OK OK I DID IT. I wrote something,idk why,idk who wanted it (nobody) but here it comes. Tiva present but not really Tiva (it will make sense I promise). I want to thank you @indestinatus cause her prompt list inspired me to try (even if this story isn't about one of them). Sorry for some english mistakes(I don't speak the language as native) and just sorry if the story doesn't make sense š
ok, stop talking now here the story:
MEATBALLS AND PAIN AU CHOCOLAT
Tony was cold. No,not cold,freezing. In addition to the artic temperatures of January,Tony forgot his gloves and scarf at home that morning. He would have given anything to be inside one of the multiples pastry shops sipping on a hot cocoa,one with tiny marshmallow. That was impossible,however,as doing that would mean losing sight of *Littlemeatball* and *LankyRicky*, which were the code names for the two suspects he was following.
It was his professionalism and dedication that was keeping him on that park bench with a red nose that could give Rudolph the reindeer a run for its money and chattering teeth. From that point of view he could see every move of the couple now innocently ice skating,hand in hand, in the middle of the ice rink. The girl,aka Littlemeatball, was the picture of radiance as she laughed to something LankyRicky whispered to her ear. Tony wished he could actually hear what they were talking about but he was too far away so he could only observe their faces mimic and gestures. For example, it was very obvious to his extraordinaire and expert eyes,how LankyRicky was trying to impress the girl by doing some skates tricks he must have practised just for this moment. All the signals were there: cocky smile, muscle flexing,fake humble aura... Tony did it all before(ok maybe he still does). He tried getting close, hiding between the crowd. If he couldn't get close,the data mission was useless,moreover getting closer would assure a faster and more effective intervention if the situation needed it. As he was getting closer,he had to back down when the couple was approaching the ice rink exit. Always laughing the young duo got rid of the skates and headed to the city center,which allowed Tony better camouflage but the same did it to Littlemeatball and LankyRicky. After a ten minutes walk, where DiNozzo was scared he got caught thanks to a shop window reflection and where he had almost lost them when they took a right turn near the McDonald's where a young man playing his guitar created quite a public.
Right now Tony followed the two young partners inside a little cafƩ.
"Oh maybe it's finally time for that chocolate!" Tony tought with sheer relief.
While the two sat and started chatting,Tony carefully chose a table that would allow him some control over the situation.
They were planning some sort of a meeting to LankyRicky's beach house,the conversation was starting to get interesting when the waitress rudely interrupted Tony's investigation. Ok,ok,she only asked him his order. But still... now?!
Ordering that hot cocoa resulted in him missing the address of the house and when they decided to meet. Damn. It seemed they were sitting in a comfortable silence now,when suddenly LankyRicky's reached for Littlemeatball's hand across the table. Tony almost fell off his chair trying to see better when his phone rang.
It was the second time someone interrupted him on a key moment.
"Ziva! What? I'm busy" Tony whispered hastily,answering the phone.
"Where are you?" Ziva asked unimpressed
"Uhm. Out"
He was met with a sigh from the other side of the phone
"Tony... Tali sent me a message,she knows you are following her"
Ouch,denial was now the only option
"What? Tali? Following her? I don't even know where she is..."
"She saw you at the park and she is seeing you at the cafƩ too"
As she said it,Tony raised his head to glance over the table where the couple was. As she sensed it, Littlemeatball,or better Tali looked right at him before rolling her eyes and turning her attention to her boyfriend.
Tony knew that ninja abilities were hereditary...
"Tony,leave her alone! I know you want to protect her but she's almost 17,she is big and mature enough to create her own life" Ziva's voice reached him through the phone.
Tony knew she was right,but Tali was his little meatball and didn't want to see her getting hurt. He just wanted to be sure nothing bad would happen...
Tali's laughter echoed into the tiny cafĆØ,right before she leaned to kiss the boy's lips. She looked so happy and... in love.It was like Tali aged in front of his eyes.
"Tony...you come home or I need to drag you by the hair on your butt?"
"You're right,there is no need to harm my beautiful butt woman. I'm coming"
"Good boy"
"I know, good boys deserve a prize you know?"
Ziva closed the call with a chuckle:"only if you bring me the pain au Chocolat from where you are. I heard it's the best of Paris"
While he went to pay(and buy a thousand of pain au Chocolat hoping that would calm Ziva and make her forget he actually spied on their daughter), he gave a look at Tali's table only to find it empty. Where was she?
"Richard went to the toilet" his daughter's voice from behind him made him jump
"AAARH. I know I look young but I'm not, you're gonna give me a heart attack"
"Better that than a kick where sun doesn't shine"
"Hey,who educated you?"
"Who educated you?? You believed you were James Bond on a Mission,while following me?"
Tony couldn't help but feel ashamed.
"Little meatball... I'm sorry if I... I just wanted to keep an eye on you,I... I know I'm wrong..."
Tali arched an eyebrow,exactly like Ziva did and Tony had to smile at that.
"Very very wrong " he admitted
"Dad...I know you meant no harm but I'm almost an adult now "
"I know... it's just hard. For a parent "
"It's not like I can't defend myself"
"But what if something happens and..."
"IF something happens" Tali stopped him " and I can't handle it,I'll call you or Ima,easy"
And that hit Tony. When he was Tali's age he would never sound so confident that Senior would be there for him and he was sure Ziva could say the same about Eli. Tali, on the other hand, was so calm,so confident in him and Ziva. He felt a rush of pride, they were not perfect but they were able to be better than their parents.
He must have taken a minute too much thinking about it cause Tali tapped his shoulder
"Sorry,you zoomed out....? Isn't that a little early for senile dementia?"
Tony snorted,she inherited Ziva's and his sassiness.
"Funny,really funny...Tali I'm sorry this won't happen again. You're right,it doesn't matter why I did it"
His daughter surprised him by hugging him
"I know why you did it,how you felt... thank you for that...and for stopping it "
He kissed her hair and she took a step away
"I need to go now,I don't want Ricky seeing you're here. Go away,bye bye. Say thanks to Imaa" and she ran to the table where Ricky was returning from the toilet.
He smiled: she was becoming a woman who had to live her first experiences but it didn't change how she would always be his Little meatball,he hoped Richard will treat her right cause otherwise...otherwise Tali would kick him where sun doesn't shine.
He was about to exit when his phone rang,text from "little Meatball": "buy me pain au Chocolat,pls? :3 you owe me"
He laughed

Good morning princess, I slept well, and i hope you did too<3 What was the dream about? I like hearing about people's dreams, esp since i dont have many of my own (the ones i do have are usually precognitive dreams)
Im already slowly convincing myself to just be braver. Like i wanna know so much more about youš«£ I would love to know what you do but thats gotta be asked away from the public eye, like i will admit only reason i gave a vague answer so publicly myself is cause im on anon. Ive been trying to work up the nerve to click message and not anonš«£ but it makes me happy that youre willing to wait for my shy ass to show up in your dms, sweetheart<3 And i dont mean to be too vain, but sweet thing I think you might be more than just a little enamored<33 but thats ok, you wanted to feed into my confidence a little anywayāŗļø
I'm obsessed with playing with other people's hair, it always feels nice. So come over and cuddle with me sweetheart, i wouldnt mind if you let me play with your hair and trace shapes on your skin, if you fell asleep in my arms i wouldnt mind<3āŗļø
Im Sagittarius rising! I feel like i cant dispute my chart like even a little, i was born a little early! The stars were in alignment heheš¤ But I can see your Aquarius traits now that you mention it. Also some of my best friends have earth suns and air risings or air sun/earth rising. It seems the people around me gotta keep me grounded but inflate my sense of self at the same time š¤ but I am all fire signs for my big threeš«£ i'd love to see your chart sometime, i dont fully know everything but astrology is a big thing for me like im a little delusional about the planets, stars, and the moon but they've never led me astray!
I did have fun! But i think I would've preferred having a reason to ignore my gameš¤ it wouldve been nice getting under the covers with a warm and cute girl last night<3 especially when i had a hard time getting myself to sleep when i was tiredš„ŗ
What have you been up to today, sweetheart?
hi hi hi!!! im glad u slept well!! im really bad at remembering my dreams but all i know is that u made an appearance!!
i know its hard to work up the courage to get off anon so never feel bad!!and if im enamored, so are you handsome!!! šš„°
ugh i would love that!!! sometimes i find myself tracing shapes on my skin to mimic that so it would be amazing to have someone else do it!! plus im sooo sleepy today so a lazy day would be perfect
awww i love my lil fire signs, they have def grown on me a lot and i love the spontaneity that they give me!! hehe i think these are some good signs!! im all earth and air too!! but yes i dont know much but i love the stars and moon and stuff!!
noooo im sorry u have a hard time sleeping, i really wish i could help!!!
im being studying today, accidentally took a mid morning nap so i have to grind for my exam tomorrow! but i just had lunch and am curled up with my computer!!
how about you?

They put Sawsbuck in this movie lmao. I know a pokemon when I see one.
There's also like a lot of soft core porn in this for a 2018 movie
"It's not me you hate. It's yourself." "No, Dan, it's you too."
Damn, this is really dramatic for someone not wanting to disclose their dying husband to you. The obvious reason not to tell would be possible conflict of interest/being compromised and the only one being unhinged here is you. Especially given the "unit leader" clearly knew and gave the OK.
Also the prior unit filmed themselves cutting into each other, if it was madness it was mutual consensual madness not secret murder madness AND you've seen the alligator.
"or maybe I'm going mad and we're all going to fuck each other up. That's theory two."
Ooh can the bear mimic voices? SCP-939
Damn the bear dying as it says "Help me" in the voice of its victims love it.
Okay so I guess the thing is if they are actively being mutated by DNA changes is that...a lot of DNA mutations like that wouldn't be viable, but it seems like most of the deaths so far have been caused by other creatures and not just spontaneously dying from a mutation (though that does seem like that might be what is up with Lena's husband). That would suggest their immune system is doing a pretty good job at keeping up with the cell damage all things considered and it even appears to be keeping up for a while once Lena's husband exits.
but it also seems like The Shimmer forcefully keeps things alive somehow which would explain why Lena never remembers eating and her husband clearly also has done and experienced things that would not be physically possible for humans to do.
I think it's more realistic that the bear mutated voice mimicry capabilities without additional testing (that I assume we want to avoid)
Oh hey, its an actual lighthouse I thought that was like a metaphor
Clone shit??
Remember during Sea Fever when I said I was bad at distinguishing men?? This is making determining if it is clone shit really hard.
Dr. Ventress' voice is screaming. Bear Part 2?
Sure, let's go down into the dark hole after we've established dangerous things can sound like friends who need help.
It looks fungusey?
Okay, fragmented, I mean that makes sense if Kane 1 and Kane 2 are somehow both parts of Kane and only part of Kane made it out.
No offense Lena but we should probably try and put some distance between the weird swirling mist
It kind of looks like the plant/fungi thing made of people
I see, yes weird clone shit it is. Though that seems really inefficient if you need to consume 1 human being and then you can clone some other dude hanging out there.
I mean, yeah not only does that make Kane's huge knowledge gaps make sense, it also makes sense why he was being super weird when he got back if it's not actually Kane but the alien clone. It also also explains why when "Kane" got out The Shimmer was still vibing but when Lena got out The Shimmer died.
I wish we had Kane's POV honestly because it sounds like he and the clone built some sort of relationship in a way that Lena did not with her clone.
I guess this solves their cheating problem if this is the quasi-Kane quasi-clone. Though I am confused why Kane's clone would have stabilized when the alien died.
I mean the glowy eyes means Lena may not be all Lena but Lena seems to be more Lena than "Kane" is Kane. I want the military to run some DNA samples though.
It also seems like since the whole thing was that DNA was getting sort of fragmented and mixed up that a person becomes physically not perfectly themselves after x time in The Shimmer. But is that necessarily any different for the fate of "the self" than if you get radiation damage or a tattoo or a cochlear implant or lose a limb?
This was a fun movie, I liked it. However, the more movies I watch the more I feel like we should be kind to aliens. They seem like they may just be confused and unaware of their impacts.
Is this now just an Every Thought I've Ever Had About Movies blog?
The Annihilation:
I like the hazmat suits I'm seeing this is promising
Unrated is also a point in the horror column
ooh husband back from being MIA for a year
oh hey! I think I watched a speculative biology video on this movie
fear not, I remember nothing other than the weird glowy bubble where stuff is timey wimey and that the lady goes in for some reason related to her husband (thanks ADHD!)
ooh hey guy bleeding into a cup I had a nightmare about that when I was like 10 or something and it still haunts me
shit its the men in black
I'm ruling this a horror movie given that it's plot is heavily reliant on body horror. It's cool body horror though.
It gives me SCP vibes. Off the top of my head SCP-3333
I also really enjoy that the man has been fridged so that the lead woman can go on adventures with other women.
Okay To Be Continued, the movie is about halfway through at this point.

Dear Father [Genshin Impact/Diluc x Reader]
Synopsis: Wherever you are wherever you may be, even if you are beyond my reach, I only wish to see you again. -from a letter lost in the wind.
(A story where you and Diluc somehow managed to meet Crepus)
Genre: all fluff
"I know how late I am to father's day but here's my father's day take on Genshin Impact! Just let Diluc be happy for once T_T Mihoyo pls."
============================
Discovering Master Crepus' old belongings was like wandering in a domain surrounded by ancient artifacts. Each piece holding the memory of someone you've never met.
The paintings. Master Crepus loved to paint. Typically birds were the main muse of this portraits since they deeply embodied Mondstadt's values for freedom which shows you how much he cherished this city just like his son did. In almost every hallway you walked through there was a collection of his paintings, some belonged to another artist but the majority was an original work. Diluc didn't have the heart to sell them.
Elzer. He was one of the oldest workers who served under the Ragnvindr name, ever since Master Crepus had appointed him during his earlier days. You were told that he treated everyone, both staff and noble, with equal respect. Almost all the denizens of Mondstadt knew this man for he was not only noble in riches but also in the soul.
"I'm sure he would have loved to meet you in person. Now that I think about it, you and Master Crepus are quite similar. Haha, it seems that Master Diluc was selective in terms of who he wanted for his future bride."
Elzer adds with a light chuckle but the statement only made you more curious. A man who affected the lives of so many others, he must have been a wonderful person.
Diluc. The bloodline Master Crepus left behind after his death, a piece of himself and the heir to the whole wine industry, his son Diluc. Although you could see the resemblance in appearance, both of them were men of prinicples and values, putting Mondstadt first before anything else and you suddenly realized if that was the reason why Diluc was so protective of this city. As if, it were everything he had? You could tell he loved Master Crepus very much, not because he said so, rather the painful expression buried deep within his crimson glare whenever someone brought up the topic. Diluc was skilled in hiding himself, it's something he practiced over the years of working alone, though he lowered his guard as long as you were the only one present.
Even so, he had many conflicts still wringing him internally and you didn't want to push him until the day he felt ready to personally tell you himself.
But it would be nice if he opened up, just a little bit.
There were times when you would worry since Diluc had the tendency to hide his feelings for the sake of not troubling you. He wanted to keep life simple and bright, bringing the best to the table while making sure that you lived safely out of harm's way. You couldn't seem to get him to understand that as lovers, you would be happy to help him, in anything. Unconditionally. It was natural for you to feel the need to force yourself in every once in a while and there was nothing more you wanted to know than the story of the man who raised him.
You would even jest on the idea of what it fel like to meet Master Crepus in person. Were you able to reach his standards by any chance? Would he have liked you just as everyone claimed? Of course, they were only silly indulgent thoughts so you quickly dismissed them in the end. Bringing back the past was impossible no matter how badly you wanted it. You closed your heart on that possibility.
On a lovely evening, while you and Diluc were taking your time off Angel's Share to make a stroll around Mondstadt's quiet streets, a strange merchant called over to you. She displayed various antiques ranging from different sizes to designs, none of them seemed to haven been carved in the same place but distinct cultures throughout Teyvat. The only thing they had in common was that they were all equally beautiful to the eye.
However a particular item of what looks like to be a heart locket snatches your attention and you instantly became mesmerized, allured by it's mysterious charm.
"Ah, the locked heart caught your fancy, my lady? It's said once you open it, you will be set free."
"It's magnificent..." you muttered, staring unabashed at the shining surface.
Diluc who was observing from behind folded his arms and tilts his head, "How much is that?"
Although you intended to simply inspect the choices, your lover immediately offers to pay. They all already gave the impression of a hefty price and you didn't want him to spend his fortune on things that deemed unecessary. Still, this wasn't the first time it happened. Diluc would always insist whenever you protested against him from buying anything, it was just a way of expressing his affections towards you. Mora was never a problem and you were priceless. That's how he sees things. You had to remind yourself to be careful when stumbling upon a bustling area full of salesmen next time.
"Five hundred thousand mora."
He purchased it without hesitation.
On your way home, Diluc noticed that something was amiss. You couldn't tear your gaze from the locket as if it had hypnotized you by the golden smooth surface. He had to ensure you didn't run into anyone by accident, tugging your arm closer so that it gave him an opportunity to lead you where you yourself could not. Surely it must have been the appearance but instead of being drawn by, you were drawn in. Completely.
I wonder...what will happen if I open it?
"(Y/n)?" Diluc narrows his eyebrows together. Did you like it that much? No, he knew you weren't the type to be so etranced by jewelry, this was certainly different. Even the merchant seemed a little suspicious when she approached you and Diluc couldn't ignore the heavy sense of aminosity that was emitted around her aura. He couldn't think within her presence but now that his mind was much clearer, he was able to use his skillful judgements.
"Wait...! Don't open it yet-"
However, he was too late.
The wind picks up at an alarming speed and you both brought up your arms to block the debris that had flown in the way. They swirled in non-stop motion until your worlds were engulfed with not even the sky in sight. Amidst the turmoil Diluc latchest onto you and holds your body close his chest as he was determined to protect against any force that dared to hurt you. Something heavy knocks his head and he winces, tighting his hold even further. Your voice could hardly be heard with all the noise that rung around and eventually you discovered the the world wasn't disappearing. You both were.
The last thought you had was the image of Master Crepus and you didn't know why.
---
"Diluc? Diluc?"
He faintly heard his name through a series of echoes. Diluc fights to regaind concousness, feeling your grip upon his shoulder while trying to urge him awake.
"Diluc are you alright?"
Your worried face was the first thing he sees other than the fog that looms above. Diluc blinks a few times in an attempt to ease his migraine, using one arm to force his body into a seating position as he allowed himself to be supported by you at the same time.
"Does your head hurt?" You ask, palming gently against his forehead to feel the heat. Even if her was usually very warm, there was no unusual rise in tempurature, something must have hit him instead, "Here, maybe this will help."
Bringing out your hand you concentrated on generating the water through your fingertips. Having a hydro vision meant you were capable of healing magic which Diluc appreciated since he often came home late at night with injuries hidden behind his sleeves. But nothing came out and he became even more suspicious of the situation.
"Eh? What's going on?" You blurted out, patting down your clothes and your pockets, "My Vision, it's gone too!"
"Mine as well," Diluc flexes his fingers to test his own element, "It seems that our powers were sealed once we entered this domain."
"A domain that prevents you from using a Vision? That doesn't sound very comforting," you scratched your head, suddenly remembering the cause of your current problem, "The locket...it's all starting to make sense now. Ugh, I should have listened to you earlier, I'm sorry Diluc."
"No (Y/n), you don't have to apologize," he interjects and you returned a curious glance, "I should have stopped you the minute I discovered there was something strange. I was too careless."
"You felt that too? I thought I was the only one," your tone and face mimics one of surprise. The fog continues to dance around, enclosing the two of you to the small area. You lifted your head and looked above in deep contemplation, "When I saw the locket I couldn't tear my eyes off of it, like something was pulling me in. Like...there was a spell casted on it."
"What do you mean?" he asked in an inquisitive manner.
You nod, "I can't put my finger on it bit Ifel that the locket wanted me to..." balling your fist upon your lap, you stared intensely at the floor as if drilling holes into them while digging into the depths of your mind for any specific clues. Initially you thought the locket was so captivating that you were simply charmed by it's craftmanship. But tere was more than that, you began deciphering, there was also a need for fulfillment. A yearning desire, "to know. The locket was calling me to know."
'Once you open it, you will be set free.'
"To know..." you trailed off. How strange. No matter how much you tried to rationalize, you were always brought back to the same square as if the locket knew exactly what you wanted. What you were lacking. Because the one thing you wanted to know most about was the person you've never met, "Someone very important to you."
The fog dispersed.
Diluc instinctively puts an arm in front of you defensively as he scanned his quick and thorough eyes around the area. It didn't take long for him to know exactly where everything was. In fact, the abrupt change isn't what puts him on high alert, but it was how familiar everything looked to the point he evaluates if there was any reason to be skeptical or if he should be breathtaken.
"What a beautiful house," However you didn't recognize it. Diluc knew because he had yet to meet you during the time he lived in this estate, "I wonder who does it belong to?"
"Father's old mansion...how?" Diluc breatlessly mutters, as if seeing the supremecy of Celestia for the first time. When years passed after his father died, he chose to sell off the majority of his belongings, the mansion being on for example. Currently it was in the possession of a well-known business associate that used to be a friend of Crepus. The mansion would likely have looked much different due to the renovations it gone through but Diluc remembers the picture as if this were yesterday. Everything was in tact. The vine yard, the gazebo where they drank tea, the hill that he and Kaeya used to race on when they were kids-
Revelation burns in his pupils as his eyes expanded.
"Welcome home, my son."
Both you and Diluc fall wordless at the sight that appeared like a miracle's blessing. Crepus stands at a distance, the graceful smile complimenting his warm features. He looked exactly how the court artists portrayed him in the Ragnvindr's family picture. Sharp face with gentle eyes and an aura that was as pleasant as what Elzer described.
"So this is why the locket was calling to us," you whispered, "I guess the mora really was worth it after all."
"...Fa...ther...."
You snuck a glance at Diluc. From behind the resemblance was as clear as dawn, like you were staring at a carbon copy of Master Crepus himself. Almost. He was a less hardened version of Diluc during uncommon situations. It made you think just how much you didn't know before his father passed away. What kind of person was this man during his days as a knight? You never had the chance to know.
"Father is that really you?" Diluc couldn't help his voice from trembling, paralyzed in place when he could hardly make sense of what stands in front of him. The person he longed to hear from, the person who left the world too quick, Diluc was afraid to get his hopes up in case his father suddenly disappeared and everything was just an illusion conjured by his mind. He was already used to being betrayed and dealt with disappointment too often. Which is why he learned to trust only himself. But, right now, can he really trust himself?
Feeling your hand gently on his shoulders, Diluc was brought back to reality. You smiled with warm reassurance that bled into your voice, "It's okay Diluc. Go, I'm here for you."
There was the faintest light shining in his eyes as emotions swell in his chest. Ever since you came Diluc never had to feel alone anymore, truly, you were the light that was brought back into his eyes, to his life when he gave up the thought of seeing it again. If he couldn't trust himself then at the very least, he could trust you.
"Thank you," he embraces you wholly like you were everything, and you were, before letting go and taking off to the otherside.
The air hits him in a rush and knocks the ones out of his lungs, "Father!" Diluc yells with tearful eyes. For the first time in a long while he was finally letting his feelings run free, "Father!" A name that felt foreign upon words that is pushes him forward, wanting to claim the truth that was smiling from afar.
"Father!"
Crepus lifted his arms and openly catches Diluc when he crashed into him. Here. He was here. He certainly was.
"Haha its been a while hasn't it my son?" He begins, encasing Diluc in a hug like he did the day he turned eighteen. Crepus was a tall man and his genes seemed to have went through. Back when they were younger, Diluc managed to only reach the blade of his shoulders, just barely. Now they were practically the same height, "Look how much you've grown over the years. There were so many things I planned to say but I don't know where to start."
Seven years. That was how long Crepus spent alone with his thoughts. He saw what happened through that time span, the truth about the Knights and Kaeya's origins. To say that none of that bothered him would be a lie. Especially when his son was the most impacted throughout all the events.
"Father I...I-" Diluc tries to speak but the words dissolved the moment it reached his tongue. He wasn't the type to be very good at expressing emotions. None of it could simply be communicated by sentences. For him, actions spoke louder yet somehow, they still wouldn't be enough. Nothing can comprehend the weight of seven years.
Crepus seemed to have understood and fills in the gap instead, "I have also missed you and Kaeya. More than I can even say. It must have been so hard for you both to endure it all by yourselves. Life hits us when we least expect it but despite that, you still chose to persevere."
Diluc clenches his hold, face buried in his shoulders and mouth quivering as he barely answers, "Yeah."
"You're both my pride and joy no matter what happens, as a father I cannot be more proud," before knowing, everything that was said came out naturally from his spirit. Crepus may have his own set of things to share but he knew what Diluc needed the most, "So please don't stop relying on one another, don't always think that you have to do everything alone. Stength is a virtue. However, its okay to let go and allow new people to come into your life. I don't need to be avenged, as long as you and Kaeya are happy, its all I ask for."
As if the world had been lifted from his shoulders, Diluc allows himself to break just this once. On the outside, he was known to be an unstoppable force, the Mondstadt tycoon, the uncrowned king and a hero who serves at night. But here you saw only a boy who dearly missed his father as he hugs him tightly. Although you couldn't hear their conversation clearly, just watching them from where you stood was enough to make your eyes glisten from pure happiness.
"You finally chose to open your heart, right Diluc?" You quietly note to yourself, "You don't have to carry everything by yourself anymore, you're free."
'Once you open it, you will be set free.'
He was able to dwell in this one in a lifetime experience, all because you unlocked the heart and dispersed the fog inside.
They spent a good amount of minutes bringing the distance back together after being seperated for so many years. You made sure to make minimal movements in the consideration of their time. It was only temporary until Crepus noticed you standing in the distance and he gave you a quick glance. Your whole body tenses in response, suddenly feeling guilty as if you were a third wheel who didn't belong in the moment between two family members.
He's staring at me. Diluc's father is staring at me! Your thoughts panicked along with your thrumming heart. What should I do?!!
"I see you've brought someone along with you," He comments, the playfulness rising in his tone, "She seems to have been waiting for quite a while already. If you don't mind, may you do the honours of introducing her to me?"
Diluc turns to see you stiffened in place with your hands tightly clasped below your stomach and heat pooling from your ear to your cheeks as you dipped your head down. His father was a kind man and he couldn't understand there the discomfort came from, yet found it endearing nonetheless. Diluc walks over to you and extends his hand, silently urging you to come with him. You complied, albeit hesitantly at first.
"It'll be okay my love," he whispered softly, causing you to be taken aback by the nickname he called you by. Diluc often reserves them for special instances and this was one of them, "Whatever the staff told you about my father, they're the truth. Trust in their judgement. Trust in me."
"Diluc..." you say, voice fading. You knew him to be someone who always kept his word and someone who would never lie to you. Taking in a short breath, you nodded, "Alright, I will," and followed his lead.
There was once a time where you indulged in the idea of facing Master Crepus in person. But never did you prepare yourself for the amount of pressure it came with. Now that you were together with his son, there was a high chance that he would also become part of his family too, sooner or later. You weren't just meeting Master Crepus. You were also meeting your future father-in-law.
"Father, this is (Y/n)," Diluc starts the welcoming exchanges. You felt his hand squeeze yours gently. He turns to you so that you caught glimpse of his face, seeing the reverance in his gaze that was hinted among his handsome features, "She's the woman I fell in love with and I would do anything to make her happy. I cherish her more than anything else."
"D-Diluc!" you flushed, your embarassment as red as his own hair. But he wasn't bothered by it in the slightest.
"I only speak the truth."
Master Crepus lets out a content chuckle, drawing both of your attentions back to him, "He can be surprising poetic sometimes but I'm sure that he got it from me. Even my wife reacted the same way," he reminisced shortly before sighing, "In truth I already knew that you were together. Staying in the after life gave me the chances to watch things from an omniscient standpoint, I was sincerely worried how Diluc would handle things when I suddenly left, I hope you don't mind. If you do, I apologize for making you uncomfortable."
"N-Not at all!"
"Haha, you're very kind. Thank you. I'm glad that my son was able to find a woman like you to be his fated partner. As a parent, it brings me great reassurance," Crepus remarked, "I know he can be stubborn and a little too headstrong when it comes to making decisions. It really must be a handful for you to deal with at times but I promise you that he means well. So please continue to watch over him in my stead, take care of my son while I'm gone."
"You can count on me," you beamed, "I'll give it my all."
"You have my gratitude (Y/n)," Crepus replies and turned to Diluc, "And listen to her every once in a while. I may have been the previous owner of our wine industry but even I always make sure to get me sufficient amount of rest. Son you know its bad to get two to three hours of sleep every day."
You blinked, "Two to three hours?"
Diluc clears his throat, "I understand Father. You don't have to say it."
Oh I think he does.
With a satisfied grin, Crepus took both of your hands together in his and gave you his blessings. The man once considered to be an artifact through the vast mansion was going to be part of the memories in your life. All of your expressions held as much happiness as the future can become now that he gave you the closure you both needed.

SMOKESTACKS | 16, NO MORE SURPRISES
previous post
warning: ā domestic abuse ahead ā
FOR THE SIXTH TIME IN TWO hours, Nadine's phone blares its annoying ringtone. She could only assume that those calls are coming from the same people she's been avoiding for the past week. Nadine has managed to take the week off of work to avoid seeing Gemma and/or Jax.
Now, she's sat in a bar on a Friday night, sipping on a gin and tonic and bobbing her head to the music playing over the speakers.
She glances at her screen to see the familiar name pop up.
Jackson Teller.
She was in her feelings when she changed his name in her phone and she doesn't see herself changing it back in the near future. Honestly, she doesn't know what to do. It seems impossible to avoid these people considering everywhere she turns, someone associated with the club is in her face.
Of course, her friendship with Lyla was the only constant and based on the fact that the porn star brings up Jax in every one of their conversations, he knows it too. Does she want to just wait it out until they're tired of trying to reach out to her or does she try to make another getaway?
She just got here and she loves her job and her kids and she already can't imagine leaving them.
Guess she'll have to suck it up.
"I really can't tell if you're drunk or just vibing," The voice belongs to a black woman who'd been sitting beside Nadine for the better part of thirty minutes. She has an eyebrow raised and a glass of scotch raised to her lips, "Or both."
Nadine shakes her head in amusement, "Definitely both." Sticking a hand out, she introduces herself, "Nadine."
"Amelia." The woman shakes the teacher's hand, "Why haven't I seen you around before?"
"That is a great question," Nadine jokes as she sips her drink. She's barely tipsy, which is far from where she wants to be. The conversation continues to flow as the woman is drowned out by Nadine's phone blaring obnoxiously for the third time in ten minutes, the teacher ignoring every call.
Noting this, Amelia tilts her head in interest, "Boyfriend?"
The teacher scrunches her face at the thought, "Nope."
"Girlfriend?"
"I wish."
"Almost boyfriend?"
At Amelia's teasing tone, Nadine rolls her eyes in amusement, "Definitely not."
NADINE WAS DOWN THREE GLASSES of whiskey before she felt the effects of the alcohol on her senses. She giggles, fruitlessly as she tries to drink from her glass only to miss completely and basically pour it down her shirt.
Amelia bursts out into laughter, drunk to her ass. The women had been drowning themselves in tequila shots ā for reasons they choose not to admit. Apparently, Amelia has lived in Charming her whole life ā she's an OR nurse at St. Thomas's Hospital and extremely talented when it comes to her job.
Nadine didn't get much more than that.
"Oh, crap," Nadine snorts as the woody aroma from the alcohol wafts to her nostrils.
Amelia points in amusement, her eyes squinted as a loud laugh escapes her, "You smell like a bar!"
The teacher nods and leans back on her stool, almost falling on her back, "That's 'cause we're in a bar, silly!"
Staggering forward, Nadine peers through the mirrored wall behind the shelves of alcohol ā the clear space allows her to look at the rest of the bar patrons behind her. She takes note of the large spot on her grey shirt and groans, exaggeratedly as she throws her head back.
Luckily, drunk Nadine still has some sort of logical reasoning, "I'll be right back ā I gotta clean this up before it stains."
Amelia just tilts the rim of her glass of scotch towards the teacher and sends her a dopey smile, "Have fuuun." She sings, joyfully.
"I willll," Nadine mimics as she throws cash for the drinks on the bar counter.
Fortunately, the dark spot hadn't dried in the time it took Nadine to go through the line of women standing outside of the bathroom. A lack of stalls seemed to be the verdict for the long queue. Standing there in the bathroom, she hovers over the sink, wiping a damp paper towel over her tank top.
The stain is almost out ā the woody smell being replaced by stale tap water. She should've just kept the stain there if that's the case.
Suddenly, it's like time stops. Chills run down her back and the hairs on the back of her necks rise. Goosebumps line her arms as she furrows her eyebrows. There's a sinking feeling in her gut ā so deep that Nadine is knocked out of her drunken stupor and forced to grab on to the ceramic sink.
Almost as if she could predict it, there's a knock on the door. Nadine blinks profusely and calls to the person, "Someone's in here." That doesn't make the person on the other side back off ā no, instead, the doorknob that was once locked is twisted and pushed open.
So much for locking the door. She ponders.
The figure that enters is tall ā and so familiar. It's too dark for her to see a face but for a moment, Nadine assumes that Jax found her. She didn't put it past him considering he has so many connections that probably tipped him off and she doesn't put it past him to break down any barriers between them.
This leads her to her beginning sentence, "You don't have to check up on me, Jax. I just need time to myself."
As the figure steps closer, Nadine's breath hitches in her throat. Fuck. Tears fill her eyes as she looks upon the man that's caused her so much turmoil for two years. The man she fucking ran away from. Ezra Moore in all his mysterious obscurity stands just feet away from her.
She tries not to let her gaze shift to the pepper spray in her bag.
The man smirks, sadistically as he steps further into the room, almost steps away from his target, "This place should really get some better locks."
As his patronizing tone, Nadine jumps towards her bag on the sink, only to be shoved backward by her assailant. Her back lands against the filthy tiled wall and he holds her there, a grimey hand wrapped around her neck.
There were times when she loved to peer into those chocolate brown eyes ā they used to give her a certain comfort. Now, they're the epitome of terrifying.
"What? You thought you could get away from me, you little bitch?" He growls, leaning so close into Nadine that the palm of his hand pushes into her larynx and the stench of cigarettes and nasty beer invades her senses. "No matter how far you go, what name you use, or if you change your phone ā I will always fucking find you."
"Please ā"
"Shut the fuck up!" He yells into her face, spit flying to land on her cheek (the way my COVID brain just threw up). "You know you can't run from me, Nadine." His voice lowers as he jerks her head to the side and leans towards her ear. His lips wrap around her lobe, bringing tears to her eyes. His grip tightens, taking her breath from her ā "You've been a little slut since you left me, haven't you? Fucking Jax Teller? That little biker I've been seeing around here?"
She can't speak. She can't breathe.
Ezra doesn't care.
"Answer me!"
Whipping her head around swiftly, she shakes her head and gapes her mouth, wanting to speak but no words can make it past Ezra's tight grip. Seeing this, he loosens it for a split second so Nadine can muster a small, "No."
That wasn't the answer he was looking for, "Don't fucking lie to me! That's all you've been doing since I met you." He forces her to look at him, frowning for a moment at the sight of tears running down her cheeks, "You're a fucking liar, you know that? And such an actress. Even right now ā all these crocodile tears that you've been saving for me. For two years. All that fake love. Did you even love me?"
Nadine watches in pure horror as Ezra's voice breaks and tears begin to fly down his face. This man is insane, she sobs. Thoughts flurry through her mind as his grip loosens significantly. She's so taken aback that even her mind seems to be lagging. She wants to go home where the locks work.
"I did." She whispers, cringing as her voice cracks, "I-I do. I do love you, Ezra." It pains her to speak these lies, but she has to go and the only way to do that is to feed into his crazed actions, "I love you, baby. So much." She lifts a shaky hand to cup his cheeks, willing her tears away at the thought of touching her oppressor. "I'm sorry I left you. I don't know what I was thinking."
Her back stiffens when he falls into her, dropping his head into the crook of her neck. He sobs, savoring the feeling as she runs a hand through his scalp. It was something she did years ago to help him out whenever he had a stressful day ā she used to love doing it.
Now, she feels like she needs to take a shower in acid to scrub the feeling of him off.
Her neck is sore when he releases her ā surely, she has bruises.
Now is her time to get away ā with that thought, she swiftly thrusts her knee up in between his legs and pushes him off of her body. He falls to the floor with a pained groan, cupping his groin.
"You bitch!" He screams at her as she shuffles along quickly to make her getaway. She snatches her bag from the sink, grabs her pepper spray and unleashes hell on the man writhing on the floor. He screams bloody murder before Nadine exits the room, closing the door behind her.
Nadine tries to wipe away the messy mascara under her eyes before heading for the exit of the bar, ignoring as Amelia calls after her.
The teacher drove home in fear that her shaky hands would make her swerve into oncoming traffic. That and her blurry vision, eyes filled to the brim with unshed tears. She's spent too much of her life crying over that man ā she'll be damned if he gets anymore from her.
Taking extra precautions, she checks behind her every few seconds to make sure she isn't being tailed ā even taking the long way home.
When she arrives at her apartment complex, she double checks the locks on her car before making her way up the stairs, her key already in one hand and her pepper spray in the other. When she sees another figure crouched by her door, the woman jumps. She doesn't want any more surprises tonight.
As she steps closer, arm extended with her pepper spray, her eyes catch sight of the familiar dark hair and the lit end of a cigarette. Nadine holds her breath as she realizes that that cigarette belongs to the woman she's been ignoring for the past week.
With a broken voice, Nadine freezes and whispers, "Gemma?"

Behind Closed Doors
Keanu Reeves x OFC (A/n- And now, I shall make it complicated)
Masterlist
Warnings- Jealousy
Chapter 2 All In a Long Weekend
Saturday
That Saturday morning, breakfast had been done a tad earlier than usual, and afterwards, Emma had stayed back in the kitchen, packing a picnic while Keanu oversaw the children as they got ready for the day's beach trip. Matt and Poppy had been raving about their trip to Malibu for the past two weeks, asking every night before bed if they'd still be going. Each time, Emma had assured them that unless it rained, they were certainly going.
"You look excited," an older woman came up beside Emma, setting down some sodas into the cooler, just as Emma continued preparing sandwiches for the container that was set to be packed into the woven basket. She and Zelda, despite the fifteen or so years between them had become fast friends, always eager to help each other out when possible. The older woman was also sometimes keen of giving Emma little snippets of advice that she thought my be helpful; never go into Keanu's office when he had the door shut, don't give the kids ice pops inside and possibly the one that had saved her the most trouble, always check the allergy list that Keanu had stuck to the fridge before making the kids something new.
Beaming absently at her comment, Emma carried on with her task, making cheese and turkey sandwiches; a favorite among Keanu and his kids, "I am, it's been a while since I've been to the beach, and even if I'm still working, it's gonna be fun." Closing up the Tupperware, Emma set it in the basket, moving on to prepping snacks, just as Zelda started on some frozen treats for the sizable cooler. In retrospect, it might have seemed like a lot, but when you were having a day trip with kids, it was best to prepare for anything. "Plus, it'll be nice to spend some time together, just the four of us."
Furrowing her eyebrows in confusion, Zelda paused for a minute, "Five dear," she corrected, a little shocked when Emma didn't understand what she meant.
Certainly, Keanu must have told her!
But really, he hadn't.
Just as Zelda was about to explain though, the sound of the front door opening and shutting, followed by a very loud, and an annoyingly exuberant; "Darling!" After that, it wasn't long before the sound of heels clicking against the floor drew nearer, and out of the long hallway emerged a woman, tall, blonde and just as famous as Keanu.
"Sweet-" Upon seeing the pair, the Miranda Riley, former Victoria Secret model and world famous actress, stopped in her tracks, scrunching her perfectly straight nose as if she'd smelt something terrible, "Oh," her made up face fell, "Its you; Zora andā¦ā¦.the new one."
A little annoyed by her obviously snooty behavior, Emma opened her mouth to speak up, "Actually it's-" Though, when Zelda grabbed her arm, squeezing warningly, she shut up immediately, sealing her lips tightly.
Though, it didn't really seem like any of it greatly affected Miranda, especially when Keanu jogged into the room from the other hall, still bare foot while his worn out t-shirt was soaked at the front, probably from herding the twins into a bath. "Mandy," he grinned, and Emma swore it was stiff and forced. Maybe it was just her imagination though, cause with barely any hesitation, Keanu was taking the woman in his arms, holding her in a more than friendly hug before planting a lengthy kiss on her deep, ruby lips, one of his hands reaching up to cup her face.
The world seemed to slow down as the entire scene unfolded before her; the way he held her, looked at her when they pulled away to speak. A soft, pained gasp seeped past her lips and Emma wasnāt sure what sheād been expecting when Miranda walked into the house, but she did know that the last thing sheād predicted was that it would hurt so much. Her lungs were set ablaze and a similar sensation prickled at her eyes. Rage, betrayal, jealousy, Emma couldnāt tell which it was, but she did know that she wanted to run out of the room and not have to face Keanu for the rest of the day. Hell, maybe even the rest of the month.
Slowly, as if she were just coming up from being submerged in an ice cold bath, Emma brought herself back to the moment, raising her gaze when Keanu sought to introduce them, āMandy, you remember I told you about Emma, our new nanny.ā That was what she was, the nanny; the woman who took care of his kids, nothing more. Even if quieter moments had suggested otherwise. The tension, the long stares and innocent touches that thrilled her nerves, they meant nothing to Keanu. āAnd Em, this is my girlfriend, Mandy.ā Well that didnāt feel like a bullet to the chest at all.
āItās nice to meet you,ā the smile that she plastered on her face was probably the hardest one sheād ever managed, and when Emma offered her hand, it wasnāt difficult to miss the flash of disgust that crossed Mirandaās pale features. Never meet your heroes, they said. For as long as Emma had known herself, Miranda had been an icon in the fashion world, she was well connected, and had set most of the trends that Emma had her friends had desperately wanted to mimic in their teens. It was her, among other inspiring names in the fashion world that had prompted Emma to go to a design institute and not a conventional college. But right then, she might have been happier going back to a time where sheād never crossed paths with Miranda.
Hesitating before offering Emma a toothy, winning grin, Miranda took her hand, shaking quickly over the counter before letting it go again, āMmm, yes, it'sā¦ā¦.nice to meet you too, Emily.ā
āEmma,ā she corrected, having to bite her tongue so she wouldnāt say anything more. The last thing sheād want was to lose her job after telling off her bossās out of touch bitch of a girlfriend.
āRight,ā Miranda appraised her look, a bright blue sundress, raising an impressed brow, probably only complimenting her to appease Keanu, āCute dress.ā
Before Emma could speak up, Keanu interjected, āShe looks lovely doesnāt she? Made it herself,ā he didnāt seem remotely aware of the heaviness in the room, or the way Miranda clenched her jaw when another slew of praises for Emma left his lips, āSheās so talented, Poppy is already roping her into making princess dresses for Halloween,ā he chuckled, shaking in his head.
After another minute spent gritting her teeth, Miranda sought to change the topic, clearly having had her fill of Keanuās pride in his nanny, āWhere are the little ones anyway? It's nearly ten, weāre going to be late.ā
With that, Emmaās head snapped towards Zelda, who'd opted to finish the cooler and snacks in silence, so she wouldnāt have to endure any of the painstaking conversation, āSheās going?ā She whispered when Keanu and Miranda werenāt looking, eyes wide and frenzied.
āYeah,ā she nodded, barely looking as Emma when she followed her to the fridge, while Keanu and Miranda spoke, or rather, canoodled in hushed tones, "I feel like I should have told you he has a girlfriend," Zelda paused, just after reaching for a half filled carton of strawberries.
"Ya think?" Emma hissed, glancing backwards at the couple, feeling her heart pinch at how lovey dovey they were. She could have sworn there was something between herself and Keanu. "How hard was it to say 'Hey Em, you know our boss has this girlfriend, and she's like, a total bitch.' What the hell does he even see in her anyway?"
"She's tall and gorgeous?" Zelda shrugged casually, "Look, I don't get it either, but he loves her, they've been together for almost two years and I think she's convinced him to go public by the end of this year." Her face fell at Emma's troubled expression, reaching out to rub her shoulder sympathetically, "I see the way you look at him, and if there's something between you two, thenā¦ā¦and I don't mean this harshly at all, maybe you need to back down. Miranda, she'sā¦ā¦she's not someone you want to mess with," sighing deeply, Zelda peered over to see if they were being overheard, "She gets what she wants, and right now, she wants Keanu and you don't want to be in her way."
Gritting her teeth, Emma pulled away harshly, "I don't know what the hell you're talking about," she squared her shoulders, "There's nothing between Keanu and I," maybe she was getting more defensive than she needed to be, but Emma didn't care. "I'm gonna go finish getting the twins ready," she announced loudly, stalking out of the room and down the hall, and hopefully, leaving behind whatever she'd started to feel for her boss.
As it turned out, Matt and Poppy had all but put their clothes on over their swimsuits, and they were so excited about going, that they got into their little summery outfits without fuss. Afterwards, tiny feet clad in colorful sandals, they raced each other downstairs, leaving Emma to collect their bags before she headed down.
She was walking towards the stairs, backpacks in hands, really just minding her own business, having just started to calm down after the whole Keanu/Miranda fiasco, when, just as she neared the door of Keanu's home office, she heard it. He was deep in conversation, and had unknowingly left the door just a sliver open, enough for her to catch on to some juicy bits. "I know mom," he sounded exasperated, and when she dared to peek in, Emma found that his back was to her, as he stood facing the window, one hand stuffed into the pocket of his jeans, "But I'm not getting any younger, what do you want me to do? Wait till I'm sixty?" He sighed heavily, shaking his head, "Matt and Poppy need a mother, and Mirandaā¦ā¦" he trailed off, listening intently to what his mother had to say. Leaning closer, Emma wished she could be privy to the other end of the call, aching to hear what his mother thought about the succubus that he called a girlfriend. But alas, she'd have to settle for whatever she got.
After a few minutes had passed, Keanu spoke again, turning around, leaving Emma to dash for cover, though still within earshot. For a minute, she held her breath, awaiting the moment where Keanu would poke his head out the door and catch her eavesdropping. But it never came, and instead, he continued, "I think I'm going to do it tomorrow night, we're going to dinner, and the nanny will watch the kids. I have the ring already. I think she might like it."
Ring?
The sirens in Emma's head were going off so loudly that she barely registered his tone, the absence of excitement or joy, things that were usually there when someone was smitten enough to propose. There was too much going on in her head; the irrational fear of never having a chance with Keanu, the more rational fear that Miranda might become her boss too. Tuning out the rest of the conversation, not caring to hear anymore, Emma dragged herself towards the stairs, slinking down towards the kitchen, where she found Zelda entertaining the children.
āEverything okay?ā She probed when Emma placed the bags on the counter, next to the cooler and picnic basket, her features still crestfallen.
āYeah,ā she mustered up a smile, inching closer to her friend, her voice dropping an octave, āI think Keanuās going to propose to Miranda, like tomorrow night.ā
āWhat?ā Zeldaās eyes went wide, her jaw hanging slack, and she almost dropped the dishes she had just started putting into the cupboards, āHow do you know that, did he tell you?ā
āTell her what?ā Speak of the devil. Miranda startled them both, and for a second, Emma was worried that sheād overheard their conversation, though that too was short lived.
āEveryone ready?ā Keanu strode into the room, and though Emma wanted to meet his gaze, she restrained herself, not even trying to respond, just going over to gather some of their things, her teary smile faltering when the kids excitedly started following her to the car.
At some point, Miranda had eased Keanu away from where theyād set up their picnic on the beach, urging him into a walk even though the kids had pleaded with him to stay and help them build sandcastles. Emma had taken his place, helping them with their little construction project, highly aware of how upset Poppy still was. āYou okay Pop?ā
The girl frowned, using her fragile fingers to sweep some hair out of her face, āI wish daddy would have stayed and built it with us,ā she mumbled, dumping another bucket of sand to create segment of the castle, though doing it so harshly that the new section just crumbled, āHe always leaves when aunt Mandy comes around.ā
āIām sure thatās not true,ā even if she didnāt like Miranda, if she was going to be Matt and Poppyās step mother, Emma couldnāt go around bad mouthing her to them, āIām sure he still spends time with you. And aunt Miranda seems really like you two.ā
āNot as much as you,ā that was Matt, his expression skewed by his dark mane falling over his face, āSheās always telling us to be quiet. And sheās so boring,ā he stressed, lurching forward, only half interested in ranting about Miranda, still very invested in their sandcastle, āShe almost made dad stop my swimming lessons.ā
āWhat?ā That time, it was a struggle to keep her annoyance at bay. Even if it was just one side, even if Matt couldnāt possibly know the entire truth, it was still enough to rile Emma up. How dare she? Matt was the best on his team! Taking a breath, Emma knew it was time to shift the conversation, and cheer the twins up before she said something that sheād regret, āYou know what? Why donāt we give this a break? We can go to the water, have a splash war!ā
āYeah!ā They jumped up immediately, barely giving Emma a minute to shimmy out of her sundress, revealing her simple, floral bikini before joining them in the water. It didnāt take long to lift their spirits, and before long, Matt and Poppy were teaming up to out splash Emma. Their gleeful giggles were music to her ears and she adored seeing their wide grins. Theyād waited almost a month for that trip, they deserved to enjoy as much as they could, even if Miranda was going to take up most of Keanuās time.
They probably spent hours past noon in the water, and not once did anyoneās smile falter. Emma gave them ice pops, and insisted that they have some water once or twice, though each time, they accepted without fuss, and she couldnāt tell if was the sugar from their snacks, or just how immersed they were in the games, but even when Keanu and Miranda returned near sunset, they didnāt show signs of tire.
āYou guys having all the fun without me?ā Keanu let go of Mirandaās hand, standing where the water would wash over his feet, pulling the sand back as it receded.
A pang of anger flared inside of her, making Emma want to remind Keanu that he was the one that left, but she suppressed it. A fight wouldnāt solve anything. She was so caught up in being annoyed with Keanu, that she hadn't noticed how dark his gaze had grown when his eyes fell on her, kneeling in the water, rivulets rolling off her tan skin, the top of her bathing suit pressing her breasts together, a generous amount of her cleavage spilling out voluptuously. āWell why donāt you join in?ā She made herself laugh, and while Emma was hardly as much of an actor as the two A listers before her, sheād liked to think she managed pretty well.
āSounds great,ā he didnāt even seem to notice Emmaās irritation, bubbling beneath the surface. In a flash, he was pulling off his t-shirt, tossing it to the sand, getting into water wearing just his swim trunks, and as he drew closer, his cheerful tone faltered, probably realizing that being in the water with her wasnāt going to do him any favors, āDo you guys wanna play chicken fight?ā Keanu turned to his kids, only to be met with excited nods, āAnd maybe Mandy wants to play too?ā He turned to her, eyes somewhat hopeful, āAnd we can let Em have a break,ā swallowing thickly.
āOh, Iā¦..ā Miranda seemed perfectly out of her element, smoothing a hand over her stylish, white sundress, and then pushing up the dark tinted sunglasses, which formerly guarded crystal green orbs. It took a minute, but eventually, she conjured up a tight grin, āChicken fight isnāt really my kind of game,ā she laughed nonchalantly, āBesides, the water will ruin my hair. You should let Emily play, childish nonsense seems right up her alley.ā
Subduing the urge to roll her eyes and fire a few obscenities towards Miranda, Emma took a breath, gazing between Keanu, whoād gone cold, and Miranda whoās wicked mirth was reflected in her defiant smile, āLike I said this morning, itās just Emma. And thatās fine, I actually love childish nonsense, its way more fun than sitting on the sand like aā¦ā¦ā stuck up bitch, āBoring grown up.ā
Amused with her half hearted insult, Matt laughed loudly, while Poppy just giggled, already trying to get up on Emmaās shoulders. Fuming, Miranda turned on her heel, stomping off towards the mat, and it wasnāt long before the rest of them had forgotten the almost-spat, getting on with their game.
Monday
As usual, Emma was up early, preparing breakfast for everyone. It was just past seven am, and since Mondays didnāt promise cartoon reruns, the kids werenāt up yet. Instead, Zelda had come in earlier than usual, saying that she wanted to get a head start on the housework, but really just looking to gossip. They were in the kitchen together, preparing for hash browns, eggs and bacon, working over quiet chatter, āSoā¦ā Zelda nudged Emmaās shoulder with her own.
āSo?ā Emma chuckled, nudging her back, the comfy cotton of her robe brushing against the sleeve of Zeldaās shirt. She knew exactly what her friend was seeking, but truthfully, she didnāt know how Keanuās proposal had gone. All she knew was that theyād left for dinner around seven, leaving her to make something for Matt and Poppy, and hadnāt returned until the twins had fallen asleep and Emma had stolen away to her room.
āSo, is the wicked witch of the west coast going to be out new boss or not?ā Zelda teased, continuing with helping Emma shred some potatoes.
āHonestly-ā Emma cut herself off when Keanu walked in, sans shirt and with low riding sweat pants. His hair was a mess, and his good morning was punctuated by a tired yawn. "Good morning Keanu," both women greeted in unison, sharing a look.
They both wanted to know so badly that the itch was almost physical, but it wasn't like they could simply ask. With their one question would come a dozen more from Keanu. Though, as faith would have it, the truth they were seeking wasn't far behind a still half asleep Mr. Reeves.
"Darling," an all too familiar voice purred, shuffling into the kitchen, her blonde hair held up in a loose ponytail and her elegant frame wrapped up in fine satin. Unlike Keanu, Miranda didn't even bother with pleasantries, going straight over to where he stood at the integrated refrigerator, holding him in a hug from behind, strategically angling her left hand so the large rock on her finger would be on full display.
"Still wanna know?" Emma whispered near Zelda's ear, their heads almost touching.
Scoffing, Zelda seemed caught between a sarcastic smirk and a frown, "Not any more."
And because the world was such a cruel place and open wounds would be pointless without a little salt, Miranda abruptly turned to them. "Ladies! Have you two seen my ring?" Without warning she thrust her hand towards them, making the engagement ring on her finger hard to avoid, "Gorgeous right? Keke loves to spoil me," her words were perfectly gag worthy and Emma was finding it difficult to keep down the half cup of coffee she'd had. It wasn't like she was opposed to love or affection or anything, she'd really liked to think of herself as well adjusted in that way, but during the one weekend she'd spent around Miranda, her affections for Keanu always seemed so dramatic that it was nothing short of an elaborate farce.
Yet, it wasn't like she had much of a choice when it came to going forward and having to endure it. Jobs in the fashion world were hard to come by and freelancing would hardly be enough to cover living expenses. So, alas, she'd have to put up with Miranda for a quite while to come. "Don't worry Emily," Emma hadn't even realized she'd zoned out until Miranda called her by the wrong name, for probably the dozenth time. At her next words, Miranda's voice dropped below what Keanu could hear, and there was a wicked glimmer in her gaze, "You're pretty enough, I'm sure you can trick a man into buying you a nice ring. Might not be as many carats, but you'll manage."
That little quip was definitely pay back for Saturday. Fuming, Emma longed to just let her have it, but she was growing so versed in holding her tongue that she did again, deciding right then and there that as much as she loved the kids, she was wholly willing to take the next sustaining job as long as Miranda was in the picture.

TXT x DISNEY Halloween Shorts š (3/5)
pairing: ot5 x reader
genre: fluff ā college au
warnings: light swearing
synopsis: there's a halloween event at your uni and a few students are in the mood for misfit.
yeonjun | soobin | beomgyu | taehyun | hueningkai
BEOMGYU | Beauty and The Beast (2.2k)
āCareful with the hair!ā
You hiss when Jinsung, your classmate and stylist for tonight, slaps your hand away after attempting to touch your hair.
āIf I even see a single hair strand out of place, so help me I will shave your entire head.ā He warns, tapping your shoulder with his brush. āNow go out there and get us some customers. The others said they'll have the food ready on time.ā
āAlright.ā You try to smile at him and he returns your smile with a sour look.
Your department was throwing a Beauty and the Beast style buffet right in front of your building. Canopies were set up, clothed tables lined around the vicinity, and classy decorations covered the area to add to the whole atmosphere. The dishes to be served are supposed to mimic the food found throughout the movie, with the servers dressed up as some of the minor characters. By some odd stroke of luck, you ended up being chosen as Belle and you were pretty sure some guy named Yeonjun from the other class was supposed to dress up as the Beast.
You got up from your seat and fetch the flyers from the table. The plan was to head up to where the crowds are and advertise your event there. You were all set to go, the only thing left missing being your partner.
Out of nowhere, a group of guys dressed as dwarfs appear. You can't make out what or who it was that they're carrying, but they were surely in a hurry, not caring a bit about their surroundings as they zoom past you, causing you to stumble back. Your heel catches the end of your gown and you start to fall backwards. Closing your eyes shut and bracing yourself for an awkward fall, you were pleasantly surprised when your back hit something soft insteadā definitely not the concrete belowā someone's chest you presume, their arms quickly wrapping around you protectively.
āCareful.ā You hear the person say as they slowly help you on your feet. āJinsung might throw a fit if you ruin your hair.ā He chuckles, bringing his hand to his face.
You turn around and nearly got a scare when you're faced with the face of a beast, quite literally. Turns out your partner hadn't planned on being late after all. āYeonjun, right?ā You haven't actually met the guy but you've heard a few people talk about him. They say he had died his hair pink recently but you couldn't really see behind the terrifying full head mask he had on. You wonder how well he could breathe inside that thing.
āUh, yeah.ā The Beast replies, seeming somehow unsure of his own name. āI'm Yeonjun.ā
āNice meeting you then. I'm Y/N.ā You don't bother offering him a handshake, knowing that you two barely had time to chat. āLet's get going. It's almost time.ā
Beomgyu stays a few feet away from you as you handed out flyers to a bunch of costume clad strangers. Both of you were pretty busy right now, but he still manages to steal a few glances at you, admiring how beautiful you looked in that Belle costume. He almost wishes he could see you dressed like that everyday. Impractical, sure, but it was just a passing thought anyway. Thank heavens the costume had small peeping holes, otherwise you'd have caught him dead in the act of staring at you every few minutes or so.
āTry our buffet!ā He greets two of the students passing by, handing them a flyer.
āWhat do you think, Soojin?ā The student holding a tray of candied apples asks the other.
āI think not. We still have to visit that guy in the infirmary.ā The friend replies. One of them gives Beomgyu an apologetic look before they leave.
Beomgyu watches the crowd pass by, his eyes naturally wandering to your side. He finds himself smiling when he saw you all focused on attracting customers, even going as far as to give them brief reenactments of their favorite scenes. Beomgyu loved that he was able to spend this time with you. He only wished that you knew it was actually him inside the costume and not Yeonjun, but he couldn't even find the courage to bring it up. He's not even sure why.
Yeonjun had asked him earlier today to be his substitute in handing flyers. Beomgyu had initially declined, but after hearing that you were going to be his partner for tonightā You, the student from across the hall that he'd been crushing on since freshman yearā he was more than ecstatic to accept. This was his chance to actually interact with you without making things awkward.
āWhy the fuck did I even say I was Yeonjun?āĀ He huffs, only now had he found his costume stuffy. He really could have just told you before you started on your work, but he panicked and told you a lie instead.Ā Great.
An hour had passed and Rina, one of your classmates, had come to inform you two that a lot of people were now dining at the buffet, and that you were allowed to rest for half an hour before your final wave of work.
You spot a bench nearby and walk over toĀ Yeonjun. āHey, let's take a rest over there.ā You point at the bench. Yeonjun merely nods and follows you as you made your way to it. You take notice that he barely talked to you the entire time you were together. People said he was a chatterbox but apparently not tonight.
Just as you two sat down, Rina came backā this time, looking for someone. āHey, have any of you seen Beomgyu?ā
Hearing the name made you pause and blink. āBeomgyu?ā
āYeah.ā
āNo.ā
You glance atĀ YeonjunĀ who kept shaking his head.
āHaven't seen him.ā
Weird, you think. He was purposefully changing the pitch of his voice as he spoke to your classmate. You figure his throat was probably just dry from all the advertising he did earlier.
Rina turns to you, eyebrows raised with a smirk plastered on her face. āHow about you, Y/N? I'm sure you've seen him.ā
Eyes wide, you feel the heat rushing to your cheeks. Rina knew about your obvious crush on Beomgyu. The entire class knew. A few jokes were made, like how when someone from his class is looking for him, they'd ask if your Beomgyu radar was up and running. That joke was brought upon by your own little ability to somehow spot him easily within a crowd. That however, proved useless tonight. You hadn't seen him at all.
You spareĀ YeonjunĀ a look. This was not a good time for Rina to be teasing you. He and Beomgyu are classmates and if he found out that you had a crush on the guy then who knows what'll happen. You didn't want him to think you were crazy when Rina ends up saying something stupid and overly exaggeratedā you hope she won't. Your crush on Beomgyu wasn't even that big of a deal. Sure, sometimes you'd find your heart fluttering when you spot him laughing from the other side of the hallway, and maybe sometimes you'd wished you could just come up to him and pinch his cheeks but you've barely even spoken to the guy soā
āWhat are you talking about?ā You laugh it off, patting Rina on the side while slipping in a few stink eyes. āI haven't seen him at all.ā
āIs that so?ā Rina sighs. For a second, you thought she would just let it go when she turned her back on you but the devil in her was in the mood to play. āTell me when your Beomgyu radar picks him up then! We need him to help in the kitchen.ā
YeonjunĀ turns to to you. āBeomgyu radar?ā
You shrink in your seat.
Was Beomgyu hearing right? Did your classmate just ask you something about a Beomgyu radar? Your Beomgyu radar? Did she normally joke like that or was it intentional? Perhaps she knew he was the one in the costume and not Yeonjun, but he highly doubted that. Could you perhaps?
Beomgyu turns to you. āBeomgyu radar?ā
Your face shifted into a mix of emotions that Beomgyu had trouble deciphering. āD-Don't mind her.ā You stammer, waving your hands at him. āShe's just joking as always. Ah, Rina, such an assholā assertive joker.ā You laugh.
āRight.ā Beomgyu laughs along. He felt disappointed, thinking that he was probably just reading too much into it. āWhat are the odds of you crushing on Beomgyu, right?ā
āExactly!ā Your reply was quick. Too quick for Beomgyu's liking. He observes your reaction and notices how red your ears were. Were you embarrassed? Was the idea of crushing on him too much for you? Did you not find him attractive in the least? At this point, he knows he was overthinking but couldn't help but succumb to it.
āYeah..ā He sighs, slumping his back on the bench. āHe's probably not your type.ā
You flinch. āWhat?ā
āThere's not really much to like about him.ā Beomgyu shrugs.
āYou're wrong.ā
He sees you cross your arms, a frown present on your face. āI haven't really met him yet but from what I've seen in the past few years, I can say that there's a whole list of things one could like about him.ā
Oh?Ā Beomgyu certainly didn't expect this. āLike what?ā
āHe's one of the most considerate people I know.ā You smile. āSometimes I'd see him cleaning up after others, giving up seats on the bus, and going out of his way to help anyone in need. He even helped me out that one time I was late for our finals.ā You chuckle at the fond memory. It was the day you made up your mind about him.
āIt was pretty embarrassing though. I was running through the gates and tripped. I sprained my ankle and no one else was around except for Beomgyu. Turns out he was also running late but didn't even stop to think twice about helping me. He carried me to the nurse's office and stayed there until my friends arrived. I couldn't even thank him properly after that since I was pretty disoriented. In the end, we both had to take the finals at another time.ā
Beomgyu blinks. He can't believe you still remembered that day, especially when it was the very day he himself started crushing on you. Though, he'd always thought you didn't know who he was when that happened. āOh..ā He couldn't bring himself to say anything else.
āYou know what?ā
Beomgyu turns to you.
You smile. āHe's exactly my type.ā
Beomgyu didn't know what to feel. His cheeks heat up and he's sure it wasn't just the mask making him that way. You talked about that moment so fondly that it almost made him think that maybeā just maybe his feelings for you weren't all that one-sided after all.
He chuckles. He's about to do something stupid.
āY/N.ā
āHm?ā
āDo you perhaps..ā
āLike him?ā Beomgyu watches silently as you take the time to think.
This was probably too much. What if you didn't like him after all? Could he live knowing that he tricked you into answering that, thinking he was someone else. His thoughts come to a halt when you nod.
āI do.ā You chuckle. āNo use in hiding that now, huh?ā
Beomgyu gulps. āThen..āĀ Then what?
āHm?ā
āWhat if I say Beomgyu liked you too?ā
Your furrow your brows in confusion. āWhat?ā
Beomgyu grips the end of his mask. āI like you.ā
āYeonjun, you're not making anyāā
He doesn't let you finish, yanking the mask off his face and revealing his disheveled look underneath.
āBeomgyu?!ā You jump in surprise, and he stands up, following you. āHowāā
āI like you, Y/N.ā Beomgyu says, no longer caring about the consequences that'll follow after. āI really like you. I have for a long time now.ā
You stare at him, speechless. āI.. haha.ā You cover your face in your hands, laughing. āThis is a joke right?ā
āI wish it was.ā Beomgyu awkwardly shifts in his spot. āBut it's not. I'm being honest. I really like you.ā
You move your hands away, now looking at him. āYou know, as much as I want to hit you right now for tricking me into thinking you were Yeonjun all this time and basically had me going off about how much I appreciate you,ā You pause. āI just can't.ā You say, your cheeks reddening.
āY/N, Iāā
āThere you are!ā
Before either of you could react, Rina appears out of nowhere and grabs Beomgyu by the arm, practically dragging him way from you. āWe've been looking for you all night! Jin wants you in the kitchen asap.ā
Rina flashes you a thumbs up and you couldn't do anything but smile. āGood to see that your Beomgyu radar's still working!ā
Judging by the way he was being mercilessly dragged away from you, it looks like Beomgyu had his hands tied with no escape. He waves his free arm at you. And you get the message. You're gonna have to talk about this soon.
You look down at the flyers on your hands and couldn't help but blush.Ā He likes you too.

Inspired by this šāļø this is a song fic btw
Let's start!
3rd December...
It was a chilly day for the two, they we're outside of the dorms just watching the white snow on the ground and on the trees
āI still remember third of Decemberā
While they were out, they have to use warm clothes, Shuichi was wearing a shirt while wearing a sweater on the outside, he was wearing those comfy pants that people would use at cold days, he brought he's coat just to make sure he isn't that cold
But for Kokichi, he wasn't wearing something that you can call warm enough, he was wearing a thin long sleeved shirt, and the same comfy pants he would use every day if he decides to stay at the dorm, while he's bottom half is warm but the top wasn't, Shuichi could see him shivering on the bench
āMe in your sweater, you said it looked betterā
So he comes to he's side, and takes off he's sweater and give it to Kokichi, Kokichi was looking at him with a questioning look
āhere, wear it...ā
āwhy are you giving something that could keep you yourself warm, Saihara-Chan?ā
ācause you seem to be freezing, and don't worry I brought my coat just in case it was really cold...ā
āWhat?!! I'm not worried... Thank you...ā Kokichi mumbled the last part while he's face has a little tint of red, he took the sweater and wears it
āOn me, than it did you, only if you knewā
It has the smell of Shuichi clinging into it, the smell calmed him down and it has a left over of Shuichi warm around it to
āhere... I brought some hot chocolate... Want some?ā Shuichi was already wearing his coat, and he now has 2 cups of hot chocolate in a coffee cup
āwhere did that came from?" Kokichi had a dump founded face on him āseriously where did it came from??ā
āHow much I liked you,ā
āit's... Magicccccā Shuichi answered with the mimic of Himiko's voice, this made Kokichi laugh a bit, as he reaches the warm hot chocolate with he's hands
āthanks... Saihara-Chan...ā
12 January...
Kokichi was picking up he's stuff in he's locker, while Shuichi was waiting beside him
He was wearing Shuichi's sweater as it seems that the cold weather hasn't disappeared yet
When he was done he finally turned to Shuichi āi'm done Saihar-ā he was cut of from the way Shuichi was starting at another individual
ābut I watch your eyesā
He looked over to spot the one and only Piano Freak of the school, Kaede Akamatsu
If he was being true to himself, he didn't like Kaede that much as she was to hipity hopety, and he can see that she has a crush on Shuichi
āAs she walks by
What a sight for sore eyes
Brighter than the blue sky
She's got you mesmerizedā
While Shuichi was focused on her, he's body moved by he's own as he leaves Shuichi standing by his locker
It had felt as if he didn't exist anymore, and honestly...
That killed him inside...
āwhile I dieā
(this part is where Kokichi sings the song- I changed it a bit-)
āWhy would you ever kiss me?
I'm not even half as pretty
You gave me your sweater
It's just polyester
But you like her better
Wish I were Heather...ā
Kaede was standing beside Shuichi while holding he's hand, they were used with holding each other, people would even think they were together, but Shuichi would denied immediately
āWatch as she stands with her holding your handā
They were walking with each, while Kokichi was watching in the far distance
He was clinging on Shuichi sweater as if it's hugging him, he was getting really cold
āPut your arm 'round her shoulder, now I'm getting colderā
Even though he hates it when they get clingy to each other, he couldn't hate her at all, she was still kind to him like she does with everyone else
āBut how could I hate her? She's such an angelā
āBut then again... kinda wish she were dead...ā
(you could say we change POV to Shuichi, this is when he was looking at Kaede a while ago)
āAs she walks by
What a sight for sore eyesā
While Shuichi was looking at Kaede, he felt the lost of Kokichi's presences
He turns he's head to Kokichi's locker, but he's few was looking at Kokichi's back
āBrighter than a blue sky
She's got you mesmerizedā
He reaches for him with he's hand, but he was to far to reach, the lost of he's presence made Shuichi felt the loneliness
It felt like he was drowning, while dieing at the same time...
āWhile I dieā
Shuichi was now on the roof top with his thoughts, all alone-
He felt empty...
While he wasn't around I feel empty, sad, and lonely... Even when I'm with Kaede it's still feels like I forgot to tell him something, Shuichi thought
He started to whisper a song through he's mouth
āWhy would you ever kiss me?
I'm not even half as pretty
I gave you my sweater
It's just polyester
But i like you better...
Wish I were Heatherā
A few days later, everything has become distance, they haven't talked for awhile
They felt the loneliness inside, they we're distance but they wished to stay close
āWish I were Heather
(Oh, oh)
Wish I were Heatherā
A few days later Kaede confessed to Shuichi, but Shuichi turned him down
āi'm sorry Akamatsu-san...ā
Kaede was quiet for awhile until a question pop's out
āis it because... You like someone else?ā
Shuichi slowly nods answering her question, Kaede smiled at this even though it was a sad smile knowing it wasn't her but she still smiled just for Shuichi with tears in her eyes
āGo get him than..!ā
Shuichi looked at Kaede one last time, and after that he smiled at her saying her final words after the confession
āThank you..."
Shuichi turns around to go find the one he loves, while he was doing that Kaede thought to herself
At least he's happy with him... You better take good care of him Ouma-kun, Kaede thought
āHey... You okay?ā
Kaede turns around to see a green haired guy with piercings on his ear, she smiles at him
āyeah.. I'm okayā
āwanna go to the cafe to get a drink?ā
Kaede blushed a bit, but she still kept the smile on her face, a warm smile that can warm someone's heart
āyeah... That would be great, Amami-Kunā
While the conversation with Kaede and Rantaro was going on, Shuichi was still searching for him
He was going around they're favorite places they would go to, while he was passing them he remembers the times when they were together
He finally finds him at they're favorite park, a few people are around a few are going home as it seems to be the evening time
He was sitting on the bench under a tree, Kokichi spotted him and so he stands up while still looking at Shuichi
Shuichi comes closer with every step he took, while he was doing that he can hear Kokichi lightly singing as if he was showing his emotions trough it
"Why would you ever kiss me?
I'm not even half as pretty
You gave me your sweater
It's just polyester
But you like her better
Wish I were...ā
Before he could finish he's sentence, Shuichi tackles him with a hug, it was warm like he's sweater, he could smell the usual perfume Shuichi would use
He's eyes were wide, but he slowly close his eyes and embrace Shuichi with a hug as well
Title: Warm Like your Sweater (yeah Ik it's bad :v)
Yeah, I'm done hope you guys like it, this will be on Wattpad as well on my SaiOuma one shot

Not happening. (Not again)
He sighed in pure annoyance and hatred while walking slowly behind the desperate girl that was running and whimpering for help on that filthy alley.
He didn't even wasted his energy running after, because he knew that no matter what, that girl would always come back to him by force or by will. Especially when she didn't want it any more deaths happening because of her curse...
Nobody understanded. Nobody. Eri's blood was essential for reviving the old man's wish and dream... and to free his dear one from her curse.
He didn't had much time...
~
"Sir?" The doctor spoked aprehensively with Chisaki while you got out from the hospital bed "Mind if we talk for just a bit?... alone?"
He arched his eyebrow in pure disgust and annoyance while you giggled and waved your hands up in the air.
"Is okay! I will get out." You looked at Chisaki with a smile before discretely caresing his gloved hand "I will wait for you outside on the waiting room, right?"
"Be careful." He said simply, the moment you closed the door his body immediately froze while his gut told him subsconciously that.. something bad was going to happen.
This usually appeared minutes before he saw you dying...
"Overhaul sir..." the doctor sighed with grief "About your partner's quirk.."
"Spit it out." He growled while glaring daggers at the doctor.
"... you might want to take a seat." The man showed with his palm at the chair in fron of his desk.
Despite being so aprehensive, and dare he say anxious, he sitted slowly, glaring at him for answers. The man sighed, while locking his hands together on the desk.
"She has not much time left." Kai's eyes widened like they never had before on his life, gloves dissapearing in one blink of a eye.
"..what?" He breathed out, his spine going colder and colder by the infuriating tic and toc from that clock hanging on the wall.
"Her quirk. I treated her father once, so I sadly know the deal..." he looked up at Chisaki with a sour expression "Pardon me for asking... but how many times did she..?"
"... I almost lost count. But I guess it was... 119..."
The doctor winced before taking inhaling, preparing to bring the bad news for the young man in front of him.
"Quirks like that have a certain... limit of atturing themselfs... You can guess that by many times she got weaker and more fragile to some of accidents right?" He saw Chisaki nodding a bit trembly.
"That means her body is not taking anymore... Overhaul, I am afraid to say this... but if she suffers another accident or even much loss of blood... her quirk is not going to work anymore and..."
"Will not... be back." He Ćaid in oure horror while the doctor nodded sadly, never once expecting to see such a face on the yakusa boss future leader.
"I am afraid so... Her father died by something so indignant, he fell down some stairs, something that it seems normal for us. But his wife told me that he had presented death by the number 119... just like your partner out there."
His heart dropped to his stomach as his eyes remained wide... one more. One more and you would be gone for real...
"You can't tell me there isn't a fucking cure for this." He hissed teh words, griping on his pants so hard that his knuckles turned white.
"Only by a miracle... maybe if her quirl was removed or something, her cells of the body would be slowly recuperating their strenght and health..." he sighed "But that's impossible. Unless you have someone like Eraserhead in your house and keeps using his quirk on her."
He lifted up abruptly from his chair, scaring a bit the man before he nodded and left his room with a bitter and insufferable taste on hsi mouth.
He opened the door and bites his tongue to not just cry and fall on your arms when he saw you reading some magazine and gently waved at him when noticed presence.
One more time.. and he would lose this...
"So. Any bad news?" You asked worriedly before he carresed your cheek, sighing in relief when your face melt in bliss at his touch.
"No. No, nothing of bad news." He lied bitterly before walking besides you "Just warnings for you to be more.. careful."
"Does he know it doesn't depend on me?" You asked sadly, frow returning "It just happens out of no where... you know that."
He sighed trembling before reaching for your hand, pushing you gently for him to be on the side of the street instead.
"I know this better than anyone angel... trust me." He sighed heavily, you tilted your head at his expression.
He wasn't wearing that stoic facade of his... he seemed more... angry? Desperate? Even determined you would guess.
"Kai? Did he said something else?" You pried, only receuving a shake of his head and a squeeze on your hand.
You... had a bad feeling about this... yet, couldn't tell what it was...
~
She stills keep running even knowing that he will get her after... seriously, he knew that childs were dumb but why keep making him waste energy and time?
He doesn't have time for her tantrums. He has to make those bullets for testing, curing his angel and prepared the marketing of the bullets on the underground.
Crush hero society. Cure the world from the hero syndrome. Bring the yakusa back to their glory days.... save his (Y/n)...
Those were the only things that kept him living. That gave a life purpose...
He wouldn't let Pops or his angel down. He knew that. He was going to prove this.
~
"Have you completly lost your humanity Chisaki?" Pops asked in pure horror after interrupting Kai's explanation from his plan.
Again. Again being refused. Why he can't understand that he just wants to repay him?! Is that difficult to get that this is for him and her?!
"... Lost my humanity?" He said darkly, walking slowly towards the elder "You took me in, I just want to repay you."
He lowered a bit his glove with his thumb, the elder catching what was happening before Chisaki continued.
"Lost my humanity you say? Tell me pops. How would you feel if your father figurine turned your ideas down constantly? Or even better yet.." he looked Pops dead in the eye, clenching his jaw while controling himself to not just break down.
"How would you feel if the love and light of your life, simply had a curse that just can't be cured. Keeps dying in front of your eyes every damn time... if you got something to cure them you would take it wouldn't you?"
He aproached even more and his glove fell down...
"Just lay back and relax. Is going to hurt just for a moment."
~
He growled at her sudden pleas starting to come out while she runned and kept looking back at him.
He had to do this. Stop running like a damn pest.
~
"He what?!" You asked in horror while lifting youserlf from the couch, immediately coming to him with hands on his arms.
He was pleased when he discovered that Pops and you grew found of each other... this explained your reaction when he told about his... current condition.
"Kai I'm so sorry..." you said almost tearing while he only stared into your eyes.
"Is not a problem. He is going to be alright soon. I know it." He carresed your cheek before frowing. "What are these clothes for?"
You looked down at yourself and your gym clothes, making a confused noise while looking back at him.
"What's the matter with them? I was going in for a run like I always do. Remember? Around the block?"
His eyes darkened in worry and hatred. No. You couldn't get out. What if something happened?
"You're not going." He growled while you arched a eyebrow at his tone of voice.
He never once lowered his voice with you excluding in some couple fights which were rare... so why?
"Excuse me?" You asked in disbelief "I was going with Ku-"
"Not with Chrono. Not with Mimic. Not with ANYONE." He growled whiel he glared daggers at you "You're not getting out of this place."
You tsked in anger before turning in your feet to walk out before he grabbed your wrist.
"Kai let g-!"
"You're NOT leaving this house. Understand (Y/n)?"
"Give me a good reason then!" You shouted this time, not even caring about how he despised those things.
"You want to just die outside like the other times? Is that it?!" He hissed in pure anger while you gasped in disbelief.
"Chisaki is only around THE BLOCK."
"You can be attacked. Suffer a car accident. Hell even trip in your own foot by how careless you are!"
"Is this worry now?" You laughed bitterly before yanking a bit your hand... without success on getting out of his grasp.
"Yes it is dammit! I'm tired of seing the only light on my dark life dying over anD OVER AGAIN!" He shouted, catching you off guard immediately.
A uncomfortable silence got between teh both of you while he breathed in and out to catch his breath and his compusture back.
He flinched a bit at your hand in his cheek before looking at you.
"I know it hurts... I told you many times that you can let go of me-"
"Like hell I would." He growled, grabbing your hand on his cheek and pressing it even more to hsi face.
You made one of your most sad and broken face before oushing him in for a hug. He catched you again off of guard when he wrapped without hesitation his arms around your waist and buries his face on the crook of your neck.
"... You know that always I will come back to you right?"
He broke at those words... knowing exactly that this time it wasn't true.
He let out a cry and just burried his teary eyes in your neck as his back shocked with every sob pass through his lips.
He couldn't lose you...
~
Ah great... that brat bumped into some hero...
He inhale to remain his compusture and to remain pacient while talking with those socks.
"You should be more careful." He started, Eri looking at him with terror "We don't want to cause any problems for the heroes."
The green haired boy looked up at him with the same look Eri gabe to him while the older and blonde one just gave him a look.
"Let's go home. Eri."

Into the Unknown- Sam Winchester x Reader
The reader is a Disnerd and is obsessed with Frozen. She watches the movie constantly and plays the soundtrack at high volume in the Bunker. How do the Winchester Brothers react?
A/N: So, I just watched Frozen II with my Mom last night and my favorite song is Into the Unknown. Panic! At The Discoās version is really good too! Iāve been this singing this song like crazy so I thought to incorporate the Winchesters into my singing world.
DISCLOSURE: I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE RIGHTS TO DISNEY OR ITS AFFILIATES! Lyrics are used for reference purposes ONLYĀ
Warnings: Dean being (slightly) mean, fluff, Disney singing, Sam being adorable
Word Count: 1429
Masterlist
There was something about the Frozen movies that just inspired you. Whether it was the bond between sisters, Anna and Elsa learning to respect each otherās differences and learning to love one another, or the goofiness and all-around adorable snowman that is Olaf. Maybe Sven and Christoff are what you love; talking Reindeerās are the big thing. Whatever the case may be, you couldnāt get enough! Youāve sat and watched the movie religiously since it came out on DVD and you played the soundtrack on repeat from your room, occasionally leaving the door open. Especially when the brothers or Cas werenāt around, youād leave your bedroom door open and crank your TV as loud as you could. The song you loved the most was Into the Unknown. Something about this song stood out to you more than the others. You can relate to needing to follow someone or something into the unknown; that described your hunter life. Originally, you were just a normal college student but soon after you graduated, your brother was killed by a shapeshifter and with the help from the Winchesters, you eventually defeated the monster and joined their little āclanā of Supernatural hunters.Ā
One day, while Sam, Dean and Castiel had been out on a hunt, you decided to clean up around the Bunker so of course, you played Into the Unknown and sang along as loudly as you could. You hadnāt realized the other hunts had come back earlier than they said they were going to, so you didnāt hear them come in. They remained silent as you continue singing and cleaning. Everyone froze in their places; your voice was captivating to them. No, you didnāt see yourself as a great singer, yet the angel and the Winchesters couldnāt seem to do anything at the sound of your voice. Sam, Dean, and Cas appeared to have been in a trance, and as you turned around, you jumped when you saw them staring at you.
āHoly shit you guys, you scared me! Whatā¦what the hell are you guys doing home so early?ā You say, holding your hand over your chest.Ā
āWe finished our hunt a bit earlier than we thought it would take,ā Cas explained.Ā
āOh, well, sorry, let me turn this off then.ā You say, hitting the power button on the small remote you took with you to control your TV.Ā
āYou didnāt have to do that, Y/N. We thought you sounded good.ā Sam complimented you, to which you just blew him off. Not being rude to him, you just smiled and looked away from him. Compliments from Sam were something that meant a lot to you. He didnāt give them out often, but when he did, it hit home for you. You admit, you had a big crush on the younger Winchester but admitting that to him is something you canāt do. Not like he had a long relationship with anyone and it wasnāt his fault either.Ā
āWell, I, uh, Iām going back to my room.ā You scurry off as quickly as you could, ignoring the calls from Sam.
āThat was weird. I hope sheās okay.ā Sam says to his brother and best friend.
āWho knows with her. Sheās kinda moody sometimes.ā Dean says, to which Sam whacks his arm. āOw!āĀ
āI wonder if she is menstruating.ā Castiel suddenly said, surprising both Winchesters.
āWhat?ā Dean asked, eyeing the angel suspiciously.Ā
āWell, I read in one of the books I found in the library about women and it said when they menstruate, they tend to be very āmoody.āā Cas explained.
āHow can you read about that crap, Cas?!ā Dean asked, astonished the angel would find interest in that topic.Ā
āItās good stuff to know Dean. Y/N is the only female in this Bunker. Being able to help her out wouldnāt kill us.ā Sam said.
āWhatever, you guys can help with the blood and mood swings,ā Dean said, shivering at the thought.Ā
āGood to know where you stand, man,ā Sam said, rolling his eyes at his brother.Ā
******************************************************************
Samās POV
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
(Oh)
I can hear you but I won't
Some look for trouble while others don't
There's a thousand reasons I should go about my day
And ignore your whispers which I wish would go away, oh
Whoa
You're not a voice, you're just a ringing in my ear
And if I heard you, which I don't, I'm spoken for I fear
Everyone I've ever loved is here within these walls
I'm sorry, secret siren, but I'm blocking out your calls
I've had my adventure, I don't need something new
I'm afraid of what I'm risking if I follow you
The lyrics to that song from Frozen was playing from Y/Nās room again. Sheās been listening to it nonstop and singing her little heart out. Honestly, I loved the sound so I crept over to her room, and leaned in close, to hear her voice better.Ā
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
(Oh)
(Oh)
God her voice was absolutely beautiful. Snap out of Sam! You canāt think like that. Donāt let her get too close; you canāt lose her like all the others.
āWhatcha doing little brother?ā Dean said, suddenly appearing behind me.
āJesus, Dean! Quit doing that!āĀ
āAre you spying on y/n?ā
āNo, Iām listening to her sing.āĀ
āSheās singing that stupid Frozen song again, isnāt she?āĀ
āYeah.ā
Dean rolls his eyes, ācanāt she pick any better songs?ā
āOh, leave her alone, Dean! I think she sounds beautiful.ā I defend y/n.
āReally?āĀ
āYeah, havenāt you seen the way her face lights up when she watches the movie? How passionately she sings? I mean, you can tell itās from within.ā
āAnd youāve noticed all this?āĀ
āI have.ā
Then Dean gasps, āoh my God, you like y/n!ā
My eyes widen. āWhat? No, no I donāt like her.ā I scoff.
āOh yeah? āDo you see the way her face lights up?ā āI think she sounds beautiful?ā Dean mimics me, proving his point.Ā
āOkay, okay, fine. I might have a bit of a crush on y/n.ā
āHa, I knew it! Sammyās in love!ā Dean cheered.
āFirst off, itās Sam. Second, Iām not āin loveā I just, really care about her.ā
āSure, you do. Okay, well, you gotta tell her! Y/N!ā Before I even get to react, Dean calls for the girl and, I begin to panic.
āHey guys, what are you doing in the hallway?ā She asks, opening the door, and looking at us. She looks adorable, with her hair tied back in a high ponytail, a tank top, and short shorts.
āSam has something heād like to talk to you about,ā Dean said, turning to look at me, while I just stood awkwardly.Ā
āWhatās up, Sam?ā She questions me, craning her neck a bit to look up at me.
āI uhā¦.ā
āSam? Whatās going on? You know you can trust me; weāre best friends.ā
āI know, y/n, I know. I just. Okay, please let me get this out before you say anything.ā
āAlright.ā She says, crossing her arms over her chest, that doesnāt do too well at showing sheās not wearing a bra.Ā Damnit, Sam, focus!
āOkay, well since you first came to live here, I was immediately attracted to you but I didnāt want to ruin things between us, just in case you didnāt feel the same, and the fact we live in the same place might make it all uncomfortable. I swear I tried fighting it but then you started singing Frozen songs and you make this really cute face when you watch the movie; your whole face lights up! And I really care about you and donāt want anything to happen to you. I have a strong need to protect you at all times and to be near you. And if that scares you, then good. Cause Iām absolutely terrified of falling in love with my best friend.ā
āSam, I-Iām so glad you said that because I am too. I am so scared to fall in love, let alone with you, but if youāre willing to, I want to give this thing a try. I really like you, too.ā She says.
āOh, thank God!ā I said, bringing her close to me to seal our deal with a kiss.
āOkay, this is weird since Iām pretty much half-naked here.ā She laughs.
āNah, it's fine. This is a really good look on you.ā I wink at her, leaning down to kiss her again.Ā
āWill you watch this with me?ā She asks.
āI would be honored.ā

This is the last human mimic alien we have to fight.
He's realized he's lost because you people aren't running wild having orgies and you're listening to the DNA4U
And further more You all don't want to share.
When i posted the video of Miss Shawntae telling snoop it was time to snoop her body up... And then Snoop went all seductive to the camera...
122895x1000= men that said "Nigga ima beat your ass you know my wo/man gonna see that. You ain't need to be showing yourself!".
76584284Ć1000= said "ew i hope i don't have my any asking me to do anything tonight after what i just seen. My imagination gonna kill myself! And i know that's just wrong wrong wrong!"
Now multiply the digits together before the multiplication sign and that is approximately minus 1000 That supported Snoops message.
I did all 3. I had to advert my eyes even. Although he couldn't even see me.
Now Snoop and i know each other over 8000zillion years. So i can easily put myself in his shoes.
So he would walk in and I be having sex and he just sit down and start having a conversation. Like we having BBQ ribs and not sexual intercourse.
His wife tho .... He would make sure "the white boy was covered" and tease her don't look. She look at the carpet... Eventually it kept going on so i took a picture off the wall and put it on the floor where she always sat.
She said "why you do that?"
"I realize the kids keep jumping on the bed and knock it off. Snoop stare at you If you move your face. And unless you're on LSD it's no fun staring at the carpet. So i gave it to you where it seems you always be looking although i had to take a pretty healthy guess. I just felt you was having the most miserable time of all and as my friend it was my honor to trip out and give you a gift"
She used the reflection to put on her makeup and slept in bed later.,Snoop quit being so paranoid. Cause she would face the wall and lean against him.
Point is... Snoop be all like he was watching sports to make sure we got the score.
I mean. Man. Earth. We tried everything we could to stop these aliens from wanting to habe orgies. Even,took,away,their dicks!!!
We did everything. Planet.
Y'all locked up with your soulmates made little difference on this kick of his.
I been doing it. I been riding like I been going around the world 500 times. I love sex.
82% of y'all all around the Earth been having sex.
4% have watched porno
18% have had 1 wild orgies of those 18% -- 32% had s second one. Of those 0.00004981% have gone onto a third.
Of those having 2 or more orgies 92% were aliens
Leaving 8% Of 18% of the entire world interested enough in watching or having sex with other people than their soulmate.
Who saved the world?
100% of humans.
You all get $5 and that includes children.
He's done all he could and he's failed. 100%
I think Edgar might be human... Looking at his alien structure in the film.
But he treated me like an alien. Im still a POW.
Alex had to sell a bed because he acted non human. And Alex worked hard on it to make it perfect for me.
I would been fine gloating from it. Fighting and being sassy to aliens.
But then someone claiming to care about me,most of all abandoned his son and law and daughter. And i hear stories of him being evil.
Some time ago they asked me "do you want a dad or mom?"
"No"
"We need to know because the future of the,Earth,depends on it. And the future of you. Now do you want a dad or,not?!"
"The question is will i remain needing a dad or father figure in the future. No i am fine. I have male role models to keep the species alive. Males. (Species not gender) I also have my mom in Mrs Harriet Tubmam. And if that fails then at that time i should be able to get the rest of me. But she's fine. I'm fine. I just got to remain stable. But adding a father or another mother i don't know just yet can remain disasterous."
Luckily Alex didn't burn the bed down. But it was,bugged and bombed by "Edgar", to me 'its just another one of those things we have to clean"
Do i care? Nothing. He doesn't affect me. I worry about Alex having to,deal with it. But,hes being,and,staying clean,and,then when he's,scared he stays by other cold turkey or non users. He was,around Crystal meth yesterday and he tasted 1/4 of a gram. Like when you would put your finger in the sugar jar. Then lick it. The other guy smoked 4.9876 ounces and blew it all in their faces including the babies. Thus Alex got 7.698 grams ingested via second hand smoke.
I didn't notice but we got in a fight with each other. Just like we always do.
Alex and i power punched him and his eye socket -- ocular bone -- was crushed like glass in 17 cracks.
His jaw I punched more alone but with Alex and total both sides he lost 9 teeth. And had to be wired shut after 72 stiches because i split his upper palate in two. I cracked his lower palate in 8072 places. So if you found a skull it would rest on powder of his lower jaw and then you'll find the upper. After decaying..
Then Alex on the top of his head had 49 stitches to repair his soft tissue from his frontal lobe when he crashed to the floor after the super punch to eye hit the coffee table.
He did get one "good" punch in -- his skull hit Alex right in the right eye.
It fucking hurt but it hurts in a good way. Its weird it's like "reward!" Pain. No suffering. Fucking got him good tho. We feel it every now and again. May be it is when he realises we will kill him for good. He keeps remembering that sudden silence of death.
He's currently on life support. "Medically induced coma" is our non panic code words. But it's basically life support but usually not full life support. It isn't 100% life support medical machines. Its 75% or less.
So technically it's life support and coma mixed. So we csll it medically induced coma. This way you understand if your family is the one on the machines -- it's only 25% body life.... However there's a 75% of recovery via healing machines.
The CIA. Willl decide when to pull the plug. Usually medically induced coma is someone evil or someone bad with the ability to be good. Usually aliens go straight to coma status.
If an alien will die it's 1st life support then coma. Your friend or family will die.
They said medically induced coma. But at this time. His brain is incapable of human thought so I am putting him on life support.
This makes it the family's wishes.
Most of the time "next of kin" is spouse then parents/siblings. Then children last.
Which is wrong. It should be the future. Thus Erica and Steven will ask the babies. And together they will decide.
Last night as a CIA operative while he was in a medically induced coma i was told by at least 1 child and 2 adults to pull. I reviewed. While they spoke from shock and relief their true feelings.
Knowing that the children escaped life with Eric once. I don't feel the right to allow Eric to live. I know the consequences of his actions caused two children to leave my planet in fear and terror and disgust because of Eric.
Erica was my 3rd pregnancy to abort and hold souls.
I hate Eric. That's why i punched him in the fucking face. I was happily surprised that Alex did it. Too in person.
Since the infants are involved and already resurrected. And had a nightmare of a time in less than 36 hours on Eaerth.
I allow them to be there to pull the plug, they can actually yank and pull the plug themselves.
So that is what i want and what the children need.
It will show Eric he doesn't belong here and has no,reason to,be at 25%
It makes life easier for all of us.
Eric was an outdoor kid. Like John and Jason and Greg. Etc. He never went into my school.
They didn't have to. And actually weren't ever enrolled. They liked the man work to learn to survive on their own.
While i taught the children the indoor stuff. The expansion of the mind.
I taught them the economy so the men working to increase their own economical structure could be helped to be taken in under their wings.
I left no one behind.
But he refused confirming.
1. Alcoholic system to drop other drugs. -- he uses crystal meth. Without cut backs. Without moderation
$5 if yoh remember and realized i said make smoothies without alcohol to share with your kids.
2. He blew it in their faces on purpose them injesting over 2.4 grams each.
Erica and Alex would cover their faces with thick blankets when the smoke came towards them.
It was quite a hostage situation. Knowing he could take the newborns and kill them in front of them.
Its happened to me 985 Point 2 times. I'm 35 years old.
875.8 times it's been with a knife.
Take the numbers and multiply by 10 million. For the last some kinda lots of 8 thousand zillion years.
It even happened to Alex. He he has the scars. From,this and last life., it,has happened.
So for me they're terrifying. Unless I'm there... I have saved 900 billion times 30 thousand. I those situations.
But i always remember the ones i lost.
So don't worry when I'm suicidal. Just leave me alone. Don't talk to me. I need silence.
So dead babies y'all.
Dead aliens.
It will be done
I seen that actually quite beautiful meme of April 2020 the clouds and UFO.
I don't get mad or violent because I'm stepped back to watch y'all cope.
But I say to y'all "fuck no that's not happening" I say to that UFO "Fucking try it you will all die" i just scroll on because I get so angry. I get so mad. Its a beautiful photo but i refused to repost it because it isn't something i support.
Most reposts of memes are supported unless i type something on the bottom. Saying it's not.
So my dad. I didn't care until i saw The Rock, "her dad is alive" all happy and in support.
Then i was bothered. Then I cared. Then i felt something about it. But until then i felt nothing.
I didn't feel shame..i felt that were all made of glass.
Because I was happy to have a dad.. One that seemed good. I was actually happy.
And it was kept personal to me... But then I saw the Rock felt it. Then I began to feel..
Broken. But Alex kept it together and started getting rid of the bed. Taking it down. Removing bombs. And fixing all that ass hole did "my dad"
I know the Rock.. He can handle. His dad just died. And we did a lot for him.
So for him to be elated. I get through the day thinking no one really cares what i feel and they don't pay kuch attention..but the Rock in that moment in time.
He was happy. And i knew then i had to Destroy a light of happiness inside him and he looked away from the camera to say "we are all happy. The while world"
DNA4U list one person as my father. He's my uncle..
Edgar claimed it was his 18th cousin.
You know, it doesn't matter.
Donate. Mr Lee Tubman. And more. They're my dads. They kept me safe. Taught me to be wiser and more caring about myself. Donte was 2 years younger than me. But he was a father figure. Guy was the fun dad. Fred Flintstone i called one friend's dad was the fishing buddy. We were not close but he was a silent father figure.
I stole all my friends dads. Borrowed them. Their moms, too.
I have 1800 moms that I call mom.
I know who my moms and dads are.
Just like Erica called me mom the other day and Brittany will too. And Alex my cousin's son. Candy. Brandy. Declan.
So i know i have a family that understands it doesn't matter how I got here. It matters who treated me well. Matthew McCognohey. Kid rocks. They're like my dad's and my kids. Uncles and Cousins.
Blood doesn't matter. Shit half the time Snoop is my God or dad or bother or husband or little kid i have to save. He's my friend.
Snoop is too much of everything. He is my co-nigger. My partner in many crimes against humanity (practical jokes)
I call him my Friend. But my family wouldn't be complete without him and Shawntae.
Harriet. I call her momma all the time. It feels natural. Sometimes i call her old lady.
So while i was joyful for a moment thinking I found someone that actually cared to find out he didn't.
I myself wasn't affected until i knew others would be
Its just a lesson in life. Don't trust people.
I told Alex abandon ship, fuck that place. Ain't no one can go in there!!
He understood and agreed then took the role "no,one is driving me and her from our home." He decided to defend the homestead. That is the role a man takes
Im all you gotta sweep the whole place,then,rest and do,it again,2 more times at least.,Then,again when,I,get there. If i get there.
But i feel good to know my lover isn't gonna let anyone drive him down. Just turn around. Learn a lesson. Clean the mess.
Why do i need a father when i have a man?
Clearly i am an independent woman and always have been.
But i need a family. Otherwise I have no point to live.
And that is why i am suicidal.
I don't see s point to live. Not when Alex and i fight and i don't want him to talk to me cause some alien got in our way once again.
He was double attacked by aliens.
So if their desire is for me to die... Then they should keep,doing it.
If,not they need to stay out of my way so i can,get my family,together again.,in,real life.
My family that I know is my family. Not aliens. Not fans. Not someone that needs to apologize to me or needs an explanation.
People that can think on their own and not be reminded they need to have love in their spirit.
Now Snoop sometimes plays the role of my brother. And we are competitive. It just makes us proud of each other and ourselves for surviving a challenge. I do it to him too but I play old hard skill. He plays old new remember when. I do ancient V-Ball and he does pop and country experience.
So his spirit is of an ego -- which salutes the fact we will grow.
Often we do the spirit of mischievous. To remind danger still exists but we will have fun and love in the end.
Friend. Someone that is gonna fry you but the end od what matters.
Sometimes we relax and chill. But them old cogwheels of the mind never quit rolling. Advance. Advance. Lets keep it going don't stop.
He's like me. Suicidal.
But he used to release his inner poison. Now he makes it not exist by doing something else ....
But me? Nothing helps but the mimic of death itself. Silence.
People are what causes it. Alien people.
So you humans. Keep on being you.
Its you that is gonna save the world
I gave you guidelines to help us out this mess.
Because I can't even see y'all because the aliens surrounding me trying to get my last breath.
Show me you. Save us. You're doing good
I got $5 on y'all that we make it.

Jaune, nervously: So uh....how do I look?
Pyrrha, smiling: You look very handsome, Jaune.
Jaune, smiling: T-thanks, that mean a lot. I'm just a little bit nervous is all.
Ruby: Don't worry Jaune, we prepped you for this date. So you got this. There's nothing to worry about. You're going to knock him dead.
Jaune, awkwardly swallowing: R-right. You're right. I just need to stay calm.
*Suddenly someone knocks on the door and Neptune walks in*
Neptune, in a suit: Hey, are you ready?
Jaune, awkwardly: Y-yeah, I'm ready. Let's go.
Pyrrha: Actually, can I talk to you for a moment, Neptune? It'll only take a second, I promise.
Neptune: Uh yeah, sure.
Pyrrha, smiling: Great. Be right back, sweetie. *Kisses Ruby's cheek*
*Pyrrha leads Neptune out of earshot from Jaune*
Pyrrha, putting an arm around his shoulder: So here's the thing Neptune. You see that boy over there? *Points to Jaune*
Neptune: Uh....yeah?
Pyrrha: You see, he's special to me. Treated me right when others didn't. So he has a special place in my heart, you know? Like a brother of some sort.
Neptune: Okay?
Pyrrha, patting him on the back: I like you Neptune. You seem like a swell guy, and Jaune obviously likes you.
Neptune: Oh, thank you.
Pyrrha: But.
Neptune: But?
Pyrrha, still sweetly smiling: So help me God, if you hurt this boy, make him cry or anything like that; then I'll hunt you down to the end of the earth. There won't be a place where you will be able to hide from my wrath. It'll be a game to me, and a game that I'll win.
Neptune, nervously: Uh......
Pyrrha: Not only that, but I'll then take you to his older sister, who would be equally as mad as me, and together, we'll make your death so painful and agonizingly slow that you'll wish you were never born.
Neptune, nearly shitting himself:............u-uh.
Pyrrha, still smiling sickly sweet: So, do we have an understanding?
Neptune: Y-yes ma'am. Ill never dream of hurting him.
Pyrrha, smiling wider: Good. Cause if you do *mimics scissors with her fingers* Then say goodbye to your boys. Snip snip.
Neptune:............
Pyrrha: Now go enjoy your date. And don't worry about curfew, just show him a nice time.
Neptune: Y-yes ma'am.
*Neptune quickly hurries out the door while holding Jaune's hand*
Ruby, holding Pyrrha's hand: So, what did you want to talk to him?
Pyrrha, chuckling: Oh you know, just wishing him goodluck on the date.
Ruby, kissing her cheek: That was sweet of you.

I had a dream: Deantrbl grew a beard!
Soooo I just had a dream last night and I'm glad I still remember some part of it which were probably the most epic parts of it and I would like to post it here and share with you guys because I want to remember this dream till the day I die hahaha jk (or maybe not lol)
Note: this will be like a fanfic or scenario kind of things and most of it don't make sense because again it is a dream and dreams don't usually make sense.
WARNING! I never write anything like this so if my story telling is confusing the excuse me lol. I'm not used to doing this kind of stuff I just want to share what I had in my dream last night (jan. 6, 2019) also I haven't had sleep so please try to understand if I have typos lol
Characters/real & unreal? people involved:
Dean( Deantrbl/deanfluenza/Kwon Hyuk)
Zico(Block B, Woo Jiho)
An old funky,adorable,kinda mischievous type of Granny (yep that's right there's an old lady involved)
Me(the dream is in my P.O.V.)
G.soul(in his red hair era) kinda the antagonist but not really
SimonD(but I'm not sure if it really is him or some other rapper..idk) kinda the antagonist's side kick lol
Ok so here it is...
****
I went in a room that seems like a basement mancave kinda dark and with neon lights around the room. As I walk in towards the couch I saw Dean sitting in a very comfortable way like he's chillin with his arms spread across the backrest of the couch and on the other couch beside it was Zico who was also chillin. But what shookt me the most was Dean, Kwon freakin Hyuk had a freakin BEARD!!! And it looked so good on him. (He actually looked soooooo hot and he was wearing a loose green t-shirt that exposes half of his arms and his neck and also his hair...omg his hair...he still had it in a man bun but the curls were much better. He had a cute twirt on the sides of his face like how he likes to have it haha and he bleached his hair again close to the roots and it was a bit lighter so he looked really cool and hot ajdjhadfgjdz.) And then suddenly I turned into a youtube viewer wherein I was watching that actually scene I saw few moments ago...and I was practically trying to screenshot every single angle dean has because that bearded Dean is a rare jewel (idk if he's ever gonna think of growing a beard lol) so I'm saving all that screenshots for my life. (Also I was low key waiting for my phone notifs of dean's fan accounts to pop up and see if they saw dean's new look but there weren't any) so I kinda felt a bit excited knowing I was one of the first to see him like that HAHAHA...
Then I got back to the actual scene (no longer a youtube viewer) and so I walked closer towards them then suddenly a pizza appeared on both of them and they were eating it exaggeratedly as if they're filming a pizza commercial (their expressions after eating the pizza are oscar worthy hahaha). And I was like whuuuuuut?! And I was just like watching them dunno if I'm suppose to praise them or laugh at them but they seem to be really proud of what their doing and wanted to hear some praises like lil dorky kids haha
Also the lil granny appeared out of nowhere sitting next to Dean and dean was now laying on the other couch (him amd zico kinda switch places) then the granny tried to lay beside dean as if wanting for a cuddle hahaha ( ok this might seem weird and all but in my dream it was kinda cute scene cause the granny had a cute innocemt vibe to her and everybody loves her but she kinda has a funny/naughty side to her but not in a cougar/slutty kinda way lol if u know what I'm sayin)
And so dean hugged her cutely from behind and I was supposed to feel jealous (as if I am dean's gf Ha! I wish it was real lol) but I was not jealous at all instead I kinda jokingly said it's ok granny I'll let you borrow deam for.a while hahaha
Then the action kicks in!
Suddenly a guy break in the room through the window and was holding a gun pointing at our direction like those police trying to arrest people...and it was G.soul in his bright red hair then came in after him was I think SimonD or someone else and he was kinda out of the place and clueless but just follow what g.soul does haha
Then I looked at the couch and saw zico holding armalites (like long guns..idk what it's called) and he was suddenly like in rambo mode with lots of gun hanging on to him then he handed out one to Dean and their like ready to fight but the it didn't feel dangerous or hostile and I was still like..whuuuuuuuuuut?! (Whut is happening?what are u guys doing? Is this for real? Should I fight too?) Then I shift my sight to Dean and he put the gun on the other side and grab something....He picked a granade and tried to take the pin out with his teeth but then he realized something. . .It wasn't an actual granade but a soft squishy one and he was like "whuuuuut the?" ~
then he found out it was the granny's squishy toy that she use as a stress ball kinda and he handed it over to her while giggling then the granny was amused saying "my squishy! u found my squishy~" then she squeezed it on her cheeks while smiling and I was like...aweeee
Somewhere in the background the I can sense or hear the 3 guys intensely fighting (but don't worry I think nobody got injured or died and there were no gorey/bloody scenes)
And then my dream was cut cause I woke up
The End
Here's Dean with beard. I tried to mimic the actual look he has in my dream but can't find a nice angle I've seen a few pics of him showing that kind of vibe but his angles on the pic were not good to put a beard on (cuz I only used a beard app haha)
He kinda look like a homeless guy here but trust me he looks so hot in my dream and it actually suits him haha
Here's another one much cleaner looking lol

Horseshoe Overlook - Paying a Social Call
Four days went by as the coarse ropes dug sores into her wrists and ankles. She was still wearing the dress that she had changed into before her father was killed. She was only offered water early in the morning and food late in the evening. Her stomach constantly rattled, telling her brain that she was on the brink of starving as well as fatigue. She felt utterly weak and severely dehydrated. She leaned her head back as she felt another wave of nausea hit her, wondering if death would be a better option.
"What's wrong? Ya hungry?" She heard Colm mock as he sat in one of the chairs at the small table, counting heaps of money.
"Not too bad," She croaked, not wanting to give up her fight.
"Good, 'cause ya got a few more days," He smirked.
"Before what? You kill me? I can't wait." She rolled her eyes.
"No, before we turn ya in." He replied.
"I'm countin' the hours." She replied, looking up at the ceiling, wishing that those days would never come.
"Boss, you sure this is a good spot?" One of his men asked as he walked into the cabin, looking down at Minnie before giving her a sharp kick to the hip, rattling her wave of nausea once more.
Colm's brows rose as he put down the money he was counting, "We ain't been shot up yet, have we?" He snarled. "Besides, looks like her pa had some money stashed away in the chest there. Looks to be a few thousand." He chuckled, purposely fanning the money in front of Minnie, showing her that it was in fact the money she would gift to her father every time she came to visit, realizing that he never deposited it as it was stolen money.
She frowned as she remembered the thought before her hazel eyes stared daggers into Colm's, "That don't bother me." She taunted.
He pursed his lips as he didn't like being mocked by the only woman he wanted most. He thought twice about killing her himself after he had his way with her, but something about her emerald hazel eyes and her flushed complexion made him rise and he couldn't think of her feeling cold.
"What're we doin' with her?" One of his men asked.
"Few more days and I'll have you and Tom take her to Saint Denis and turn her in for the bounty. That money will be enough to get us outta this dump and somewhere nice. Sell her horse, too." Colm suggested as he finished counting the money before storing some of it in the brick of the chimney, keeping it hidden.
"And you?"
"I'm gonna finish countin' this money here and have a few of my guys follow me back to our other hideout to stash it. A place like this is likely to catch like a torch. Can't have all of it goin' to waste." Colm explained.
"Alright, boss. I'll keep a lookout while you're away," The old man said. Minnie looked at him disgusted as his thin brown hair and thick mustache coaxed his face. His brown eyes had the look of hatred in them as he did his best to be at the top of the pack, earning a special place in the O'Driscoll gang.
āāāā» Ā·āĀ· ā»āāā
Arthur stretched as he awoke with the morning sun, embracing the cool spring air as it was his ideal temperature. He walked to the fresh pot of stew, spooning his bowl full before getting a tin of coffee, wondering what he was going to do throughout the day. He looked around to see what members were missing as they all had a few side quests and activities to do, seeing that every member, except Trelawny, was not present.
"Mister Morgan," He heard a familiar voice say, meeting him at the table he was eating at, taking a seat next to him.
"Yes, Miss Grimshaw?" He asked.
"Mister Matthews gave me a message for you, he said when it was convenient to head into Emerald Ranch. He's lookin' at a few business things there." Susan explained.
"Okay." Arthur nodded.
Susan chuckled, "He'll find something, too, he always does."
"That he does." Arthur chuckled.
"Well, you be well, Mister Morgan," She smiled.
"I'm always well, Miss Grimshaw." He assured as he put his daily token of gratitude within the camp funds box. With his tin of coffee, he made his rounds throughout the camp, smirking at Kieran Duffy still tied to the tree since they arrived in Horseshoe Overlook. 'He's damn lucky we picked out a tree with shade,' Arthur thought to himself as he walked up to the young man.
"Please, talk to them for me!" Kieran begged.
"You got some speakin' to do of your own... About that old gang of yours." Arthur taunted.
"I said... I told you... I don't know nothing!"
"That's what I thought."
"Woah! Hold your horses there," Dutch intervened as he was accompanied by Bill, walking quickly to the situation, afraid that Arthur was going to start beating the man. "It seems the cat has got our friend here's tongue. I was thinking Mister Williamson could have a word."
"You ready to talk boy?" Bill taunted, puffing his chest.
"I told you, Mister... I told all of you. I don't know nothing, okay? They-They ain't no friends of mine. I just been ridden with them for a while." Kieran explained.
"Horseshit!" Bill hissed, clenching his fists. "You see, we heard that part, so why don't you tell the truth? Dutch, what do you want me to do?" He asked.
"Hurt him so the next time he opens his mouth, it is to tell us what is going on!" Dutch commanded. "Ah, who am I kiddin'? One of O'Driscoll's boys couldn't open his mouth but he'd tell a lie. Screw it, let's just have some fun, huh? Geld him." He said, using his fingers to mimic a scissor to Bill, seeing that he was eager to do the deed.
"Oh yeah!" Bill replied, quickly breaking away to retrieve the tongs from the fire.
"What's he doing? Where's he going?" Kieran asked before Dutch pulled down the young man's pants, exposing him.
"Oh don't worry! They're only balls, boy! Just gonna cause you trouble!" Dutch warned. "You know, in Imperial Rome, eunuchs was among the happiest and most loyal of courtiers." He explained.
"No, no, no, no... You're kidding me right?" Kieran panted, his legs shaking as Bill was coming closer with the hot tongs.
"Of course." Dutch replied.
"You sick bastards! What do you want from me?" Kieran cried, trying his best to keep his legs pressed together.
"Well, you are going to talk. The only question is now or after we got these little fellers off?" Dutch explained.
"Okay! Okay! Listen, I know where O'Driscoll's holed up and you're right, he don't like you any more than you like him. He's supposedly at Six Point Cabin! He's been talkin' about it for months. I'll take you there... Serious," Kieran panted. His eyes looked around frantically, hoping that the men wouldn't continue their torture antics. He looked over at Arthur briefly as he never said a word while Dutch and Bill were interrogating him, regarding the pale look on his face as if he were worried, but he didn't think much of it. "I don't like him. I mean, I like him even less than I like you, no offense."
"None taken." Dutch replied, fanning off Bill to put away the gelding tongs.
"Okay then, partner," Arthur finally said, taking his knife and cutting Kieran free from the tree. "Why don't you take a few of us up there right now. I got this, Dutch," Arthur nodded, jerking the young man along with him as well as Bill. "Should be fun. Alright you, come on!" Arthur said as he shoved Kieran in front of him as he pulled up his trousers, trying to hide his embarrassment.
Bill and Arthur chuckled along behind him as they walked to their horses, "Let's both hope you ain't tryin' to trick us, O'Driscoll." Arthur warned.
"I ain't no O'Driscoll!" Kieran protested.
"But you sure as shit was," Arthur growled. "John, come on! We got a social call needs makin'! Where we headin'?" He asked as his heart was beating rapidly. Six Point Cabin, the same cabin the old man he met in town told him about. The same cabin that he associated with Minnie Barlow as the old man was in fact her father. 'He better hope she ain't dead,' He hissed to himself, taking out his anger towards the young man, still wondering to himself as to why he felt the need to be so protective over her when they never even officially met.
"Up into the hills behind Valentine, I'll show you." Kieran said.
Arthur groaned as he mounted his horse, "John, you take this little rattlesnake with you... Any nonsense, kill him."
"Sure." John replied, also mounting his horse.
"We're gonna pay your buddies our respects." Arthur mentioned.
"He taking us to Colm?" John asked.
"That's what he says," Arthur grumbled. "Come on."
'Off to rescue a damsel in distress,' Arthur thought to himself as he was hoping this ride to the cabin was quick.
āāāā» Ā·āĀ· ā»āāā
Arthur's heart pounded as they approached the cabin, seeing that it was overrun with O'Driscoll's. He grew angry at what they had done, not even knowing if she or her father was alive or not.
"The cabin's in the clearin' down there," Kieran whispered. "There'll be a bunch of fellers hidin' out there too."
"Are these fellers armed?" Arthur asked.
"Armed. Drunk. Wary of strangers." He replied.
"And Colm O'Driscoll?" Arthur added.
"Oh, he'll be holed up in that cabin. Be passed out, booze blind, likely as not."
"Over there, someone's comin'." Bill warned as he motioned for them all to get down, John doing so by covering Kieran's mouth to keep him from yelling to his former gang.
"So, uh, who's gonna tell him we ain't got nothin' for the pot?" The men heard the strangers say from below the ridge.
"Let me think, the feller that spooked the game I reckon!" The other replied.
"I'm gonna drain it, I-I'll catch up," One of them said, leaning against a tree to relieve himself.
Arthur looked to John and Kieran, "Shh... Come on," He whispered to Bill, sneaking down the ridgeline.
"What're we doin' about the pisser, Morgan? The one by the tree?" Bill asked as they both took out throwing knives from their possession.
"He's yours, Williamson," Arthur directed, watching Bill nod as he easily took out the man before they both moved on to the pair of members waiting on him, also keeping watch on the camp.
"Good work. We movin' on the camp?" They heard John whisper after killing the two guards. "I left our guide up there. He's meek as a little lamb." John chuckled.
"He better be." Arthur growled.
"What about the one on the log?" John whispered.
"Kill him quietly, Marston," Arthur directed. "Get your hands dirty for a change." He teased.
John chuckled as he made his job look easy, hearing a 'Jesus Christ' from Arthur as he witnessed it.
Their stealth killings didn't go unnoticed as they were spotted by a lone guard, triggering the hail of gunfire in the quiet oasis of the wilderness. A few, long minutes later, Arthur finally halted his gunfire, insisting for Bill and John to start searching the bodies. "I'm gonna go search the cabin!" Arthur announced before being shocked at the discovery of Jameson's body hidden in the old wagon just outside the cabin. His heart broke as the old man had so much to live for, yet he wondered if the same happened to his daughter or if she had escaped. As much as he wished to rescue her, his mind immediately thought of the worst. He sighed as he holstered his pistol, walking up the steps to the cabin before being pushed down by the door, greeted by a smirking man and a shotgun barrel in his face.
Arthur accepted his fate as he braced himself for the blast, only to be halted by the man above him being shot. With a confused look, he turned his head to see Kieran shakily holding a pistol, shooting the man and saving Arthur's life.
"You alright?" Kieran asked as he made sure the enemy stopped breathing.
Arthur's breath hitched as he didn't even want to think that an O'Driscoll saved his life, let alone admit it. He lay his head back down, taking a deep breath, "Sure, thank you." He replied sarcastically before groaning to his feet, storming to the young man as he was soon met by Bill and John. "Colm O'Driscoll... He ain't here. You set us up!" He growled. "Come here!" He demanded as the young man slowly approached him with his hands up. Arthur was sure that if he was a dog, his tail would be tucked between his legs while he pissed himself.
"What?" He dared to ask.
"You set us up!" Arthur hissed.
"No, I didn't!" He protested.
"You did, Colm O'Driscoll ain't here!" Arthur argued, aiming his pistol at the young man's head.
"He was here, I swear! I sw- If I was setting you up, I-I wouldn't have saved your life," Kieran pleaded.
"It's a good point, Arthur," Bill intervened, putting himself in between Arthur and Kieran.
"Alright then, go on, get out of here." Arthur addressed.
"Eh?"
"I won't kill ya."
"I didn't set you up,"
"Get lost!" Arthur demanded.
"Get lost?"
Arthur's face wrinkled as he grew angry, grabbing Kieran by the collar, "I'm lettin' you run away now go on, get out of here!"
"That's as good as killing me!" Kieran argued, daring to walk back towards Arthur. "Out there, without you- Colm O'Driscoll's gonna lose his mind about this!" Kieran pointed.
"So?" Arthur scoffed, resting his palm on his hip.
"So I'm one of you now." Kieran addressed, pointing his finger at him.
Arthur sighed, scratching at his beard, "Give me a break. Aright then," He said as he walked closer to Kieran, pointing his finger in his face, "But I'm warning you."
"Oh, I know,"
"Come on, let's get to camp." Arthur directed as his immense heartbreak couldn't dare to handle the sight of a deceased Jameson and Minnie Barlow.
"So you got the cash then?" Kieran asked, stopping Arthur, Bill, and John in their tracks.
"What cash?"
"Yeah, there's usually some cash in the chimney. Colm always talks about it whenever he plans to take over someplace," Kieran said as he attempted to walk towards the house, only to be stopped by Arthur.
"I'll check it! Rest of you boys get to camp, quick."
"See, Arthur, I ain't so bad!" Kieran proposed.
Arthur turned on his heel, "Hey Bill, you tell Dutch old Kieran ain't worth killin' just yet!" The men nodded as they made their way to camp while Arthur was eager to search the cabin for clues of Minnie Barlow, only to be stopped dead in his tracks by the woman herself, tied up harshly to the cot post with her head tilted back. His jaw dropped as he assumed her to be dead by her pale complexion. He lost all moisture in his mouth as he was still shocked. He hesitated to take a step towards her, even though he didn't think she had any life in her. 'Jesus,' He thought to himself, feeling that it was wrong to search the cabin, feeling like he was robbing her.
He slowly moved around the cabin, the two photos on the hearth catching his attention. He grinned as he looked at the photo of Jameson and his wife on their wedding day before looking at the photo of Minnie as an infant. "Minnie Anna Barlow," He said to himself before putting the photo back on the mantle before turning back to look at her still in the same position. "Guess I'll bury you and your pa someplace proper," He said quietly, knowing that she wouldn't reply. He took out his knife, cutting the rope from her ankles before locating the rope tying her wrists together, finding that there was no rope binding her. As he realized what was happening, the cold feeling of a revolver's barrel was pressed against his exposed chest. 'Smart woman,' He thought, his blue eyes meeting her hazel eyes once more. His breath hitched as she was the most beautiful woman he had seen in quite a while, which was a long while. He didn't want to admit that no matter how beautiful she was, she scared him.
"I don't think so, cowboy," She hissed. She recognized his eyes immediately, but she didn't know what he was capable of and why he was there. In a way, she was grateful that he was, even in the unfortunate circumstances that were about to unfold.
"Woah, easy," He pleaded, holding his hands up in surrender. "I'm not here to hurt you."
"Then why are you here?" She questioned, slowly standing to her feet.
"It's a long story," He sighed, shaking his head, hiding his embarrassment by the brim of his hat.
"What? You one of those O'Driscoll's comin' to finish me off?"
"No, we just killed all them O'Driscoll's, Miss," He tried to explain. "I-I met a man named Jameson in Valentine a few days back and he invited me up here to go huntin'. Well, a couple of weeks ago, we picked up a straggler that ran with Colm and were plannin' to use him as bait. We threatened to torture him if he didn't talk and he said that he knew Colm was plannin' to hide out here and I immediately thought of Jameson," He explained, his hands still up in surrender.
Minnie sighed, lowering her weapon, "Jameson is my father. Colm killed him. He was plannin' to turn me in for the bounty. I don't have much to live for anymore, just take me in." She frowned. As much as Arthur would've liked to have eight-thousand dollars, he couldn't bring himself to take her in, especially in such a fragile state. He could tell she was on the brink of personal famine as well as dehydration. "Do you want me to take you in?" He asked.
She nodded as she refused to look him in the eyes, ashamed of herself. He frowned too before daring to step closer to her, "You know what I'll have to do." He stated.
"I don't care what you have to do. Those men tossed me around like a ragdoll and I couldn't fight back. They starved me and tried to take advantage of me, only to beat me harder when I fought back. Please, Mister, swinging by the neck is far better than this pain I'm in now," She frowned, holding her wrists together, waiting for him to tie them together.
There was no way he was turning her in, but he wasn't going to tell her that. He looked down at the sores on her wrists before looking back at her delicate face, "Do you have any more weapons on you?" He said quietly.
She shook her head, dropping the pistol on the floor.
"Turn around," He said even softer, hating himself for even having to talk this way to a woman, especially one he was minorly attracted to, but he shook that thought from his head as he had to treat her just like every other bounty. He had no idea what she was capable of.
She nodded as she did as he asked, turning her back to him, hoping that he was just going to shoot her, but he didn't. She started to sob quietly as she felt his calloused hands gently grip her wrists, gently tying them back together, trying ever-so desperately to not cause more pain to her.
"Thank you for bein' so cooperative, Miss," He said as he started to guide her towards the front door. He was relieved that she didn't respond as the sound of her voice alone made his skin flush. "You have a horse?" He asked, even though he already knew the answer.
"Yeah, tied up over there," She replied, her eyes fixated on the ground below. "C-Can I see my father?" She asked. His breathing hitched as he didn't know what to say. "I...Erm, I don't know where he is..."
"I do," She frowned, looking at her feet. "They dumped him over there - didn't even bury him," He nodded as his reply, simply following her to where she saw the O'Driscoll's dump her father's body. He stood back to give her privacy, but couldn't help the burn in his chest as he heard her sob after collapsing to her knees. After a few moments, he slowly approached her, seeing that Jameson's body had already started decaying. If he wouldn't have known Jameson by his mustache and clothing, he would've looked like a stranger. "Miss... W-We need to go. The law probably heard all of those gunshots..."
"Then leave me here. They'll come for me." She cried as he helped her to her feet, noting that she was weak.
"I can't do that, Miss."
"Why not? Have other plans for me?" She snapped. He understood that she did it because she was scared and no longer valued herself, feeling like she had given up.
"No, that's not it. C'mon, let's go," He said quietly, untethering her horse from the tree he had been tied to. "Do you have any belongings you wanna take with you?"
She bit her lip, "His banjo and the money I had left for him. I'll burn it before I let the O'Driscoll's get the rest of it... And some of my clothes."
"Okay, I can help you, but we gotta hurry up and get outta here," He warned.
"This I know," She replied. He nodded as he cut her loose, keeping the pistol he had taken from her in his off-hand holster, afraid that she was going to try to rob him. He helped her grab her essentials from the cabin, especially the two photos that were on the mantle that he remembered. He helped her put her extra clothes in a burlap sack, wrapping the two photo frames in a pillowcase to protect them before putting them in the sack too. She grabbed her father's banjo as Arthur slung the burlap sack over his shoulder, ushering her out the door of the cabin, hearing a few weeps coming from her pale lips as he couldn't understand how hard it was for her to leave her home, especially knowing that her father was still there. "You think you're okay to ride your horse?"
"H-Honestly, no. I don't have enough energy." She panted.
He nodded before turning around and picking her up to place her on his horse before tethering her horse to his own, putting her belongings on the saddle, tethering them with the provided saddle strings. He couldn't explain why he did so, but he had figured it was because he was selfish and craving a woman's attention, even if it wasn't intentional. His action didn't make much sense, but he didn't care. 'At least I asked her,' He thought.
"Alright, let's get you back to camp," He said.
"Camp? I-I thought you were takin' me in for the bounty?" She questioned, confused.
"You thought a lot of things, Miss. Remember when you saved my life on that train?" He questioned as he looked up at her from the ground as he was about to mount his horse.
"Yeah?" She questioned, holding brief eye contact with "the man in blue" as he had verified his identity with her as they have in fact met before.
"Let me save yours."

When Moments Turn to Memories
By Maddie Browning
art by Molly Mitchell
āYou will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.ā - Dr. Seuss
This seemingly simple quote sat on a bulletin board outside of my high school theatre classroom for months. I would pass it quickly, glance over at it, and go about my day, not thinking about how horribly true it was. I knew things ended, but I didnāt understand that people did too.
I struggle with beginnings because I can only ever think of their eventual end, when everything I love about them will soon be a distant memory. When I was 12, my parents took my brother and I to Hawaii. It was absolutely breathtaking. We saw volcanoes and luscious greenery and crystal clear waters. We ziplined in an area where Jurassic Park was filmed and saw spinner dolphins leap into the air off the side of our boat when we went on a snorkeling trip. And as wonderful as it was, I couldnāt stop thinking about the time when I would eventually have to leave, when I would get one final glance at the glimmering waves, and then take off on a plane back to Colorado. It was like I needed the time to prepare myself for when the dreamy vacation life would be over before it had even begun. But I thought that maybe if I was prepared, leaving wouldnāt hurt as much. Maybe that was true. I still donāt know.
I never dealt with the death of a loved one until a little over a year ago. Before that, I had lost my great grandparents, but at the time, I was too young to comprehend the finality and pain of death. I thought that maybe, like my vacation thought process, if I had enough time to prepare for someoneļæ½ļæ½ļæ½s eventual death, I would be more okay. Iād be ready. But that was complete bullshit, and I didnāt get any time to prepare anyway.
I hear "Rainbow" by Kacey Musgraves, and suddenly I'm back in the car with my two best friends. We're dressed in all black. It's the middle of the afternoon, but it's as if the sky has been drained of all of its color. Iām sitting in the passenger seat, and I see life passing by in slow motion as I glance out at the gloomy clouds hovering above us. Iāve never seen a darker day. It is almost as if the world knows that something horrible happened and is in mourning with us. We drive in complete silence except for the soft playing of the song. I can feel the downbeat of the piano chords like theyāre playing on my heart, pushing out all of the deep emotions I didnāt know I could feel. We make it to the church just as Kacey sings, āEverything will be alright now,ā even though it couldnāt be farther from the truth. This used to be the place where we would all gather for choir concerts and sing and laugh. Now, itās the place where we will witness the funeral of our 17 year old friend.
The first time that I met Parker was in my Theatre I class in high school. He stood apart from everyone elseāwearing an orange puffer jacket, cargo shorts, and flip flops no matter the weather. His brown hair swept lightly across his forehead and his deep brown eyes held darker secrets than any of us could have ever known. He was kind and talkative and loved, but stood in the corner of the room as if he didnāt quite feel like he belonged. He was the kind of person who you wanted, needed to get to know, but you didnāt know how. My clearest memory from that class is watching a scene that he wrote and performed where a talking goat head was controlling his mind and driving him to insanity. He was strange, but in the best way.
I remember walking into the church and feeling numb. I saw people I knew everywhere, but everything felt wrong, and I couldn't even make it past the front door without crying. I couldn't understand how this was really happening. Directly inside, there were photo displays of Parker from when he was a baby until now and items he treasured like his infamous Scooby Doo shirt. I felt nauseous and almost as if I was floating outside of my own body. And as I floated above it all, I saw static. People were moving around in all different directions, and all I could see was a deep black aura emitting from the crowd. There was a sense of emptiness and darkness. Everyone blended together in a large mass of pain and suffering, a gathering of people who loved each other, sharing in immense grief. I didnāt know how to handle it all. I was shaking uncontrollably as I moved toward my seat in the chapel.
One of my favorite memories of Parker was during Beauty and the Beast, our last musical before COVID shut down in-person schooling. I played Mrs. Potts, but could not do a British accent to save my life. Parker had a knack for accents, so he told me he would help me in whatever way I needed. He tried coaxing me to say different phrases and mimic his intonation and went on rants in character about his life as the person he had created with specific accents. There was one day that I had an especially horrible British accent, and I was feeling really defeated. I told him it was almost more fake Australian than British to which he said, āThatās ok. Australians are just British people but on fire.ā He made me laugh and smile when I felt awful about myself. Iāll never forget that moment.
When the funeral started, they played a slideshow of Parker from when he was a baby until his senior photos. It was the first time I had ever seen this adorable little boy. His family enjoyed going on tropical vacations together yearly and compiled photos of him from each one. He seemed to be holding exotic animals in almost every photo. There were different types of lizards and birds and monkeys perched on his shoulder. I remember just how captivating his smile was. At that moment I couldnāt think of any smiles in the world that shone brighter than his. He looked up at the camera like he was the luckiest boy in the world to be where he was. He was so playful and happy, but now he was gone.
Parker was really, really funny. He used to post daily snapchat stories about the most random things. My best friend, Kalyssa, and I looked forward to watching them everyday and laughing while he discussed the concept of frogs and how airplanes are just flying metal dildos. āBro what even the fuck are airplanes?ā was our favorite quote. None of what he said made sense, but without us even realizing, it was one of the best parts of our day.
Parkerās family wrote moving speeches that they delivered throughout the funeral, but his dadās speech still haunts me today. He said that whenever they went on vacation, Parker was always captivated by the waves. He would go down to the edge of the sand and play in the water as the tide moved in and out. He couldnāt swim, ironically enough, but he still loved being right at the edge of the water. His dad said that he would watch Parker play for hours, content with seeing him so happy. He said that those same waves that his son used to play in now washed over him with grief and pain. The thing that his son loved most in this world, now tore him apart. I think about that a lot, and I wish that I could have known that little boy, so enthralled by the crashing of the ocean's waves.
During the first semester of our senior year, Kalyssa and I choreographed and starred in the musical, Heathers, with our theatre production ensemble class. We only had about two and a half weeks to pull the show together, so Kalyssa and I had to divide and conquer between learning our own parts and teaching choreography. I worked with Parker on the song, āDead Gay Son,ā and he was a comically awful dancer. He performed every step that I taught him, no matter how many times I demonstrated it, almost like a suburban dad trying to embarrass his kids. My favorite part of rehearsal was watching him dance. He tried so hard to get all of the steps, and I loved seeing him working so passionately. He never gave up and always had a smile on his face. I would give anything just to see him dance one more time.
My high school actually held an in-person graduation in a huge field more than six feet apart in July. They had a chair set out for Parker with balloons tied to it, and when they called his name, they released them into the air. I remember shedding a tear as I looked around at all of his friends that shared in my grief, but it was like a small part of our pain flew into the air with those balloons. It was a beautiful moment knowing that he would never be forgotten as long as we were still here to remember him.
Itās been a little over a year since he died. It still feels weird, like a part of me is missing. I still have bad days where I donāt want to get out of bed in the morning and random triggers that send me into a dark void once again. But yesterday something happened that gave me a little bit of peace and hope. My roommate, Molly, is very spiritual. She does tarot card readings and lights candles for her deities, and however unbelievable as it sounds, she sees ghosts. I didnāt believe it myself at first, but after all of the weird encounters in our room, I know sheās not just seeing things. She canāt always see the full features of any ghosts, but she can feel their energies and when certain ghosts are connected to the people they stand next to. Yesterday, she told me that she had been noticing an energy that never left my side since last semester. Even when we left our room and traveled out into the city, it was always there. She sensed that this energy was a young male presence, who had some deeper connection to me. She is sure itās him. Itās Parker. I know it sounds crazy and impossible, but I believe her. In all of my grief, I didnāt realize that he never truly left. And even though I canāt see him, I now know that he has and always will be with me.
Acknowledgements
This memoir was inspired by my friend, Parker Priesser. He was such a kind and beautiful person who made my days brighter and never failed to make me laugh. He was funny and smart and good at accents and had so much potential to do great things. His death caused me great pain and sorrow, and this memoir was one of my outlets of expressing that. It gave me a way to feel him again without spiraling back into a pit of grief. He was truly the most genuine person I have ever met.
I miss you, Parker, and I will always love you.

Hey op, I saw your post about discovering you were autistic. Something similar is happening to me except I haven't gone for a diagnosis yet. Would it be okay for you to talk about how you knew?
For me there are things that...fit really well, that hit very close to home, but others not so, so Im not sure if whatever it is that I've got (because clearly, something is there.) I'm not very sure if the autistic spectrum can be so wide as for me to be included in it.
Any tips?
Of course, happy to help.
For me there were three kind of bigger indicators.
First, and after discussing this one with my therapist, it seems to be very consistent across autistic people: I've always felt different. Like I knew that I was at the very least slightly off in comparison to other people. (Please excuse the phrasing, I couldn't think of another way to put it properly).
Second, linked with the first: I have always experienced this thing I like to describe as 'not feeling like a real person'. All that really means is that I see the way other people are out laughing boldly with friends or joking or just straight up experiencing the world, and I think "man, I wish I could be a real person." And it always made me sad because I was consciously realising that I cannot and do not experience the world in the same way most neurotypical people do. It was just this huge feeling of otherness. (My therapist indicated that this is very common)
Third: masking. Now, this one made me feel bad for a really long time because I had no clue what was going on until my ex-girlfriend was like "oh, yeah, that's masking." For me, one of the biggest ways I mask is to copy mannerisms and speech patterns of people I'm around. I do it the most when I really like someone (friend like or romantically) or when a person makes me so extremely uncomfortable that I guess my brain is like "you need to mimic them for safety reasons." The reason this one bothered me so much is that I always felt like I just couldn't have my own personality, why was I always copying other people, surely they've all noticed and think I'm a fucking weirdo. It was very upsetting until I learned it was masking. Finding that out has helped me to accept it when I do it, even though I am trying to mask less.
So, those are the big three. There are lots of other minor things. I have ocd, which very commonly goes hand in hand with Autism. I got that need for rigid schedule and following the same patterns almost daily (slight variations are okay, but people planning stuff and not telling me when I've already set up my personal schedule for the day in my head, big no no). I eat the same foods on repeat and have an extremely difficult time changing it up. When I like food or dislike it, the primary reason is texture. (My fiance actually pointed this one out. Apparently I talk about the texture of food a ton).
I'm sure you've probably come across information about the emotionality of Autistic people. The common trope is that we are very emotionless. However, thats not accurate at all. There are two main big categories of where we can fall: tending to not feel emotions very strongly (the trope), and feeling emotions very intensely, more intensely than neurotypical society says is appropriate š. I fall into this category, and I hate it because I have spent so much time trying to just not feel my emotions because they are so intense and my expression of them is 'inappropriate' that it has caused a great many mental health issues for me. So the eye roll face is because I think that the appropriate expression of emotion dictated by most of society is stupid. Along with this one, I have a hard time verbalizing and verbally identifying how I am feeling. As a result, I tend to just tell people I am upset. My therapist says this is somewhat common amongst Autistic individuals. I cannot recall the reasoning she gave for it being common, but I am including it because it was brought up in the process of discussing all this.
I also have this huge tendency to overexplain my reasons for things I've done or said because I do not want to be misunderstood/I have experienced misunderstanding so many times that I learned to do this at some point (I consider this to be part of my masking). This one seems to be pretty common, at least from tiktok. I've seen a lot of Autistic people on tiktok mention it.
Side note in relation to this but still relevant to the post imo, I hate that society tends to think you are lying the more detail you provide. I have a tendency to find all details absolutely vital. So when telling someone about what happened in a situation, I relay as much information as I can. Apparently, that means you are lying. It frustrates me a lot.
In that same vein, another thing my therapist said is fairly common: many Autistic people like to ask why continuously. Not as in just repeating "why," but rather that someone will say "I don't know" or provide an answer, but we often are still seeking a further reason. I've done this my entire life, and booooy does it aggravate people. For me it is just that I want to know the reasoning behind things. I want to know as much information as possible about the topic, and, as mentioned above, I tend to find every single detail absolutely important. That just leads to continuously asking why.
So another one for me, of which I am unsure the commonality: I have a very difficult time maintaining friendships unless I see someone most days of the week. I would say about 5 out of the 7 makes it the easiest for me, but it has worked out on less than that, rarely. The reason for this is that I forget to talk to people when I cannot physically see them. I mean, I just don't think about it for weeks on end. Then I will for a second, but won't message them because I'm doing something, and then forget about it again for ages. Part of this is that I prefer in person communication because I can try to read people's body language and facial expressions. The other part is tone of voice is more clear in person than via text. Now, this one bothered me when I was trying to figure out if I was autistic because it is common for Autistic people to not recognise facial cues and body language the same way as neurotypical people. Turns out, according to my testing results paperwork, i just have a higher ability to recognise facial expressions than most people diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. So, I just vary a bit from the average.
Within this same vein is the commonly known 'eye contact issue'. The stereotype is that we cannot and do not make eye contact. This is so false. Many Autistic people do not make eye contact well, yes, but not all. For example, I do. I told one of my brothers I was getting tested for Autism and his response was, and I quote literally here, "I don't think you're Autistic because you make eye contact." What he didn't know is the reason why I make eye contact. I do it because I was taught repeatedly that it is how you show people you are listening. So, basically, I'm masking when I make eye contact because I'm solely doing it to show someone I am listening to them. In fact, š I commonly am sitting there telling myself to make eye contact in order to indicate that I am present and interested in what the other person is saying. I also have a harder time masking this way when attempting to talk about things that are important and emotionally relevant to me. In therapy, I rarely make eye contact with my therapist because it is so difficult to talk about things in general that I cannot also make eye contact. Lastly, for this one, the more comfortable I am with someone, the less I make eye contact with them. My fiance, for example, not very common at all that I do it.
There is also the very common special interests phenomenon. The media tends to show this as a math or science thing, but it really isn't. I follow one tiktoker whose special interest is bugs and, I believe, art. I highly recommend her. Her handle is: soundoftheforest. For me, it's language/linguistics and ancient egypt, Greece and Rome. Really, I'd say ancient anywhere history, but those are the big three. Egypt has been my longest interest, besides language. I actually remember the moment I was like "this is it for life." I was 7 and had finished my library books but was bored at daycare. So I went to the book shelf and picked up a book about King Tut. It was the page I read about the day Howard Carter found the tomb. And I just knew me and Ancient Egypt were meant to be forever. As for language, I've literally always been fascinated by it. I started speaking very early and with more complex words than is usual. And I just continued to love language from there. I ended up studying ancient Greek and Latin in college. Also, I info dump about these all the time, almost anytime I possibly can because they're so fucking cool. š
Another side note, it is common for Autistic individuals to have delays in speaking, I just did not. It is not something required for the diagnosis. It is just very common.
This one is a little bit weird, and might just be a me thing, but I've discussed it with my therapist. She indicated that it very much aligns with Autism. I cannot, or can but with extreme apprehension and knowledge that I will leave depressed; I simply cannot go into buildings of certain lighting, age, and design. It seems to be buildings that look and/or feel like they were built in the 1960s or 1970s. We haven't really figured out why that is a thing, but it is. I once didn't bother to finish applying for a job to teach Latin that I'd basically been guaranteed so long as I sent in the app because when I went for the interview I saw the building and knew I could not teach there, even part time, because the building would depress me constantly. It's a weird one, but if you have anything at all where you just cannot do it because you know it will affect you like this, I'd bring it up in discussing potentially being Autistic.
I nearly forgot to mention this one, but you've probably heard about the sensory issues that many Autistic people deal with. I have some with touching things, but it is less common an issue for me than my sound sensitivity issues. I am very sensitive to sound. If I had to give a 4th big reason, this would be it because I get overstimulated and overwhelmed by sound multiple times a day. Its rough. If you also have this issue, I cannot recommend enough noise cancelling headphones and chew stim toys when you don't have your headphones. It's really helpful.
This last one I'm going to mention is something that I think I do just to help prevent burnout from masking, but is also part of me specifically. I am an introvert. So that plays a role in this. I spend the vast majority of my time completely by myself. I do mean even when at home with my fiance. We are often in different rooms. I have no problem with it. It doesn't feel like it is bad for our relationship, thankfully. I just prefer to be alone most of the time. The more time I spend around people, the more time afterwards I need alone. That is partially my introvertedness but also me needing to because I am socially exhausted from masking and trying to read all the social cues and not make weird errors when in social settings š³, which I do a lot. I think I just default to spending time by myself when I am not required to engage with people in order to ensure that I can later. Plus, in discussing this one with my therapist, we concluded that I do this at least in part to prevent burnout and overstimulation.
As for the testing itself. I discussed this with my therapist for a while when waiting to get tested, and by the time I did get tested, I had a nice long list of stuff to bring up. I would definitely recommend compiling a list of the symptoms/signs you feel are indicative for yourself. It was very quick after I first brought it up in therapy that I decided I needed the official diagnosis for myself. So my therapist gave me recommendations of who to see. I also looked myself because the recommended people were so booked they couldn't even schedule further out. Once I got it scheduled, I had to wait like 3 months for the appointments. So, if you are seeking the official diagnosis, don't give up because it's a long wait. From what I've seen others saying, it's pretty common to have to wait a bit to be seen.
There were 3 appointments, an intake, a testing, and a feedback appointment. The intake appointment involved me talking to the doctor about my experiences and why I thought I might be autistic. She asked me a few questions about the more commonly known signs of autism if I did not mention them. The testing appointment took about 4 hours and involved a self report personality assessment, several verbal and memory activities, a teaching activity, two story telling/creating activities, and (the part I thought was most difficult) an activity in which I had to identify the emotion being expressed by just the eye and eyebrow area of black and white photos of people. I also had a take home assessment for someone who knew me really well. It was related to executive functioning abilities and emotional regulation abilities. I cannot speak on the feedback appointment because of technical issues resulting in not actually having that appointment. I have rescheduled it and will be doing that later this month.
If you have anything more specific you want to ask me about, please do. I am happy to answer.
