.
"Liar," He narrows his hazel eyes on me. "You know better than to try and fool me, Love, I could feel you tugging at the bond, you were in distress," Azriel took a dangerous step forward and I sucked in a sharp breath at the mention of the bond, not accepted but not rejected either. A bridge between us that I both refused to sever and to walk across.
H grabbed my hand that was prickled with the thorns of my bouquet, shadows soothed over my palm, relieving the sting of my minor wounds. "You shouldn't be here," I frowned but his smile remained.
"No, probably not, but I can't let you marry him," He said, his voice brooking no room for argument, ever the cool and collected male.
“Go home, Azriel,” I speak quietly, but not weakly.
“Come with me.” He matches my tone, his scarred fingers intertwining with my manicured ones and the sensation was so different than the feeling of Rhen’s grip. "Why did your parents arrange this? What are they gaining from this union?" He asked, voice slightly stiff at the idea of selling me off for their own personal achievement.
"Money, the Talor's have a small title and crop of land, it'd be enough to last us a few centuries,” I shrug. I loved my parents, despite their twisted and corrupt ways, I loved them because they fed and raised me, I loved them because they put clothes on my back and told me bedtime stories. I never assumed I’d have to pay them back, not this way, at least.
"I'll give you every cent to my name if that's the price of my mate's freedom, if money is what they want, they can take mine." The shadow singer stated, his words certain that it made me realize that I’ve never been as sure about anything as he was about this.
"I can't ask you to do that." I shake my head, slipping my fingers from his, knowing the lingering guests were watching.
"You don't have to, I want you to be happy, let me buy you then set you free." He implored, allowing my hand to fall to my side only because he moved to cup my cheek. "And if I'm lucky you'll fall in love with me along the way." He shrugged with a smirk of pure fae male arrogance.
"Az," I deadpan, the words half a growl.
"I'm not asking you to marry me, I'm asking you not to marry him." His eyes flick back to the male watching with furious eyes from the archway. "If you tell me to I’ll leave, and you can walk down that aisle again— but let's not kid ourselves, you never wanted this, never wanted him,” His hand on my face made me melt slightly, and he was right, despite wanting to pay my mother and father back, this is nowhere near anything I wanted.
I swallowed thickly, weighing the options. If I married Rhen my parents would be happy and this would all be water under the bridge— but I’d suffer a life of being both a housewife and broodmare with a male who did not truly love me.
If I went with Azriel my parents would likely attempt to cleave us, unless Azriel paid them as he said he would, as long as gold was placed in their hands I doubted they’d have much argument— and I could be free to choose what I wanted with my life, I could accept my mating bond.
"But where will I go? What will I do?" I ask, my mind filled with questions that could only be answered by my future self.
"It's entirely up to you, you can live with me, or you can move to another court, whatever you choose. You'd be free." He stresses and my mouth gapes open, then closes. I look to the waves crashing against the shore only a few yards away, shouting at me to flee, to go with him.
All of it was too good to be true, Azriel coming to be my savior with this plan. It couldn’t be real and I needed him to punch me so I could wake up from this dream.
"Though I'd prefer if you stayed close, it's painful having you so far even right now— and you're only a city away, I can’t imagine a whole court,” He added and I looked back to him, a small smile pulling at the corners of my lips.
"I haven't even accepted the bond yet and you're already desperate." I tease.
"Yet?" He arched a scarred brow.
I flush a soft hue and avert my eyes again, this time settling them on the approaching figure that formed a knot of anxiety in my stomach.
"You're out of line, get your hands off my bride you bastard." Rhen spat and I flinched at the way he cursed the word, Azriel didn’t so much as shift, in fact, I could’ve sworn there was a flicker of amusement dancing in his eyes.
"Out of line? No, I'm exactly where I should be, you're the one that's in my way." The shadow singer smoothly replied, Rhen snarled at his retort and grabbed me just above my elbow, his grip as tight and immovable as iron.
"Don't touch me." I gritted out, tugging at my arm but he didn’t budge and simply pulled me back towards where the officiant stood, uneasy on his feet.
"Come on, be a good little wife, and finish the damned ceremony," Rhen growled, and before I could take even another step towards the archway my fiancé halted, freezing in his footsteps as shadows wrapped around his limbs, his neck, encasing his body and shoving into his open mouth, restricting him of oxygen.
"She told you not to touch her Talor, so I'd highly suggest you let go or you won't have a hand anymore." The Spy Master’s voice was death incarnate, I had never heard anything so paralyzing in all my immortal life. It chilled me down to my very bone, and I thought that I might be carrion if I was ever on the receiving end of my mate's deathly stare.
Rhen’s hand releases me if only to grasp at his own throat, silently pleading with his eyes to have mercy.
The shadows released him and Rhen was sent running, sprinting as fast as he could away from the male that stood before me, now looking at me with an incredulous grin. Insane, he must’ve been insane— and I must’ve been too, to be so in love with that smile and the dimples that came along with it.
"You were seriously going to marry him?” He scoffed, hand coming to my arm and inspecting the area Rhen held me for any injury.
"Well, it wasn't really my choice," I grumble under my breath as Azriel lets go of my arm with a gentleness that rivaled his vicious exterior that occurred only moments ago.
Azriel’s eyes flicked over to the few remaining guests and I turned in the direction he stared, at my parents who were staring with both helplessness and fury in their eyes.
"Me and Cass will deal with them later, let's get you out of here, alright?" He tugged at the tether between us and my head whips back to him.
“Okay,” I nod and reach out, my hand finding his. His eyes soften as he pulls me into him, wrapping a wing around me and cocooning us in darkness before he utilizes his shadows to pull us into another realm entirely, it was only a brief moment of darkness and an empty void before my heels were on a hardwood floor and the sweet citrusy smell of Velaris flowed through my nose.
"We left Cass," I say, glancing around to find the second Illyrian nowhere to be found.
"He was in the midst of stuffing his face with bread rolls, I think he'll be just fine." Azriel half scoffed, half chuckled. He pulled away but before he could completely slip from my grasp my hand tightened on his and his brows lifted a fraction, eyes lighting with intrigue.
"Thank you." Is all I can manage to say.
"Don't thank me." He shakes his head. "I should have gotten you out of there far sooner." He spoke as if he was more dissatisfied with himself than anyone else.
"But still, when it mattered you came for me," I utter, taking a cautious step forward.
"You're my mate, even if you haven't accepted the bond, it's my duty to keep you safe— you shouldn't have even been out of my sights," He says, his voice soft as he looks down at me, hand squeezing mine.
"I wasn't, not really." I hum, gesturing down to the shadow that swirled around my ankle, the one that would always remain there.
He smiles at the thought, then says, "You look beautiful, by the way." His eyes flick down to my white gown and I follow his gaze, smiling softly at the dress, it had been the only thing that was my decision in this entire endeavor.
"I only wish that it was your choice to put that dress on, this morning," He added, as if reading my mind, and for a moment I wondered if the mating bond allowed him to see how I felt.
"It will be, one day," I nod confidently and his brows raise with insinuation. A gentle smile blooms across my lips and I cup his sharp jaw. “But for now, baby steps,” I suggest rising up onto my toes, leaning closer, placing a kiss on his adjacent cheek.
When I pulled back he was beet red and I giggled at the sight, it was a wonder that this male, who flushed at a chaste peck on the cheek, was also one of the most feared in Prythian.
“Right,” he swallowed down the lump in his throat, his hand only a phantom at my waist, hovering. "I'll have money sent to your parents by Dawn." He says, then quickly adds, “Even if they don’t deserve it.”
I smile brightly and pull away. “Thank you, Az,” I murmur.
“Anything, for you.” He confessed, and I knew he meant it. I smiled, thinking that in the morning I might reward him with some breakfast, in turn, accepted that golden tether between us and finally allowed myself to be happy, with a mate.

date crasher
pairing: carmy berzatto x reader
summary: carmy and you have been broken up for years, but continued to be very good friends. that works fine until carmy hears that you have a date.
word count: 1.5k
Tumblr media
“Are you sure you can’t stay a little longer?” Carmy asked you, leaning against the doorframe of the office. You shook your head, knowing he wasn’t done trying to convince you.
“Marcus is almost done making those donuts I was telling you about. They’re blueberry, your favorite. You’d love them.” He said, trying to persuade you. You frowned at him. “I just came to give you these. I can’t stay. I’m sorry.” You said, grabbing a bag out of your purse and handing it to him.
His fingers ghosted over yours as he accepted the bag. “You brought me muffins from my favorite bakery. Thank you. You’re the best.” He said, pulling you in to a side hug.
You both lingered, not wanting to pull away. Then, Richie appeared in the doorway. “Oh, hey, I didn’t know you were here.” Richie said, waving at you. You smiled back at him. “Hey, Richie. I was just about to leave.” You said, earning a frown from Carmy.
“Can I walk you out?” Carmy asked, resting his hand on the back on your arm. You nodded, smiling at him. “Bye, Richie, it was nice to see you.” You said, giving him a quick hug as you and Carmy walked past him.
You and Carmy silently walked to your car. His hand grazed against yours, causing your skin to tingle.
You got to your car and leaned backwards against the driver’s door. “Are you sure you have to leave? I miss you.” Carmy said, softly. You gave his hand a quick squeeze.
“Yeah, I gotta head back to my apartment to get ready—” You said. You tried to stop yourself from admitting too much. “Get ready for what?” Carmy asked, curiously. You crossed your arms and sighed.
“I have a date tonight.” You said, hesitantly. Carmy’s shock was written on his face. You and Carmy didn’t talk about your love lives. Your relationship was tricky enough being lovers turned exes turned friends, so you usually didn’t talk about dating.
“Oh,” he said, failing to mask his disappointment. He saw how nervous you looked. “No, I don’t mean it like that. That’s really great. I hope you have a good time.” He said. The lie wasn’t convincing.
“Thank you, Carm. We’ll talk later, okay?” You asked him. He quickly nodded and pulled you in to a hug. You got into your car and waved at Carmy as you drove away.
After Carmy got home, all he could think about you was going on a date. He knew that it was your business and he shouldn’t care, but he couldn’t help it.
He worried about you. He always wanted to keep you safe.
Every time he thought about it, he felt a twinge of jealousy. The thought of somebody putting their hands on you made him shudder.
You had just finished getting ready for your date. You adjusted your hair and slipped on your heels.
You heard a knock at your front door. You grabbed your purse and your phone and went towards the door. You opened your door, expecting your date. Instead, you were face to face with Carmy.
“Carmy, what’re you doing here?” You asked him, in shock. His eyes slowly ran down your body, admiring your outfit. “Wow,” he mumbled under his breath.
You felt your heart flutter a little as he watched you. Carmy always looked at you like you were a supermodel. “You look…amazing,” he said. He was almost speechless.
“Thank you, Carmy,” you said, bashfully. He reached out to grab your hand and spun you around in a circle.
“Carm, seriously. Why’re you here?” You asked him. Before he could answer you, you noticed someone walking up behind him.
It was your date.
“Oh, uh…hey,” your date said, glancing between you and Carmy.
“Oh, ummm Jonathon, this is my friend Carmy. Carmy, this is Jonathon, my date.” You said, introducing the both of them. Carmy clenched his jaw as he looked Jonathon up and down.
“Oh, your date tonight! I totally forgot. I’m so sorry. I just wanted to talk to you about something, but I don’t want to interrupt.” Carmy lied through his teeth. You glared at him, knowing he fully remembered your date.
You looked in between Carmy and Jonathon. “You two talk. I’ll go wait in the car when you’re ready.” Jonathon started to say. You quickly shook your head and grabbed his hand.
“No no, you’re okay. Carmy, we’ll talk tomorrow, okay? It’s not an emergency, right?” You asked him, firmly. You knew it was a tricky topic between the two of you, but you weren’t going to let Carmy sabotage your date.
You reached over and grabbed Jonathon’s hand. You watched Carmy’s grip tighten on his phone in his hand. He glared over at Jonathon. “I really need to talk to you.” Carmy said, urgently.
“I’ll give you both a minute.” Jonathon said, walking away. You crossed your arms as you faced Carmy.
“So, an emergency, huh? And you forgot about my date?” You asked him, glaring at him.
“I’m sorry. I really wasn’t trying to make you upset.” He quickly apologized when he realized you were annoyed. You continued to stare at him, waiting for him to explain.
“Please don’t go on this date.” He begged you. He reached out to grab your hands, but you stepped away from him. “Hold on, Carmy. What’re you talking about?” You asked.
“Can you please just do me this one favor?” Carmy asked you. You could see the desperation in his eyes. It was like his life depended on it.
“Why, Carmy? I need to know what you’re talking about.” You told him. Your mind was racing trying to figure out why Carmy didn’t want you to go on the date.
Carmy pushed his hair out of his face. He took a deep breath. “I have no right to try to stop you, I know that. But, I was thinking about you going on this date, and then it hit me. I still love you, and I shouldn’t drop this on you like this. But, you’re the only person I imagine myself with and the only person I want to spend time with.” He confessed, grabbing your hands.
You could feel your eyes go wide. It felt too good to be true. “Carm, this is…” you were at a loss for words.
“Crazy, I know, trust me,” he said, finishing your thought.
“We haven’t been together in five years, and you just want to jump back into this?” You asked him, still in shock.
Carmy shrugged. You leaned back against the wall, trying to process everything he was saying. “I don’t know. I just know when I hang out with you, I never want to leave. And I think about you all the time. And the thought you with another guy kills me.” He told you.
He searched your eyes for any clue as to how you were feeling. “Carmy, this is a lot to think about,” you hesitated. Carmy stepped back from you, realizing he was overwhelming you.
“I’m sorry to ambush you like this. You should go on your date, but just please think about it.” Carmy said, before turning to leave.
You fixed your hair and took a deep breath before going to find Jonathon.
Carmy sulked back to his apartment. After four hours had past, he knew it was too late for you two. He called Richie and ranted about the whole situation. Richie told him he’d come over right away.
Carmy tried to watch tv, but his mind lingered to thoughts of you. He’d lost you for the second time. Somehow, it hurt even worse than the first time. Now, he knew you were really gone.
He heard a knock at the door and got up to answer it. He was relieved to have Richie to talk to. It was one of the only times Richie wasn’t arguing with Carmy.
Richie knew how much Carmy loved you, even after all these years. So, he knew how devastated Carmy was.
Carmy opened the door, but he wasn’t looking at Richie.
You were standing in front of him. You were out of breath from running to Carmy’s apartment.
“Of course it’s always been you. I just needed time to think.” You exclaimed. The tension and stress left Carmy’s body. He leaped forward towards you. His hands grabbed your waist as he kissed you.
He ran his thumbs against the satin fabric of your dress. You wrapped your arms around Carmy’s neck. His lips moved quickly and desperately across yours.
You both had years to catch up on.
He softly nipped at your bottom lip. It’d been years, but he was already jumping back into old habits. You grinned against the kiss.
You never wanted to forget the way his curls felt in your fingers or the way he always tasted like a mix of spearmint and cigarettes.
“Looks like I don’t need to cheer you up,” you both heard someone say at the end of the hallway.
You both quickly pulled apart. With his arms around your waist, Carmy pulled you behind him, protecting you.
You both realized it was Richie.
“I’m glad you both pulled your heads out of your asses.” Richie said, chuckling.
“Yeah, me too.” You said, wrapping your arm around Carmy’s shoulders and kissing his cheek.

Squatter | Hwang Hyunjin
Tumblr media
.ᐟPAIRING: Hwang Hyunjin x reader
.ᐟSYNOPSIS:  Squatter/crasher is someone who settles on land without right or title. Inspired in the song "OKUPA" by the argentinian singer WOS (I will leave the song below so you can listen to it!!)
.ᐟWARNINGS: mention of weed and drugs; thoughts of death
.ᐟWORDCOUNTER: 1,7k (1731)
.ᐟA/N: divider it’s not mine :3
Tumblr media
He walked through the dark streets, his pale skin illuminated by the few streetlights scattered around that part of the city.
Dark circles rested heavily under his eyes, and a black hood covered his head.
The moon, hidden behind the scarce clouds, was his only companion on that lonely nighttime stroll through empty streets and alleys. The area he wandered so carelessly through wasn’t the safest, especially at that hour, but for someone who had almost lost the will to keep living, none of that mattered in the slightest.
He moved through the streets like the wind, lost in thought, waving his hands near his stomach as if casting a spell. His mind was flooded with countless thoughts—among them, you. His thoughts overwhelmed him so much that he got distracted, nearly forgetting where he was headed.
He quickly regained his pace, only a few blocks away from his destination. Inside his pockets, he carried a couple of cigarettes and a Jolt, ready to spend a quiet night together.
Upon reaching his destination—your home—he stopped in front of the metal gates, knocking on the wooden door between him and the black iron bars with his fist. Resting his head against them, he wrapped his fingers around the bars, waiting patiently.
The door creaked as it opened slightly, and through the small gap, your eyes locked onto his tired, dark ones. A smile crept onto the taller boy’s face as your gazes met—he felt inmortal whenever you stare at each other like that.
Every time he saw you, he felt like he was losing his grip. You were the only reason he had to keep going. The only part of his day he actually enjoyed was the moments he got to see you, hold you.
You fully opened the door upon realizing it was Hyunjin on the other side, quickly fumbling with your keys to unlock the gate and let him in. As soon as the gate swung open, he rushed inside like lightning, crashing his chest against yours in an embrace full of warmth. He rubbed his head against your hair, messing it up even more.
Closing the gate behind him, he gently pushed you against the still-open wooden door, trapping you even further between his arms, whispering affectionate words in your ear.
You both stepped inside your dimly lit home. At that hour, you had already been asleep—until his knocks woke you up. You knew it was Hyunjin. He always showed up at this time, claiming he was too busy during the day. He never told you what kept him so occupied.
He took your hand, intertwining his long, pale fingers with yours, pulling you down the hallway toward your room. It was as if this were his own home—he walked through it with such ease and confidence.
Once inside your room, he let go of your hand and went straight to the window, opening it to let the fresh breeze flood the four walls. Meanwhile, you walked to the other side of the room, turning on the small lamp on your nightstand, filling the space with a warm glow.
He sat cross-legged on your bed, pulling his hood down and reaching into his pocket, taking out a hand-rolled joint. You sat across from him, watching his every move intently. It felt like déjà vu—this same scene played out nearly every night.
Flicking his metal lighter open, he lit the blunt, the tip glowing orange as he inhaled. The paper burned, turning to ash, as he passed you the Jolt, exhaling a thick cloud of smoke that quickly filled the room with the unmistakable scent of weed. It wasn’t your favorite smell, but over time, you had grown used to it, learned to tolerate it.
The night went on like that, passing the joint back and forth until it was finished. The room was now heavy with the lingering scent of weed, faint wisps of smoke still hanging in the air.
Both of you lay on your backs, staring up at the gray ceiling, laughter spilling from your lips for no reason at all. Your hands were intertwined over the messy, wrinkled sheets.
Hyunjin always got loose-lipped when he was high, so he couldn’t stop the words forming in his mind from escaping.
"Everything feels easier with you" he suddenly muttered. It wasn’t a secret that he believed that. It wasn’t something he never thought he’d say, either. He just didn’t think now was the right time—he would’ve preferred to say it when he was sober. But at that moment, he couldn’t help himself, just like he couldn’t help but feel that simply being with you, seeing you for even a few moments, made all the sadness drain from his body.
Your brain struggled to process a proper response, so instead, you tightened your grip on his hand, propping yourself up on your elbow before leaning in to press a soft kiss against his cheek.
Outside your window, birds began to chirp—a sign that the sun would soon rise. Taking it as your cue, you reached over and switched off the only light in the room, silently letting Hyunjin know it was time to get at least a few hours of rest.
He lay beside you, both of you facing each other under the covers. You could feel his body heat so close to yours. He reached out, gently tracing his fingers over your face as if you were made of porcelain, as if he might break you with just his touch. He felt like, little by little, he was.
"Your bed is so big" he whispered, a quiet chuckle slipping past his lips, his voice raspy from the smoke. His eyes, now soft with affection, were locked onto you. "There’s always room for me to become a squatter in it."
Faint rays of sunlight began creeping through the window behind him, casting a golden glow over the room—and over your bright, glistening eyes. They reflected the morning light like magnifying glasses, making the glow even more intense.
Slowly, your eyelids fluttered shut as sleep took over. Hyunjin inched closer, wrapping you in his arms, resting his chin atop your head, inhaling the faint scent of your shampoo mixed with the remnants of weed. Even with your eyes closed, to him, you still shined under the sun’s rays. To him, you always shined.
You brightened his days, but he believed he darkened yours. He didn’t know whose fault it was, but it was no one’s more than his . The guilt weighed heavy on him—he felt like he was dragging you down, ruining you. And he knew you’d never admit it, even if it were true.
That feeling was like a dagger lodged in his stomach. The words he had bottled up no longer felt enough to express what he truly felt—to make you understand that the only thing of value in his life was you, and yet, he was slowly destroying you. Everything he touched, he ruined. And he was so tired, so exhausted from that realization. He could no longer balance the scales of fate. Everything was against him.
Hyunjin didn’t sleep for more than half an hour. His thoughts kept swirling, overwhelming him, keeping him awake—even while holding onto his safe place.
He trembled slightly as he held you, thinking about how, from the very beginning, he had condemned you to fall into a dark pit with him. You had been so kind, so full of light when he first met you. Why did he have to drag you into this? Into weed, into drugs. He knew he had never forced you—you had chosen it yourself. But still, he couldn’t stop overthinking it.
He wanted to change fate—change his fate. The fate that had led him to meet you. He would never regret knowing you. The thought of not having you terrified him. If he wasn’t with you, he knew he wouldn’t be able to stop thinking about death—his death—twenty-four hours a day.
Feeling you stir in his arms, he lowered his gaze. Your eyes were wide open, staring at him, a small smile playing on your lips.
"How long have you been awake?" he asked quietly, keeping the intimate atmosphere untouched.
"A while. But you seemed lost in thought, and I didn’t want to disturb your peace" you answered, yawning at the end of your sentence.
Disturb his peace? You didn’t realize how many nights you brought him relief? How much he lived for the crazy stories you told him when you were high together?
"You could never disturb my peace, pretty girl," he murmured, a weak chuckle escaping as he pressed a soft kiss to your dry lips. "Actually… thanks for all the days you stayed."
Hyunjin confessed in a near whisper. He knew you had talked about this before, that you didn’t like when he feared you’d leave. But he could never thank you enough for saving him.
"Don’t say that. I’d never leave your side, no matter what," you whispered, tightening your embrace, letting your warmth seep into him—letting him know that you’d always be there.
Tumblr media
For some reason, Hyunjin really liked that your doorbell didn’t work. It seemed to intrigue him, almost like a thrill, making him wonder if you were home, if you’d hear his familiar knocks on your front door. If you were waiting for him.
And there he was, once again, standing outside your house after a rough day, hoping there was still space in your bed to crash for the night—because he loved being a squatter in your bed, in your room, in your home.
In your life.
His intrusive, wicked thoughts—the ones that made him question whether his own mind was on his side—would never truly leave him. But when he was with you, the storm in his head mostly cleared, making way for the ray of sunlight that you were to him.
As long as you existed, he would never leave. No matter how much he wanted to disappear, he would stay. You had never rejected him or pushed him away, despite all the darkness that surrounded him, so he made a promise to himself.
As long as you and he existed, he would protect you from whatever he could—even if he couldn’t protect you from himself, he would try his best for you and only you.

Can you do a fluffy and angsty fic for Lando after Austria, his girl comforting him. I'm surprised there aren't more after what happened under the tags but the only ones that were there are smut, which I don't really want to read I want fluff and angst.
look at you now (ln4)
✦ pairing - lando norris x female!reader
✦ genre - tears, comfort, negative self talk
Tumblr media
The silence in the McLaren motorhome was deafening. Lando slammed the door shut behind him, the force echoing through the sterile space. He could feel the sting of Zak Brown's disappointed gaze and the worried glances of the mechanics burning into his back. But all he saw was red. The vibrant blue and red of Verstappen's car that had stolen his dream away at the last corner.
He stormed into his living quarters, helmet flung across the room with a dull thud. Tears welled up in his eyes, blurring the already distorted reflection staring back at him from the mirror. "Stupid, stupid, stupid!" he yelled, slamming his fists against the cool glass.
The sound of his own voice startled him, the raw anger morphing into a crushing wave of despair. This wasn't just any race. This one, at the heart of Austria, could have been his. He'd driven his heart out, pushing the McLaren to its limits, only to have it ripped away in a heartbeat.
Just then, the bedroom door creaked open. Y/N, her normally cheerful face etched with concern, stepped inside. One look at Lando's hunched form, and her face crumpled in sympathy.
"Lando," she whispered, her voice barely a breath.
He turned, the dam breaking. He fell onto the plush sofa, burying his face in his hands as choked sobs wracked his body. Y/N sat beside him, her arms wrapping around him in a silent embrace. She didn't try to talk, just let the storm rage within him.
Slowly, the intensity of his sobs subsided into shaky breaths. He finally looked up, his eyes red-rimmed and glassy. "I messed up, Y/N," he croaked, his voice thick with shame. "I had it. I had the win. And I threw it all away."
Y/N cupped his face, her touch sending a jolt of warmth through his chilled body. "Hey, no," she said gently, her gaze unwavering. "It wasn't your fault. These things happen."
His voice broke again. "But it could have been different. I should have been more careful, should have backed out. Now, Max extends his lead, and all the hard work..." He trailed off, unable to finish the crushing sentence.
"Lando," Y/N interrupted, her voice firm but laced with love. "Listen to me. You drove a phenomenal race. You were brilliant out there. Don't let one incident define you."
He shook his head, the self-loathing swirling inside him. "It's more than an incident, Y/N. It's my season, maybe even my championship dreams, going up in smoke. What if it was all for nothing? What if I'm just not good enough?"
His voice cracked on the last word, a raw vulnerability Y/N had rarely seen. She squeezed his hand, her heart aching for him. "No," she said fiercely. "Don't you dare say that. You are one of the most talented drivers on the grid. This doesn't change that."
He looked down at his trembling hands. "But what if I keep making these stupid mistakes? What if I'm just a glorified crasher?" The words were bitter on his tongue, fueled by the self-doubt gnawing at him.
Y/N's eyes widened. "Lando, stop it! You are not a crasher. You're a racer, a damn good one. This doesn't erase all the podiums, all the incredible races you've driven."
He let out a humorless scoff. "Yeah, a few podiums here and there. But a win? A championship? Maybe that's just a dream for someone else, someone who doesn't crack under pressure."
Y/N's heart clenched. She hated seeing him like this, tearing himself down. But she knew blind reassurances wouldn't work. She needed to reach the root of his despair.
"Lando," she said softly, "where is this coming from? This isn't the Lando I know, the one who fights tooth and nail for every position."
He met her gaze, his eyes filled with a storm of emotions. "Maybe I'm not that Lando anymore. Maybe I'm just a disappointment."
The pain in his voice was a knife twisting in her gut. But she knew this wasn't the time for coddling. He needed a reality check, a reminder of the racer he truly was.
y/n's pov
"Lando, listen to me," I said, my voice firm but laced with the fierce love I felt for him. I cupped his tear-streaked face, forcing him to look into my eyes. "This isn't some pit stop gone wrong, some tire strategy backfiring. This is you, deep down, and that man staring back at me is someone I barely recognize."
He flinched at my words, a flicker of hurt crossing his eyes. But I couldn't sugarcoat it. He needed a wake-up call, a reminder of the incredible person he was.
"This self-loathing, this tearing yourself down – that's not you. You're Lando Norris, the fearless racer who takes corners with the precision of a surgeon and the audacity of a daredevil. You're the one who leaves veterans speechless with your talent, the one who brings a smile to every engineer's face because you push the car to its limits and beyond."
I paused, letting my words sink in. His eyes were glistening, but a flicker of curiosity peeked through the storm of emotions.
"Yes, this race didn't go your way," I continued, my voice softening. "But that doesn't erase all the incredible moments, Lando. Remember Miami , the way you battled for the lead lap after lap? Or Sochi, that daring overtake on the last corner that stole the show? You don't define yourself by one mistake."
"But what if..." he started, his voice barely a whisper.
I cut him off gently. "There will be mistakes, Lando. That's part of racing, part of life. But you learn from them, you come back stronger. And that's exactly what you'll do. Because that's who you are. A fighter, a champion in the making."
Taking a deep breath, I shifted the focus. "And beyond the track, Lando? You're the one who lights up a room with your goofy grin, the one who donates his time to charities close to his heart. You're the one who surprises me with those ridiculous flower crowns and remembers the smallest details about my day. You're an amazing boyfriend, a kind soul, and that doesn't change just because of a DNF."
A single tear escaped his eye, but this time, it wasn't one of despair. It was a tear of understanding, a flicker of the Lando I knew and loved starting to shine through.
"You are so strong my love," I finished, my voice thick with emotion. "And stronger than any setback this sport can throw your way. Don't let one race define you. Remember who you are, the incredible racer, the amazing boyfriend, the extraordinary person I fell in love with."
end of y/n's pov
Y/N's words hung in the air, a balm to the storm raging inside Lando. He stared at her, the self-doubt slowly receding, replaced by a flicker of the fighting spirit she'd ignited. He wasn't a failure, and he wouldn't let this break him.
With a surge of determination, he cupped her face in his calloused hands. "You're right," he murmured, his voice raw but filled with newfound resolve. "I am Lando Norris. And I'm not done yet."
Before she could reply, he leaned in, his lips meeting hers in a kiss that spoke volumes. It was a kiss of gratitude, of rediscovery, of a love that wouldn't be shaken. He poured his emotions into it, the frustration, the self-doubt, and the overwhelming love for the woman who held him together.
Y/N responded in kind, her kiss fierce and full of support. When they finally broke apart, both breathless, a shaky smile played on Lando's lips.
"Thank you," he whispered, his forehead resting against hers.
Y/N squeezed his hand. "Always."
Settling back on the sofa, he pulled her close, his head resting on her chest. The familiar rise and fall of her breath soothed him, a calming rhythm against the chaos in his mind.
Y/N carded her fingers through his hair, a gesture that always brought him comfort. The soft strands tickled his scalp, sending a wave of relaxation washing over him. He closed his eyes, the sound of her gentle humming filling the space between them.
He knew the road ahead wouldn't be easy. There would be more races, more challenges. But with Y/N by his side, he was ready to face them all. He would learn from his mistakes, come back stronger, and chase his dream with renewed determination. Because he wasn't just Lando Norris, the racer. He was Lando Norris, the man who loved and was loved in return, and that, he realized, was the greatest victory of all.

lol, the simple fact that it's just a favorite scene episode of the question and you respond with several
Okayyyy… is this your way of asking for more?!?! Because you know I can’t resist... Here are five more that nobody asked for...
Pillow talk with Hayley
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is peak romance out of context... like, swoon-worthy levels of soft. But with context? Devastating. He’s watching his girl sleep, probably thinking about how he doesn’t deserve this happiness, especially after killing Marcel. And Hayley knows it. She can feel the waves of regret and self-loathing radiating off him. But she loves him anyway.... maybe even because of it. She wants him to know he’s worth it, worthy of this love, this devotion. That he’s a good man. The little hand kiss? His big sad eyes? A hint of his titty? It’s everything.
Literally every time he’s holding Hope
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He whispers the sweetest little things to her, and I swear it doesn’t even feel scripted—it’s just Daniel talking to the baby. And it makes me melt.
Klaus the party crasher
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It doesn't have to be about Elijah allll the time (just most of the time)...This entire scene is pure joy. Klaus with his slutty little curls being an absolute menace? Iconic. “You know, I used to find it insulting that I was barred from your special little club. But now I realize I lack the flexibility to become a member—I could never get my head far enough up my own ass.” I’m screaming.
The whole pool scene
Tumblr media
If I were Hayley in this situation? My heart rate would not be going down. At all.
Bullying fools
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Elijah’s humor fading over the seasons is such a loss (rip to his wit), but this? Always cracks me up. His deadpan delivery, the tiny smirk, and that middle part doing the absolute most. He could steal Jenna from Ric in a heartbeat, and they both know it.

mediocre party crashers | mark lee
Tumblr media
genre: mark x reader, fluff, strangers to... more! yk. the usual. lol
a/n: unedited, just trying to get out of my writer's block with some summer vibesssss hehe
wc: 2.1k
warnings: crude language, extensive mentions of alcohol and being intoxicated, making fun of the upper class mwahahaha...
summary: with your best friend, ningning, you crash a birthday party... that also happens to be on yacht. when you lose her in the crowd of upper class partygoers, you cross paths with a guy named mark.
Tumblr media
In your youth, you would’ve never imagined yourself crashing a party, but being friends with Ningning has brought its own adventures over the years. You think back to the more mundane variations of such; late night grocery store runs, impromptu road trips, scratching your toxic ex’s car with your car keys… Okay, maybe mundane wasn’t the right word. However, the scale of Ning Ning’s spontaneity seemed to grow in scope- the smaller adventures of the past no longer satiating her wanderlust and adrenaline seeking tendencies. 
So here you were, standing on the deck at the edge of the water, staring at a literal yacht. 
Some friend of a friend of a cousin of the second wife of Ningning’s brother had told her about the “little'' get together that was currently underway. Apparently, as suggested by the gaudy banner shoddily attached to the side of the boat, it’s a birthday party.
The scene before you is almost a tableau; unable to be registered as real to your working-class eyes. Everyone in your line of vision is richer than rich- dripping in the kind of luxury that one can only experience when backed by multiple bloodlines of generational wealth. Some say wealth whispers, but the money these people have is shrieking at you. 
To be honest, you were surprised when Ningning said she wanted to crash this party in particular. She’s a socialite, sure, but preppies weren’t really her crowd. Apparently, this was purely a social experiment from her point of view. Ningning had even gone as far as insisting the two of you dress the part. You were clad in a pleated skirt and striped tank top, whereas Ningning was in a collared Polo dress. It kinda felt like you were at a costume party- and when you think of it that way, the whole ordeal becomes way more fun. That is, until the anxiety kicks in. 
“Ning, my love,” you begin, “How are we supposed to get into this party?” 
Ningning pouts slightly, in that cute way she does, and shrugs. 
“Just walk in?” she says as if it’s the most obvious answer ever. “There’s no bouncer, silly. It’s a yacht party.” 
With that, she swings her hips and begins strutting towards the boat. Effortlessly, she walks into the party, not even batting an eye. You waddle behind her (albeit less gracefully) and instantly lose her in a crowd of gyrating bodies. Music floods your ears, and you call out for your friend- much to no avail. When you finally accept that it’ll be impossible to pin down Ningning for the night, you decide to explore the party by yourself. 
As the night progresses, the party becomes livelier. Actually, it’s like a bunch of little parties happening in various sections of the boat. At some point, you find yourself below deck, where it’s darker, grimier.. The flashing party lights make you feel alive. People start throwing back shots, and the music gets sluttier- recession-pop EDM that’s so shrill it’s painful. However, the feeling of the bass permeating your chest gets your heart pumping and your body moving. Also, considering Ningning is still nowhere to be found, your options for socializing are limited. A part of you loves it; being surrounded by warm bodies covered in a layer of sheen- shimmering as they move in sync and the waves jostle you about. You melt away from your form, feeling entirely free. There’s a reason you like crashing parties: you get to be someone else for the night.
 When you’ve danced enough, you take a seat on a sofa to catch your breath, closing your eyes as you take winded breaths. While your eyes are still closed, you feel the sofa dip beneath you. Finally, Ningning’s back, you think. 
“Ning, can we go? I’m kinda over this ‘Members Of The 1%’ circle jerk…” you joke in an exasperated sigh.
“I think the circle jerk is happening downstairs, if that’s what you’re looking for…” The deepness of the voice that responds startles you, making you sit up and open your eyes. Then, the body attached to the voice silences you. 
You’re enraptured by this man’s beauty- that sweet face of his boring into you with an air of amusement that makes your stomach flip. You vaguely remember seeing him on the makeshift dance floor earlier in the night, but the memory is fuzzy around the edges. You’ve been tipsy (bordering on drunk) for a while now. 
Your face immediately warms up. “Shit… I meant-”
“Here for the birthday party, and not the circle jerk then?” the stranger says, cutting off your stammering. There’s a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth, and his already massive eyes are dilated, indicating that he’s had a drink or two himself.
“Uh. Yeah,” you lie (not very convincingly). 
The man nods, and you mirror him. “Johnny’s the best, isn’t he?” he says.
“Mhm. So happy we’re able to celebrate him today…”
“Yeah…” he trails, looking at you inquisitively. “-but Johnny’s birthday is in February.” 
It’s currently June. Fuck.
You begin to stammer again, wishing you’d sink into the couch beneath you. “Right! I just meant-”
“What are you doing here?” he asks.
“To be honest with you… I don’t know,” you concede.
“Well, for future reference, it’s Taeil’s birthday. Isn’t it, like, Party Crasher 101 to know who the birthday boy is?”
“I’m not really crashing. At least, not in the traditional sense. I’ve been on my best behavior, all things considered.” You’re tipsy, sure, but haven’t caused much harm. Ningning, on the other hand… Lord knows what she’s been up to. She probably has a whole list of new friends at this point. (And has probably swiped a few goodies to sell on Ebay.)
“Well, I am,” the man says.
Oh? you think.
The stranger stretches his hand towards you, gesturing for you to shake it. As you do so, he introduces himself. “Mark. Habitual party crasher.”
“_______. Mediocre, but also habitual, party crasher.”
“Nice to meet you, ______.” You drop your hand from his. After an awkward pause, you stand to leave. “Uh, Where are you going?” Mark asks, panic flooding his features. What’s his deal?
“Off to tell my handler that the jig is up,” you say. When you start to leave again, Mark says, “Wait!” He grasps your hand tightly, shockwaves shooting up your arm from the contact. For a brief moment, you’re enamored. The remnants of the sunset give the room an orange glow and Mark looks golden. His eyes are twinkling.  
However, you snap out of your reverie quickly. When you give Mark a look, one that says “Who the fuck do you think you are?”, he quickly drops your hand from his hold. You snatch your hand away. Now, it’s Mark’s turn to stammer through a blunder.
 “So I was wondering…do you want a tour of the boat?” he asks lamely.
You give him the up-down. He’s in bright orange pants and rugby stripes. A bit dorky, but cute. His brown hair falls into his eyes delicately, making his entire demeanor more… boyish. Even the redness across his cheeks (that’s also spreading to his neck) just makes him seem so inviting. You’re drawn to him like fire- warm, bright and hypnotizing. 
You’re overtaken with the urge to see just how profusely you can make him blush- to see him in his skittish glory at the hands of your teasing. Before you get a chance to act on this, however, Ningning bounds into the room. She’s been swimming, as suggested by her wet hair and swimsuit cover. You notice a new bracelet as well. 
“Babe, they’re about to sing Happy Birthday. Free cake!” Ningning squeals. As she pulls you out of the room, you flash Mark an apologetic look. 
The partygoers gather on the deck, the setting sun shining indigo against deep  water. It’s breathtaking. You could absolutely get used to this. A crowd forms around a table with a birthday cake at the center, and you attempt to scan the area for Mark. 
As people begin to sing (to Taeil, not Johnny), you feel someone sidle up next to you. When you turn to see that it’s Mark, you smile. 
“Hey,” he says. 
You lock eyes with him, heart thumping similarly to when the dance music was coursing through your veins. “Hi.”
Mark rubs his neck with his hand, sheepishly trying to pick up where the two of you left off. “So I was gonna ask-”
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUUU…” the crowd breaks out into song enthusiastically, drowning out Mark’s voice. 
“What?!” you yell, leaning in to listen.
Mark tries to project over the (horrible) singing. “I was saying we should-”
“Huh!?”
Before you realize it, the birthday song has come to a close.
“Do you still want a tour of the boat!?” Mark practically screams. His voice cuts through the sudden silence like a knife. It’s incredibly embarrassing and Mark’s entire face turns bright red.
Taeil looks at the two of you, quirking a brow confusedly. “Um… who are you?” he asks, looking back and forth between you and Mark. 
“Uh… Ningning’s friend.” 
“Mark. Just… Mark.” He’s beet red. 
“Oh. Nice to meet you both,” Taeil says. Everyone resumes the party, firing off confetti and popping some (very expensive) champagne. The music resumes as well, starting back up the party, and you look around to see that Mark has disappeared. Again.
“Gonna try to sneak some cake, then we can head out. Meet back here in 10?” Ningning says. You nod, and make your way to the cabins below deck. You can’t let Mark go.
The first door you open, the room is empty. At the second door you reach, you hear moans, so you immediately run in the opposite direction. The third door you wander to swings open just as you reach for the knob, and out walks the man of the hour, Mark.
“Hey, I’ve been looking for you everywhere,” you say. 
“Do you still wanna-”
“Let’s just chat on the deck. Fuck the tour,” you conclude with a giggle. 
“Sounds good to me. I don’t know my way around anyway.” 
At this, you chuckle, and the two of you walk to a pair of lounge chairs. The moon is out, little fairy lights strewn on the railing making the air feel magical. The breeze is just a little too cool. Mark must notice this, because he takes off his dress shirt and drapes it over your shoulders. 
“Thanks,” you mutter. 
“Do you crash parties often, or is it more of an occasional thing?” Mark asks.
“Relatively often. It’s fun to be someone else for a night sometimes.”
“So the get-up is for fun?”
“Do I look like I wear Polo in my day-to-day life?” you ask. 
Mark chuckles. “I don’t know, dude. You could pass as a preppie.”
You deadpan. “That’s the meanest thing you could’ve ever said to me.”
“I’m kidding. Seriously though, you’re, like, way cooler than anyone else here. I saw you dancing and-”
“You saw that?!” you squeal.
Before responding, Mark stands from his lounge chair to sit next to you. He adjusts the shirt that is still draped over your shoulders, his touch warming you up more than the garment has in the last few minutes. You’re a goner.
For a moment, the two of you bask in each other’s energy, the slight rocking of the boat and sound of crashing waves lulling you into effortless serenity.
“You’re so free.” Mark bores into you again and it’s suffocating. You know nothing about him, yet you’re privy to the lifetimes behind his eyes. Perhaps you’ve been a part of one of them- a message in a bottle finally surfacing on a beach’s shore. You believe in the existence of fate, but only for the night. 
“That’s all I’m saying,” Mark continues.
You shake off the feeling of being so seen, breaking his hypnotizing eye contact. Untangling yourself from his quiet multitudes. 
“What about you? Do you crash parties often?”
“Weddings, usually. Mostly for the cake. Bought a tux for it and everything.”
“A professional. I’m impressed,” you say.
You look out to the water, feeling its breeze envelope you, and a shiver runs through your body.
Mark is bashful again, head dipping slightly as he suggests, “We should crash a party together sometime.”
Your eyes return to him as you say, “For sure.”
“Does that mean I can get your number?” You take Mark’s  phone wordlessly, and enter your number, after which Mark says, “Apparently that Johnny guy is having a rodeo themed party next week… Wanna go?”
“And be mediocre party crashers together? Definitely.”

Very lazy post, but I've had this riddlekid and papa penguin fic stewing in my drafts. I haven't actually gotten to the comfort part lol, but I thought yall might like to read the blurb.
Oswald Cobblepot was having a good night. The toke rate was up, the lounge was full, and he was pleasantly buzzed as usual. Until, of course, something had to come in and wreck his night. Something… someone was swimming toward the floating Iceberg Lounge. Was it a party crasher? Did Bruce Wayne fall off his yacht again? It could be anything, but it was going to ruin his vibe. He sighed, taking the lift down to the bottom of the ship. With a wave of his hand, one of his bouncers fished the soaking wet man out of the bay. The bouncer slung the man over his shoulder, and they ventured back up to the main lounge. The man was dropped onto a chaise. Oswald examined him - a wet green suit weighing him down, a bowler hat perched on his head.
“Eddie,” he sighed, “what happened this time?”
Eddie was in no position to answer him. Instead, a string of unintelligible mumbles fell from his lips. He was shaking like a leaf. Oswald rolled his eyes, dispensing a blanket from under the chaise, wrapping him in it.
“Edward, please, full sentences,” Oswald commanded.
“B-b-b-batman!” was all the Riddler could muster between sobs.
Oswald couldn’t help but feel a pang of pity pull at his heartstrings. The shaking man just looked so helpless. As much as he hated to admit it, he had a soft spot for the fellow rogue. Sure he was annoying, stubborn, and had an ego the size of the Empire State Building, but there was something about him that Oz begrudgingly found charming. And at the moment, he was feeling a twinge of paternal emotion over the pathetic puzzler. Nonetheless, he had no intention of seeming soft in front of his compatriots.
“Pull yourself together, man. We’ve all taken our licks, here.”
Edward continued to cry, this time taking a handful of Oswald’s coat and curling up with it.
“Ozzy, i-it was awful! He broke my new contraption, he broke it!” Eddie yelped.
Oswald let out another deep sigh. This was really getting to him… the poor thing was having a hell of a night. Against his own judgment, he pulled Edward to his feet.
“Let’s go, Eddie,” he declared, leading him into his private office.
