Summary - They are in a situationship but it’s not like the public don’t know, their pr teams need a pay rise

hi i love your instagram aus!!!
i was wondering if you could do an instagram au private relationship between charles x singer! reader (face claim blackpink rose) on their summer break but they get caught by fans and paparazzi?
𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮
Tumblr media
Lissie note… Really great idea!!! Love it! I’m not too into k-pop, so please excuse me if anything seems wrong with the pictures in terms of timeline stuff. Thank you, and I’m glad you enjoy the aus<3
Things to note:
I’m into rock/indie, so I don’t know much about the K-pop industry. Please don’t come for me :)
Reader is an up-and-coming but popular K-Popstar.
Reader and Charles have been dating since the beginning of the season (set in 2023)
Races are NOT in order
Pairing: Charles Leclerc x Singer!Fem!Reader
Warnings: Slight cursing?
Playlist recommendations: 𝐂𝐋𝟏𝟔, 𝐅𝐥𝐮𝐟𝐟💗
Taglist: @drugged-kitkat, @allwaysallyway

user1 ummm wtf?
user5 @ user2 is right. Fans of this boy group keep bashing her because they were seen together at a literal K-pop event…

user5 literally
user7 idk what all this drama in the comments is, but you’re so pretty❤️

I saw your tag of liking mean Dom jean, do you have any head canons regarding that, or any fun head canons of him similar to the head canons you wrote about the warriors please 🙏 🥹
omg i am obsessed about this man, i could write about him for dayyyyyyssss 😭
jean kirstein
sfw headcanons:
he’s really into skincare lol but he likes it when you do it with him. so he’ll pretend like he doesn’t know what he’s doing just so you’ll rub stuff on his face and he can lay back and feel pampered
being nice doesn’t come naturally, it’s something he has to really try at. he’s just generally kind of rude and asshole-ish, but not from a place of arrogance, it’s more like an insecurity thing? like he’s afraid to be vulnerable so he’s mean as a defence mechanism
he’s really quick-witted and good at comebacks, lowkey bullying 💀 like if someone does something stupid, he’s instantly got a funny quip to say that has everyone laughing
is really caring and thoughtful but immediately gets embarrassed and angry if you point it out. like he’ll bring you food if he knows you haven’t eaten but if you thank him for thinking of you, he’ll be all: “don’t be dumb, i just had extra and i didn’t want it to go to waste” and then he gets all grumpy 🥺
comes from a super rich family so he never thinks twice about spending money. will lowkey flex about things he’s done or vacations he’s been on like “oh yeah the weather in paris is great this time of year”
REALLY DRY TEXTER. like you can’t have a conversation w him over text at all. he’ll just “k” and “lol” or 👍 the whole time. no emotion, no emojis, just the absolute bare minimum (unless you’re sexting and then suddenly he’s shakespeare)
Tumblr media
nsfw headcanons:
HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE DICK. like you can’t believe your eyes for the first time. he’s canonically like 6’3?? so it’s proportionate 👀
knows he has an absolute weapon so he’s really considerate about getting you warmed up first because he’s so scared about hurting you 🥺 will use lube and his fingers and toys to stretch you out if needed
also REALLY into fingering. enjoys oral too, of course, but prefers fingering because he can still kiss you and watch your face and say nasty things 🙈
Goes into demon mode during sex, like literally turns into a completely different person — says the nastiest shit in bed and you fucking love it. like almost degradation? not like name calling but his tone of voice and attitude in bed is just has a mean undertone
Size kink, of course. Loves seeing your pussy stretched out from his cock, the way you choke around his dick because you can’t fit it all down your throat, how small and tiny your wrists look when he’s got them pinned above your head
His favourite thing to do is have you sit on his face after he’s just cum inside you so he can clean you up. Licking and sucking up that mess until he’s hard again and you’re ready for round 2

the last hours spoilers below the cut
thoughts as i read Chain of Thorns so spoilers duh and it got long so under a read more (also as a safety measure against spoilers and tumblr tags not working) feel free to chat with me about it
In april i will change the tags to something more general (I say April because not all versions of the book are out yet I think Italy doesn’t get their editions until March so)
James honey tell your Dad.
Matthew fight me and get help outside of Cordelia asking you not to drink in Paris
did i mention how much i hate the misunderstanding of chain of iron? yeah still hate it... quick moment
youtube
much better
honest about his love for Grace for the love of god Cordelia
Matthew is not keeping to his promise is he? one way or another he is up to something and I don’t like it
23 lmao Will same Magnus i can’t believe it either and lmao James “I haven’t not since last Thursday“
why is Grace arrested? was she arrested? I very vaguely recall her admitting to the shenagins
i love Kamala by the way I hope she goes back to her true name... what was the letter
Lucie is up and atom
*through gritted teeth* what good reason? to dislike Allistair? *eyes twitch*
Thomas’s note *clutches heart* I want to watch that scene in 10 things i hate about you again but also lmao i think the message would get to who its addressed to
Tatiana can fight me... poor Grace
oh Malcolm
Jessamine mention!!!!. finally adults knowing what do. Aww Will singing to James in rusty welsh
back to Matthew and Cordelia *grits teeth* ohh poor faeirie having to deal with this shit. Cordelia admitting that Matthew and Allistair don’t like each other and I loathe it, I loathe her not defending her brother
MADAME DOROTHEA???? oh the waking up theme is back (Madame channeling Elias). wow fun
Malcom don’t steal food... I feel uncomfy please for the love of god grab the poker and impale me with it... Dad has arrived
No you won’t conquer the pain in Paris Matthew. It wouldn’t be that easy to overcome pain WITHOUT THE ONES CAUSING YOU PAIN
.... the truth will out with the Herondale family reunion (Tessa is there we just don’t see her as she’s yelling at Malcolm) and Magnus being upset at not being asked for help as he is the warlock they usually annoy first lmao i love him
73 yes be proud of Jesse “the last bulwark of Englishman under stress. Tea? he suggested“ lol Malcolm
ah the letter Kamala found was blackmail... towards Charlotte maybe?
80 laughing hysterically
Jem is here.... Allistair! i knew the note would be read
97 Matthew are you sure you’re not a idiot
a good plan i suppose... good old Ezekiel
Alexander Bridge (another song coming on)
youtube
110 FINALLY SOME DEMONS... fuck off both of you (also I thought Matthew got bitten by the demon?)
Aw Kit/ Christopher best boy
yay back to this hell and now James is here (also looked at later at art so accidently spoiled myself to some dark haired guy wearing a crown)
Thomas I love and LMAO Will and Magnus best bros
I knew Matthew was lying... can i bang Cordelias head off a wall? Oh James... Eugenia! I missed you baby
I don’t wanna go back to Cordelia... yes it was as painful as expected
Matthew shut up. James use your fucking words
Magnus I love you... I wish I was Balios right now
Jesse’s “helpful fellow called brother Zachariah“
Cordellia is annoying me
tell it like it is Allistair they are idiots
@ James (image id: GIF of the Genie from Aladdin in front of white board reading tell her the truth)
Tumblr media
I love you Allistair and Risa never leave me with these three again (Magnus, Efffie and Eugenia as well)
Oh Christopher I love you, Thomas yay
actual footage of Cordelia getting Allistair into the carriage
Tumblr media
image id: dog on a leash being dragged text around it reading “um no/no mean no/ do not want/ heard you say vet/ wow no/ such abuse/ um wtf r u doing/ not wow/ so forceing“ end id
185 Cordelia and Matthew not planning on saying anything yet why
good idea Allistair and plans on how to find out who is being blackmailed. hatred of ducks is a noble cause
BRIGDET I LOVE YOU
Will is being great embarresing James and scolded by Tessa for quoting Charge of the Light Brigade at the table
I like Jesse I think, lemon drops? lemon drops
Albert Pangborn is great... Lucie you’re making me feel cold and Cordelia i know you are going through it but why
With Jesse and Lucie I am kinda hoping for a Pushing Daisies scenario
Oh Kamala why lie to yourself... Poor Grace kinda... 231 happy place Christopher and Alistair talking about books and languages (showing their brain works)
new day
Jesse spill the beans?
yay back with Cordelia *sigh*... poor Jesse.... No Cordelia you do not know what you saw you are a coward who is certain what you saw was the whole truth and nothing but the truth
would love to see the full evil vanity set it has to exist I won’t accept other wise
i do like Hypatia and Jesse is great... Hi Winston and Ari and Aratia is pretty so back to calling her this then
poor Oscar he is such a good boy
James good with words? I am not so sure
I am scared of Tatiana... but also every single time (image id: screenshot from Lion King 2 Simbas Pride song My Lullaby)
Tumblr media
Beliel is making zombies apparently
so close yet so far... lmao Effie
308 if you spoke to your wife you’d know... I thought Letty be possessed good job me
312 Christopher deserves the world honestly. Go on Grace do the things
aww Mama Tessa, never shut up Thomas you’re great to be with. aw Mama Sona... the fear of god that Malcolm just experiences is priceless and relatable
laughing at the things like the weapons tree
parents what to do? oh chatting and we came so close. Also Esme i love you
Anna and Ari finally got that dance
FOR FUCKS SAKE this is the bad place... no its not Alistair and Thomas almost kissed but got interupted by Cecily screaming
FUCK OFF TATIANA AND EVERYONE LISTENING TO HER
it would also cast more suspicion to be honest
pick up a rock or something Cordelia, poor baby Alex and I DO NOT TRUST this
poor denzins of the Cornwall Institute
Alistair was not wrong and not to bring up lion king 2 again but not one of us? fits kinda well
Tumblr media
FUCK YOU CHARLES!!!! FUCK OFF BRIDGESTOCK
go on Ari, Jem is bae and I love you guys
Charles might be the one being blackmailed and yes he is a pompous git
Lucie saw Edom I think
please not on the staircase think of your back it would hurt i imagine
what did the door knob do to you (reread that section oh it was jammed) still poor door knob
yeah big bath tubs for the win (dream home item big bath tub and swimming pool if i can’t live by the sea/ sea where it is private then i will have to make do)... oh no the adults are leaving
poor Effie can’t wait to see her opinions on everything
also side note last book James was pracitcally begging Cordelia to top him will that make a return?
aww Grace and here is Tatiana of course who i can’t wait to see die... what is going on
come Matthew tell them, James told them about Grace its your turn
Christopher is too good for this world
Matthew fight me (i was actually warming to him and now its two steps back)
lets go help Charlie. Go on Alistair (update i’ve been tabbing as i go and i am running out of pinks)
I love them feeling about conflicted about Grace and her actions... Grace is here and lets go zombies (or guys from black cauldron?)
there is so much kissing and so many characters
and lets go face Tatiana.. oh wow possession is every where apprently
go on Lucie do what needs to be done which is summon RUPERT buddy I missed you
Grace why are you following your “mother”... hi Lilith
CHRISTOPHER NO
Tumblr media
I saw this picture in the run up it is really cool (side note i do like the illustrations my favourites being the blackstairs beach kiss in queen of air and darkness though- also if TWP does not start with the Clace wedding that we have two full chapters of I will sue)
Tatiana is dead? yay... but Christopher no
poor lady under the milkcart... poor people being possessed by Beliel
oh wow Beliel is... yeah this is a lot
James is going with Beliel, and Beliel took Matthew as well good grief
Lmao the title for the next chapter is Intermission: Grief
what if the escape route is a lie? what if its a trap?
new day?
490 Winston is a pretty bird, Oscar what is it puppy? oh it was planned thank god
girl talk time and James/ Matthew being in Edom is so funny to me for some reason
thomas watering the fairchild plants, watered my plants and cleared my skin
Carstair siblings rise!
Jessamine you good?
sup Lilith... if beliel dies by Cordelia’s blade this is strange wording
I love Jesse and Graces dynamic actually
yes destroy the wound
Anna what’s up?... good point
finally the truth comes about Matthew part 2/ bye Carbos it was fun I will remember you next time I read TMI
I want Christopher back (564 I ran out of pink)
They did! they got the fire messages working! I am so proud
oh Lucie, hi Filomena and are we going to be told this plan?
ahh Beliel wants to crown himself and all I can think is this image
Tumblr media
Image id: Queen Elizabeth the 2 and text from christopher eccleston reading “parasite in chief in her idiot hat“
Go on Charlie *pumps fist*
I love you Eugenia
Statues attack and I am out of green tabs
stay safe everyone... Lucie what do?... aw Anna and Ari
Bridget is god and you can’t change my mind
I did think that wording was strange... bye Lilith see you later
herongraystairs mention... JEM YOU ARE OWED A FAVOR FROM BELIEL I have so many questions like does he still have it in SoBH? will he have it TWP? is this thing something I kinda remember being Ghosts of the Shadow Market? (its been awhile okay)
Aw Alastair I forgot you were blonde for a bit... good for you bud
oh so this is how the things got in the coffin like the gun Christopher made for James :(... I hope the locksmith recovered the bullet from it
Alastair the best big brother
(I didn’t put this in my physical notes so I don’t know where it fits in but i am so glad Matthew told his family)
666 Malcolm is here for a chat and it went well
OSCAR GOT A MEDAL!!!
Eugenia remains the best...  croquet lmao yes
Tumblr media
image id: screenshot of Pall Mall scene from Bridgerton season 2
I like the ending
bonus story: love you Jem... I cannot imagine why people would be twitchy at seeing the robes of Silent Brothers (and I wonder if they feel the same?)... the ghosts made me tear up
random thoughts
- too many characters having povs just made it not work for me? especially when a few of them know things that others don’t (like the Gracelet and the fallout)
- Matthew grew on me which surprised me with how much he irritated me during Choi heck I downright hated him. And the same goes for Grace and Anna
- I don’t think I will ever like the love triangle
- scared for Charlotte and her pregnancy is going to be fun
- I wished we could have seen the trials for Wessa and Jesse (and other random scenes)
- because of things do i think we could potentially have something in between TLH and TMI? yes yes i do (i say things because its just the vibe I got from finishing it. I’ll get a better idea when i reread)
hello people who made it to the end of this long ass post go treat yourself with something nice

i feel the same as you kinda, jeno really has me on a chokehold and i cant read any fics for other members 😭😭 i stalk #jeno tag weekly on tumblr in hopes of finding new things written for him but i always feel weird to request for jeno fics to the writers here idk why so i rely on the other jeno stans tysm to them 🫶
btw u live in london too?? thats awesome!! it definitely is so expensive 😭 everything is definitely going downhill here lmao
are u planning on going to the tds show here? i really want to go, but my mum wouldnt let me since its like 1 hour away from home and shes strict with that even tho im 20 :/ genuinely pains me that i cant see them when theyll be so close, but hopefully theyll do many many tds in the future so i can go to them when im finally independent!!!
ps. take however long as you need to, but i really hope you continue writing. your fics are so amazing i dont even have words to explain how much i love them. also also a selfish part of me wishes u switch the mark friends to lovers to jeno too loool but anyways enjoy your day!!!
honestly i spend hours in the jeno tags, whether it’s on here, on tiktok, on twitter… i just love him. i’m not gonna lie, there isn’t a lot of good jeno fics on here, i feel like i have a really particular taste and nothing i’ve found has me hooked. do you have any good jeno fic recs? be sure to send them over! but yeah, the stuff i’ve written for jeno aligns to my tastes, like perfectly. it’s what i want to read so i wrote it lmao but the thing is i can’t enjoy it like readers do :( as i’ve written it so i know what happens and it’s just not as fun for me as it would be for you guys reading it as it’s all so new to you. it’s like when you’ve spent so long cooking, the meal isn’t as satisfying, it’s more satisfying to just have the food ready in front of you LMAO that’s kinda what the jeno fics are to me. sometimes i wish i could read them as if i was the reader not the writer, but it’s all good <3 i am happy that everyone loves them so much and it’s gotten a lot of praise and recognition!!
yeah i do! and don’t even get me started lmao. and yeah! my bf took me to the last show that the dreamies did here and i think we’re gonna go again :) lol i’m not sure for certain cus he always surprises me, i’m actually gonna go to the one in paris! the thing is he hasn’t told me yet, but he made sure i had annual leave booked for the days we’ll be in paris and one of those dates is the dreamies show so!!! yay
awww honestly just really convince your mum, take her out to a nice lunch and just be really pleading and say that you’ll take her with you!! you wanna go right? so would you be up for taking your mum? i feel like that’s a good solution cus you’ll treat her and she won’t be worried about your safety as you’re together.
thank you <3 what fics do you like from me and why? 🫶 i will continue writing, i’m just doing my best tbh. and you know what… not a bad idea, a fic about childhood best friends to lovers jeno and yn, you haven’t been in contact for years but then you reunite at college against all odds. it’s a bit tense, awkward but a lot of sexual tension too and jeno is mad but he’s trying to hide it. maybe he has a girlfriend now? maybe you’ve been in love with him since you were younger? idk it’s a rough idea but this is the kinda vibe i’d do. the mc would have to be very shy and reserved and jeno would be the opposite, it’s the way i like it :)

✨My main man in TOS or TAG, the original, the progenitor, the Colonel, Jeff Tracy! Pretty please?
Thank you!! One Jeff Tracy coming up! Sorry it took a bit of time seeing as life did the whole life thing, but I hope you enjoy the outcome! Rolled "What I’m Doing" by Ian McConnell and that threw me a bit because it's not a super Jeff song (it is a very me song though lol) but this lyric pinged something so: “Don’t wanna fail but sure don’t wanna settle”
Lee Taylor visits Tracy Island for the first time with Jeff.
---
“So, what, you get rich, you buy an island, is that how it goes now, Tracy?”
Jeff snorted, eyes on the sky.
“Not exactly, Taylor, but you already know that.”
“But you did buy an island.”
“Just a small one.”
“Oh, well if it’s small then that’s nothing. What’s possessed you to leave LA anyhow? I thought you were finally settling into the city life.”
“That’s a word for it,” muttered Jeff, the edges of his mouth turning down in distaste.
Lee looked over at him sharply.
“Now that, I don’t like the sound of.”
“It’s nothing.”
“If it’s nothing, what in hell’s name are we doing flying over the South Pacific?”
“Okay, it’s something. I don’t know if I can explain.”
“Your boys are all right though? I remember Sam kicking up a fuss about leaving Kansas.”
“Scott is doing fine. He’s settled.”
“But you’re not.” Lee snapped his fingers. “Mid-life crisis, that’s what this is. Knew the day would come.”
“I’m in my forties.”
“Yeah, and if that’s not midlife then what is?”
“Fifties? Sixties?”
“Pssh, what happened to living fast and dying young.”
“My wife dying happened.”
There was a beat of silence. Their destination appeared on the radar screen and Jeff gripped the controls tightly, deliberately not thinking of anything but banking the plane into her final approach.
“That’s what this is about?”
“No.”
“It is, isn’t it. You think I haven’t been keeping an eye out, you’ve been killing yourself with that company only none of it’s enough.”
“That’s not what this is.”
“Yes, it is. Because you can do all the good you like, fulfil all the plans and dreams you had together and it still won’t bring her–”
“Lee, stop it,” snapped Jeff, spitting the words through his teeth. “Just… can we at least land first?”
Lee pursed his lips together tightly.
“Moving on doesn’t mean forgetting her, that’s all I’m saying.”
“Thank you somuch for that sage advice,” he growled. “I’ve never heard that one before.”
The small landing strip marked the artificial platform built out from the main volcanic feature, extending the island by nearly half a mile and Jeff guided the plane towards it. They were low enough now to make out the villa, for now a skeleton frame clinging to the rocks.
As they watched, the rockface at the end of the runway began to sink, leaving a gaping cave that led into the depths of the volcano.
“Okay, that is pretty nifty,” said Lee, the admiration clear in his voice.
“That’s not the niftiest thing about this place,” said Jeff. “Come on, we’ll go down and see Brains.”
“Brains? That engineer kid you picked up in Paris?”
“That’s the one. He’s just the right man for this job.”
“And he’s working out here all alone? How much are you paying him? What about his family?”
“I d-don’t have a family, Mr Taylor.”
“Aw hell,” said Lee turning around to face him. “This not my day.”
“If you said less, you might not find yourself chewing on that foot of yours so often,” said Jeff drily. “How are you, Brains?”
“Very well, Mr Tracy. You g-got mm..my message then?”
“Are they really ready?”
“Of c-course,” said Brains. “I followed your specifications exactly.”
“I believe my specifications were ‘Do what you think is best, Brains’,” said Jeff, smiling slightly.
“P-precisely. Now would you p-prefer the stairs or the elevator?”
“You put stairs in this thing?”
“I am..mm an engineer, Mr Tracy.”
“Elevator. Stop stalling, Brains, I want to see them.”
“What the hell have you two been cooking up?” Lee demanded.
Jeff clapped him on the shoulder.
“Come on through, Taylor, I’ve got a surprise in store for you.”
They stepped into the elevator together, Brains scurrying in after them.
The temperature slowly dropped with every metre, nobody speaking as they descended deeper and deeper into the heart of the volcano.
“Why’d you even bother to make the walls glass?” asked Lee, knocking against them sharply. “Not like there’s anything to see down…”
He gasped and Jeff mirrored him as the dark shaft opened into a cavernous chamber, hewn from the ancient rocks of the island.
“Wow,” breathed Lee, staring up at the roof in admiration as they continued to fall. “Guess there was a good reason, after all.”
Jeff, however, was looking in the opposite direction.
Shining silver that caught the artificial light, deep green that stood solidly below them, a towering rocket that stretched into the heavens.
He could see Brains’ workshop, the bright yellow material stacked beside a metal frame, blueprints tacked to the wall.
“Holy shit!”
Lee spotted what had captured his attention so thoroughly, and leant forward, pressing his forehead against the glass walls.
“Do you l-like them?” asked Brains, the innocent question belying the smug smile that crept across his face.
Jeff clapped him around the shoulders, something akin to awe and wonder beginning to blossom in his chest.
“They’re magnificent, Brains,” he said quietly.
The elevator dinged, a sound too ordinary for the occasion it was marking and they stepped out as one. Jeff didn’t know where to look, his eyes drawn in all directions. Brains took charge, directing them to mechanical marvel after marvel and they followed him like a pair of lost ducklings, only half taking in what he told them.
“Thunderbird One,” he said finally, as they stood beneath her.
She was built for speed, they could see that in an instant, all excess stripped back in favour of pure adrenaline and acceleration. Her nosecone was painted a bright red, perfect for gauging the strain she had undertaken at as glance as the silver metal began to peek through.
“She has a top ss..speed of fi-fifteen thousand miles per hour, and–”
“Fifteen thousand?” interrupted Lee, leaning forward. “That’s impossible. You’d be able to get to the other side of the planet in… in…”
“Less than an hour,” said Jeff with a small grin. “That’s the point. We’d be able to go anywhere, help anyone. No restrictions of time, of money. No having to argue with independent governments or wait for civil defence forces to make a decision on launch. I cleared it all with the GDF, they’re the only ones who have access to the details of what I intend to do here.”
“Which is what exactly? Come on, out with it, Tracy, you brought me here for a reason.”
Jeff glanced over at Brains who nodded and slipped away.
“Lee, when Lucy died it was the worst day of my life,” he began, and stopped as the old ache flared in his chest. He took a steadying breath and Lee reached out, grasping his old friend’s arm in a show of support.
“There was so much we still wanted to do; it was like my entire life had been cut short. What could I possibly do that wouldn’t remind me of her and what we lost?”
“Tracy Industries?”
“Tracy Industries,” he confirmed. “That was my dream, and mine alone. There was nothing of Lucy in that, and it was a mercy when I could barely breathe for the grief.”
He stared up at Thunderbird One, blinking back decade old tears.
“But for all my success, it wasn’t the right thing. Shouldn’t have been the only thing. I’d left Lucy’s dreams in the dirt and that felt like the biggest failure of all.”
He looked over at Lee.
“And what did she want above everything else?”
“To help people,” he replied. “Any way she could.”
“Any way she could,” repeated Jeff. “Well, this is how. I turned Tracy Industries into a philanthropic success, but it’s not enough to just sit in my shining office and order people around. I have skills that were wasting away up there, skills that I could put to use to help people. I can’t settle for mere charity, not when I can do more.”
There was a fierceness to his words that he hardly recognised, a wild spring of life returning to him as he spoke. For the first time, he was certain. This was the right choice. He’d planted the seed for this little venture years ago, decades really. He hadn’t known it at the time, but every dream he’d had, every sacrifice he’d made – it all led to this moment here.
He knew what it meant to have someone answer a call for help. To have hope.
He took a deep breath.
“I’ve started a new organisation. International Rescue. To save those that traditional rescue organisations can’t get to.”
He chanced a glance across at his friend, knowing he saw the same needs in the world as him. Knowing he was growing frustrated at his job which prioritised information over people. Knowing there was no-one else he’d rather have stand by him in this endeavour.
“So, you in?”
“Flying around the world, saving lost souls and morons alike?”
Lee looked up at the towering machines, his face splitting into a wide grin. “Hell yeah, Tracy.”

The whereabouts of: Andy Jason
Tumblr media
I had this idea of a series that’s interesting but at the same I don’t know if it’ll be good cuz it might repetitive nor if I’ll keep doing it since there can be little to no information on the whereabouts of some of the ND characters and the series is called “the whereabouts of:”, yeah I know what a lousy name but it sounded so cool when I thought of it at midnight while reading this amazing post also ideas at nighttime while listening to folklore music tend to be very interesting and iconic (to me at least).
What’s the series about?
well good question, the series is going to be discussing about what happened to some of the ND games characters by checking the references and the tributes/homages to the characters and putting my hot take / theory about what happened to them. 
Please don’t take this seriously it’s just for entertainment purposes. 
P.S. The series is going to be a kinda spoiler free series but there will some tiny spoilers like the year that a case happened or something but just incase I’m gonna put the spoiler tag also English is not my first language so excuse the grammatical errors that I have.
Anyways I’m starting this series with the one and only Andy Jason from DDI hence his whereabouts were very intriguing and amusing and started to think about it quickly while playing DAN.
So after DDI, where did he go?
First, In 2008, the year where VEN took place, in the stage of where Nancy goes to Fango’s office there are few certificates of Fango’s but there is one certificate that stands out the most and it is this one seen below. A Masters certificate of computer science earned in 2003, what’s important is that the signatures below are the signatures of some of the ND characters throughout the game series and were also mentioned in this post from left to right (Louis chandler MHM , Taylor Sinclair SSH , Andy Jason DDI and Tammy Barnes AKA Minette from DAN). So this indicates that Andy Jason was an Instructor at the University of Bologna prior to DDI which is interesting.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Second, we all know about the reused shorty model in CRY but did you know that there’s also a reused model of Andy Jason (left) in DAN?! Apparently he’s a French policeman.
Tumblr media
And finally, DDI took place in 2003 right?? right so three years after DDI, he travelled to the other side of the world to start fresh and move on with his life and so he travelled to France changing his name and nationality and somehow he became a policeman in Paris?? Either that could be him or a doppelganger who knows?
P.P.S. Guy on the right kinda looks like Brady Armstrong but that’s unlikely it’s him.
So, that concludes my first series entry (kinda?), but it was fun speculating what happened to a character only from a reused model lol.
Thank you for reading this post and please feel free to reblog and add more if you want to because like I said in the beginning it’s a discussion and as they say, the more the merrier.

hi!! i looked in your fic rec MP and i didn't see it, so i thought I'd ask. i read In Vogue recently and LOVED it and then I've been binging project runway episodes (bc why not) and now I'm craving good fashion fics. maybe even a project runway one. have you read any good ones? and could you maybe rec some?
Hi sweetheart. Ohhh, I love that fic. And yes, I’ve got a few that have to do with fashion.
Tumblr media
In Vogue by otpwhatever / @thecelineharry (M, 121K) This one is just….so much. The intensity of the characters, the crazy hot smut (oh god, the window scene), the FASHION, the angst (I had to take a walk around the block after reading it), the epic love story between two men who could rule the world if they could just figure their shit out. The fic has been deleted, but the link is to a download.
These Constant Stars by stylinsoncity (M, 31K) This author has written so many great fics and this one is really lovely. I also always like when one of the boys is not what he seems to be on first glance. There’s also a second part, told from Harry’s POV.
Three French Hems by 100percentsassy, gloria_andrews (M, 20K) the characterizations and set up for this fic are sharp and funny, making this a really fun read. Plus there’s a lot of talk of Louis worshipping Harry’s thighs. LOL!
Fading by tothemoonmydear (M, 202K) Let me start by asking you to please read the tags on this one. It’s a very well-written fic, but it deals very graphically with Louis’ character’s eating disorder. At the time it was written some people felt it did not portray ED recovery accurately, so if the subject is at all triggering for you, please don’t read this one. Of that’s not an issue for you, make sure you have tissues ready because I ugly cried through almost all of this. I read it years ago and loved it at the time, but it’s not one I could handle reading twice.
sweet, where you lay by @infinitelymint (E, 27K) I read this ages ago and my notes only say that it was “sweet and sexy”, which is not terribly helpful. But this author is a good one, in general, so I feel safe including it here.
The rest of these were suggested by @cuethetommo who generally likes the same sort of fics I do. I either haven’t read these, or don’t remember enough about them to have an opinion! 😆 But I trust her.
Put It All On Me by LoadedGunn (M, 15K)
"Yeah, yeah, give it to me, that's it, spread your legs a bit, there you go."
The camera follows Louis as he does. Maybe if the modelling thing doesn't work out, he could try the porn industry. Then again, he's a bit too stocky to be twinky and a bit too twinky to be anything else. He likes that about himself, though. Well, directors and photographers like that about him. He could pull off pretty and edgy, could do GQ in the morning and a perfume commercial in the afternoon. Right now he thinks he could pull off anything, because it's Harry fucking Styles directing him.
Or, a Top Model AU where Louis is accidentally there to make friends, not become Britain's Next Top Model. (Also Zayn is the supermodel host.)
you pull me in by yoursongonmyheart (NR, 7K)
“Did you really wear silk jammies to meet him?” Fizzy is almost in tears.
He’s going to kill them.
He’s really going to kill them.
Ernie throws his backpack on the floor before telling Fizzy, quite loudly, “Mr. Styles looked at Achoo like this” and making an exaggerated jaw dropped face.
“That is not what happened!” Louis protests.
“And Achoo looked at Mr. Styles like that, too!” Doris pulls the same face before laughing.
------
//or the one where Louis is a model, Harry teaches Doris and Ernie at primary and now might be a good time to fall in love.
This Road Leads Where Your Heart Is by LittleLostPieces (E, 15K)
Alright, so Louis has a bit of a type is the thing. And as fit as his supermodel flatmate (Harry) may be, he isn't what Louis is looking for in a potential partner. That’s all. He’s not Louis’ type, with his miles of lanky limbs and his bright, boyish eyes. His impossibly tight, little body and infectious laughter are not what Louis wants. They're not. Really.
swimming in a champagne sea by delsicle (E, 17K)
Louis is a supermodel. Harry is a celebrity photographer known for capturing the brightest up and comers in their most candid moments. They meet at London’s most exclusive New Year’s Eve party.
An alpha/alpha fic filled with confusion, banter, Ubers, and glitter
Life at Shutter Speed by zarah5 (E, 20K)
AU. Having landed a job modelling for an outdoor clothing catalogue, Harry certainly wouldn’t mind doing some extracurricular work for photographer Louis Tomlinson. Say, a private photo session? Yes, please? Good thing that Harry has ten days and three beautiful locations -- Morocco, Indonesia and the Swiss Alps -- to make Louis see just how good they could be.
Special Topping by LoadedGunn (E, 20K)
'Who would even want so many pizzas so late at night?' Harry wonders before the door opens.
Oh. Apparently short guys with shaggy brown hair and a scruff and bright blue eyes and heart-stopping smiles. That's who.
Harry's not even ashamed of how he nearly drops all the pizzas. This guy is gorgeous and Harry hasn't noticed anyone like that in ages, let alone provided services to them. If he opened his mouth right now the only thing that would come out is, "By special topping did you mean my dick?"
Or, the AU where Harry delivers pizza and Louis really just wants Tim Gunn to spank him.
everywhere (i want to be with you) by itiswhatisbutterfly (E, 42K)
Harry and Louis meet because they have terrible friends, they fall in love because something feels right in a world of uncertainty and shifting grounds. Louis is an actor and Harry is a model at the top of his game, the best things in life are the most unexpected ones and the things that hit you when you are least expecting it.
Featuring winter in London, nights in Paris, early mornings in New York, burning heat in Monte Carlo and an enduring love spent transcending four corners of the globe.
Young Gods by sincewewereeighteen (E, 77K)
“Why don’t you stay?” Harry looked down at him and snorted. “What?”
“You’re not my type, Louis”, the boy rolled his eyes sitting on the edge of the bed to put on his boots.
“Says the man you just had sex with”, Louis pointed feeling smart, but Harry was one step ahead of him, with the answer on the tip of his tongue.
“You see, if you were my type, I wouldn’t have”, Harry winked, cheeky as hell. “I would’ve gotten to know you first.”
“Bullshit”, he accused the boy not letting it show how intrigued he was. “How can you know I’m not your type if you don’t know me?”
“How about I list five things about you to prove I’m right and if any of them are false I’ll lie down again.”
“Ok. Go.”
[Or: the one in which Louis is a model and Harry's supposed to be a normal guy... Until he isn't.]

Extremely fascinated by your wag AU tag 👀.
thanks bestie so am i.
Tumblr media
okay lmao so this isn't an actual fic that'll ever be written but. i was talking to my friend about it who still hasn't finished dts season 3 unfortunately but it means that i've switched around ages and years etc. i promise this has the potential to be a fun and sexy time but there's just s o much background shit that needs to be discussed. tw for mentions of irl deaths etc:
but pierre & charles meeting when they're 5-6 (which is what i think charles actually says irl but someone said it might've been closer to when they were 10-11? regardless.) and charles' dad passes away when they're 9-10, and jules when they're 13-14 and charles quits racing then. (fyi i know that irl jules passed away first)
he thinks about quitting when his dad passes away but keeps going with help from jules. so when the accident etc happens, it's not even like an active decision he ponders. he just knows there's no way he'll race again.
and pierre's been with him throughout everything, his best friend who he can talk to when he can't bear looking at his own family. so he doesn't understand when pierre tells him he's going to keep racing. when charles had told him he was never going to get into a kart ever again, pierre had nodded, grabbed his hand and squeezed it tight. important to note that they're barely teenagers rn so yes charles feels betrayed that pierre isn't feeling the same things he is and isn't choosing the same future for himself etc.
they have a huge fight, lots of crying, lots of dramatic teenage angst. but it ultimately ends with charles shutting pierre out of his life. which is easier said than done when it's your best friend whose family is super close with yours. but it works because pierre is off racing around the world and charles has done all he can to never have to think about that stuff.
so charles goes to school, is doing uni somewhere in europe. studies something generic like business or maybe if i'm feeling suuuuper indulgent i will have him major in environmental studies like moi <3 pointedly does not come to monaco during grand prix weekend or the week before or the week after.
and then anthoine passes away too. (they're 20-21 now)
they see each other again at the funeral but don't talk, they meet up afterwards. pierre breaking down in charles' arms, clutching at his back, telling him he was right. pierre should've quit, he can't do this anymore either. they haven't said a word to each other in 7 years but charles still knows pierre, and knows that this isn't actually what pierre wants. or what he should do. (charles vaguely knows pierre's in f1 but doesn't know he's with redbull, doesn't know redbull's the top team etc)
"you can still do this, you will," charles tells him.
"not without you again."
so then comes the challenge of mending their relationship while still working through the shared trauma, and the Layers of past trauma. and also just the general awkwardness that comes with a friendship breakup/makeup situation you know! they can't just act like nothing happened but would it be easier that way?
they start texting first, then they play fifa or cod together. (sometimes pierre's british friend lewis joins too.)
slowly slowly slowly, they become friends again and then inseparable too. maybe even closer than they were before and charles only now realizes how much he missed pierre. while pierre still can't believe he has charles back now, it's as good as he let himself imagine.
the part i'm unsure about is if i would want pierre's career trajectory to be the same or not. because i think the demotion adds SUCH a painful but interesting aspect to his ~storyline. but ultimately i think maybe he just doesn't get the second seat immediately. spends more years with toro rosso/alpha tauri before getting "called up" (sorry i have no idea what the proper terminology is haha ignore the nba/nhl terms).
he invites charles to his first race in the red bull and charles says no. immediately. pierre's quiet on the other side of the phone, internally thinking he messed this up somehow. he thought things were going well and he takes this as charles doesn't want to see him. but he knows there's a lot more that's stopping charles and he also knows charles will definitely pull back if pierre asks about the other stuff. so he moves right along, asking charles about school, the weather, and tries not to let it show in his voice that he misses his best friend and needs him too.
"i'm going to try to watch," charles says, after pierre's yawned goodnight through the phone and is waiting for him to hang up. because you know pierre's not going to hang up first.
"what?"
"the race. i'm going to try. goodnight!" mentally charles slams the phone shut but really he just smashes at the red button before shoving it under his bed and looking at his hands trying to get answers for what he just did.
his only relief is that he didn't promise pierre he would watch, just that he would try. couldn't even choke out a, "good luck." (insert long paragraph about charles letting pierre down or thinking he has).
he only watches qualifying. pierre p3. already knows on saturday that there's no way he can watch the actual race.
but on sunday when he's supposed to be going over his notes for his climate change science & policy course (yes.... i did it...) he finds himself with his heart in his mouth refreshing formula1 dot com. watches the random names move up and down while keeping his eyes on 10 - gasly. (starts shaking for a second when he sees pierre's name drop until the IN PIT sign comes up across his name. fellas the thing about triggers is-- anyways.)
the scariest part is that by the time he's scrolled through all of red bull's socials to look at pictures of pierre on the podium (he finished p2 sorry i know this truly does not matter), he's forgotten about the race. the anxiety sits small in the back of his throat, his happiness for pierre is bright and loud in front of him. charles sends him a message, asking him to call whenever he can and adds a blue & red heart emoji which feels like a Big Step. but basically pierre calls and acts like nothing has happened since the last time they talked. mentions the breakfast he had in detail as if he didn’t get a podium in his first race with red bull. finally with a big team. but charles embarrassingly realizes that maybe his text didn't exactly imply in literally any way whatsoever that he knows the results of the race and was trying to congratulate pierre with this call. charles probably feels so embarrassed at this point but somehow still can't manage to say anything about the race until the next day maybe.
maybe texts pierre, good job. or, you were great. or something about him and not the race. or maybe reposts a picture from red bull but not one of pierre in his car, pointedly. only one of him on the podium. and pierre probably reposts it with the squid emoji and/or my favourite sentence in the world, merci petit calamaro.
charles cries when he reads it.
not to be lazy now but [insert 10k words of them building their friendship. meeting up in monaco with both of their families. meeting in milan or london or paris idk where pierre would live. but he flies charles out. not on a private jet because charles flat out refused lol. not because he's an environmentally conscious king he's just too, embarrassed? overwhelmed? by pierre doing Things Like That for him. even though he wants it lol. like when he graduates he's soooo annoyed that pierre couldn't come celebrate immediately because it was race week. but when he comes home his apartment is filled with flowers (roses, his favourite) and balloons and a giant teddy bear as tall as charles. and he DOES post 12 instagram stories to go with the other 30 from his other friends congratulating him. so yeah charles goes through a lot of personal growth and therapy. to the point where he's watching pierre race again, and waiting for him to invite him to a race again!!! do not even think about actual dates i'm fucking begging you but the one he goes to is monza :))))]
ultimately charles' path to understand/accepting/moving on from, his trauma, happens once he has pierre back in his life. it's also encouraged by pierre, but it's also not entirely because of him. not sure how to word that but yeah. these things are happening at the same time but charles still has to go through them by himself.
pierre takes him on romantic dates all around the world and charles doesn't realize that's what they are. fully in his bestie vibes only mood while pining for pierre in a way he doesn't even quite understand. almost a self deprecating, jeez whoever gets to date pierre is going to be so lucky :/
fanpage on ig: met pierre's alleged bf he's so pretty and sweet, i complimented his shoes and he was so nice. charles reading that: i didnt know he was dating someone :( why wouldn't he tell me :( well at least someone complimented my shoes today :(
pierre doesn't necessarily think they're dating, but he does know charles doesn't quite realize what they're doing so he's just waiting for him to come to terms with it.
not to give this au 10 different subplots but yeah that miscommunication plot becomes our prize for surviving through the first part of this.
but yeah at the last race of the year, that pierre wins because i said so? charles finds him before he goes on to the podium, kisses his helmet. says i love you, i'm so proud of you.
THEN, finally, charles does become pierre's wag. we made it kids. we did it joe.

                                                           ////
     You wiped all your things in your bag as soon as the bell rang, glancing at Hyunjin and Paris before getting up from your chair.
    “Are you coming with us, Hyunjin?” You asked mindlessly, checking if you had everything inside your bag and hoisting it over your shoulder as you concluded that everything was there. You looked at him, waiting for his answer, and watching as he placed his things inside his bag, taking out your book from there.
   “I won’t eat in the dining hall” He scrunched his nose, making you roll your eyes. Paris looked at you amused before looking at him and gasp, snapping her head back at you with a surprised look. You arched your brow, confused by her sudden behavior, and she darted her eyes back to him before settling them on you.
   “He was the friend you met on Wednesday?!” She asked excitedly, and you frowned. What the hell was she talking about? You looked at him confused, and he sent you a knowing look, a smirk plastered on his face.
   “Talking about me to your friends already, hm?” He teased, and you stared at him blankly before shaking your head slightly, rolling your eyes. Paris took the book in her hands, waving it for you to see it. You frowned, no clue about what she expected you to do.
   “You said you were going to meet your friend to give it to him!” She recalled, and you widened your eyes, remembering your lies. Great, now Paris would be fixed on the idea you were meeting Hyunjin behind her back “So… Are you guys friends now or something?” She grinned, and Hyunjin raised his brow at you, questioningly.
   “Yeah, yeah” You agreed, giving him a warning look that he took silently, keeping his mouth shut, “Something like that” You added, forcing a smile. Paris narrowed her eyes, suspicious, and you began to walk, so they would follow you and drop the subject.
   Paris clearly couldn’t be an actress, because she didn’t follow the script in your head.
   “Something, hm?” She teased, and you looked at Hyunjin for help. He shrugged, not knowing what to do since he didn’t even know what was going on, and you let your shoulders drop in defeat “Should I leave the love birds by themselves?” She grinned, and Hyunjin ─who clearly didn’t understand how to maintain a friendship with you─ grinned along.
   “Should she?” He asked playfully, looking directly at you. You pushed your tongue against your cheek, annoyed. Paris’s grin morphed into a full wide smile, eyes sparkling in excitement as she clasped her hands and looked at you. She was beaming. You could risk saying that you never saw her that happy in your whole life, almost relieved.
   That was how much she wanted you dating someone… Jesus.
   “Hyunjin, fuck off” You asked, voice drained and a pleading expression that made him chuckle. She giggled, happy with your not so gentle interaction, and you let out an exasperated sigh “We’re not dating, Paris” You pointed out, stressing your words. She hummed ─ clearly not buying them ─ and you let out a heavy sigh, wondering what have you done wrong in your life for your friend to believe in whatever she wanted, completely ignoring you.
    “Didn’t you mean fuck me?” Hyunjin goaded, smiling devilishly at you. Paris shot you a keyed up look, holding her breath as you walked, interested in your answer. You almost laughed at her eyes twinkling, like she was a child watching their favorite toy on display.
    “That’s exactly what I meant, thank you” You smiled obnoxiously, letting it hang in the air for a second too long, enough to confuse him “Fuck you” You added, grimacing, and he let out a wholeheartedly laugh, surprised by your retort. You chuckled, fighting back your smile as your eyes roamed around the quad as soon as you got to the stairs.
    “You almost tricked me” He confessed, humming in appreciation “You’re getting better at this”
    “Almost? You totally fell for it” You accused lightly, shooting him a funny look. Paris seemed pleased at your interaction, smiling at herself as she looked around the quad, mimicking your previous action. Unlike you, though, she let out a gasp. You raised your eyes to follow hers, spotting Han and his father walking side by side.
   “I thought Han would be lunching with us today” She mused, observing the other man walking along with them. They were walking fast, talking about something enthusiastically as Han nodded once in a while, a tight smile that conveyed his uncomfortableness from miles away. You frowned, concerned about him. Since Friday’s match, he had been feeling kinda down in general.
   Sometimes he seemed just alright as if he didn’t have anything to worry about.
   Sometimes he looked like he was drowning in regret.
   Just like now.
   The way his shoulders were dropped made it seem like he had to carry the weight of the entire world on them. The way his lips quirked down ─ almost imperceptibly but casting a shadow in the corner of his lips ─ made it seem like his whole face was taken by whatever dark thoughts wandered around his mind. The way his jaw clenched ─ stretching his neck just a little bit ─ made it seem like he had an invisible rope ready to strangle him. The way his eyebrows quivered almost imperceptibly made you realize how much he was trying to hide a clear ocean of emotions behind his worried eyes.
   You knew something was wrong and you couldn’t believe one lost match was the reason why he seemed so down lately.
   So what exactly was his problem?
   You pursed your lips, patting Paris’s shoulder before looking at Hyunjin, waving him goodbye before turning to her, forcing a small smile. You made your way to the dining hall, dismissing Paris’s idea of going their way to greet them but sending some looks over your shoulder. Maybe later you should try to figure it out.
   For now, though, it was lunchtime.
                                        //////
    Later arrived sooner than you expected.
    You bit your hot dog, crossing your legs as you fixed yourself on the stool and leaning against the stand as you watched the P.E building, waiting for Han to come out of his practice. You heard the coach wasn’t pleased about the results, and it seemed like he was taking out his frustrations on the team, tiring them out.
    You distracted yourself for a split of a second, admiring the dark sky that fell upon you. Although work in a library was fun to some extent, it was always strange to get in there with the sun burning your scalp and people wandering around, chatting up, to get out when everything was dark and quiet. The lights shooting from the roof made you trail their path, getting too invested in them to notice someone coming in your way.
   “Waiting for your boyfriend?” Minho’s voice sounded as soon as someone shadowed your view. You focused your gaze on him. Despite his usual teasing, it was clear he was drained, an unusual frown giving him away. You gestured to the stool beside you for him to sit, ignoring his teasing like you often did when you didn’t find it in you the urge to whine at him. He gestured to the employee, asking whatever he called the usual before he sat down.
   The silence was slightly awkward but neither of you tried to say anything at first. You glanced at him, munching your food as you pretended not to be interested in why he looked so edgy today. He tapped his fingers on the stand, eyes fixed on the building behind him; though he probably didn’t intend to show his anxiety, the subtle rocking his body made back and forth was enough for you to sigh in defeat, lowering your food.
   “What is it?” You decided to ask, taking him by surprise. He looked at you astonished; impressed you even noticed something was wrong with him, blinking a few times as he deadpanned. You rolled your eyes, shoulders dropping as you scoffed “Really? You look like shit, Minho! Also, you can’t stop bouncing your leg and drumming your fingers. I mean, either you’re anxious or you really want to be a drummer” He snorted, nodding in defeat.
   “It’s been tiring” He shrugged “Coach is mad at us for losing like that… I fucked everything up” He admitted “I couldn’t even think about missing a serve in a time like this… He’s been on my tail since then” He sighed, clearly overwhelmed “Also, I think Han isn’t feeling much better… “ He eyed you cautiously “Isn’t he distant lately?” You blinked, thinking deeply.
   Well, to tell the truth, he kinda was.
   “I think so? He has been acting weird… I don’t think it’s about the match though” You confessed, resting your hot dog on the stand before continuing “Sometimes it just seems like he’s lost inside his head, I don’t know how to explain” He nodded in agreement, looking at your food as if he craved for it, making you chuckle “You can have it, I’m okay” You pushed it his way, fighting back a chortle as he blushed, embarrassed.
    “No! Sorry! I’m just…” He closed his eyes when his stomach growled, and this time you couldn’t hold back your laughter, pushing your food closer to him “Sorry, I’m starving” He admitted, picking up your hot dog and humming as soon as he had a bite “The damn coach didn’t give us any time to fucking eat!” He muttered, mouth full of food, as he tried to cup it so he wouldn’t spat at you.
    “Han missed the practice? Where is he?” You asked out of nowhere, realizing that if the coach was on their tail, he should be with Minho right now. Minho gulped down his food, sighing.
    “He’s at the gym… He said he needed some alone time” He took another bite, cupping his mouth again “Said he wasn’t hungry… As if” He scoffed. You frowned, looking at the building once more, attention dragged back as Minho’s food was settled in front of him “Do you want some?” He offered, pointing to his brand new hot dog.
    “Actually… Can I have this? I’ll pay for yours” You reassured him, picking up your bag to search for your wallet “I’m going to push it down his throat” You grunted, putting the money right in front of Minho. He laughed, shaking his head and waving his hand dismissively.
   “What a caring girlfriend” He teased, gesturing so he could order another one, pushing your money back to you before you gave him a neck-slap “I owe him one” He shrugged it off, and you wiped your money back into your bag, picking up the hot dog and quickly making your way to the gym, afraid he would just go home unexpectedly.
    You struggled a little bit to find it but as soon as you spotted Han laid down on the floor, arms crossed upon his eyes and fingers buried into his hair ─ the definition of defeat himself ─ you felt all your unsettledness dissolve into pure worry. You cleared your throat, and the sudden echo in the empty gym startled him. He shot his body up, sitting on the floor and moving his hands away so he could see who was sneaking there; shoulders dropping in relief when he spotted you.
   The next second, he tensed up, realizing it was you.
   “What are you doing here?” He asked surprised, way more stiffly than you were used to seeing him. You approached him, handing the hot dog without a word, and he arched his brow in wonder, looking at you as if you were crazy “What is it? You suddenly had the urge to come here with a hot dog?” He scoffed, and this time you rolled your eyes.
   “Just eat the damn thing” You pushed it in the air, and he took it gratefully “I heard you said you weren’t hungry… I immediately realized you needed a friend. I mean, did I ever see you satisfied in your life?” You joked, and he laughed at it for a few seconds before his laughter died slowly, giving way to an awkward silence.
   “I don’t think you did” He muttered under his breath, taking a bite. You gasped, taken aback by the sudden change in the mood. Han wasn’t the one to complain about his life. If you were being honest, you couldn’t recall a time he complained about anything for real ─ well, except for Hyunjin being in your life ─, so you took the hint to sit down next to him, placing your hand on his knee.
    “You know you can talk to me, right?” You offered unsure, eyeing him cautiously “I may not be able to help you but I can hear you out” You gave him a small smile which he returned, sighing right after. He took a bite of his food but didn’t seem to care about the taste, as he didn’t even hum like he used to do when he ate it.
   “I don’t know where to begin with” He stated, eyes unfocused but fixed somewhere over your shoulder “I mean… I don’t know… You know?” He trailed off, which wasn’t really helpful. You furrowed your brows, tilting your head.
�� “Could you be more specific?” You asked amused, and he chuckled, gulping down his food.
   “I lost this game… And for what, Y/N? For what?” He sighed heavily “Dad brought a friend to meet me today… He said those things happen, said he knows I’m better than that…” You perked up at that, happy he would have another chance sooner than expected “He watched my other games and said I’m promising” He concluded with another sigh.
  Though his words were all good signs, he said them as if they were a death sentence.
  “I don’t follow you” You admitted, confused “Isn’t it a good thing? I mean… Did he give you a chance? Will you play on a team?” You added, and he looked at your eyes deeply demotivated.
  “I don’t deserve that spot” His tone was hurt, kinda breathy, and you were taken aback by how destroyed he looked. Has he ever been this tired? You couldn’t remember it “I wasn’t supposed to have that spot” He added, laughing humorlessly “What about my team? What about them, Y/N? They missed their chances because I’m a son of a bitch” His hands fisted his hair and he gazed at the floor, embarrassed to raise his eyes and look at you.
   “You deserve it, Han! I watched every game for the last two years… You were incredible in each one of them. One bad day can’t just erase all of your hard work” You took your hand from his knee to rest it on his shoulder, squeezing it reassuringly “They’ll get another chance! All of you made some mistakes throughout the game… A lost match isn’t the responsibility of a single player, Han. You’re a team”
   “I missed the ball” He blurted out, and you raised your brows surprised.
   “Yeah, I know but it doesn’t mean you’re the one to—“ He interrupted you, voice firm and guilty.
   “No, I missed the ball” He shut his eyes, and you frowned, confused.
   “Yes, I know… What I mean is –“ You tried again, and this time he interrupted you with a peal of incredulous laughter but not a hint of humor in it.
   “No! You don’t understand it!” He whined, voice faltering as if he was about to cry “I missed it, Y/N… I choose not to save it! I missed the damn ball!” He raised his voice, half-yelling on the silent gym; voice echoing over and over again, sinking in your brain slowly.
   “You did what?” You couldn’t believe it. Why would he do something like that? You stood there, staring at him blankly, blinking a few times as you tried to make sense of what he just said. He looked at you with so much hurt in his eyes, that it was impossible not to feel the regret engulfing him right now.
  “I let my team lose… I took away their chances because I’m an egoistic son of a bitch” His voice was thick, heavy even, and yet it broke into a million pieces. You felt your heart sink, not knowing what to say. He covered his eyes, bringing his knees next to his chest to rest his face there, grip tightening on his hair.
  “Why?” You asked slowly, at a loss of words. He raised his head just a little bit, enough for you to get a glimpse of his teary eyes and quivering chin.
  “I don’t want to be a player” He confessed bluntly.
   At first, you gasped, dumbfounded.
   Then everything made sense all at once.
   “You want to be a musician” You blurted out, breathlessly “I can’t believe I didn’t see it before… Han, why are you here? Why aren’t you going after your dreams?” You couldn’t understand him. He was so talented! He did so much in his projects with Paris… What was he afraid of? It didn’t make any sense.
   “It doesn’t matter what I want… What does matter is that I ruined what everyone else wanted” He sighed, cupping his cheek as he tilted his head to the side, looking at you with a face that had failure written all over it “And for what? Just to get into a team… It was useless” You frowned, starting to get upset at him.
  “Do you think you’re some kind of god or something?” You snarled, scoffing and looking away from him before returning your gaze “Were you alone in that damn court, Han? Were you playing all by yourself?” You ranted. He opened and closed his mouth a few times, surprised by your outburst.
  “No, but I could have –“ You sneered, nodding in discontent.
  “And so could them!” You shouted, and he pursed his lips, afraid of speaking up. You sighed, shoulders dropping “Look… The only thing you should be feeling guilty about is to be a dumbass” You snorted, and he seemed to relax a little bit “How can you think that your dream doesn’t matter, Han? It’s all that matters… It’s your life. You just have this one to live” You looked deep into his eyes, and he averted them, flustered.
   “Actually… If you believe in reincarnation and –“ You groaned, interrupting him.
   “Don’t try to change the subject!” You threatened him with your eyes but he seemed to find it amusing, letting out a chuckle “Why aren’t you pursuing your dreams? Why are you here if you could make yourself a hell out of a musician?” You asked curiously, and his amusement faded away.
   “You’re going to laugh at me…” He trailed off. You squeezed his shoulder once more, encouraging him to speak “Dad was a volleyball player” He began awkwardly, and you nodded reassuringly “He got injured real bad and had to retire… He got kinda depressed, you know? It was his dream. He loved to play. It happened when I was a kid… I decided to join my school team, so he could watch my matches and… Well, I wanted to make him feel happy” He shrugged.
   You sighed, knowing damn well how it would end.
   “When I won my first match he was so excited… It was the first time he laughed like that in a long time, so I just… Well, I wanted to allow him to live his dream through me” He sighed “And I loved to play, I really did. Somewhere along the way, it stopped being my dream and it started to be my burden, though” He looked at you, waiting for your reaction, and you looked at him sympathetically.
   “So drop it” You advised, and he scoffed, shaking his head in disbelief.
   “You don’t understand it! I don’t want to disappoint him… He did nothing but support me my whole life, Y/N… I’m his Champ” He sounded bitter, lips twisting down “How can I take it away from him? How can I carry the burden of letting him down?” He sighed, and you chuckled. He raised his eyes, confused, and your chuckled grew to a giggle until you couldn’t stop laughing. He looked offended, so you rushed to wave your hands eagerly.
   “I’m not laughing at you!” You assured, shaking your head in amusement “It’s just… Han, I don’t think you could ever let him down, really. The man just adores you! He’d accept you as you are, Han. Whoever you are. He loves you, and he does it from the bottom of his heart” You reassured him, pushing his shoulder lightly “He even approved of your imaginary relationship with Paris and Minho” You pointed out, laughing.
   “Don’t even remind me of this!” He cringed “It was embarrassing” He sighed, glancing over at you.
   “No, it wasn’t” You chuckled “I think it’s awesome you have someone who loves you so much… I can’t even imagine how it works” You smiled sadly, shrugging “I mean… I think he would have your back. He asked us to say to you that he was really proud of you, even if you lost it… He was concerned you’d be embarrassed to look at him after your match, that was why he just left earlier” He gasped, and you snorted “You should have known it but you got so drunk…”
   “Do you think he will take it well?” He asked unsurely, and you got up, extending your hand for him to help him out. He took it, standing right in front of you “I mean… Don’t you think it’d be better if I kept playing for him? I even have a team” You opened your arms for a hug, and he stood there staring at you.
    “Han, put it inside your head” You rolled your eyes “Your father loves you so much… Do you think his dream is to see you playing? His dream is to see you happy, Han. He’d be happy if you were happy. That’s all you need to do” You stepped closer to him, hugging him. He leaned his head against your shoulder, inhaling deeply “Just chase your dreams and he’ll support you with all his heart, okay? You’ll be a great musician and He’ll go to every one of your shows with Paris’s foam glove” You chuckled.
    You squeezed him, trying to convey some peace into him, feeling how he melted, hugging you back full of love. It was a warm hug and for a split of a second, you remembered Hyunjin saying Han liked you. You tried to pull away, haunted by the mere thought of taking him away from Paris but he held you tight.
   You inhaled sharply.
   “I never had someone to talk like this…” He muttered against your shoulder, and you hummed, patting his back “No one ever supported me like this… I’m…” He trailed off, and you got it as a hint to break away from him, smiling uncomfortably, rubbing your nape.
   “I mean, you have a lot of supporters! You have me and Par—“ Before you could complete your sentence, he interrupted you, grabbing your shoulders firmly and looking deep in your eyes.
   Oh boy.
   “I like you” He confessed, simply like this, and you shut your eyes tightly, exhaling slowly. You couldn’t get away from this “I have liked you for a while now… I always had a crush on you, and I thought I could just let it go but I can’t” He continued, rubbing circles on your skin with his thumbs. You opened your eyes again, looking at him like you were in pain “If you can just give me a chanc—“ You placed your finger upon his lips, sighing.
   “I can’t, Han… I’d do anything for you, I really like you but… Like a brother or something like this. I never thought about you as more than a friend” You admitted, pursing your lips as he gave you a hurt expression.
   “Maybe we can try to go on a date? Just to see if we may click! Perhaps you can come to like m—“ You sighed again, shaking your head slowly.
  “I really can’t… It wouldn’t be fair to you and it wouldn’t be fair to… Well, it’s just not fair” You shrugged, trying to keep Paris out of your speech. He pursed his lips, twisting them down and lowering his gaze, ashamed to look at you “Don’t be like this, we can still be friends and—“ This time was his time to interrupt you.
  “I can’t do it right now” He admitted “How can I look at you every day knowing you don’t like me back? Knowing you’re going to be my friend out of pity?” He looked deep in your eyes, and you could see how conflicted he was right now. The tears prickled in your eyes, and you could see how his eyes were glossy as well.
   “I don’t pity you… I really want to be your friend!” You assured him eagerly, voice faltering. He snorted, nodding in understanding.
   “But I don’t want to be friends with you… I want to be something more” He sighed, voice faltering as well. It was a vulnerable moment, and he took a deep breath before letting go of your shoulders “It’s not that I don’t want to be friends with you anymore, okay? It’s just that I can’t do it right now… I need some time” He confessed, averting his eyes.
   “You promise you won’t bail on me?” You asked, holding your pinky out in the air, expecting him to lock his with yours.
  “Yeah, of course” He smiled weakly at you, locking your fingers together.
                                                                    ////
   It was needless to say you looked like shit as soon as you got home.
   The walk to the dorms was quiet and uncomfortable as Han made sure to drop you off, claiming that some rejection didn’t mean he couldn’t make sure you would get home safe. Although it was gentle and thoughtful, the silence sank in a way that made you cringe the whole way in the most awkward walk you ever had in your life.
  You opened the door and something about it ─maybe it was the popcorn smell, maybe it was the soft sound of unknown voices coming from the TV ─ made you realize that you were finally home. It hit you like a truck, and all the tiredness washed over you mercilessly. The weight of your busy day impregnated every fiber of your body, and suddenly you felt too worn out to say anything. You let out a heavy sigh, closing the door behind you before dropping your keys and bag to the counter, walking to the fridge to have some water.
      From morning to night, all your day was filled with worries.
      Paris raised her eyes from the TV ─ pausing whatever she was watching to look at you, which gave you a moment of comfortable silence that made you hum in approval─, studying you silently for a few seconds. She seemed to be puzzled by your nonchalantly self and somehow it pushed her to talk to you, even if it was pretty obvious you didn’t want to say anything right now.
   “You’re late” She stated, glancing over the clock before turning her gaze back at you “Were you with Hyunjin?” She smiled mischievously, tone knowing and teasing, and you looked at her far too done to play along “You look exhausted, the night must have been really nic—“ You shot her a look, deciding you weren’t up to this kind of bullshit right now.
  “I was with Han” You interrupted, and her face fell. She averted her eyes before biting her lip, turning her gaze back at you, unsure if she should say something. You kept looking at her, waiting for some kind of reaction but she was settled in look eager to know though too afraid to ask.
  As if it wasn’t enough, your head started to pound.
  “He confessed to me” You decided to come clean, studying her reaction. She raised her eyebrows slightly, not as surprised as you thought she would be. If you must describe it, she looked resigned, as if she knew it would happen all along. You frowned, narrowing your eyes to her “You knew?” You sounded accusatory, and she didn’t miss the tone.
   “I think you’re the only one who couldn’t see it” She admitted, “How did it go?” She couldn’t even look at your eyes, fixing her gaze on the floor. You took another gulp, roaming your eyes up and down at her. She fisted her hands, head dropped and body all stiff as if she was really afraid of your answer; her voice sounded weak enough for you to know she was fighting the urge to cry, and it made you sigh once more.
   “How could I do this to you?” You gave her a small smile, which she saw because her head snapped back at you, eyes widen as she took your smile in “You love him, don’t you?”
  “You knew?!” She was taken aback. It seemed like the mere thought of you knowing about her feelings didn’t even cross her head. She stood up from the couch, and for a moment you thought she would beam and hug you, maybe even thank you for letting him go. Not that you needed it. You widened your smile but she didn’t offer you one back.
   Paris looked offended.
   Not like her usual mock offended self, or her joking and kind self. She looked as if you just slapped her in her face. She was angry, to say the least, face red and brows furrowed, jaw clenched and you could see her swallowing dry. Her eyes held a storm inside them that you never saw before, and for a moment you wondered if you misunderstood her feelings.
  “Why didn’t you tell me?” She spat, and you blinked twice, surprised, head tilting back slightly as if her words had impacted you like a punch “Did you… I can’t… What the fuck were you thinking?!” She yelled, stumbling over her words. You couldn’t understand her train of thoughts, so you just stood there speechless.
  What the fuck was going on?
  “Answer me!” She demanded, tears prickling her eyes “God… You’re… Why are you like this?! Why can’t you… Argh!” She groaned, fisting her hair and pulling it slightly, throwing her head back. She let go of her hair, shooting you a glare “Why?! Just tell me why!” She uttered, and you decided to rest your glass on the counter, confused.
  “I don’t follow you… Are you mad because I said no to him?” You asked just to be sure, and she laughed like a maniac. Out of nowhere. You glanced at your sides, startled, wondering if maybe it was all a joke and tons of cameras would take pictures of your flabbergasted self. She stopped laughing to clasp her hands, the sharp sound making you yelp.
  “How did you know I liked him?” She asked, trying to organize her questions, inhaling deeply so she could control herself.
  “You told me and Hyunjin when you got drunk at the party before our deadline” You answered simply, choosing to be the most straightforward as possible. She nodded, looking displeased with herself, scrunching her nose before turning her gaze back to you.
  “Why did you say no to him?” She asked, voice lower, and you scoffed amusedly.
  “What is it? Am I obliged to return his feelings now?” You chuckled but she didn’t seem to find it funny. She glared at you, and your laugh died inside your throat, making you gulp down. She approached you, getting right at the other side of the counter, looking dead serious to something as harmless as this.
   “He loves you!” She uttered, pissed off, and you clapped your hands, starting to get annoyed at her constant yelling. Your head throbbed and your thought flickered around the fact that you were too tired for it, too eager to go to your bed and lay down. Suddenly, all of your turbulent feelings seemed to find their way out of you, turning into anger and displeasure.
   “What do you want me to do?!” You fumed “I just fucking got out of your way! Why the hell you’re so fucking mad?!” You inquired, smacking the counter, startling her for a second. She recovered fast though, mimicking you the next second.
  “Out of my way?!” She grunted “Do you ever think about anyone at all?! How did you think I’d feel when you refused him out of pity?!” She raised her voice, looking at you full of disgust “So I should thank your holy ass because you got out of my way?” She laughed humorlessly “Maybe I didn’t want you to get out! Maybe I wanted you in!”
  What the fuck now?
  “Take your head out of your butt once in your life! How do you think I felt seeing him liking you all this time?! Hm?! Did you think it was fun to watch me liking him when he liked you?!” You watched as the first tear rolled down her face “Did you think I’d be glad because you’re pitying me?!” She spat, looking away, trying to hide her tears streaming down her face.
  It was enough for you to calm down a little bit.
  “I don’t pity you” You said softly, and she scoffed, shaking her head in contempt.
  “Yeah? But you should!” She said bitterly “Did you know I liked him for two years?! Did you know how much I wanted to confess to him?! Do you know why I didn’t?!” It was hard to understand what she was saying; her voice sounding thick as she tried to hold back her tears, choking and sobbing as she tried to yell at you, all at the same time.
  “Paris, calm down” You asked, concerned, and she groaned once more, pressing her palms against her eyes before punching the counter.
  “Calm down?! I stepped away because I love you, Y/N! Because I love him!” her face was twisted in pain and regret, and you wanted to reach out for her but you didn’t, afraid of her reaction “You’re my best friend! I’d do anything for you! Anything!” She cried, hiccupping as she tried to recompose herself “You know how much it took for me to let him go so you could be with him? You shouldn’t reject him because of me! I can’t have gone through all this for nothing!” She yelled, devasted.
  “Why would you do that, Paris?” You were so confused right now, so lost in everything she was saying… She laughed, choking on her saliva before continuing, and you pondered about giving her your glass of water but the thought of a pissed Paris having a glass to throw at you demotivated you immediately.
   “Because you’re lonely!” She howled, whimpering, and trying to recompose herself once more.
   The silence was deafening.  
  “I… You… What?” You floundered, and she shut her eyes, sighing.
  “Because you’re lonely, Y/N… Because I know you need love in your life… Because I know Han can make you happy…” She dragged each sentence out of her chest, in a serious tone, crying toning down a bit, sounding utterly worn out “If what I have to do to make sure you end up happy is to step away and give up on him… Then I’d do it gladly” She concluded, and suddenly you could relate to her pained expression, scoffing in disbelief before breaking into a fit of laughter.
   You were fully aware you sounded crazy as you cackled up, smacking the counter over and over again as if she had just told you a hilarious joke. The laughter didn’t last for long, though, dying into your throat as your smacking turned harder each time until you were punching the counter, tears pouring out of your eyes uncontrollably. You shut your eyes closed, keeping hitting it nonstop until the pain you felt in your hand could cloud any other thought.
   “You call this friendship?” You gestured between both of you, voice trembling and breaking “You said I don’t think about anyone but what about you, Paris?” You asked bitterly, and when she averted her eyes, rage engulfed you “What about you, Paris?!” You yelled, smacking the counter once again “So you’re saying you did it all for me?! Out of pity?! Because I need love?!” You laughed humorlessly, shooting your head back to breathe deeply “I need a therapist, Paris! That’s what I need”
   You picked up your bag, glaring at her.
   “And you know what?! That’s what you need too!” You dropped your bag again, fuming “Giving up on someone you love because you think I need it more than you?! Don’t blame me for being a coward!” You scoffed, rolling your eyes “Do you want to be canonized or something? Do you think it makes you more worthy of love than me?” She gasped, trying to shake her head to deny it but you snorted and raised your hand for her to stop “Are you so desperate you’d do anything to be worthy of love? Am I so unworthy that you thought nobody but he could love me?” Your voice calmed down, the anger left behind to give way to an unwavering cold tone.
   “No, Y/N, that’s not what I mea—“ You picked up your bag, walking to the door “Where are you going?” She asked worried, trying to get closer to you.
   “Did you think that I might not love him back? Do you think I’m so desperate for love that I wouldn’t even think about my feelings? That I’d accept anything? Did you really think about my feelings at all?” You sighed, opening the door, ignoring her question “I don’t love him, Paris… I’m sorry you had to hold back your feelings all this time. I’m sorry it was so hard on you. I’m sorry for not coming up to your expectations…”
   You looked at her, deep in her eyes, and both of you held your urge to cry, looking at each other as if only hurt could dwell in your soul right now. Neither of you said anything, holding each other’s stare for a while, taking in the entire situation.
   “But all that…?” You gestured at her, hand fumbling in the air “It’s all on you” You stated seriously “Don’t blame me for things you decided by yourself… I have enough of this with my father, thank you very much” You snickered “If you were really glad to give up on him, you wouldn’t beam thinking I had something with Hyunjin, would you?” She bit her lips, averting her eyes embarrassed “Maybe you should think about why you’re so riled up about this… I didn’t reject him because I pity you, Paris…”
   You held up your breath before exhaling heavily, positioning yourself to get out. You hesitated for a second on the doorframe, facing the hall, back turned at her before voicing your thoughts once more,“But if you really wanna know, I think now I do” And with this being said, you closed the door, making sure to not look behind.

Haikyuu boys and some oddly specific crime they’d commit
a/n: I come back and the first thing I write is a shitpost!! enjoy </3 tw for drugs, murder, alcohol and general crime committing xoxo
Karasuno
Daichi- he’s a cop sorry that’s all there is to it man
Suga- Suga has multiple charges of 1st-degree murder against him but they can’t seem to find his identity so he continues committing murder and will continue until he gets caught or ends up murdering enough people to be put in a position of power
Asahi- everyone is probably like “Oh Asahi is innocent” NO. He has learned that his slightly scary face will let him get away with a lot, he is buying alcohol illegally because he looks old enough to, and he’s buying so much other shit and just getting away with it
Nishinoya- This man gives fucking pimp vibes I can just see him in the big leopard print fur coat with a pretty girl in his lap and he calls himself big poppa but no one else will
Tanaka- Drug dealer vibes, probably runs an entire fucking drug ring with his sister and not just a Lil weed these mfkas have the hard shit too like you could probably buy meth from them, he’s not using it but it’s good business
Ennoshita, Kinoshita, and Narita- They literally rob a bank they have an entire scheme and get away with multiple bank robberies and this goes on for MONTHS
Kageyama- We know he’s volleyball smart but otherwise he’s so mfing stupid and I love him for it but he is a chronic shoplifter. Just picks something up and takes it, has walked out of a store without paying for an entire bed set once and got away with it somehow so idk props to him
Hinata- He is the little guy in any heist situation, he fits anywhere so he can sneak in and out the best, he gave himself the stupid ass code name tiny giant but everyone goes with it because somehow he is the best
Tsukishima- armed robbery, but he doesn’t have a gun just a knife like he’s tall and as an attitude, a knife will get him whatever he needs he doesn’t need the gun
Yamaguchi- He runs a catfishing scheme where he pretends to be a naive girl, scams old men out of their money, and then ghosts them and I think it’s what he deserves let him carry on especially because no one would believe it’s him. Also not really like a crime crime but still a crime in a way
Kiyoko- She kills men and I know it, Queen Kiyoko ending the patriarchy one shitty man at a time like she only kills men who deserve it bc some have rights.
Yachi- She’s too anxious to commit an in-person crime so she does a lot of cybercrime, hacking government databases and releasing info to the people, truly the anonymous we deserve
Saeko- She’s running that drug ring with Tanaka, and she loves it because there’s a thrill to it even though yknow she’s dealing literal meth but like its fine plus she loves rocking people’s shit when they get too handsy, which bring me to my next point underground MMA Saeko, like the illegal one with no rules yeah <3
Ukai- this man probably sells all kinda shit to minors that he shouldn’t he is so unbothered a 7-year-old could probably walk in ask for a pack of camels and get them and leave before he noticed what was going on.
Takeda- Did y’all see how scared Hinata was when Takeda gave him that lecture? This dude could kidnap someone and scare them into giving all the information he needed, a legend truly
Aoba Johsai
Oikawa- took steroids one time. And of course in sports, that’s not allowed. But he only did it once and regretted it for months afterward. Never told anyone and was just relieved he didn’t have to piss in a cup and have someone find out.
Matsukawa- Without hesitation, I know this man takes dead people’s bones and sells them on the internet. Has dubbed himself the bone man and he feels so much power when someone buys a femur or sumn. It’s kinda funny honestly he has a hoard of bones to sell, his fave is the pelvis.
Hanamaki- He’s in between jobs because he stole money from his last job, like he said he was sorry he just needed a little extra for gas but was sad to find out that’s a literal crime and he was laundering money.
Iwaizumi- he’s a street racer, like the fast and furious style and it’s so sexy of him like late-night races ugh to be in an expensive fast car with him where he has one hand on my thigh okay that’s enough of that.
Kunimi- Look me in the eye and tell me he does not do drugs. He does and if you don’t believe me you are wrong and I will fight you on this one. 
Kyotani- If there is a crime he will commit it for fun. Like he will do it with no hesitation. He has a record longer than twilight and I’m not sure how he is not in prison actually nvm he escaped and is  a wanted criminal lol
Shiritorizawa
Ushijima- Assault, he just reeks of getting into bar fights when he’s absolutely wasted. Like he most likely didn’t start it but he will be finishing it
Tendou- grave robbing, he just goes into the cemetery picked the oldest plots, and gets to digging. Has made thousands on dead people jewelry and probably won’t get caught, like besides the groundskeeper there’s no security he will never stop.
Semi- he breaks copyright laws on the daily. He’s sampling music in his all the time but he’s doing it so sneakily it’s fine its what deserves stream his band on Spotify right now,
Shirabu- His bangs are criminal enough. No, but he has stolen drugs from the hospital before he just wanted to try the Xanax, and yeah he could just write himself a prescription for it nut like it’s so easy to just go get some and no report it so that’s what he did.
Goshiki- y’all want me to say arson don’t you?? Fine. He commits arson multiple times and kills 7 people with fire before getting arrested and he doesn’t even feel bad so in prison he probably fucking runs a gang he is crazy.
Nekoma
Kuroo- he is a capitalist and class traitor and that’s crime enough I don’t care is he’s attractive or rich, He commits crimes daily by just existing but I still love him anyway.
Kai- Could not commit a crime he just wants to garden and live his life. Jk there’s at minimum one body in that garden let him kill a man he deserves it just let him have one dead body
Yaku- he keyed someone’s car once just because they pissed him off. Was it kuroo? Yes. But that’s fine because he also keyed Lev’s car but blamed lev for keying kuroo’s and Kuroo for keying Lev’s. He just wants to watch the world burn.
Kenma- cyberbullying but man he is mean. Like no bars held we will dig into every insecurity he can and that shit hurts and he doesn’t even feel bad about it he will just be as mean as he can if you’re not careful
Lev- his crime is being tall and dumb also doesn’t understand the economy and prints counterfeit money because why can’t we print more money? The government should get on that.
Inuoka- He released all the animals from a zoo, like snuck in one night and just let them all free, I’m surprised the tiger didn’t eat him but hey the animals are free, there’s still some missing uh oh he’s very proud of himself for it. After the rush, he starts sneaking into shelters and freeing all the dogs and cats
Yamamoto and Fukunaga- Have egged a house before, it was Kuroo’s he deserves all this bullying and you can’t stop me.
Date Tech
Aone- Criminal Conspiracy, sure he had an entire foolproof plan to get away with the perfect crime but someone found out, and now his plans are ruined, damn </3 and no one ever suspects the quiet guy either.
Futakuchi- Having a prostitute, he just wanted some company like mans is lonely so he paid a girl to just spend a Lil time with him it’s all good.
Fukurodani
Bokuto- I know we all haha funny laugh at tax evader bokuto and sure maybe he evades his taxes but he’s also committed vehicular manslaughter, he cannot drive and has killed someone with his car maybe even multiple someones but he always drives off in a panic because he doesn’t know what else to do.
Akaashi- Hasn’t actively committed a crime but has been an accomplice in every vehicular manslaughter Bokuto has committed why the fuck does he keep letting bokuto drive? He really needs to stop that.
Konoha- A master scammer he is so convincing everyone gives him money even if they’re a little sus because he’s just that good each scheme is so convincing.
Inarizaki
Kita- He grows weed, you can’t tell me those rice fields are just for rice he’s got all this space he is growing marijuana and selling it, let him do it I want him to be my plug.
Atsumu- "What is my perfect crime? I break into Tiffany's at midnight. Do I go for the vault? No, I go for the chandelier. It's priceless. As I'm taking it down, a woman catches me. She tells me to stop. It's her father's business. She's Tiffany. I say no. We make love all night. In the morning, the cops come and I escape in one of their uniforms. I tell her to meet me in Mexico, but I go to Canada. I don't trust her. Besides, I like the cold. Thirty years later, I get a postcard. I have a son and he's the chief of police. This is where the story gets interesting. I tell Tiffany to meet me in Paris by the Trocadero. She's been waiting for me all these years. She's never taken another lover. I don't care. I don't show up. I go to Berlin. That's where I stashed the chandelier."
Osamu- resisting arrest. He just said no and ran. Granted he shouldn’t have punched the cop in the first place to have to be arrested but like that’s not the point here.
Aran- accidental child abandonment, like he just forgot he was babysitting and left the kid alone for like a day. He felt terrible but he still forgot the kid and now is fearful of parenthood
Suna- owns an illegal weapon, like he just never registered it and keeps it around and would use it if needed Suna please just point the weapon at me maybe

Sakusa- Perjury he simply wanted to get out of court so he said some shit so he could leave granted he lied under oath but whatever, did they ever find out? No, so he’s fine and he’d do it again if it meant he could leave faster. Like sure he was a witness to a murder but bruh he pretends he does not see.
Hoshihumi- driving without a license he simply thought you didn’t need one because why do you need a piece of plastic to say you can drive a car like??? Just know how to drive it.

---------------------------------
Placing your phone back into your purse, you stared out the window, watching the busy streets blend into trees and snow. Stupid snow. You were lost in your own head, thinking about the meeting with your parents. Which had gone... surprisingly well.
Your mother was fairly civil to you - as well as the waitstaff - and your father actually had a serious conversation with you.
It was one of the weirdest days of your life... and you lived with a bunch of superheroes.
Seeing your parents like this, after so many years of loathing, arguing, controlling... You weren't sure where your relationship stood.
Though, it was nice to gain at least a little clarification and get everything out in the open.
They'd apologized for the way they treated you in your youth, as well as the way they treated Bucky. You'd apologized for all the shit you'd said to them before you'd moved away, as well as keeping them pushed away in your adult years. The excuses your mother had for acting like a controlling robot were just... sad. She talked about how your grandmother treated her the same - if not worse. She was the way she was because she wanted you to be better than her. No wonder you've never actually met your grandparents in person. Your mother hated her parents. Almost as much as you'd hated yours... until now.
Now... You just had sympathy. Not that it excused any of the behaviors over the years, but you understood now.
It seemed as if she'd convinced herself that the way that she raised you made you the positive person that you were, today. Which was true to some extent. It was recovering from the way you were raised that made you the person you were today. You may have been comfortable with money, but money wasn't everything behind closed doors. Money didn't solve the problems that you'd dealt with in your youth. In fact, it was living the stereotype of a rich family that had caused the majority of your problems. It was the cold, brash emotions modeled by your parents that made you want to be different. The controlled diets, the need to hide emotions and compartmentalize, the forced dating, the fights, the lying, the fake public image... it was dealing with those things after you'd escaped it that made you the person you are today.
Personal growth, and all that jazz.
After the emotional bit of the dinner, you'd actually enjoyed yourself. Your parents asked you about your job, the first day you met Bucky, college, your friends, and everything else they hadn't been a part of for the last decade or so.
They told you about their trip to Paris, where your mother had tripped over a crack in the pavement and they spent half the day in the emergency room so she could get stitches. They told you about how they got their entire office to donate a large sum of money to Bucky's charity that he had been running. They told you about the day that they realized that they needed a change of scenery from California.
It was almost... normal.
If you even knew what normal was.
"Y/n?" You heard Happy's muffled voice, followed by a light tapping on the cool window. He hadn't opened the car door, because your head was leaned against it. "You ready to rock and roll?"
"You're such a dad." You giggled, grabbing your purse and leftovers as he opened the door for you, "Speaking of dads, are you going to become Peter's step-"
"I DON'T-" He paused, taking a breath through his nose and blowing it out of his mouth, "I don't want to talk about that."
"Happy and Mae, sitting in a tree..." You sang, grinning as you skipped past him, "K-I-S-S-I-N-G."
"You're such a child." He rolled his eyes, slamming your door closed and walking to the driver's door.
"You love me, anyways." You pulled open the front door to the compound, leaving Happy to bring the car over to the garage.
You removed your coat the moment you stepped into the heated building, throwing it over your arm and hiding the bag of leftovers and Bucky's surprise. Glancing around, you saw the lobby was nearly empty, save for a few agents using the lobby to cut to the other wing.
Glancing over to the front desk, a grin spread over your face as you took in the sight in front of you.
Caleb was snoring loudly, mouth hanging open, head tipped back, and his feet up on the desk. The book you'd given him for his birthday was open, resting on his stomach like he had fallen asleep reading in his chair.
"FRIDAY, can you please do me a favor and record this please?" You whispered into your watch, sneaking over to the sleeping agent. "Send it to my tablet when it's done."
You were glad you wore flats instead of heels, so your shoes made no noise against the hard floors as you snuck behind the desk. You kept out of swinging distance, grabbing a clipboard off his desk and readying yourself for whatever happened.
"CALEB, WAKE UP!" You screamed loudly, slamming the clipboard repeatedly on the desk. "CALEB, THE SKY IS FALLING!"
He let out a loud shout, limbs flailing around, and chair tipping backwards. "I WASN'T SLEEPING." The obnoxious laugh you let out made his face scrunch up in confusion from the floor, "Y/n?" He glanced around, springing up gracefully and surveying the empty lobby before sending you a glare, "Rude."
You couldn't reply, leaning against the desk and tossing the clipboard in front of him, hysterical laughter echoing through the nearly-empty lobby. "I- You- Oh- Dying." You wheezed, trying to calm your laughter before you peed yourself, wiping the tears from under your eyes, "Oh my god."
"I'm glad my fear brings you such joy, you awful human being." Caleb grumbled, crossing his arms over his chest and leaning back in his chair, "I hate you so much right now."
"I brought you dessert." You replied, finally able to pull your shit together, grabbing a box out of the big bag you were carrying. "It's chocolate and peanut butter cheesecake."
"I hate you less, now. You are forgiven." He lunged forward, a large smile on his face. "Gimme', gimme', gimme'."
You handed him the box, shaking your head and glancing at your watch, "I'm beat. I'm gunna' head up."
"Your soulmate is an asshole, by the way." Caleb informed you, mouth full of cheesecake, "He kept telling me he's going to get Claire an obscene amount of slime for Christmas." He glanced up at you with narrow eyes, "I'll hurt all of you if you get her slime, or anything else with loose glitter. My kitchen table is ruined."
"I cannot confirm nor deny that we got her slime for christmas." You shouted, jogging towards the elevator. "Love youuuuu."
"Fuck youuuuu." He sang back at you, as you disappeared from sight.
"My floor, please, FRIDAY." You requested as the doors to the elevator opened and you got in, "Is Bucky in his room?"
"Yes, Ma'am." FRIDAY replied.
Leaning against the wall, you inhaled deeply through your nose - trying to dispel any weird feelings in your gut. Ever since you'd left dinner with your parents, your shoulders felt lighter... but there was a sense of unease in your belly. You'd never expected in a million years that you'd actually have a relationship with your parents where they communicated with you in a semi-healthy way.
Was this real life?
Honestly, it felt like you were in a simulation or something.
Nothing felt normal anymore.
When the lift doors opened, a wave of delicious smells hit your nose - and you followed the scent to the kitchen, calling out, "Who's cooking delicious-smelling food?"
"That'd be me." Sam called, head in the fridge as he searched for something in the back, "Where the fuck did my strawberries go?"
"That'd be your not-so-little buddy Steve." You chuckled, watching as Sam glared at the fridge before moving back to the stove in a huff. It was actually Bucky, but you weren't about to snitch on your soulmate. "What are you making?"
"God dammit." He grumbled, stirring whatever was in the giant pot, "I'm getting a mini fridge in my room. This 'sharing' business is pissing me off."
"Sam. Food."
He turned to you with a grin, "Momma Wilson's famous lasagna soup."
"They make lasagna in soup form?" You frowned, walking over to the stove to inspect, confirming the fact that he had - indeed - made soup out of lasagna ingredients. It was confirmed by the broken-up lasagna noodles floating up to the surface, and the red sauce littered with spices. God, that smelled good... "Where'd your mom come up with this, and can I have the recipe?"
"Nope. Special made by only me." He shook his head, shooing you away with the spoon. "Go away. You already ate."
There goes getting the granola bar... Sam would totally snitch.
"Save me some for later?" You stuck out your lip in a pout, giving him your best innocent face.
He rolled his eyes, turning away from you and stirring his soup, "We'll see."
You giggled, turning away and walking towards the living quarters with a pep in your step, "I appreciate you."
"Yeah, yeah." You heard him grumble, "Since you do my paperwork..."
"And I do a fabulous job!" You called in sing-song, rounding the corner into the hallway and feeling giddy about bringing Bucky his surprise.
He'd been talking about how he'd been craving French Silk Pie, and you just so happened to spot a few slices left at the restaurant. The manager had recognized you from the photo of you and Bucky at the sushi restaurant and seeing you in that interview, and had offered to slip in a few extra slices of pie for next to nothing... so you'd taken a page from Bucky's book and tipped the staff an obscene amount.
Bucky was going to shit when he saw how many pieces of pie you were coming back with.
"FRIDAY can you unlock the door for me, please?" You called out quietly, listening to the door click as it unlocked. "Thank you." As you pushed open the door, you spotted your handsome soulmate sitting at his desk, sharpening a knife carefully. "You planning on murdering me with that, or what?"
"Ha-Ha. Very funny." He deadpanned, eyes trained on the knife as he examined it, "If I was going to murder you, stabbing you to death would be too messy."
"Comforting." You chuckled, shutting the door behind you and hanging your coat on the back of the door and laying the plastic bag full of food on his bed. You reached behind you to unzip your dress, heading over to his closet to grab a shirt to lounge around in. "I buy you a delicious treat, and you plot my murder."
"If it makes you feel better, I'm also looking at files for the new recruits." He replied, voice sounding really far away. "Jennings looks promising."
You frowned, pulling his shirt over your head. Trying to feel him out through the bond. He seemed... neutral. It was weird. Not upset, but also not happy. Peeking around the corner, trying to be sneaky, you watched him as he read through another recruit file flipping the knife around skillfully. He didn't look tense. He also didn't look like he was concentrating on the file, either.
"Why are you staring at me?" He asked suddenly, not turning around. His hair looked messy, like he'd been running his hand through it.
"Why are you being weird?" You asked, walking over to the bed and grabbing one of the small to-go boxes out of the bag. Setting it on his desk with a plastic fork, you leaned down and wrapped your arms around him from behind - resting your chin on his shoulder. "I got you french silk pie."
He turned his head, pressing a small kiss on your bare arm. "Thanks, sweetheart."
You didn't think you could frown any further, but you were wrong.
He was totally being weird.
"Okay, okay." You moved away from him, sitting on the edge of his bed and grabbing one of the pie slices. "What's wrong with you? What are you hiding from me? You're too... neutral."
"Nothing's wrong with me." He replied, not turning around. "I'm not hiding anything."
Bullshit!
"Lies." You sang out, digging into your piece of pie. "Can't bullshit a bullshitter. Especially when she's connected to you emotionally through a magical soulmate bond." You shoved a bite into your mouth, realizing that you'd grabbed one of the apple pie slices. A pang of annoyance nudged you in the chest, and you rolled your eyes, "You can be annoyed all you want, but that's not telling me what's up with you."
He sighed, leaning his head back for a moment, before spinning around in his chair and giving you a look of annoyance. "If I tell you, will you let up?"
"Maybe." You smirked, taking another bite of pie.
"I..." He looked down, picking at one of the plates in his hand - a nervous tick. "I talked to Tony, today."
Oh.
Oh shit.
You hoped it was a productive conversation. It had to have been, if Bucky wasn't upset. Then again, he was attempting to hide his feelings from you. Maybe it wasn't, and he didn't want to tell you?
You set your dessert down on the bed, leaning forward in interest, "And...?"
"He..." Bucky cleared his throat, not looking at you. "He wants to have us see Dr. Collins." He finally looked up at you, eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "Together."
You smiled, relief washing through you. This was good. If they saw Dr. Collins together, they might get to the root of their issues in a positive way that didn't include destroying the building... one can hope.
So why did Bucky look like someone pissed in his coffee?
"This is good, right?" You asked, confused. "Progress?"
"Yeah." He mumbled, looking back down at the dark, metal plates in his hand. "I guess."
"But...?"
"But-" His leg started bouncing up and down, and you could feel the nervous energy outside of the bond. "I'm a little... afraid about..." He sighed, shaking his head and closing his beautiful blue eyes, "I don't know. Doing all this-" He seemed to be struggling for the right words. "-opening up."
You nodded along as he paused, waiting for him to continue.
"What if... what if he still hates me in the end?" He rushed out, leg still bouncing. "I'm just... I'm so sick of people hating me for something I did when I was... him." He stood up, beginning to pace back and forth, and you had a feeling that he was about to explode. "I'm trying so hard. SO HARD. I..." He stopped, rubbing his hands over his face in frustration. "I just... I hate what he did. I hate this. I don't want to go through all of this just for Tony to still hate me in the end."
He sat back down in his chair, hand running through his growing hair and leaning his elbows on his knees, "I'm just... I don't like this nervous feeling. That's why I was trying to hide my feelings. Because... I don't want to feel them." He looks back up at you, blue eyes full of sadness that hurt your heart. "Sometimes I feel like it's easier being him. He doesn't feel anything, and I barely remember half the shit he did."
"Bucky..." You sighed, standing up and moving to sit on his lap, wrapping your arms around his middle and leaning the side of your head against his shoulder. "It's understandable that you don't want to feel the hard feelings. They suck ass." He snorted at your words, arms wrapping around you, but you kept going, "But you're human. Even if you're a supersoldier with some crazy serum running through your veins, you're human. Feelings make you human. Feelings make you Bucky, instead of him." You looked up at him, as his arms tightened around you. "I'm not going to pretend I'm Dr. Collins and say something irritatingly profound, but... I think you know exactly what Dr. Collins would say."
"Yeah, yeah, I know." He sighed, pressing his face into the top of your head - warm breath sending a shiver down your spine. "He's annoying."
"He may be annoying, but he knows what's up." You chuckled, turning your head so you were looking into his icy eyes, "You know I love you, right?"
"Yeah, I know." He smiled, crinkles forming at the corners of his eyes, "I love you, too."
Shifting around, you moved so your arms were wrapped around his shoulders and your face was level with his, "I brought you french silk pie."
"You spoil me." He grinned, arms around your middle, "How'd your dinner with your parents go?"
You grimaced, rolling your eyes, "It was weird. It kind of feels like those two hours were a dream. I don't believe that my parents actually had a real conversation with me." He raised an eyebrow at you and you huffed out a sigh, "Yeah. Yeah. I'm happy. I'm glad that we can finally talk, but... it's just weird. I don't really know how to process it."
"Finally going to be one big, happy family, huh?" He laughed, poking you in the side. "Like The Brady Bunch?"
"First of all, when the hell did you have time to watch The Brady Bunch without me?" You narrowed your eyes at him, raising a brow in question, "Second of all, there's only three of us."
"I didn't watch it," He rolled his eyes, shaking his head at you before standing and setting you on the bed, turning around and grabbing his container of pie, "I read about it."
"STOP DOING THAT!!" You whined in annoyance, throwing a chunk of your apple pie at him. Oh my god, if he kept fucking doing that... "You need to actually watch these things! Stop reading the plot on Wikipedia! It's not the same!"
"I read faster than I watch!" He took a huge bite of his pie, crumbs falling onto the floor. "I can read the plot in a fourth of the time it would take to watch the whole thing." After another obnoxiously large bite of his pie, he set the container back on the desk, moving towards the bed, "If I try and catch up on all the shows and movies I missed over the last century, I'll be biologically ninety before I'm caught up."
As he moved the bag of containers to the floor, you held the slice of apple pie closer to your chest, "I'm not sharing my pie." You took another bite of the sweet pie, the taste of cinnamon on your tongue. He kept moving closer, and you turned your body away from him holding the pie away from him, "NO! You can't have my pie! You have your own!"
"If you don't put it on the nightstand it's going to be in the bed." He warned, an evil look in his eye. "I'm giving you three seconds."
You yelped, attempting to scarf down the obscenely large and sweet piece of pie as fast as you could.
"Three."
You scrambled away from him, but his arm wrapped around your middle as you continued to shovel the food in your face.
"Two."
"NO!!! I'm TRYING!" You giggled, tossing the fork onto the floor, but unable to reach the nightstand with the container full of whipped cream and a large chunk of pie still sticking in the container. You shrieked out a laugh as he tackled you into the bed, the slice of pie completely smearing all over your face and hair. "BUCKY!!"
"One."

Tumblr media
Thanks! @carlaangel86​ <3
Coco chuckled as he watched Alena take another shot. His baby sister called him over to San Diego and he decided to bring Riz over with him. Whenever Alena called he came and along with all his other brothers. They all had such a soft spot for Alena.
“Damn, so Monica is Cruz’s teacher? I mean, it’s been years, I’m sure it’s not a worry.” Riz reasoned with Alena.
“Doesn’t matter, he’ll be single soon and it’ll be just like all those romantic comedies and my Korean dramas.” Alena laughed before taking another shot. “It’s so smooth, I love drinking with you two. I hope we can still hang out once Angel and I are divorced.”
“Shut the fuck up Alena, we would disown Angel first before we would disown you.” Coco shook his head. “Why wasn’t Angel invited?”
“I don’t want to see Angel. We don’t always have to be together.”
Riz laughed. “Right, you tell him that.”
Angel has been blowing up Coco and Riz’s phone ever since they got to Alena’s. He was upset that he wasn’t invited, but he had to stay in Santo Padre and be with Cruz. Alena was in San Diego since she had a work emergency. 
“When was the longest time you didn’t see Angel? Was it the time he served?” Coco questioned. The club truly pulled through for Angel then, taking care of Alena and Cruz when he served time in jail a few years ago. 
It was a hellish 18 months and Cruz was only two years old. Alena held on strong and when he got out, Coco thought Angel would get his head out of his ass, he almost did, but this thing with the rebels popped through.
“Yeah, it was.” Alena frowned remembering that time. It was hard for her to be apart from Angel, but she tried to visit him all the time. His sentence was cut short to 18 months instead of the slated three. She was incredibly thankful for that. She documented every move Cruz made.
“Why didn’t you tell him how you felt when he got out?” Coco really hated watching this whole thing between Alena and Angel, mostly due to Alena. 
She was too good for him Angel. Not in the sense people thought, but more of the fact that, Alena was too kind to Angel. Out of her pure love for Angel, she stood by him regardless of his actions because she wanted to be there for him. He shouldn’t push her, but he wanted to. They were fucking adults, it was time to end the games.
“So when are you going to confess to Angel?” Riz questioned.
“The way I see it, you have nothing to lose Lenny.” Again, Coco was playing Devil’s Advocate, but maybe if Alena confessed, Angel would get his head out of his ass.
Alena was silent for a moment. She had nothing to lose, Coco was right. This also maybe the large amount of alcohol she consumed, but as people always said, her mother raised no bitch. “Fuck it, I’m going to call him.” Alena picked up her phone.
Riz and Coco picked up their shot glasses, encouraging her.
“Damn right, fuck social norms and tell that mother fucker you love him.” Riz encouraged. 
“You’re right!” Alena giggled, taking a swig straight from the Soju bottle. “Angel doesn’t love me, so the fuck what? I love him and he’s going to know.” 
Angel listened to Alena talking to whoever the fuck she was talking to, though he assumed it’s Coco and Riz since they told him that they would be going to Alena’s apartment. He wasn’t worried, he trusted them, but he was still antsy. His heart rate increased hearing Alena tell his brothers that she loved him, even if he didn’t love her.
He couldn’t wait to confess to this silly girl, the woman who’s had him since he could remember. 
“Cielo?” He called for her attention.
“Angel,” she dreamily greeted him. “How are you?”
“I’m good baby girl, are you doing okay?” He smirked, loving that tint of pink on her cheeks.
Alena nodded her head, biting her lip. “Do you have company?”
“Yeah baby, Cruz, but he’s asleep.” Angel moved his camera so she could see Cruz.
“My baby!” Alena squealed a little too loudly. She covered her mouth, giggling with Riz and Coco laughing in the background. 
“You having fun?”
“Always, they’re my favorite Mayans!” She blew kisses at the two who pretended to catch it. 
“What about me?” Angel pouted.
“You’re in a different league.” Alena scoffed, before she laughed. Angel loved seeing Alena so damn carefree. He just wished he was with her right now. “Angel, want to know a secret?” She moved closer to the screen, so she could whisper it to him. Drunk Alena was absolutely adorable, but she was also handsy. “I love you, not as a best friend, older brother type of love, which is disgusting, but I’m in love with you. I would give up anything for you. And I did, I gave up Paris for you because I just wanted you to have Cruz. When I first saw you hold Cruz, you should have seen the smile on your face.” 
Riz and Coco watched as Alena confessed to Angel. They slightly regretted encouraging her, but Alena needed this, so did Angel, Alena might not remember, which was fine, that’s what they’re here for, to record the whole thing. 
Angel felt his heart clenched as he watched the tears fall from Alena’s eyes. He wasn’t sure what Riz and Coco gave his wife, but he was appreciating this. It was definitely different to hear from Alena that she was going to walk away from him.
“I just want you to love me Angel. I want you to see me as more than a friend, I want you to love me, to hold me, to just be here for me.” Angel didn’t want Alena’s confession like this, but he figured this was as honest as he was going to get her without her self doubt plaguing her mind. “I remember during prom, I wanted you to take me because it would have been a magical night, but you took Emily’s friend to help EZ out. Then after that, every other woman came and you know, that’s okay, because you were happy. But I wanted you to look at me just once and tell me I was beautiful, that your eyes were only for me.” Alena wiped her eyes. “When I told you my coach was touching me inappropriately, you made no hesitation and helped me. When I told my father he accused me of not wanting to swim anymore, an ungrateful child. Then he kicked me out and you and your family took me in. I wanted to end my life, but it’s like you knew because you were always there when I was losing myself.” 
Riz and Coco’s heart broke as Alena told Angel how she felt. They always knew their relationship ran deep, but this was something else. Riz never knew about Alena’s coach, but Coco did. He also knew why Alena let the motherfucker touch him. Thinking about not having Alena in their lives, if she was successful with ending it all, their lives would be much dimmer, darker. And Angel wouldn’t be what he was, an obnoxious loved up puppy, who was honestly one of the best fathers’ they knew.
“But I know that you like being the hero, to take care of someone, which is why you tolerate me. I want to let you know that you don’t have to anymore. I love you, and because I do, I’m going to let you go. Fifteen years, I’ve been in love with you for fifteen years.” Alena smiled such a broken smile that Coco and Riz almost reached for her phone, but they were frozen. It was like she needed this, this had to happen. “You have Cruz now and when we divorce you’re free to do whatever you please, just please don’t take Cruz away from me. He’ll be all I have of you. I know he’s technically your son, but he’s my son too.”
Angel gripped the phone harder, the tears streaming down his face. Is this what he did to her? Is this how much he’s hurt her? He could never take Cruz away from her, he could never be away from her, neither of them could.
Alena took another drink of the bottle. “Want to know something pathetic?”
“Alena.” His voice was broken, running his fingers through his hair as the burden on Alena’s shoulders came out. 
“No, listen.” She placed her index finger against her lips, telling him to not speak. “I knew what I was getting into, knew what would happen if I let you in, but I didn’t care. For once, I felt like you saw me and it felt so good. We were a family, you, me and Cruz. You always made me feel wanted and loved during those brief moments that you would show how much you care for me. Dumb stupid and naive Alena.” She let out a sob, wiping the snot coming from her nose. “Every time I’m about to walk away you always reel me back in, but not this time. I’m letting you go, not to be with Victor or anything, but so you can meet the love of your life and have a family with her. I really wished we had a child, just so I can have them and Cruz.” She managed to smile into the camera. Finishing the bottle, she placed it on the table, not even registering Angel’s reaction to this whole thing. “I love you Angel Ignacio Reyes, and because of that, I wish you a lifetime of happiness and love, even without me. You don’t have to protect me anymore, remind me of my silly appointments and medication refills, you’ll be worry free, just like my father when he walked away from me. I won’t burden you with myself anymore.” She looked up at Riz and Coco. They could tell she was barely holding it together. The two looked at the broken young woman before them and immediately stood up. Riz took Alena, crushing her onto his chest while Coco took the phone. He looked at Angel who was a sobbing mess as well.
“I’m on my way.” 
EZ immediately came to take care of Cruz. He didn’t ask any questions, especially seeing how distraught Angel was and the fact he spoke to him. Angel got on his motorcycle and sped all the way to San Diego. When he arrived, Riz and Coco were on the couch, solemnly drinking. They looked up at him, ashamed of what occurred.
“Hermano, it wasn’t supposed to happen like that. She was telling us how much she loves you and we just encouraged her to confess to you since she had nothing to lose, we knew she had nothing to lose.” Coco sniffled, wiping his eyes. “I didn’t expect for her to,” Coco sighed. “You have to fix this Angel, Alena deserves better than this.”
“Where is she?” 
“Her room, she worked herself up and had an asthma attack.” Riz frowned. “She’s fine, we remembered how to use her nebulizer and gave her medications. She’s better now.”
“Thank you.” Angel’s eyes were locked on Alena’s closed door. “You two know where the futon and shit is.”
“Don’t worry about it, we got it. Just take care of your wife.” Coco’s heart broke watching Alena work herself up. They wanted to give Alena the night off, to release her inhibitions, but not like this. They both knew they wouldn’t leave till they saw Alena up and breathing later on in the day. 
Angel quickly made his way to her room, quietly opening and closing the door. He found Alena on the bed, still crying but not as worked up. She didn’t even get up to check who it was.
“Coco, can you get me more Soju, I feel like it’s leaving my body.” Alena giggled. “I can smell Angel.” 
Angel would have laughed if he wasn’t hurting so much. He did all of this shit to Alena, he hurt her so much. No amount of groveling would ever forgive his sins, but from now on, he was going to make sure he would treat her better, be better for her.
He was in such distress, he didn’t even put on his kutte. He just had sweatpants on and a hoodie. Taking off his hoodie, he placed it on Alena’s chair. Alena was facing her side of the bed. He put one knee on her bed and Alena still didn’t turn to face him. He laid on his side, placing a hand on her hip.
“Hey baby,” he whispered into her ear as he made himself comfortable.
Alena turned to face him then, her eyes were red from all the crying, eyelids puffy. She smiled and placed her hand on his cheek.
“Oh man, I must have drank so much, I’m imagining that Angel is here.” She caressed his cheek. “Hello Imaginary Angel, you feel and smell real.”
Angel had to smile at that. “You doing okay?” He brushed her hair back, making Alena close her eyes.
“Yes Imaginary Angel.” She offered him a small smile. “I hope Real Angel doesn’t hate me because of everything I put him through.”
“Alena, I could never hate you.” He felt his tears well up again. Hearing Alena say all those things, how she was going to kill herself, how he tolerated her, and how she was a burden, it shattered Angel’s heart. How could she even think that? “How can you think you’re a burden to me? That I tolerate you?”
“Because everyone does. I’m the girl that everyone walks all over and forgets. I’m the one that everyone needs till I serve my purpose. I’m the one that gives, because I want to help everyone. I’m sickly, weak, and everyone just tolerates me because they need me.” Alena took her hand off Angel’s face, placing it in between them. “All the women who befriended me wanted an in with Real Angel, EZ or my brother. Carla is the only person I genuinely have. Real Angel likes being the hero, he feels second best to his brother, which is crazy because he’s better than EZ. He has a big heart and he always saved me when I needed him. Maybe you can visit me imaginary Angel, so I won’t miss real Angel as much.” She closed her eyes, covering her mouth as she coughed. “I’m preparing for the day he walks away, but it’s really hard.” Her eyes opened, a few tears falling from her eyes, her voice breaking as she said the last word. Her voice was just above a whisper.
Fuck, Alena was killing him.
“Alena, listen to me. I love you, I really do, I’m sorry I took as long as I did, but you’re the love of my life. It’s not about tolerating you, you’re never been a burden to me. If anything, I felt you were tolerating me. That I was burdening you. You do so much for me and I’m a fucking idiot for never noticing. I’ve taken advantage of you, but never again.” And that was a promise. “You’ve done so much for me and Cruz. He loves you as much as I love you, maybe even more. You’re our life Alena. Don’t prepare for a life without me, because there is no life without you.”
Alena giggled, pinching Angel’s cheek. She wiped her eyes with the back of her hand. “Imaginary Angel is saying all the things I want real Angel to say. I hope you visit me often when Angel divorces me.” Alena snuggled closer to him, resting her head on his chest. He wrapped his arms around her running his fingers through her hair.  “Imaginary Angel, I love Angel so much. Want to know a secret? The coach told me that if I didn’t let him touch me, that he would hurt Angel, cause he noticed how Angel always waited for me after practice. But don’t tell Angel because I never told him.” 
Angel froze hearing Alena’s words. 
That motherfucker did what now?
No, Alena would have told him.
No.
He pulled away from her and noticed how heavy her eyes were she was getting sleepy.
“Alena, hey, wake up.” He cupped her face, softly rubbing his thumb on her cheek.
Her eyes fluttered open, giving him a sleepy smile.
“Please tell me that isn’t true, please don’t tell me it is.”
“About the coach? It was imaginary Angel, he told me that if I told anyone, no one would believe me. That real Angel wouldn’t want me anymore cause I was tainted.” Alena intertwined their hands in between them. “He told me to think of real Angel while he was touching me, that I would enjoy it more. I didn’t, and he would get mad and hit me.” Alena frowned, looking at Angel’s chest as she spoke. “He tried to rape me the day Angel took that video of us. I never told Angel that my father let him in our home and he touched me there too. My father trusted him because he was the son of an old friend.”
Angel sat up, he couldn’t take it. Alena didn't do this, not for him. He wasn’t worth it. How could she let that happen? The rage within him was strong, beyond anything he ever felt. That motherfucker touched his precious Alena, using him for her nightmare.
He was going to find this motherfucker and he was going to kill him.
“Imaginary Angel, real Angel has been my hero and I would never want anyone to hurt him.”
“So it’s okay for you to be hurt for me?” Angel didn’t mean to be harsh, but he was angry.
“I can take it, for him I could. I’m strong to you know, for him and Cruz I am.”
“Alena,” Angel wiped his tears, running his fingers through his hair. “Why didn’t you tell me? You had every opportunity to do so, why didn’t you tell me?”
“Because he said he would hurt real Angel, I couldn’t risk that. Angel is all I have. My family could turn their backs on me, but he never did.” Alena looked down at him. “Can you hold me again imaginary Angel, you feel like real Angel and I just want to cherish every moment we have left together. Please come visit me when he’s gone.”
Angel hated that she was preparing for this life without him. That she was preparing to endure for him again as long as he was happy. He always planned on being better for Alena, but he definitely was this time around. There was no way Alena was going to do this again, keep things to herself. They were a team, a unit and he was going to have her believe it.
Angel immediately held her. He couldn’t stop the tears from coming down from his eyes. He was going to fix this, Alena would never have to feel this type of pain again. Once everything settled, he was going to find that coach and fucking kill him, something he should have done ages ago.
“It’s going to kill me to see him with someone else.” Alena was running her fingers up and down his back.
“You’re never going to see that cause I love you and only you.” Angel knew this reassurance wouldn’t register, but he would prove it to her.
Alena laughed. “Imaginary Angel, you really are saying everything I want Real Angel to say. You know, I hope he dates Adelita when we divorce. She would be good for him, he needs a strong woman to hold him down. Or maybe Monica, cause she’s good with kids and she was the one that got away.”
“You don’t think you’re strong cielo? You’re the strongest person I know.” And she was. For having to deal with him, Alena was the strongest person he knew. This was killing him. How could he want anyone else when he had her? “She isn’t the one that got away Alena, I willingly let her go.”
“Real Angel really loved her. And now she’s back, it’s like a romantic movie.” He heard her voice crack at her last word. He told her not to worry about it when they dropped off Cruz a few days ago, it was silly of him to think it would register or sink in for Alena.
“Alena, I fucking told you, Monica doesn’t mean anything to me.” 
“It’s okay, Imaginary Angel, you’re really boosting my confidence.” Alena giggled. 
“You’re driving me insane Alena. I don’t need anyone else, but you. If there is anyone that would be the one that got way, it would be you and that’s never going to happen.” Angel was determined to make Alena his, at least in her eyes because for everyone else, it’s been them for a long time. 
“Victor told me that he was going to help me become stronger. He’s such a nice guy. I would date him just so it’ll make the aching for Angel less.”
Yeah, that wasn’t going to happen.
“That’s not going to happen Alena, I told you, it’s you and me. I’m not going to divorce you.”
“Maybe not you imaginary Angel.” Alena giggled again, rubbing her face against his chest. “You’re so warm. Want to know what sucks?”
“What?”
“I let Victor kiss me to see how it felt and it was nothing compared to Real Angel.” Alena sighed. “I’m pathetic. Everyone is compared to Angel, but I’m sure all the girls Angel dated, I fail in comparison to, especially Monica.” That wasn’t true. They failed in comparison to her. “When that woman was sewing his patch on, that hurt. But Angel was moving up in the club and I was so happy. I’m really going to have to avoid him, which is why I’m moving to New York.”
Angel did not like all the revelations that were going on. 
“New York?”
“Sssh, don’t tell Real Angel. Victor has been talking to me about this art program there and I really want to try. It would help since my life revolves around Angel. I’ll still be here for Cruz and visit him whenever I can, but I’m going to leave, unlike Paris, I’m going to go and nothing is going to stop me.”
She was doing it again. She was plotting to leave him.
Jokes on her because that just wasn’t happening.
“You think I would let you go?”
Alena pulled away from him, looking up at Angel.
“Well hopefully you don’t imaginary Angel, you’re going to keep me sane.” She bopped his nose with her finger. “But real Angel won’t care, he already has Cruz, I’m not useful anymore. Remember I told you, everyone cares till I’m no longer useful and I’m not. Geez, pay attention.” She laughed. “He can be with Monica.”
Angel wanted to shake Alena. How could she even think he wouldn’t care about her leaving him? How could she think Monica was the one that got away? That was hardly the case. Most of all, how could she think that he was going to throw her away because she was no longer useful? This was ridiculous.
“I know this isn’t registering to you right now, but I’m going to prove to you that I love you and I’m worth it. You’re the love of my life Alena, I would never let you go. I’m a selfish bastard and that’s fine, as long as I have you. I would be lost without you.”
Alena remained silent. And Angel wasn’t sure if she fell asleep.
“You think he’ll miss me.”
“I always miss you.”
Alena’s breathing evened out, her body relaxing against his. Angel laid on his back, placing Alena’s head on his chest. He was done with the games. His girl needed him and he would give her the world, whatever it took.
Angel reluctantly left Alena since he didn’t want her to freak out knowing he came to San Diego. He knew Alena wouldn’t be ready to talk about it, he wouldn’t push her either. So now, he was waiting with Cruz anxiously as Alena made her way down from San Diego. Coco and Riz stayed and he requested for them not to mention anything. This was between him and Alena.
The door opened and Cruz immediately jumped down the couch.
“Mama!” He ran over to Alena and she picked him up, showering him with kisses. 
“Hey Cruzie,” she cooed, rubbing their noses together. “Mama missed you.”
“I missed you!” He wrapped his arms around her neck. He peppered her with kisses as well making Alena smile.
Angel stood up and walked over to Alena. He took Cruz and placed him on the ground, making the young boy frown.
“Daddy, it’s Cruzie and mommy time.” He crossed his arms over his chest.
“I know little man. Daddy deserves love too.” Angel chuckled. He couldn’t help it. He hugged her, pulled away, cupped her face and kissed her. “Hey baby.” He pecked her lips one more time before stepping away. He saw the blush on her cheeks as she smiled, looking down at Cruz, not wanting to meet Angel’s gaze. He wasn’t obtuse of the effect he had on her, but after last night, he knew to not take advantage of what he had with Alena. His heart was still hurting.
She let that despicable man touch her to protect him. 
The rage he felt was indescribable. He felt powerless because he should have ended this man’s life. Alena told him it was only for a few months, but he doubted that now.
He was certain that it was ongoing for more than six months and that hurt him again. His precious Alena endured for him and whatever he suffered through was nothing. She thought he didn’t want her. His hot and coldness towards her left a mark. This would be something he’ll try to fix for the rest of their lives, but that was fine because Alena was worth it. 
They all sat on the couch, Alena strategically placing Cruz in between them.
“I was thinking we should go to the zoo tomorrow.” Angel’s eyes were just focused on Alena. Her confession, New York, everything was plaguing his mind. 
“Um, sure, I’ll ask Letty if she wants to come.” Alena kept her eyes trained on the television, PJ Mask was a stationary in their household.
“How was your night?” Angel questioned.
“Good, it says I FaceTimed you, did I really do that?” Alena hoped she didn’t say anything crazy. She had the craziest dream that she had a full blown confession to Angel and she was talking to an imaginary Angel. God, her dreams could be so vivid at times. 
“Yeah, you, Coco and Riz were just messing around.” 
Alena nodded their head. “Yeah, I had like eight bottles of Soju last night, unwinding to the fullest.”
Angel chuckled. “I bet. You doing good baby?”
Alena finally looked over at Angel and she smiled, nodding her head. “Yes, why? Am I missing something?”
“I’m just checking on you cielo.” 
“You don’t have to, I’m okay.”
“How can I not, you’re my wife, I always have to make sure you’re okay.”
Alena nodded her head. “Well from now on, don’t even fret over me, I’m fine.” 
This was it, she was pushing him away again. But not this time. He wasn’t going to let her.
“Tough shit Alena, I worry about you so regardless if you want it or not, I’m always going to check in.”
“You don’t have to worry about me Angel, you know I would tell you if something is going on. I’m an adult, I can handle myself you know.” Alena was curious why Angel was looking at her like she would break apart any minute. She didn’t like it and made her feel something else occurred last night.
“But that’s the thing, you wouldn’t tell me if something was bothering you because you’re trying to spare me.”
Alena was confused by his statement. Though it was true, she wondered why Angel was bringing it up.
Cruz looked at his father then his mother, cuddling closer to Alena. “Do I have a sibling yet?”
Alena and Angel looked at one another, bursting out in laughter. The tension that was rising was broken by their son.
“I thought we agreed on a puppy?” Alena scooped Cruz in her arms, blowing raspberries on his tummy. The gleeful shriek he let out made Angel chuckle.
“No, baby sister.” Cruz shook his head looking over at his father. “Right daddy? Baby sister?” Angel nodded his head in agreement. He wanted a little Alena.
“Why do you want a sister Cruzie? You don’t want a little brother?” Alena questioned.
“No, little sister so she looks like you.” Cruz crawled onto Alena’s lap. He placed his hands on her cheeks. “Then I can take care of her and protect her.”
Alena smiled, thinking of how much of a great big brother Cruz would be. “Yeah Cruzie? What will we name your baby sister if you get one?”
“Mmm,” Cruz thought for a moment. “Alena.”
Alena and Angel both chuckled. 
“Little man, we can’t name your baby sister after mama.” Angel turned to face them, his hand resting on Alena’s thigh. “How about Isabella?”
“I like that!” 
Alena and Angel listened to Cruz as he talked about all the things he could do with his baby sister. Angel looked up at Alena, her confession last night was still in his mind. He was thinking of all the things he could do for his wife, to prove to her that he was as devoted to her as she was to him. Maybe he couldn’t give up opportunities outside of Santo Padre like she could because he was a fuck up and stupid compared to his brother, but he’ll show her he was worthy.
==========
Angel pushed the cart down the aisle, looking at the list Alena gave him. Every once in a while, Angel did the grocery shopping to let Alena rest. She always did the grocery runs for the club and Vicky’s, the least he could do was to do it for their family. He left Cruz and Alena asleep on their bed after a morning of family painting. Much like while they’re sitting watching television, Alena kept her distance, mostly sticking by Cruz. 
He knew what she was doing, and this was not going to go on for long, not if he could help it.
Coco dumped four bags of chips in the cart, Angel giving him an incredulous look.
“First of all, who the fuck needs these much chips. Second of all, Alena likes the kettle chips, not plain old Lays.” Angel kept the Lays Cheddar Cheese and Sour Cream since he knew Alena liked that, but otherwise he took the other three bags, giving it back to Coco. “You call yourself her best friend? She doesn’t like any of the other ones.”
“They’re for me, idiot. Gilly has Alena’s picks.” Coco scoffed, placing the bags back down. Sure enough, Gilly came with a bag of the Lays a Cheddar Cheese along with the Ruffles version of the flavor. He had the kettle chips, original and the jalapeño ones as well. 
“You don’t usually go grocery shopping, you in the dog house?” Gilly questioned as he placed the bags down. 
“Surprised you haven’t told Gilly.” Angel continued to push the cart, adding the pasta sauce Alena requested. She made it easy on him, listing the exact brands and the alternatives he could get.
“He told me.” Gilly had his arms crossed, blocking Angel’s way. “So what’s the plan?”
“With what?” Angel grabbed a box of spaghetti, fettuccine and penne. 
“Alena, are you going to confess soon or are you going to continue to let her wallow on feeling unworthy of your love.”
Angel placed the list down on top of the eggs, narrowing his eyes at Gilly. “I don’t know who the fuck you think you are, but I don’t have to explain anything to you. What’s going on between me and my wife is between us. I appreciate your concern for my wife,” he emphasized the last two words. “But I plan on telling her what is going on soon.”
“You always say that, then you get fucking cold feet and you take back what you say. It’s different this time, I know. But how much more can Alena take? This girl devoted her life to you and the best you can do is confess to her? I get it, that would mean the world to her, but you have to give her a little more Angel. She’s moved mountains for you and took care of your son.” Angel was his brother, something he recognized and held dearly, but much like everyone, he watched this dance for far too long. Last night was what broke the camel’s back for everyone. It seemed that it was a consensus that decided that if Angel took back his words this time, they would make it a point to get Alena the fuck away from him. They wouldn’t let her stand by him. Angel was their brother, but this was tough love.
“You don’t think I fucking know that? You don’t think I know that she gave up her dreams so she can help me? I don’t need you reminding of my shortcomings with Alena cause it’s always in the back of my mind.” Angel didn’t want to have this conversation in the middle of the grocery aisle, but he was thankful that it was early in the afternoon. “I’m not going to take it back. Even though you fuckers hope I do so you can make a move, you all can fuck yourselves.” Angel knew it wasn’t true, but he wanted to push this aside. This wasn’t the right place for this conversation.
“You’re a damn idiot.” Gilly shook his head, moving out of the way. 
The boys continued to get everything on Alena’s list, adding a few things they knew her and Cruz would like. As they made their way to the check out lines, Angel looked over to the side, almost bumping the cart. His eyes landed on Alena’s former coach, Coach Marvin Henderson. As soon as Marvin’s eyes landed on Angel, his eyes drifted to his kutte, Gilly and Coco before immediately turning the other way. Angel could tell how the fear just sunk in on his body, that tensed up. He kept looking back making sure Angel didn’t follow. He was with a woman who looked to be his wife, she was his girlfriend then, and she knew what he did then. Her eyes landed on Angel and she pushed him forward, to create as much distance as possible.
But no distance would be too great to Angel.
His clock was ticking and even he knew that.
Their reputation preceded them, everyone in this small town spoke of them, whether it was out of fear, disdain, or awe, everyone in the town knew what they were capable of. Marvin had left town twelve years ago, Angel made sure he wouldn’t dare return and since he had, the consequences of his disregard to Angel’s warning would be paid in full.
“You know that guy?” Gilly questioned.
“That was Alena’s coach.” Coco was already around then, he knew this guy. “Are you going to take care of that?” Coco turned to Angel. 
“Yep.”
==========
The three Mayans came home and found Alena awake. Cruz was still napping and Alena was doing the laundry. 
Angel noticed that Alena was wiping her eyes and frowned. He walked over to her, softly calling out to her. “Cielo?” Alena didn’t answer, tilting his head, he noticed that she had her headphones on.
She looked up and wiped her eyes. “Hey! I didn’t hear you guys.” She took off her headphones. “Sorry, it was the confession part in my drama and I was just listening to it.” She laughed. Moving to the side she waved hello to Gilly and Coco who were bringing stuff in. “Are you guys staying for dinner? I’m making that baked ziti you guys like.”
“Fuck yes!” Coco called out as he walked out of the door to grab the rest of the bags.
“You spoil us Lenny.” Gilly added.
“Wait, no, it’s family dinner tonight. They can go fuck off.” Angel wiped her tears, reminding him of how she looked last night. He fucking hated seeing her cry. It didn’t even matter if it was some show that made her cry, he hated seeing it.
“I’m okay,” she moved her face away, picking up the basket of clothing she brought in from the garage. 
“Why do you keep pulling away from me?” Angel also hated it when Alena wouldn’t let him comfort her. He fucking got it, she was trying to get used to living without him, but tough shit, that wasn’t happening.
“I’m not, I don’t need you to wipe my tears, I’m fine.” She walked over to her room and just as he’s about to follow her, Coco stopped him. 
“What’s up?”
“They found him, he lives two streets over.” Coco showed him the text message from Riz. “What’s the plan?”
“We fucking kill him.”
“Kill who?” 
Angel and Coco turned to Alena who was holding the empty laundry basket. She eyed them curiously, unsure of what she walked into. Alena wasn’t obtuse and Angel told her everything. 
“We’re gonna kill Creeper, he’s being such a pain in the ass.” Angel chuckled, lying smoothly. “He fucked the order up for our work shirts.”
“Oh, I ordered it for him.”
Coco had to hold back a laugh along with Gilly as Angel scrambled to come up with an excuse.
“Did I say work shirt? Sorry baby, I meant some club shirts he ordered.” Angel felt like an idiot. How could he forget that Alena was the one who ordered their work shirts?
“No it’s okay, no big deal.” Alena laughed it off, slightly enjoying how freaked out Angel appeared. She went back to the garage leaving the three stooges behind.
“You couldn’t tell me she was behind me?”
“I didn’t fucking see her either with you blocking her.” Coco chuckled. “So we doing this tonight?”
“No point in prolonging it, I want him gone. He’s never going to touch my wife ever again.” Angel was quite pleased that Marvin had decided to show his face again. From what they gathered, he’s been back for months, thinking past grievances have been buried. But they haven’t. 
“Are you going to tell her?” Coco nodded his head towards the closed garage door.
“She wouldn’t want for us to kill him.” Angel sighed. He should tell Alena, but she didn’t need to know. She didn’t need this in her conscience. 
==========
Angel walked out of the clubhouse, the night time sky finally taking over. He didn’t want to prolong this since Alena and Cruz were waiting for him. They already had dinner, and made some excuse that Bishop needed them at the clubhouse to keep Alena from questioning anything. But she hardly ever did. She always waited till Angel was ready to tell her. He walked past EZ, not sparing his brother a glance. Coco and Gilly flanked his sides. Gilly unlocked the van slipping in the driver’s seat. Coco covered the license plate.
“Make sure you do this clean, burn their bodies on the other side.” Bishop advised. 
Angel nodded his head and slid in the passenger side. God bless technology and Riz being a whiz, they figured out that the two lived at a home two streets away from Alena and Angel’s home. The fact this mad has the audacity to move so close pissed off Angel. There were no cameras and if there were, they were cutting the power. 
It was close to one in the morning and Angel was going to make sure these two wastes would never see the light of day again. 
They arrived at the street, parking a block away. Before going inside, they slipped on their ski masks, kutte tucked in the van. Angel’s signature chains were missing so they wouldn’t be able to identify them. Coco and Gilly went to the back, cutting the electricity off. 
The two were still awake, so a shriek was heard due to Marvin’s wife freaking out. Angel knocked on the door, waiting for someone to open it. The door opened, it was Marvin. Angel immediately punched him on the face, and before his wife could let out another shriek, he shot her right in the head. The silencer muffled any sound and she dropped to the ground. Marvin wanted to scream upon seeing his wife’s lifeless body, but he expected this.
He didn’t want to move back, but Sheila became cocky, thinking that whatever happened all those years ago was forgotten, he knew better.
Angel locked the door as Marvin moved away from Angel.
“If you want money, I have twenty five thousand dollars in the safe upstairs.”
“Why the fuck would you keep twenty-five grand in your safe?” Coco wasn’t even sure why he would ask, but why would a coach stash that much fucking money at home?
“Or do you want the drugs? They’re in the safe too.”
“Drugs?” Gilly looked at Angel.
Whatever this man was saying was not registering. All he could think about was Alena’s confession and how this man threatened to hurt him, how he used to hurt her, and how he made her life miserable.
‘He told me to think of real Angel while he was touching me, that I would enjoy it more. I didn’t, and he would get mad and hit me.’
Angel took off his mask and Marvin immediately backed away further.
“Angel, man, I left when you asked me to leave.” Marvin was intimidated by Angel then all those years ago. For a nineteen year old, he had an intimidating presence that even rattled Marvin. He knew sexually assaulting Alena was wrong, but she was such a sweet innocent girl, he couldn’t help it. 
“So why did you come back?” Angel made his way over to him, Marvin hitting the wall behind him, he had no more escape. 
“Because I’m a fucking idiot.”
“Do you know that her father kicked her out of their home? Cause he couldn’t believe that you would ever do something so despicable to someone you’ve known since she was a child?” Angel looked menacing. Coco and Gilly cleaned up Sheila, leaving Angel knowing this was something he needed to do on his own. “Did you know that she hasn’t swam in years because every time she did, she would panic thinking of you? Did you know that she had a hard time being intimate since the only thing she could think about were the despicable actions you did to her?” Angel crouched down in front of him, placing the muzzle of his gun resting against Marvin’s head. “You told her to think of me when you touched her, cause it would feel good since you knew she liked me.”
“She loved you Angel.” Marvin’s tears streamed down his face, mixing with the blood coming down from his nose. “I heard you were married, why does it matter what happened with Alena? You obviously got rid of her.”
Angel chuckled, leaning over so he was right beside his ear. “She’s my wife.” He growled out.
Marvin froze then. 
How could he be so stupid to think that Alena wasn’t his wife. He’s seen Alena around town, but he made sure that their paths never crossed, he knew once they did, he would be done for. Though he prayed that maybe Angel was no longer in Alena’s life since he was married. Unfortunately for him, he ran into Angel. He and Sheila were going to leave tomorrow and never look back. If he thought Angel looked menacing then, it was a whole nother level now. 
“Angel, listen, you want money? It’s yours. The drugs I have in the safe are worth at least ten grand. I’ll leave right now and never look back, just please, don’t kill me.” He couldn’t beg for Sheila’s life, but he could plead for his.
“When she pleaded for you to stop, did you stop?” Angel roughly grabbed his chin, pushing his head against the muzzle of his gun. 
Marvin sobbed harder, he knew he wouldn’t win this. Cause he didn’t stop, he would hit her or tell her to do it for Angel. 
“You didn’t right?” Angel let go of his chin, hitting him with the back of his gun. “Answer me motherfucker, did you fucking stop?”
“No, I didn’t.” He managed to sob out, sobs that increased when he heard Angel cock back his barrel. “Angel, I’m sorry, please, I can’t take back what I did, but if I could, I would.” His eyes drifted to Coco and Gilly who also had their guns out. “I apologize to her, I saw her a few years back, she was with her kid. She forgave me.” Well, maybe she didn’t and she looked frightened more than anything, but to him, he said his piece and he apologized. That counted for something. 
He remembered that, she called him frightened and was scared that Marvin would hurt Cruz. She thought she was being irrational, but he understood her fear and now, he further understood why she thought he would use Cruz against her.
She had nightmares for two weeks, screaming for Marvin to stop, she had to take some time off work. It was hell and Angel remembered how she wouldn’t tell him the extent of Marvin’s actions. He didn’t push her, he just held her.
He didn’t give a flying fuck if Marvin thought she forgave him. Angel didn’t, and even if she did that didn’t save his life.
Angel didn’t reply and stood up. “For what it’s worth, I’m sorry I didn’t end your life fucking sooner.” Before Marvin could even utter a reply, Angel unloaded his clip on him. He thought it would be satisfying, and it was, but it could never take back his actions towards Alena.
But at least he was preventing it from occurring again.
“You okay?” He heard Coco ask.
Coco and Gilly stood by, watching, hearing Marvin’s words. They felt for Alena and were glad that Angel took care of him.
“No, but I will be.”
==========
Alena woke up, rubbing her eyes. She fell asleep watching the Punisher. She was trying to make a mental note as to where she left off. She sat up and gasped when she saw the silhouette of a person sitting on her armchair. She quickly grabbed her glasses and found Angel sitting down. It was a deja vu moment when she found him sitting down, flipping his keys around after what occurred with EZ.
“Angel?” She called out. “How long have you been sitting there?”
“A few hours.” Angel came home and didn’t even undress. The dirt of the desert was still present on his clothing. When he entered their room, the Punisher was playing, with Alena sound asleep, her head on his pillow. He wasn’t even sure why he shed tears. It wasn’t for Marvin. It was for what occurred with Alena. He sighed. “Can you please come here?”
Alena followed his request, stopping a few feet away from him.
“Cielo, just please come closer, can I hold you?”
Alena was reluctant and her reluctance wounded Angel. But as quick as her reluctance appeared, she quickly sat on his lap, leaning back so her weight was more towards his knees.
“You know I’ll always protect you, right?” Angel placed a hand on her hip and another cupped her face.
She nodded her head. “Of course.” She placed her hand on top of the one that rested on her face. A few strands of his hair were on his forehead. She combed his hair back with her fingers, Angel’s eyes closing at the sensation.
“Do you trust me?” He opened his eyes.
“With my life.”
Angel pulled her against him, surprising Alena. He had his head buried at the crook of her neck, Alena wrapped her arms around him. “I’m sorry I wasn’t able to protect you all those years ago, but that’ll never happen again.”
“What are you talking about?” Alena was confused, but she continued to hold him.
“With your coach, I should have caught on when you stopped hugging me, when you flinched whenever I came close to you. When you began to wear clothing that covered your whole body during the summer.” Angel sighed, his warm breath against her skin.
“It’s okay, Angel. No one could have known. You’ve done so much for me, please don’t fret over me. I’m good, I can take care of myself.” Alena assured him.
“Stop pulling away from me. I know what you’re trying to do, trying to practice some crazy scenario where I’m no longer around, pulling away so it’ll hurt less. Stop it.” He sat back, his hands resting on her thighs, running them up and down. “I love you Alena, there’s never going to be a life where I don’t have you beside me. I get it, you’re trying to protect your heart, but please give me a chance.”
Alena didn’t know what to say. Angel has said I love you to her before, numerous times actually. But this felt different.
‘No, don’t be stupid. This is how you always fall back in. You can keep Angel in your life without any expectations from him.’
She leaned forward, crushing their lips together and Angel immediately responded. She rested her arms around the nape of his neck, moaning against his mouth as she felt Angel’s fingers graze the skin under her breast, his hand had slipped inside her shirt. She pulled away, placing kisses on his jawline down his neck. She bit down, making Angel groan and thrust up into her. Kissing him one more time, she palmed his growing erection making Angel moan out her name. They hadn’t been intimate like this for some time and Angel needed her.
“Sorry, I’m on my period.” She stood up, Angel’s mouth dropping open when he saw the devilish smirk on his sweet, innocent Alena. He turned her into this and he was so fucking proud.
“Oh baby, just wait till you’re done with your cycle.” He smacked her ass. “Or we can fuck in the shower, is it your first day?” Angel stood up, wrapping his arms around her from behind. 
He nibbles at her ear making Alena giggle. “It is, sorry.” She went to use the bathroom, walking back to the room, Angel was waiting outside.
“I gotta take a shower, want to join?”
Alena shook her head, kissed his cheek and went back to bed. Alena was half asleep when Angel joined her in bed, pulling her against him. 
“You never have to worry about that coach ever again cielo.” She felt his lips on her forehead, and as much as she wanted to ask for clarification, sleep took over.
==========
Alena filled out the form for the eye doctor. Angel sat beside her, playing candy crush on his phone. Alena didn’t want him to come, but Angel insisted since he didn’t want for her to go alone. Currently, Alena was on a two week break from work since Mr. Johnson attended one of his nieces’ wedding. Victor invited Alena, but she declined. 
“So, your cycle usually lasts 4 days?” Angel asked in a low tone.
She looked at him and that devilish smirk was ridiculous, but honestly sexy. “Yes, it’s my 3rd day though, so, sorry.” Alena has been teasing Angel. He literally woke up to her giving him a blowjob yesterday morning. He wasn’t complaining, but as soon as he offered to do something to her, she would swat his hand away and walk away, preparing Cruz for school. Today, he woke up to her giving him a hand job and there was just so much he could take without touching her.
Alena was driving him insane.
“Cielo, you keep teasing me, you know payback is a bitch right?” 
“Ssh,” Alena shushed him as she continued to fill out the form.
Angel just chuckled, going back to his game.
Alena gave the form and did a few tests before the Ophthalmologist saw her. Alena really didn’t want Angel to go since her Ophthalmologist, Dr. Wu was kind of cute. It was definitely nice eye candy to have. 
When they called her to the back, Alena somehow convinced Angel to just stay behind. She was led to one of the examination rooms and thanked the assistant Maggie.
“Your husband is quite good looking.” Maggie commented making Alena laugh. Her eye doctor was in another town, so they weren’t exactly familiar with the Mayans.
“Thanks Maggie.” 
Alena sat down on the chair, waiting for Dr. Wu to arrive. Once he did, Alena sat up straight and smiled. He was a good looking man, who was kind and had a really nice smile. His hair was short in length, slightly spiked up on the front ends.
“Well if it isn’t my favorite patient, how are you Alena?” Dr. Wu walked in with her file.
Alena blushed. “Good, but we both know your favorite is my mother.”
“Not true, though I do tell your mother she’s my favorite so she won’t hurt me.” Dr. Wu was a family friend. Prior to her father leaving, she saw Nick often. They eventually lost touch and recently reconnected a few years back.
Alena laughed at that. “And I don’t blame you. My mother is quite intimidating.”
Angel was busy playing his game, wondering if Alena always took this long to finish with her eye appointment. It’s been thirty minutes and he was certain it didn’t take this long. The door opened and when he looked up, his brows furrowed. Alena walked out, eyes trained on the man with her. The waiting room was empty since it was lunch time and she was the last patient they took before closing for lunch. He gave her a bag and smiled down at her. Before Angel could even register what was going on, the doctor hugged Alena, a little too long for his liking and pulled away.
Now he knew why she wanted him to stay behind.
It was Nick Wu, her old childhood friend that he saw her with from time to time when he picked her up. He never introduced himself, and Nick never bothered either.
“It was nice seeing you again, you should definitely come to my parents’ wedding anniversary. Your mom and brother are going. And if it makes you feel more at ease, your father isn’t invited.” Nick wasn’t an idiot and knew what occurred with their family. 
“I’ll let you know, thanks again Dr. Wu.” Alena beamed up at him.
“Lena, you can call me Nick. It’s not like we haven’t known one another.”
“You ready to go babe?” Angel cut in, wrapping an arm around Alena’s shoulders. He looked at this doctor and smirked. “I’m Angel, Alena’s husband.” He stuck his hand out. 
“Nick, pleasure to meet you. I’ve heard great things about you.” He shook his hand. And he has, Alena’s mother always gushed about Angel and Alena has mentioned him a few times. 
“Wish I could say the same about you.” 
“I’ll see you, bye Nick.” She wrapped an arm around Angel and pulled him away from the office. 
Once they exited, Angel didn’t let her go until they got to her car. He opened the door for her and she slid in, placing her purse on the floor. Angel slid in at the driver’s side, turning the car on.
“What was that?” Angel turned to look over at Alena. 
“Hmm?” 
“Is that why you prefer to go alone? Cause it’s Nick?” Angel was jealous, he could admit that. Alena always preferred going to her eye doctor alone and now it made sense.
“Angel, he’s like an old family friend.” Alena explained.
“That I’ve never met.”
“Yes, it happens. Nick never came to Santo Padre.” Alena replied. “And you’ve met him, well sort of, when you used to pick me up from school.”
Angel narrowed his eyes. “Is he married?”
“No, he’s single I believe.” Alena wasn’t exactly sure since she never actually asked Nick. “I’m not sure, I don’t really ask him.”
“Is he one of the people your mother had lined up for you?”
“I don’t know? What’s with all the questions?” Alena smiles teasingly. “Are you jealous?”
“Alena, what kind of a fucking question is that? Of course I am. I didn’t even fucking know he was still a part of your life.” He didn’t like Nick then, he still didn’t now. Angel was unreasonable, but he always liked being number one in Alena’s life. Nick came close to replacing him and he could never forget that.
“Angel, he’s just an old family friend. Don’t worry about him.” Alena didn’t want Angel to be upset over nothing. She didn’t like Nick in that way. He was good looking, but she wouldn’t want to be with someone who had such a close connection to her father. And she also never saw him in that way. She admired him, but it just stayed there.
Angel didn’t reply and drove off. It’s not like he didn’t trust Alena, but it was crazy how he was more aware of all the men he could have lost Alena too. 
The rest of the day went off without a hitch, he just had a small run with the club and he went with Alena to her eye appointment. She got new glasses, so he was glad they went today. He was still thinking about that doctor. He didn’t think Alena was cheating on him, but it just made him uneasy. Were there other men that Alena didn’t tell him about? Alena was also oblivious to men hitting on her unless it was very straightforward.
“Angel?” He looked over at Alena who was standing at the end of the couch where his feet were. He was relaxing here since he wanted to watch television and not bother Alena. And he also might be upset at her little display at the doctor’s office.
“Cielo, you okay?” Angel grimaced seeing the tears in Alena’s eyes. “What’s wrong?”
“Can you just hold me? If you don’t want to, it’s okay,” Alena approached him, frowning at how small she felt. She hated reliving that assault with her former coach. “Never mind, sorry.”
Angel grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him. Alena laid on top of him, wrapping her arms around Angel. 
”I got you, I always do.” He never knew he would miss holding her as much as he did, but he truly missed her. He kissed her forehead, running his fingers through her hair.
“Thank you.”
“You want to go out to brunch tomorrow?”
“With Cruz?”
“No baby, just you and me.”
“Sure.” He could hear Alena fading and he felt himself fading.
This was all he wanted in his life, to have Alena in his arms.

Could I ask for a whole load of ikevamp Jean scenarios? - he teaches you how to ride a horse- he helps you with really bad period cramps - he protects you from an armed druggie in the street - everyone's reaction to Jean telling a dirty jokeI know it's so much so feel free to ignore this lol, and thanks for your writing x
As if I’d ignore a request this good. I actually started thinking about it and it was so funny I started laughing and my sister showed up at my door and gave me a look. It was hilarious. Ok on to the request. P.S sorry it took so long I just had a mountain of work to do so yeah
Jean Shorts
teaching you how to ride a horse
“ How am i supposed to get up if it’s moving!” Jean actually burst out laughing. It was the first time you heard him laugh like this and it was music to your ears. You had asked him to teach you how to ride a horse, but you where still a bit scared of it. “ You know Y/N if you don’t want to you don’t have to learn.” “ No no that’s not it.” Jean thought for a moment and the turned around and walked to his horse. “ Jean? Where are you going?” He got on and came to your side. Then he did something unexpected. He leaned down, scooped you up and put you on your horse.  You stared at hi. “ There all done.” “ Thank you Jean.” He nodded and then started to explain how to control the horse. He’s actually really good at it. If you didn’t get it the first tie he explained it again, slower and made sure you where comfortable with your horse. He was very patient with you and by the end of the day you could lead your horse around the stables and even race a little.
he helps you thought your period
You where having a horrible day. You had just gotten your period and you felt like crap. You snapped at poor Sebastian twice. Then at Arthur for being a little ho  and when Theo called you a hondjie you started crying. So yeah so far the day was terrible. And I didn’t even mention the cramps yet, Oh Lord. You had horrifyingly painful cramps. Once you where done with your tasks you crawled into your bed, curled up into a ball and started crying. All of a sudden you heard a soft knock on your door. You mumbled a small come it, but didn’t get up. ( Of coarse you can never get up once you’re comfortable because it takes like 15 minutes to get comfortable. I don’t care if there is a hurricane outside don’t talk to me) The door  opened and Jean slipped inside. “ Y/ N are you feeling alright” he said as he sat down on the bed. You started crying and he pulled you into his arms. “No I’m not ok, I have my period and my cramps hurt so bad I can’t even sit still. And I have all these weird craving and mood swings. Why am I crying?!” Jean just sat there stroking your hair. He crawled into bed with you and you cuddled. He placed one of his warm hands on your stomach and you let out a sigh of relief. Later he also got you the snacks you liked. Get you a man like this!
he protects you from an armed druggie in the street
Oh we all know that this guy is a little shy and it’s adorable, but is protective af. You where walking down the streets of Paris with your boyfriend. The lamps and the moon shining bright above you where the only things illuminating your path. As you walked down the street you clung to his hand as you where a little scared of the dark. All of a sudden “Give me back my moneeeey!” a scruffy looking man jumped out of the ally in front of you. You tried to be reasonable. “ Sir. We don’t have your money.” “ LIAR!’ He pulled out a gun and pointed it at you. You stiffened a scream and Jean stepped in front of you blocking you from the mad man’s view. “ You have a nerve to scare my lady like that. “He said as he unsheathed his sword. He pointed it at the man. “ You had better drop your weapon before mine finds your neck.” His tone was so cold it sent shivers up your spine. The man took this in consideration, but then raised it again. Jean knocked the gun out of his hand and slashed his beard off. The man leaped back in terror and ran off. Honestly the only reason he didn’t kill him right then and there was because you where with him and he didn’t want ti scare you.
everyone's reaction to Jean telling a dirty joke
Everyone was sitting in the game room. Yes even Mozart for once. Thank you for gracing us with your presence my lord. Anyway you had a fireplace in there as well. You and Jean where cuddled near it. When the fire needed more wood Dazai got up and picked up one and said “ This is a pretty color” All of a sudden Jean looked up at the log and said. “ That’s what I like to call a nice piece of morning wood” The whole room went silent. “Jean?” you asked and he looked at you. “That was...hilarious!” Everybody burst out laughing. Execpt Vincent who didn’t get the joke. Arthur was like I raised you well and Mozart looked at Jean and nodded approvingly. He doesn’t care about the joke he’s just happy Jean had the confidence to say it.
Aaand that is it! I really hope you enjoyed. If you would like more of these shorts with different characters just pop me and ask I’d be happy to do more. Stay afe out there!
