recent coworker interactions I've had that live in my brain rent-free (/negative):

new coworker (/team lead i think, 😬): Yeah, we don't need to bag up every ESIM item.

me, gently complaining about how I've had leaks in the bin because of loose/improperly sealed items: ...*holds up the bin*

store ESIM (Environmentally Sensitive Item Management) bin:

new coworker: ...OK but that's kinda silly. We shouldn't have to do that for every item.

me, who has to take the items to the back every night:

the bins the items get properly sorted into, located in the back:

ma'am if you don't like it, you're more than welcome to take the items back yourself and look at the bins.

Change of Plans - Part 3

Pairing: Drake Walker x MC (Riley Liu)

Book: The Royal Romance (An It Couldn’t Wait Another Moment universe AU, set nearly 3 years after that epilogue)

Word Count: ~4700

Rating: NC-17 (language, 30 diamond scene)

Summary: Living in NYC in March 2020 is redefining normal for Drake and Riley. Life doesn’t always go according to plan during a pandemic, after all.

Author’s Note: Finally finished up the third and final installment of my AU inside my AU. Sorry the word count got away from me a bit here, but hopefully you all like this conclusion to the journey even further into the real world for these two. (I might have fallen in love with this version more than my planned version... oops)

Just like parts 1 and 2, this does hint at or reference some events from the prologue and the first couple of chapters of Why Are We Still Waiting?, but it does not spoil the core content of the story. And again, Trigger warning for coronavirus discussions. Also, explicit adult content in this part.

Part of Drake couldn’t quite believe that today was actually real. It felt sort of surreal still, even though he had the marriage certificate in his hand and was wearing a ring on his finger. Even though the officiant’s words still ran through his mind, pronouncing them married. It felt too much like a dream. But they were married. She was his wife.

They were in their cab, back to their apartment. Obviously, no reception. No bars or restaurants were even open, except for takeout. But that was alright. Being married to her, that was what mattered. Who really cared if it didn’t happen as they planned?

“So, for our honeymoon, what do you think about Brooklyn?” Riley asked, settling in under the arm he’d thrown across her shoulders after giving the driver their address.

Drake chuckled, “Sounds great. You have a place in mind?”

“Yup! I found this little one bedroom apartment with absolutely no amenities, but it does come with a corgi.”

“Perfect. Hopefully it comes with the opportunity for digital filing of cases, because that’s what I really want to do.”

“But you finished your work for today, right?”

Drake nodded. It had been a pain in the ass, but he’d been able to take care of enough between last night and this morning that he would probably not draw attention to the fact that he’d taken this afternoon off. It had seemed stupid to tell his supervisor his plan when he’d been able to get the work done. The firm might be letting people work from home, but that didn’t change the fact that the leadership on his team was a bunch of frat bro assholes that would have absolutely made him use a half day of vacation.

“Good,” she said, turning her head and leaning over slightly so that her lips were practically on his ear, “I’ve got plans for you.”

Drake swallowed roughly, sparing a quick glance towards the cab driver before turning his head and kissing her. The only thing hotter than the promise her words held was the fact that she was now saying them as his wife.

After a few moments, Drake pulled back, not wanting to make the driver too uncomfortable, but Riley tugged him down again, deepening the kiss slightly. However, after several seconds, a loud buzzing sound interrupted them. Riley leaned back slightly, pulling her phone out of her purse.

“What the hell?” she said as she unlocked her phone. “I have six texts from Maxwell. Wait - seven.”

Drake watched her open up her messaging app, and she let out a big sigh almost instantly. She quickly titled her phone so he could read the screen.

😲😃😭🤗😤🥳

That’s all my feelings

Because

OMG 

YOU GUYS GOT MARRIED 

YAY!!! 👰🤵🥂

WITHOUT ME

BOO!!!! 😡👎👿

Drake glanced up from her phone, “How does he know?” They had decided it was better to tell Liam and Iris, Hana and Catherine, and Maxwell, Savannah, Bertrand, and the kids at the same time, and since they had plans for a Zoom call this weekend, that had seemed like the perfect opportunity. No hurt feelings at being the last to know, no guilt trips from Maxwell, and no judgement from his sister for eloping. However, Maxwell had apparently found out within 15 minutes of the ceremony.

“I have no idea how he-” Riley started, but stopped abruptly, “Shit. Give me your phone.”

“Why?”

“I want to check if Daniel posted our photos to Pictagram.”

“Liu, I don’t have Pictagram.”

“Yes, you do. Maxwell and I set that up for you like a year ago.”

“Yeah… I deleted it as soon as he left town.”

Riley rolled her eyes at him, but closed out her message thread with Maxwell and opened up her Pictagram account. Sure enough @liuthebagelbitch and @dw519 were tagged in numerous photos in Daniel’s account and story. Them signing the paperwork. Sitting on the couch waiting. Holding hands and saying vows. Putting on their rings. Kissing at the end of the ceremony.

“Maxwell must follow Daniel,” Riley said, scrolling through the feed, “Yup, squidwiththemoves has liked every single photo.” She sighed, exiting the app. “And he’s texted me ten more times. We have to call him.”

Drake nodded, but before Riley could even open her contacts list, a Facetime request popped up from Maxwell Beaumont. Letting out one last sigh, Riley swiped to accept the call.

“Hey Maxwell!”

“What the hell? I’ve been working on my speech for your ceremony for years, Riley!”

“Wanna try that again?” Riley asked, raising her eyebrows expectantly.

Maxwell sighed, “I mean, congratulations! I’m so happy you decided to get married without telling me or inviting me.”

“Oh, I’m sorry we didn’t consider you in our wedding,” Drake called out, leaning into the view of the camera and rolling his eyes.

“Drake! How could you do this to me, buddy?”

“Do you really want me to answer that question, buddy?”

Riley elbowed him slightly, probably wanting him to not escalate the situation. Truth be told, Drake was only mildly annoyed at Maxwell making their wedding all about him. The bigger issue was going to be getting Maxwell to keep quiet about it until Sunday. That was basically four full days from now, and Maxwell had barely been able to contain himself back when he found out that he and Riley were involved for half that time. 

“Sorry, Maxwell. But we didn’t want to wait again. Plus, I lost my health insurance, so now I’m able to go on Drake’s.”

“Why didn’t you guys tell me, though?”

“Because we wanted to keep this quiet and not make it everyone else’s business,” Drake grumbled.

“And,” Riley added, shooting him a look before she continued, “we were planning to tell all you guys together on Sunday.”

“I just can’t believe I wasn’t there,” Maxwell said, shaking his head sadly.

“We wish you could have been. We really do. But you understand why that wasn’t an option, right?”

Maxwell nodded. “Yeah, I get it.”

“And do you think you could not mention it to anyone before we see everyone on Sunday?”

There was a long pause following Riley’s question before Maxwell responded, “I promise not to tell anyone else.”

“Maxwell… who have you told already?” Drake asked, the word ‘else’ jumping out in his mind.

“Not that many, people I swear!”

“Well, I just got a ‘congratulations’ text with several question marks from Hana,” said Riley, glancing at the notification that had flashed across the top of her screen.

“I had to find out if you had told her and not me!” Maxwell said, gesturing towards the screen emphatically with his free hand.

“And Iris just asked me if what she’s seeing is real,” Riley continued as another notification popped up.

“I wanted to make sure she wasn’t more looped in that I was!”

“And now Savannah’s asking if I really married her brother today.”

“Wait, why is my sister texting you and not me?” Drake asked as Maxwell continued his defense, saying “I mean, we live under the same roof, so of course I asked her what she knew.”

“Maxwell, is there anyone you didn’t tell?” Riley asked, shaking her head.

“Well, Liam didn’t answer my calls, so he probably doesn’t know.”

“You told Iris!”

“Yeah, okay… fair,” Maxwell trailed off, clearly trying to find someone he hadn’t told. “This really isn’t my fault, though! You posted those pictures!”

“Daniel was our witness and photographer. He’s the one who posted them.”

“Well, then blame him. I just acted the way any normal person in my position would have acted.”

“Wanna try that again?” asked Drake, prompting a chuckle from Riley.

“Fine, I just acted in a way that you guys should have totally predicted. In fact, part of me wonders if you wanted me to find out so that I would tell everyone, and you wouldn’t have to deal with the drama of telling them that you got married without them.”

“Maxwell!”

“Fine, I’ll let you go be nauseating newlyweds. Congrats, you two!” With a little wave, Maxwell ended the call.

“Well, I guess people know,” said Riley after a moment. 

Drake let out a sigh, tipping his head back against the top of the seat.

“You aren’t really upset, are you? I mean, I know we decided to tell everyone at once, but it’s not such a big deal that they know, is it?”

“Nah, it’s just annoying that instead of this just being our thing for now, we’re gonna spend our entire wedding night on the phone with people.”

Riley let out a little burst of laughter at that, so Drake twisted his neck to glance at her. “What?” he asked.

“I think you are severely overestimating how many close friends we have. I bet we can finish this up before we even get back to our place.”

“Really.”

“You take Liam and Iris; I’ll take Hana and Catherine. All our New York friends can wait, don’t you think?”

“What about Savannah?”

Riley paused for just a moment, “We can set up a video call with her and your mother tomorrow.”

“But she lives with Maxwell. She knows that-”

“She owes us our wedding day, Drake.”

Drake nodded. As much as he wished that Riley and his sister got along perfectly, he knew that Riley had a good point there. 

“So, I’m gonna call Hana. If you give Liam a call now, it can just be our time when we get home.”

She didn’t have to tell him twice, so as she tapped Hana in her contact list, he unlocked his phone and scrolled to Liam in his recent contacts. The phone only rang twice before Liam answered.

“Yes, Iris. I see. Please let me actually talk to him, love?” Liam asked, his voice muffled and quiet initially before growing much louder. “Drake, I’m glad you called. You are apparently the source of great excitement here tonight.”

“Yeah… I didn’t mean to be-”

“Well, you are, my friend. Between my three missed calls from Maxwell about, and I quote ‘something that I probably wouldn’t consider an emergency, but he sure did’ and Iris bursting into my office with pictures of Riley and you pulled up on her phone, I’ve not been able to get very far in reviewing my nightly briefings.”

“Sorry about that. But, I… er, do have some news.”

“So I am gathering. It appears congratulations are in order,” Liam said. In the background, Drake heard a quieter “Congrats, you two,” that presumably came from Iris.

“Uhh, yeah. We decided to get married.”

“I’m guessing this was Riley’s idea?”

“What makes you say that?”

“She’s just a touch more prone to impulsive action than you.”

“Well, you’re wrong this time.”

“This was you?” The shock was evident in Liam’s voice, and it did bring a smile to Drake’s face. It wasn’t often that Drake was able to surprise him.

“It was.”

“Congratulations, Drake,” Liam replied after a moment, “I’m truly very happy for both of you.”

“Sorry we didn’t-”

“No. I’m happy for you. I’m not accepting any apologies as there is nothing that happened today for which you should feel even remotely sorry.”

“Thanks, Liam.”

“Can I talk to Riley?”

Drake glanced over at Riley, “She’s on the phone with Hana,” but she held up one finger and then held her free hand open, “but I think she’s about to wrap up and wants to talk to you, too.” Riley nodded in agreement.

“Excellent. And I mean it Drake, I know how much this means to both of you. So, truly, I wish you congratulations and nothing but happiness.”

Feeling a lump in his throat, Drake swallowed roughly. But before he could process the words of his oldest and dearest friend, Riley was snatching his phone out of his hand and passing her phone to him.

Hana and Catherine wished him brief, but heartfelt congratulations, but Riley was still on the phone with Liam after he said goodbye to them. He could only really hear her half of the conversation, and she wasn’t saying much, mainly listening to him apparently. Every so often, she would throw in an “of course” or “you know I will,” but other than a few chuckles, she was largely silent. Every so often, he would catch a word or two from Liam, but their conversation was basically a mystery to him.

It was a little strange, to think about how a couple of years ago, having to sit as an outsider while Liam and Riley shared something private would have filled him with a mix of jealousy and guilt and anger. Now, it was certainly a bit odd that his best friend seemed to have more to say to his… his wife than he did to him, but it wasn’t a bad feeling, necessarily. If anything, he was mostly curious, with just a bit of fear about what tales from their youth and adolescence he could be telling her. Those stories would require more explanations than he wanted to give tonight.

Eventually, the cab stopped in front of their building. As Drake paid their fare, Riley wrapped up the call with Liam.

“Thanks, Liam. We’re actually home now… Yeah, I know… You too. Stay safe, and we’ll talk to you guys in a few days.”

“What was that about?” Drake asked as Riley ducked under his arm as he opened the door to their building.

“Oh, he just had a lot of really mushy things to say about you.”

“I’m serious, Liu.”

“I wasn’t kidding. I think he basically gave me his best man speech just now,” she said with a shrug as she unlocked the door from the mailroom and started up the stairs to the second floor, “He just wanted to make sure I knew how lucky I was, I think.”

“Well, that’s fucking dumb. I’m the lucky one here.”

“This has all the markings of going on for a while. Why don’t we just agree that we’re both mad lucky and call it even?” Riley called over her shoulder as she walked down the hallway and pulled her keys out of her purse.

“Wait! I’m supposed to carry you through, right?” Drake remembered as Riley moved to push open the door.

She let out a little chuckle and rolled her eyes, but stood there expectantly, so Drake stepped up and scooped her into his arms, sliding one hand forward to turn the knob and open their door. Anderson came trotting over, eager to see his two humans, while Drake placed Riley down close to the door, not wanting to track their shoes and jackets too far into the apartment.

“He could probably use a walk,” Drake said, “and we should probably shower after spending hours out in public. How about I take him while you get started since washing your hair is always a… process.”

Riley swatted his chest lightly, but nodded in agreement. “You’ll join me when you get back?”

“Absolutely.”

Anderson took care of his business quickly, so it wasn’t too long before Drake was back in their apartment, hanging his sport coat up next to Riley’s jacket and kicking off his shoes. After washing his hands, he made his way into their bathroom, where the shower was running. The steam was already starting to get thick in the room, and eager to get out of his clothes and to join her, Drake quickly moved to drop his shirt on top of the pile of clothing she’d left next to the sink, but a scrap of tan lace caught his eye.

“I knew you were bluffing!” he called out as he fully removed his shirt and started undoing his belt and jeans.

“Huh?” asked Riley, peeking her head out from behind the shower curtain.

“About not wearing underwear. I knew you were full of shit,” Drake said as he stepped out of his pants and boxers, kicking them on top of the pile before climbing into the tub and under the water, sliding his hands into her long, black hair, somehow even darker now that it was wet, as she placed her chin against his chest and her hands on his hips, turning her face up towards his with a playful little smile.

He dropped his head to hers, pulling her into a passionate kiss, trailing his hands through her hair and down to her back. After a few moments, she tilted her head back. “As much as I like where this is headed, we should actually probably shower and not get too distracted,” she teased, trailing her hands around and squeezing his ass with a wink before she ducked past him and started rinsing out her hair. “Besides,” she added, “our track record for shower sex is not great.”

Drake couldn’t help but laugh as he opened up his bottle of shampoo and started lathering up his hair. Something about the floor of this tub was extra slippery, as they had learned the hard way not long after they moved in and then foolishly required repeat lessons about at numerous times. The worst was the time that he’d needed three stitches behind his ear after colliding with the tap as he fell backward, but the time Riley nearly dislocated her shoulder was a close second. “Yeah, a trip to urgent care would be pretty far from ideal at this point,” he said as he dropped a kiss to her forehead.

And so they both showered, trying to keep any touches light and loving, not wanting things to escalate just yet, but the sight of Riley with water trailing all over her naked curves was obviously turning Drake on. Based on the way she dragged her hand across him as she reached for her body wash, she was feeling the same way. By the time she was rinsing off and stepping out of the shower, Drake was scrambling to finish up, wanting to join her as soon as possible.

When he finally turned off the water and stepped out, there she was, wrapped up in her lime green towel, working a comb through her hair. She smiled at him through the mirror, her skin still looking like it was almost glowing from the warmth and water. As he drew up behind her, he slid his hands around her waist and dropped his lips to her shoulder, prompting Riley to shake her head.

“Drake, at least let me finish working out the tangles,” she said before letting out a little sigh as he worked his way over to the side of her neck, biting down ever so lightly when he reached that spot that always drove her wild.

“Who cares?” Drake mumbled into her skin, working his fingers to gather up the towel and moving one hand to her now-exposed thigh, “You aren’t gonna be seeing anyone anyway.”

Riley shuddered, dropping her comb to the counter before snaking her hand behind his neck as he slid his fingers to her center, his touch still light and teasing. “Maybe I want to look good for my husband,” she sighed out, moving her other hand to the knotted portion of the towel across her chest.

Drake groaned. Was her statement supposed to slow him down? Because hearing the word ‘husband’ coming from her lips? Talking about him? Well, fuck. It turned him on even more. Riley had to know what that sentence would do to him, right? So, he increased the pressure of his fingers, stroking her in the way he knew she loved before sliding a finger inside her. The angle wasn’t perfect, but he could feel her arousal and the fact that she practically growled “Fuck” as she clawed her fingernails into his neck seemed to indicate that she was just as ready to keep going as he was.

After a few moments, Drake stilled his motion when Riley grabbed his wrist. She spun, letting the towel fall to the ground and hopped up onto the small counter. She tugged him between her legs, but Drake shook his head.

“Our bed is just a few feet away,” he protested as Riley wrapped her hand around him, causing him to question why he was trying to change anything going on here.

“But it’s nice and warm in here,” she responded, dropping kisses along his jaw, “and I’ve never been good at waiting, Drake. We can be all tender and gentle later. For now, I just want you to fuck your wife.” She punctuated the last words by biting down lightly on his earlobe. Letting out a groan, he brushed her hand away and lined himself up, sinking into her. He hadn’t wanted their first time as a married couple to feel like some frantic quickie, but it had always been nearly impossible for him to deny her anything. So he started rocking his hips into her, reveling in the feel of her around him. The scrape of her nails along his shoulders. Her breath across his cheek.

As he shifted his stance slightly to fill her an angle he knew would be better for her, he caught a glimpse of their reflection in the mirror. There it was, a gold band on his ring finger, resting along her spine. It was almost hard to look away, so he just kept staring at it, soaking in the sight that proved they were married. It mixed with the feel of her hands digging into his skin and her legs hooked around his back, the sound of her breathy sighs and whispered “fucks,” the taste of her skin of her neck, and the smell of her peach body wash, spurring him on and increasing his pleasure.

Sensing that he was heading towards his peak a little quicker than she was, he tore his left hand off her back, sliding it between their bodies. He glanced down to where they were joined, his thumb circling roughly right above that, his ring pressed against the skin of the thigh he clutched. He slammed his eyes shut and dropped his face into the crook of her neck, not needing any additional stimulation. But soon, he felt Riley’s leg clench around him a little more.

“Are you close?” he murmured into her ear.

“Yes,” she moaned out, arching her back slightly. He wasn’t sure if she was specifically answering his question or not, but her response was enough of an answer regardless. Picking up his pace, Drake stroked his thumb harder. He knew he was seconds away from release when he felt her clench around him. He barely was able to recognize her climax before he shattered, spilling into her as he groaned into her skin.

After a few breathless moments, Drake felt his awareness returning. He slid out of her and shifted up, reaching behind her for a washcloth off the rack, dropping a kiss along her cheek as he stood up fully and helped her off the counter.

He wanted to tell how much he loved her. How much he would always love her. How he would always try to prevent her from ever regretting today. But any words he could think of didn’t feel like they were enough to actually describe his feelings, so he settled for gentle caresses and light kisses as they got cleaned up. Before they moved to go to their bedroom to get dressed, Drake grabbed her wrist and tugged her back to him, kissing her deeply.

“I’ll make us something nice for dinner, Liu. Okay?” he said as he pulled back, running his hand through her wet hair.

She nodded and gave him a bright smile before responding, “And I have an idea for dessert.”

He raised an eyebrow at that, “You have an idea in the kitchen?”

Riley just shook her head. “Yes, you ass. And not only will I not mess it up, but I know you’ll like it.”

Dinner was a quiet affair, Riley having thrown on some acoustic cover songs in the background and lighting a couple of candles they had leftover from their Valentine’s dinner while Drake cooked up a couple of steaks, some roasted potatoes, and some sauteed frozen squash. It wasn’t a perfect meal, but he thought he’d done a decent job finding something special for them out of their stock. He’d been surprised when Riley had set their glasses of whiskey on the coffee table instead of their dining table, but he got it once she’d tucked her legs under herself and curled up against his side on the couch. It was cozy and warm and intimate and felt right for the way they’d gotten married.

After they finished eating, Drake started loading the dishwasher and soaking the pans while Riley dug around in the tall cupboard they used as their pantry and then pulled something out of the fridge.

“You better not be baking something,” Drake told her over his shoulder, “Eggs are too hard to find these days to use them in a kitchen adventure of yours,” chuckling lightly as he felt a towel whip between his shoulder blades.

“If you’re done being a smart ass, I’m ready for you.”

Drake shut off the faucet and turned to face her, a smile slipping onto his face as he took in the graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate bars on the counter.

“I know it’s not exactly a wedding cake, but I figured we could do s’mores over the stove,” she said, settling in next to him.

“It’s perfect, Riley,” he said, slipping his hand into hers as he noticed an apple sitting off to the side, “but why the apple?”

“Oh, well I thought we could still do the apple-cutting,” she said with a little shrug, placing her chin against his shoulder, “I mean, I wasn’t sure if someone else needed to be there for this tradition or not, but I just thought it might be nice.”

Drake squeezed her hand, grabbing a knife out of the block and handing it to her. That she had remembered the one Cordonian wedding tradition he’d mentioned incorporating into their reception and thought to do it today was so perfectly her. Not snarky her, when she was annoyed at others or the world or at him. Not playful her, who would tease and laugh and lighten the room. But thoughtful her, who saw forgotten and neglected and broken people and made sure that at least for a moment, they felt seen and heard.

“So, just carve your initials,” Drake instructed, reluctantly dropping her hand so she could pick up the apple.

“Old or new?”

“What?”

“My old initials or my new initials?”

The weight of the day hit him again. Maybe this wasn’t the wedding they’d planned, but it was still their day. Their commitment. Their promise. And that meant more than having Maxwell as the officiant or getting married where his parents did or hearing toasts from Liam or Hana ever could. Watching the woman he’d loved for years, who he knew he’d love for all the years ahead, carve “RW” into that apple was plenty special.

He knew Riley could read him and his mood. She had always been good at that even before they lived together, so it didn’t surprise him that she kept quiet as he carved his own initials into the apple, then cut out a slice for them to share. She had to know he was dangerously close to being overwhelmed, so she didn’t push, just ate her portion of the apple before taking a step to the side and lighting one of the burners. After spearing a couple of marshmallows onto two forks, she grabbed his hand and pulled him over to the stove with her. They toasted their marshmallows without saying anything and without letting go. They were ready to face the good and the bad, together and united. The world was changing, but their world felt steady and sure.

Best Study Date Ever

Requested by @cchris-hevans

Can I request a steve harrington one shot where the reader is dustin’s older sister, and she’s really nerdy and smart and she has a FAT crush on steve but she thinks she’s too dorky for him, but in the end he absolutely loves it about her and they start dating, much to dustin’s dismay.

A/N- Apologies this took a little longer than I expected, it’s been way busier than I thought lately but I’ve been trying so hard to get these done for you guys! I have about 15 on my list right now so if your request isn’t immediately posted I will get to it. Thanks for understanding:) -Olivia

“Dustin!” You yell downstairs trying to get him to turn his music down

Of course, he can’t hear over the obnoxious noise causing you to have to get up from your studying, which you’ve only done for an hour. He knows you need at least 2 hours to feel fully prepared and relaxed.

“Dustin I swear to god if you don’t turn this awful music down” you exclaim walking down your stairs “ you know my study schedule and how important these tests are to me, plus if I don’t study now I’ll have to do it at night, and you know I like reading at nig-“ you cut yourself off

“Oh my god, Steve is here” you think to yourself. Dustin always tells you when he’s having people over, why didn’t he tell you this time! There you are, standing in an oversized t shirt, no makeup, and your hair in a messy bun- right in front of Steve Harrington, who was sitting on your couch. If you even had the slightest chance with him, you definitely ruined it now. Who wants a girl with a study schedule? Not a guy like Steve Harrington, that’s for sure.

“I- I-“ you start blushing trying to get the words out. “I’m so sorry for yelling, I’m just really stressed right now. I promise I’m not normally like that. Dustin failed to inform me that you were gonna be here, I apologize.”

“I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want to bother you while you’re studying” your brother tells you with a smile

“But Dustin, the thing is when your blasting music, that’s a big bother.” You try explaining to him before giving up. “You know, I don’t care anymore. It’s fine. I’m sorry for yelling. I’m a huge mess, I just need to study” you say turning around to walk away before hearing a voice say your name

“Hey Y/N” Steve calls out and you turn around “You aren’t a mess. Shit happens, no need to apologize. Good luck on your test.”

“Thanks” you smile a shy smile. “And hey dork, try and keep your music down, even just a little bit quieter” you say and then go back in your room, shutting the door to reduce noise

“Did you hear what she called me?!” Dustin says to Steve. “She called me a dork! Me, a dork! She’s the one with a study schedule for crying out loud. The one who has to go to the library once a week because she finishes a book in 2 days”

Steve’s never felt this much confusion in his life. He’s popular, he doesn’t care about his grades, so why all the sudden is a study schedule the most adorable thing he’s ever seen a girl have? You’re Dustin’s smart, good girl sister, he normally goes for the popular, party girls, never a girl like you.

“Earth to Steve” Dustin says waving his hand in front of his face

“Oh yeah sorry I was thinking” Steve says “I mean about the whole dork thing, I guess don’t knock it until you try it. It works for her, if she enjoys reading and writing and studying, let her do her thing then.”

“That is the most not Steve thing to say, but alright” Dustin shrugs his shoulders and replies before turning the music on again

***

You wake up the next morning with your face in a book, to the sound of your alarm blaring.

“Oh shit” you say to yourself before cleaning your books and papers up

It’s not unusual you fall asleep studying, but it didn’t even seem that you were studying very late. Must of just had a tiring day and fell asleep early. You start to get ready for school replaying what Steve said to you in your head. Even though it wasn’t a lot, it still meant something to you. You grab your book bag and walk downstairs, seeing Dustin waiting by the door like he always does for you on school mornings, following you out the door and getting in the car.

“Steve stuck up for you yesterday when I called you a dork” Dustin randomly blurts out

“H-he did?” Your eyes light up but you quickly wipe the look of your face “ I mean why are you telling me this?” You asked, confused

“Because it’s so obvious you like him. You can’t be in the same room as him without blushing every time.” He rolls his eyes

“I blush because I’m shy” you look at him instead of the road, being parked at a red light

“Oh cut the crap. I can tell how in love with him you are.”

“Okay, well maybe I do have a tiny crush. But it’s Steve Harrington, everyone does!”

“I don’t think you’re his type anyways. I mean, I’ve never seen him go for a girl like you.”

“I’m very well aware of that, but thanks for raising my hopes” you sigh

“I’m sorry, I wasn’t trying to be mean it’s just-“ you cut him off

“It’s fine Dustin. Don’t worry about it”

The rest of the car ride was silent until you arrived at school, walking in with Dustin before parting ways to go to your different classes. You take your test, which you think you aced, go to a couple more classes, and then finally get to take your lunch. You go to the library for lunch like you do everyday. You always have, you eat, check out some new books, and start writing out and adding to your study schedule. It’s just calming, instead of being in a loud, noisy room.

Steve walks into the lunchroom looking for you, but quickly realizes you aren’t there. He continues walking the halls until he passes the library, looking through the glass doors to see you sitting at a table, pencil in hand, writing in your notebook and decides to walk in and over to your table.

“Y/N hey” He says with a smile. “Can I sit?”

“Steve?” You say confusedly “Not trying to come off rude, but this is a library. What could you possibly need in here?” You laugh

“You” he blurts out. “No- I, uh, I mean I was looking for you, and I thought the library would be a good place to check. I guess I thought right, you’re here after all” He smiles that stupid adorable smile of his

“Mhm” you nod. “Why exactly were you looking for me if you don’t mind me asking? Anything I can help you with?”

“Uh…” he looks around trying to find something, not wanting to admit he just wanted to see you, before noticing the piece of paper in front of you labeled ‘study schedule’. “I was wondering, where exactly does one get a study schedule?”

You give him the “You really couldn’t of thought of anything better” look but decide to go along with it.

“Well, one has to actually study, or at least plan on it in order to make a study schedule.” You inform him

“What makes you think I don’t study?” He asks

“Steve you practically scream the words ‘I don’t study’”

“Okay you’re right this time, I don’t study. Well I mean, you’re right all of the time. You’re like super smart and shit. Anyways, I want to start studying though, and you know, get my grades up. Maybe you can teach me how, like a study date?”

“Damnit Steve did you really just say study date?” He thinks to himself

“Study date?” You ask, starting to blush with a smile

“Yeah, study date. Of course only if you want to.”

“I want to” you smile shyly

“Great, what if we do it after school today? Maybe I could meet you at your house?”

“Very eager I see.” You giggle. “Yes, that works perfectly, I don’t think Dustin will be home right after school anyways so we’ll be able to work in peace. I’ll see you then” you say grabbing your book bag and standing up

“Wait where are you going?” He frowns

“To class, my lunch is over. I highly suggest you do that too, especially if you want to work on getting your grades up, because I know you skipped class to find me. You had lunch with Dustin- 2 periods ago.” You say starting to walk away

“Oh yeah right” he chuckles “well I’ll see you tonight!” He calls out before getting loudly shushed by the librarian followed by the words “Steve, this is a library!” Causing you to giggle, waving at him before you finally leave and walk to class

You’re overwhelmed with joy for your first few steps of your walk to class, before your panic kicks in. Steve is coming to your house! Not for Dustin this time, but for you! So many thoughts are going through your head, could Steve like you back? Or could it really just be innocent studying. Then again, you saw his eyes scanning the room trying to give you an answer, and you know Steve doesn’t study. “Just 2 more classes” you think to yourself before you have to run home and make yourself perfect for Steve.

Your two classes go by faster than expected, and before you know it you’re running up into your room getting ready for Steve. He said he was coming right after school, causing you to drive faster than you normally would to give you some time. You rebrush your hair, touch up your mascara and powder, and head back downstairs cleaning the table off and placing two drinks on it. You wait a minute before hearing a knock on the door

“Hi, come in.” You gently say with a blush as he walks in

“Thanks for agreeing to help me. I know I’m not the smartest person to study with” he smiles

“I bet I can change that” you smile, starting to walk him to the table, realizing you forgot to bring your books down. “After I get my books. I don’t know how I seemed to forget them, I’m not always as smart as I seem. I’m just gonna run upstairs and grab them real quick.”

“Let me help you, you shouldn’t be carrying them all by yourself”

On any other occasion you would’ve loved to have Steve help you, it’s like a dream, but your room is literally a tiny library. Your bookshelf is flooded with too many books to count, it’s the definition of nerd. “Steve I carry them everyday by myself. Plus my room isn’t something you wanna see” you try telling him

“Well now I’m even more intrigued” he smiles

“Steve my room is full of books, nothing interesting. I’ll be right back”

You come back down and start studying with him, at least you try to. Everytime you explain something to him he just seems so lost in his thoughts. You feel your cheeks start to flush, feeling embarrassed that he is bored of you, or you aren’t doing a good job at teaching him.

“Hey are you okay?” You ask him putting your pencil down. “You seem distracted, I’m sorry if this is boring you or not making sense. I’ve never really tried helping someone study.”

“No oh my god no! You’re perfect, you aren’t boring at all!” He tries telling you “I guess I have been a little distracted lately”

“Do you want to talk about it? I may not be the best teacher but I’m a great listener.” You smile at him

He nods. “The thing is, I like this girl, a lot. I never thought she’d be my type but she is. I bet she probably thinks the same thing, but she could do so much better than me. She’s smart, funny, and so cute. What do I have that could possibly help her?”

Hearing him talk about another girl upset you a little bit, made you think about how lucky she must be. You weren’t going to let that show though, you were going to help him.

“You having many amazing qualities. You’re an awesome friend to my little brother, you care about everyone and try your best to make them laugh when they’re down, you’re handsome. You’re an overall great guy. I take it this isn’t some hot girl you met at a party?”

“No” he shakes his head “it’s an incredibly adorable and sweet girl who offered to help me study after school today”

You feel your face immediately turn red and give him a confused look. “What?”

“Oh come on, you’re smarter than that. I had to of been making it obvious”

“I’m such a dork though! Why would you ever like me? I find math entertaining!”

“That’s what’s adorable!” He exclaims with a smile “Your smartness is so cute. You make studying sexy.” He smirks

“Steve!” You say with a laugh

“I’m being serious! And I’m definitely not the only one that was making it obvious here, unless I’m just really stupid. What do you say Y/N?” He says grabbing onto your hand “Will you be my girlfriend? Or at least give me a chance?”

You lean off of your chair a little bit, pressing a kiss against his lips

“I’m taking that as a yes?”

“Oh my god, yes! Yes!” You smile with excitement “I’m so sorry. I don’t normally really kiss, god I hope that didn’t suck.”

“Trust me, it didn’t suck at all. But I bet I can change that” he says repeating your words from earlier before attaching his lips to yours again.

“I wonder when Dustin’s getting home” he says in between breaths during what’s turned into a makeout session before hearing a loud

“Holy shit!” Come out of Dustin’s mouth, making you immediately pull away

“We’re studying” you say to your brother

“Studying what? The inside of each other’s mouths!” He exclaims

“We’re also dating” Steve quickly says

Dustin has a face of utter shock, surprised by what he just heard, but finally responds

“Fine, but I still want everything the same between us. Not just you coming to the house for her, I was here first”

“Completely understand” Steve says

“You know I wouldn’t take him away from you” you tell him

“And I want to be clear, I only approve of this for Y/N happiness, and if you ever hurt her-“ Steve cuts him off. “We don’t even need to go there, I would never hurt her” he puts an arm around you

“I’m glad we got this covered then. I will leave you two to whatever you guys were doing before, frankly I don’t want to know what.” He says before heading to his room

“I think we should finish studying” Steve smirks

“Most definitely” you say before you two match your lips back together

You can’t believe the man of your dreams is finally yours. You never in a million years thought you were his type, little did you know he found smarts so attractive. “Best study date ever” you think to yourself

First Blog Post 3/20/20

Started CnD Records today. Feels Good.

Working on some diss tracks. Not sure if they see it coming - doesn’t matter either way.

Planning to release Car and Driver first real record this Friday 3/20/20. Driving Test Driver Fest 1. 

Self release first record - another 20 tracks next week. Compile top 10 - 15 for first release with other label - thinking Terrible, Kranky, blu ish label or Thrill Jockey. Citrus City a no-go for now. Maybe just keep building CnD records.

Be the middle man - take advantage of opportunities without sacrificing my bands’ (and those I represent) integrity.

Reach sleep destroyer.

Last night at Ted’s - great DJ set. Kidz bop remixes, Fancy. Crowd hated it. Ted disappointed we had to leave but it’s ok with everyone. Tall guy took aux right out of computer, have video. Started dancing - cucked everyone. Everyone thinks they’re the crazy charismatic guy. Am I actually? I think so. Syd thinks so. 

CnD Fest 2 , 3 , 4 at Purchase and beyond. Would like to play apartments, Scully’s den in BK (reach out) and Philly, DC etc.

Next voice memo album - 20 - 25 tracks right now. Better than the first. Danny said best album ever.

Working on “My oh Maia Reason Why” video - my favorite video I’ve ever seen. Getting good feedback.

Important to collab with certain SUNY people before I go:

Members of Lip Critic, Dawson, Neal, Gabe.

Send stuff back and forth with Joseph Kress. 

Need to write song about not sharing a stage w unstable Car and Driver - cost me 2 gigs. Ok because I had the police interaction that night. 

Things have been working out quite well. Syd is keeping me in check. Main priorities are keep the energy going while I can and make sure everyone around me is comfortable with me doing my thing, specifically mom, sofia.

Going to Only Angels tomorrow to collab with Alex.

Tues/Wed in RI with Zach Gorton. Need to see Nick Holcomb, Sofia, Will Orchard if he’s around. Riley in Boston? Would love to. 

Visit Dad soon on the way to Richmond, in a few weeks perhaps. Grandma Roberta etc. They have a BBQ place now - I bet it’s great. 

Follow up in the morning (3 hours from now) with wedding band, Kevin Daniels, drummer etc.

Film sunrise sessions at Purchase: My Ride’s Here, Splendid Isolation, Keep me in your heart, Studebaker, Cat’s in the Cradle, Everybody that you know. Don’t think twice, Boots of Spanish Leather, Someday my Prince, Teenage Dirtbag, Arthur (Woof Woof), Forget You, Signed Sealed Delivered, Superstition, The Promise, Hold me now (TT), Love on Top, Townes Van Zandt, 1-800 superstar, Evan Wright, Tom Petty, Blinded By the Light, Searching for a Heart, Mag Field’s, Barenaked Ladies, TMBG, Dolly Parton one sided love, Byrds, Beatles, Kinks, Stones, Parquet Courts, T Swift (Red, Way I loved you), Mitski, Sasami, Anything Could Happen, Beach House, He Needs Me, These Days, YLT, Beach Boys, Big Star Take Care, G500/Luna, Felt, Psychic TV, Shelia, BJM, Yellow Sarong, Over and Over, Hazel St, Heatherwood, Helicopter, He Would’ve Laughted, I wanna be your lover, The pump, Good enough (sleep destroyer), Them airs, BH (14, indian summer), help me scrape mucus off my brain), Beach Comber, DO YOUR THING, Icehead, Bobby, 1000 times, WIll Orchard, Bon Iver, MGMT, Tame impala, Instant Crush, etc. Art Vandelay, Quick Canal, Stereolab, Grouper, Broadcast, Animal Collective, Panda Bear, Bachelor Kisses, Cranberries, Cure, Pastels, MBV, I found a reason, pale blue eyes, Deerhoof, Gretel Alex G, Dancing w tears in my eyes, Elvis Costello, No age(things i did), Are ya ok, Maus, Ariel, R Stevie, Aphex Twin, Zomes, Vampire Weekend etc.

Bring Laptop for Beats on some and lyrics for all. 

Love life more than ever before. Music feels so good. Want to help, make amends, everything that moondog did. Don’t be homeless much longer.

Not sure if I like throbbing gristle - definitely like Psychic TV.

How savage should diss tracks be? Very? Match the severity of the person’s treatment of me/others. Aka - pretty bad for all except for Auto.

Listened to new Kanye today - 10x better and more influential than death grips. 

Realized today that i’ve spent my whole life wishing I was Kanye and now I am Kanye. Feels very good.

Everyone is gifted but internet makes us angst. 

I am mostly Camus right now - maybe more Kierkegaard soon. Religion and Terrence Malik. Still need to read books.

Order of Books: The graduate Portrait of the artist Consider Lobster Infinite Jest Pynchon Ulysses (At recommendation of American gamer association)

Syd is incredibly gifted. Want to help her feel comfortable doing art/work here in the chaos but also sort out the chaos for both of ours’ sake. I thrive in it, she tolerates well. Want to move to Riverdale still, maybe East Williamsburg with Backpack Chris. We’ll see about money. Philly perhaps, little too far. Jersey is good location but bad commute. Bad to RI. 

Visit RI and Boston Tues - Thurs. Sell Cigarettes at Concerts. Feels right.

Keep smoking for now - quit end of summer perhaps. 

Don’t have Corona Virus - glad we are not quarantined. Still be smart. Don’t expose mom regardless. Protect at ALL costs. 

Really though, why does Journee hate me? Write new track (Journee into forever nevermore not now not ever (Lou)) or Journee into SJW self righteous moral posturing (way too savage - maybe voice memo outro)

AR Kane album is incredible. Syd loves too. Sample everything.

Crazy - sound better at jazz than ever in my life. Exploring harmony - never practice. Teach free lessons all the time. Love the diminished scale. Might be best jazz guitarist to ever live. Time will tell. Would be cool long term. Prefer singing. 

Getting good at piano too.

I’m my favorite lyricist/comedian/actor.

Is maia right, acting isn’t hard? Weird they can’t act.

^Remember to delete^

Don’t share this on Facebook yet.

Why does Journee hate me so much? Just the Louis CK joke?

People who stay home and do nothing hate to see irreverent people doing things.

People like when you’re losing - don’t like to see you win.

^That makes me sound crazy.

F00D outsider might make me famous first.

Need to keep up with legal situation.

Hope mom and dad both live long. Call Syd, get something nice for everyone in family. Get weird jewel cases. Order jewelry from etsy. Post merch on bandcamp.

Finish album art soon. Music videos. Get better at animation etc. Pay Ben for his poster. Actually really good. Maybe album art? Duo album! Record in Wisconsin, release under his name. WIll success be good for Ben? I think so. Still can’t believe Liv told him I wasn’t ok. Wow - good content for lyrics. You truly cannot write this.

How will people react to diss tracks? Extremely negatively. Or no reaction. We shall see. Maybe no real names in the titles...... only on Oh my. 4 names in titles is too many. Don’t release Auto track. Maybe on Voice Memos. 

Track List: Good God Bed Head Rosa Reprise Oh My House Pop 1 skydive Pop 2 APhex GVO Pay 4 Take some Cherish Stars in F Are ya ok too bright Honeys Get to work Everybody That You Know Frost Bit BPC NYC New Age Heimet Helmet Deadbeat dads watermill for slitting bars romantic song david byrne Cinema study in cinema Brain ego Cherry doc marten Can’t liv w/o Venmo groceries Oh you like?

See Jack Fortin in NYC soon. Either my event or his. 

Things are still good. Syd will be a great filmmaker. WIll maybe will end up with a dancer or a filmmaker - Probably not a musician. WIll have many loves. 

Things are good right now - hope they stay that way. 

Feel like Ezra Keonig - hopefully someone reads this one day and agrees. Different time in history and the internet - hope this is less cringe than Ezra’s blog , probably not. Ezra, if you’re reading this, sorry. See ya at Bernie’s rally.

Masterpost of my fics on AO3

So I wanted to have a place to show off all my fics and I have finally gotten around to puttting them all on a list here so I can share it.

I hope some of you read my stuff and enjoy it. I had a lot of fun writing these, especially the memoir-esque on (Harry Potter and the Sexual Awakening) and my current WIP, Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy in Strange Magic becasue it’s sort of detective-noir/urban fantasy.

If you read any and like them, stop by and say hi!

1. Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy in Strange Magic (37K WIP update weekly, M/E)

Summary: It’s been five years since the Battle of Hogwarts and Harry Potter is an auror, who catches wind of a series of magical surges that he thinks are linked to something insidious, but with a mildly tarnished reputation, he has a hard time convincing people of the problem especially so soon after the war. Harry joins forces with unexpected allies to help him find the source of the magical surges and save the wizarding world again, even if it means going against the very Ministry for which he works.

Main Tags: auror!Harry, potionsmaster!Draco, case fic, slow burn/slow build, lots of angst and sadness (be warned), some triggers like mention of past rape/abuse, mystery, suicidal thoughts, detrustive behavior, EWE, bi!Harry, gay!Draco

2. A Series of Unfortunate Ghosts (26K, E)

Summary: It’s sixth year and Draco Malfoy’s life is about to change thanks to some meddlesome ghosts who show him the path he is on is not the only path for him. Between their ghoulish advice and some deep soul searching, Draco regains some of the hope he lost.

Chapter 5: Fallin’ All In You

Cathy walks through the campus on her way home after a busy day at the hospital but Liam keeps popping up in her head, making her smile. Although she tried to stay away from him, she can’t ignore the fact that nobody has ever made her feel the way he does — whenever he looks deep into her eyes and smiles, he makes her want to give herself completely to him; his scent has something intoxicating and makes her feel safe and turned on at the same time; the warmth of his body is so inviting it makes her wish to drown in him.

After a short trip to the supermarket, Cathy arrives home and goes straight to Meg’s room. She knocks at the door and opens it slowly.

„Hey, how are you guys feeling?“, she asks.

Meg sneezes a couple of times before saying, „Not good… This is the worst cold I have ever had“. 

Cathy walks into the room and Drakes starts coughing before saying: „You shouldn’t come in here. If you get sick and can’t go to that concert, Liam is gonna kills us!“

She giggles and puts a hand on their forehead trying to feel their temperatures, „I’ll be fine. I’m going to cook a chicken soup for you, meanwhile you both should take your temperature“, she takes the thermometer on Meg’s desk and hands it to her, „And drink a lot of water!“

„Ohh, you are an angel! Chicken soup sounds like heaven right now…“,  Meg says, putting the thermometer under her armpit.

„Alright, you two try to sleep a little and I’ll wake you up once the soup is ready“, Cathy smiles and leaves the room.

After taking a shower, she goes to the kitchen and get’s all the ingredients on the counter. Cathy turns on the radio and starts cutting the vegetables, when her phone rings. 

„Hi there“, she smiles, holding the phone with her shoulder while she slices some carrots.

„Hey Cathy, I’m on the field and practice is gonna start in a bit but I wanted to know how you’re doing“.

She giggles, „Gosh, you are sweet sometimes…“, on the other side she hears Liam chuckling, „I’m fine, just tired. And you? Oh, before I forget this, Drake is going to spend a few days here. He and Meg have a really bad cold and we don’t want our QB to get sick“.

„Ohhh but what if you get sick? We have a concert to go to in the end of the week…“, he says worried.

„I know, I promise I’m taking care!“

„No, no, no! I am not taking any chances…“, he pauses for a short moment, „Why don’t you come stay with me?“.

„Erm, I don’t think this is necessary. I could still stay in my room and have no contact with them at all, if I wanted!“, she smiles.

„Yeah, as if you would do that! You’re a med student, I bet you keep going into their room to check up on them… am I right?“, he chuckles.

„Maybe… but whenever I go in, I have a surgical mask on!“, she smiles.

„I’m serious. You can stay in my room, I will take Drake’s… you will have your own bathroom with bathtub and all, plus I promise to not disturb you“, he tries to persuade her.

„Aren’t you afraid I could go through your things?“, Cathy giggles.

„Hmm, you can go through my things if you want“.

„Li… you know I am kidding, don’t you? I’d never do that“, she says.

„You can do whatever you want… as long as it’s you, I don’t mind. What do you say? It will be fun“, he smiles.

„I don’t know…“, she stops for a minute to think about it, „Okay, but I am not the one telling Drake that you are moving into his room!“, she laughs, „Listen, I’m cooking a chicken soup for them but I could meet you after practice…“, she says.

„Sounds great! See you soon, Cathy!“

——————

When Cathy arrives at the football field she sees Liam talking to his coach and waves at him. She puts her duffle bag on the floor and waits for him, noticing not far away from her, some girls talking about him. She reaches for her phone in her bag and writes Meghan:

„I didn’t know Liam Thompson was so popular. He has a fucking fan club waiting for him after practice!!!!“

She puts her phone back into her bag and watches as Liam runs in her direction — he doesn’t even realize that these girls were trying to get his attention. She smiles, enjoying the sight of him in his uniform.

He picks Cathy up and spins her around, „Oh, how I missed this smile!“, he puts her down and hugs her.

„Eww, you re all sweaty!!“, she giggles, „Now I need another shower, Li“, she puts her arms around him.

Liam laughs, looking into her eyes, „Don’t pretend you don’t like it!“, he brushes a strand away from her face. „I gotta go take a quick shower, do you mind waiting another 10-15 minutes?“

„Don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere“, she picks up her duffle bag and he walks her to the bench before leaving. She watches people slowly leaving the field for a couple of minutes before grabbing a school book from her bag and reading it while waiting — so concentrated that she doesn’t realize the time passing. 

Liam walks behind her, putting his hands on her shoulder, „Missed me?“, he smiles, „Of course not, whenever you have a book you forget about the world!“.

Cathy stands up and laughs, „Are you jealous?“

„Always… Now, that you found out my secret, it’s time to go home!“, he laughs, taking her duffle bag from her hand and they walk to his car.

„So… do you wanna cook together?“, she smiles when he puts his arm around her shoulders.

„I remember you telling me on the phone that you were tired and you already cooked soup for Drake and Meg… so I thought I’d surprise you with take out“, he pulls her closer to him, „Did you get Drake’s keys?“, he looks at her and she nods. „I’m gonna drop you off in front of the building and go pick up our food. Meanwhile, why don’t you take a bath and relax? You deserve it!“

Cathy stops for a moment and he looks at her, „Liam… you don’t have to do this for me!“

„You take care of everybody, just let me take care of you for once“, he turns to her and brushes the back of his hand over her cheek. „If you don’t have to study tonight we could watch a movie together, what do you say?“

„Sounds lovely“, she hugs him, resting her head on his chest for a moment and she sighs deeply.

„Hey, what is wrong?“, he says stroking her back.

„Nothing is wrong, Li. It’s just… you are being so nice to me“, she looks up at him and their eyes meet.

„You deserve more than I could ever give you, sweetheart“, he kisses her forehead and closes his eyes, enjoying the feeling of her body close to his.

„I like you too“, she whispers as a late answer to his confession on that Saturday evening.

Her voice and these words pull him out of his thoughts and he smiles, „Did I really hear what I think I heard?“

Cathy giggles and pushes him away, „I don’t know what you are talking about…“, she taps Liam on his shoulder and walks a few steps away from him, „Catch me if you can!“ and runs to his car parked on the other side of the street.

„What are you doing to me, baby?“, he chuckles and runs after her. It doesn’t take long for him to reach her. He picks her up and they laugh together, enjoying this unbelievable feeling they only feel when they are together. „Now, I’m gonna cary you to the car so you don’t run away from me again!“, he looks shortly at her and shakes his head with a smile on his face. 

A couple of hours later, after dinner, Liam and Cathy were watching a movie until Liam realized that she was hiding under the blanket.

„Are you scared?“, Liam pauses the movie and chuckles, pulling the blanket off her head, „Why did you suggested a horror movie then?“

„Oh, I do like horror movies but I am still scared of them… Pet Sematery for example, keeps me awake for two days but I’ll never say no to watching it!“, she smiles.

Liam shakes his head, chuckling, „Catherine, you are something else!“, he stares at her for a moment, „Come here, I’ll protect you“. She moves little closer to him and he wraps an arm around her, pulling her even closer. She nestles into his arms and smiles, enjoying his scent and his warmth.

—————

The week went by so fast and soon enough it was Friday. Cathy walks into the apartment after her morning run and goes straight to the kitchen. From the hallway she could already hear Liam mumbling something but she couldn’t make it out. She walks slowly into the kitchen, trying not to get his attention and cover his eyes with her hands „Guess who?!“, she giggles.

„The most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen!“, he smiles, taking her hands off his eyes and kissing them.

„You are such a flatterer…“, she leans on the counter, shaking her head and he turns around handing her a cup of coffee.

„I mean it“, he smiles, „Did you sleep well? How was your run?“

Cathy drinks a sip of her coffee, „I had a great night of sleep and the run was good. Did you sleep well? Are you missing your bed already?“

Liam chuckles, „I slept… I’m not a fan of waterbeds…“.

„Li, you can have your bed and I’ll take Drake’s. Why are you so stubborn?“, she puts her cup on the sink, getting close to Liam and he puts on a hand around her waist.

„Because I want you to sleep in my room… your scent is already everywhere in there and I like it“, he looks into her eyes and kisses her forehead gently.

Cathy puts one hand on his chest, moving it up to his neck, whispering, „I gotta go take a shower…“, she smiles and looks up into his eyes. „I can’t wait to go to the concert with you“

„I can’t wait for it either“, he chuckles.

Cathy laughs, „Good joke, Thompson! Do you even know one of his songs?“

„To be honest… I know a few lines from one song. But don’t get too excited now because I will only show it off once he sings it on stage!“, they laugh together for a moment, „I gotta take a shower too. See you later after your class?“, he places a kiss on her nose.

„Yeah, have a nice day, Li“, she leaves his arms and turns around to go to her room.

„You too, Cathy“, he watches as she leaves.

——————

They arrive at the concert hall not too long after the concert started. Liam holds Cathy’s hand while they walk through the crowd, looking for a good place to watch the show.

„Are you sure, you don’t want to go to our seats. You will be able to see better from there!“, he says into her ear, “They are really good seats!“.

Cathy smiles, „Maybe later, let’s just enjoy it down here for a bit… at least from here we can dance!“

Liam chuckles, „As you wish but you can’t see anything from down here, can you?“, he tries to watch it from her height for a couple second, „Okay, hop on!“, he takes a knee in front of her.

Catherine looks at him surprised and lowers herself to him, „Li, please stand up! Don’t worry too much about me, I’m fine“.

He looks at her and says, „How long will you leave me here in this position? Hop on, Cathy. Now who is being stubborn?!“

She giggles, „Alright! Alright! If you insist!“, she climbs on his shoulders. They watch the concert like this for a while. She doesn’t know but this is Liam’s first concert ever. Back in Cordonia, he would never be allowed to go into a place like this — too much noise, too many people, too many chances to be attacked and impossible to know where it’s coming from. He holds Cathy’s hands and is so happy he can share this moment with her.

After a few songs, Liam takes the knee again and Cathy hops off his shoulders. He takes her hand and they walk through the crowd looking for a food and beverage vendor. 

„Just so we are clear here, it’s my treat!“, Cathy says in his ear.

„Not a chance! It was my idea, I’m paying!“, Liam shakes his head smiling.

„You already bought the tickets, Li. Please, let me get this… please!“, she looks into his eyes and smiles. 

‚How can I say no to that smile‘, he thinks. „Okay, if this makes you happy, why not!“. Cathy gives him a peck on the cheek. 

After having a snack, they walk back to the place where they were before. Cathy stays in front of Liam and he places his arms protectively around her. A slow song is being played and Liam whispers into Cathy’s ear „May I have this dance?“. She turns around with a big smile on her face and nods, wrapping her arms around Liam’s neck. She looks into his eyes for a moment before resting her head on this chests. He kisses the top of her head, swaying to the music and she looks up at him, smiling — Liam leans in and whispers in her ears the only lines of the song that means something to him:

‚Every time I see you baby I get lost

If I'm dreaming, baby, please don't wake me up

Every night I'm with you I fall more in love

Now I'm laying by your side

Everything feels right since you came along

I'm thinking baby

You are bringing out a different kind of me

There's no safety net that's underneath,

I'm free falling all in you‚

After Liam declared his feelings for her, Cathy buries her face in his chest for a moment, blushing terribly. Then she looks up at him and smiles, placing both of her hands on his cheeks. There are some things she would like to tell him too but this moment feels so perfect, as if there were only the two of them in the world… as if the song was being played only for them.

Liam leans in and whispers: „May I kiss you?“, he lingers waiting for an answer.

„What took you so long?“, she whispers into his ears and he shakes his head smiling like a fool. 

He pulls a few inches away to look into her eyes for a moment. His hands move from her waist to her cheeks, one of his thumbs brushes over her lips. His heart is beating faster and faster as his face slowly comes down to hers, so close that he can smell the sweet fragrance with notes of jasmine she has on — he knows that when his lips meet hers there will be no turning back for him, his heart will be forever hers. He brushes a strand of hair away from her face and smiles gently. A shiver runs down Cathy’s spine when she feels his warm breath touching her lips and she holds her breath, closing her eyes for a couple seconds before she finally feels his soft lips touching hers for the first time. So gentle, so electrifying and intoxicating that even the background sound disappears. Liam wraps his arms around her, pulling her closer as if he could never let her go — this indescribable feeling is so powerful and unique as if he could see and taste every color of the rainbow, almost as if they could catch a smile in a bottle. It’s soft. It’s sweet. It’s love. 

After what felt like minutes, Liam’s lips leave hers… He is breathless and has a smile on his face. Liam leans his forehead on hers, staring deep into her eyes and feeling this soul connection that he has never felt before, it’s like levitating off the ground and floating with her in his arms… no words necessary anymore. Cathy smiles coyly and gives a peck on his lips, turning around and leaning against his body. She puts her arms over his, enjoying the safety of his warmth. He kisses the top of her head and they smile, enjoying this moment of bliss.

When the Devil Cries pt. 15

This story is also on AO3 

Previous chapter

From Arthur’s POV

ONE MONTH LATER

RYAN RESIDENCE, SAINT DENIS

Eddie and I trotted underneath the calm night sky, steadily making our way back to the pianist’s house as the rest of the city dimmed down with the fading of the sun.

By now, the boy and I had been ridin’ all over this country for the past few weeks -- bounty hunting, moving from town to town, hidin’ from Rose’s men -- and strangely enough...part of me was sad that it was all finally coming to an end, despite the danger we were in.

Spending time with that kid...it made me feel free. Made me feel like I didn’t have a single, goddamned worry in the world. And somethin’ about him just gave me the courage to step outta this angry, spiteful shell I had created. I mean, I was still grumpy...but at least when I was with Eddie, I knew that weren’t all there was to me.

As much as I enjoyed bein’ around the musician though, I figured I had dragged him across the wilds for long enough and that it was time to bring the boy home, now that things had calmed down in Saint Denis.

Neither of us had set foot anywhere near the city ever since that god-awful shootout, and it looked like Dutch had also kept his distance from the “civilized” land, allowing the local law to lower their guard a bit. And on top of that, I didn’t see any sign of Atticus or his men, which meant they had probably given up their search in this part of Lemoyne.

Eddie should’ve been safe for the time being, and I certainly prayed I was right.

Hitching our horses outside the property’s fence, I walked the pianist to the front door as the both of us stretched our arms and neck, stiff from the long ride home.

It had been quite a while since I last saw this house, and the minute I laid eyes upon it, memories started flooding my head like a wave on the shore.

I remembered the first day I met Eddie; when he asked me to come to his house to hear one of his compositions. Life seemed so much simpler back then, and part o’ me still couldn’t believe how much we had been through since those days.

Dealin’ with Middleton, surviving Rose’s assassins, hunting the Arlington Twins and Archibald Hill -- Eddie and I truly were almost unstoppable when working together. I mean, sure, the kid might not’ve been as good a gunslinger as Dutch, or Hosea, or even me...but he sure as hell had learned a lot since our first encounter. And I...I was proud of him. Extremely proud.

“Welp, here we are,” I said, gently holding Eddie’s hand as we walked through the front door. “Home sweet home.”

The pianist let out a content sigh and took his hat off, placing it on a nearby end table as he settled in.

“Never thought I’d say it, but...I missed Saint Denis. It’ll be nice to sleep in an actual bed again. I’m exhausted.”

I laughed at that. “I bet.”

Eddie gazed at me and beamed brightly, bringing out the soft-hearted side of him I had grown so familiar with.

“Thank you for all your help these past few weeks, Arthur. You didn’t have to stay and help me survive out there...but you did. I won’t forget it.”

I shrugged, holding up a casual hand. “Ah, don’t mention it. Least I could do. ...You, um...you gonna be okay by yourself? I mean, I know things have calmed down here, but still, you never know.”

The boy slipped off his coat and threw it over a couch. “I should be alright. You’ve shown me how to defend myself, after all. And if anything does happen, I promise you’ll be the first one to know.”

“Good,” I said. “Just...stay alert, okay? And be well.”

“The same goes for you,” Eddie replied. “I can’t imagine running with a gang is anywhere near secure. So, stay safe.”

I let out a quiet chuckle. “Ain’t no such thing as safe out there, but I’ll do my best.”

A doubtful thought suddenly popped up in my mind, and I gazed at  Eddie for a moment before workin’ up the courage to ask him about it.

“...You...sure you’re okay with me bein’ an outlaw?” I checked. He crossed his arms.

“Well...I wouldn’t say I’m okay with it,” he admitted. “But if you’ve been an outlaw for this long, I assume it’s because you have no choice.”

I nodded somberly. “And you’d be correct. For now, anyway. I ain’t really got any other options at the moment.”

The boy didn’t seem bothered. “Well then, you do what you have to do.”

I was quiet in response, leading Eddie to cock his head at me as he effortlessly pulled out any secrets I was hidin’ behind my stone-cold expression.

“...You don’t believe me.” He concluded.

I threw a limp hand in the air, patting my lap once it fell back down.

“There you go again. Readin’ me like a goddamned book.”

Eddie giggled and took a few steps forward, affectionately rubbing the side of my arm.

“You should know it’s pointless to keep things from me by now, Arthur. What’s on your mind?”

A conflicted sigh escaped me.

“It’s just...” I glanced around the house in uncertainty, “...you ain’t the first person I been with, Eddie. Ain’t the first person to learn about all...this. See... there was this girl a long time ago that I loved. Her name was Mary. I met her when I was young and stupid -- I’m still stupid now, mind you -- but she played me for a fiddle like no one else alive. We was even engaged at one point.”

Eddie glanced at my ringless finger, a look of sorrow spreading across his face.

“Was?”

I clenched my jaw, trying not to open up too much.

“...Her daddy found out I was an outlaw,” I explained. “Learned about the kinda life I had. About what I did...and he hated it. Hated me even more. Eventually, we...called off the engagement, and Mary went off and settled down with some other man.”

The boy frowned out of sympathy. “I mean...I’m glad you’re with me now, but I’m also sorry you had to go through that.”

I shook it off. “Nah, don’t be. Like I said -- it was a long time ago. I guess...I’m just surprised you didn’t take off like she did when you found out I was workin’ with Dutch goddamn Van der Linde. That’s usually the response I get.”

Eddie almost looked insulted. “What-- you really thought I was just going to...abandon you? Because of that?”

“Wouldn’t blame you.”

The pianist grabbed my hand, holding it in a reassuring manner.

“Arthur...I may not approve of what you do, or the way you’ve hurt people, but you are a good man. In your own, twisted way. In fact, you’re the last person I’d want to leave behind, and you’re fooling yourself if you think I ever will.”

I fell silent, admittedly a bit surprised at the response. I was expectin’ Eddie to be at least a little dubious about our relationship, considering I was a wanted man in more states than I could count, but the man seemed adamant in his decision to stay with me. And I loved him even more for it.

I lightened my tone slightly and gripped Eddie’s hand in return, saying a final goodbye to him before taking my leave.

“...Thank you, Eddie,” I said, my voice just above a whisper. “I still doubt I’m a good man like you claim, but...I must’ve done somethin’ right to end up with you. Well, anyway, I’ll let you get some sleep. I know you’re tired, and you got a lot to attend to. Just be careful, okay? And come to me if you ever need anything.”

The boy’s smile came back. “I will. But you have to take care of yourself, too.” He pecked a tender kiss on my lips. “Goodnight, Arthur. I hope our paths cross again soon. I’d love to explore the wilds with you sometime.”

I chuckled, heading towards the front door. “You just can’t get enough of the country, can you?”

He shook his head and stayed in the doorway, waving a friendly goodbye as I stepped back out into the cool, dark night.

“Nope. And thanks to you, I probably never will.”

A WHILE LATER

KAMASSA RIVER

Relaxing by the river with my horse, I made no haste to get back to camp as the moon slowly sank its way under the thin clouds, casting a pale but somehow pretty light across the fields surrounding me.

There were only a few hours left until morning, and if I timed this right, I was hopin’ to get back to Shady Belle somewhere close to dawn. I didn’t wanna go galloping into camp in the middle of the night, but I also didn’t wanna deal with the gang when everybody was awake.

For some reason, the people there always seemed to end up roamin’ towards me one way or another, and the last thing I wanted was to be greeted with Swanson’s drunken ramblings, or one of Micah’s attempts at being “friendly.”

I honestly liked Micah even less when he was nice.

Dipping my hand into the river, I cupped some cool water in my palm and washed the grime off my face, suddenly feelin’ much more refreshed at the sensation.

It had been a long time since I was last in the wilderness all by myself, and as much as I missed Eddie’s company already, I couldn’t deny that I appreciated the solitude. Somethin’ about being alone with no one else but my horse just gave me peace of mind, and the longer I lingered here, the less I wanted to return to camp.

Though, I had to confess: I did miss Dutch and Hosea a little. Even if we didn’t always see eye-to-eye. They were like fathers to me, after all. Despite how much we argued sometimes.

Sure, Dutch had been actin’ a bit crazy recently, and things only seemed to be getting worse between him and Hosea...but in the end, we was family. We was a team. There was a strange, deformed love holdin’ us reprobates together, and I just hoped that our escape from the Pinkertons and civilization wouldn’t tear that apart.

I supposed only time would tell.

Standing up from the ground, I wiped the water off my hands and prepared to mount up, only to freeze mid-action when the sound of someone cocking a gun reached my ears.

A familiar, raspy voice greeted me from behind, sending chills down my spine.

“Fancy meetin’ you here, Arthur Morgan,” they growled. “Wanna take a midnight stroll with me?”

Raising my hands in the air, I moved at the speed of a sloth and hesitantly glanced over my shoulder, peering at the face behind the gun as my heart came to a halt.

“...Colm O’Driscoll?” I muttered. “The hell you doin’ out here?”

Before he could respond, my horse started to whinny nervously as a second pair of footsteps emerged from the shadows, their shoes crunching the grass underneath them as a man whom I’d never seen before came into view.

I flicked my eyes to the side, absolutely perplexed by this new face.

This son-of-a-bitch had to be one of the craziest lookin’ fellers I’d ever seen in my life...and that was sayin’ something.

This man had skin so pale to the point where he looked sickly, and it only made the balding red hair on his head stand out even more. He had clearly made some sad attempt to slick it back and tidy it up, but regardless, multiple strands refused to stay in place and stuck out in wild angles, adding to his insane temperament.

Despite his messy hair however, the man actually had quite a groomed beard and wore a black, three-piece suit along with a golden chain hangin’ off the vest...but his clothes didn’t match any of the O’Driscolls I’d seen.

The part about him that really caught my attention though, was the old wound on his face. There was a ghastly scar tearin’ straight through his right eye, forcing it closed and rendering the poor bastard half-blind. Meanwhile, the other one was surrounded by dark circles and crow’s feet, enhancing the nightmarish grin he sported as he examined me.

Just who the hell was this maniac?

“Sorry, partner,” he apologized insincerely, sounding lazy but surprisingly articulate. “I hate to bring weapons to a...civilized discussion, but I hear you aren’t the type to cooperate.”

I scoffed, holding my ground. “Most people aren’t when you aim a gun at their head.”

He chuckled. “True enough. But if you don’t mind, I think I’ll keep those guns up...just as a precaution.”

“And who are you?” I asked, my eyes following his every move. “You an O’Driscoll?”

The man shook his head. “Nah...not an O’Driscoll. Though, truth be told, my name don’t matter much, anyway. Usually, it’s the scars people remember me by.”

I gestured to the faded gash. “How’d you get ‘em?”

He paused for a second, seemingly puzzled by my question as he tilted his head in confusion.

After a moment of thinking though, the man let out an abrupt laugh once it clicked and grinned even wider in realization.

“Oh, I wasn’t talking about my scars...” he corrected, pointing a finger at me. 

His expression sparked with a wicked excitement.

“...I was talking about yours.”

Giving me no time to react, Colm suddenly bashed the grip of his revolver into the back of my head and knocked me out cold, causin’ the world around me to go dark as a hoarse chortle escaped him and my vision doubled.

There was no one around to help me right now, and before I could do anything to fight back, I could already feel the roughness of a rope wrapping itself around my wrists and ankles.

Shit. What the hell had I gotten myself into now?

The two bastards lifted me onto another horse, mounting up as they carried me away to wherever they pleased.

“...You’re ours now, Morgan,” Colm whispered in my ear, his voice echoing in my head as he watched me slip out of consciousness. “And ain’t no one savin’ you this time...”

From Eddie’s POV

THE NEXT MORNING

Pouring myself a cup of fresh coffee, I took the warm mug into my hands and sat down in the living room, quietly reading the newspaper as I prepared for the day ahead.

I couldn’t lie. It felt strange not waking up on the ground with Bullet drooling above me, and it felt even stranger to not have Arthur by my side.

I had spent so long traveling with that mysterious man by now that, I actually considered it a privilege to sleep in the same place I woke up in. And I had only been doing this for a month or so. I couldn’t imagine how he felt.

Still, it was nice to be back in the heart of civilization again, despite all the bad memories stalking me here. I doubted I’d be able to revive my career as a performer at the Râleur again, considering how erratic my schedule had become, but there had to be some work for me around town.

I recalled the bartender at the Bastille saying they needed a new pianist, and with my newfound “gunslinging” skills, perhaps there was a chance I could also hunt down a bounty on my own. Though, I had to admit, that wasn’t my first option. I wasn’t nearly as experienced as Arthur, and I didn’t want to get myself killed chasing after a handful of money.

I guessed the Bastille would have to do for now.

Finishing my coffee, I put the mug down and wandered over to the coat rack, preparing to leave. If there was an opportunity for me to get a new job, I wanted to seize it as soon as possible. There were only so many outlaws I could chase if I needed extra money, and as much as I enjoyed the spontaneous nature of the wilderness, I couldn’t deny that stability offered much more comfort. And at the moment, that was what I needed.

Swinging the front door open, I headed out into the crisp morning weather as Bullet greeted me with a welcoming neigh, his tone oddly a tad more agitated than usual. I supposed I wasn’t the only one struggling to adjust to city life.

Just as I began to descend the porch’s steps however, I was presented with a peculiar scene and noticed a lone hat sitting on the ground...just waiting for me to find it.

The hat looked like someone had intentionally positioned it there, and the longer I stared at it, the more my blood turned to ice as I realized who it belonged to.

...Arthur.

Gulping out of fear, I cautiously knelt down and picked up the item, revealing a torn note lying underneath. It didn’t resemble Arthur’s handwriting -- at least, compared to what I saw on his portrait of me -- and there was an unnerving set of initials scribbled at the bottom. No immediate names jumped to mind at the sight of them, but something about the way they were written, and the distant bells they rang in my head just...made me feel uneasy.

I brought the note into my grasp, reading the short message that had been inked onto the surface:

“Come to Caliban’s Seat within twenty-four hours, or next time, I’ll be delivering his head. Hope to see you there, Theodore. -RK”

I froze out of terror, unable to stop myself from shivering like a puppy in the rain as my heart stopped beating altogether.

The only people who called me Theodore were the ones trying to kill me. And the only person I could think of who had those initials...was Rodrick Kingsley. One of Atticus Rose’s most valued gang members.

Despite being nothing but a group of sick, rotten degenerates, Atticus and his men were the equivalent of a dysfunctional family that, for some reason, just couldn’t rip itself apart. They always had each other’s backs and yet, they were also one argument away from stabbing them.

I had seen how much faith Atticus put into his gang...and I had seen just how close they really were.

If Rodrick was here, that meant Atticus was with him.

And they were going to kill Arthur.
