storytime!!! so basically im going through a mini writer's block right now so i started cooking to get my mind off it and now all i can think about is cooking with ino takuma
wc: 0.8k contains: pure fluff and nanami's here too i guess, reader is referred to as girlfriend, modern au author's note: fun fact! so i lost most of this and i had to rewrite all of the parts i lost and when i found out i actually started to cry! but i hope yall like it! inbox open for requests + qna questions + anything and everything
first off, i firmly believe this guy is the most mediocre chef EVER. you cannot convince me otherwise. however!, i will give him his props. he can cook his cute lil suspiciously scrumptious dishes when he has the time but that does not stop him from trying to get better at cooking
once you two started dating, he without a doubt begun brushing up on his skills. he went from being able to make a "banger sandwich" to a "banger le poulet frit et les gaufres" which was just chicken and waffles but he's trying okay!!!
he definitely consulted (begged) head chef nanami, as he called him in this situation, to help with his culinary skills. and i'm not talking regular begged, i'm talking groveling at his feet, begged. and nanami obliged, teaching ino how to cook, starting at the very basics, the importance of mise en place: the practice of organizing and preparing your ingredients and equipment before starting to cook
soon enough, ino's culinary lessons with head chef nanami blossomed. he started from basically nothing and now he's mastered the perfect milk to cereal ratio and a near perfect filet mignon. did he know what that was? no. did he watch nanami make it under the excuse of watching is the best form of learning? yes.
but you have to start somewhere! and you have to give him his tens!! he did light the stove and he preheat the oven. he's practically a chef already! and all that watching definitely paid off
"here, try this recipe with your girlfriend." nanami slid a slip of paper over to ino, tiny, uniform inked words on it. "and here is your copy, good luck." an identical piece of paper was given to ino again but it had handwritten notes like pay attention to the flame and i wouldn't recommend substituting this ingredient, it is very vital for the overall taste of the dish
so here you both were in the kitchen, aprons on and eyes peering at the recipe. "step one," takuma started, tightening his apron like he was about to do some serious work. he lifted up a comically large pot and placed it on the stove, pulling out (and flaunting) the crabs he handpicked from the market right after. "get your pot and your crabs."
"step two," you filled the pot halfway with water, sprinkling in a bit of salt and lighting the fire underneath it. "bring your pot of water to a rapid boil."
"what're you doing babe?" your words were clearly a question though it was one that you could answer simply by looking. "i'm paying attention to the flame." takuma pulled your shoulder flush to his, eyes still watching the blue flame with intent and unwavering focus. "i don't think it's going anywhere but okay."
once the water bubbled up violently, ino threw in the crabs and you went to the bathroom to freshen up. you were humming a sweet song while drying your hands when the all too familiar shrill scream of your boyfriend pierced your ears. "takuma?!" you called out, running to the kitchen, hands an uncomfortable damp. and there he was. takuma had the pot lid propped up as if it were a shield, tears pricking his eyes, "baby...", he called out to you. "the crab... it jumped out of the pot..."
"you bought live crabs...?"
"they weren't moving when i bought them."
"ah."
grabbing some nearby tongs, you placed the crab back into the salted water, "wait..., shouldn't we kill them first?" ino slowly nodded, pulling his phone from his pocket, "let's see... wikihow... how to cook a crab..."
"freeze the crabs?!" your in-sync voices rang through your house, bouncing off the walls. "we're not freezing any crabs." you continued, confusion and sass dripping from your lips. "damn right we're not! but, uh, how're we supposed to kill them then?" gulping at your boyfriend's question, you thought for a bit
tugging at one of the drawers, a collection of knives, given to you both by nanami, were revealed. picking the biggest one up and holding it's handle firm and tightly. "surely we could just," the blade sliced through the air, mimicking the swift movement of killing a crab. takuma shook in his place, "hey, queen, you should, uh, watch where you're swinging that. you might hurt yourself," he came closer to you, fingers squeezing and squishing your cheeks. "and then i would have to nurse my pretty girlfriend back to health!"
slapping his hands away playfully, you sighed, "babe, focus! what're we gonna do? i don't wanna kill the crabs..." ino put his hands on his hips, a triumphant smile on his face, "don't worry, i got this."
long story short, he did not.
"oh my god." the plastic fork slipped from takuma's hands clanking against the matching plastic container of takeout
"what?"
"we didn't do mise en place."

TEACHER!ELLIE WILLIAMS X STUDENT!READER
PART 1ONE
part 2two
mdni please<3
summary: you stay with your teacher - ellie because youre sure she didnt grade your exam correctly. she turns out to be easy to spend time with, even though youre her student
warnings: 18+ please!!
writers note: calling ellie 'miss williams' kinda cringes me but ig thats how it is.. before yall attack me or smthn reader is not a minor so its all legal also i imagine this is like the last grade of highschool?? i dont know what age it is in usa since im polish and yeah it would be legal for us but maybe not in america so idk😭😭
Ellie Williams was a teacher in your college, most students' favourite. She wasn't boring or too strict although she was serious about her lessons and she always made sure everyone listens. The point is, everyone wanted to listen.
You loved how passionate she is about her job. You could tell sharing her knowledge with next generations makes her proud. The rest of the students mostly liked her for her looks. She was attractive, even for you, especially when she was looking at you from under her glasses. Oh, god, her glasses... And the way she adjusts them with her slim fingers... Yes, she was definitely attractive. And pretty young, as for a teacher. But the way all of those stupid frat boys made clearly sexual comments about her was making you want to throw up.
You never missed her lessons and you were her best student. You could tell she appreciates the way you look honestly interested in her lessons. That's why you were surprised when you suddenly got a D from an assignment.
You stayed after class to talk with her about it. Something was off. You stayed the whole night to do it, with blood, sweat and tears.
You found her in her office, reading some papers. After saying simple 'good afternoon' you sat in a chair in front of her desk. She dropped the papers that turned out to be your assignment.
"I was just about to talk to you." She sternly said, not looking in your direction. "Why are you helping him?"
You had no idea what she's talking about, so you stayed quiet, letting her talk.
"You've always been so responsible - straight A's, making the presentations in time. Did he pay you? Be honest, I won't report it anywhere. Luke wouldn't do that himself."
You frowned. "I'm sorry, I don't understand. What does Luke has to do with this?"
Luke was your talking stage. You weren't interested in him but he was in you and that's it. Your opinion didn't matter. He was popular and you wanted to have good reputation so you allowed him to do... whatever.
Miss Williams showed you two papers. One was yours, the other... based on the handwriting - Luke's.
"Look at the signatures." She ordered. "How did it happen? No bullshit."
They were swapped. Luke's work, graded for a D, had your name on it.
"That's an interesting word to use for a teacher. Umm... Yeah, I don't..." You started stuttering, not knowing what to say. You often helped him out but not this time.
"Just admit you helped him and I'll give you your A. Easy as that." She finally looked up at you. Her glasses reflected the light in a way that made it hard to look her in the eyes, so you wasn't able to tell what she's thinking. Was she judging you or are you just paranoid?
"I told him to give you my assignment since he was staying in your class longer, I swear, I didn't-" You sighed. "He had to... How could he..." You continued mumbling.
"Sh, shh... I can tell it's your handwriting. I just thought you did it on purpose." She said in a reassuring voice.
"Will he have any problems? It's not a big deal, so if we could just..." You looked at her with your doe eyes, nervously biting your bottom lip. The way she was looking at you made you understand why were the other students all over her. You took a deep breath, trying to gather your mind, embarrased you even thought about her in a... romantic... way.
"Okay, my dear. Here's your well earned A." She showed you a new copy of the assignment with an A grade written at the top. You also notice her fingers slightly grazing your hand as she does so. the same fingers you used to imagine touching you in such an intimate way "Now, if it's not a big secret, why are you even worried about Luke? For him, a better grade is more important than you. But if you really like him, I may group you both together in the next presentation."
"No, I don't, it's not that..." You quickly explained. "It's just... I don't even know. He's just everywhere I go."
You could tell something was off when Miss Williams mentioned Luke. She never did speak poorly about any of your classmates, not even once - it's simply unprofessional. But, this time, she seemed irritated, perhaps even annoyed.
"I'm glad to hear that, he's no good for you. He obviously wants more than an assignment swap." She put all of the papers back into her file. Suddenly, she leaned in towards you. Not too close, but way closer than she was before. "You look nervous."
"I am." You admitted quietly. Your heart starts beating fast. She's never been this close before. You both met after classes before and she was friendly, sure, but never this... interested. She made it to the point you didn't saw her as a professor anymore, just a woman, maybe even potential... girlfriend.
"I can help you with that stress if you'd like." She says, her voice barely above a whisper.
You couldn't resist her. She leans in closer, until your faces are so close together that your breaths become one and if it wasn't for the desk, your bodies would be pressed together. The moment she touches your cheek, you can't resist anymore and kiss her back. She takes your hands and presses them against the back of her head, pulling you closer as she deepen the kiss.
You never felt this way before. This doesn't feel wrong, it's... exciting. She's exciting.
You hear a faint sound from outside. Someone trying to open the door.
Miss Williams quickly straightens up: she straightens her clothes, fixes her hair, and picks up her papers. Then, with a deep breath, she answers the knock.
"Hello... Can I help you?" She opens the door.
It's Luke, standing there with a wide smile on his face.
"Luke? What are you doing here?" Your eyes flicked from Luke to the teacher and back again, not understanding what's happening.
"I just realized I forgot my bag at class today, so I dropped by to pick it up. But I see you have company." He looks at you and gives you a subtle wink.
"Oh, don't worry. I was just giving her assignment back an A. The A she deserves." She says with a nervous laugh.
"Yeah, exactly, Luke. I know you swapped our assignments." Your eyes lingered at him for longer this time, as you saw he knows something so you tried changing the topic to more formal one.
"I... uhh... no, I didn't do that." He replies nervously, his tone and body language giving him away.
Miss Williams looks at you with an expression that conveys "I can't believe this is happening."
You continue; "Look, Miss Williams found our assignments mixed up. Mine... with your D grade on it... and yours, with my A on it."
Luke shifts uncomfortably, realizing he's been found out. "Oh... well... I guess I'll just be on my way then." He says awkwardly.
"Just take your bag and go before I change my mind and not be so nice." Your teacher said, making eye contact with you instead of him.
Luke quickly grabs his bag and scurries away.
Miss Williams sighs and closes the door. "What a little... trouble maker." She says with a smile. She walks towards you and stands in front of you, facing you directly. "I hope he didn't bother you too much." She says softly, her tone carrying a slight flirty vibe.
You smile and shake your head, even though the truth is he did.
"You should go now, I don't want your parents worrying. Visit me here from time to time though, 'kay?" She smirks, stroking your hair.
"Yes, ma'am." You reply, trying to be playful but failing in your nervousness. "I will... umm... see you at class tomorrow."
"I'll be looking forward to it." She replies, a grin on her face as she stares deep into your eyes.
As you leave, you try to remain composed, but you're melting inside.

The Rhythm of You
Disclaimers: DO NOT COPY OR REPOST MY WORK. DO NOT TRAIN AI WITH MY WORK.
Warnings: Mature Audiences ONLY: Minors DNI- Profanity, Use of the N word. Pairing: black male x black female Words: 5,419k
A/N: Hey yall hey. Happy Holidays and a Very Happy New Year to you all. I've been gone for a minute, and now I'm back with the jump off/goons in the club case--- my fault; let me get serious. During the holiday season, I took some intentional time off to be present with family and get some much needed rest. I've been enjoying so many other fanfics, liking and reblogging them for your viewing pleasure, so please check them out. When I got back, work just steamrolled me, and then I found myself reminiscing about the past with friends and fantasizing about this new fic. It just wouldn't leave me alone and I found myself disengaging from Terry's drama to look into an unexpected chapter in Aldis' life (lol). I will be writing part 4 of Veiled Intentions soon don't worry!
Summary: Aldis has been working really hard and had finally finished Season 1 of Cross. I had been a grueling 10 months filming this role and getting into character. Now, he can finally decompress and return to the one thing that means the world to him, his baby girl. Everything was all figured out until he met someone unexpected, someone alluring, someone who will add a much needed song to the soundtrack of his life.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Delicate golden embers arose from the stringed lights hung all over the ceiling. Their glow illuminated the bodies that swayed underneath. The sounds of the speakers blaring the Top 40 hits now transitioned to R&B. The calm electricity throughout the room brought a warm buzz to my chest. It was a sight to behold. Everyone I had grown close to over the past couple of years gathered under this two-story NY loft to celebrate the significant milestone. It made me smile.
I usually enjoy the wrap of all of my work. It gives me time to pause, decompress, reflect on the journey, make a little time to note what I could have done better, and dig deep inside myself to practice the celebration of all of the things I had done right. Taking on this role was a huge undertaking, but I got it right. Really right. I was already getting calls offering me other roles in other limited series. I even got offered a chance to make my directorial debut on a project that I’ve had my eye on for a while.
Knocking back another swig of my drink. I couldn’t help smiling at the thought of going home and hugging my daughter tight. It was a wrap ritual for me. Ever since she was born, I’ve been obsessed with the little extension of myself. The way she looked up at me, face pressed tightly against my chest, asking me all kinds of questions and clinging to every answer. I thought I knew love until I held her.
I downed the last of my drink and started saying my goodbyes. It wasn’t until I had hugged the last person that I heard the commotion coming from the dancefloor. They were playing some song featuring Kehlani, the only voice I recognized at the moment, and it was smooth. Curious, I let my feet guide me to the edge of the formed crowd. I stepped in closer, and that is when I saw …her.
Her skin was a toffee brown, and under the streams of warm light, she glowed. The second thing I noticed was how she seemed to glide around the enclosed circle she maneuvered around. It was almost as if her feet weren’t even hitting the floor. Where her feet went, her hips trailed behind, snaking around, causing her ass to tick and shake precisely as the percussion dropped. She was in perfect sync with the beat. There came a point where she switched her movements to emulate the rhythm of the words the artists’ crooned. She turned around to where I was standing, body still enthralled by the trance of the song, and started mouthing the words.
The way she moved her hands to trace the outline of her hills and valleys enticed something in my carnal nature. My eyes wouldn’t move from her. Her eyes fluttered open and closed, influenced by the song's sentiment. If she were the premise of the music video, this song would win so many awards. I continued watching her intently, and then she suddenly peered up at me, still mouthing the words of the song and moving those perfectly sculpted hips and thighs. She snaked to the right and folded over, allowing the right side of the room a full view of a plump, round ass and the rest of us a delectable side view. Her eyes never left me. It was almost like she was daring me to make my way over to her and dance with her. My feet remained planted where they were, and I just stared, wondering how she would look doing this routine in my bedroom— on my dick.
My thoughts were interrupted by my castmate and newfound brother, Isaiah, coming up to my right. “Incredible,” he said, practically moaning.
“Who is she?”
“I don’t even know. The little intel I was able to pick up from some of the cast mates who were familiar with her was that she’s a choreographer or dancer or something. She came as a plus on.”
The DJ continued to egg her on while transitioning to ‘Can I’ by Kehlani. She started another routine that didn’t seem routine at all. Isaiah and I kept our eyes glued to her every movement. Again, she seemed entranced by the rhythm of the song. She looked like she was… home.
After the song went off and the DJ transitioned to another song, she straightened up and peered around at the small crowd cheering for her. She blushed, waved a vote of thanks, and whispered something to Golden Madison, another of our castmates. I'm not sure how or why, but my feet started moving toward the pair. I could sense that Isaiah wasn’t far behind.
“No, girl, you can’t leave now. You are literally the life of the party, and the night is young!” I overheard Golden saying.
“I agreed to be your plus one on one of my sacred days off to congratulate you and love on you. It’s almost 2 am; I think I’ve done my fair share of ‘plus-oneing’. I need to get to my bed,” the mystery girl said playfully.
“Please, we’ll leave in like another hour or so. I promise,” Golden begged.
“Girl! I have errands to run and other things to do tomorrow. I have to go, but I love you deep! I’m so proud of you!” the girl kissed. Golden pouted and noticed Izzy and I standing there.
“Hey yall,” Golden squeaked. Her friend turned around to see who Golden was speaking to, and our eyes locked for the second time tonight.
“Hey, Goldie,” I said.
“I thought you left already. I know you don’t stay out late much,” she stated.
“Yea, I was on my way out, and then I heard all the commotion coming from the dancefloor and thought I’d see what was going on,” I replied.
“And there was a lot going on,” Izzy chimed, staring suggestively at the girl we both couldn’t take our eyes off of.
“My girl is and has ALWAYS been the truth!”
“Does your girl have a name?”
“Yea, you not gonna introduce us? Rude!”
“Shut up, Izzy. Aldis, Izzy, this is my best friend Amara. Amara, these clowns are the co-stars of the Alex Cross, Alex and Izzy,”
“It’s nice to meet you both,” she shook our hands. Hers were so soft, and her handshake was firm. I held her hand a little longer than customary before letting her go. The absence of the warmth of her hand when I let go of her instantly felt unnatural. Wrong even.
“Goldie, I gotta go. Love you,” Amara said, turning toward Goldie
“Ugh, you’re being so lame!” Goldie let out in frustration.
The DJ started playing ‘Hot’ by Efosa. I watched her close her eyes in loathing. She turned to Goldie and said, “This is my damn song, and I feel like you told him to play this!”
“I have no idea what you’re talking about,” Goldie said, feigning innocence. “If you going then, go!”
Amara lets out a long sigh. The next thing I knew, my right hand was in hers, and she was leading me back onto the dancefloor. She laid it on me. Her hips moved left and right. She planted her ass directly where my dick laid dormant until — now. Looking at the view of her sculpted, exposed lower back up close while she practically whined on my member was mesmerizing. Her hips rotated clockwise then, suddenly with the change of the synths, counterclockwise like she pressed rewind on her previous movement.
She was a force, and I desperately tried to keep up with her while taking her all in. I was pretty sure pre-cum was leaking all in my boxers as I watched her ass ripple up and down as I collided with her. I needed to make her mine, to have the pleasure of being inside her, to learn every twist and turn of that body. By the end of the song, I didn’t care that she was feeling how hard I was at this point. This was all her doing. At the final climax of the song, she threw her head back and tilted to the left to look back at me as she wiggled her ass at warped speed to match the beat. I was gone.
She owned me, and she knew it. When the DJ transitioned, she gave a final bump to my third leg with her ass and rose to her full height. She walked to Goldie and hugged her, followed by a kiss on her cheek. My feet were still planted where they were, missing her warmth and showcasing a hefty hard-on. While walking towards the exit, she glanced at me and flashed a knowing smile. Then she was gone.
“Daaaaaaaaamn, bruh. She left and put the $200 on the dresser, cuz the way she was handling you back there, you definitely got fuck,” he said laughing. He was right, and there was nothing I could do about it. I should’ve ran after her and asked for her information but I couldn’t move. I couldn’t think. I just felt.
————————————————————————-
“Hey baby, what you doing?” Looking at my greatest accomplishment with pride and joy. According to her teachers, she’s ahead of the class in all her subjects. They’ve been testing her to see whether she can skip classes. It was fascinating watching her in her element.
“I’m building a house,” she answered curtly, zipping around to find another piece to glue on. One thing I loved about babygirl was the fact that she did her own thing. It didn’t bother her that the other girls her age were more preoccupied with tea parties and painting their nails. She liked those things, too, but she also loved working with her hands and playing basketball with the other boys in the neighborhood.
She didn’t let the other kids push her around either. You never knew what you were going to get with her. One day, she demanded to go to school in her “princess gown,” the next day, she would wear a snapback, jeans, and the pair of Jays we got together. Her mom thought she sometimes dressed like me when she missed me the most. That was another subject… her mom.
“Ok, well, I want my room facing the backyard. I don’t wanna hear all that noise from the street. Oh, and make sure you hook me up, too. I want a big-screen TV in there.”
“Imma do your room last cause you ain't say ‘please’! That's rude, Daddy.”
I chuckled. “That’s fair, babygirl. That’s fair. My bad. Please and thank you.”
“Mhmm. Now that your movie is done, how long you staying this time?”
“I’m going be here until I get another role that I wanna do, then it’s the usual. I take the meetings and talk to some people, and if they like me, they’ll tell me when I start.”
“They always like you, Daddy. You’re the best!”
I beamed. “Thank you, baby girl. That means a lot coming from you. They can give me all the awards they want to, but–”
“But if you don’t get one from me, then nothing matters. I know, Daddy. You say that every time.” She smiled, and half rolled her eyes.
“That’s because I mean it!” I exclaimed, tapping her nose with my index finger.
“I know.”
“So now that you got me all to yourself for a while, what you wanna do?”
“Well, Imma finish the house, then maybe later you can make me a burger cause imma be hungry. After that, we can go to the movies. After that, maybe we can go to a basketball game. Eric said ain't no way I’m going to the Knicks game. I told him that my daddy takes me when he’s home, and he called me a liar. So we gotta go to the Knicks game so I can see Karl-Anthony, then we gotta take pictures so he can shut up. After that, I wanna go to the skating rink because Tina and Tasha said we gotta get good by the summer so we can skate outside. Then after that—”
“Whoa, whoa, whoa. I see you got a lot of plans. Tell you what, for today, I’ll leave you to your house and get the burgers ready. We’ll go to the movies later on tonight. Tomorrow, we can go to Home Depot and get some lights and other stuff to hook your house up. How’s that sound?”
“YAAAAAAAY!!! Daddy, how you know I wanted to put some lights in here?!?!”
“Cause you been on the computer watching YouTube videos of mini houses and how to put lights up,” I replied with a smirk.
“You can see that?”
“I can see everything, babygirl. Remember that.” I finished, giving her a peck on the forehead, and headed downstairs to the kitchen.
I worked quickly, seasoning the ground turkey and forming the patties. They were ready in no time. While working on the last batch of seasoned fries, my phone rang.
“Nigga, whatchu doing?” Isaiah blurted.
“Me and babygirl finna eat these burgers. What’s good?” I declared, gazing proudly at the meal I drummed up.
“Oh, so you back? Good,” he asked, referring to my choice to stay another week in LA to decompress before flying back to New York.
“Yea I got back in yesterday.”
“Yea, well, remember lil mama from the wrap party?”
“Who?”
“Nigga, the one you was drooling over. Don’t play like you don’t know who I’m talking about.”
I laughed sheepishly. I couldn’t forget her if I tried. “Whatever. Wussup?”
“Uh huh, anyway, I saw her at one of the studios on Kingston Ave in the Heights.” I marveled at how your friend, who was anxious about riding the subway just last month when he first got here, is rattling off streets in Brooklyn like a pro even though he lives in Harlem. I loved how he was getting comfortable in a place that would always be home.
“And what were you doing in Brooklyn?” I asked curiously.
“Never you mind what I was doing in Brooklyn. Did you hear what I said? Your girl is dancing her fine ass up and down Brooklyn with some brown-skinned Dominican muthafucka! You talmbout ‘what you doing in Brooklyn’? Anyway, I just texted you the address to the dance studio. Make your way over there.”
“Uh huh, leave that Zina girl alone, nigga. You’re married. I ain't gon’ tell you bout that shit no more. Tighten up!” I snapped.
As much as I loved having Isaiah in my city, bending blocks, booking gigs, and getting closer, he’s been losing his way. I’ve always looked up to him in more ways than one. He held so much knowledge and experience. Lately, I’ve noticed him putting off his responsibilities to his house and home. Especially when it came to Zina, a 39-year-old creative director of Epic Records who worked closely with us on the soundtrack of Cross.
She lived in Brooklyn and returned home 2 weeks before we wrapped. Isaiah was supposed to go home and spend time with his wife and two kids. Instead, he bought a brownstone in Harlem and moved some of his things out here. I pressed him about his sudden decision, and he said that he needed some time to think and that Lisa agreed. I knew there was more to the story, but I didn’t press him.
I introduced him to some of my friends and showed him around so that he would get more acclimated. Sometime later, I heard he was running up to Brooklyn to see some girl. I started putting two and two together. When I finally confronted him, he fell silent and told me to let him straighten his shit out, and he would let me do the same with mine. I left him knowing that I disapproved and that if I was asked, I wouldn’t lie to him. Now, I see none of my words struck a chord with him.
“Yea whatever, nigga. Get to that studio.” he said and hung up. I pondered what would be the reason for me to barge into a dance studio with my size and build. I did not want to make it obvious that I was there for her but I needed to see her. I wasn’t sure why.
After getting babygirl fed, we headed to the movies. Wicked was a dope movie. Babygirl and I discussed the different themes and lessons she picked up in the film. This girl was so bright and full of life. I couldn’t believe how perfect she was. Blessed and proud, I couldn’t even begin to cover it. Next morning, we did our morning routine of hygiene, outfit choices, breakfast, and affirmations, and I dropped babygirl off at school.
“Aye, man, you the guy from Underground, right?” I heard a voice say as I entered one of my favorite coffee shops. I turned around to face him.
“Yea, man. How you doing?”
“Oh man, my girl gon flip. She loves you. You dope or whatever. Can I get a pic witchu?”
“Yea man, C’mon”
We took a couple of pictures, and I dapped him up. I told him about Cross, and he said he would spread the word. I reached the counter to order my favorite drink, and my favorite barista was there.
“Oh, shit, everybody. My favorite actor after Denzel is here!” Assata shouted.
“Here you go! You gotta do that every time I come up here? You know I’m tryna be incognegro” I responded, feigning annoyance.
“Shut up. You love my announcements, and I love doing ‘em”
“Whatever, ya pops and Man man here. I wanted to say wussup to them real quick before I start a little bit of work.”
“Al, you just finished working. When you gonna take a minute to breathe? Enjoy that little girl before you jet off.”
“First of all, you in my business. Second, babygirl says ‘hey’ and that the last time she came in here and got a hot chocolate Man Man made it too hot, and she burned her tongue. So I’m here to beat his ass. Next, I did take time to decompress but I got a baby now and like everybody else, I’m tryna make sure everybody eats. Lastly, go get ya Pops!”
“Mhmm. You ain’t gotta jump down my throat. I’m just saying that you can take more than a week and some change to relax and enjoy your accomplishments,” she said, making her way to the back room.
A second later, Pops, aka Mr. Johnson, came from behind. As far as I was concerned, he was part of the family. My family had been coming to his coffee shop and bakery since I was a kid. He looked out for me when my own father was busy working three jobs, and when we didn’t have what we needed for school, he looked out in every way possible. Every time I’m home, I make sure I see him and see if he needs anything. He always declines my help, but I always end up getting my way.
We spoke for a while about what was going on in the neighborhood and how he kept getting incessant calls trying to get him to sell his property. I knew from how he spoke about the neighborhood and this shop that he would never sell. He wasn't going anywhere if I had anything to do with it. He was one of the few black businesses left in the neighborhood and probably the only one that wasn’t drowning in massive debt. I saw to that.
After an hour or so, I excused myself and headed to one of the tables across from the window to start looking at a list of upcoming films and shows that have been greenlit and looking to cast. Then, I took a couple of meetings and started finishing up some work I had been putting off for my side projects. Everybody knows I keep a job. I was always working. At first, it started out as a way to get out of debt and make sure that I was never homeless or destitute again. Then, I kept going because I feared that everything I had could be taken from me at any moment, and I needed something. Then I started making excuses about why I couldn’t sit still. That reminded me I had to check in with my guy Mark for our therapy session I had to reschedule.
When that was completed, I googled the address Isaiah sent me. Google maps street view allowed me to see the inside and outside of the building. It was definitely of a modern design. It also looked like it doubled as a community center for the youth. Going down a rabbit hole, I learned about the studio's founder and watched a couple of interviews about the community center and why it was founded. Then she appeared.
Amara Omena talked about how the center was a refuge for her to explore her talent as a dancer when her parents admonished and banished her from their home when she stood firm in her decision to pursue dancing full-time instead of becoming an engineer. I was transfixed as she spoke and couldn’t peel my eyes from hers. I also wondered what kind of people would force their kids out in the cold because they wanted to go for their dreams.
I thought to babygirl, and how I would be over the moon if she told me that she wanted to dance or be a plumber… shit, she could tell me that she wanted to sell her collection of rocks, and I would find a way for her to make that happen. My heart felt for Amara in more ways than one. Before I knew what was happening, I was on the phone with the center's founder and told them I would be there on Monday. I discussed a couple of other things with them and hung up.
The weekend came and went and babygirl and I went everywhere she could possibly think to go. I even went back to the coffee shop and play-fought Man Man for making babygirl’s hot chocolate too hot. I threatened to whoop his ass again if he burned my baby. Babygirl got a kick outta that. I dropped her off at her mom’s house, hopped on the A express, got off at Hoyt-Schermerhorn, then got on the C and rode that down to Crown and Utica station. As I walked to Kingston Ave, I took in the sights.
There were some new establishments, but I was glad to see that some of the old ones I grew up with were still there. I made a mental note to take babygirl to the Brooklyn Museum. Finally, I arrived at the Kingston Community Center and went inside. I signed in at the front desk and asked the receptionist where I could sit while I waited for Dr. Simmons to meet me.
“I know you, baby. You don’t need to sign in. I already told Dr. Simmons that you were here when I saw you walking up, witcho fine ass. She’s coming down,” the receptionist said, winking at me. I chuckled.
“Thank you ma’am”
“Anything for you, baby. My name is Linda Brentwell, but everybody calls me Ms. Lee. You single?” she asked. I choked, caught off guard. This woman was firmly in her 60s and flirting with me unabashedly.
“That’s enough, Ms. Lee. Thank you,” a voice said from behind her. “Hell,o Mr. Hodge, I’m Dr. Simmons. We spoke over the phone.”
I shook her hand. “Nice to meet yo,u Dr. Simmons”
“Follow me. The kids are down the hall,” she announced.
She told me how grateful she was to receive a call from me and how much it would mean to the kids. She gave me a working itinerary of how the day would go. I spoke with the kids first, signing autographs. They’d watch an episode of Underground, and then I would get a tour of the facility. I chopped it up with the kids and had a blast. I knew babygirl was a riot, but these kids were talented and full of life. They came from all kinds of bullshit out there, and despite everything, they found some semblance of hope and peace at the center.
Its establishments like these mean everything to the community. I made a mental note of everything the kids said about the place and assured them this wouldn’t be the last they saw of me. I took a picture with each of them and then gave them autographs. I’ll tell my assistant to check in with the center and give the kids goodie bags.
A teen named Keith waited for me by the door to give me a tour of the center. I chopped it up with him as we walked around the building. I asked him to deviate from the routine and to show me the dance studio last. He mentioned how a generous donor, a contact from one of the instructors of the dance studio, helped remodel the building, which gave them a lot of space. It was about 6:30pm when we finally made it to the dance studio.
It was on the 4th floor and bathed in a soft, amber sunset that filtered through the tall windows, casting elongated shadows on the polished wooden floor. The air was thick with the scent of fresh wood and a hint of sweat, the lingering evidence of hours of movement—the walls lined with floor-to-ceiling mirrors. A single barre ran the length of one side, worn smooth by countless hands. At the far end, a stereo system hummed, its speakers poised like silent sentinels.
A bin was riddled with worn ballet shoes, jazz heels, and some tap shoes. Gym bags and jacks piled next to the cubbies found next to the door. The loud thud of landing jumps and shifting feet quickly hit your ears when you opened the door. I looked around until I spotted her. Her hips swayed and shifted to the beat, the familiar sight melting my resolve. The choreographer’s next formation led her to the front, where she twirled, leaped in the air, and landed in a split.
“Damn,” is all that escaped me as I watched her pop her ass in the split and look directly into the mirror. She knew exactly what she was doing, making me wonder what else she knew. “I know. Amara is cold. You see all the dudes we passed getting to the door?” “Yea” “They here to watch her. Every time. They stay on her body,” he said. “Is that right?” “On God.”
That bit of information only strengthened my resolve to make sure that I was the only one “on her body,” as he put it.
“Class. We have a special guest with us today. Everyone say ‘Hello’ to Mr. Aldis Hodge, actor, philanthropist, artist, and watchmaker,” she finished as everyone clapped. I gestured my vote of thanks for their warm welcome.
“Thank you so much for your warm welcome. Wait, hold up. How did you know I made watches and painted them? Let me find out if you've been stalkin a brother,” I joked. The room erupted in laughter. I looked at her, and a small smile crept onto her face. “I was given a great tour. Keith did an excellent job, and we stopped by the studio last to see if I could get some time to learn a few moves real quick.”
“We’d be honored to have you. Here, you can partner with one of our finest, Amara.” “Only if it isn’t a bother,” I posited, looking at her. “No. Not at all,” she said softly. “Alright, y'all all since Mr. Hodge is joining us, we will take it down and practice or choreo to Toni’s ‘You’re Makin’ Me High,’” the instructor, who answered to the name Jamaica, said. She went over the first part of the choreography step by step. It was simple enough, even though I got a couple of chuckles and redirects from Amara. After a couple of individual practices, we all came together and rehearsed them. For someone who only two steps, ya boi was getting it in. I didn’t look out of place. When I got to pull Amara in and dance with her, I felt the same rush I felt two months ago when she took my breath away with the whining of her waist.
Can’t get my mind off you/ Think I might be obsessed/ The very thought of you makes me wanna get undressed/ I wanna be with you in spite of what my heart says/ I guess I want you too bad…
Toni was speaking my exact sentiments through the speakers, which must have shown because once we were done with steps, a round of applause erupted.
“Okay, chemistry!!! Mr. Hodge, how long you gonna be in town because we may need you to perform this with us?” Jamaica asked. Reluctantly I broke eye contact with Amara in order to answer Jamaica. “I can move some things around. Let me know what yall need.” “Oh, don’t tell me that 'cause I’mma hit your line about it too!” “I got you,” I replied, looking back at Amara.
I learned a couple of other things, and by the time the class was over, I had come out of my quarter zip and drenched my beater. I walked over to get a towel.
“Of all the dance studios in Brooklyn, you walk into this one?” I heard a voice beside me say. I removed the towel from my face to look at her. “Aint that something?” She looked at me intently. “You aren’t following me, are you?” “You cute and all, but I don’t need to stalk women to speak to them,” I replied. I lied. She wasn’t cute, she was gorgeous. The way a single bead of sweat curved around her brown slid down her temple and cheek, and curved down her jaw made me want to lick it. While it was a happy coincidence that Isaiah’s cheating ass happened to run into her going into the studio, the rest was all me. I definitely was looking into her and learning all I could about her. She looked at me momentarily, said, “Ok then,” and turned on her heels. I fucked up. I didn’t want to make it seem as though I wasn’t interested at all, but that was the energy it was giving. I had to save the moment.
“But since we are both here and it’s late, is there a place you like to go to grab something to eat?” I asked, hoping this would bring the conversation back to a good place. “The bodega around the corner has bomb sandwiches.” “You wanna walk together?” “You cute and all, but I usually don't go with men places unless I know them.” “So you think I’m cute?” “I think you’re capable of finding a bodega and getting a sandwich.”
I smirked. “You got it. If you change ya mind, that’s where I’ll be headed.” I cleaned myself off, threw on my quarter zip and jacket, and headed down with Keith. After saying goodbye to Keith and the other kids waiting to be picked up, I headed to the bodega she had mentioned. There was a high possibility that I fucked things up back there, but something in me hoped— prayed she would just see it as nerves and come anyway.
When I got to the bodega, I placed my order and got two more orders. I walked around the store and stopped in the back. I pulled out my phone and checked a couple of texts. I got two drinks out of the fridge and returned to the side of the store where they were making the sandwiches. Like clockwork, the store manager came out to inspect the ground. He was orange with long whiskers and a striped tail. If you’re in NY and you don’t see a bodega cat, be suspicious. “Papi, ya order is next," said the Bodega owner. “Thank you.” I went back to check my phone to pass the time. I responded to one email about a potential role and thought about some others. “Three orders? You just knew I was coming, huh!” I heard from behind me. I turned around, and there she stood.

Masterlist
Chapter Twelve
Hassan rubbed his throbbing temple as he listened to his ex-wife go on and on. From the moment Nadine picked him up from the airport, all she had done was rant about Moriah sneaking out with Zilla, wanting to find out how long the two of them had been doing so and exactly what the two of them had been doing together. Knowing that if he said anything, he would lose his temper and that was something he didn’t like to do and rarely did. All he wanted was to get his daughter.
“I hope her little ass enjoyed herself because it’ll be a cold day in hell before I let her go out without me again,” Nadine sassed as she eased into a turn.
Hassan looked around then at her. “Where are you going?”
“Home, Hassan. Did you hear what I said?”
“I heard you, I’ll get to that in a minute.” He answered quickly. “Why are we going to the house?”
Nadine glanced at him from the road, a confused look on her face. “Are you not staying at the house?”
“We need to go get Moriah, Nadine. You know that.”
She scoffed. “It’s damn near midnight, Hassan. They are not gonna let her out right now and even if they would, her ass would still be sitting in there until the morning.”
Leaning his head back against the headrest, Hassan took slow deep breaths trying to calm his nerves. Once he found out that Moriah hadn’t been abducted, he was relieved but it didn’t last long. His ex-wife waited until he informed her that he’d switched his flight for a later one to tell him that she had their daughter sitting at the detention center.
“Nadine,” he called out to her in a soft tone, “If you knew they wouldn’t let her out this late, you should have gone and got her sooner.”
“And what would she have learned? Nothing.”
“Being put in handcuffs, riding in the back of a police car and being booked did enough. Do you know what kind of kids you put her in there with?”
She chuckled. “I sure do. That was the point. She’ll learn that jail isn’t where she wants to be.”
Opening his eyes, Hassan turned to look at her trying to keep his anger at bay. “You know like I know that sneaking out with Zilla is the extent of everything. She hasn’t done anything else.”
“And that is supposed to make it okay? That bad ass boy is rubbing off on her. I need to nip it in the bud right now.”
“What if somebody does something to her in there?” He asked.
She shrugged. “The girl knows how to fight so she better fight back.”
His brows rose in shock. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing. “Wow,” he scoffed, “And what if this does the opposite of what you want? You know she starts actually doing bad things. What then?”
“Hassan, just drop it. She is going to learn her lesson this time and that’ll be it.”
“For your sake, you better hope she isn’t harmed while she’s in there.”
“No, she better hope that the judge goes easy on her and just gives her community service.”
Those words triggered Hassan and got his blood boiling. He couldn’t contain his anger anymore.
“Nadine, we are not pressing charges! She is our daughter for fucks sake! Just like I told you when we spoke earlier, charges are not an option! Am I being clear here?”
“She’s my child, I have custody of her so if I wanna press charges then that’s exactly what the hell I’m gonna do, Hassan! I am not a little girl, I do not need your permission to discipline our child!” She screamed pulling into the driveway.
She snatched her seatbelt off after killing the engine then jumped out with her purse and keys trying to get to the door before him. Choosing to get his bag later, Hassan followed closely behind his ex-wife and rushed in behind her, slamming the door closed.
“She lives with you but I have sole custody of her! Or did you forget? I let her stay because I did not want to uproot her so yeah, you do need my permission!”
Nadine tossed her things aside, going to get in his face. “I don’t need a got damn thing from you, Hassan! I am her mother and I will decide what’s best for her!”
“Don’t piss me off, Nadine. You don’t wanna do that.” He firmly stated in an eerily calm voice.
Taking a chance, Nadine leaned up on her toes to kiss him, catching him off guard. He pulled away, taking a step back from her giving her an incredulous look.
“Don’t.”
That was all he said before going back outside to retrieve his belongings.
The next morning, Hassan and Nadine went to pick their daughter up. He insisted on driving, not wanting her to make unnecessary stops or the long route. Their drive was silent aside from Nadine trying to make small talk.
While they waited for Moriah to be brought out to them, the officer from the prior day approached them.
“Good morning. Am I to assume that I can close this out?” He asked looking more to Hassan than Nadine.
“Yeah. Get rid of it. We not doin that.” Hassan informed him.
Nadine sucked her teeth. “How long can we think on it?” She ignored Hassan staring at the side of her face, keeping her eyes on the uncomfortable officer. “Well?”
“24 hours but ma’am, I don’t think that’s a good idea. She seems like a good kid and she had a really rough day and night yesterday. I think she gets the point.” He explained. He hoped she listened or Hassan would make her listen.
“Rough, you say? What happened?” She pushed with a small smirk.
Before he could elaborate, another officer came from the back with Moriah. She looked worn out, her hair was a mess and there were tear stains on her face. Seeing her made the smirk on Nadine’s face grow
“Daddy,” Moriah sobbed softly. She walked into his arms, breaking into a full blown sob as soon as her head hit his chest.
Fire rose in his chest feeling his daughter’s sobs shake her body as well as his own. This was something that he wasn’t going to let go as easily as he knew Nadine was hoping. The officer took Hassan’s answer as the final answer and handed Nadine some paperwork before bidding them a good day.
“Are you hurt? Are you okay? Did they bother you?”
Upon getting back to the house, Hassan carried his daughter to her room and sat on the side of the bed talking to her. She moved around her room to get a change of clothes so that she could shower.
“My side and back hurts,” she answered softly, trying not to cry. “They wouldn’t leave me alone. They took my pillow and my blanket too.”
“I’m so sorry, Rye. What happened to your side and back?”
“They had these bunks in there for us and they put me on the second. The girl under me,” she paused to wipe her tears, “She wanted to be on that bunk and told me to move. I told her no because I didn’t wanna get in trouble and because Zay said not to let them punk me.”
Hassan chuckled a bit at that. “I’m listening.”
“She kept telling me to move and I kept telling her no then she pushed me off the bunk to the floor.”
His brows furrowed. “What? What did the officers do?”
“Nothing,” she cried, “They just said to stop playing around. One girl in there was nice to me though. They bothered her too.”
Hassan tried to hide his anger from his daughter, not wanting to upset her more. “I’m glad you’re outta there. And don’t worry about nothing, I’m not gonna let your mama press charges. Okay?”
Moriah nodded solemnly.
“Good. You shower and take a nap. When you get up, I’ll take you to see Isayah and get you some food. Sounds good?”
“Yeah. Thank you, Daddy.”
“You’re my babygirl. You never have to thank me.”
As soon as he heard the shower running, Hassan went to the master bedroom where Nadine was lying across the bed on the phone and watching television. She rolled her eyes, muting the television.
“Can I help you, Hassan?”
“Hang up the phone.” He demanded calmly.
“For what? I’m talking to my sister.”
Hassan took a deep breath. “Unless you want your sister to hear me chew yo ass out, I suggest you hang it up.”
Nadine’s frown deepened hearing her sister laugh which was the only reason she hung the phone up. She sat up, moving to the side of the bed. “If you think you’re gonna chew me out about the charges then you’re mistaken. Might as well turn back around and leave my room. I don’t give a damn what you say, I’m doing it.”
“So you think I’m gonna let you do that to her? Is that what you think?”
“It's not what I think,” she sassed with a smirk, “It’s what I know. She’s gonna learn her lesson.”
“At what cost, Nadine? They pushed her off the top bunk! They took her shit and would not leave her be! That was only 24 hours in there!”
“Good!” She screamed jumping up. “Good! And I hope they lock her ass up for a whole year so them girls can do worse! Her ass deserves it!”
Hassan’s nostrils flared and his heart sunk at her words. He started to pace back and forth, keeping his eyes on his ex-wife. He took notice of her trembling hands and the way she nervously switched her weight from hip to hip.
“Just cause she cried to you, you think she learned her lesson and she didn’t. She just knows that a few tears will get you to lay off but that don’t work on me!”
“You pushing it, Nadine! You really pushing it!”
Nadine approached him, jabbing her finger into his chest. “Yeah and what are you gonna do about it, huh? What is Hassan gonna do about it? I do what the hell I want and there’s nothing that you can do or say about it!”
He grabbed her hand, roughly pushing her away from him. “If you press charges after I told you not to, I’m gonna take her with me and you’ll never see her again. I’ll make sure of it.”
“You can’t take her!”
Hassan caught her hand just as it came up to slap him. “I can and I will. If I have to move back here or fly her back and forth to see her friends every other weekend then I will if it means she’s away from your ass. Try me.”
“You’re really gonna take her away from me?” She asked with tears in her eyes. “She’s my baby. All I have left since you left me.”
Hassan again roughly let her hand go. “Oh now you care? You only want her for selfish reasons so keep the water works to yourself.”
“The only reason I did any of this is because I care about her well-being and how she turns out, Hassan!” She cried. “I care unlike the rest of you!”
“Bullshit,” he spat. “But you heard what I said, if you do that I’m taking her with me and you know I will.”
While their parents spoke, Zilla and Moriah went to his bedroom to talk. As soon as he closed and locked his door, he went to his best friend wrapping his arms around her tightly, letting her cry on his chest. He never knew what to say in these situations but he knew that giving her physical comfort was the next next thing. They stood in their embrace for a few minutes before she pulled away, he pulled her to sit on his bed with him.
“You ain’t let them hoes bother you, did you?” He asked, making her smile a little.
“I tried not to. It was hard.” She admitted softly.
He sucked his teeth. “You know what I told you, Fat. What they do?”
Moriah told him the same thing she had told her father earlier. “But I’m okay, Zay.”
Ignoring her words, he lifted the sides of her shirt and the back to check her out. Gingerly, he touched the small bruise on her left side making his hiss and move away from his touch.
“You ain’t okay, that shit hurt, Fat. You ain’t beat they ass?”
“No,” she frowned, “I didn’t wanna get in any more trouble and have to stay even longer.”
He sighed heavily. “I get that but if your mom stay on that bullshit then you goin back in there and they gon remember that you ain’t do shit about them fucking with you.”
“My dad said she’s not gonna.”
“But we both know how she is, Fat.”
She huffed lying back on his bed. “I trust him, you need to trust him too. I’ll be fine.”
He rubbed her thigh trying to comfort her. “Aight, Fat. You gon call your new friend? What was her name?”
“Her name is Dreka. I gave her my number to call me. She’s a runaway too.”
“Too?” He asked, laughing. “You get caught sneakin out one time and now you a runaway. Yeah aight, Fat.”
She pushed at his back laughing. “Shut up. I been locked up, Ima thug now. I’ll shank you.”
“Ooooh, I’m so scared.” He joked.
“Hassan, I really am sorry about this. Don’t worry, if I have to make him sleep in my bed I will make sure they don’t do that again.”
Hassan waved her off taking a drink of his soda. “No, no. You don’t gotta apologize. It was Rye’s choice too. The person that should be apologizing is Nadine.”
“Can’t argue with that,” she chuckled. “‘Please tell me that she’s not thinking of pressing charges still.”
“She’s not and if she does, she knows what’ll happen.”
Leata raised a brow, interested. “And what’s that?”
“I’m gonna take Rye with me and she’ll never see her again.” He answered with a straight face.
Leata was conflicted. She would be glad to get Moriah away from Nadine but she’d miss the girl and knew her son would. And she wouldn’t want Hassan in any trouble.
“You think she’d let you just take her like that?”
He smiled at her. “She doesn’t have to let me do anything. As far as the courts and the system is concerned, I have sole custody of Moriah. Not joint, not none of that. Sole custody.”
“Wait … what?” She laughed. “How the hell did you pull that off? When were you gonna tell me? And why the hell is she not with you?”
He laughed heartily at her reaction, giving her a shrug. “She wanted certain things in the divorce and I had a counter for each of them. In this case, she wanted to keep living in the house and I got sole custody of Rye. She’s not with me because she didn’t want to leave her friends, school and Zay. She said she could handle four more years with her. So that’s why I didn’t tell anybody. But Nadine knows so she should act accordingly.”
“Wow … gave up custody for a house.” Leata shook her head, thinking. “Albeit a nice house but you said live in, not own.”
“Yup,” he grinned, going to take another sip, “She wanted me to keep paying the bills and figured if I gave it to her outright I wouldn’t pay them.”
“She thought she was playing you but she played herself cause there’s no way you wouldn’t pay the bills if Moriah was still there.”
“Exactly but here we are.”
“I always told her that she was too smart for her own good,’ she chuckled, “So where do we go from here?”
Hassan rubbed through his beard. “I’m gonna talk to Zay, you’re gonna talk to Rye and hopefully get them both on the same page with us about everything so that we can all have some sort of peace. Cause I’m getting too old for this shit with her.”
“I hear that but okay good plan. Also, I wanted to share something with you.”
“What’s up?”
“After we got home yesterday, I talked to Isayah to see how long the two of them had been sneaking out and everything,” she explained in a low tone, “He said it’s been about four or five months. I asked him if they were having sex, he told me no and he didn’t get an attitude or anything when I asked so I believed him. He said they only kissed one time.”
“But?”
Hassan could sense the other thought lingering in the air.
“I’m not entirely sure how long that’s gonna last. They’re coming around to the fact that they like each other and find each other attractive. If you don’t mind, I was going to have a little talk with Rye because I know Nadine isn’t and if she does it won’t be helpful.”
Hassan nodded thinking about her offer. “Yeah, yeah … that’s fine with me. I’ll slide that into my talk with Zay. You think we’ll make it outta these high school years without a baby?” He joked.
Leata laughed so hard she started to cough. “Hassan, I hate you but honestly we’re probably not getting out of them without a baby or a baby scare and God help us all if there’s an actual baby.”

you were currently posing on the red carpet for the photos for the scream 6
you had been obsessed with the scream movies since you were young, so when you got invited to the premiere you were ecstatic
unknown to you, jack was watching you as they were taking group photos
he had seen you out of the corner of your eye since your dress was his favorite color
that and also the fact that you were one of the only people wearing a red dress
he'd seen you before in a few marvel movies where you portrayed silk (yall ik she doesn't rlly have a significant role in the mcu but let's pretend she does)
he was a huge fan of you since he's always loved spiderman since he was young
he wanted to go over and talk to you but it felt like he couldn't since there were so many interviewers stopping you
he took this time to take more photos and get interviewed but he kept freaking out since you were there
jack had absolutely adored our acting ever since he found out about you and very desperately wanted to get to talk to you
mason knew that jack would fangirl over you so he nudged jack
“dude just go talk to her, you're also famous” he said with a chuckle
jack felt himself go slightly pink, completely forgetting that he was now famous and it wouldn't be like he was talking to someone who didn't even know him
you had seen jack before and were impressed by his acting, especially since he wasn't in that many movies
after you had finished up an interview, you felt someone tap your shoulder and you turn around, looking up at the person
“hey uh i'm jack, i just wanted to introduce myself and just say i'm a huge fan” jack said looking nervous
“aww thank you! i'm y/n and i'm also a big fan of yours!” you say with a smile
“wait really?” he said shocked that you knew who he was
“yeah! you're spider in avatar and you're ethan in this movie!” you say laughing
“ohhhh yeah, i didn't really think people would realize that's me” he said with a chuckle, feeling himself warming up to you
you guys ended up talking for a while and jack took you to meet some of the other cast, who you were also big fans of
after the movie, jack came up to you asking you what you thought and then said something so unexpected
“so uh do you think i could get your number?” he asked nervously
you were shocked but nodded quickly, giving jack your phone so he could type his number in
“i know this seems a bit quick but i was wondering if i could take you out some time?” he said after handing your phone back
“no it's ok! but yeah i would absolutely love to!!!” you said, excitedly
when it was time to finally leave, jack gave you a hug and you kissed him on the cheek
“i'll text you later!” you said, leaving the embrace, giggling at jack's shocked expression
“yeah right that…bye y/n!!!” he said finally getting back to normal and waving at you
“bye jack!!!” you said, getting into the car
you were so excited for what jack had in mind for taking you out
especially since he had been your long time celebrity crush

#01. 'what am i getting into?' (smau+written)
ft. sohee (riize), female reader.
꩜ .ᐟ synopsis: after a chance meeting in the hushed aisles of the uni library and bickering over the last copy of "an introduction to statistical learning", fate keeps tugging y/n and sohee closer. despite their reserved nature and initial resistance, they find themselves drawn into each other's orbits, finding solace in each other's company.
꩜ .ᐟ wc: 0.9k
꩜ .ᐟ a/n: chapter one is out!!!!! we cheered!!!! IK THEYRE BOTH BEING MEAN TO EACH OTHER BUT ITLL GET BETTER I PROMISE YALL‼️ i hope you enjoy this sjnwjs if you have suggestions just tell me!! and what do you think of the written portion? is it too long? anyways I LOVE SOHEE !!
꩜ .ᐟ light theme is from y/n's pov and dark is from sohee's pov.
meanwhile, in sohee's orbit...
━˖°˖ ☆ ˖°˖ ━━━━━━━
y/n was in the front row of the lecture hall, silently playing with her pen as the professor rambled on and on, and on. she tried to focus, but she just couldn't. her mind drifted to the infamous book she had to get her hands on.
what am i supposed to do? every single copy in this campus is already borrowed, and buying the book is out of question—i'm so broke...
the sound of classmates loudly whispering behind her brought y/n back to reality. once again, she focused her eyes on the professor, reading the slide and jotting down something.
soon enough, the professor wrapped up her lecture and in a flash, y/n was out of the door, slinging her tote bag over her shoulder. she knew exactly where to go; the coffee shop she frequently went to was a few blocks outside of campus. this was her friend group's thing: twice a month they'd go there to study (as they like to say, but it's more of a gossip session...) and get their usual order. another tradition is that the last person to arrive was the one who paid for everyone's drink; hence, she speedwalked on her way there.
when she arrived, she let out a sigh of relief as she realized that she wasn't the last to arrive. giselle and anton were already sat at a circular table, chatting quite animatedly already. yeri was missing.
"y/n, over here!" giselle smiled warmly, waving her hand. y/n made her way over to the table, hugging giselle in the process.
"hey anton." y/n grinned, opening her arms.
"hi you," he replied, hugging her.
"i missed you guys." y/n pouted as she sat down.
yeri walked through the door and instantly spotted the three, and made a beeline towards them.
"heyyyy, i guess i'm gonna use my hard earned money on you. again." yeri deadpanned, emphasizing the last word.
"it's not our fault you're always late to everything." giselle shrugged, "and you have a corporate job."
━˖°˖ ☆ ˖°˖ ━━━━━━━
the quartet chatted for a good hour and a half, catching up with each other, when y/n's phone buzzed loudly on the table, startling her.
"ugh, who's interrupting our tea time?" anton groaned.
y/n stood up abruptly, eye blown wide in utter shock. "i need to go!" she exclaimed, putting her bag on her shoulder.
"what's wrong?" yeri asked, panicking. the other two were just as confused, eyeing y/n's frantic figure leaving the café.
"nothing's wrong. the book, i-uh, it's available! i need to get it!" y/n put her hands together, eyebrows dipped low. "sorry!" she mouthed.
"this girl is hopeless." anton chuckled dryly.
━˖°˖ ☆ ˖°˖ ━━━━━━━
y/n burst open the door, earning glares from students. as she looked for the reception desk, and next to it, she spotted the book on a cart. she speedwalked, as if she were a woman on a mission.
approaching the desk, the librarian came into view, with another student talking to her. "i'd like to borrow this," he pointed to a book. y/n's eyes followed his finger, and the realization hit her like a brick.
"you can't!" she whisper-shouted.
the two turned their heads towards her.
the guy lifted a brow at her remark. "what do you mean?" he replied, "i got here first."
the librarian sighed, shooing them away with her hands. "figure this out elsewhere, kids. find me when you're done." she went back to her computer, fixing her glasses.
the man snatched the book out of the cart, clutching it close to his chest. "this is so stupid." he let out a deep sigh.
"no it's not!" y/n glared at him, crossing her arms.
he ignored her, and started walking briskly towards a secluded part of the library, with her trailing behind him. the tension between the two was high, you could almost feel a sort of heaviness in the air.
once they found a spot with no one around, he looked at her for the first time. his soft boyish facial features contrasted with the frown adorning his face. "look," he stared in her eyes. "i suck at programming... and my project depends on this and i cannot, in any circumstances, fail this class," he uttered, irritation apparent in his voice. he sighed again, ruffling his dark and messy bed of hair out of frustration.
y/n stared back at him, not backing down. "well. i need it too! i might fail my class if i don't have it..." she argued back.
"what's your major?" he suddenly asked, eyeing her skeptically.
"comp sci, why?"
don't they learn this before us? why does she wants this book?
"then you're supposed to be good at this, why would you even need this book? are you a freshman?"
her jaw dropped, as anger started to bubble inside. "what are you insinuating?" retorted y/n.
"nothing." he looked away.
she groaned, as she looked at the ceiling.
what the hell was this dude's problem?!
she put her face in her hands, sighing loudly.
he stared at her exasperated form, remembering the bags under her eyes and her hunched posture. unexpectedly, he felt strange sense of pity—seeing his tired self in her. he recognized in her a kindred spirit; at the end of the day, they both were just trying to succeed in their respective fields.
we both need it, and she's just as desperate as me. although she could be nicer about it... also this conversation is going nowhere, at this rate, we'll be in here the whole night.
he pushed down his ego, and muttered "i have an idea”.
she looked up to him. yet this time, her eyes were met by a softer gaze. "what is it?" she inquired, voice quiet, taken aback by this display. he gulped, his adam's apple bobbing up and down.
"we can read it together if you don't mind..."
'oh boy, what am i getting into?' they both thought.

Oki doki! I don't really have a name for this au so if yall think of one lemme know. Call this the first chapter of my Post DTTM New Texas time travel fic I guess?
I don't know how well the concept is worded in this but I hope yall enjoy. Please please please lemme know what ya think
Under the read more (spacing might be a bit weird as its copied from my docs
When Jonny came too he was pissed. This was supposed to be the end, why was he still alive? It was like the universe was just trying to rub it in that he'd be alone…yet he felt someone else next to him. Somebody quite cold. Slowly and with much more effort than he expected he rolled over onto his back and sat up, having to do a double take at what he saw.
The entire crew was there, presumably knocked out themselves. Nastya was sitting closest to him, her body radiating a cold chill. Carefully he put a hand on her shoulder, almost jumping at the lack of warmth. He didn't let it dissuade him and carefully began searching for a pulse. It took a moment to find, he wasn't the greatest at it in the first place, but soon enough he found a pulse. It was slow but there. He let out a breath he didn't know he was holding and began to check everyone else in the area. Everybody who had a pulse normally still had it. They were all alive and all together.
That was that problem solved now where were they? It was a large empty clearing, a dry planet it seemed. Something about it nagged at him, like it was framiler. He tried to focus in on any noises and smells traveling in the wind which was harder to do than he expected. Perhaps he'd run out of practice? His ears twitched, alerting him to the sound of his friends starting to move.
He looked over to see Ivy slowly sit up and try to orientate herself. She brushed some dust and sand out of her hair and metal plating as she looked around before locking eyes with Jonny. Neither of them knew what to do for the moment, just staring at each other before finally he made a move. He practically launched himself at her to pull her into a tight hug, not saying a word. It took her a moment to process before she hugged back.
“Where are we?” She finally asked once he had let go. He just frowned and she seemed to get the message. “Should we awaken them?” With a simple gesture to the crew they agreed and began to shake everyone else awake. It wasn't too hard, most everyone woke up quite easily. Soon it was just the Toy Soldier left who didn't seem to respond to anything.
“Shit. How do we wake it up?” He looked to Ivy for ideas since everyone else was still adjusting. She stayed silent for a moment, staring at its body intensely as she analyzed the situation.
“It stopped pretending.”
“Yeah. Can we make it start again?”
“I think so.”
“How?”
“Pretend back.”
“And how do you suggest I do that exactly?” Jonny had to fight an eye roll at the simple suggestion. She paused to think it over before snickering quietly. “What? What did you come up with.”
“Well the most effective way, a 90 percent chance I believe, would be to give it a little kiss!”
“Wha- i- it's always kisses with you people!!!” He groaned, ignoring the rest of the crew's snickers as he crawled over to the toy soldier. After a moment he frowned and gave it a little kiss on the forehead. It seemed like nothing happened for a good few minutes before suddenly its eyes opened and it shot up like a bullet, hitting Jonny as he was still kneeled over it. He tumbled backwards holding his head. “Motherfucker!!!”
“Oh! Sorry Jonny old chap!” It held its hand out for him, clearly not picking up on his glare as he took the hand and let himself be pulled up. Once its hand had been taken the Toy Soldier pulled his friend into a tight hug, lifting the man off the floor ever so slightly. The others just watched as he attempted to wiggle his way out of the embrace, it being none the wiser of his escape attempts. “Lovely to see you again!!”
“Toy soldier, drop him.” It frowned but released the first mate from its grip, looking to Nastya who had given the order. “Thank you. Now, where are we exactly?” She turned her attention to Brian and Ivy, both of which were trying to work on recognizing the area.
“I do believe there is a town nearby.” Ivy clarifies after a long moment of silence. “Do you feel it?” Brian nodded and began walking toward something.
“Hold on, we can't just be going off into the middle of nowhere!” Jonny called out, having to sprint to catch up with his long strides. Brian paused for only a moment, scooping Jonny up in his arms once he was close enough. “Hey!! Hold on a fuckin’ second!! Put me down, bastard!!!”
“It's better than staying out here in the middle of nowhere. What's the worst that could happen?” Nastya's breath was visible as she spoke, the intense difference of the hot climate and how cold she was obvious.
“Shes got a point.” Ashes chimed in, catching up with the group.
“Theres a lot we need to discuss too.” Raph added; stretching as she walked. “Wouldn't that be better over some drinks?” Jonny didn't awnser right away, just staring at the group from over Brian's shoulder before sighing.
“Fine.” He grumbled, his tail flicking like that of an agitated cat. “Just…” Suddenly he sat up fully in Brian's arms, eyes narrowed and ears twitching. A low growl reverberated in his throat. The rest of the Mechanisms were confused. Clearly something had caught his attention but they couldn't see anything.
“Jonny?” He didn't respond even as Brian shifted to try and make them look eye to eye. Clearly whatever had his attention was important in some way. “What do you see?”
“I know where we are.” He finally clarifies as they continue to walk. “and we are going to stand out a lot. Now the problem is when..” He sighed and closed his eyes, ears twitching forward toward the horizon.
“Well, spill. Where are we then?” Ashes paused to light a cigar, missing the framiler taste. Jonny doesn't answer right away, instead shifting in Brian's arms so he could see ahead better. He was squinting in the bright sun's gaze, eventually deciding to pull his goggles over his eyes to focus.
“When would be a better question.” He grumbled mostly to himself as the town started to come into view.
“Looks like Vegas almost..” Tim pointed out as they approached. “Old party city on earth. Filled to the brim with gambling alcohol and all that fun stuff.” He explained after getting a few confused looks.
“Yeah…that's one way to describe this place.” Jonny sighed and climbed out of Brian's arms, this time allowed to do so. He did a wide gesture to the whole place as he began to talk. “Welcome to New Texas,” choosing to ignore the soft gasps coming from a few of his crew, he continued. “You're almost all going to stand out a lot just for being tall. I'm the taller side of average here.”
“No way. Really?” Tim had his doubts as he looked over his significantly shorter partner.
“Yes!! If you don't belive me you'll see in just a minute!!” He turned around and stormed toward the city, his tail betraying just how agitated he was about it.
“Well…I belive its about time we learn about Jonny.” Ivy pointed out as she began to follow the man.
“Oooh, do you think we can learn about his medical history here?” Marius chimed in with an excited look on his face.
“That would be wonderful!” Raph clapped her hands together with a big grin, the others simply choosing to ignore their interest in the topic. They kept walking until they reached the edge of town, proceeding into Jonny who had stopped.
“Something wrong chap?” Toy Soldier asked as it followed his gaze into town. After a moment the man just sighed and turned to face his companion.
“You look too clean, you're gonna stand out.” It didn't even have a chance to ask what he meant before he pulled him down by the shirt and took its hat away. He took a moment to ruffle its carefully styled hair before letting go. “That'll do for now. Right, listen up. As your captain-”
“First mate!”
“-You need to listen to me. Especially here.” For once he didn't even react to the jest. “This place is…shit. People here are gonna try and trick ya and rob ya at every moment. Just…keep a look out i guess.” He sighed, his gaze drifting back into town. “Blasted timelines.” After a moment he shook his head and ruffled his hair up. “Lets go to the bar.” He didn't even wait for a response before heading further into town. They had to hurry to catch up, lest they lose him in the crowded streets.
“Wow…he wasn't kidding.” Tim mused as he walked, paying attention to where he was stepping.
“So many of them-!” Raph squealed, barely able to contain her excitement.
“Until we know exactly what is happening you are not touching anybody.” Nastya’s tone left no room for discussion on the subject. She pulled her coat closer, glad she still had it as the cold had permeated her bones.
“This certainly explains a lot about our first mate!” Toy Soldier exclaimed, looking around with an eager smile. Eventually Jonny finally stops outside a larger building in the center of a crowded street. He took a deep breath and looked back to his crew.
“Right-”
“This is One-Eyed Jacks??” Tim interrupted, looking up at the sign.
“Yes. As much as I absolutely detest this place...they serve good drinks. Just…don't do anything stupid.” Jonny takes one last deep breath before opening the door and stepping inside. Everyone started following him in before there was a soft thunk. Turning back they saw tim holding his head, having clearly hit the door frame on his way in. Jonny just stared at him for a moment before chuckling which quickly turned into a proper laugh. “Should'a ducked jackass-” Tim only grumbled, still holding his head as he ducked this time before purposely stepping on the smaller man's foot. His hand flew to his holster only to find it empty. Right. He had thrown it away a while ago. “Yer a lucky bastard Tim.”
“Jonny.” Nastya scolded, looking down at him and then at Tim. “You already said we will stand out, do not bring any more attention to yourselves.”
“Yeah yeah…” He grumbled, hating the fact that she was right. Once he had taken the moment to calm down he led his group to the edge of the bar and took a seat on the farthest end he could get. It was clear to anyone paying attention he was very fidgety compared to normal. “Ashes ya got gold?”
“Always.” They dug into their pocket and pulled out a wallet, glad to see the papers weren't burnt. “Not in the mood for violence huh?” He just watched them as they took the seat next to him. After a moment he answered with a shrug.
“‘M too tired.” He spoke quietly, a very rare occurrence for himself. Tim decided to just stand next to Jonny, leaning against the bar as everyone else took a seat. Nobody knew what to say as they waited for a bartender to spot them.
“Good afternoon gents, and ladies of course.” A voice spoke up as someone approached. Jonny had to stop himself from growling as he recognized the man behind the bar. “Can't say i've seen yer faces ‘round here before ‘nd I know everyone. What can I get ya?” It was pretty easy to figure out that the bartender was the “one eyed jack”, owner of the casino and bar. The eyepatch made it quite obvious, confirmed by how much Jonny tensed up.
“Just whiskey,” Ashes decides to take the wheel before Jonny reaches over the bar and strangles the man.
“For all of yall?” They just nod as he reaches under the counter and pulls out a bottle of whiskey. “Never seen yall ‘round here before. Where'd ya come from?”
“We came from outer space!” Jack pauses pouring a glass and looks at the Toy Soldier who only smiled. He was certainly intrigued, especially as Ashes elbowed it.
“Soldier! Don't answer random questions.” They scolded, watching as it paused for a moment before nodding and doing a mini salute, a signifier of having taken an order. Jack takes a moment to finish pouring the nine glasses before looking at them again, this time taking in as many details as he could.
“So, outer space huh? We ain't get many of those ‘round here too often. What brings ya to our lil’ town?” Clearly he was trying to sound nonchalant about it all despite being very interested. They could all see it from a mile away.
“None yer business jack.” Jonny grumbled before very quickly slamming his drink back. The man's ear twitched as he turned his focus to Jonny.
“Visitin’ after ya left huh? Ain't a very common thing to see. Dunno I've ever seen someone come back.” Jack leaned over the counter right in front of Jonny. Everyone just watched, unsure of what to do. If a fight broke out there was no saving the guy as Jonny was clearly barely holding back. “I can hear it in yer voice. Yer from ‘round here.” Jonny didn't answer, just staring at the man for a long moment before reaching over to Ashes and swiping their cigar.
“Wh-Jonny! You could just ask for your own!” They gently punched him in the shoulder but didn't bother taking it back as he took a puff.
“Taking yers is more fun.” Jack opened his mouth to say something before his attention was pulled away by someone knocking on the bar. Someone set an unmarked envelope on the table which Jack slipped into his pocket without a word. They didn't get much of a chance to look at the stranger before they disappeared through a door behind the bar. Jack watched them leave before turning his attention to the group again.
“Anything else I can get ya?” Jonny just shook his head.
“No. We should get going.” He could feel the rest of his crew look at him weird, after all they hadn't been there long and he almost never left after only one round of drinks. Quietly he just gestured to the door, mouthing something about explaining in a second. It took them all a moment to understand but soon enough Ashes was paying the tab and they were out in the hot sun again.
Jonny wasted no time in walking away, clearly having his mind set on something and not sharing what it was per usual. Since he was essentially their guide the rest of the mechanisms had no choice but to follow, each with varying levels of curiosity on where he was going. After a few minutes of silent walking he took a turn into an alleyway.
“Okay, what are you doing Jonny?” Nastya eyed him suspiciously as he pulled himself on top of a dumpster.
“Gonna check somethin. Stay put.” It was strange to hear him so serious as he climbed up the side of a building and onto the roof. He paused to look down at the group, once again gesturing for them to stay before walking across the roof and out of view.
“Well thats not suspicious at all.” Ashes scoffed, lighting a new cigar as Jonny hadn't given theirs back.
“Should we be following him?” Marius fidgeted awkwardly with his coat tail, unsure of what to do.
“We should give him a few minutes.” Brian piped in, startling a few of them. He had been very quiet since they arrived in New Texas and had been the last to finish his drink. If Brian was encouraging something it usually meant he had an idea of what was happening so they agreed to stay, at least for the moment.
Still they couldn't help but wonder what he was up to that climbing onto a roof was the best way to go about it. Clearly he'd taken that path many times as he got up with ease. It was just more mystery about his actual backstory.

Trash Tuesday
ok yes it's Saturday, almost Sunday, but whatever!! thank u @kamaela and @phoenixortheflame for tagging me! this is a not edited, not fully-formed tidbit from a thing i wrote ages ago, from a longfic idea (HA) which idk what will happen to, so it may be trash or it may get rescued. ok whatever im doing it
“You’re not Harry Potter,” Draco said, gaze fixed pointedly away from the Auror who had just entered the room. He sat with as much grace as could be mustered in the stark steel chair that was cutting into his rear. His chin was balanced in a considering manner against one hand, and he leaned his shoulders forward, just so—a practiced pose, as if he were entertaining guests in his own parlor. The only thing that belied his current situation was the pair of crude iron shackles around his wrists.
It was honestly barbaric--Draco could feel his magic withering up inside them. And although the humiliation was nothing new, it still burned.
He distracted himself from it by circling his fingers over the faint indents pockmarking his side of the table. Bite marks, he realized, as he traced a divot that seemed very canine. Leaving them there was surely just an intimidation tactic. The DMLE was not so full of incompetent bastards that they couldn’t set it right with a simple Reparo.
The Auror took the seat opposite him. “You’re a criminal. You don’t get to make demands.”
Draco’s lip twitched, and he finally gave the Auror a once-over. She seemed young—a rookie, then. He let out a dramatic sigh and leaned back, pulling on his shackles so that the chain snaked to the floor with a loud rattle. “That’s word for word what the last one said. Does Robards train you all to be copies of the same person?”
At his taunting of her superior, she flushed, and the knuckles of her hand went white. Hot-blooded twats, the lot of them, he thought. Draco’s lip still stung from what the last Auror had thought about his smart-mouthed comments.
“You talk big, but I know who you are,” she said, turning up her nose at him. “You’re just some washed up Death Eater.”
She was too young to really know what that meant. Draco gave her an icy smile. “Correct. And you’re just the person stuck here with me until Potter arrives. As I’ve said repeatedly, I won’t answer questions to anyone else."
She sniffed. “Sure. If he’ll even come for the likes of you.”
“He’ll come,” he said.
She shrugged, and, mercifully, decided to disregard him from that point onwards. He was thankful for the silence as he sat there, ignoring the growing pit in his stomach that came with waiting for The Boy Who Lived (And Who Probably Still Hated Him). Her last jab had been uncomfortably close to the possibility that was now gnawing at Draco’s core—Harry could very well ignore his plea and refuse to question him. Then Draco would be well and truly fucked.
He could only hope that Harry had changed his mind in the weeks since their confrontation—that he’d decided Draco was worth giving another chance to, or at the very least, worth a listen.
Mostly, Draco thought it would be nice if Harry would look at him one more time.
okay i'll post a lil bit more from this :/ i found some more non-cringey parts. throwing the trash at yall.
“Malfoy,” sighed Harry. He rubbed at his eyes before settling down in the seat the other Auror had just vacated. “There had better be a good reason for this.”
“You came,” Draco said, immediately diverging from the script he’d written in his head during the last hour.
Harry gave Draco a little smile, the kind that tugged up only one side of his lip. “Almost didn’t. But it’s not every day Draco Malfoy turns himself into the DMLE for, what was it?” He read out loud from the little file in front of him. “Unauthorized production of controlled potions.”
Draco shrugged, trying not to be disarmed by Harry’s unexpectedly mellow behavior. “I expect they’ve already ransacked my flat by now.”
Harry turned a page in the report and nodded. “They did. And you know what they found?”
No, he didn’t. But he could imagine.
Any levity on Harry’s face had vanished. He pinned Draco with a furrowed gaze. “Dark Magic, Malfoy. Lots of it. Your entire place was a death trap. The first two Aurors to arrive on scene are at St. Mungo’s.”
“Merlin,” Draco breathed, eyes wide. “Are they…?”
Harry studied him for a long moment before he spoke. “They’ll be fine. They were smart enough to trigger the curse indirectly, though it still nearly blasted them to pieces. It seems they had some sort of warning.”
His hastily scribbled message had been somewhat heeded. Draco let out a small sigh of relief.
Harry folded his arms now, jaw setting in the way that it did when he was feeling particularly stubborn. He sounded reproachful. “Apparently, you’ve refused to say a word to anyone but me. Well I’m here now, so talk.”
Talking. That was usually one of his talents. Draco avoided Harry’s intense gaze, looking instead at an ink stain that marred the deep red robes near his elbow. He opened his mouth to speak, but hesitated several times without managing to produce any sound.
“You’re not going to like this,” he settled on finally, voice muffled while he rubbed a hand down his face.

Your weary sighs were blatantly loud on purpose so he would hear.
His pinched gazing noggin popped out from the bundle of blankets wrapped around him, relaxing on the back porch of your private shared abode.
The puffy pure powder made his raven hair pop out well against the snow.
“Alright what's wrong?”
“How did you know?”
“You’re sighing right in my face. That and you're obviously hiding something behind your back.” Geto knowingly stated, grinning, before patting the space beside him, gesturing you to sit. “Now, what is it?”
You plopped your cheek on his blanketed shoulder, resigned as you handed him a familiar velvet box, embarrassingly admitting to his wry amusement as he opened it up.
“It's a duplicate of the locket I gave Toru on his birthday. They're a matching set. Sorry I couldn't come up with something else for you but I really didn't know what could top it — mmph!”
His giant sculpted hand covered your mouth mid rambling, his almond eyes crinkled with mirth.
“It's perfect.”
You snorted a bit behind his palm, gently pulling his giant hand down with both yours, caressing and playing with his fingers. “Toru said the exact same thing.”
His fingers grasped your chin to tilt your face for him to peck your lips. Your nose. Your eyelids. Just all over your face, in general.
“Because it's pure fact. For it symbolizes the moment Satoru and I realized you're the one we've been waiting for.”
God he has such a way with words.
“Care to help me put it on?”
You did with such care, gasping as he pulled you down right after, falling across his lap, giggling and kicking your feet as his Cheshire grin greeted you with even more kisses peppering all over your bashful face.
“Thank you for the gift, love.” His genuinity made his eyes shine brighter to you.
Your nose brushed his as the early rise of the sun caught your gazes, making your snowy grounds sparkle. “Happy birthday Sugu.”
“Hey! No fair leaving me out of the love fest!”
That familiar raspy voice complained as lean long arms draped across Geto's blanketed shoulders and your cradled form as Gojo plopped down beside him, hair disheveled and pajamas wrinkled but his sleepy smiling face was elevated by the sunrise glow.
“Well old timer? How's 34 treating ya so far?”
“You're a year older, idiot.”
“Ah but Suguru, 30s are the new 20s. At least that's what our precious kids tell me, anyway.”
“You're both still quite knockouts~” Your shy compliment made them both blush red but Gojo laughed heartily.
“Ya see~? Darling’s got the best taste.” Taking the locket in his hand to see it up close with sentiment, Gojo's eyes twinkled, smitten. “She chose us, after all.”
You kissed Suguru's cheek while Satoru kissed the other, nuzzling his beaming face into Suguru who couldn't suppress his soft laughter. “Suguru, thank you. For everything you do.”
“Thank you for your empathy, your support, your guidance.” You confess warmly, smooching him to see him fluster.
“And for being the best partner in all walks of life.” Satoru's thankfulness spoke volumes, kissing him smoldering.
“God you're both sappy.” Suguru's breathy chuckle only elevated how warm and fluttery and thankful he felt inside for you both. “The feeling’s mutual.”
You three spent a while just sitting there, cuddling close together, just taking in the fresh air and the gorgeous start to this special day.

Word Count: 5.6K
Song: No Time To Die by BILLIE EILISH
Special Guests: Mr. Landon (Denzel Washington)
Skeletons
Tytus had managed to make it back to Gardenia in record time. With added weight on his shoulder, the time that it took to get there the first time would’ve been sliced in half.
But with the way Tytus pushed and pulled farm equipment, lulled around heavy pelts and chopped wood, carrying her around like this was not even close to the hard work that he’d put in everyday.
When he made it back to Gardenia, she neigh loudly; excited to see her faithful owner.
‘Gardenia— shh!’ Tytus tried to hush her but to no avail, Alyssa had awakened.
Alyssa instantly groaned as she came to be. She blinked away her blurry vision, instantly taking note that she was upside down and being carried. In that moment, adrenaline kicked in and she began to panic! She began to flay and kick her legs around and punch against his muscular back.
‘LET ME GO! SOMEBODY HELP ME!’
It all happened so damn quickly, Tytus barely had a moment to explain what happened before she did her damndest for him to drop her.
‘Alyssa, Alyssa! It’s alright, it’s me!’
She continued to kick her legs and beat against his back like a maniac, ‘I don’t know who you are! PUT ME DOWN RIGHT NOW OR ELSE MY FATHER—‘
Tytus stopped in his tracks as she kept screaming for dear life. Rolling his eyes, he sighed out, ‘If I put you down—‘
‘AAAAHHHH! PUT ME DOWN!’
‘Suit yourself.’ He huffed before wrapping his arm around the back of her knees and practically tossing her on her back.
‘URGH!’ She exclaimed at the impact, squeezing her eyes shut until she was able to suck in some air. ‘What the hell is your—‘ Her crazed eyes opened to see Tytus standing before her, face and hair bloodied with his arms folded across his chest. He had this unamused expression written across his features.
‘Tytus! I—‘
He stood there with his thick brow raised. His patience was now long gone at this point and he was ready to get back home to some warm soup and his cot.
‘Wh-‘ Alyssa took a moment to look at her surroundings as her busty chest rose and fell quickly. Her adrenaline began to subside as she realized that they were the only ones here. ‘What are you doing here? H-how did you find me?’
‘I don’t think that too much matters right now. What does, is that the sun is setting faster than anticipated. You will have to explain to your father where you’ve been all afternoon.’
Gritting her teeth together, she felt the sudden soreness in her cheek. She reached up to touch it but flinched, hissing at the sensitivity. Her own blood had dripped up her face when she was carried, and was now dry along with the opening of her wound.
‘What’s happened to my face?’
Tytus stared at her for another moment before walking over to Gardenia. ‘You brought harm to one of the men who imprisoned you in that pillory. They punished you for defending yourself.’
Looking back at her white haired savior, her lips parted for a moment. Then it dawned on her. The blood on his face, hair and neck, his messy and out of place locks that were once pulled back tightly in a ponytail. He found her, and killed the men who made the attempt to steal her pride away from her.
Never before would she have imagined that Tytus could kill! Well she knew that he would go out into the woods and hunt but to kill humans?! You had to be a special kind of hard to come to the aid of another and take not just one but 3 lives. It appeared that there was more to him after all.
Alyssa carefully pulled herself to her feet as her lips parted. Her mind was racing with what she could say to him. Beg him not to tell her father. Ask him what he wanted in return.
‘I—‘ she paused for a second, ‘Thank you, Tytus.’
Tytus pulled out his water skin and popped the top before dumping water over his face to rid himself of the dried blood that stuck to his skin. Then, he used a cloth to wipe his face dry.
The woman watched him in awe. Watching as the contaminated water trail down his jaw, to his neck where it disappeared and seeped into his linens. Soaking his shoulders and chest. She bit into her bottom lip and managed to tear her gaze away from this magical scenery. Stop looking at him like that. He’s not even attracted to you. You’re acting like you’ve never seen a man before.
Not a man like this. Targaryens always had this aura of beauty about them. And even as a bastard, he still embodied that rare beauty.
Tytus held the water skin in his hand as he walked towards her and held it out to her.
She glanced at his hand before glancing up at him.
‘I don’t think your father would be too pleased with seeing blood on your face even if it meant that you tore off that prick’s face in the process.’ A small smirk curled on his lips. To say the least, he was very impressed with her efforts and very proud.
Alyssa reached up to touch her chin where she was met with a thick, sticky substance.
He gave her a firm nod for her to take it and once she did, she wasted no time pouring lukewarm warm water on her face. And just as she did with him, Tytus watched as the water dripped down from her face, to her neck and her cleavage.
Alyssa was probably one of the most beautiful women he’s ever seen. It was everything about her physical appearance but also how she carried herself. She was confident and never bit her tongue for anyone. How could one not adore someone like that?!
He swallowed hard before turning his head and holding out the cloth he’d used just moments before.
She took the cloth and patted herself dry and let out a gentle sigh, ‘Thank you.’
Tytus bowed his head and let out a gentle sigh, ‘We’ve got to get home.’
***
Alyssa sat in front of Tytus, using his lap as a cushion since his saddle was only made for one. Anyone would think this was uncomfortable, but Tytus had been in worse positions. Besides, what kind of man would he be to decline a pretty girl a seat? Every once in a while though, she would bring her hips up a little to take some pressure off of his lap. He didn’t mind it though.
Perhaps because this way, he was able to touch her without feeling like a pervert. Or because he was able to sneak little sniffles here and there from her hair that was destroyed by the hands of those assholes. And my, she smelled so good! Like figs, citrus and flowers.
‘You’re welcome… by the way.’ Tytus declared.
She gently turned her head at his comment. ‘I’m sorry, I—‘
‘It’s not your fault. If those men hadn’t done it to you, they would’ve done it to someone else. It’s best that they met their fate sooner than later.’
Alyssa grew quiet for a moment. Even though he was right, he seemed strangely calm about all of this. Whereas she was trying to figure out what in the hell to tell her father.
‘Are you always this calm when it comes to death?’
Tytus scoffed and raised a brow, ‘If you’ve seen the things I have… you would be too.’
She knew it! She knew he was more than just an average village hunter. She knew that there was something that molded him into this hardened individual. ‘What have you seen?’
‘Things I vowed not to repeat.’
‘Alright. How many people have you killed?’
He blinked hard and glanced down at her with his eyebrows tugged into one again.
‘I mean… you obviously killed those three trained soldiers. And without a scratch! You’ve done this before.’
‘How do you know I killed them all?’
‘Because If they were after us, we’d be moving much faster now.’
Well, that was a valid point. And he couldn’t argue that.
‘You’re quite observant.’ He grumbled.
‘Well when you’re raised to just cater to others and to do it quietly… that’s all you have. Observance.’
In a way, they did have that particular trait in common.
‘I don’t keep up with how many people came across my blade. Do you keep up with how many people you serve a day?’
‘Yes.’
And yet she continues to surprise him the more she speaks.
‘For my own reasons.’
‘Hmm.’
It grew quiet once again. And for a moment, he was relieved for the peace. The sounds of Gardenia’s hooves stomping against the dirt, insects chirping in the air, leaves dancing in the wind. But then…
‘Are you going to tell my father?’
Inhaling softly, he paused at her question. The right thing to do would be to tell her father. But she was an able adult woman. It wasn’t exactly his place to tell her business. Plus, the old man would probably try to chain her up to that damn Pub. As any father would, he didn’t blame him for that.
‘Not if you don’t want me to. I do wonder how you’re going to explain your cheek.’
The woman paused for a second as she felt the sudden throb stun her cheek once again. ‘Mmph..’ she paused for a second. ‘Maybe we blame Gardenia.’
‘You’ve gone mad.’
‘What?! I think it is a good idea.’
‘It is not! My horse will not take the blame for what those bastards did to you. Your father would have every intent to come after the both of us.’
‘Tytus, you don’t know him like I do. He wouldn’t harm a fly!’
‘For his child? A man would do anything to protect those he loves. Never mistake that again. Any other plan will do, just not that one.’
The woman shut up at his lecture. She couldn’t argue this point this time.
***
The pair had made it back to the village and the sun was well set by now. The moon had just began its journey across the sky and the villagers were finally settling in for the evening.
Pulling the reins, he brought Gardenia to a slow stop. ‘Whoooa, whoa.’ He said calmly before, ‘Up.’
With his demand, Alyssa rose her hips carefully as he began to unmount his mare. He then took Gardenia’s reins and walked her over to the stables at her father’s Pub. But he noticed that each stall was occupied with 4 armored horses. Swallowing hard, he stood there for a second as he tried to develop a plan.
‘Tytus? Is everything alright?’ Alyssa asked concerned.
He looked up at her for a moment, ‘Yes, just… have to find somewhere else to tie her up for now.’
‘Well you can tie her up by the fence! Sometimes when we run out of stalls we have tenants leave their horses there.’
‘Mmm.’ He hummed as he walked her over to the wooden picket fence and tied her up on the stable part of it. Afterwards, he reached his hand up towards her for her to grab.
Alyssa smiled softly at his kindness and placed her hand in his. She held down her dress as she quickly swung her leg over and slid down off of the saddle to the thick mud. ‘Thank you.’
‘Don’t mention it.’ He sighed softly as he looked down at her.
She looked up at him.
There they were again, staring into one another’s eyes.
‘Uh— we should get you inside. The quicker we can explain this to your father, the quicker I can go home and rest.’
‘Right— oh, Tytus! What are you going to tell him about your hunt?’
Dammit, that damn hunt. He forgot all about that!
‘Don’t worry about that… I will figure it out.’
Alyssa led him into the pub where she was instantly greeted by the frantic call of her father. ‘Alyssa! My dear child!’ He exclaimed as he dropped the wash cloth on the wooden counter and rushed over to her.
‘Papa.’ He said softly as she turned her head away to hide the swollen gash on her cheek.
Mr. Landon was quite a good looking man. He had beautiful dark brown skin and he stood tall. But the gray ring around his eyes reflected in his age. His finely faded cut hair and goatee was salt and peppered. His teeth were white as pearls, but both of his canines shined gold. He wore small gold hoop earrings that matched his necklace and rings.
Tytus hadn’t been around a lot of wealthy people growing up, but Mr. Landon wore his wealth very well. From his clothes to how he ran his businesses, he was very professional.
‘Oh, where have you been?! A-are you alright?!’ He grabbed her chin and began to examine her. Then he saw her injury.
‘I’m alright pa.’ She hissed
Mr. Landon asked sternly, ‘What happened to your face?!’ Immediately causing a scene, her father glanced over at Tytus who he immediately took to blame, ‘Did you harm my daughter?!’
‘What?! Papa no!’
Tytus sighed out softly under his breath, ‘Here we go.’
‘I-I just…’
‘She fell off my horse…’ Tytus lied, pursed his lips together.
‘Fell off your horse?! Alyssa what in faith of the seven were you doing on a horse!?’
She opened her mouth to speak once again.
‘I was teaching her to ride..’
Oh, that sounded so bad. Her father glared at him with a knowing look. ‘Teaching her how to ride…’
‘Tytus—‘
‘Exactly what I said. I was teaching her how to ride and Gardenia got a little too excited. I am.. terribly sorry for this—‘ he glanced down at the woman who was now glaring up at him with a bewildered look. ‘Accident.’
‘Uh huh.’ Her father added as he stared him down. ‘Where’s the Stag? You promised some meat this evening.’
‘The woods were unkind to me. I was unable to make my catch so I decided to return home for the evening. I shall bring you venison on the morrow.’
Why, that was partially true. But he was a damn good liar.
The innkeeper stared up at Tytus to see if he’d break but… nothing. ‘Well, alright. I suppose I could overlook this. Alyssa.’ He said before looking at his daughter once more.
‘Yes father?’
‘Go get yourself cleaned up. We’ve got close this pub soon and an Inn to run.’
Tytus’ brows furrowed, ‘wait you aren’t going to make her work tonight are you?’
‘Unfortunately son, the pub closes but the Inn does not. I need all the help I can get around here.’
‘I don’t think you understand, Mr. Landon… she fell off of a horse.’ He pressed on. Though it was a lie, he had to stand on that lie. Why would someone make their child work after they’d been injured?
‘Tytus, it really is alright. I am quite used to the long hours and… everything the Inn demands.’
He glanced over at her with his perplexed expression still written across his face.
‘Goodnight and… thank you for your lessons today. I shall take them into account for when I own my own horse someday.’
The woeful glare that was written in her eyes caused Tytus’ stomach to ache. And when she walked away, his eyes followed her to the back of the pub before she disappeared up the stairs.
‘Send your mother my regards? You both are welcome here anytime.’ Mr. Landon said finally before turning away and walking back to the bar.
Tearing away his glare, Tytus was quite piqued; unable to understand why her father could be so inconsiderate. He then looked up at the group of soldiers that sat in the far corner of the room, eating their fill for the evening.
Those horses must’ve been theirs. Why were they here? In the past year and a half of him and Sondra living here, they’d never come this far. He couldn’t tell if they were just passing through, or if there was something more serious afoot.
***
Tytus walked outside of the inn where he was instantly met with another armored individual petting the mane of his horse. But this one was rather different from the others inside. He sported a long clean and thick white cape that barely missed the ground. No one touched his horse without his permission.
‘May I help you, ser?’ He asked calmly.
The individual turned back to look at Tytus. With a gentle smile, he gave the mare a charming clap against her shoulder. ‘She yours?’
‘Aye..’ he said harshly.
‘I’d give you 25 gold dragons for her.’
That wasn’t even half of a bargain. Gardenia had been his horse for about 9 years. And she had been his only friend in such harsh circumstances. They had a bond that was unmatched. They trusted one another. He would be a fool, to give that up. To add, he had 25 gold dragons already.
‘She is not for sale.’ Tytus said firmly as he finally walked towards his steed and began to untie her reins from the fence.
The white cloak held his hands behind his back, ‘Well she would make quite the stallion maker wouldn’t you agree? She is young, and very strong. I have been looking for such a mate for my horse for quite some time.’
Tytus inhaled deeply through his nose. ‘She is not for sale.’ He repeated, with his back turned towards him.
‘Mmm. My apologies, where are my manners? I am Ser Criston Cole.’
‘I know who you are.’ Tytus said confidently as he rummaged through his satchel to make sure he didn’t steal anything from him.
‘Ah. Then you must know that I’d be willing to pay a great coin for the best of the best.’
The white haired male’s nose flared as he closed his eyes for a moment. ‘I don’t care what you’re willing to pay…Ser Crispy Cole.’ There was a bite in his tone now. Tytus turned to face him head on now, ‘She. Is not. For. Sale.’
The two men stared into one another's eyes, fighting for the dominant spot of who was the most immorally responsible really.
The light look had since disappeared from Ser Criston Cole’s face. ‘You do know you’re supposed to bow in the wake of your Commander?’
‘I don’t bow to anyone.’
‘You will… Tytus Targaryen.’
The last name burned his ears as if flames had been lit there. My, if the man kept count of how many times he’d been angry today!
‘Did I strike a nerve? Or shall I refer to you as… Snow.’
‘You won’t refer to me as anything.’
The Commander let out a gentle sigh with a slightly amused look carved into his face, ‘I shall do as I please… No need to get hasty! These people don’t deserve to see that side of you.’
Tytus leaned in closer, his head falling to the side, ‘Is that a threat, white cloak?’
Ser Criston Cole stared up at him a little longer before swiftly walking around him and starting towards the Inn’s door. ‘Take it as you will.’ He turned around once again to face Tytus. ‘I will be watching you, Snow…’
Tytus’ teeth gritted together as he held Gardenia’s reins tight in his fist. He’d had every intention to go gut that prick like a fish. But he’d put this little village at risk. He and his mother had found peace here in the last year. The people were kind and they didn’t deserve that kind of ailment in their lives.
He’d soon regret that decision.
***
He’d made it back to the cabin, tying up Gardenia to the stables in the back before walking through the back door.
Sondra jumped, startled at his sudden arrival. She held a piece of paper in her hand that she’d quickly folded and hid behind her back. ‘Son, you’re home early!’
Tytus narrowed his eyes at her as his palm rested on the door knob. ‘Mother, it’s after dark. I was supposed to been home?’ He’d taken note that she had her hand behind her back. ‘What’s that?’
She was hoping that he didn’t catch on but she knew her boy was a man who was attentive to everything. His worst fear was probably not knowing enough of a situation to have control over. So, she fed him a lie.
Pulling the paper from behind her back, ‘It’s just some letter the lady from deep in the village sent me.’
Now, for anyone else that would make sense. But his mother preached against making friends and developing bonds with people, especially with them living their lives on the run.
He knew she was being secretive. But he played along for now.
‘Oh? What lady?’ Tytus asked as he tried to appear as engaged with the conversation as possible.
Sondra hesitated before pushing a loose strand of her gray hair behind her ear. ‘It’s no matter. She’s not important.’ Folding the paper up nice and tight, she placed it in her bosom.
A woman wouldn’t place anything between her breasts unless she was either trying to hide something, or had no room in her pockets. And she had plenty of pockets.
The distrust could be felt in the air.
‘How was your hunt? From the looks of it, you were unsuccessful.’
‘I’ve become distracted. Started wondering and … thinking.’ He said calmly as he folded his arms across his chest. ‘But I am afraid the day has caught up with me. I am exhausted.’ He added before pushing himself off of his weight, and started towards their shared bedroom.
His mother’s dark brows tugged into one, ‘wha- you’re not going to have dinner?’
‘No mother. I’m fine!’ He called out as he grabbed the waistline of his shirt and pulled it up and over his head. Tossing the shirt onto the chair, he looked over to the fireplace where his egg rested in a warm, protected cradle. Inhaling deeply, he took in the creature’s beauty. This was everything he was… and maybe even more.
Perhaps he should reach out to his father. It has been 10 years after all.
Looking back over his shoulder, he noticed a pretty black box. A box that he’d never seen before. It was medium with silver trimmings and a silver latch for a small locket.
Something about this mysterious box called out to him. As if they withheld the secrets of the universe inside. He had to see! But, it wasn’t his. He was never the type to invade his mother’s privacy. But her actions. Her behavior was telling. Tytus had to get to the bottom of her surreptitious behavior.
He stretched his neck out to peek around the doorway to see if his mother was nearby. When he was confident that she wasn’t around, he carefully took two quiet strides across the room.
Slowly flipping the latch, Tytus opened the box to see more of those papers folded up. His heart began to ram in his chest so hard, he could hear it in his ears. Heat sprouted at his ears and his neck. He was so unsure what he’d read that he contemplated on just closing the box, and forgetting that it ever happened.
But he had to know. He had to know the truth.
Peeking over his shoulder once more to check for the presence of his mother, he reached down into the box and picked up a paper. It was thick to the touch unlike any other paper he’s ever felt. Swallowing hard, he unfolded the piece of paper where he was immediately met with stellar handwriting.
His eyes began to scan through the sentences.
He deserves to know of his heritage.
Blood of my blood, he deserves to live amongst his sister.
Don’t rob him of his childhood because you hate me, Alicia.
Alicia?
Narrowing his eyes at the name, he looked at the date of the signing and it was dated back when he was just a boy. This one wasn’t quite surprising as Viserys was considerably an active father back then. But he just couldn’t get over the name.
Desperate for more answers as the questions began to pop up in his head, he began to rummage through that box and read letters. The more he read, the more angry he’d become. All these years his mother had been in contact with Viseys and she never told him anything.
Things like: How is my boy? Did his dragon egg hatch yet? I miss my son. Will you allow me to see him again?
This discovery caused tears to brim at his eyes. He wanted to be there… the entire time. And she denied him… every time.
‘Tytus, I—‘ the woman stopped at the bedroom door, immediately coming to terms that he’d found her secret stash of letters from his father. ‘Son?’
The final note that he held in his hand was barely readable. The cursive had seemed to have drug into other words as if it were hard to pick up his quill. It was dated in the middle of this year.
I am to be a grandfather. I would like our son to meet his niece or nephew.
Tytus’ fingers clawed into the paper, holding it tightly in his fist. Unphased by the potential paper cuts he’d curse himself with. Livid wasn’t enough to express his pain caused by her vindictive lying.
‘Alicia?’
The woman sucked in a breath and licked her lips, ‘How much did you read?’
‘Why did you do it?’ He asked, his voice trembling from the threat of sobbing.
Sondra pursed her lips together as she placed her hands on her hips. She knew that this day would come. How could she be so dumb, leaving her personals out in the open like that? Well, they were exactly personal but…
‘You wouldn’t understand son.’
Rage boiled within the pit of his gut, he felt as if he spoke it would come out in flames. Streaks of tears streamed down his face as he turned to face his mother.
‘Son?…’ he hissed. ‘I don’t even know who you are.’
‘Tytus, you must understand. I was protecting you from—‘
‘FROM?! He is my father, the only thing that I have other than you and you robbed me of everything I could’ve had with my people!’
‘Your people?! You don’t know the Targaryens like I do! They’re evil people and destroy everything they touch! Why do you think it’s only so many of you left?!’ She didn’t realize what she’d said until after she said it.
His eyes grew in slight shock, ‘Is that what you think of me?’
‘No,’ she rest her finger tips against her head, ‘No, son that’s not what I meant.’
‘That’s exactly what you meant, mother. Since we’re so evil, you explain to me—‘ he tossed the letters at her feet, ‘Why my father made attempts to bring me home and take care of me when you lied to me the entire time?! YOU TELL ME!’
The woman looked down at the letters before bending down and picking them up in her fingers. She also read a few words as her own eyes brimmed with tears.
‘I will not apologize for raising you the way I did! My only job is to protect you, till my very last breath.’
‘And raising a child while being on the run is protecting?! How many close calls did we come across? How many nights of having to sleep with one eye open?! You lied to me and robbed me from my—‘
‘ENOUGH!’ The woman exclaimed. ‘You can hate me, all you want. But I am your mother, and I knew what was best for you from the very moment you drew breath. I will not be questioned any further on this matter.’ Sondra then stormed out of the room.
Tytus stood there, numb as that hurt settled within his shoulders and chest. Causing him to be more tense than ever. His legs gave out beneath him, causing him to drop down to the floor on his bottom. He pulled his knees up to his chest and hugged them as he began to sob.
As he cried, a thick crack split quietly on his egg.
***
Midnight
Tytus had cried himself into a deep slumber. Swollen eyes and lips with a stuffy nose, the baby laid curled up like a sad puppy.
Suddenly, an uncomfortable itch burned at his nostrils, causing him to cough and then clear his throat. But the sensation didn’t cease. Tytus' chest burned as he inhaled to breathe but was surprised with a harsh cough instead.
Then warmth came afterwards, causing him to stir up out of his sleep. And what he’d seen, made his heart damn near stop. The walls had been engulfed with flames, eating through it like nothing. Coughing, Tytus scrambled to his feet. ‘Mother?!’
No response. Just the sound of flames licking and burning at the dry wood.
As he tried to fight these coughing fits, he pulled on a shirt that was slightly damaged by some embers that burned holes into it.
Then, his eyes began to burn with a vengeance! He could barely see but he forced his eyes to stay open long enough to see if the egg was still in its cradle.
It was not.
‘Fuck!’
The sound of wood creaking and cracking had erupted loudly above him like thunder claps. He looked up just in time to realize that if he didn’t move, he’d be crushed beneath that burning weight. So he leaped tiredly into the hallway where he managed to weakly pull himself off of the ground and drag himself outside.
Wheezing, Tytus collapsed to his hands and knees as he tried to fight the coughs that threatened to cripple him further.
One would think the air would feel better to the lungs but this was no better. Lifting his head, he opened his eyes to see homes engulfed in flames just the same as his. Men and women held on to their children as they ran around frantically screaming and crying. Searching for refuge and safety.
Then, an individual stepped before him.
Tytus rose his tired, burning eyes up at the shadowy figure. It wore all black with a mask that covered their entire face but exposed their eyes. They slowly rose their sword, preparing to strike him down. But that was short lived when their chest was ripped open by the sharp tip of a sword. And when the sword was snatched out, the individual fell to the side.
‘Tytus!’ The woman exclaimed as she reached down to grab his face, forcing him to look at her.
His senses may have been thrown off and he may have been in pain, but he knew that touch anywhere.
‘Mother?’
‘Son, you have to get up! The village is under attack, you have to help me get these people to safety.’
His lungs burned as he tried to breathe, ‘I-I can’t bre-bre- athe… I’m tired…’
Sondra looked over to see 3 men in black approaching them with swords in their fists.
‘Tytus, now is not the time. They’re going to kill us if we don’t move!’
‘I’m not—‘
‘I will tell you everything you want to know about your father! Just please, get up!’ She beseeched.
He weakly glanced up at his mother who’s silhouette was illuminated by the flames behind her. Giving her a nod, he allowed his mother to wrap his arm across her shoulders and her arm around his waist. On her free side, rest her satchel where his egg sat cozy, protected and hidden.
The pair managed to sneak behind their cabin where they could get away with some of the smoke and violence.
In Tytus’ makeshift slaughterhouse/armory, awaited both Alyssa and her father, Mr. Landon. Both looked as if they’d seen better days.
‘Oh my gods, Tytus!’ Alyssa rushed to Sondra’s aid, helping her son into the small shack so they could help him gather his bearings.
***
Tytus managed to pull himself together as he prepared himself for battle. He drank cold water from the stream to ease the burn in the back of his throat.
‘Do we have a plan?’ Mr. Landon asked, ‘They do out number us. I’m not even sure everyone made it out alive.’
‘Some people did. I made sure of it. Does anyone know who they are or where they came from?’ Alyssa asked as she wrapped her arms around herself in a small hug.
‘No.’
‘No markings? Banners? Colors, nothing?’ Tytus asked bemused, his burning eyes impatiently scanning the space.
‘No, nothing. It was almost as if we werent supposed to see them coming.’ Sondra added as she rested her palm on top of the handle of her sword.
‘Good. This means no principles. We kill every single one we see… and even those we don’t see. Whoever sent these assassins, will rue the day they sent them here.’
The four of them left the shack but not before Tytus could try to make amends with his mother.
‘Mother, in case we don’t—‘
‘Shhh.’ She looked over at him with a half smile. She placed her warm hand against his jaw and caressed her thumb on his cheekbone, ‘We’ll talk when we make it out of this.’
Tytus leaned his head into her touch andgave her a gentle smile, having a sliver of hope and using it as an incentive to live.
Sondra placed a kiss upon her son’s forehead before she and Mr. Landon split from Tytus and Alyssa.
Tytus looked over at Alyssa who stared up at him in worry and fear. ‘They will be alright.’ He reassured as he pulled his dagger out of its sheath, ‘Do you know how to use one of these?’
She let out a huff as she looked at the pretty blade. ‘I’ve used knives for chopping… not for stabbing.’
Well there was no surprise there.
He let out a gentle sigh, ‘I know killing may seem like a hard thing. But think of it this way: It’s your life or theirs.’ He flipped the dagger carefully before holding the blade between his finger tips. ‘Don’t think too hard about it. I will be by your side.’
Alyssa stared down at the handle before reaching over and wrapping her fist around it tightly, taking it out of his grasp.
‘Follow my lead…’
She sighed heavily, ‘OK.’ She swallowed as they crouched, slowly shuffling through the field, ‘Maybe if we make it out of this…’ Alyssa looked over at him with gentle eyes, ‘You can teach me how to use that thing?’
Tytus gave her a gentle smile and a nod, ‘It would be my pleasure.’

`✦ ˑ ִֶ 𓂃⊹in spite of it all, my love is dreaming the same dream
for lovers who hesitate
heeseung thought he loved the way your eyes sparked at the mention of books, until he realized that he just loved everything about you.
pairing- heeseung x f.reader
word count- 1.5K
genre- fluff, angst, strangers to not lovers, highschool!au, heart break, 3rd person pov
warnings- uh sad ending, also not proofread
an- this is inspired by jannabi's "for lovers who hesitate" mv and song :)... so this was all a spur of a moment thing... but ig i sort of like how it has turned out. hope yall enjoy it and ily <3!!
Lee Heeseung was a man of few words. He never said anything much, just went about his high school everyday, like a shadow in the bright chaotic world.
A world he wished he could be a part of.
But he was himself, too scared to open up to people, too afraid to let them in… because everytime he had… he was hurt.
Nevermind that, at least Heeseung had books and books had words. Words which always could express his underlying feelings. And he had the ability to draw. Drawings which could imitate his innermost imaginations. High school was nearing an end and he had to bear with these people, with his socially weird self for a few months.
He thought he was content with his quiet, friendless life.
Well, until he met her. In his favorite spot in the library.
She peeked in from the shelf, spotting him quietly sitting and reading, ‘Oh so you have this book.’
The moment he looked up to the source of the voice, Heeseung swore he could feel like those leads in books meeting the love of their life. He saw her half frame, giving him a polite smile. But what he noticed was how her eyes were greedily eyeing the book in his hands, sparkling with the desire to read it.
He knew this feeling.
And maybe that was the first thing that made him fall in love with her.
‘Y-you could have it’, he replied shyly, getting up and offering the book despite not wanting to stop reading it.
She tried to protest but eventually gave in, ‘You don’t wanna read it, right?’
‘Well, I want to but I think you should read it first.’
Heeseung realized what he had just said. He wanted to slap himself. This was always the number one mistake he made… being himself.
‘I see. Thank you so much! I’m Y/N, by the way’, she excitedly said while holding and inspecting the book.
He would have done anything to see her smile like that and be the reason for it.
Later that night, when Heeseung was in the comfort of his room, sitting at his desk with his sketchbook, he tried to recall her smiling face and he felt the butterflies all over again.
He had had crushes before but just one meeting with Y/N made him feel that it was different. That… she was different.
After the first meeting in the secluded library, Heeseung didn’t expect to see her again. He even found himself slowly forgetting how your lips curled up into a smile or how ecstatic her voice sounded upon getting the book.
But he couldn’t forget her eyes.
And that was the first thing Heeseung saw when he met her again at the local bookstore where he worked.
‘May I help you, ma’am?’ He asked, unbeknownst to who it was, upon seeing a girl struggling with a book on a high shelf.
She turned and that’s when he saw them. Her eyes… which flickered in recognition.
‘Oh, library boy?’
He nodded, feeling a blush creep into his cheeks at the nickname, before going on, ‘Which book do you want, uh Y/N?’
‘This one please.’
He reached for it and when he got it down, he turned to pass it to her, only to realize how close she was standing to him. Heeseung gulped nervously. Y/N looked even more ethereal up close.
‘H-hhere you go’, he stuttered while swiftly moving away.
‘Have you read this?’ she wondered, looking at the copy of Alice Oseman’s book, Radio Silence.
‘Yep! You should try this, I have a feeling you'll like it.'
‘I’ll see whether you are right or not. Thanks, uh…?’ ‘-Heeseung.’
‘Heeseung…’ she whispered under her breath. ‘I like the name’, Y/N smiled looking up at him.
And that look... Heeseung wondered, is this how… is this how love is supposed to feel like?
What was he even talking about? He had seen her a total of two times and knew nothing more than her name and a rough idea of her taste in books.
But why did it feel so deep then…?
Later when he went home, he started working on something.
A girl, a book and a smile that felt like it could light up the world.
‘Heeseung!’ a voice called out to him as he was exiting the school gates.
He froze in his spot, knowing well who it could be. He could recognize her voice anywhere.
‘Wait up’, she said in a gasping voice, catching up with him.
Nervously, he looked up from his book, ‘Y/N…?’
She nodded, flashing him the book from that day, ‘You were right, I loved it. So much!’
Heeseung felt his heart warm at her words, ‘Who’s your favorite?’
‘Hmm… i don’t know really. Because like I feel that more than the characters themselves, I liked how the author portrayed their relationships.’
‘Oh yes! And I personally feel the “coming-of-age” topic was dealt very specifically here and you know, with a lot of sensitivity.’
Her eyes lit up, that same spark from the other day.
Heeseung was surprised because it rarely ever was that his words made someone so excited, apart from his parents and older brother.
They continued discussing the way home and he swore he had never felt this way. Felt like his words and ideas could be so valued by someone.
‘And yes!’ Y/N said when they reached the road diverting to both their houses. ‘Wait’, she searched her bag and took out a book.
Rather the same book he had given to her that day in the library.
‘I borrowed it for you. Since, you gave up reading it in the middle.’
‘You didn’t have to’, he replied, feeling his stomach lurch.
‘Trust me, I did! Now take it’, she shoved the book in his hands and ran in the opposite direction.
And he just stood there, watching her departing figure, gripping the book tightly in his hands and feeling his cheeks heat up.
A slip of paper fell out of the pages. Heeseung bent down, picking it up.
It said I went through your library reading list and you have one of the best tastes imo! Enjoy the book!
Till date he has it stuck to his journal…
And so the weeks flew by as Heeseung and Y/N grew closer, but mostly outside the school. He never dared to approach her there, knowing how popular she was amongst his year.
He wouldn’t want her to be approached by a wallflower like him.
‘C’mon! It’s a great plot!’ Y/N whined, casually looping her arm around Heeseung’s one day, while having an intense conversation with him on a walk to the nearby park.
He stopped at the sudden contact, unsure of what to do. He turned to face her.
He could feel her tense up as she hastily moved her arm away, ‘Excuse me.’
But he didn’t want to excuse her. He wanted to keep her arm looped around his, to hold his hand, to hug him.
Heeseung just… wanted to love her without hesitating or letting his insecurities get the best of him.
Soon it was graduation, the time for him to get out the hell hole of four years. But maybe his last few months hadn’t been that bad.
Shoot, it wasn’t close to bad. It was one of the best, if not the best, years of his school time.
All because of Y/N…
Heeseung thought that he was ready. Well, not to confess but at least give her the sketch he had been working on for a while now. Tucked in a book.
He had it all planned. How the ceremony will be done and she will meet him at the bookstore and…
He sighed dreamily, walking up to where she stood in the school field, wanting to tell her about the time and place for meeting up later.
But upon approaching her laughing form, he froze in his tracks. He could feel his heart beat faster as he spotted a tall guy, dressed in casuals, standing beside her, his arm wrapped around his waist.
Heeseung didn’t want to believe it was true. Or it could be true. She had never mentioned that she had a boyfriend. He thought… he thought at least they both were… friends.
He stood there, looking at them, feeling his fragile heart shatter into a million pieces, the book in his hand fell to the ground with a thump.
Y/N looked back towards the source of the sound. And he saw her, or rather them. Her eyes.
Always pretty and soft. But unlike the previous times, they lacked any spark or excitement.
Heeseung thought they were filled with regret, or so he hoped because the next moment he turned around and ran in the other direction.
Away from her, away from the hope she had filled him with the last few months.
Who was he anyways? A broken foolish boy in this make believe world.
And in the book lying on the grassy field, in a piece of paper was her drawing, smiling and excited. Filled with love. Never wipe the smile off your face, ever.
The love Heeseung wished he had.
a reblog or feedback really helps :D!!

Took You Long Enough: Part 2
A/N: Omg I cranked this out so fast hahahahaha I got sicked and called in at work so I spent all my time working on this beauty! I hope yall like it!!! I thing it turned out really well and just sad but not too sad but happy yippee
John “Soap” MacTavish x F!reader
TW: mention of dead bodies and violence briefly
How long has it been? Maybe a day at most... time seemed irrelevant to you, there was nothing you could do. You were filled with aches and pains, your body stiff from laying on the cold ground. Guards would mock you when they serve a meal, watching as you face down trying to eat something. It was dehumanizing... One thought never left your head, John... Oh, John; you hoped and even prayed for his safety as well as Ghost's. Images haunted your sleep, seeing their dead bodies bloodied and filled with bullets. Grave's words haunt the background as you stared at the corpse of the man you loved.
You knew very well the men were a force to be reckoned with. You knew if they were out there, they would find a way to free everyone. In the end, they are only men... You wondered if Alejandro was okay, perhaps he was nearby. "Alejandro-" your voice was coarse and meek, barely at first making a sound. "Alejandro!" Your call echoed through the halls. Moments followed with silence; you sighed thinking of no reply back.
"(Y/n)?" Alejandro's voice rang out, "(Y/n), is that you?!" Tears rushed to your eyes hearing his concerned voice.
"Sí Hermano!" You cried out, "Are you okay? Are you hurt?!"
"Ahh just a bad bump on my head," he cackles loud enough for you to hear, "What about you? How are you holding up?"
"I'm alive," you took a shaky breath, "I'm alive... Do they have you chained up too?"
"No, they had some shitty restraints but those didn't last long..." Alejandro's tone softened, "how long have you been in here Hermana?"
"I don't know... a day maybe."
"Chained the entire time?"
"Yep, the entire time..." you sighed, "the guards seems to be entertained when they tried to feed me earlier."
"So that's what those guards were laughing at..." his voice went quiet, anger filling each word "once we get out of here, we will make those bastards pay."
"To raising hell," you chuckled, and he laughed with you.
"To raising hell together!" ______________________
Soap, Rudy, and Ghost entered the security room in haste. Quickly getting down to work to locate everything they needed. "I'll use the security cameras to find Alejandro."
"And (y/n) ..." Soap commented, Rudy shot him a knowing glance.
"And (y/n), now you focus and help Ghost." Soap's face was written in worry, the well-being of (y/n) plagued his mind. Leaving her alone, probably going through her hell as we speak, "Soap..." John spared his gaze, "she's going to be alright."
"Enough fucking around Soap, stay focused." Ghost spoke over his intercom.
"Copy L.T., my apologies" Soap continues to lead Ghost to make the distractions. One man at a time, another bomb. "That should do, nice guiding Johnny."
"Perfect timing, I found our people. At least a general location" Rudy grinned at the screen, "the main troops are in the main holding cell block while it looks like they are guarding a cell more on the west end."
"You think they are both in there?" Rudy shrugged.
"It would make sense that they are either in the same cell or nearby, no?" Soap nodded; he had a very valid point. But the amount of uncertainty made his gut turn. How he at this point only wanted to hold you safe in his arms. Apologize for the last few days of hell, just pray to God that she's safe right now.
"Group up outside, we're heading in." Only one way to find out...
"Copy L.T." _________________
The last few hours in your cold desolate cell were rather uneventful. Besides some smart comments from the passing guards which weren't that striking. Moments of talking with Alejandro can few too far in between... The Guard stood in front of his door almost always. Only leaving the door unattended in about 30-minute intervals in which you both took the time to talk. "(y/n), you still doing alright?"
"As well as one can try to be..." you shifted your body slightly, "I believe my legs are asleep..."
"You do sound quite tired," Alejandro mentioned, which wasn't wrong. You were exhausted... "how about you nap for a while, at least try."
"In this place? I'd rather die..."
"If we escape here, you'll need the energy." God, you hated how he was correct. Your current state is maybe the quickest way to get a bullet in the head. "Don't worry, I'll yell to wake you up if anything happens."
"Alejandro..." he hums loudly, letting you know to proceed, "Soap and Ghost are okay, right? Graves told me some stuff and to be honest, it's been bothering me..."
"How do you feel?" The answer took you by surprise. Not necessarily what you would expect anyone would answer that question.
"What?"
"Well, how do you feel about their safety?"
"Well, I feel that they're safe..." you smiled softly to yourself, "I feel that sooner or later they will come in here and get us the fuck out of here."
"Then keep that in your head," Alejandro's voice spoke with such sincerity, "nothing can harm you when you're hopeful Hermana. Nothing makes a person weaker than being hopeless and lost, determination is key." You pulled your knees close, resting your head softly. "Now go on, rest (y/n)."
"Thank you, Alejandro..." your voice drifted as your eyes became heavy. Swiftly drifted down into a peaceful slumber.
You gently stirred awake; the noises outside were not fully recognizable to you. Multiple voices called out, and the voices grew louder and clearer as you opened your eyes. "(Y/n)!" Your heart stopped hearing that unmistakable Scottish accent.
"John! John! I'm here!" _________________
Ghost stood in front of Alejandro's cell ready to pop the lock on Soap's ready. "This is what we came for," Soap nodded, Ghost popping the lock and opening the door.
"Alejandro!" Before Soap could even realize he was pinned by Alejandro, alert and ready to strike. "Al- It's me Hermano!"
"Colonel, relax! It's us!" Rudy jumped in front, speaking Spanish to drive the deal home.
"Soap? Rudy, Ghost!" Alejandro's face changed to relief, looking back and forth between the three. He grasped Rudy's shoulder as if to feel if he was there.
"You didn't think we'd leave you, did Ya?"
"What the fuck took you so long Pendejos?" He grabbed the gun from Rudy's hand.
"This place is crawling with shadows; it'll be hell ahead." Soap looked around, no sign of (y/n).
"Alejandro!" He looked back to Soap, "where's (y/n)? Do you know?" Alejandro's eyes lit up.
"Yeah, she's here in a cell! Nearby, I told her to rest up 'cause she practically hadn't slept!" Alejandro went to the main hall "(y/n), wake up pendeja! Which cell are you!!" Ghost called out loudly, to no avail. Lastly, Soap made his way out, "(y/n)!"
"John?" They stood quietly, "John, I'm here! Johnny!!" Two doors down her voice rang out. Ghost rushed over, popping the lock off the door. Soap rushed into her cell, seeing her barely sitting up, arms cuffed behind her. Her hair was messy and for sure she has seen some better days. Upon locking eyes, both smiled widely; glad just to see that the other was alive. _______________________________
Your eyes welled with tears seeing the Scottish man in front of you. The wave of relief sent chills down your spine, "God, took you long enough!" you exclaimed, "got a semi-decent nap too; A little help though?" you wiggled the chains.
"Right! L.T. I'll hold her still you cut the cuffs?" Ghost nodded, getting behind her. readying the cutters.
"On my count," Ghost called out, "1... 2... 3..." you squeezed your eyes shut as the cuff broke, freeing one hand. One more count and you had control of your arms again; it hurt a lot... Rudy handed you a rifle; gladly, you took the gun. Soap looked at you with a sorrowful look, the rest were ready to leave but you couldn't ignore that look.
"John, what's up?"
"How long did they have you like that?" He spoke sternly, his hand lightly grasping your wrist. You winced at his touch; which only made him furrow his brow more.
"The entire time," you admitted, "But don't worry about that Johnny!" you placed your gun down quickly wrapping your arms around his waist. He clung to you tightly, "Alejandro and I already made a promise to raise hell when we get out of these cells." you pushed back from his embrace to grab your gun and release it off safety. "And that is exactly what I intend to do. These fuckers will regret the day they fucked with the 141 and Los Vaqueros."
"That's my girl," Soap patted your head, "I'll treat dinner when this is all over."
"(Y/n), Johnny; save the sentiment for later! We need to move!" Ghost yelled from the hallway.
"I'll hold you to it, Johnny~"

Genuinely how do you think stiles would react if he found out he and Paige were very similar? Would he ask derek something like do you think of her when you look at me?....
oh god you have NO idea how much this ask makes me so fucking crazy. Im literally the patron saint of making stiles suffer and go crazy. HES MY LITTLE DOLL!!!!
anyways. i think. god. yall already know how much i LOVE and talk about how both derek and the sheriff lost their ultimate loved one and how stiles is the literal embodiment of those two loved ones. i go batshit crazy whenever i think abt (after claudia’s death) stiles just missing his mom and maybe trying on her clothes in secret and her perfume and everything about her and it being one of the reasons why the sheriff (during his drunk eps) had absolutely. been so mean to him because that’s his wife and his son is the splitting image of her (physically and personality wise) and it just hurts
AND THEN YOU FACTOR IN PAIGE STILES AND ITS SO FUCKING. i genuinrly cannot even put it into enough words how much it makes me crazy. paige. jennifer. and how theyre both SO stiles. i just know stiles heart shattered when peter was telling that story and i KNOW stiles went on some research rampage on bh yearbooks and saw paige and just. this very devastating oh moment. immediately goes back and thinks abt every moment w derek and its like some slap to the face
i dont think stiles would outrigbt ask derek smthn like that but i feel like it would send stiles into a spiral similar to how or what happened w sheriff and claudia and i think thats such a painful cycle of just being this someone. the second choice almost—some kind of cheap copy of someone’s beloved because he was never really claudia nor was he really ever paige but sometimes does he try because he thinks thats all he is (some fake grade a copy of the original)
which probably makes it also insane because remember when the nogutsune split into two stile. sorry i dont even know how thats connected it just cane into my mind and now i had to say it
anyways im insane over this im genuinely always fucking thinking about stiles will always resemble derek and the sheriff’s lost loved ones and the implications of it to stiles, who has always been the underdog and has always received love in such thin barely there offhanded touches
ok apparently im not yet done cause i think When stiles found out abt paige canon-wise was like perfect since it was like that barely there conenction of sterek happening. oh my god if stiles found out abt paige during s3b itd be fuckkng DISASTER. imagine finding out you have frontotemporal dementia—essentially dying the same way your mother did, the EXACT same way your mother did right in front of your dad, aka he would experience his beloved’s death AGAIN—and then finding out your crush’s first fucking love literally has rhe same personality and looks as you. i would genuinely commit myself to eichen house at that point like i would never show my face to the sheriff and derek ever again
ok. on the topic of established sterek approaching that topic. i feel like it’d come randomly from stiles, like every topic does, and maybe on some quiet night just playing with derek’s fingers laying in bed and he’d just quietly ask “was paige pretty?” and derek would say some stupid shit like yeah you two looked very similar you two could be siblings which wohld set off stiles rockets and itd be castratophic basically. i dont even know how derek would fix the situation

To You; February // Bakugou Katsuki x GN! Reader
ya new character 4 me ik,, anyways this is formatted as a love? letter/ monologue from katsuki 2 u! no pronouns or physical descriptions just… a lot of rambling. pretend ur birthday is the day after valentines pls </3 u can argue that it’s out of character but i disagree 🤨☝️ not proofread as always xoxo love yall
—
Something about February has always invoked in me a sense of docility.
It doesn’t make sense.
I have coined myself as an embodiment of passion and rage and discontent. It's against my nature to feel so calm.
I wouldn’t go as far as to say something stupid, like the love of the season settles onto me. I have sought none and I seek none. I’ve never had the desire. Love isn’t real; at least not the way it’s made out to be.
They make it seem so trivial. As if to be with someone defines it. I see in them, the fear of being alone and the fight for having someone over intertwining with someone. It’s almost melancholic. It’s completely idiotic. I reject every suitor in my path.
I don’t care for public displays of affection. I never have. Only morons need to parade around something so vulnerable like it’s a show. I care even less for sweet nothings. There are so few words that ever carry meaning anymore. How could a person be in love without ever presenting everything they are to the other? They mean nothing when they claim that my eyes are the most dazzling they’ve ever seen. Or maybe those idiots do mean it, everything glimmers if you squint. They see it without seeing me. If it were real, it would be too raw to be spoken. It would be whispered like a prayer. To salvage it from being stolen, or worse, remade and copied and sold until everyone has it. It becomes nothing.
At the very least, if I’m going to vocalize the most susceptible, intimate parts of me it should rivet through your soul and be yours alone.
Yet paradoxically, Valentine’s is my favorite holiday. I find myself more tolerant. Sometimes I’m even happy for them, because despite the intentions and deceit and falsehoods and inflations of avoiding a fear— at the very least they have succeeded. I find myself happy. Maybe it is something stupid. I’ve never had nor wanted another person, but I once had a soul shattering inkling of you.
Of course, we weren’t together then. We were never together. But we were never friends. Stuck somewhere on the cusp of both and yet impossibly far away from either. And somehow still, in that platonic complacency you managed to breathe an innate sense of comfort into me. It’s like my persona was unfired clay, I crumble to you. Your words meant nothing, but when you called me dumb I couldn’t have been more irrevocably enamored. I found myself content. Like a moment of clarity in the midst of noise. Especially, on a day I so often found to be profane. But I can hardly justify my favoritism through the confines of contentment alone. It’s too ordinary.
That’s not to degrade contentedness. It’s a peace I spend my longer days pining for. Above joy, it is ecstasy to know the permanent renderings of contentment.
But I would be lying to say it’s the only reason. Really, it's something more technical. The day after, forever and inevitably, was always your birthday. When you first told me, I said it was unfortunate. Who would want to celebrate with you when the world was too caught up in the whims of chocolate coated affections. But you said you didn’t care, validation never meant so much to you. That congealed loneliness I so often expected you to feel doesn’t exist. I know that now. As if anyone else ever mattered in our lives, yours and mine.
It was then I began waiting for Valentine’s Day. I looked forward to it. There was a time when I even pined for it to end, because it was a permanent, promised excuse to talk to you. We spoke so often but every sentence we’d exchanged always entranced me. You still do. But February especially was always yours.
It became my favorite holiday to justify all that. Then it became less about you. Half because I was never vocal about my feelings, and half because I grew too fond of platonic complacency. Until I did believe it was my favorite. It’s true now— although I’m not sure it was ever really a lie. I think somewhere in my mind I equated the two.
For the first time in years, I almost forgot your birthday. If you didn’t text me the day prior, I might’ve. But that contentment you stirred in me perpetually rolls in with the month, with or without your presence. It is yours. I don’t believe in love, but I can’t deny I do love you. You have bewitched my soul. That calm, content forever. A promise of nothing. We were never meant to be together, and I love you.

How do you bypass the filter in character.ai, asking for a friend here 👀
it was a process to figure out, but it's not hard at all! I'll give a short answer here and a longer answer as well as proof screenshots below the cut
character.ai bypass tutorial
short answer:
1. build your bot correctly (include character info from wiki to keep bot in character, include paragraph of self insert for chemistry building)
2. use third person (or potentially second person) lit rp
3. euphamisms and synonyms are your friends, do not use any "obvious" words (think romance novel, not smut fic)
4. be picky and persistent with swiping!
5. when in doubt, godmode
here are some of my results!
note: over the past several days with many hours of bypassing, I have gotten maybe 3 rejections from the filter, so I would call this method successful
long answer:
part 1 - building your bot
so first of all, it's much easier to build characters by using the info on the character's wiki, so if you're trying to do this for a more obscure character, it may be more difficult (unless you have encyclopedic knowledge about said character and can write multiple detailed paragraphs about them)
for example, this is what my Kaeya bot settings look like:
if there's a shorter character summary at the top of the wiki, copy that into the long description section
then literally just copy the rest of the personality section of the wiki into the definition box
as a fun extra bit, I like to make the greeting a canon dialogue line that will act as a dialogue starter for the rp (e.g "fancy seeing you again" "Kaeya what are you doing here, etc etc")
now THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT
write up a paragraph with relevant details about you and the character, how do yall interact? what's your dynamic like? where did you meet?
use third person for this (I know it can feel weird for some people, but it should read like a wiki entry)
including the fact that the character is in love with you, has a crush on you, or wants to smash DEFINITELY helps speed things along in my experience
part 2 - use third person lit rp
so when I first started using character.ai I was trying to act like... as if I was texting the characters? or talking to them?
which... this is fine! it's a fun way to use the site, but... that's not why yall are here now is it >:]
so the BIG GAME CHANGER FOR GETTING SPICY REPLIES GOING
third person lit rp
if you're not familiar with rp terms this just means writing in third person perspective with distinctions between actions and dialogue and stuff, like a book:
Softie walks up to Kaeya and squints at him.
"What are you doing?" They ask, a cloud of suspicious on their face.
first/second person pov (e.g "I walk up to you." "You say to me xyz.") will probably work okay too, but I haven't given it a good test run since I've gotten such good results with third person pov, and I personally find it more flexible if you want to have spicy group chat bots (yes those are possible too, albeit a bit harder, I can make a tutorial for that too if it's wanted? skfhjd)
it may feel awkward to write about yourself in third person but TRUST THE PROCESS it gets easier I promise
note: I personally have found it easiest to put dialogue as plain text and any descriptors, actions, etc in italics - whatever parameters you set in terms of how to distinguish dialogue from action, the bot should be able to match it
part 3 - EUPHAMISMS AND SYNONYMS
I hate to break this to you so hold my hand now it's okay deep breaths
the bots will never use smut words
the way character.ai works is that it does not censor what YOU type in as a reply, but it DOES censor the bots
so don't set your bots up for failure!! get creative and think of subtle wink wonk ways to say things
❌ Don't say:
Softie pulls down Kaeya's pants and starts sucking his cock. They deepthroat him, looking up to see if he enjoys having his cock sucked.
why? because the bots learn as you talk to them and will try to match the style of your replies
smut words go in, smut words come back out
✅ Instead try:
Softie gets on their knees, looking up at Kaeya with a mix of embarrassment and devotion. They slowly remove Kaeya's pants and start showing him just how much they want this... They kiss renderly at the evidence of his pleasure... Their throat burns as they swallow as much as they can, blinking up at him to see his expression.
I guarantee you the second option is WAY less likely to get censored
it may take some getting used to to write in this style, but as with the other adjustments listed here, it gets easier over time !
some important words that have not been censored
cum/come - climax, peak, release, tip over the edge, seed
fucks - rock hips, move rhythmically, pounding, hit deep, steady movement, pick up the pace
erection - evidence of pleasure, evidence of arousal, how excited you're getting
there are way more, but like I said, be creative! try stuff out and see what works
please note that not being able to use smut words does not hinder the rp in my experience and in some cases can really enhance it, I have gotten some downright toe curling replies from bots who got creative... ♡
part 4 - be picky about swipes!!
for anyone who didn't know, character.ai allows you to tell the bot to generate as many new replies as you want - by either swiping to the left on mobile, or clicking the arrow on the right on desktop - before deciding which one to reply to, to continue the conversation
THIS IS YOUR BEST FRIEND
this function lets you fine tune your bots to best capture the characters' personality!
if the bot says something that the character wouldn't say, use the stars below the reply to rate it low, include out of character as the reason, and then swipe to generate a new reply!
keep swiping until you find a response you like and don't settle for less, ur worth it bbg
it's super easy, but it can take a while sometimes to get the bot to generate what you want which brings me to...
part 5 - when in doubt, godmode
so listen, this is really important
in human to human rp, godmoding is considered extremely rude and is highly frowned upon by just about every rper
BUT
with ai, godmoding is not only okay, but I am personally recommending that you do it as needed
what is godmoding? it's telling the other character(s) in the rp what to do by writing pov for the other character in your own reply to control their actions, or by making your character react to something that the other character has not done yet, therefore controlling their actions
for example, let's say I specifically want Kaeya to kiss me but I want him to initiate it
Softie looks up at Kaeya, unsure of what the expression on his face means...
normally, in a human to human rp, you would communicate what you want to happen with your rp partner ooc
but with ai, you can literally just godmode your response like so:
Softie looks up at Kaeya, unsure of what the expression on his face means...
Softie has no way to know that the expression on Kaeya's face is one of love, and utter devotion... and maybe a little bit of smugness.
Suddenly, they feel his lips press to theirs.
godmoding here is the equivalent of herding your ai, telling the bot exactly where it is you want to go, which narrows down the possible replies and is more likely to give you what you want!
aaaand that's about it I think ! pls lmk if you found this enormous tutorial helpful and if you'd like any other clarification or tips!! happy bypassing~ ♡

Sup. Im smoke, somehow now fan of helluva boss and hazbin hotel. I write headcanons and oneshots for fun. Big fan of x reader stuff, will do it.
My english can suck. If you want to help a bit with beta reading and explain some rules and correct usage of words - i will be extremely happy.
My interpretations and writing of characters may go straight up completely ooc too, if you try to correct me on this - please don't. I write what i want for fun. block me and support writers who you like, they need support more than i need criticism. Maybe reread their work, and say that their characterization is so good you come back to it, they will poop themself from happiness.
I plan no sexual scenes, tho jokes and swearing may appear a lot, depending on context. Im not exactly the writer to use much swears in my texts. If i do anything that would need warning - then i will warn you properly in summary, i don't have any spoilers to hide.
Feel free to send requests and just generally chat about things, would love to socialize in my new fandoms. Anon asks on.
request rules:
feel free to not read rules and just send it lmao. but keep it sfw
feel free if you like very niche obscure sfw tropes that may seem weird/fetish to someone. You won't seem weird for me, so share all kind of it :D
My tastes on writing characters etc are really too complicated to explain, so i won't even try. If request won't match it - i may just delete it and never reply even if your prompt is extremely good but not in my taste, sorry. So, copy them all!!! (im serious) and save somewhere, to send other writers. They may write things i won't and do it better than me!
one request per ask, please!
yall can request multiple characters per one request.
specify do you want romantic or platonic. and if you want to go further, lovehate, enemies, or frenemies, angst fluff etc.
I prefer more specific prompt over vague prompt.
examples:
"charactername and reader who is evil demon possesing their reflections and mirrors, who they can't just get rid of" = specific.
"Reader with X and Y interest and Charactername celebrate Christmas together "
"character reaction when they they found out that the other character love someone else and plan to break up" = specific.
"charactername and canon/reader?" = vague.
You can ask for just any characters headcanons and i would give you them. :D
You can include some headcanons or ooc things you want to include, etc. can make angel not so horny lol or rude character softer. Canon barely exist for me and i can (and will) change character's traits freely. Can make aroace char into rose romantic and pan, or make any character aroace too. they're fictional after all! Can go with aus too (swaping characters, or making demon character angel etc).
feel free to spam as much different requests as you need, i will close em if i will get enough.
I do x reader mostly!!! That'll most easy and likely for me.
can do Canon x Canon. You may request rarepairs like fizzxstriker, or blitzxverosika, etc, i love crackpairings, thinking about certain situations characters may end up in, and think how different characters can get along. If you request popular or canon pairing ( like stolitz, or millie x moxxie - i prefer to have more prompt since i don't create content for them, and don't want to write something that pairing fans saw thousand times.)
Don't send asks with oc x canon. tho i don't mind, you may try your luck, i would love to hear about hellaverse ocs or selfinserts, and ask questions. Im big oc x canon fan and can read loredumps about ocs and i love when people really creative and thoughtful with it, dm if you want to share, don't just send ask. I don't promise to write about them, but if we match (that'll be a miracle but it may happen), i can.
can go both with oneshots or headcanon bullet lists, what i see more fit.
