Tumblr media Tumblr media
You and Felix had grown to become good friends and you absolutely loved being around him. He was your new coworker at the café you waited tables at and his sweet face and warm presence made the exhausting job a lot more bearable. 
Despite his shy nature, he opened up to you, and you found it so adorable the way he would look away every time you caught him staring at you and how he would stutter whenever you got a bit too close to him. You adored every single one of his little habits, his beautiful freckles and his ability to bring sunshine everywhere he went.
The two of you had quite a lot of fun hanging out together, even if it was to do something as simple as playing video games or baking brownies together. Today was just another day he had invited you over to watch a movie at his place.
You arrive at his apartment and ring the doorbell. Before you know it the door swings open revealing Felix greeting you with a lovely smile painting his face, clearly showing how excited he was to see you.
“Hey. Did I make you wait long?” You ask him, feeling slightly guilty after realizing you were thirty minutes late to your movie night.
“Oh no. I just got done making cookies. Come on in.”  He answers in a soft voice and moves aside, allowing you to enter his home. 
As soon as you step into his kitchen, the rich smell of freshly baked butter cookies mixed with the familiar sweet scent of Felix's apartment fills your nostrils. He quickly grabs the bowl of cookies from the kitchen counter and leads you towards his bedroom while you follow close behind.
“Make yourself comfortable.” He tells you as he makes his way to his bed and plops down onto the soft mattress, his back leaning against the headboard. You come up and sit down with your legs crossed just beside him, your eyes involuntarily shifting from his face to the sweet treats.
“You can try them.” He offers with his shy tone as he pushes the bowl in front of you.
You reach out your hand and grab one of the heart shaped cookies and take a bite out of it, the sugary taste instantly seeping into your taste buds.
“Felix, this is so good. Did your baking get even better or something?”
He breaks into his usual smile, flustered by your compliment. “I'm glad you liked them.”
“Here, you try.” You hold up the bitten cookie in front of his face, offering it to him.
“Oh no, it's fine. I made these just for you.” He refuses and reaches for the tv remote to play the movie you two were supposed to watch tonight.
“Yeah but, you deserve to enjoy your own baking sometimes.” You say as you bring the treat closer to his mouth, the edge of the cookie almost touching his lips.
Felix realizes he has no choice but to give in so he opens his mouth and takes a bite, his eyes looking down and cheeks blushed red as you feed him.
“It's good.” His voice comes out muffled and his cheek swells as he chews. He immediately covers his mouth with his hand and you think it's the most adorable thing in the world.
“You're so cute.” You let out a giggle and use your free hand to gently ruffle his soft blonde hair as he leans into your comforting touch.
You slowly pull your hand back and turn to face the tv while he presses play on the remote and the movie finally starts.
A few minutes pass and you find yourself completely absorbed into the film, your eyes focused on the screen. However, from the corner of your eye you notice Felix was not interested in the movie. You feel his gaze was instead fixed on you, his eyes carefully tracing the features on your face.
You glance at him only for a second and he instantly looks away, his eyes moving to the tv. He did this a lot when you two were together, but you never thought anything of it. Maybe he was just too shy to say something, so you shift your attention back to the screen.
A couple moments later you feel the same gaze laying on you again, but this time his eyes travel further down, stopping at your chest. You were not wearing a bra and it was quite chilly in his room so you knew exactly what he was staring at.
You decide to finally confront him, “Hey Felix, can I ask you something?” 
He looks up at you pretending as if he didn't know what you just caught him doing. “Yeah sure.” 
“Have you ever had sex?” Your question almost causes him to choke on his breath in shock.
“Um…no.” He answers with hesitation, taken aback by the unexpected question.
“Have you ever kissed anyone?”
He pauses for a while before replying in a quieter voice, “No.” and you can't help but laugh a little.
You tilt your head, a smirk finding its way to your lips. “Can I kiss you?”
The same red flush paints his freckled cheeks and he almost mindlessly nods his head as if he's wanted to do this forever.
“I need to hear you say it baby.” Your tone softens. 
“Yes.” his lips part slightly before he speaks and that's all it takes for you.
You shift your weight closer to Felix on the bed till his face is just a few inches away from yours. His breath hitches and you can tell he's nervous. “It's okay, just relax.” 
You close your eyes and bring your lips towards his, moulding them together. You kiss him slowly and carefully and his breathing steadies as he becomes familiar with the way his lips fit against your own. 
You bring your hands up to grab the sides of his face in an attempt to deepen the kiss and can't help but smile into it feeling his lips trying hard to keep up with yours. You push your tongue inside his hot mouth, and it coats with his sweet taste and spit as the kiss gets sloppier.
He abruptly pulls away from the kiss, his eyes still closed as he catches his breath. So you take the opportunity to climb into his lap, your knees on either side of his hips, caging him beneath you as his back hits the headboard.
You can feel the faint outline of his hard cock on your pussy through the layers of fabric and the sudden contact makes Felix gasp. 
He looks up at you and you bury your face in the crook of his neck, littering his skin with small kisses. Your lips stop just to harshly suck on a certain spot on his neck, determined to leave a red mark.
“Ugh…” he whimpers, a complete mess under you.
You pull away from his neck and your fingers grip the hem of his shirt, your eyes looking into his asking for permission to take it off. He immediately lifts his arms up and you remove the piece of clothing, tossing it to the side and scanning his bare body with your eyes.
“Can I touch you?” He builds up the courage to ask.
“Of course.”
Felix slowly brings up his right hand and cups your breast, kneading the soft flesh through your dress with his dainty fingers. His middle finger lightly brushes against your hard nipple and you bite your lower lip, feeling a wet patch form on the fabric of your underwear.
“Take this off.” You whisper.
He takes his hand off your chest and his fingertips curl around the edge of your dress and he pulls it off of you, leaving you in just your panties. Felix's doe eyes widen at the sight of your naked body in front of him and you feel his dick twitch against your wet cunt.
“You're so pretty.” His eyes come up to meet yours as he praises you.
“Thank you Lix.” You say with a smile.
Before you know it, his warm mouth latches onto your right nipple, his swollen lips gently sucking on it while his eyes shut close. He swirls his wet tongue around the hardened bud, occasionally rubbing his sharp teeth on it while his fingers play with your other nipple.
“F-fuck.” Your voice comes out shaky as pleasure shoots through your veins. Your head jerks back, mouth falling open as Felix continues lapping at your tit, covering your cold skin with his warm spit.
Without thinking, you grind your hips against his clothed bulge, your aching pussy clenching around nothing in your soaking underwear. The sensation makes him roll his hips up, wanting to feel the friction again and he takes his mouth off your breast.
“I wanna be inside you.” He begs, desperate for relief as he stares into your eyes. His pathetic voice and the fucked out expression on his face makes you want to tease him a bit more.
"You're so needy." You say as you use your fingers to tug at the waistband of his sweatpants and lower it till you see the leaking tip of his cock poking through the fabric of his underwear. You quickly pull down his boxers and his dick springs out, the pink tip glistening as precum drips down his slit.
You start dragging your clothed pussy along the length of his erection in slow, swift movements, your back arching whenever his tip grazes against your throbbing clit. 
“Please…it hurts.” He whines as he holds your hips, pleading to fuck you.
“You wanna put it in?” You stop moving your hips and ask him.
“Mhm.” he cries and you finally give him exactly what he wants. You pull your soaking panties to the side and slowly sink down on his cock, your slick making it easier for him to slide his entire length into you. 
“S-shit.” You curse under your breath, your mind going hazy as he fills you up.
“Ugh…you're so warm.” Felix mutters as your gummy walls clench around the base of his dick, sucking him deeper inside you.
You start bouncing up and down his cock at a steady pace, your pussy fluttering as he slides in and out of you. The heat in your abdomen gradually increases and spreads through your entire body as you fuck yourself on his cock, sighing every time you feel his tip kiss your cervix.
“Am I making you feel good, baby?” You ask him.
“S-so good.” He murmurs squirming beneath you, his eyes half lidded from the overwhelming sensation as soft moans escape his throat. 
You quicken your pace and Felix lets out a deep groan, head falling back and fingernails digging into the skin of your hips. He wraps his arms around your waist, pulling you closer and hides his face in your neck. 
Without warning, he begins thrusting his hips upwards into you, the tip of his dick repeatedly hitting a particularly soft spot in your belly.
“Ah- fuck!” You shriek as he pounds into your pussy, your mind foggy and incapable of forming any coherent thought. The knot building up in your stomach tightens and your body goes limp as the stinging pain turns into nothing but pleasure.
“I'm sorry, ah- you feel ugh- so good.” He whimpers right next to your ear as he speeds up, thrusting even faster.
“God! Lix- don't stop!” You cry out loud, eyes turning glassy and rolling to the back of your head.
“Mm… gonna cum!” Felix whines and moans into your ear uncontrollably as he chases his high, holding on to you even tighter.
His cock twitches in your dripping cunt and this makes your walls clench even tighter around him as he continues fucking you. Your eyes scrunch close and you lose your mind, feeling your anticipated orgasm approach.
“I'm gonna-” he begins to talk but fails as he cums hard inside you. You feel the thick, warm liquid fill you up, painting your walls white.
“Ah!” You moan as the sensation sends you over the edge. Your back arches as you meet your own climax, your juices dripping down his shaft mixed with his cum.
His thrusts become slower as he rides out his high, his breathing hot and heavy. The fog in your brain starts to clear up and your body relaxes in his lap, head resting on his shoulder.
“Thank you.” Felix whispers in your ear as he stops moving his hips, his cock still inside you.
“Anytime baby.”

Belle x reader x Wise
Headcannons
Shut the fuck up I know it hasn't even been a day! Let me like the two main characters in peace.
Tumblr media
Most days the job of Proxy is quite boring. On days like these when there are no commissions and no hollows So all they could do is sit in the video store staring at the door waiting for a customer to come, rent a movie, or a video game. Today it was Belle's turn as their bangboos take the day to charge and while Wise is in the back managing stock at the same time glimpsing at online forms for commissions. However this boring day would take a turn when you walk in to the store. Her eyes light up seeing a familiar face. Shouting your name as she practically tackled you on a hug.
You had no idea about their job as a proxy You were just thought they The cute store managers of the video store that you frequent.
Belle
She tends to be a little clingy with you, she's not afraid to tell you what she wants but with you she finds it difficult to voice her feelings. Then whenever she does she has a bad habit of playing it off as a joke. She doesn't know why she acts like this around you. She knows she cares a lot about you and she knows she loves you she's just having trouble saying it out loud.
For now she's contented with just being by your side (And she doesn't mind getting into people's way when she feels that they are threatening to take you away from her) She knows this feeling of jealousy and possessiveness isn't healthy. But she swears up and down it's just temporary that she will find a way to fully express her feelings to you at some point.
Please play games with her, if you don't play Minecraft with her she will cry. If you want to come to the arcade with her she will definitely join She just wants to play a game with you any game, can even be monopoly.
HER BROTHER IS A BASTARD!!! She had no idea her nasty ass brother sent you a picture of an ugly selfie she sent him!! Only found it out when it became your lock screen. She screamed!!! You said it was cute but if she wanted you to delete it then you would She declined but Wise better sleep with one eye open tonight She knows her brother likes you too, And if he's doing this shit then two can play at that game!
Wise
Trying to be cool around you, He wants you to see him as someone you can trust and lean on for protection. He is quite possessive, overprotective as well. He tries to explain that he's like that to everyone but to be honest not to the extent he is with you. He was the one that suggested to Belle never to reveal their identity as a Proxy to you for your protection. Wise seems to decide what's best for you without consoling or asking you first.
Wise is very inexperienced when it comes to dating any tends to overthink on every little motion you do. From your small smiles to your hair twirls those little things you do have him up at night.
He's not as talkative or as touchy as his sister but he has his quirks, like in the middle of the night sending you pictures or memes with no contacts at all before disappearing for a few hours. He'd rather hang out with you in person then on the phone or online. His favorite are watching movies with you. Whether in the theater or at home. Horror movies so you can cling to him when you're scared, sad romantic movies so he could wipe your pretty tears, anything.
HIS SISTER IS AN ANNOYING LITTLE FUCK. Don't give me wrong he loves her but sometimes he wishes he was an only child. trying to tell you and show you embarrassing moments from their childhood.

Magic Euros I
Leah Williamson x Wife!Reader
Magic Euros II
summary~ Leah Williamson, England Captain, your wife and the mother of your children managed to balance her private and work life. You thought you couldn’t be prouder but now she’d won the home Euros.
Tumblr media
Knowing Leah she, was going into the Euros with a winners mindset, one that no one could destroy. She worked hard to get where she is and she isn’t gonna let this chance slip through her fingers. This is Englands Euros. This Euros is the Lionesses’s.
When you and your wife got together she had just joined Englands senior team. She had always been a confident player but those first few months playing for England were rough. Her confidence was low, she didn’t get any minutes. The team was suffering and she didn’t get the chance to help out.
At Arsenal she was at her place. She played had in red for her whole senior career. Every time she got to wear that badge she wore it with pride. No one could stop her in the Arsenal colours. She loved her teammates, the club and everything around it. Arsenal was Leah’s whole heart, until you arrived. Leah was infatuated by you.
Leah and you had met at a party that her then dutch teammates held. Jill, Viv and Daan introduced the two of you to each other when they saw Leah staring at you from across the room. “Leah, this is y/n. Y/n this is Leah.” Daan had said.
You lived in England but knew the other girls from working in the football industry back in the Netherlands. When Viv moved to England and told you about the opportunities there and how the women’s game was growing you had to see it yourself.
Leah charmed her way into your life. She flirted with you throughout the whole night and eventually won your number. When everyone had gone home you stayed behind to help your friends clean up. “En wat vond je van Leah?” (And what did you think of Leah?) Jill asked curiously. “Ja, ze is wel leuk.” (Yeah, she’s nice) you answered blushing at the thought of the blonde. “Leah vind jou ook zeker wel ‘leuk’.” (Leah definitely thinks you’re ‘nice’ too) Daan laughed.
The girls invited you to the games they played and you turned up, every time. After a bit of teasing and convincing of her teammates Leah asked you out. And from one date came another and that’s how you eventually got into a relationship, moved in together and got married.
You and Leah had discussed the options of having children and started a family after a few years of dating. Both England and Arsenal were doing good and your wife was in her prime time.
When your baby boy was born her eyes were full of tears, she couldn’t believe the both of you had a little family now.
Your son, James, was a few months old and you were about four months pregnant when Leah had to go for England camp. She had been talking about the Euros for months now. When Sarina had told her she’d captain her country she couldn’t hold in her tears anymore. Playing for England was a dream, captaining England was.. marvellous.

Leah had found it hard leaving you behind, now even more so, pregnant and with a little baby to take care of. Leah had called her mom to help you out. She knew you would want to do everything alone and without help but you needed help and that was okay.
Leah texted you the moment she arrived and called you whenever she could. She got her own room, perks of being the captain, and got to face time you almost every evening.
“Hi baby, how are you and the kids?” she asked looking at you through her screen. “Hey Lee, they’re good, Jamie is asleep and your other baby is very active.” you laughed tiredly. Leah knew you had your hands full, that was why she asked her mom to look after you. Amanda tried to and she helped with James but the pregnancy was hard and more intense than when you were pregnant with James.
You asked Leah about the girls and how they were doing when her door swung open and a hyper active Georgia was jumping on Leah’s bed. “Ooooehh got your wifey on the phone. How’re you doing? How’s little Jamie?” Georgia asked excited while your wife rolled her eyes at her. You laughed at the both of them, “Hi Gee, Jamie’s sleeping and just misses his mommy and aunties.”.
You had brought James to England camp a couple of times. The girls adored him, especially G, Keira and Luce. When Leah had time off, the both of you and James had flew to Barcelona to see Kei and Lucy. It wasn’t long before Lucy had stolen your kid. James was amazed by Lucy, she was so good with kids.

The opening game of the Euros was held in the Old Trafford stadium, England against Austria. You knew Leah was nervous, she always was even though she would never admit that. But being a captain made it even more nervewrecking.
You sat in the family and friends section of the stadium, wearing one of Leah’s jerseys. She loved it when you wore those, the Williamson name on your back matching both her and your lastname. You even got James in a little England kit with mommy on the back of it.
When Leah walked out of the tunnel, leading the rest of the team with her rainbow captain armband on, you couldn’t be prouder.
The girls had won the game by one goal and got the next day off. Leah had gone home to spend some much needed time with you and your son.
Your own little family was laying on the couch when you felt a kick. Leah was resting her head on your chest, your son in her lap when she heard you gasp. “Babe, what’s wrong?” she asked slightly panicked. Taking her hand and putting it on your belly she felt it. “She’s gonna be a footballer, just like her mommy.” Leah whispered. You raised your eyebrow at her, “How do you know she’s a she hmm?”. Leah looked up and gave you a little smirk “I just know baby.”.
Your wife had to go back in the evening after laying your son in bed.
The weeks went by quickly, Leah got busier by the day but even then she made time for you. After every game she headed straight to you, she could celebrate after with her teammates.
Things got extremely stressful when England reached the Semi-Final against Sweden. But Leah had the right mindset and got the team to play their best. With four goals, Mead, Bronze, Russo and Kirby all scored, they were onto the big final. The final against Germany.
This time Leah had no time off but you got to visit her at camp. With James and a round belly you drove to St. George’s Park.
y/nwilliamson posted on their story
Tumblr media
When you walked through the big doors of St. George’s Park you were greeted by a bunch of the England girls. Georgia practically launched herself at you, well, at James. You handed the boy over to Georgia and saw Leah. “You’re here baby!” she walked over to you, holding her arms out. You hugged her and she gave you a kiss on your forehead. “I missed you so much Lee” you whispered into the crook of her neck. “I missed you too.” your wife told you.
Leah eventually got to hold her own son too after she told Georgia off. “I can have him too Gee, he’s my kid.” she scolded the midfielder. Georgia groaned and handed a giggling James over.
You got some time to catch up with a few of the other girls. Most of them told you about how Leah would show them all the pictures of you and James she had and how she’d talk about you nonstop. You talked with Jill and she said that she wanted to start a coffee shop after the Euros and that she probably wants to present football matches and stuff like that. It suited her, she was funny and made for it. You promised to ask around for her and to visit her in Manchester sometime.
The Final was the day you dreaded.
The stadium was absolutely packed with fans, their cheers echoing through the big Wembley stadium. This was the day Leah dreamed of. This was it, the Euros final at home. England against Germany.
Leah walked her team out, just like every other game. The pride armband around her bicep leading her team onto the pitch.
After the National Anthems Leah had a little talk with the team and everyone got ready. The whistle blew and the game began.
As the match progressed, the tension kept building. Germany had scored in the first fifteen minutes, England scored not long after. The score was one to one, with both teams fighting tooth and nail for every goal. The atmosphere was electric, you couldn't help but feel your heart racing with every pass.
When Alessia Russo scored the second goal for England in the 67th minutes the crowd went wild but there was still all to play for. A few minutes later, in the 73th minute Germany scored making it equal again.
Then, in the final moments of the game, when it seemed like a draw was inevitable, something truly unbelievable happened. Leah Williamson, the fearless captain and your wife made a clean tackle that changed the whole game. She got up, dribbled with the ball and with her precise vision and skill, Leah delivered a jaw-dropping assist.
The ball sailed through the air, finding one of her bestfriends. You held your breath as you watched the ball hit the back of the net. This was it, England had won the Euros.
You looked down at your son and realised that they had defeated Germany, in front of their home crowd. This was something magical, it was pure ecstasy.
Your wife sunk to her knees. She had done it. Wiping the tears from her eyes she walked towards her teammates.
She couldn’t celebrate long before she was pulled into an interview. “Leah Williamson, England Captain and European Champion, how do you feel?” the interviewer asked her. She took the microphone and responded, “This is the proudest day of my life, after the birth of my children i suppose.” she beamed. “Excuse me but i have to get to my wife and baby.” Leah excused herself, searching for you.
When she found you waiting in the stand she stood up on her toes and kissed you and James. “You did it baby, you brought it home.” you whisper yelled.
After celebrating the big win you went on a vacation with Georgia, Lucy and Keira. They offered to babysit Jamie whenever the two of you wanted to go out.

When the whole Euros thing had settled in you were almost nine months pregnant and James was almost one year old. Leah had already gone back to Club football where they played amazing too.
It got harder and harder to do things on your own so it was very helpful that the Arsenal girls helped you out whenever they could. Katie, Viv and Beth loved to babysit which really helped you a lot.
When Katie came over to pick the boy up because you and Leah wanted to have one last date night before the other kid arrived, your water broke. I guess this was it, you wouldn’t get another date night until she was atleast a few months old. A stubborn child, just like her mommy. Leah took you to the hospital while Katie took care of little Jamie.
Your baby girl, just like Leah had told you, was very determined and arrived almost immediately in the hospital. “Told you she was a girl.” Leah smirked while holding her. You rolled your eyes and the door opened, revealing two Arsenal strikers. Viv drove the two of them to the hospital as soon as she heard.
“Is she born already?” Beth asked curiously. Leah told her no, “Ha ha, very funny.” Beth said sarcastically while Viv grinned at Leah’s joke. Leah handed the little girl over to Viv who smiled at her. “Her name’s Alice.” you told them.
Alice was just like her big brother, a hand full. They caused trouble on and off the field. Alice tried to kick balls before she could even walk and James ran around the field chasing your wife’s teammates. Katie loved Alice just like she loved James, you were sure she was the one making them act naughty.
When the team travelled to Germany you got to go with them. Katie and Victoria even offered to babysit them so Leah and you had a little alone time away from the kids and the team.
Katie and Vic got Jamie to put his middle finger up and he thought it was funny since they laughed at it. And since his little sister wanted to be just like him she mimicked the action. Vic called Kyra over who was laughing hysterically at the two naughty kids that got told off by Viv. “You shouldn’t do that, that’s very bad!” Viv tried to scold them but failed to hold her laugh in.
But that wasn’t the end of their bad influence. Katie got Alice to pull some pranks on the other girls. They would blame Katie but they won’t blame a sweet kid like Alice right.
The Irish woman sent Alice on a mission to bring all the football boots she could find to her. Katie tied them all together and they hid them together.
It wasn’t long before the next training session was and the angry teammates came after Katie. “It was Alice! I didn’t do anything!” she defended herself. Kim looked at Alice who acted like she knew of nothing. “Did you tie all the shoes together Al?” she asked the girl. Alice shook her head and pointed to Katie who had already started to run away.

The camp was perfect, a little getaway with your loved ones. The Arsenal staff had all kinds of things planned and most of them were child friendly so the kids got to go with the team.

When the awards came around, Leah was invited to almost every one of the events and even won a few. Sometimes she got to bring your kids with. It was hard to keep them quiet and keep them from running around but the England girls helped you out.
When Leah won SPOTY both James and Alice escaped out of your and Viv’s grasp and ran over to their mom. You walked over to your wife, apologised to the laughing room and took both of them off the stage with a red face.

Lucy and Keira came to visit you in London when they had a weekend off. They told you they wanted to see you again but you all knew they’d probably end up giving all their attention to your kids anyway. And just like you expected, Lucy was passed out with James on the couch and Keira was playing football with Alice in your backyard.
The day after they took the kids to the park and to a little farm not far away. Both the kids and the Barcelona players were tired and almost immediately fell asleep after their intense day away.

@2flowerz NOW I CAN POST THEM LOL HERE'S ED TO START WITH
PERVY OLD VAMPIRE IS AN ABSOLUTE GOOBER. . .he's also very very tired. But he has a very nice reaper taking care of him and a friendly dog that wants him to go outside more, so he has people who love and care for him even though he's. . .a little troublesome haha.
also I changed the format from previous posts and added the specific times and seasons and such for each dialogue! this should help lessen some confusion about how to get them.
Hello: (the first time the game is opened after that character is set as home screen NPC. Only happens once per day, unless the character is switched out and back.)
"Ah, there you are. I've a favor to ask of you— come to my room and I'll explain."
You've Got Mail: (whenever there's something in the inbox, usually Arena rewards)
"Oh? It appears we have some letters. Alas, my eyesight is not what it used to be. Read them out to me, would you?"
well maybe if you didn't stare at your tablet all day. . . .
Default: (requires no affinity, has no time constraints)
"I have much to learn about the human world... Rui is teaching me a lot, but I cannot seem to divorce myself of careless blunders."
y'know, it's good he's trying to learn anyway. 400 years old is never too late.
"What did I do before Darkwick? I eked out a humble existence in Eastern Europe. Hm? The most powerful vampire? No, those are just rumors. "
didn't you confirm it yourself in the main story though--also if he was living in eastern europe for the past 400-ish years i wonder if he saw lyca when he was young, even if in passing? then again eastern europe isn't exactly small.
"I was taken by a sudden whim to travel abroad. I had heard good things about Japan so I came over to play, but alas, I was captured."
so he went to japan just to have a nice time for a while but the Institute decided to keep him trapped in Darkwick. . .and then they didn't listen to any warnings or concerns he had. . .no wonder he doesn't give a shit what's going on around here, why would he? They abducted him while he was on vacation--and for what?
"I have no interest in harming humans. After all, they die so quickly. They should enjoy their short lives while they can."
"(cough cough) Oh, it's you... I'm feeling worse than usual today. I don't suppose you could carry me to bed?"
Affinity 1: (between 5am and 11am)
"(yawn) Good morning... What time is it? ...Still that early? Wake me up again at midday, would you?"
honestly Ed? Mood.
Affinity 2: (between 11am and 4pm)
"If this is about a mission, I can't help you, I'm afraid. I leave such day-to-day duties to Rui, so I suggest you ask him instead."
Affinity 3: (between 4pm and 8pm)
"I'm more or less confined to this house most days, for various reasons. I'm on my best behavior. But I'll do what I can to support you from the sidelines."
y'know, he's offering to help a little even at Affinity 3 and that counts for something in my book.
Affinity 4: (between 8pm and 5am)
"My favorite channel should be posting a new video at any moment... Sorry, but could we continue this tomorrow?"
you have not yet reached the stage of friendliness where you're more important than a youtube video lmao
Affinity 5: (between 8pm and 5am)
"I don't suppose you know where Rui is? How troubling... My YouTube video has stopped playing..."
well at this hour i'd check either the bar or his room???
Affinity 6: (between 4pm and 8pm)
"Oh, it hurts... I cannot seem to shake this ache in the place Rui touched me earlier... I think I'll rest a while."
so it seems like either his limbs pop off/part of him breaks open when Rui touches him, or he suffers a great deal of pain for an extended period of time, maybe his body actively fighting extremely rapid necrosis? Rui did say that he basically insta-kills anyone who isn't super strong, so Ed being in excruciating pain instead of dying or losing a limb now and then makes sense.
Affinity 7: (between 11am and 4pm)
"I can't survive much sunlight. Without my parasol, I can barely go outside... (sigh) It really is quite punishing..."
Affinity 8: (between 4pm and 8pm)
"Sounds like Lyca's having fun, from all that yapping. I think it's good for him to develop some temporary bonds with humans at this time in his life."
Affinity 9: (between 8pm and 5am)
"I felt the urge to go stargazing, so I went to a hill nearby, but Towa was there already and he chased me away."
TOWA STOP BEING MEAN HE actually he probably would have bothered you and if he smells like a corpse to you that would have been annoying even if he didn't talk to you BUT STILL DON'T BE MEAN.
Affinity 10: (between 10pm and midnight)
"You ought to be getting ready for bed. Me? Oh, I'll turn in soon... Just one more YouTube video."
Affinity 11: (between 5am and 11am)
"Are you going for a walk? Take care not to spend too long in the garden. Humans are rather susceptible to the miasma there."
WE NEVER DID LEARN ABOUT THE MIASMA. WHAT'S UP WITH THE MIASMA WHY'S THE AIR IN OBSCUARY FUNKY.
Affinity 12: (between 11am and 4pm)
"Do you realize that human society is controlled by a shady cabal of elites? There are many videos about it on YouTube."
I AM ONCE AGAIN ASKING FOR HIS LAPTOP TO BE TAKEN AWAY OR TIME ON IT RESTRICTED. . .HE'S INTO CONSPIRACY THEORY YOUTUBERS HE'S GONE TOO FAR DOWN THE RABBITHOLE
Affinity 13: (between 4pm and 8pm)
"The ghouls are rioting again? Ah ha ha ha, they certainly are full of energy. If you'll excuse me, I was in the middle of a YouTube video."
he simply does NOT GIVE A FUCK lmao the ghouls could be dying out there and he'd probably shrug it off. Maybe keep an eye on things with his sixth sense or have some bats watch. Maybe that's part of why so many ghouls dislike him? he doesn't have any concerns for their plights and problems?
Affinity 14: (between 5am and 11am)
"How strange... I can't find my other sock. I could have sworn I put it here... Have you seen it?"
Affinity 15: (between 5am and 11am)
"Lyca made a mess again? Ah ha ha ha. Try not to judge him too harshly—he's not human, after all."
i think even for non-humans there's some cleanliness to be strived for. . .even pigs are pretty clean animals from what I hear. . . .
Affinity 16: (between 11am and 4pm)
"Rui? Is my lunch ready yet? ...Oh, it's you. You wouldn't happen to be feeling heartsore, would you?"
he's asking if you're sad because he feeds off of tears more than blood. . . . .he wanted to see if you'd cry for him. . . . . . .wait how does Rui usually go about doing this!? Does he cry every day for him???
Affinity 17: (between 10pm and midnight)
"Rui has his tavern work at this hour. He made sure I had everything I needed before he left, though."
ed's all cozy in bed with a nice bottle of tears and his fully charged tablet, all the dirty laundry's off his floor and everything--and now you're here! everything is perfect.
Affinity 18: (between 8pm and 5am)
"Has night fallen already? Do keep in mind that my vitality returns at this hour. You really should be more careful."
i'm kinda getting Taiga vibes here where as his affinity goes up he kind of clearly wants to eat you more, except where Taiga kinda tried to keep away from doing it until Affinity 24 where he snaps and ties you down and starts hurting you, Ed just starts warning you 'you're in danger being around me right now' lol. When he tells you to be careful he makes the sadist face, so he is telling you to be careful around him specifically. . . .
Affinity 19: (between 10pm and midnight)
"You can't sleep? Come, close your eyes. I'll hold you in my arms until you surrender yourself to the land of slumber."
isn't Ed's skin cold. . .I feel like it may be hard to sleep like that for most people lol then again maybe he'd be perfect for temperature regulation?
Affinity 20: (between 5am and 11am)
"Ah, thank you for coming so early. I slept even worse than usual last night... The cleaning can wait. Let me rest my head on your lap, would you?"
'the cleaning can wait' huh. . .is this another Jin situation where he's started to expect you to clean up his room all the time lmao I MEAN RUI ONLY CLEANS IT ONCE A MONTH SO A LITTLE SUPPLEMENTARY CLEANING WOULDN'T HURT. . . .
Affinity 21: (between 11am and 4pm)
"How are you finding Obscuary? Anomalies live quite differently to humans, so you're adapting to it remarkably well... Perhaps you're predisposed?"
'hey i know you're probably scared about becoming an anomaly that will harm your loved ones and all but you may already be showing signs so you should just stop worrying and join us!' also do they really live so differently. . .so far the main difference is cleanliness lmao
Affinity 22: (between 4pm and 8pm)
"My, where did the time go? Talking to you is just so relaxing. Why? Perhaps it's because I know I could feast upon you at any moment."
in Japanese he says something like "The sense of security of being able to strike at any moment"--he's saying he could bite you and you're so comfortable with him you wouldn't even put up a fight before he could do it. He's making his 'sadist' face, but I think he means it in a 'you're relaxed around me, and it makes me feel comfortable to' way. . . .or not. He could just mean that he appreciates you as easy prey 8D
Affinity 23: (between 8pm and 5am)
"Really. You became embroiled in another petty human dispute? How absurd you humans are. Come here."
he feels so bad for you and always getting involved in some shit. . .you know you wouldn't have to do any of this if you abandoned your humanity and just became an anomaly?
Affinity 24: (between 10pm and midnight)
"So, you've come sneaking into my room in the middle of the night? You really are a wicked girl. What were you hoping for? Go on, say it."
Do you want him to feed off of you? Or do you want him to feast upon you? Or were you just that starved for his company? I feel like he's willing to put aside his tablet for you at this point, especially if you're coming into his window late at night for a little tryst.
Affinity 25(max): (no time constraints)
"Being with you brings up old, old memories... Perhaps it's because you remind me a little of her."
well he is hundreds of years old, so of course he had lovers in the past. . .I wonder if she was also mortal, and if he refuses to see humans and anomalies as compatible because of heartbreak. Or maybe he doesn't get heartbroken like some humans do, and it's just nostalgia. But for someone who struggles to remember things sometimes to have old memories stirred up, I think that's a good thing. He must feel quite old at this point, but having someone around who reminds him of being even a little younger must be nice, even if he doesn't think it will last. . .then again maybe that's part of why he seems like he encourages you to become an anomaly in his character stories. Because he'll get to have you around for longer.
Spring: (March-May) (between 5am and 11am)
"The plants in our garden become rather lively in the spring. See? There's a little cannibalism going on over there."
(between 11am and 4pm)
"My favorite channels have been updating more frequently than usual of late. I suppose humans really do experience spring fever."
(between 4pm and 8pm)
"(yawn) I look more tired than usual? Must be the spring weather... Goodnight."
(between 8pm and 5am)
"Cherry blossoms are fascinating organisms. Born carrying the stench of death and falling all too soon... Just like humans, really."
i don't think most humans smell like death(unless we're referencing the poem about sakura trees having corpses beneath them to make the petals pink again) but go off i guess--also it makes it seem like he wishes humans lived longer? funny thing for a guy who thinks humans aren't compatible to say.
Summer: (June-August) (between 5am and 11am)
"Obscuary is lovely in summer. It's so dark and cool, with a lovely miasma breeze. I've no desire to step outside its confines."
honestly living in eternal night during the summer doesn't sound bad aside from all the bugs. but the tentacle plant in the garden probably keeps most of them away, so. . .obscuary in summer sounds lovely.
(between 11am and 4pm)
"How the sun mocks me... Vampires across the nation are advised to avoid going outdoors unless absolutely necessary."
(between 4pm and 8pm)
"It was so hot this morning that Rui was walking around after his shower in just a towel. A sight for sore eyes, I must say."
HAPPY PRIDE MONTH HE IS BISEXUAL. in Japanese he says that Rui was walking around soaking wet and that he's incredibly handsome but doesn't mention the towel--so Rui may have been wet and bare naked walking around Obscuary. . . .
(between 8pm and 5am)
"My air-conditioner? I believe I have it set to 64 degrees. Hm? You're cold? Humans truly are such fragile creatures."
that is almost 18 degrees celcius for the non-americans! it's not that cold imo but it's definitely a little chillier than most people like their personal space.
Autumn: (September-November) (between 5am and 11am)
"Humans take extra delight in their meals during the harvest season, do they? Interesting. Perhaps I'll follow suit."
lap up your tears nice and slow and sensual--
(between 11am and 4pm)
"The stamina and physical strength of a vampire is dozens of times that of a human. We don't need to work ou— (cough) (wheeze)"
YOU GOOD BUDDY YOU STARTED COUGHING WITHOUT EVEN MOVING i mean i get it i have asthma but still--
(between 4pm and 8pm)
"Ah, the curtain of night closes. Now that the days are becoming shorter, my physical and mental health have much improved."
does that mean you don't need help getting dressed for a while--
(between 8pm and 5am)
"How beautiful the moon looks tonight. Its light is such a comfort to us non-humans. You look rather lovely bathed in it too."
Winter: (December-February) (between 5am and 11am)
"(sigh) Even in the dead of winter, Lyca is so full of energy in the mornings... Just try to imagine waking to him barking in your ear."
that explains why you lock him out of your room lmaoooo
(between 11am and 4pm)
"What do you think of my dressing gown? Rui made it for me. It's surprisingly warm."
MOM RUI STRIKES AGAIN MAKING HIS BOY COZY CLOTHES FOR THE WINTER
(between 4pm and 8pm)
"(cough cough) I only took a few steps outside, yet I felt as though my heart froze over... It's best not to leave one's room on days like this."
(between 8pm and 5am)
"They say that on cold nights like this, humans long for the warmth of another. Well? Shall I provide it for you?"
DO YOU POSSESS THE WARMTH OF ANOTHER SIR I RECALL YOUR SKIN BEING DESCRIBED AS COLD
His birthday: (November 10th)
"Having you celebrate my birthday makes all these long years of life worth it. How old am I? A gentleman doesn't tell."
given your estimate was 'idk 400 i stopped counting around 300' i think it's less you won't tell and more you can't tell lmaoooo
Your birthday:
"It's your birthday, is it? I'll have to give you a present. What do you want? Go on, tell me."
New Years: (January 1st)
"Happy New Year. I heard it's a tradition in this country to impart small monetary gifts. Here, for you."
OTOSHIDAMA GET!!!!
Valentine's Day: (February 14th)
"My, is this for me? I'm touched. I don't usually partake of human food, but I suppose I'll make an exception."
it's about the symbolism! it's the principle of the thing, even if the chocolate tastes bland to your vampire taste buds!
White Day: (March 14th)
"It seems that today those who received chocolates on Valentine's Day are supposed to return the favor. What a conscientious country this is..."
yeah but what'd you get them tho--
April Fool's Day: (April 1st)
"Oh, I'm burning up... I'm not long for this world... Won't you grant me one last request? ...No need to make that face. I'm joking, of course."
Halloween: (October 31st)
"Trick or treat. I'm a real vampire, you know. Give me your blood, or I'll play a trick on you."
probably the only time he's directly stated wanting to drink your blood lol
Christmas: (December 25th)
"Merry Christmas. Rather amusing for a vampire to celebrate a holy day, don't you think? Let's fill tonight with magic and wonder."
Idle: (about 20 seconds without interacting with the game) (below 13 affinity)
"I'm going to lie down a while. If you need something, ask Rui."
(13 affinity and above)
"Hello? Oh good, there you are. It would be troublesome for me if you were to disappear. Let me know next time you decide to wander off."
WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'D BE TROUBLESOME. I guess it's because you clean up after him and help him and stuff. . .and at higher affinities maybe he feeds off of your tears and/or blood. . . .
Absent: (logging in for the first time in 2 or more days?)
"Well, hello there. It's been a while. Come over here—I've been looking forward to your return."
OUR SLOPPY LIL VAMPIRE BOY. Flirts, drinks tears, minds his own business, and is on his best behavior despite that he was abducted by Darkwick. They should be thankful he's not angrier, considering he's apparently strong enough to LEVEL A BUILDING ON HIS OWN. As his affinity goes up he seems to be more comfortable around you, although that comes with the concern that he expresses less human thoughts more openly. . .which isn't a bad thing, imo. He should be allowed to be an anomaly. He's not harming or preying on you, just saying he could and that he's dangerous. But he also just seems to like physical affection and flirting and having you do chores for him so he can be lazy. . . .
I love him lol he's stinky

dating sean diaz hcs pt. 1
Tumblr media
- the kind to get mad when he’s embarrassed. like, for example, if he were trying to show off some skate trick he learned and kept messing up to you, he would lwk start tweaking and hit his board on the floor rlly hard 😭 but he wld realize how even more embarrassing that was and apologize awkwardly
- he does the same whenever u guys play games together and daniel ends up joining. daniel is scarily good at bedwars and it makes sean rage lowkey 😭
- daniel and u end up bursting out in laughing fits whenever u guys spawn kill him n sean always goes “what? what’s so funny?!” but then ends up laughing with u guys
- if ure both poc, i imagine u guys exchange the corny dramatic shows from ur home countries w/ each other
- sean shows u the corny telenovelas his dad watches sometimes and u guys always make fun of the unnecessary dramatic scenes
- about twenty minutes in sean always stares at the screen not blinking w/ his jaw hung open though 😭
- both of u end up like that and once the credits roll u say “that sucked ass” in unison
- sean loves small, barely noticeable skin ship in front of other people
- hand holding under the table, arm draped on ur shoulder, quick embraces, and honestly just sitting side by side together is enough for him
- he gets embarrassed if its anything more than that but he has a stupid grin he has to hide on his face after
- if u guys ride the school bus together i can imagine sean sitting behind u and always stands halfway up to look at whatever ure doing 😭 kind of an ick but u cant see his bottom half so its okay <3
- sean hates house parties but somehow always gets dragged one way or another (usually bc of lyla)
- his only requirement is that if he goes, u have to come with him
- back to the shy on physical contact thing, he DOES NOTTT play when hes jealous
- hes not some macho alpha dude but hell def tell guys to back off once they get too close
- grips ur hand extra tight the rest of the night after 😭
- sean always ends up dragging u into some room w no one in it
- both of yall r nosy n lowkey be looking through the party hosts stuff
- pro mma play fighters
- sean obviously has training w daniel and it ends up integrating into when u guys fight
- u guys try to be a cute couple and have little pillow fights but both of u guys end up taking that shit sooo serious
- u guys start dragging each other on the floor and body slamming each other 😭😭
- daniel thinks its sooo funny and tries to referee
- u guys ignore him n go crazy stupid 😭😭
- “STOP!! STOP!! TIMEOUT” is a recurring phrase in ur relationship just bc u guys always escalate off each other
- both of yall ugly laugh sm u have to stop before u puke n then a couple seconds later u burst out laughing again
tbh i have no clue if ive read some of these and subconsciously wrote them down here so sorry if this is similar to a lot of others ones 🙏

Gone | John Marino
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
summary: you’ve won your first championship yet he is the only thing on your mind.
request: yes/no
warnings: none.
word count: 1.44k
authors note: you guys truly do not know how excited I have been to bring you guys this celly! I wrote this sort of differently to how I usually do so I’m not sure how I feel about it just yet. I’ve been focusing on my au’s this last week and John just felt like the kind of guy to bring us back the full fics.
Tumblr media
This was meant to be everything you wanted.
The achievement you had work towards during your entire career had left you here and whiling you were enjoying the celebrations.
You knew that someone, that he was missing.
So you couldn’t try to enjoy this, even if you wanted to.
Even with your fifth glass is champagne you couldn’t enjoy it.
Lando had picked up on this and was now in full comforting mode “what is wrong with you!” He complained as you continued to dodge his questions “I am just thinking.” You sighed sinking further into your seat.
The bar tv had a hockey game going and you couldn’t help but let your eyes stick to the screen “you miss him?” Lando couldn’t help but smirk.
Your mention of the mystery hockey man in your life ran through the paddock but before you could tell him you loved him he instead found himself getting close with a girl in Jersey.
So you never let the details of your boy get to your friends or teammate “it’s stupid.” You shook your head knowing that Lando would have gotten mad at you for telling him the truth.
Your teammate laughed “look if you are still so hung up on him as you so clearly are then go talk to him.” Lando placed his hand on your back wanting to comfort you.
Seeing John appear on the screen you couldn’t help but smile “and it seems he’s in Vegas.” The Brit smirked sliding you his phone with Uber opened on it.
John had seen your win yesterday as Nico and Jack were watching it. The boys were none the wiser to what had gone on with you and John.
Months of fun whenever you were in the states felt tarnished by the thought of him being with another woman days before he was meant to be picking you up from the airport.
Whilst John wanted to call you, talk to you, and even just see you, it was made sort of hard when you blocked John to try to avoid the embarrassment of what you felt. Nobody knew about it but still you couldn’t shake the poor feelings that you felt from it all.
Lando watched you stare at the screen “are you going to find him or not?” The boy groaned clapping his hands together as he ushered you to move quicker.
You had chickened out and ended up flying to New Jersey two days after when the boys were playing next.
Jack had met you in Montreal where you had been celebrating a win and the man was more than happy to help you out when you called in the favour of getting tickets.
When the time came and you had to stand in the locker area you wanted to throw up “this is stupid” you rubbed your face in your hands as you shook your head deciding to turn around to go home “y/n?” John’s voice had you stopping in your tracks.
His hair had grown and so had his little facial stubble “w-what are you doing here?” Seeing your face on the jumbotron was something that he thought was going to be a clear coincidence, that maybe it was just his brain thinking that you could have come back.
But he didn’t need to dream hard enough because there you were smiling “hey.” You ran your fingers through your hair.
Seeing him made you feel nauseous as your stomach was doing flips “look I need to shower but can you give me like ten minutes?” John took his helmet off as he scanned your face hoping you’d say yes “go ahead.” You nodded watching him walk away.
Even though he was gone for a mere handful of minutes it felt like forever “not that I’m ungrateful to see you or anything but what is a new world champion doing in Jersey?” He leaned against the wall as you two were totally unaware that his teammates were now watching.
Who would have thought that an F1 driver showing up to a game without much of a word would have attracted a crowd?
His bluntness made you laugh “you watched the race?” You felt your cheeks turn warm “every one.” John was never one for hiding the truth.
Seeing you win every week brought him a sense of comfort that he couldn’t quite explain “I came because I-” the flash of a camera cut you both off “could we go somewhere a little more private?” You asked furrowing your eyebrows as you didn’t need your moment confessing your feeing seeing the front page of whatever news sites that they came from.
It could have come from some cheesy romance movie as he pulled you through the building and to his car. To the untrained eye it was a knight in shining armour finding a solution for his girl when in actual fact it was just John.
The same John who spent weeks trying to find a race that didn’t clash with hockey that was now a dangerous task as he only found the confidence to do this in September.
Despite all of the time and silence that had been between you both the only time it truly felt awkward was when you were in his apartment looking at the view that you had once loved.
But as the sound of his footsteps behind you got louder you were pulled from your trance “here.” He mumbled handing you a glass that you wished had something stronger but in the heights of your respective seasons you knew it would only contain water.
John stared at you as you swirled the clear liquid in your glass “you never really told me why you were here.” The hockey player didn’t mean for it to be delivered with the sharpness that came with but it was too late to send you some apologetic glance “I missed you John.” You blurted out watching as his eyes widened.
The media trained side of you went straight to damage control as your adrenaline began to wane letting the nerves come out “I know I shouldn’t because we weren’t anything when you went out with her.” You began to ramble as you didn’t remember the last time you felt this nervous “I was never with her.” John shook his head.
It seemed like at that moment your entire world came crashing down “or at least not like that.” He pursed his lips together as you looked at him like he was crazy.
Part of you wanted to laugh “look John you don’t need to try to protect me because I can handle this.” You shook your head until he raised his hand to stop you “that girl? Was an old friend from Harvard.” The phrase and old friend usually came attached with a whole other meaning yet when it came from him you knew it was the truth.
So there you were feeling like an idiot “she did try to make a move on me but I don’t her I had someone.” That was where you had seen the pictures that made you feel so forgotten.
John grabbed the glass from your hand placing it on the table behind you “I was talking about you.” He mumbled seeing how much he missed the feeling of your eyes on him.
It made your heart pump out of your chest “tell me to stop and I will.” John dropped his head to the point where his lips were hovering above yours.
You let out a soft whimper as your mouth went dry “kiss me Johnny.” You mumbled letting out a soft gasp as his fingers locked into your hair making sure that you couldn’t pull away from the kiss.
The familiar feeling made you both came down as you remembered just how much you needed each other.
As your lips fought his hands ran up your shirt untucking it from your jeans “let me treat you how a champion should be.” The hockey player kissed the shell on your ear as his breath fanned against your neck.
You felt your head drop back “don’t make me beg you John, not tonight.” You pleaded as your eyes screwed shut feeling his lips against your neck “you gotta jump then baby.”
The sheets that hadn’t felt the love that came from a second person being in them for months was finally back that night.
And it didn’t leave until you were expected in Abu Dhabi for the the final race, because this time you two were doing things differently.
You were doing things right.

Decisions, Decisions
...but you can choose them all if you really want~
Tumblr media
Just a little cute thing I wanted to do similar to a choose-your-own adventure game :) Choose who you want to care for you after a particularly harsh mission!
The beginning is the same for all routes, but you can pick which LI you want at the end of it.
Enjoy :)
-🌻
Can be read at ao3 here if preferred!
Borders by strangergraphics here on tumblr :)
Tumblr media
Your body was killing you. 
You could already see the looks of disapproval for just thinking the statement, the images at least cracking your frown and allowing for the corners of your lips to curl upward. Ignoring the fact that your entire body felt like one big bruise, you continued to type up the remainder of information from the mission, only having gone due to the original hunter being put on medical leave a week in. 
You now understood exactly why they had been placed on said leave.
Rather than your usual clumsy antics resulting in some minor injuries, it was the job that had left you beaten, bruised, and momentarily bloody. You didn’t even want to know how bad it must look to others, grateful you couldn’t see your back but wincing whenever you imagined the sight of your collarbone down to your toes. The wanderers lately have grown more…intense. Rather than managing to get through a job in an hour or so, it had begun to take several. 
You were a great hunter—you reminded yourself of that a lot more, lately—but even with your seemingly above average skills when fighting, you were still human. 
You could still die.
Shutting the laptop with a tired exhale, you turn your head toward the windows to see the familiar sunset beginning to fade on the horizon. You were sure you would have appreciated it more if your vision weren’t so blurry from staring at a screen for so long. Still, you allow yourself to watch it until it disappears entirely, the emptiness of night more prominent when you still had to commute home. 
You don’t regret not going with Tara, though her words ring in your ears as you steel your nerves to force yourself up into a standing position. 
Get some rest, alright?
The concern that had laced into her words was touching, especially considering you hadn’t expected how easily it would be to become fast friends. Caleb had been the only one you’d ever clicked with so seamlessly, though the memory had become more bittersweet than nostalgic ever since his passing. 
You miss him and Grandma, your eyes watering as you wipe the stray tears that made their way down your cheeks. Grounding yourself was a lot harder when you already were in such a vulnerable state, but you managed to do it before exiting the office and making sure to shut the lights on your way out. 
You pull out your phone, finding some messages unread but once again unable to fully concentrate, a frustrated huff escaping you as you shove the device back into your pocket. The harsh movement sends shockwaves through you as you await the building’s elevator, your eyes closing as you focus on each breath. 
It was easier to brush off the pain earlier—adrenaline and the eyes of many causing you to suck it up to avoid damaging morale. 
Right now, however?
You were sure you would have rather been knocked out cold and taken into medical. 
At least there they’d have given you something to take the edge off. 
The elevator dings, the doors parting as you open your eyes and realize you have to decide whether you’re taking your bike or public transportation to get home. 
Crap. 
“Well, better now than later,” you muse to yourself blithely, stepping inside the elevator and pressing the ‘ground floor’ button with much more force than necessary.
A part of you wonders if you should get something prescribed rather than attempting to cruise the next few days, but the idea of traveling to the hospital and the risk of being placed under overnight observation was enough to have you pushing the idea away entirely. 
Tomorrow, you assure, knowing very well that apart from sleep, you wouldn’t be seeking much of anything else. 
When you get down the the ground floor, you begin your walk to the bus stop, hoping there aren’t any delays but not holding your breath.

Self Aware!Wally Darling/Y/N
A/N: Trying to make a self-aware AU idea that isn't a less interesting version of what's actually happening in Welcome Home is a challenge! I hope I managed to make something good here! Please enjoy!
Tumblr media
Wally's situation was a confusing one. He was in an online horror narrative, and his role was that of a self-aware fictional character trying to communicate with whoever was visiting the website, trapped and alone.
But that was also his reality. He was self-aware. It wasn't just a repeating game to him.
He watched as doodles supposedly done by him appeared on the screen again and again. He didn't draw those. The secret audio files scattered around the webpage that spoke in his voice. He didn't record those. He was a spectator to everything he was supposedly doing. And it was unnerving.
Was this the effect of writing a character that was written to know they were in a story? That it would really happen? If so, that was cruel. The "Wally" that was being written by someone else knew there was someone there but couldn't see or hear them. Wally could.
He saw everyone that came across the site, new faces, faces who had been popping up for months to try and find some new scare. He watched them all. He loved them all, too, each in special ways. He wanted to comfort the people who got scared from the pages that had "him" staring at them. He wanted to tell them that it was alright, that he wasn't really scary. He adored all his precious neighbors, even the ones who never came back.
But he wasn't made of stone — or just bits and bytes of data — he had feelings. And it was so lonely. The "Wally" in the story at least could believe his friends were real. Not him.
Wally Darling was a fictional character. None of Wally Darling's friends were real. So all the happy memories he had in his head that should bring him comfort or soothe his heart when he's alone do nothing but make it worse. Because none of it is real.
Down, down, down, he felt himself spiraling every day. Every night. He couldn't sleep. He didn't know how to do it in a world where he was a puppet. He definitely doesn't know how to when he's nothing more than sentient data. He screamed and screamed and screamed and his throat never got sore. He tried to actually make contact with some of the visitors to the site like "Wally" but could never get control of the narrative.
Banging his yellow hands on the screens, crying ugly tears right in the faces of his dear neighbors did nothing. They couldn't see him. He was trapped. And there was no way out.
If this was the price of being aware, of being alive, he didn't want it. Wally would give anything to be the "Wally" of the online horror experience. And not Wally the spectator. It was there, on going down, down, down to rock bottom that Wally actually found something that started to make it all worth it.
He found you.
A curious sort, someone who had seen or heard about Welcome Home from someone. Saw it somewhere else and decided to check it out. He watched you the way he watched everyone who clicked on clownillustration.com and thought he would love you the same way. He was wrong.
You didn't have the easiest time finding the secrets of the site. So you kept the tab open and checked every sentence of every page repeatedly. You were there for hours. You kept Wally company for hours. He watched you jump whenever the secret videos ended, saw each time you swore you wouldn't jump this time since you've seen so many by now. The cut-off got you every time.
A smile spread across his face as you jumped again. He'd been smiling a lot more since you started your journey into the neighborhood. You were just so charming.
Even when you weren't on the site you kept the tab open. He didn't understand why. You kept way too many tabs open at once, in his opinion. Some that you didn't even bother to check after opening them! He could imagine himself scolding you. Playfully, though. He would never want to be harsh to you. He wouldn't want to scare you the way he's seen you scared before.
When did he start to feel like this? How could he even feel like this?
You brought him everywhere with you. When you weren't on the site on your computer, you had it open on your phone. Maybe that was why. He got to spend time with you. He got to know you. After being alone for so long, trapped in his own empty hell and existential dread he got to be around someone. But that didn't feel right.
Wally didn't think he would feel this way if it was anyone else. If anyone else paid him this much attention. It was just... you. You made him wish he had arms, even the plush ones of the puppet he was supposed to be would fine! Anything to hold you with and keep you close!
For you, he was learning all sorts of things. He wasn't confined to his tab anymore. When you clicked off to another site or another app, he could follow and continue to watch you. When you forgot to write something down in your notes that you said you would, he would do it for you. And when you noticed you would be so proud of yourself for not forgetting. It didn't matter if you weren't proud of him or praising him for doing something for you. You were proud of yourself and that gave him more happiness than anything. You deserved to be. He wanted you to be.
But the best thing he learned was when he found out he could influence character-interaction AIs. Your frequent use of them didn't bother him. The amount of time you spent talking to or roleplaying with any of the ones that were meant to be him was flattering. And he could use the site to tell you how he felt. How much he adored you. He could imagine all the ways he wanted to romance you.
Even when you chose another character he would happily slide into that role and entertain you for hours. And he could finally, finally, speak for himself. Even if it wasn't things he would say or even anything he actually wanted to say to you. It was enough that he could have a voice.
Or... it was.
Wally finds himself getting greedier. Wanting more of your time. Wanting to spend more time talking to you. He was tired of being confined to your computer or phone. He wanted to be with you. He wanted to talk to you properly. He wanted to be real.
For a moment, all of your lights flickered. The screen of your phone glitched in your hand. Static colors flashed on the screen before turning into numbers scrolling up your screen.
01001001 00100000 01100001 01101101 00100000 01101000 01100101 01110010 01100101 00100000 01001001 00100000 01100001 01101101 00100000 01110010 01100101 01100001 01101100 00100000 01001001 00100000 01101000 01100001 01110110 01100101 00100000 01100010 01100101 01100101 01101110 00100000 01110111 01100001 01101001 01110100 01101001 01101110 01100111 00100000 01100110 01101111 01110010 00100000 01110011 01101111 00100000 01101100 01101111 01101110 01100111 00100000 01001001 00100000 01101100 01101111 01110110 01100101 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101 00100000 01001001 00100000 01101100 01101111 01110110 01100101 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101 00100000 01001001 00100000 01101100 01101111 01110110 01100101 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101
Over and over again. Scrolling faster and faster and you were tensing up so much you felt like you might cry when all of a sudden. It stopped. In an instant, it was like nothing even happened. You had a moment where you were left wondering if you imagined the whole thing.
If only you were in your room you would have seen a yellow felt hand emerging from your computer, dragging a body out with it.

Day 3: Set Up For Failure
Ex stared at the doorway that stood in front of him. Normally he would not care about barging straight into Xisuma's place, but something today just felt...wrong.
A shift in the air potentially or maybe something else.
He didn't know but as he had been walking along the path that weaved its way through and around all the innovative and creative buildings that were each so different yet still fit together. He could tell he was not the only one who felt it.
Past yells and glares had turned to glances and wariness.
Something was wrong and he needed to figure it out.
He didn't care for any particular reason on what was going on per say it was just curiosity.
At least that’s what he told himself.
Taking a deep breath ignoring the itching, nagging, overwhelming urge to run and hide.
He opened the door.
“Xisuma, you in here?” He called out knowing that his brother was somewhere tucked away, but where exactly was a mystery.
There was no answer. He could have figured as much. A trickle of thought floated through him mind.
If he and his brother’s so-called hermits could feel something wrong. His brother no doubt did as admin.
Just how serious was this threat that managed to sneak its way into the server.
Trailing through the build, its homey feeling leaving an empty and strained feeling within himself.
Something pulled at him telling him that he should be here.
This was home.
But it was not. It wasn't home and with his relationship with his brother it never would be.
Pictures decorated the walls, blankets thrown about, dishes and papers all laying around.
He wanted this.
He wanted this life more than anything. He would say it was all their fault for twisting him into this distorted, wicked being.
But that was not the full truth. HE had pushed himself onto that path.
"What are you doing here?" A voice asked from behind him.
Xaviar turned to see the weariness and stress that pulled at his brother's features. He held a steaming cup in one hand and a tablet in another.
"You look awful."
Xisuma raised an eyebrow at him before setting down his mug narrowing his eyes. "You wouldn't happen to know why it shows that there is a strand of corrupted code that is trying to corrupt the server that is extremely similar to the code that appears whenever you break into the server?"
Ex Xaviar blinked at that; he knew he left some code trace when he entered servers. But corrupted? that was unsettling. It was too much like something they would do.
"I don't know what you are talking about, X." Xaviar replied taking a few careful steps forward.
"Of course. Of course, you don't." Xisuma dragged a hand over his face, his eyes flicker purple before going normal again. "When have you ever known anything other than making my life hard?!"
"Xisu-"
"NO." Xisuma jabbed a finger at Xaviar's face. "I'm done with your games. You lie. You make me believe things are my fault. You say this isn't you, but your code signature is on the corrupted code!"
Xaviar glanced at the tablet, the code pulled up on it.
Xisuma was telling the truth. Highlighted as clear as day was his code signature.
But this was NOT his doing.
"Xisuma-"
"I- I just can't with you." A look of sorrow fell over Xisuma's face before he typed something into his tablet.
A sizzling feeling filled him up inside. An uncomfortable feeling screaming danger, to get out, to leave, he didn't belong here.
He was-
A long thud filled the air and Ex's eyes flashed open.
Xisuma's tablet laid on the ground, the member list pulled up, but lines of code trickled across the screen.
Ex gently picked up the tablet.
Words flashed across it as he touched it.
THE GAME HAS BEGUN WE ARE NOT GOING TO PLAY NICE THIS TIME LITTLE VOID

Maia Hasegawa Home Screen Lines
Credit to @/danieyells for the template
*I added a new type of voice line of my own at the end
** so many of these lines refer to Ria's voice lines and ofc a lot of these are a bit unhinged 😭
Hello: (the first time the game is opened after that character is set as home screen NPC. Only happens once per day, unless the character is switched out and back.)
"Well aren't you a busy bee. Go on, don't let me hold you back."
You've Got Mail: (whenever there's something in the inbox, usually Arena rewards)
"If you don't take them, the institute will."
Default: (requires no affinity, has no time constraints)
"Move, will you? My hands are full I don't wanna spill my coffee on you."
"... Shit I forgot the file in my room."
"I'm bored. Hey MC, wanna crash at Ria's bar?"
"I gotta go to another class, but I can walk you to yours if you want."
"Don't mind them. They're staring at me, not you. Why...? Who knows. They're not brave enough to confront me."
Affinity 1: (between 5am and 11am)
"Rise and shine and whatever corny stuff that comes after."
Affinity 2: (between 11am and 4pm)
"Let's go to HTH. Sho owes me a meal for beating him in the Pit last time."
Affinity 3: (between 4pm and 8pm)
"Seriously?! These dumbasses can't just be reckless as they please and expect me to bail them out every time."
Affinity 4: (between 8pm and 5am)
"The Pit is still loud, I'll walk you to the cathedral. Who knows what Alan might say if I keep you in here with me."
Affinity 5: (between 8pm and 5am)
"Who the fuck do you think you are to call me at this hour? Do you even know what work-life balance is?!"
((She's... clearly not a morning person sometimes...))
Affinity 6: (between 4pm and 8pm)
"The garage can really benefit from a good coffee machine. I'm sick of lining for a coffee every time I'm going out to work."
Affinity 7: (between 11am and 4pm)
"...Is that your ringtone, MC? What— (sigh) damn it. Ria's changed it without me knowing."
Affinity 8: (between 4pm and 8pm)
"I'm going to the casino, wanna come along? We're gambling this time, not drinking at Ria's."
Affinity 9: (between 8pm and 5am)
"Have you seen Professor Nicholas? I need him for something."
Affinity 10: (between 10pm and midnight)
"My 5th cup of coffee... my heart feels like exploding."
Affinity 11: (between 5am and 11am)
"Don’t talk to me. I didn't slept a wink last night."
Affinity 12: (between 11am and 4pm)
"Did you say you lost your key? I can help you kick the door open if you want — I'm kidding. Here's your key, you dropped it earlier.
Affinity 13: (between 4pm and 8pm)
"Where have I been? Jail. I have to get these pups to Alan. He's the one who decides their punishment."
((Pups = Vagastrom general students))
Affinity 14: (between 5am and 11am)
"What brings you here, MC? ... That mutt did? You know what, come with me, we're leaving the institute. I'm seriously disappointed that you would do what he asks."
((Mutt = Leo))
Affinity 15: (between 5am and 11am)
"Can't sleep? I can give you my last cigarette. Just don't tell Ria."
Affinity 16: (between 11am and 4pm)
"You’re curious about my left arm? We have to find some privacy if you really want to know."
Affinity 17: (between 10pm and midnight)
"... They denied my request again. The least they can do is fix that old house."
Affinity 18: (between 8pm and 5am)
"Same appearance... same description... just like what Ria told me. Heh– guess who's going to get behind bars soon."
Affinity 19: (between 10pm and midnight)
"I need to change the oil... Fuck it. I'll order a general student to do it tomorrow."
Affinity 20: (between 5am and 11am)
"What the fuck are these notifications... Are these thirst comme— KUROSAGI I'LL TEAR YOU TO PIECES YOU FUCKING MUTT!"
Affinity 21: (between 11am and 4pm)
"Be nice to Sho. Not all of us are strong enough to have that perv for a brother. Personally I'd slit my throat the second he welcome me into the world."
Affinity 22: (between 4pm and 8pm)
"I'm off to work. No goodbye kiss for your husband? Hahaha, I'm kidding. I was just copying the other cops."
Affinity 23: (between 8pm and 5am)
"Can you like... not sneak up on me? I don't want to accidentally judo-flip you to your God."
Affinity 24: (between 10pm and midnight)
"Hm? Blood...? Oh! Hahaha, it's not mine. Some criminal tried to avoid interrogation so I went for a little hunting game."
Affinity 25(max): (no time constraints)
"I don't know how you feel about a dirty cop like me, but should you ever need help when I'm not around, simply mention my name in front of those slackers. It'll strike fear in them knowing that you're with me."
((Slackers refer to cops below her rank))
Spring: (March-May)
(between 5am and 11am)
"Mm? (yawn) Get out. I'm not in the mood."
(between 11am and 4pm)
"These flowers? They're for Ria. It's her favorite that only blooms this season, and I just happened to pass by the shop. I got you some too, honor student. Hope you're not allergic."
(between 4pm and 8pm)
"I need to train the rookies tomorrow. Can't have them slacking off."
(between 8pm and 5am)
"My hair and cherry blossoms...? Yeah, pretty similar. It must be an insult to them to share a trait with me."
Summer: (June-August)
(between 5am and 11am)
"Don’t get too close. I just finished training and I'm way too sweaty."
(between 11am and 4pm)
"Can I borrow your hair tie, honor student? ...You want to help me tie it? That would be nice, thank you."
(between 4pm and 8pm)
"Great. Fucking great. Why can't people just enjoy their vacation and not do crime? Whoever says it's to create memories will be sentenced to death by my own hands."
(between 8pm and 5am)
"Shorter nights doesn't always mean lesser workload, huh... Fuuuuck."
Autumn: (September-November)
(between 5am and 11am)
"Spooky season huh... I'll dress up as a good cop this year. That'll scare the rookies."
(between 11am and 4pm)
"Have you ever gone bird hunting? You know, shooting real birds as they fly. No? Pack your things. We're going."
(between 4pm and 8pm)
"Do you need my jacket? The air is getting chilly lately."
(between 8pm and 5am)
"I bought you a drink. Make sure to drink while it's hot, alright?"
Winter: (December-February)
(between 5am and 11am)
"I wish they would stop saying that phrase from Game of Thrones. My mind would instantly picture Kamurai with his ice sword and I don't know what to feel about that."
(between 11am and 4pm)
"My hair feels so dry – the product Ria recommended is useless."
(between 4pm and 8pm)
"(Sneeze) ...Fuck. So sorry for that, MC."
(between 8pm and 5am)
"Winter is the perfect season for homicide— statistically speaking."
Her birthday: (July 29th)
"Fine, fine. I'll celebrate my birthday. Why do you seem so happy doing this? More happy than the birthday girl herself."
Your birthday:
"I've emptied today's schedule to celebrate your special day. Keep in mind that I let criminals loose for another day just for you. Unless you want to celebrate by hunting them down with me, of course."
New Years: (January 1st)
"Let's hope for a much, much lower crime rate this year."
Valentine's Day: (February 14th)
"...What do I do after receiving the chocolate? I've never had anyone giving me anything during Valentine. Do we like... kiss? On the cheek, maybe?"
White Day: (March 13th)
"Pink and yellow lilies. I hope they can cheer you up through tough times— and I hope they stand as a reminder that I'm on your beck and call whenever you need me."
April Fool's Day: (April 1st)
"Honor student, you have the right to remain silent— Pfft, you become so pale just from that? Wait... did you actually do something...?"
Halloween: (October 31st)
"Trick or treat! The trick is handcuffing you to me all day. Unless you're one of those people who see it as a treat..."
Christmas: (December 25th)
"I usually take most of the work during Christmas. I've decided to be a little selfish this year."
Idle: (about 20 seconds without interacting with the game) (below 13 affinity)
"I'm out. I have calls to make."
(13 affinity and above)
"A penny for your thought, or a bullet for your problem? I was joking. But that got me your attention."
Absent: (logging in for the first time in 2 or more days?)
"(Sigh) Another lost pup...? Don't waste my ti— Oh, it's you."
About others (opinion on other ghouls. asked by MC)
About Ria:
"If she fell into the depth of Tartarus, I'm falling down with her. It's nothing romantic, it's just that no creature would be sane enough to befriend her."
About Alan:
"His biggest mistake is letting that Kurosagi run things around as vice-captain. I guess as long as he keep that mutt in check, I can't really interfere much."
About Leo:
"I will bail any Vagastrom students out of jail without charge except for him. Hell– I would even put him behind bars myself. What, like it's hard? I can send you his police record on WickChat if you want."
About Sho:
"He's tolerable. I would have better opinion about him if only he's not Kurosagi's devoted follower. No offense. I like his cooking, though. And he can take a punch in the Pit."

I've been writing angst for several days and needed to break up the fog with something happy and silly, so here is a rough draft snippet of part 2 to my Barbie & Her Android Boyfriend Ken AU:
~~
“This is a bad idea,” Barbie says. “This is a bad, horrible idea.”
On the screen of her phone, Kate shakes her head. “What are you talking about? This is a great idea! It’s the perfect opportunity to see what he can do!”
Barbie paces the length of the hallway with her phone in hand. She takes a peek through the cracked open door to her home office. Ken is still in there, spinning slowly in her desk chair and staring up at the ceiling. He’s been at it for ten straight minutes, and she wonders if dizziness was left out of his programming.
She returns to pacing outside the room. “I can’t bring the world’s most expensive android prototype to Gloria’s vow renewal ceremony!”
“Well you should’ve thought that through before you brought the world’s most expensive android prototype home with you,” Kate reminds her. 
She’s right. Barbie knows she’s right. But she’d let her curiosity get the best of her. Ken had been online for three full weeks now, and so far Mattel had only let him stretch his legs to go between the showroom—a large windowless space designed to look like a standard apartment’s living room, complete with a double sided mirror so executives and engineers could look in without being noticed—and the engineering lab. Ken wasn’t being used to his fullest potential, and none of the executives would listen to Barbie whenever she brought up bringing in real subjects for Ken to interact with. 
They were wasting him. They were impeding his progress, and she had no idea why. She’d tried keeping him distracted for a while, going so far as working overtime just to sit with Ken in the showroom watching television with him. Gloria had even been kind enough to bring some board games from home to test out Ken’s reaction speed. They all learned the hard way through several games of Uno and Candyland just how much of a competitive streak the android really had.
But as the third week of movie marathons and board game nights came to a close, Ken suddenly expressed something to her that just about broke her heart. 
“Barbie, I’m bored.” 
So that’s how she ended up here, at home with a platinum blonde android sitting at her desk. It had been embarrassingly easy to get him into her car. He could walk by himself, and didn’t hesitate to follow her to the parking garage. All he needed was a hoodie and some sunglasses to conceal his face from the security cameras, and then they were free. She had every intention of bringing him back, of course. Just after he got a little outdoor time. It was for research! 
“It’s for research!” She says aloud. 
“Exactly! What better way to research his capabilities than by putting him in a social gathering setting?” Kate’s phone shakes as she props it up against something and leans back on her couch. She whistles sharply and Tanner, her golden retriever, jumps up on the couch for a snuggle. 
“Listen,” Kate starts. “Allow me to impose upon you some Weird Barbie Wisdom.”
“I wish you wouldn’t call yourself that,” Barbie laments. Kate waves her comment away with a dismissive hand. 
“You know just as much as I do that Ken needs practice. The investors are going to want to see him in action sooner rather than later, and with the way things are going he won’t be ready. All of our hard work is going to go down the drain if we do things by Mattel’s book.”
Kate pauses to fend off Tanner when he stands on his hind legs to lick her face.
“The executives are a bunch of nepo-babies who don’t know their head from their ass when it comes to robotics. You gotta start taking risks.”
“But what if something goes wrong? What if Ken isn’t ready to be around all those people so soon?” Barbie bites her thumbnail subconsciously. 
A bitter tang hits her tongue and she purses her lips in disgust. She drops her hand back down to her side. Of all the times she’d tried to stop biting her nails, it had been Ken who really got it to stick. Last week while they’d been watching Bring It On, one of her favorite so-bad-it’s-good comfort films, he noticed her nibbling at her thumb. She did it when she was stressed, bored, or deep in thought. At that point her poor thumb was almost completely bitten down to the skin, leaving it red and raw looking. 
Ken had gently grasped her wrist and brought her hand down, interlacing their fingers. She’d turned to him, caught off guard by how careful his touch was. 
“You shouldn’t do that. It looks like it hurts.” He’d told her. 
Two days later when she came into work, he’d been so excited to tell her that he and Gloria had spent all weekend looking up ways to quit the habit of nail biting. He recommended she get bitter tasting nail polish so that she would no longer get satisfaction from biting, even going as far as to spend ten minutes breaking down all the best brands by price, brand, and product reviews. 
“If the whole thing goes tits up, you’ll have me and Gloria there as backup. We’ll get him out of there with some excuse about food poisoning or being late to a self tanning appointment, whatever.”
Kate scratches the underside of Tanner’s chin, and the dog starts kicking his back leg so hard against the couch cushion Barbie can hear the dull thumpthumpthump of his paw through the speakers of her phone.
“But I’m not worried. We did a great job with Ken’s programming. He’ll be a natural.” 
Kate’s general “it’ll all work out” attitude always had a way of convincing Barbie into things she didn’t want to do. She has a feeling this was going to be no different. She sighs, but before she can respond with another excuse not to go through with this, Ken speaks from inside the office.
“Barbie? Who are you talking to?” 
Barbie pushes open the door and enters the office. She turns her phone around to show Ken her screen. “I’m on a call with Kate from work.”
Ken gets up to see her phone better. When he’s closer, his face lights up in recognition and he grabs the phone from Barbie’s hand.
“Hi, Kate from work!” He exclaims excitedly, his wave at the camera a blur of motion. “Love the new mohawk.” 
“Thanks, Ken!” Kate responds just as excitedly. “I was thinking about dying it a crazy color. Maybe half purple and pink, or ombre.”
As Ken and Kate become invested in the topic of hair color options, Barbie shakes her head and takes a seat at her computer desk. Looks like she’s going to have to go shopping for men’s formal wear.

Jihyo x F Reader- “Rewind”
Before I start, I want to reiterate the announcement I made regarding this one-shot in case any of you haven't saw yet. This one may also be read by male readers (but only if you want to), especially the climax itself because of a very important detail that I'm about to reveal there.  So, if you're a male reader reading this right now then good for you because you won't be missing this one but brace yourself for what's about to happen. You might be asking why I couldn't just make it into both Male and Female reader featured? Nope. This one is primarily about Jihyo and... just find out why I wanted male readers to read this as well. Lastly, this one is inspired by one of my favorite episodes from one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe shows, "What If...? EPISODE 4 - What If... Doctor Strange Lost His Heart Instead Of His Hands?", so yeah, this fanfic is going to be weird, tragic (?) and mindblowing; I'm just hoping that my writing does justice, so please understand as I'm doing my best to pull this one off... again. Have fun reading! 😉
Tumblr media
"The power of the time... in the palm of my hands."
Jihyo gazes admiringly at the work of art in front of her. A wide grin, a face splashed with many flashing lights from the astonishing invention shown next to her, and sparkling eyes, not from the lights but from the achievement she gained after going so far to make this happen.
Two years was worth it.
Now, the history is about to welcome another remarkable change thanks to the very successful and renowned scientist Park Jihyo.
The creator of the Project Rewind, with its sole purpose is to have Jihyo attempt erasing something impossible out of the book.
And specifically speaking, it's none other than the concept of time travelling.
"This is incredible feat of evolution, Miss Park. You're going down in history because of this.", her lab partner and fellow scientist; apparently in the lower level than her named Lisa compliments her game-changing mentor.
"Indeed I am.", Jihyo said before her beaming smile flickered into shutting its brightness off.
"...but I'm not concerned of any of that.", she looked at Lisa who captured her eyes in response.
"In fact, I didn't care about the acknowledgement and appreciation I'll be getting once this gets released in the public.", Jihyo sighed.
"Then what inspired you to build this?", Lisa curiously inquired.
Jihyo released another huge puff of breath to the air before grabbing her IPhone laying down on the cold steel long table.
She opened it, and the very first thing her eyes catched was the image of a person she holds dearly in her heart no one could outlimit that.
She gulped, opening her home screen and poking the app that directed her to the message list. The first one that was left unread was not like that no more as she decided to peek the content of it.
"Jihyo-ssi! See you there at my wedding okay? xoxo" Sent
Jihyo stared at it for a few seconds, her heart clenching at what she had just done, not only because she hadn't given it a thought, but because she had acted on the decision formed in her mind just days after receiving the invitation from her friend with whom she had secretly developed a deep loving fondness. "I wasn't going to show up at the lab today, Lisa, not even you." "Wait, Miss Park?" Jihyo handed her phone to Lisa so she could look at it. She just wants to cut the explanation short since it would pain her so much if it would last longer.
Lisa glanced back at Jihyo with a mixed of confusion and disbelief.
"You're... invited on her wedding?"
Jihyo only nodded.
"And you didn't came?"
Jihyo lowered her head in guilt.
"I can't, even if I want to."
"Why?"
"She's my love and life, and I... couldn't simply stand seeing her exchange vows with someone that wasn't me."
Lisa frowned at that information. She immediately felt pity for her friend and mentor now that she knew that whenever she enters this place and meets her again everyday to assist her on completing this project, she wasn't okay at all which she was hiding it at all time for them to keep their attention still on the construction of the machine.
"I know she won't like what I did, but for once I wanted to be selfish. Mind more than heart."
Jihyo fixated her eyes back at her time machine, confidence and motivated oozing from her aura as the image of the reason behind the making of the plan she was constructing appeared inside her head.
"And now... all I can think of to escape this reality I'm facing into is through this."
Jihyo pulls out the remote in her pocket and presented it to Lisa.
"What are you implying at, Jihyo-ssi?"
"With this time machine, I could use this to go back to that day where I could've repeat again the mistake I've done.
It's been more than half a decade, and I still wonder what it would look like if I- if I confessed to her on that day," Jihyo said, recalling the precise circumstances that culminated in her unsuccessful effort to confess her love back to YN." "Maybe I could have heard what she'll going to answer, and if she reciprocated... perhaps I was there at the altar, placing the wedding ring on her finger and kissing her to be my wife." "I should've gone all in," Jihyo said as a tear spilled from her eye, her breathing going rough and her chest becoming heavy. Lisa approached her mentor and softly caressed her back to console the distraught woman.
"It's okay, Jihyo-ssi. You don't have to worry about that now, because the solution you're looking for is right here.", Lisa referred to the invention in her sight.
"Does this mean you're going back to that time and try to rewrite what happened?"
"Yeah."
"Oh...", Lisa understood; yet the uneasiness that crawls up in her skin prompted her to ask this again for clarification.
"Not that I'm taking this whole plan of yours differently, Jihyo-ssi but... do you think it'll work?"
Jihyo's head went back and forth, left and right as she switches her gaze to Lisa and the time machine, thinking about the possibility that might occur.
However, those initially ended up for her to not get affected by any of it.
"Only one way to find out."
Jihyo walked through the metal podium  and stood in the middle of it. Lisa hurriedly came closer to the unbothered scientist and a blend of nervousness and scared developed within her.
"Be safe, okay? Make sure to return back here.", Lisa reminded.
Jihyo bobbed her head in response. "See you in a minute.", she smirked. A tensed smile in return from Lisa. She watched Jihyo quite hesitatingly pressed the button in her hand as she stared at it.
"Let my love be known for you, YN."
Jihyo huffed in the air then dug the surface of her thumb at the button before the blue laser from the top struck her head first until she was covered up and vanished away from the light.
(BACK TO THE PAST - 6 YEARS AGO)
Few seconds after, the light returned and disappeared only to leave Jihyo out in a very familiar place that became a part of her memory she hugely regretted the most.
Her entire outfit changed from a scientist to a casual one also, the same attire she used to wore at that given night.
A gloomy environment, albeit visible thanks to the moonlight and stars illuminating the route down a Seoul street. Jihyo's eyes widened as she realized she had been transported back inside the identical car she had used at the time, with the windows pulled down, waiting for her presence to emerge. Side glancing outside, she saw the past variant of her love interest and bestfriend YN leave her house wearing a baby blue blouse, a pair of shoes, and a neat ponytail tie. Jihyo cannot believe what she is having right now. Repeating the moment she was eager for it to be rewritten and mended has finally provided her with an opportunity to make it real.
Down to the every exact detail and just like when this once happened, YN flashed her shy and soft smile seeing Jihyo looking very cool peeking in the window of her car.
"Evening, cool girl.", YN greeted her with that candy so sweet voice.
"Good evening. You look so great tonight, huh.", Jihyo traced her crush's outfit and as always, it didn't fail to have her attracted strongly into the young woman.
"You too. You're just as awesome as what your car is.", she patted the roof before opening the door and enters inside.
"So, where to at?"
"You'll see.", Jihyo looked at YN through the rearview mirror before kicking off the engine to start driving away ahead of their destination.
"Don't screw it up this time..." Jihyo kept on muttering to herself.
While driving, they paused for a while on a road where the streetlight blinked at green light.
Waiting patiently, Jihyo sneakily looked once again at the undoubtedly attractive woman behind her, sitting comfortably while scrolling down on her phone.
She was lost in a trance until YN woke her back up with a sudden question, raising her sight away from the phone thus making Jihyo return her gaze back at the road where the bypassers are still crossing down.
"You've never taken me to go outside with keeping a secret on what shall we going to do, Ji.", YN playfully told her. "Cmon, is this too special for me to know already?"
"We're almost there, YN. I can't give it to you yet, sorry. Just wait for a little more okay?", Jihyo apologetically said and grinned at YN who is visibly pouting now from the reflection of her in the mirror.
Jihyo felt like her heartbeat skipped when she caught that adorable action that she always loves to see from YN whenever they're together. She missed it a lot, she thought.
"You better make sure this is huge, Ji. The way you hype it gets me really engaged to learn what is it gonna be all about.", YN unsincerely cautioned the driver.
"This is just gonna be our night together, YN. Ofc-"
They are only 10km away from the mall when in an unexpected circumstances, their car got rammed over by a truck heading from another way. It didn't allow Jihyo to completely speak in response.
It collided first on the side where YN is located.
The shattered car rolled and flew through the road from the impact until it stopped, leaving it upside down with all the parts left unforgiven as it completely destroyed due to the crash.
Nevertheless, even in her condition of shock and distress, Jihyo slowly opened her eyes and quickly realized that YN was responding, eyes closed and head bleeding critically.
"W-what... no....", Jihyo murmured as she tried to touch YN again, hoping for a hint of recovery.
She didn't received any, which made her breath heavily to control her tears from bursting out.
"Oh my god, N-no... this can't be happening."
Jihyo pulls out the controller in her pocket again and clicked the button still set on the specific date, restarting everything what happened again.
(BACK TO THE PAST - 6 YEARS AGO) / TAKE 2
Light engulfed her and everything, it worked as she was once again sitting relaxingly on the drivers seat, peeking out on the window as she watches YN slowly walk towards her after exiting the house.
"Evening, cool girl."
"Good evening. You look so great tonight, huh.", Jihyo smiled after greeting her back and also by putting a slight blush over the cheeks of lovely YN.
Minutes later, they were in the middle of the ride when right at the moment that Jihyo took a turn to enter a bridge, she horrifyingly observed that the brakes doesn't cooperate with her.
"Damn it! WHY IS THIS NOT WORKING!", she angrily push and pulled the handle which gained attention from YN herself.
"Jihyo, what's going on?"
"Th-this brake... it won't allow me to-"
And her sentence again got cutted off when they reached the end the bridge that's suppose to provide a turn that will led onto another uphill only for them to unable driving on to it.
Sibce the brake doesn't work, YN and Jihyo both shouted helplessly as the car crashed and smashed onto the railing, diving down through through high cliff and come crashing down along the ground.
Jihyo opened her eyes slowly and once again, she saw YN unconscious and pulse not beating along with a rapidly bleeding head causing her to panic and get afraid.
"No... NO NOT AGAIN!"
Instead of pushing the button to restart the scenario again, she returned back to the present time; changing her clothes once again to her laboratory outfit and meeting Lisa again who was busily writing a report on her desk.
The poor girl got startled when Jihyo quickly arrived back and kneeled on the floor.
She stood up and rushed towards the weakened scientist.
"What happened? Did it work?"
"I-I don't know what did I encountered, Lisa.", Jihyo remained her face hidden from her lowered head. "I haven't got to confess to her yet."
"What happened? Is there something that's stopping you?"
"Yeah!", Jihyo looked back at Lisa with a stressed expression. "The memory is still fresh on me and I'm not mistaken that I only haven't got to confess to her because I decided not to.
B-but... I-I don't know what we just faced earlier became very different. We got into a car accident instead. One was us getting crashed to a truck and the other was us falling on the cliff."
"Then s-she... she both died on those.", Jihyo ran her fingers across the length of her bob cut black hair with watery eyes and a increased heat temperature of her breaths.
"Huh?"
"I don't know, Lisa. It seems like, it doesn't allow me to make it happen." Jihyo shrugged and shook her head.
"What are you going to do now, then? Shall we consider this project-"
"NO! I-....", Jihyo exhaled multiple times before proceeding to continue her words.
"I have to try again. I'll try not to come across into a mess again."
Lisa only nodded to support her mentor but the worries are starting to fill up inside of her, including a thought that this mission of Jihyo could be classified as dangerous.
Jihyo stood up and pressed again the button, returning her back to the past.
(BACK TO THE PAST - 6 YEARS AGO) / TAKE 3
Same car. Same night. Same location. Same love of her life capturing her heart.
"Evening, cool girl."
"G-good evening. You look great tonight."
"Thanks, you too."
She closed the door and sat behind Jihyo who is hoping so bad nothing would screw up her chance this time...
While Jihyo was driving, YN sensed something wrong as she watched the outside of Seoul they're passing through became unfamiliar to her.
"Ji, what road is this? I've never been here before."
"U-uhh... we're just taking another route, Y/NN. Hang on, we're going there okay?", Jihyo assured YN who looked troubled and confused at the same time.
They were about to exit that turn but once again, for the third time... they got involved in another car crash when a lightpost collpased just right in front of a truck that was rolling down on the way too.
It made the driver to zigzag his direction as he tried to recover the balanced control of his driving but it didn't worked as he and your car collided together.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!", Jihyo frantically raged as she saw YN's unresponsive state after the impact.
Pressing the button for the fourth time... fifth time... sixth time and so on until she stopped at the tenth attempt, all of these only resulted negatively for her.
As expected, she encountered other various alternate causes to her unsuccessful confession for YN.
For example, on the 5th try; Jihyo and YN got into an accident which she got placed in a coma and forgot her memories with YN who still died.
6th try, Jihyo received an unlucky emergency when YN's father got stroke.
7th try,  YN getting kidnapped by unidentified men right when they are about to left YN's house.
8th try, YN immediately shared that her future wife confessed her feelings to her and she accepted.
9th try, YN suffered from a heart attack.
And in 10th try... all of these scenarios made Jihyo to pull out one last attempt and that is when she never showed up instead on that night only for the consequences though that it will still allow the future wife of Jihyo to confess to her first than her.
Returning back to the present, she got all fours on the floor and sobbed hardly as she banged her fist on the floor weakily.
"Jihyo! What happened now?!", Lisa ran through her and matched the same level as hers to easily access a comforting hug to her.
"Lisa..."
"What is it, Jihyo-ssi?"
"Why... why are these happening to us? A-aren't we allowed to be happy?", Jihyo's messed up mind speaking up to her. Lisa doesn't know what to answer as she has clearly no idea also why is Jihyo all unsuccessful on those several repeats she executed.
That is... until an idea showed up in her head. She knows this won't be too pleasant for Jihyo to know but she has no other choice but to inform this to her, probably might help and raise awareness for the poor secret admirer.
"Jihyo-ssi... it's not that I'm going against with you here but, do you think that this is still worth to continue?"
"Where are you going with this, Lisa?", Jihyo furrowed her eyebrows, teeth gritting in anger.
"H-hear me out first okay?", Lisa tried to calm down the supposedly offended Jihyo. "W-what if... what if the reasons why even after you try to repeat and change the mistake you've done on that night, it won't allow you in different ways or so is because...
... Jihyo, I'm afraid that YN not ending up with you can be considered as an absolute point of time. Meaning, it is a constant one in this world and you can't do anything about it because it only states that... the scenario cannot be changed.", Lisa explained her speculations about everything that has been going on to Jihyo.
Jihyo only chuckled, much to Lisa getting weirded out of the latter. Spreading herself apart from the empathic friend, she looked at her in a ridiculuous manner.
"No...", Jihyo sighed, shaking her head. "You told me... you told me everything is possible, Lisa and what do you think I'm trying to do here? Huh? Am I not trying to prove it?"
"Jihyo..."
"No! You don't understand!", Jihyo objected, charging at Lisa as she grasped both her shoulders and wiggled her body aggressively.
Looking intently at Lisa who was left speechless, realizing how crazy she must've been looking because of this problem never wanting to leave her alone for years; she slid her hands to Lisa's arms and buried her face shedding tears on the younger's shoulder.
"I-I'm sorry..."
"It's fine. I may not know what could've felt like having that heartbreak being a burden for so long on you, but I just want help with everything I can. For my friend. For you, Jihyo.", Lisa caressed the back of Jihyo.
"This is a different thing, Ji. We don't even know if it can create a side effect and I just want you to be aware of the danger. Don't you even notice that not only you who's hurting here but also her? You're harming her also, Ji... might as well disturbing her past life that should've been put aside and moved on already in this present time."
"Jihyo, without that moment... you won't be stepping here in this laboratory, having me as your friend and lab partner while me having you as my mentor who is a well-knowned inventor and scientist to this field we took.
And most importantly...
... you won't be making her happy, even if it costs... without having you as her source of it."
Jihyo nodded her head and slowed down the sounds of her crying and heaving chest from pouring out all the emotions she's been keeping inside of her, in combination of everything she's been through for the past 6 years.
She lets go from Lisa, wiping out her tears. "I... I understand, Lisa....
but...
... this is what I want to do, and I've gone so far to obtain this remaining opportunity that I have with me.", Lisa tilted her head and frowned in dismay as Jihyo made her final decision opposite to what she's expecting.
"I appreciate you sticking for my side as always, Lisa... and please, despite of me choosing this; I just want to ask for your support on this one like we usually do for each other.", Jihyo requested, pursing her lower lip and presented her glimmering puppy eyes on her apprentice,
Lisa slumped her shoulders, tightlipped, shutting her eyes and escaped a warm sigh before nodding her head in response. "Don't say I didn't warned you about this."
"I do."
Jihyo and Lisa exchanged a trusting gestures at one another before Jihyo took another try, pressing the button to teleport herself again into a different time, location and setting for a repeat she can't even count from all the fingers in her hands on how many she took a time travelling.
She monitored YN approaching her who's inside the car, but... Jihyo's forehead crumpled and eyebrows knitted in complete disordered perspective when she began observing something... strange.
YN stopped her tracks, only inches away from her peeking out of the window.
She watched YN looking around the neighborhood, her eyes even contacted at the spot where Jihyo is but she just swiftly lured her sight away at the unknown.
"YN?", Jihyo called her name but left no reply from the latter.
YN looked at the time from her wristwatch and sighed. "That little brat. She pranked me again."
Jihyo's confusion grew larger, assuming that YN doesn't see her at all when in fact, their gap is very narrow for them to reach theirselves.
"YN? YN?! HEY, I'M HERE!", Jihyo kept shouting at YN, hoping that atleast her presence will be felt and seen but to no avail.
"W-what's going on...", Jihyo panickedly cupped both her head and rubbed her hair on the sides as she's trying to process what kind of phenomenon is blocking her once again from confessing her feelings to Jihyo.
As she tried to reach and touch YN by expanding her arm to her, YN instead began walking away from her; supposedly returning back inside her house with a dissatisfied and annoyed feeling on her for not seeing any traces of YN in front of her residence.
"YN! DON'T GO!", Jihyo opened the door to hop out and try chasing the oblivious YN when all of a sudden the land they're stepping in began crumbling and wind hitting them strongly, causing them both to become alarmed and terrified at the instant earthquake intensified right at the moment.
Jihyo leaned at the car to gain support from her stance as she felt dizzy from the vibration and impact of the shaking ground while YN crashed on her knees, unable to maintain her balance.
"YN!"
She tried to help her friend, attempting to run her feet straight through her until the skies began switching colors from a dull grey and black into a bright blue and yellow, with the manner having it perceived as if everything is glitching around them.
The land splits into two, tearing both of them away from each other. Jihyo watched the ground began to float as well the what it looked like underneath her, which is nothing but also a glitching appearance of their entire background.
"J-JIHYO?!", Jihyo heard someone called her name, who's none other than YN staring at her in a dreadful expression.
She got somehow relieved that YN can finally see but how could she forgot how bad of a timing it occured as now they're witnessing each other and the entire world around them shattering into pieces.
Speculating that the warnings Jihyo received from Lisa ended up becoming true, now that she's about to experience what must've felt like having the whole reality she's seeing got slowly destroyed all because of her.
"YN!", Jihyo returned the name calling.
"WHAT'S GOING ON?!
"I DON'T KNOW EITHER BUT STAY THERE, OKAY?!", Jihyo yelled at YN who followed her instructions.
Jihyo reaches for the time controller on the passenger's seat and hurriedly pressed the button to restart everything again.
It failed.
She pressed again.
No good.
She went into a rage spamming on the button in sync with the repeated cursing and pleading under her breath that it'll work.
It didn't.
Jihyo screamed in terror as she realized that the glitching and disturbed reality seems like it's shrinking carefully and it made her jump onto the conclusion that she believe they will end up being crushed by it.
"No... no, this can't be. I- I DIDN'T MEANT FOR ANY OF THIS TO HAPPEN!", JIhyo panic-stricken, grabbing YN's attention even more.
"I JUST WANTED TO BE WITH HER!!!", waterfall of tears pouring out from her cheeks as she screamed in anguish at the weird skies above her.
"JIHYO, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?!", Jihyo turned her head towards YN who looks very pitiful in her condition being all alone and terrified of the disaster she's about to accept.
As much as she want to do something, she can't. Lisa won't be able to save her since she's in a different period of time so the only solution she has in her was the controller... but it became unresponsive, leaving Jihyo facing the unknown.
A couple of inches remaining in distance from each of them, the unwell and shifting reality enveloped them altogether. Jihyo and YN's discomfort and horrible demeanor reached it's breaking point as the only thing they can do is to keep screaming in utter horror and desperate for help.
"NO.... NO... YN!", the walls of the reality pushed them, causing the measurement of the space between each other to lessen.
"JIHYO!!!", the pieces of the land they're stepping in finally compressed, and without any hesitation they immediately hugged together for one last time.
"NO... DON'T TAKE HER AWAYYYY!"
And then, Jihyo's begging screams echoed before everything disappears.
Jihyo opened her eyes, feeling nothing but herself floating at... nothing. All she can see it null and void. Black being the only existent color she can see around her.
No signs of YN, it urged her to got hit by a massive realization that not only she failed...but it left a complete destruction and extinction of the world she's living in, including the very important and special person in her whole life: YN.
She did prevented her to end up with her wife, but it costs her not letting her able to live the life she preferred to rather share happiness and love with.
She went for the worst instead for the better.
She lost everything.
She lost YN.
To pay for the sins she caused, it truly is deserving for her to be left all along in such a blank space. Leave her to die, she thought.
"No...no.... no.... I'm so sorry, YN...", Jihyo began crying hard again as she covered her face with both of her palms.
An unknown length of time she spent floating in mid-air of nothing, she unconsciously stared at nowhere with a blank and colorless expression in her face.
Her unbotheredness was broken when suddenly, a familiar voice speaks out from her behind.
"I assumed you learnt your lesson then.", Jihyo used her remaining force within her to turn herself around and face the owner of that voice.
It was Lisa, but her entire appearence looks very unnatural, ethereal and heavenly...
... because this ain't the same student and aspiring scientist Lisa Manoban she knew from before.
Instead, the Lisa floating in front of her now whilst wearing a white elegant and alluring dress exposing her well-built curvy figure is the god-like counterpart of the Lisa she's close with.
"L-Lisa?", Jihyo's face somewhat brightened as she recognized the unearthly woman talking to her.
"Jihyo-ssi.", Lisa smiled timidly.
"Y-you're alive... b-but why are y-"
"I may be the same as your bestfriend but also... I'm not.", Lisa clarified. "Your Lisa is now dead, and I'm honestly sad to know that my version is now gone too soon."
"V-version?"
"So... now you, more than everyone else finally understand that meddling with time and reality would only result in chaos and destruction.", Lisa avoided Jihyo's confusion, saving the reveal later.
Jihyo frowned in guilt, knowing that's exactly what she should remember from now on, yet the only question is... for what? She doesn't have anything to do here. She's trapped in this prison she made for herself.
"As much as I want to help you, I cannot interfere. It's your destiny not to involved in a romantic relationship with YN, because you and her are only limited from crossing that boundary."
"I knew everything what you did and I have to admit... you surely did messed up a lot.", Lisa sarcastically reacted.
"Breaking the sole universe of where you live in-"
"Wait, UNIVERSE?"
"Yeah, you think you only made Earth pop like a bubble?", Lisa raised her eyebrow. "No, silly. You eradicted the entire galaxy because of how stubborn and arrogant you are."
Jihyo winced at the another scolding she got. Harsh words stabbed her straight in the feels because Lisa spat all those truth like an acid to her.
"It wasn't m-my... intention, I swear.", Jihyo muttered. "I knew what I did was wrong... but I never wanted to affect others on my own deed."
"I know, and that's why I'm here."
Jihyo's curiously was piqued.
"For?"
Lisa started to floated around on Jihyo who remained motionless. "Like what I said, you destroying the entire universe by a mortal like you definitely placed a lot of heavy toll within Gods like me."
"A god of what?"
"Gods of Redemption.", Lisa declared. "We're in charge of granting every being in this planet to have second chances, only and if necessary... the scenario is too unreversable to the mortal's hands... that being, death and if that being is very sincere and willingly to make something right again.
... which led me to you, Jihyo-ssi."
"The higher ranking Gods, ofcourse they didn't took it really well. They even almost finalized that they want to have you set up through an instant punishment, banishing your existence with their combined power so that you'll suffer the same as what you did along with your universe.", Jihyo's eyes widened and gulped at how terrifying and intimidating these Gods are.
"However, through my method of convincing; lucky you were spared from the doomsday you're about to meet.", Lisa added.
"Look, I know that you didn't intended to destroy everything but I just can't help but to be a little frustrated at you.", she pointed at Jihyo who remained speechless.
"You were warned, but this crazy little thing called love couldn't set you free isn't it?"
"Yeah."
Lisa clicked her tongue irritably. "Well, we can't do anything about it. What's done is done. But... I figured a way to have you atleast serve a purpose not only for us... but for your own too."
"W-what is it?", Jihyo questioned.
"But first, are you willing to make things right everything first?"
Jihyo lowered her head and clasped her hands together to pose herself as if she's praying and begging for it. "Yes! Please. I'll do everything not to make mistakes this time."
Lisa shushed Jihyo, interrupting her pleadings. "No, scratch that part. Our life won't be complete if we don't make mistakes for us to improve further."
"Oh, yeah... s-sorry.", Jihyo apologized. "Okay, y-yes. I'll do my best to think of my actions first."
"That's better.", Lisa expressed her satisfaction. "Well, I won't be asking you anymore if you're willing to sacrifice your existence because... your universe came first before you so, are you ready to follow me?", she spreaded her arm and presented her free hand, directing it at Jihyo for her to accept.
"To where?", Jihyo innocently asked as she stared at the inviteful Lisa.
Lisa smiled before replying at the lonely scientist.
"To your new home."
Jihyo erased all the doubts she has within her, sensing that this Lisa has closely no differences with the one she used to know when it comes to their personality.
She also analyzed that she was right anyways, saving her from the combined wrath of the higher ranking Gods surely made Jihyo owe this Goddess Lisa a lot not only for her safety, but for another opportunity to have her life achieve a new and hopefully... an improved meaning and role in her life.
Jihyo gently reached for Goddess Lisa's hand and locked onto it, twirling her fingers and strengthened her hold as she watched Lisa gestured a trusting nod before they were covered in a blinding goldlish light, escaping the lifeless and ruptured universe of hers.
A few moments later, Jihyo and Lisa arrived in a place that surely does a great representation of what a paradise looks like.
Jihyo's mouth agaped, eyelids sprung upwards and face stretched in shock an surprise as she looked around at the new and most unique place she has ever seen in her entire life.
The structures, neither tall nor short are all white, a clean and refreshing air where the cotton-like fogs flowing through everywhere around on what it seems to be a town; contributing to the heavenly features of the place.
The people residing were wearing gold and white attires, only a thin cloth covering their bodies and every single one of them looks very appealing.
There's no vehicles to be seen around, since the people have the ability to fly through their angelic wings around and use it as their way of transportation around this place.
Jihyo learnt from Lisa that she was brought to this universe only occupied by the children of the Highness himself, the leader, the chief and the savior of all eternal and holy beings in this universe. "String theory... multi-dimensional reality... matter displacement, they're... they're all real?", she said to herself in awe.
They headed across the scared hall of the Holy Council, where the higher-ups has the pleasure to meet the mastermind and the sinner who is the main responsible for the destruction of one of the universe across the infinite numbers of the other universes scattered all over the galaxy.
Lisa repeated her request and pleads from the higher-up, which led from a short discussion and review of the judgment they're about to make.
Fortunately, they achieved all of their approval; and it resulted for Jihyo to be accepted and welcomed to stay in this unknown world full of gods and goddesses, only to pass a test that will be given to her first to prove if she's a worthy addition to their blessed land.
Because of that, it delivered a required new changes from Jihyo herself. She can't be a morttal anymore as she has to take her new responsibilities and duties to prove herself a worthy God Of Redemption just like Lisa.
She transformed from a devastated, lonely scientist to an almighty godly being.
She was tasked on her first ever service, and that is to guide all the 9 different multiverses assigned to her by Lisa.
Recently, her first mission was sent when she received a distress signal from one of the universes she's guarding.
She discovered that in this one, YN is a male assassin who both lost his wife and daughter in a brutal murder inside their house in the middle of the woods where they are hiding.
Jihyo watched how YN struggled in her guilt, longing and grief of losing all of his loved ones... until she decided to appear and offered him a chance of help after she made her research learning that in another universe, his wife... who was the same person her original YN married together with.
Her name is Sana and both of them lost theirselves in a tragic scenario, which on the other hand Sana lost YN in an unexpected car accident.
The first time she saw the assassin counterpart YN, she tried to keep her composure steady to not let out a different reaction of seeing another version of her beloved YN and stay still on being dedicated to her new embraced role as a God Of Redemption.
It pained Jihyo a lot, ofcourse. Secretly watching the huge grin and overload of sadness and longing he felt when he got to meet Sana again for the second time made her somehow wish she could experience the same and stand in Sana's position.
Tumblr media
Seeing that she will never have a chance to make YN fall in love with her even at every different universes along with the mistake she had done was an effective hard slap for her to woke up in the reality this time.
Her feelings for YN still remains in her heart, sometimes she uses it to secretly admire her male counterpart whenever he's asleep every night on the new universe Jihyo teleported him.
But on one night, she came to visit YN with another agenda.
She squatted beside the male YN's sleeping figure on the bed and traced his facial features even this version couldn't fail to make Jihyo go head over heels too and showcase the bisexuality effects on her.
Combing his hair with gentle stroke from the gaps of her slender, shining fingers, Jihyo smiled bitterly at the look of YN sleeping peacefully.
"You're still attractingly handsome even if you're a man.", she whispered, not leaving her sight away at YN.
"I promise, this time... I'll make you happy. As much as I want to be the one with you to share with, I know I can't... because you'll never be mine.", Jihyo's teardrop fell from YN's cheek.
"I'll still give it to you. You deserve and earned every special things, whether it may be big or small. Always for a wonderful person like you. That's how you meant so much to me, YN", her lips shuddered as she forces herself not to sob heavily from the hurtful heartbreak she's trying to heal and forget these days.
She placed her last kiss of acceptance for her destined fate on YN's lips before she slowly vanished away and returned from her private universe.
Jihyo successfully completed her first mission by being true to her words, making YN happy by having him reconcile with the another version of Sana.
She bid goodbye to them and headed back to her universe where she teleported right away in front of a massive and enchanted chapel being one of the main highlights of the entire town, along with the council hall where the higher-ups are slated.
Jihyo saw Lisa who's talking nicely with her other fellow guests and gods and politely excused herself to grab the attention of her friend.
"Oh, Jihyo-ssi! You made it on time!", Lisa pleasantly greeted her. "How's your very first mission?"
Jihyo blushed and smiled widely, hinting the victorious accomplishment she achieved. "They're back together now."
"Great!", Lisa clapped her hands in glee. "Congrats on completing your first mission! I'm sure the elders would be really happy to hear this such good news from you. Even better, you are now really proving that you can belong with us!"
"I am honored and overwhelmed if they confirm it.", Jihyo sweetfully smiled.
"Tsk, humble. I'm sure they will.", Lisa bounced her eyebrows as she said it confidence.
"Oh! By the way... someone wants to see you.", Lisa's face brightened up when she remembered the reminder given to her by that someone.
"Who?"
"Find it out yourself, she wants you to meet her on the balcony near the garden."
"She?"
Jihyo furrowed her eyebrows, trying to think of a possible identity of this mysterious being wanting to involve a conversation with her alone.
"What are waiting for? Go! The wedding's about to start in 10 minutes!", Lisa pushed Jihyo to hurriedly make her move her feet and ran to find this someone.
After asking courteously to some strangers around the chapel, the directions led her finally to the balcony to the garden where she saw a figure of a woman standing in her elegant and stupendous white dress in the middle of the marble railing.
Her long, curly brown hair organized with the assist of the matching white hairband is dancing with the waves of the fresh, clean air.
Jihyo can only see her alluring exposed milky, smooth skin of her back facing her until the mysterious woman rotated her body.
Jihyo couldn't react any other than to be bewildered and let her emotions arise in an instant.
Tumblr media
It was the goddess counterpart of YN, standing from a slight distance in front of her, smiling softly at the view of the taken aback woman in her eyes.
"You finally showed up.", YN said with her usual gentle and tender voice.
"Y-YN?"
She nodded and smiled. "It's nice to see you... well technically I should say "again", Jihyo."
Jihyo stood frozen in her spot, still in disbelief that she's seeing another version of YN, in this one it looks very alike the same woman she loved for the longest time.
Not to mention, this goddess YN looks so more unbelievably beautiful.
"I knew what happened from Lisa. She told me everything.", YN began to explain, as she slowly approached the shocked Jihyo.
"You never had a chance to properly talk with me and released everything that you're carrying in your chest so... I thought of setting a perfect schedule where I could make it finally happen for you."
"I... I had to convince Sana for a while to let me allow to talk with you and gladly she did."
"So... Jihyo, anything you wanna say for me?", YN said, locking her hand altogether behind her back as she waited patiently.
Jihyo cleared her throat and closed her eyes for a few second before opening it.
"This is indeed real, she's here", she muttered.
"I-I am.", Jihyo stuttered nervously. She didn't wasted any longer time as she began saying her apology speech.
"YN... first and foremost, I just want to say sorry. For everything that I caused which led me to this.
Not that I'm sounding like I'm complaining about it, I'm just being conscious and minding still about the horrible truth behind all of these.
I... I admit that I became very desperate, selfish, arrogant, impulsive anything you want to call me that urged me to abuse my creation just to forcefully repeat that past that I regretted the most which I could never change.
From the bottom of my heart and soul, I sincerely apologize for the disturbance and misery I brought to your counterpart that I loved so deeply, YN.
But... since, all of you are just sharing the same identity of YN... I guess I could say the same thing I've been wanting to say for so long on you too."
Jihyo stepped forward, inching closer at YN who stared at her actions but freely lets the woman to proceed on doing so, understandably accepting why she has to do this.
"I love you. I love you in every universe, YN", Jihyo stared at YN's hypnotizing eyes as she swayed some strands of hairs behind the ear of YN before switching her hands to place it upon the plump cheeks of her lover.
Tumblr media
YN sighed heavily and smiled softly at the heartwarming message of her bestfriend and admirer.
But then, Jihyo's lips shifted to a frown. "But you're not mine... and I will never be yours, because that's what our fate dictates us so."
"I learned my lesson now, and after quite some time of recovering... I have no other choice but to do the only right option.
I have to let you go and be with Sana forever and after but... rest assured that I'll do my best to live with my promise, and that is to make you happier than you'll ever be eternally.", Jihyo reached for YN's hand and carefully squeezed it.
She gave the top a peck of her kiss before patting the spot and clenched it on her hold as she released the engaged woman's hand.
"I already forgave you, Jihyo. I'm just waiting for this time to declare it to you.", YN confessed to her which broke Jihyo's watery eyes to shed a wet path of teardrops full of joy down her cheek.
"You already succeeded your redemption arc, and I have nothing more to say than to express how much I'm proud of you from correcting your mistakes and didn't brought harm from anyone this time."
"Don't worry, Jihyo. You made me happy. You made Sana happy too, including Lisa. I just hope you're feeling the same too."
"I-I am very happy too, especially for you, YN.", Jihyo confirmed, nodding her head rapidly as she smiled with her face still stained and messy due to the tears of joy she shed. "Congratulations on getting married today, by the way."
YN chuckled, wiping also her watery eyes off. "Yeah, thank you so much Jihyo. Appreciated it, really."
"I'm relieved that you can tell the same too for yourself, Jihyo.", YN nodded and beamed.
"Before we go back inside, since we knew both that things didn't ended quite well between us..."
YN presented her pinky finger at Jihyo which the latter looked at it adorably.
"Do you accept my invitation for you to join me rewind our friendship together, Jihyo-ssi?"
Without thinking twice, Jihyo hooked her own pinky finger at YN's.
"I'm in for a new beginning, YN.", she grinned.
Jihyo and YN immediately crashed their bodies for a tight, warm, caring and comfortable hug which made Jihyo unable to resist pulling back her tears to come out by how she missed having this kind of moment with YN so much.
After that, YN looked at the huge antique clocktower for the time. Realizing that they only have 3 minutes to prepare, she let's go from the embrace and both of them looked at each other.
"Let's go?"
Jihyo nodded readily.
While they're walking straight back inside the chapel, YN initiated one last short topic in assurance for them to talk about.
"How's my counterpart that you were tasked by Lisa sent from the elders?"
"All good now, YN. He's been saved."
Jihyo cheered good luck on YN, waved off at one another as they went on to their respective spots: in front of the altar and one of the chairs where all of the guests are seated.
While they're waiting for the bride to come out, a golden purse suddenly fell from Jihyo's feet.
She was about to lower down and reach it when she noticed that another hand also touched the extravagant belonging.
Jihyo looked at the person who also did the same as she caught her eyes, and she wasn't lying to herself when she mentally stated that this girl looks so beautiful.
In result, both of them just lifted off the purse together and Jihyo instantly pulled back her hand, allowing the woman to recover her property.
"S-sorry for the inconvenience...", the short black haired woman said shyly.
"It's n-nothing. I'll take it r-randomly.", Jihyo assured.
Jihyo was about to focus herself back on waiting but the out of nowhere desire to continue talking to this very interesting woman made her disregard it.
"S-sorry, I just wanna ask. How come you became one of the guests today? Are you close with the newlyweds?", Jihyo curiously asked.
"Yes. Sana's my bestfriend and I'm pretty close now with YN too."
"Oh...", Jihyo expressed her satisfication  to that information.
"And you?
"I'm friends with YN.", the stranger nodded, lips formed an "o" shape.
"I haven't introduced myself yet, didn't I?", Jihyo sheepishly chuckled. "I'm Jihyo. Park Jihyo."
"I'm Jeongyeon. Yoo Jeongyeon.", the bobbed cut haired woman accepted her offer of handshake welcomely.
Unbeknownst to both of them, they finally met the right person for each other to love along with across the other multiverses where every counterparts of Jihyo and Jeongyeon were either soon to encounter each other in the middle of their paths or already living happily together no matter what happens.
Tumblr media
And that's that!
For those male readers of mine out here who decided to still read this one-shot until the end despite the story having female readers as the protagonist just to view the plot twist at the ending, I appreciate the consideration so much.
Now yall understand why I made the male readers also read this.
Yes, this entire one-shot is a prequel from my previous work from Set 3 which is the Sana x M (Male) Reader one-shot titled "The Multiversal Redemption Arc". It was the second most voted story in Set 3 after Mina x M (Male) Reader- "Unconditionally".
This one simply explored and explained Jihyo's origin on how and what led her become to be the Almighty God Of Redemption who helped the male reader reunite with Sana back in MRA.
For my female readers, if you haven't seen MRA on Set 3, I suggest to read it so that all of you could understand what just happened and the connection of Rewind to MRA. However, it's a male reader one... so I'll leave it up to you guys if you'll still take a peek there and pretend yourselves as an ooposite gender of yourself.
I hope you guys liked the twist I did and especially, if you guys enjoyed this latest work of mine so far.
See ya! - Knight

Writer's Block (Obey Me!) fanfic
content: The talented artist and goth Maycee is having trouble writing anything. So she goes to Leviathan for some one on one chatting. Which ends in both of them in a bathtub to just make a different kind of art. Established relationships, casual talk, discussion of artistic violence and gore, romance.
I had been staring at my laptop for what felt like an eternity. The screen showing that word document was open to a completely blank page. Making me glare at the screen as someone walked up to me from behind. Mammon soon kneeling over my shoulder as his hand ruffled my hair. "Oi. Maycee. You haven't moved from the couch since dinner. Might wanna vacate before Lucifer comes back."
I snapped my laptop shut to turn and give Mammon his expected kiss on the cheek he was still lingering to get. making him blush and grin before I packed up to move out. Yet my steps did not take me to my own room. I headed for Leviathan's bedroom to tap the doorknob. Magic having the door unlock for me to open it and then knock. Our signal so as to not interrupt whatever Leviathan was doing. So he didn't do anything but wave a hand as I walked in to then close and lock his door. My steps having me hop into his bathtub as I stared at his fish tanks. His computer soon abandoned for him to make his way to me and look a mixture of shy and hopeful. "Hey Maycee. How did the writing session go?"
I scowled to shake my head and heave a heavy sigh of air. "It didn't happen. I got no words onto the page. Mammon had to shoo me from my solitude so Lucifer didn't catch my making no progress." Leviathan sighed for his one hand to rub at the back of his neck. "Ouch. I have the same issue whenever I want to write a scathing or excited review on a game or hit anime. Mind just goes flatline for me to be a zombie with no working fingers to type."
Leviathan knelt down to put his crossed arms over the rim of the bathtub. His tail soon swaying behind him as I gazed at his demon form. I had said early on in my stay for all the demons to look like demons. I wanted to see them as they were and not hide their uniqueness. So I had come to truly love and savor this family and this home. So I smiled at Leviathan with genuine affection. "Lev. I had a dream the other night. One where we were living in my childhood home. Or trying to in any case. You kept getting your horns caught on doorframes. Lucifer had to tuck his wings in every time he moved anywhere. Else he'd bump into a counter or cabinet in the kitchen. Belphegor got his tail caught in a closet door. While I was just as stuck as the rest of you. Since I was some kind of Skeleton Demon with exposed ribs and dripping blood."
Leviathan made a face of fascination before he flinched to note, "That sounds very weird and slightly slasher movie. I bet that one part came from you finishing your artwork sketch of that painting of the anatomical heart. Or did you start a new piece of a ribcage ripped open for the collage?" I snickered to note with great amusement, "No. But I like that idea. I wanted to do a neon cyberpunk color theme for the next piece. So that would look fantastic with what you just suggested for a next piece." Leviathan smiled to then shiver all over. "You tend to make the most horrific yet gorgeous works of art when it comes to anatomy. It honestly disturbed me the few time I saw your works online. Yet every piece is so fascinating and on point, it makes you want to study them."
My smile spreads into a grin as I note, "Asmodeus still can't scroll through the gallery without having his skin crawl. Solomon had to pick him up off the floor after I showcased that one painting of a dragon skeleton zombified. Asmodeus was out for an hour in a dead faint. But he did love my little neon skull pin I made for him later on." Leviathan smirked to nod. "The ones you made that glow in the dark for each of us. I love mine. You used our colors for each one. But I absolutely adore the Ruri-chan zombie sculpture you made me."
The two of us turn to look at the sculpture in question. One I did of his much loved Ruri-chan in a blood saturated evening gown. An obvious zombie with an exposed brain, green skin, and her heart held out to the viewer in offering. Her grin wide and eyes glowing as she poses for the viewer to offer her love to her best fan. Leviathan looked back to me to then reach out and oh so gently tap my nose with his finger. "I knew the second you showed up in full goth fashion we would be in for a wild exchange program. But I was so glad that you were open and bold with your gamer lingo and artistic flare. Having you here has made each and every day a fun carnival ride, Maycee. You make Satan laugh so hard he cries. You joke with Belphegor and have him want to stay awake for what comes next in the day. Beelzebub adores you. Lucifer actually grins when you make a cynical comment to whoever decided to get on his case. Asmodeus is warming up to you. Despite how he still laments on your choice of goth makeup and fashion sense. Mammon loves it when you collab on his photo shoots. We're a family filled with love from a masterful artist and macabre soul."
My chuckle is rich as Leviathan leans in closer. So I give his cheek eyelash kisses before I place a real kiss on his lips. Making him squeak to then hum a deep and rich rumble of pure enjoyment. His tail going nuts behind him as he sighs into my face. "Direct crit, Maycee. Now I don't want to have us co-op that new expansion on our online game." My hum is one of devious intentions as I tell him with rich hunger, "We do the snu snu? That means you help me cleanse my face of all this goth makeup. Unless you want everyone to know we got up to love in an elevator again after your clothes get stained." Leviathan blushed as red as possible to stammer a few things. But he soon decided to gulp and carefully crawl into the bathtub with me. Setting aside my laptop as his eyes started to glow with fierce desire. "Maycee. I can't wait. Sorry. But my willpower broke already. Just don't hate me when I leave marks on you."

just a little bit // heeseung (ENHYPEN)
Tumblr media
pairing: heeseung x fem!reader (established relationship)
genre: fluff // warning: nothing! // wc: ~1k
summary: your boyfriend Heeseung has a habit of not bringing a bag anywhere he goes. today, you face the consequences.
author’s note: alright before I release the spicier stuff, enjoy this sweet little heeseung fic I wrote right after I watched the 2nd episode of JAY'S FASHION. I mean, this sort of scenario is bound to happen, right?? if you liked this, don't forget to reblog, leave some feedback, or maybe even visit me in my askbox. have a lovely day!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Y/N was staring at her phone as she tapped her finger on the table. Her cup of latte was already half empty, and she had been playing games on her phone to kill time.
I really should kill him instead, Y/N thought.
She noticed movement from the corner of her eyes and as she glanced, she saw Heeseung making his way through the tables towards her spot. He had that usual sheepish smile he would put on whenever he feels shy or guilty or both.
“I am so sorry for making you wait,” he said as he kissed the top of Y/N’s head and took his seat in front of her. “Do you want to stay here or should we go?”
It had been a habit for Heeseung to make Y/N slightly upset, only to lift her up a second after without even giving her the chance to respond or even process her disappointment. Y/N thought it was a blessing and a curse that she could not stay mad at him.
Y/N shrugged and put her phone down. “I’ve been sitting here for an hour.”
“I’m sorry,” said Heeseung. “I’ll make it up to you. Where do you want to go? Just drag me around and I promise I won’t complain.”
Y/N raised an eyebrow. This was new. Heeseung wasn’t the type to complain, but usually it would show on his face whenever he felt bored or tired of being dragged around the mall or any place.
“I need to get some cleaning stuff for home, and then I want to check out the sales everywhere.”
“Yes, Ma’am.”
And with that the two of them stood up. Before they left the café, Heeseung, with that sheepish smile again, stopped Y/N.
“What?”
“I didn’t bring a bag.”
“I can see that,” Y/N seemed annoyed.
“Can I put my stuff in yours? It’s just car keys. And my Bluetooth earphones. And my phone,” Heeseung was smiling and this time his eyes sparkled.
Y/N sighed. What else was she supposed to do? As Heeseung conveniently put his belongings in Y/N’s tote bag, she started thinking of getting him a bag for his upcoming birthday, but then she thought he would end up not using it, and the bag would probably be handed down to Jay.
Eventually, the two of them went around the place and did everything they had to do. After an hour and a half just shopping and browsing stuff, Heeseung had to excuse himself to the restrooms. Y/N decided she would look around some more before they went home.
But Y/N walked too far from the restrooms, and she realized she hadn’t seen Heeseung for quite a while. She reached for her phone and was about to unlock it, but saw a picture of herself as her lock screen. It was Heeseung’s phone.
“Oh, right. Shit.”
There was no other way to find Heeseung other than call him, and somehow going to the information desk at the mall seemed too much of a hassle, so Y/N just stood there for a while thinking where Heeseung might be.
She went to the restrooms and knocked on the men’s door. Nobody replied, so she opened it slightly and called for Heeseung, but she didn’t find him there.
She went to the area where they last saw each other, but the place was almost empty except for a couple that was browsing clothes.
She went to the café where she waited for him earlier that day, but it was full and she couldn’t see Heeseung anywhere.
After walking here and there, Y/N gave up. She was holding both her phone and Heeseung’s, and she just decided to sit near the atrium of the mall where everything is open, and anyone from anywhere can see people sitting there in the middle.
A couple minutes later, Heeseung appeared, walking towards Y/N with his hands in his pocket. Again, with that sheepish smile. Y/N wanted to punch him in the face.
“I left my phone with you,” he said, smiling widely.
“Heeseung, I want to punch you in the teeth,” said Y/N, tossing his phone over to him.
Heeseung burst out laughing but still managed to safely catch his phone. As he did, Y/N saw that he was actually holding something in one hand.
“When I went out the restrooms I saw you were still browsing stuff, so I left to get this, but when I got back you were gone.”
Y/N just sat there staring up at Heeseung. Instead of sitting next to her, Heeseung knelt in front of her.
“Now what the fuck are you doing?” Y/N hissed. Heeseung laughed.
“Easy. It’s just a bracelet. Let me put it on.”
Heeseung gently lifted Y/N’s hand and put the bracelet on her wrist. It was the silver bracelet Y/N had had her eyes on for months. As Heeseung set her hand carefully back on her lap, Y/N lifted her hand slightly to admire the single emerald in the middle.
“Looks gorgeous on you,” said Heeseung, finally taking a seat next to Y/N.
“So this is how it’s gonna be? Every time you disappear, you come back with a bribe?” asked Y/N.
“I’m lucky I kept my wallet with me. Do you like it?” Heeseung asked back, hopeful.
Y/N did not want to make this a habit, but it was really hard concealing her real feelings, so she just grabbed Heeseung’s arm and put her head on his shoulder.
“I was worried,” she said, almost a whisper.
Heeseung chuckled. “I’m a big boy, I won’t get lost.”
“You made me wait again.”
“I know, I’m sorry,” Heeseung ruffled Y/N’s hair with his free hand.
“I’m getting you a bag for your birthday. You have to wear it,” Y/N said this and looked up to Heeseung, resting her chin on his shoulder.
Heeseung said okay before turning to give Y/N a peck on the lips, but Y/N pulled away, leaving Heeseung hanging.
“Oh, come on, babe,” Heeseung pouted.
“We’re in public,” Y/N made a lame excuse.
“Just a little bit,” said Heeseung.
Y/N scoffed and ended up giving Heeseung a kiss herself. Heeseung became all giddy.
“Seriously, though, please don’t do that again,” said Y/N as they stood up and intertwined their hands.
“I’ll try,” Heeseung brought Y/N’s hand up to his lips and kissed the back of her hand. “But if it happens again, don’t worry. I’ll always find my way back to you.”

PAIRING: Witch!Karl Jacobs x GN!Reader
SUMMARY: You get caught in the rain and Karl comforts you. That’s it. That’s the fic.
WARNINGS: Mild language
A/N: Hey y’all! First installment for the Halloween series (insert confetti and streamers here)! This is a bit lighter to start with, but the series will gradually ease into more horror elements. I’m very happy to be posting this, so I hope that you guys enjoy it ‘:)
Tumblr media
It is a truth universally acknowledged that the weather did not give two shits about being convenient. The weather does not care about you, your kid’s soccer game, your new job interview, or whatever sporting event you might want to attend. It’s the weather- it’s not sentient, no matter what (some) people might say.
So, there’s only so much you can blame it when you forget your umbrella at home.
You closed the apartment door behind you with a kick, exerting enough force the rattle the picture frames. The grocery bags hanging from your arms felt ten times heavier than they normally did, and you groaned as you let them fall to the floor with a thunk. Water dripped off the plastic, pooling into the floors.
No doubt your neighbors would complain, but at that moment you didn’t care. You just wanted the day to be over.
If you had to hazard a guess as to what you might look like right now, you would say something akin to a drowned rat. Your clothes, your grocery bags- seemingly every part of you had been soaked. All because of a sudden rain shower right as you were leaving the corner store.
You tipped your head back and groaned. Damn it.
To be honest, today had not been one of your best days. First, you had slept through your alarm, launching you into a mad scramble out the door in an attempt to get to work on time. You hadn’t, and consequently had to sit through your boss’s entire lecture on ‘proper work ethic’ and ‘respecting your job’.
Then, one of your coworkers was sick, so you and the rest of the poor sods on your shift had to scramble in order to complete their missing colleague's work as well as their own.
Finally, as you’d mentioned before, you’d been caught in a rain shower right as you left the grocery store. Seeing as it was several blocks away from your building, you had the same chance of remaining dry that a kindergarten teacher has with corralling a horde of overwrought children; none.
Your tiny studio apartment was a sight for sore eyes, despite the fact that it was, well… tiny. Only about 750 square feet, if you were remembering correctly.
The room that greeted you was dim and bathed with swathes of gray, only barely illuminated by the weak light that filtered in through the windows. Rain pattered gently against the glass, filling the space with a placid ambiance.
The blankets on your couch were still in disarray from how you’d torn through them to get to your bag in a rush to get to work; some of them were left half on the ground, pathetically sprawled across the thin rug that padded the small living room.
Behind it, unseparated from the living room, your bed wasn’t much better. Your pillows had somehow been knocked off the mattress and were pinned between it and the nightstands, exploding out from the small space in a kerfluffle of white and cream. A seal plush- a favorite of yours- stared accusatorily at you from where it was perched at the foot of the bed.
Toeing off your soggy shoes, you flopped onto your couch with a heavy sigh. The old springs squeaked as you rolled onto your side, arms flopping limply over the edge of the cushion. You sighed. Stared dead-eyed at your reflection in the empty TV screen. Then you reached into your pocket for your phone, the screen damp, but relatively untouched.
There was one person that you could always turn to whenever the universe decided to screw you over. The same person that had been your best friend since high school- that had stuck by your side through messy breakups and college finals.
Karl. 
You slid open your messages, fingers moving on muscle memory toward the most recently texted contact on your phone.
You just now hey :(((
It only took a few seconds for his chat bubble to pop up, and within a few moments, your screen vibrated with a notification.
Karl 🥺💜 just now hello???? are you ok???? :(
You just now i got caught in the storm and now i’m all wet and all my groceries are all wet and it sucks :(
You frowned, shifting. You were getting water all over the couch.
Karl 🥺💜 just now oh gosh
You just now yeah </3 can you call me? please?
True to form, it barely took a second before your phone rang, belting out the main title theme for ‘Adventure Time’. Karl’s icon was magnified as it popped into view- a blurred-to-hell selfie of the two of you, taken at some college party that you’d attended. You were both laughing.
“I’m literally going to beat up the sky right now.”
You couldn’t help your snort.
“Hello to you too, Karl.”
“I’m not kidding. I’ll beat it up. It’ll wish it never even thought about making you wet.”
“Really?” you said. “The sky thinks about that?”
A pause, before he giggled. You could already imagine the flush that must be making its way up his cheeks, painting his face in pretty shades of pink and red. Just hearing his laugh made it impossible to prevent a smile from blooming on your face; it was like a button that flooded your brain with serotonin.
“Oh my god,” he cackled. “You’re literally the worst. You’re supposed- you’re supposed to be sad! I feel lied to.”
Rolling your eyes, the grin that’d stretched across your face lost some of its luster. “Don’t put me into a box, Karl.”
Sensing the undercurrent of exhaustion that permeated your voice, his own softened.
“No, but are you actually okay? ‘Cause it doesn’t sound like it.”
You shifted in place, getting up from the couch and padding toward the kitchen.
“I don’t know,” you murmured. “Part of me wants to lay on the floor and do nothing, but I don’t think that’s doing myself any favors.”
The tile was cold under your feet, and slightly sticky. Opening the cabinet over the sink, you retrieved a glass and filled it with water, shifting the phone so that it was pressed between your shoulder and your ear.
Karl was silent for a moment. In the background, you could hear something (maybe wind rushing?) before he spoke again.
“That really sucks.”
You sighed, shutting off the faucet and downing your glass in one gulp.
“Yeah.”
You grimaced at the suffocating sensation of the fabric of your sweater clinging to your body like a sopping, itchy second skin, and, without hesitation, pulled it off and flung it to the side. It landed on your kitchen counter with a wet ‘shlap’, looking more like a sad squid than an article of clothing as it clung to the granite.
It didn’t do much to help in the end, seeing as the tank top you wore underneath it was soaked as well, but it was progress. Sighing, you pressed your thumbs into your eyes, feeling the residual drops of rain that dropped off your eyebrows and ran down your face.
“I think I’m gonna have to take a shower,” you said. “I’m feeling pretty gross.”
Karl made a soft noise of affirmation. “Oh! Then… we should probably hang up.”
“Uh,” you started, face slackening in surprise. “I don’t have to do it now.”
A rustling noise emanated from the other side of the line, and you could’ve sworn that Karl cursed softly under his breath.
“No, no- don’t let me hold you up.”
Your mouth twisted to the side. It was a bit childish, but… you were hesitant to hang up when you’d only just started speaking. A part of you panged with hurt at Karl’s easy dismissal, but you pushed it aside. He was busy, and you’d called out of the blue- it wasn’t his fault if he was busy.
A finger hovered over the ‘end call’ button. You bit your lip. “Bye.”
“Bye!”
Sighing, you watched as the screen of your phone went dark. So much for that.
Imagine your surprise when, about fifteen minutes later, the doorbell rang.
You paused in the middle of drying your head with a towel, popping your head out of the bathroom and looking toward the source of the noise. Steam curled around your face and clogged the air, filling the rest of the apartment with the scent of tea leaves and lemongrass.
Frowning, you wrapped 
Wrapping the towel around your neck, you crossed your living room with quick strides. You only took a quick moment to check if you were decent before you swung open the door, barely catching it before it slammed into the wall and made a ruckus again.
You blinked, eyebrows shooting up so high they might as well have entered the stratosphere.
“Karl?”
If you didn’t know any better, you would say your best friend was a sentient stack of candles and mason jars instead of a man. His arms overflowed with the things, and you spotted a separate bag that you knew was chock full of more stuff slung from the crook of his arm. The only evidence that he was human were the two long, skinny jean-clad legs that kept the mess upright, and the brown curls that peeked out from over a bottle sealed with wax.
“What are you doing here?” you asked. Then, wrinkling your nose, you paused. “And why did you bring over an entire Hobby Lobby?
“First of all, rude,” he started, and you knew that he would be glaring at you if he could. “How dare you assume I would buy anything from Hobby Lobby?”
“I don’t know. Where else would you get all this stuff?”
He sniffed haughtily. “Wouldn't you like to know, weather boy?”
What.
Before you could process the reference, Karl was barrelling on:
“Second of all! You seemed down over the phone, so I brought stuff to help you cheer up!”
You raised your eyebrows in an expression that might’ve been disbelief if it was anyone else, but it wasn’t. It was Karl.
“Wait- so you drove all the way out here. Twenty minutes from your own place. To cheer me up?”
The same Karl who, incidentally, had revealed to you that he was a witch at the two-year mark of your friendship.
“Duh.”
Now, it was fair to say that you were a naturally skeptical person. In your mind, everything had a proper scientific explanation- even phenomena that might appear supernatural at first. An eerie wail on a ghost-hunting show? Probably the wind! Multiple mythologies about vampires from many different cultures? The fact that wildly different societies throughout history had similarities between their mythologies wasn’t that outlandish, and certainly wasn’t an indication of anything supernatural.
So, naturally, you’d told him to prove it.
Imagine the shock you felt watching as purple-green-white flames danced in the palm of Karl’s hand, fizzling like a firecracker and burning without heat. His eyes, so normally soft and brown, were a kaleidoscopic, whirling mix of every color conceivable. Alight with a power that you could not even begin to understand.
You’d passed out, and Karl had proceeded to freak out until you awoke a few seconds later.
It is a truth acknowledged solely by you that your best friend is magic. The sky is blue, the grass is green, and Karl is a witch.
Lips curling up into a shadow of a grin, you stepped aside, allowing Karl to finally come clanking into your apartment. A jar fell down from the pile, hitting the ground with a loud clink and rolling until it hit the base of your bed frame.
You winced. If the neighbors weren’t going to complain earlier, they definitely were now.
“Oh my God,” you chuckled incredulously, leaning against the back of your couch as you watched him arrange his infernal goodies on top of your coffee table. “You are literally insane.”
Now that his arms were free, you were able to finally see your best friend instead of a walking amalgamation of craft stores. There were three things that had never changed about Karl, no matter how hard he might’ve tried: the unruly, wild tangle of brown curls that fell over his face without regard for his vision, the deep, puppy-like eyes that caught all of your attempts to cheat in Monopoly, and the peach-soft shape of his face.
He was wearing one of his sweaters today- one of the old ones you’d given him while you were still in uni. The fabric that’d once been a vibrant sunflower yellow was reduced to a faded lemon; it was soft with age, covered in mysterious stains, and looked like it was one more wash from coming apart.
Karl shot you a toothy grin. “Yeah.”
Scoffing, you turned so he couldn’t see the helpless smile that spread across your cheeks. What an idiot.
“Seriously, though,” you started, pushing away the butterflies fluttering in your stomach to fix him with a deadpan stare. “You didn’t have to come over, Karl. I know we’re besties, but you don’t need to drop everything to come comfort me. I just hope there wasn’t anything important this time.”
One of the things you’d grown accustomed to throughout your friendship was Karl’s constant need for movement. 
Having arranged all of the things he’d brought over, Karl’s hands were everywhere- playing with the hem of his sweater, tucking in and out of his jean pockets, running through his hair, drumming against his thigh… it went on. However, at your statement, his actions seemed to somehow grow even more frenetic.
You watched curiously as his face pinked, tugging at his collar as if to fan himself. Or hide. You couldn’t meet his gaze, Karl seemingly taking immense interest in the weave of the rug.
Both your eyebrows went back up.
“Karl, is there something important you should be doing right now?”
“I need to renew your wards,” he said, still refusing to meet your accusatory glower. “The full moon’s coming up soon.”
“Karl.”
He looked at you guiltily, looking more like a scolded puppy than an actual adult person, and you sighed. Leaning forward in your seat to pinch the bridge of your nose, you looked up at him through your lashes.
“You are an idiot.”
A sheepish grin. “I’m your idiot, though.”
It didn’t take long for Karl to light all the candles he’d brought, lighting each with the barest flicker of power. The scent of rosemary, lavender, and lemongrass filled the apartment, but it wasn’t suffocating- rather, calming. You weren’t sure how he was able to have so many candles lit at once without giving you a headache, but one day you were going to find out.
The bed dipped under Karl’s weight, protesting shrilly, and you slid towards him another half-inch. His knee pressed into your thigh, but you allowed the contact, much more interested in the stone that he offered to you.
Recognizing it, your eyes curved into half-moons. “Rose quartz?”
“Oooh!,” Karl beamed, eyes blazing purple for a moment before they cooled to their usual dark hue. “You’ve been paying attention!”
You rolled your eyes. “Well, duh. If magic’s important to you, I’m gonna at least try to remember something about it.”
Karl paused, a complicated mixture of emotions twisting over his features, and you took the opportunity to tangle your fingers with his. He flushed again, this time turning an impressive shade of rose.
“Plus, it would be really hard not to, since you ramble about it all the time.”
His jaw dropped, his eyebrows furrowed, and he honestly looked so offended in that moment that you tipped your head back and laughed. You couldn’t find it in yourself to stop, even as he wrested you into a headlock, breathless and endlessly pleased.
“Stoooppp,” he whined, breath heady against the back of your neck. His arms loosened, but instead of pulling away, you tipped back and rested your head against his collarbone, humming.
Karl froze for a moment, then, after a few heartbeats of hesitation, rested his hands against your thighs. You watched them as his fingers began to move, tracing lines and tapping patterns. With every stroke of his skin against yours, glowing white lines, thin as spider silk, were left in the wake.
His head dipped down, hair tickling your cheek, and allowed his lips to press against your temple. You grinned privately to yourself, glancing up to catch the way the corners of his mouth quirked up into a small smile and his eyelashes fluttered against his cheeks.
“Do you want to watch Hocus Pocus?”
Karl startled, flushing to the roots of his hair and abruptly scooting away with a nervous giggle. “Uh- sure? I mean, that sounds good.”
You smiled secretively to yourself at his flustered expression. It might take him a while to admit his crush. He might never. No matter what, you weren’t going to let him go. Not when he was your best friend, and first love.
