What is your favorite piece of media right now? Tell me about it!
Hmm!
Wish we had a more fun or interesting answer to this but we're in a lil' bit of a slump atm--
Spent the first few months of the year obsessively playing Final Fantasy XIV after a group of friends invited us to play with them-- still plugging along but kind of burned out atm and trying to not ignore the people in our life by being addicted to an MMO
Sleepyhead and I do weekly binge watches of shows and just went through all of Severance which is a decent show that is frustrating because sometimes it feels plot points and characters exist to facilitate the aura of mystery rather than anything in the show itself-- but we like it all the same
Watching Andor too but we have a significant grudge against Star War due to running a movie theatre when the sequel trilogy came out and not really caring too much about it as a cultural touchstone
Filmwise REALLY wanna see Sinners because Coogler can do no wrong in our eyes-- loved him since we saw Fruitvale Station during a work trip in 2013
Got so many films we need to catch up on--
But really the answer is "none at the moment"
Past few years we had our phases-- our Immortal Hulk phase, our TV Glow phase, our EEAAO phase, House of Leaves phase, Mr. Robot phase, Left at London phase, Narcissist Cookbook phase-- heck we just got off of binge listening to Hospice and realizing how much our marriage was kind of not okay through art
But something or other about the past few months (wonder what it could be???) has made it so that our regular single point of focused obsession on a single piece of media just kind of-- stopped?
Only thing we can do is wait for it to come back <3

BUT NOT TO BE A BUMMER!
Right now we are watching Daja play Blue Prince
Blue Prince is a puzzle game that gives you a 9x5 grid and asks you to build rooms to get from the Entrance Hall (bottom middle) to the Antechamber (top middle)
Tumblr media
Every room can have items (such as the sledgehammer, shovel and lockpick in that screenshot) that help you progress as you have a certain number of steps, coins, gems and keys to get from one side of the house to the other
BUT
On top of that there are little puzzles in every room-- every room has 2 images in it for instance and you need to find out what those pictures mean to give you a clue to open some safes that appear in certain rooms and you need to work out what rooms contain to solve another puzzle elsewhere and you need to navigate a series of clues that lead to other clues that lead to additional things to solve
It starts as a simple "find room 46" which becomes "unlock the antechamber" which leads to "find access to the hidden room" which leads to---
well
Part of the fun is discovering what it all leads to
As far as Daja makes me aware the game has been out for 3 weeks and no one has definitively solved it
Things get super abstract by the end of things and though one can get to credits within 12 hours (less than 45 minutes for a speedrun) it just keeps stretching
The game is VERY much inspired by House of Leaves (borrowing some of its color coding even) and is the nearest any piece of media has come to emulating the sheer level of obsession that the book gives by presenting you with an open ended piece of fiction that constantly gives you a reason to leave and just forces a certain obsessive mindset to overstay their welcome picking apart the seams of both the narrative and gameplay
With House of Leaves it's researching the footnotes, translating Pelafina's letters and trying to force the layers of narrative to communicate in some kind of "true" cohesion where lies and abstraction are removed (the solution being of course that none of it is true because it's a work of fiction - though for those who are still enjoying the thrill then the fact that the author's sister Poe has been written into the Control/Alan Wake universe as of the latest Alan Wake II DLC can lead to spilling over into crossover territory further blurring lines of reality and fiction and oh no I've gone crosseyed) Blue Prince just leaves a person trying to constantly solve an extra puzzle and find out if there really is a True Ending to the game
After all
There's an item slot on the inventory which has never been filled

DogDays of Future Past: DogDay finds himself confronted by one of The Doctor's Bodies, because Sawyer has been hearing the many things DogDay says that others have been dismissing as nonsensical ramblings, and he is intrigued.
I'm actually planning a full fic, here's a possible snippet-
"Here."
Angel pulled their arms away from their chest, revealing a yellow bundle that made up the high-security uniform, complete with gas mask and all.
"Oh, good job," DogDay said, turning as they began to unfold the uniform. "How did you even get it?"
"Nobody really pays attention to the cleaners," Angel explained with a grunt. "I just walked into the laundry. Nobody even noticed I grabbed it. If they do-"
"They'll blame one of them," DogDay said, putting the pieces together. It had been the same logic he had used on the Mini-Critters once or twice. Before the human behind him had reached Playcare, the number of minis had been far greater.
"Okay, how do I look?"
He turned and found himself cocking his head. Angel looked fine, of course. However, the uniform they grabbed looked a little big, with a bit of sag. Hopefully, putting on the mask helped. "It's not perfect, but you won't be down there long. You know the plan?"
"Sneak in there as a guard, get the Omni-Hand and the codes, and get out," they rattled off. "Simple and easy."
DogDay suddenly had a bad feeling about this.
-_-
Sage was honestly surprised at how easy this was.
Nobody had stopped or questioned them. The single guard manning the control room at this hour had happily accepted the "our company is bad at communication" excuse and had left for a few hours. If this wasn't a place where children were being turned into toys and tortured, they would be concerned.
However, it was, so instead, they turned the office upside down, looking for every security code that existed in the building...which they found in a little black book. It was easy enough to write down.
Next, the Omni-Hand.
That was a little harder.
Few in the company had seen of it or even heard of it. It was an upgrade to the red hand done by a chip, only used by the highest ranking members of Playtime. There was only one Omni-Hand chip, so if it got lost, the higher-ups were screwed.
Unlike the codes, the chip was not in a convenient drawer in the security office.
It took a bit to find. After unscrewing the handle to the warden's office to poke around, Sage discovered the chip in his safe. Now, they had to get downstairs.
They didn't notice the TV screen light up.

Okay I had this thought yesterday and couldn’t get it out of my head
Janny nonsense below the cut
It had happened. After months of pining Jake and Danny had finally confessed to each other and sealed their love with a beautifully passionate night.
Jake had snuck out of Danny’s room early in the morning, hopefully before the others even woke up, but he didn’t like the feeling of sneaking around. So even after just recently overcoming their fears of rejection- what should have been smooth waters now- they were already faced with another hurdle. What were they going to tell Josh and Sam?
“I could just tell Sam and you could tell Josh?” Danny suggested, tickling his fingers under the cut up hem of Jake’s shirt. Danny had been the one tiptoeing through the hallway to slip into Jake’s room undetected this time. Though his intentions for the visit were more along the lines of less talking- more fucking- Jake insisted they figure this out first.
Dannys fingers brushing against the ticklish skin of his lower stomach were not making it easy for Jake to think, but then it came to him just as quickly as the giggle he couldn’t hold in. “Okay hear me out,” Jake instructed as he grabbed Danny’s hand, “what if we don’t tell them?”
“I thought the whole point of this conversation was because you didn’t want to sneak around?” Danny replied, more or less unconcerned with what the outcome was. Of course he cared what Jake wanted, but personally whatever Jake decided he was okay with.
“Yes precisely, but what if we don’t sneak around either?”
Now Jake had Danny’s attention piqued. So he sat up from where he was previously leaning against Jake’s shoulder in bed. “Alright, I’m listening”.
“We just go about our relationship” he swallowed at those words, relationship sounding really good in this context, “and we see how long it takes them to catch on”.
Danny paused to think it over for a moment, though he was already game from the beginning. “Want to bet on who you think will say something first?”
The corners of Jake’s mouth turned up into a big Cheshire Cat grin as he wrapped his arms around Danny’s shoulders and rolled over on top of him. This is why he loved Danny.
-
The next day they were back on the road. Jake boarded the bus last, looking around to see Josh sitting at the small table drinking a cup of coffee and Sam sitting on one of the couches across from Danny as they carried on a light conversation.
Jake dropped his stuff off in the back near his bunk then moved to join the others. There were a few options for him to sit. At the table with Josh, on either end of the couch Sam or Danny were sitting on, but he sat down right next to Danny. Like so close their thighs were touching.
Sam was rambling on, hardly stopping when Jake sat down, though his eyes did flick downwards when Danny settled in next to Jake like it was nothing.
Midway through his conversation Danny decided to take it one step further and leaned back, bringing his arm around the back of the couch where Jake was, and letting his hand rest on his opposite shoulder. Sam’s eyes flicked again and one of his brows twitched, but he didn’t ask what was going on since Danny was still acting so casual.
Jake on the other hand was pretty quiet, though he didn’t look uncomfortable, so Sam just let it go.
-
The next time was during sound check on the b-stage. Jake was sitting on his stool tweaking the tune on his acoustic while Sam and Josh were going over a few notes on their Unchained Melody duo.
Suddenly Danny came up from behind Jake and wrapped his fingers around his own, helping twist the peg until they successfully got the pitch just right.
“Thanks” Jake whispered to him with a bashful smile.
“No problem” Danny replied, sharing in the same smile. Then he looked up past Jake’s shoulder to see Josh turned around watching them curiously.
“What?” Danny questioned light heartedly.
“Oh nothing,” Josh replied, turning back around to grab his mic off the piano, “we going to do this or what?”
-
Then there was dinner. Sound check ran a little late, so they had food delivered to the venue.
“I should have ordered some fries too. I'm more hungry than I thought I was” Jake said after finishing his sandwich and not feeling satisfied.
“Here, have some of mine” Danny turned towards Jake, because of course they were sitting together again, and offered him one of his. Jake could have easily taken the fry, but instead he just opened his mouth and let Danny feed it to him with a chuckle.
“I want ketchup on the next one” Jake requested, letting Danny turn around to dip another fry in his pile of ketchup and feed him again.
“Oops” Danny saw a little red smear on the corner of Jake’s mouth and used his thumb to quickly wipe it off.
Out of the corner of his eye Jake saw Josh and Sam watching them, then they shared a look and shrugged before continuing to eat on their own.
Fuck, this was going to be harder than he thought it was.
-
After a few days of the same antics Jake was starting to get a little worried that neither Josh or Sam had said anything to either of them. He thought they were being blatantly obvious, though apparently not. It was starting to piss him off a little bit now.
“Ok, I think we should just take it up a notch. Like a lot of notches actually” Jake suggested.
“What did you have in mind?” Danny didn’t care either way, he was enjoying being able to flirt with Jake out in the open even if Jake had taken it on like a challenge. That’s what he adored about Jake anyway.
“I don’t know, I’ll come up with something”.
-
Back on the bus again it was the same scenario, only Sam was sitting at the table with a keyboard and Josh was sitting across from Danny on his phone.
“Hey Danny” Jake spoke up, getting everyone’s attention as he walked over and sat right in his lap, wrapping his arms around his neck to hold himself in place. “Want to go get some lunch alone?”
Danny’s eyes shifted from Josh to Sam who had both watched the scene be set in front of them, but then quietly went back to what they were doing like this was just normal Jake behavior.
Jake’s cheeks flushed, either from embarrassment for boldly sitting in Danny’s lap like this, or from frustration that his plan still didn’t work.
“Oh, umm sure, as long as the others are okay with not going?”
“I’m fine” Sam sounded off, not even looking up from his keys.
“Yeah, you guys go ahead” Josh said next, also not looking up from his phone. In fact he leaned back and crossed his legs to get more comfortable.
“On second thought, we could just stay here” Jake huffed, scooting closer to Danny in his lap so that they were practically face to face.
“Whatever you want Jake” Danny let his hands come to rest on his hips. He knew this was supposed to be a set up, but he couldn’t help but still have a little physical reaction in his jeans. He leaned in and whispered into Jake’s ear, “keep wiggling and we really will have to get out of here”.
Jake’s face flushed again as he twitched and felt the chub bump against his thigh.
It hadn’t been his intention to actually get Danny riled up, but he had to admit now that he was in this position he was feeling a little pressure building as well. They only had a couple of hours before they had to get moving again, but he wondered if they could actually find anywhere to go for a quickie.
“You guys gonna just start making out on the couch now or what?” Josh sighed, finally setting his phone down to look at them.
“What?” Jake turned to him in shock.
“Let’s get this straight, we know you guys are together. Don’t we Sam”.
Sam looked up now too, “yep, few weeks now”.
“Why didn’t you guys say anything?” Jake grunted, letting Danny go and moving to just sit next to him.
“We noticed you two acting funny. Sam asked me if I knew what was going on. I told him I had a suspicion but to keep quiet about it and see how long you guys would keep it up”.
“Wait, so you guys knew all along and chose not to say anything?” Danny questioned now, looking to Sam who just shrugged and nod his head. There’s no way they knew about the bet, but he couldn’t help but find it a little but funny how their reaction to keep quiet was the exact opposite reaction they were shooting for. Either way, the goal was accomplished, they knew and they weren’t mad about it.
“Well, if you know then does that mean we can make out on the couch now” Danny grinned and reached over to pull Jake back into his lap.
“Eww! Please no!” Sam groaned but Danny didn’t pay him any attention this time as he wrapped his arms around his boyfriend and planted a kiss right on his lips.

CRAWLS OUT HERE.
the pinned post. post pinned. whatever. it's HERE woooooooo!! *ahem*
Hi! You can call us Theo or Atrix. We use it/thon pronouns, and are a system!
We like to make things. Loooots of things. Currently, we have quite a few wips going. Our fandoms/interests at the moment are:
- Get a Snack at 4am: Snackcore
- our OCs & friends OCs
- CCCC & general Chonny Jash stuff
- Dreamswap/Fatal Flaws
- FNaF (games & movie)
- DSaF
- (kindof) ULTRAKILL
- Vocaloid
- Minecraft (we are trying to get into SMPs that don't have a ton of lore to catch up on atm, so if anyone has suggestions, hit us up !!)
- Yansim, to an extent (NO we do nOT support Yandev that's fuckin gross, we just like the concept okay..)
- BlockTales (to an extent; haven't finished yet!!)
- Regretevator
We run 4 sideblogs right now: @human-souls-reblog-dopamine , @thissys-editz, @supernovae-never-burn-alone, and @divided-they-were-created ! The last two are OC blogs, the first is our reblog sideblog.
Previously an unused cover channel, we've converted our YouTube Channel to be for OC content. Nothing much yet, buuut...
Tags beneath the cut.
Tumblr media
1. For generally talking, announcements, etc
2. Things we're passionate about, essays/rants/rambles, etc
3. Self-explanatory.
4. Like 2, but not really coherent. Lots of typos, vague/nonsensical, etcetera
5. When we get asks, regardless of if they're actual questions or not.
6. Reblog tag. Most used tag on this blog.. (edit: we now have a sideblog FOR reblogs!!)
7. Our art.
8. Our writing.
9. Our memes.
Tags that have since been added:
#theatrical freaks: on stage — for music from our music channel or that will go to that channel.
#theatrical freaks--opening night — for posts about songs/covers on our album Opening Night.
#playing tag on stage! — for tag games
Also, the format "the voice of [name]" is used in tags to show who posted/wrote the post. This one will be tagged 'the voice of eiren' because I, Eiren, wrote it!
Further edit: another tag format is "[name] fren". These are tags for friends/mutuals we interact with. For example, Xero is 'xero fren', Fen is 'fen fren', etc etc..

ain't no shame in havin' much to learn<3 the more we learn, the more we realize how much shit there is to learn and i am still learnin' too and it is a RIDE<3<3<3 but more than happy to share ideas~<3 if you want any more, i'm down to discuss~<3<3<3 and you can sift through the 'butchlander prompts'/'butchlander' tags on my blog for some more and definitely hectic ramblings of a mad crackhead. (do be warned lol, mpreg obsessed and no holds barred but a sucker for happy endings, and i tend to write way too much crap, this un's a doozy too)
also lmao falling way too deep into the butchlander/the boys rabbit hole way too quick. SAME<3
butt listen...
and WARNING: this may *actually* inspire you to do *bottom stiles*/*top wolves* (lmao, idk, not familiar with the dynamics of the ship/show as never watched but a guess ;) who knows, maybe it'll make you love it moar tho<3<3<3)
butt~ going back to that idea<3
there is absolutely something truly tantalizing about the 'strong' bowing before/handing over the reigns to the 'fragile', but i've always interpreted what that means (along with powerplay/dom/sub/balancing things out) a little differently from others i suppose~<3
i have always loved the idea 'protect those who cannot protect themselves' (why i love the hero genre in general)
but see (in my crazy eyes at least) the kink for the more powerful character bottoming/subbing comes from a desire to balance out the ship a certain way, which fair enough. it's a kink, it works~<3 hell, i feel it~<3<3<3
but i've never thought top/bottom had much to do with that<3 all superficial to me baby lol~<3 (or i guess a little different, what's annoying is that most of the discourse assumes a partner can't 'top' without penetrating the other which is... wrong. semantics mostly, but also kinda scary, i don't think many typically receptive partners realize that they have the power to *break* a dick *accidentally* without proper care, not kidding :(((() butt allow me to elaborate ;)
normally we see and understand dom top and sub bottom, and that's all fine and dandy~<3 it's a classic<3!
but what about our dom bottoms and sub tops or similar~<3<3<3? i think they need a little lovin' too<3 ;))))))))))))
there is so much to explore when it comes to character dynamics and gah, i just... i always feel like people tend to box them in based on who they want to top or bottom without actually *exploring* just what those dynamics could be *based* on the characters themselves/letting the characters fall into the roles naturally<3<3<3 (speakin' on general past fandom experience lol, not familiar with sterek but i LOVE your defiant spirit to go against the grain, it is lovely and stick to you if that's what you like<3 little fandom chaos never hurt ;))))))))))))))))))) and i do get it, cause it's a full out conspiracy here to keep our one true bottom billy boo under wraps and out of sight and i'm just like... y'all motherfuckers better get ready cause bitch is comin' out to play~<3<3<3)
and also, more importantly, the people who think you should cater to them can screw off<3 sincerely<3<3<3
i wanna promote positivity by spreading what i like and hopefully get others to join in. if there's criticism to be had? sure. it helps us improve, but i can't stand when people go as far as trying to bar someone from what they love
even as i, like a mega snob, internally say 'trash' every time i scroll on by a fic/piece' i don't/wouldn't like would
a. never demand the artist/writer not produce it, 'don't like don't read' exists for a fucking reason so there is NEVER a need to denounce or harass people (over fictional nonsense no less!), and
b. REMIND MYSELF THAT I AM ALSO TRASH AND HAVE AN INTERNAL CACKLE at myself~ EVERY TIME!
we are ALL trash, and that is part of the beauty of it<3! even if *you*, lovely beautiful amazing darling that you are, decide you don't like bottom billy in the end? welp, goddammit, but you know what, that's okay<3 cause it's your art, your perogative, your right to do it how you want<3<3<3 ;)
i'm getting worked up because of the emboldened anons you seem to get that think they have a right to tell you 'no' on your own art!? excuse me?? you handle it perfectly and sweetly but i would be making a fucking storm with that, that behavior pisses me off so much and is so fucked up. >:(
it's one thing to gently ask/pay for/want to motivate a creative to do something. it is another entirely to *demand* something of a creative OR demand the *not*.
fuck that shit. *you do NOT owe ANYONE an apology for liking bottom billy* >:((((((((
but anywho~<3 for me it just gets so old so quick, especially as someone who LOVES character exploration/analysis, and wants to actually read/see 'these characters' in the ship, or at least alternate versions of them, not just 'OCs vaguely based on their most superficial elements/wearing their skin' it puts the lotion in the basket
am i a little bitter... yes MAYBE-- (i just feel so played/tricked half the time and it doesn't even have to matter who tops or bottoms, i wish i was one of those non-picky lucky bastards that can just read all of it, and i mean ALL OF IT like nothing and get to enjoy it... but alas...)
i also get that majority of people involved in shipping culture are cis het women (my dumb little pansexual nondescript genderfluid longing hermit ass, yes i love lesbians and straights and gays and everything inbetween, gimme all the fucking flavors, what of it<3) and while there's nothing wrong on the surface there, society has its stereotyping issues and heteronormativity explored through stereotyped dominance kink reinforcing the status quo instead of challenging it and blah blah blah, just UGH, i need to stop ramble ranting lmao (please i beg, excuse my lunacy~<3)
it's just so... goddamn REDUCTIVE--
TANGENT OVER, yes i complain too much BACK TO THE POINT!!
the balancing. there's lots of reasons people manage it different ways not limited to the above mentioned, BUTT.
ever heard lady gaga's G.U.Y? literally billy boo's theme song along with judas<3 "the demon i cling to" i'm just kidding it's actually rihanna's SOS
"i don't need to be on top, to know what it does, i'm strong enough to know the truth. i just want it to be hot, because i'm best when i'm in love and i'm in love with you."
right so that line but also the whole fucking song strikes a goddamn CHORD in me you would not believe~<3<3<3 (hell poker face and others play with similar themes<3!)
see there are a couple things that especially don't seem to get explored in fandom as often, unfortunately the shit that resonates with me~<3
addicted lovers~<3 (i don't mean one-sided or maybe i do ;) but can work PERFECTLY for butchlander<3<3<3), nymphomania<3<3<3, superdick<3 (which i forever lament is so underused!! :(((((((((((((), gentle dom/service top<3<3<3<3<3<3
and my personal favorite~<3?
the *dangerous* bossy/bratty bottom<3 (which fits billy boo PERFECTLY<3<3<3 not to be confused with the lovely power bottom<3 but can be inclusive and sometimes covert~<3 ;)))
never underestimate the POWER of a bussy/pussy~<3
see, i'm not too fond of either character being put in a 'vulnurable' position without checks and balances so to speak, often times, i tend to be at odds with the dom top/sub bottom dynamics because while i can love that classic vanilla vibe and have a hella strong dominance kink? they normally don't fit/feel forced/reduce character dimension or end up way way more imbalanced than how they started, at least for me. (i TRIED my damn hardest to read bottom steve rogers back in the day lmao. i did. just couldn't do it because there was that glaring issue every damn time without fail... still there with top steve sometimes but much more rare that way, learned very quickly to channel my preferences and figure out what i like and don't from there tho lol)
for example what i mean is~, i never leave my bottoms without an ace up their sleeve... and many of them have canon aces anyway ;) apart from the whole 'bottoms get the WAY better deal' bit (them prostate orgasms--) and spoiling them to high hell half the time (sometimes there's work through and progress/learning their true strengths)
but for example in a ship? clex (or even superbat, LOVE princess bats<3). lex is so fucking smart, it doesn't matter how strong superman is. the mistake is thinking lex was ever vulnerable to begin with, he is a coward and a control freak, but superman doesn't abuse his powers so lex was never in danger there. that's his ace. and at that point, topping just becomes gratuitous and such a WASTE for lexi. he could be getting railed and served like a goddamn princess<3 who knows what he wants by the ULTIMATE gentle dom/service top
did i mention the vibrating tongue and fingers along with the schlong? so. this gentle giant super gai gots no refractory period. infinite stamina. vibrating appendages. and people don't wanna use all that??? i would die without it
and don't even get me started on that diamond compressing monstrosity he calls an anus--
but more in depth, i would rather lex learn he doesn't *need* to have *control* or 'top' in order to put his trust in him and know that clark would never hurt him (as a crack ship anyhow lol), because it's that trust that makes love~<3 be the g.u.y.~<3... and also. i need lex to be able to say:
"i have the world's most powerful man at my beck and call, wrapped around my finger... what makes you think i would ever give that up?"
and y'know, it just doesn't work quite the same if ya work it the other way<3
and if clark knows? OOH-- because i *need* ultimate bitchy lex and ultimate gentle dom clark who endlessly spoils him because it's such a perfect recreation/expansion of their natural dynamic<3<3<3 (i hate you because i need you/okay but just let me save you tho)
and with billy and homelander~? OOOOOHHHH... these two are *very* special but make a similar dynamic with a dark twist<3.
i mentioned before that billy canon subs for those he loves<3 they make it a point in the comic (and show it in the show) that becky/becca is the gentle dom in the relationship, and billy actually wants it this way because he trusts becca and believes she'll save him from being his father... :((( he actually wants to be grounded/controlled because he knows what he is and can be without that and *hates* it
actually hates it and it's just so sad to me that anyone would make him proudly *want* be his father or worse!? :((((((((((((( even if you believed billy was/had 'more issues with toxic masculinity', i don't understand wanting to encourage/enable it/give him a free pass to be worse??? billy doesn't have the self control to stop it on his own and *that's* what made becca so important to him :((((((( poor baby...
i want these bois to learn some lessons, not just be... *stuck*
outside of/before becca? he spent all of his time self punishing. whether through addiction or picking fights he knew he wouldn't win. the boi *actually* wants the spanking. BAD. he will dom top, but it's reserved for those he *nothings*(the actual opposite of love not to be confused with hatred)/doesn't care about/is using and it's pretty clear which one he enjoys moar~<3 boi just wants to be held and cuddled<3<3<3
from homelander, he wants the fight and wants to get his ass beat (hence crazy blood smile when he's hit GOOD), and homie? doesn't quite want to lose butcher with how... *unique* he happens to be
so where does that leave homie?
well... homie is billy's temptation to~ be like his father at nuclear levels. ultimate punishment. satisfying his addiction for violence and pain and chaos. and~ ultimate death wish *cough*scorched urf*cough*
billy is a bit opposite from lex in that he doesn't really want to control homie to protect himself... he wants to *unleash the beast* to *destroy* himself just as much as destroy homie. his ace? being the biggest manipulative smarmy bastard known to man, and highly intelligent.
billy is pretty much the ultimate *dangerous* bossy bottom because he has no self control. he spends 1000% of his time trying to take down that fucker while homie... does mostly jack shit. it's remarkable but when you boil it down, homelander's *capabilities* get hyped up (and nerfed down simultaneously, wtf) but he actually has pretty remarkable self control despite his situation.
3 on 1 and ONLY a fucking BRUISE--
their dynamic becomes so intricate because it's almost like homelander is *order* in a body meant for chaos while billy is *chaos* in a body meant for order... with the added danger of people--mainly billy--chipping at any sense of *order* homelander could have left... and throw in the ironic twist of billy *craving* order while homie *craves* chaos (possibly confusing and hectic, i know)
if billy could say what lex could (above)? homelander's *not* superman. there is no limit to what he'd do for billy if that crusty ass burnt marshmallow boi made him fall in love. they would *actually* set the world on fire and watch it burn... realistically lmao
they are either the WORST thing for each other or the BEST thing, and that dynamic properly set up...? oooohhh.... ;)))))))))))))))))))))))))))
but anywho~<3 homelander is not the gentle dom. he is the dark~<3 service top... he's *good* at following orders because it's what he was *made* for. but he is *also intelligent* and *frustrated* with his situation. it's what leaves him so fascinated with billy/not just killing him off. not only is this guy new and different and unafraid... there's a part in homelander that senses that this guy will obliterate whatever chains are left on him so that he can finally be *free*. and what that means, well? i suppose it's a to be seen sorta deal lol
the *correct* way the butchlander? of course, a real leash can always be used<3 but i prefer the more powerful, figurative and subtly sensual~<3 leash tying the 'top's *heart* to the palm of the 'bottom's hand... or that golden bussy<3<3<3 (in butcher's case, stands for 'butcher pussy'<3)
because *that* (golden pussy/bussy got the boi whipped) is another concept stolen from top 10 incels greatest FEARS and i say, don't let them fuck~
KIDDING... sorta. it is hilariously fun to stick it to the red pill ideaology tho, #feminism
but eventually~ their hearts and crotches end up lining up with the added bonus of super protective top<3 (as it should be<3<3<3) and what they can *learn* from one another/their stories. for butcher, it's self control. for homelander, it's what it means to *truly* be free<3 and jebus, it makes me cry but *that* is what can drive this ship from 'nice'/'guilty pleasure'... to *truly fucking incredible*<3<3<3 dark or light ;)
or, y'know. just go by who has better willem dafoe energy~<3<3<3 (def homelander lmao)
the art piece i'm working on myself wasn't somethin' i wanted to reveal too much on but weeeellll... for you~?
but it basically has homie railing *ahem* a pregnant~<3 billy... who has that dog on a tight leash and is pulling him closer<3<3<3
feel free to steal, add or subtract elements for any ship really<3 ;))))))) and of course...?
keep exploring/experimenting at *your* leisure. do what feels right for *you*, even if i'm not a fan, i'm one butthead on the interwebs. and you have every right to be *you*<3 ;)
and uh, if you got this far... WOOO~<3!! thanks for comin' to my ted talk, lmao<3
did i fucking forget something?? maybe, still got shit to catch up on tho--
billy's one easy slip away from falling onto homelander's vibrating super dick and i am here for it.
you know for a fact that boi let that cunt slap him around for fun and pain kinks if billy wasn't dreamin' cause homie's a trained super assassin and butchy's strength and speed don't actually compare how he'd like, the poor baby!
3 on 1 and all they managed was a goddamn bruise I swear. maeve actually managed something but homie didn't want to kill her. but i bet he'd be glad to have butchy's raking nails over his back and following orders to go harder like a good boi
homie has complexes. but BUTCHY has COMPLEXES. plus he's a canon subby sweetie for those he loves~<3<3<3!!
you do you boo, don't let anyone tell ya different. ;))))))))))))
but yessssssssssssssssssssss.
bossy bottom butcher with devious service top homie is the BEST and i fully support that endeavor~<3
😳😳😳😳😳😳😳 I'm taking notes- 📝

Pope was so excited that it was the weekend. He had no extracurricular activities that day, and his only plans were to go out on the HMS Pogue with his friends and his new girlfriend. He woke up and was greeted by the sunniest Saturday morning he had seen in the long time and it was as if the stress and anxiety was lifted off of him.
He smiled to himself as he grabbed his phone off of his desk and checked his messages.
I can't come out today :(
Pope read the text message from his new girlfriend, they had only been official for about two months, and his heart sank. He let out a heavy sigh as he typed back a quick reply and changed into his clothes for the boat.
Pope couldn't keep the frown off of his face as he rode his bike to The Chateau. He had been looking forward to this Saturday on the water with the Pogues and his girlfriend all week. Sun, water and a pretty girl in a (hopefully) small swimsuit was just what he needed to get his mind off all this Royal Merchant and Denmark Tanny nonsense.
He hopped off his bike, letting it fall to the ground in the drive of The Chateau then stalked up towards the open door of the front porch.
"Whoa. Easy, Big Guy. Gonna break my door. You look like someone broke your project for the Science Fair." John B mumbled as he pulled on a t-shirt he grabbed from the back of the old couch.
"She's not coming." Pope grumbled as he sat down on the couch beside Kiara as she finished packing the cooler.
"What do you mean she's not coming? We've had this planned since like, last week. Stoked to finally meet your girl, man." JJ mumbled as he finished pinching the last bit of weed into the rolling paper.
"Says that she can't come out today because 'it has been a red dawn'. Whatever that means." Pope sighed as he turned his phone over in his hand, resting his head back on the couch.
Kiara burst out laughing, her hand over her mouth as she kept her eyes fixed on the cooler at her feet.
"What? Why is that funny?" Pope asked as he lifted his head up from the couch to look between his friends.
"She has her period, Pope. She doesn't want to come out because she has her period and is probably embarrassed to be around you and boys she doesn't know." Kiara replied as she looked over at the Heyward boy who still looked confused.
"Red Dawn, now that was a good movie." JJ stated as he put the freshly rolled joint behind his ear, and stood up.
"JJ." Both Kiara and Pope sighed as they looked over at the blonde boy.
"I'm just saying." JJ smirked as he adjusted his red hat on his head, then stood up and made his way over to the small television set on the other side of the room, crouched down and began to rummage through the small cabinet beneath.
"Well, I guess I'll just for two weeks after exams and prep classes are over. It just sucks because this was like, the one weekend she and I both had." Pope muttered as he rested his head back on the couch.
"Who says that you can't see her?" Kiara asked with a furrowed brow.
"Well..I just figured she'd want to be alone." Pope stammered.
"She's not a leper, Pope. And even if she were, she's your girlfriend." Kiara rolled her eyes as she swatted her friend's chest.
"Hate to admit it, but she's right. Take this and go see your girl instead. Boat will still here next weekend." JJ grinned as he walked over to Pope and handed him a dusty DVD.
"Red Dawn? JJ, I can't bring this." Pope held the DVD up to show the title back to the grinning Maybank boy, and shook his head.
"C'mon. She'll think it's funny." JJ laughed with a pat of Pope's shoulder before he made his way down the hall of The Chateau.
"Don't bring that." Kiara muttered under her breath.
"I'm not." Pope replied.
*
By the time Pope got to her house, still on The Cut, it was mid- morning and the sun was blazing hot. He dropped his bike in the empty driveway and wiped his brow with the hem of his shirt. He walked up the steps to the front door and knocked lightly.
"Pope?" She opened the door and greeted him in baggy sweat pants and an oversized sweater.
"Hi. I know you said that you didn't want to come out today, but I thought...well, Kiara thought..that you might want some company. And I thought that, too. But I didn't want to overstep and invade your space. But I guess I'm here now." Pope rambled as he shifted his weight from one foot to the other on the front step.
"No, it's okay. Pope, I'm really glad you came over. Come inside." She smiled softly as she took hold of his hand, lacing their fingers and pulled him inside the house, towards her bedroom.
"I was just going to watch a movie." She smiled as she sat on the edge of her bed and looked up at him as he stood awkwardly in the doorway of her bedroom.
"That's perfect. I actually brought you some snacks. I wasn't sure what you might be craving, I know you always flip flop between chocolate or candy. So I brought you both." Pope smiled softly as he walked slowly to the edge of the bed and sat next to her, pulling his backpack off his shoulders.
Pope opened up his backpack and pulled out one bag of Skittles and another bag of M&M's, passing them to her.
"You're the sweetest boyfriend, ever." She smiled as she pressed a kiss to his cheek.
"I do request I get at least a handful of the Skittles, though." Pope blushed as he wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her close.
"I can do that. Hey, what's that? You brought a movie?" She smiled as she pointed the the DVD that sat at the bottom of his bag.
"What? No, I didn't...damnit, JJ." Pope sighed as he rubbed his forehead.
She smirked and reached into the bag before he grab her hand to stop her. She looked at the DVD with a smile and read the bright yellow Post-It note on the front. JJ's unmistakable printing on the note.
IT WILL BE FUNNY.
"I'm so sorry. That was JJ's idea of a joke. He wanted me to bring this movie because of your text.." Pope sighed as he reached for the DVD.
"You don't want to show me the movie?" She giggled as she held the movie out of his reach.
"If you want to watch it, sure." Pope nodded with a sigh of relief. For once JJ's antics hadn't gotten him kicked in the ass. Especially with a girl he liked.
"Pop it in the player, it's over there." She giggled as she pointed the small television across her bedroom.
Pope smiled and did as was requested of him, putting the DVD in the old player. He grabbed the remote and walked back over the bed and laid with her as she already opened the bag of Skittles.
"Pope?" She asked softly as he settled against the headboard and fast forwarded through all the trailers and advertisements he didn't care about.
"Yeah?" He looked down at her, and he felt his heartbeat start to quicken. She was so pretty, and she liked him.
"Do you think you could rub my belly for a little bit? I have cramps, and they suck." She whispered as she rested her forehead on his shoulder.
"Really?" Pope asked as he slid his back down the headboard to be closer to her on the mattress.
"Yeah. Your hands are always so warm and soft." She nodded as she rested against him, her head on his shoulder as she watched the television.
"Sure." Pope smiled as he slowly, tentatively, reached beneath his shirt and pressed the palm of his hand just beneath her belly button and softly rubbed back and forth. He kissed the top of her head as she nestled into him even more.
"Thanks for staying behind from the boat to keep me company, Pope." She whispered against his neck.
"No need to thank me. I think I like this better." Pope replied softly.
"I don't know why JJ said we should watch this movie, though. There's minimal blood. Should have watched Carrie or something." She smiled as she looked up at his face.
"You're so weird. And I'm not watching Carrie again. Watched it once in the 8th grade because JJ made me, and I'm not doing it again." Pope laughed, his hand still running across the warm skin of her stomach just under her belly button.
"Oh, no. Poor little Pope." She giggled as she wrapped her arms around his midsection and pulled him close.
"Yeah, so if you want to watch horror movies you'll probably have to ask JJ." Pope replied as he kissed the top of her head.
"I will protect you, Pope." She whispered against his chest and held him tightly.
Pope felt content in that small bedroom with his girlfriend, the fan blowing straight on them as they watched that stupid movie JJ must has shoved in his backpack when he walked out the living room earlier. He supposed he owed him a thank you.
Maybe.

The bell rang, signaling the end of class. The guys and I were quick to pack up our belongings before making a beeline for Mr. Clarke's desk, eager to see if the Heathkit came. All the while Mr. Clarke was reminding the already fleeting class of our homework assignment.
"Remember, finish chapter 12 and answer 12.3 on the difference between an experiment and other forms of science investigation. This will be on the test, which will cover chapters 10 through 12. It will be multiple choice with an essay section." His voice faltered towards the end of his sentence as he realized no one had been paying attention.
His head turned to us and he didn't seem too surprised to see us so eager. Mike couldn't take the wait any longer and spoke up on the behalf of all of us.
"So, did it come?"
Mr. Clarke looked solemn. "Sorry, guys," Our heads began to hang in disappointment at his words. "I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but... It came!"
My face lit up with relief. We followed Mr. Clarke down the halls in anticipation. Mike got to the door first and eagerly threw it open, the rest of us close on his tail.
"Yes!"
Since Mike was the first through the door, naturally he dove for the desk chair as the rest of us scuttled over each other, each of trying to get a close look at it. Lucas and I seemed to have the same idea as we fiddled with the knobs on the Heathkit as Mr. Clarke addressed the new device we were all so eager to see.
"The Heathkit ham shack," The boys and I were in awe.
"Ain't she a beaut?" Mr. Clarke sighed. Dustin then spoke up. "I bet you could talk to New York on this thing."
"Think bigger." Said Mr. Clarke. I rose my eyebrow and looked to my teacher as I questioned, "California?"
"Bigger." 'No way.'
"Australia?" Mike pressed. We all turned out heads hopefully to Mr. Clarke as he responded with a smile and the shake of his head. We all exclaimed.
"Oh man," Lucas chuckled in excitement. "When Will sees this, he's totally gonna blow his shit." My smile faltered at the mention of Will, as Mr. Clarke scolds Lucas for his foul language. Lucas apologized turning back to the Heathkit, and I shake my head slightly trying to get my mind off of Will.
Lucas seems to have found the right settings on the dials based on the high pitch frequencies coming out of the Heathkit. Mike has the headphones on and begins to speak into the mic in an Australian accent.
"'Ello, this is Mike Wheela', president of Hawkins Middle AV Club."
Dustin then practically ripped the headphones off of Mike's head, a big goofy grin on his face as he placed them on his head. Mike was in a fit of giggles as he spoke. "What are you doing?" Dustin proceeded to do the exact same thing as Mike just moments ago.
"'Ello, this is Dustin, and this is the secretary and treasurer of Hawkins Middle AV Club. Do you eat kangaroos for breakfast?" I giggle, shaking my head thinking about the poor confused soul who is stuck listening to the boys ramble on. As Lucas grabs for the headphones, I turn around so I'm facing Mr. Clarke, and I give a polite, yet warm smile. "Thank you."
"You're very welcome Mr. Henderson," He returned the smile, seeming appreciative of the fact that at least one of us said 'Thank you'. He has always been a great teacher, and I don't think anybody ever really appreciates or even thanks him very much. I can't imagine how frustrating it can be as a teacher. I laugh to myself at the sight of my friends playfully fighting over who gets to use it next, when our fun gets cut short at the sound of a knock on the door. We all turn our heads to see the Principle walk in, a couple of men behind him.
"Sorry to interrupt, but, uh, may I borrow Y/N, Michael, Lucas, and Dustin?" To say my stomach dropped would be an understatement as I got a better look at the men out in the hallway and realized it was the Chief and one of his officers.
My mouth ran dry.
'Will.'
The four of were seated on the couch in the Principal's office, Chief Hopper, and officer Callahan - I believe his name was - seated in chairs opposite us. I was seated between Mike and Dustin, I kept my mouth shut unless told otherwise, and my hands have woven together in my lap, much too afraid to do otherwise. The boys, on the other hand, were freaking out and all trying to speak at once. I tried nudging them warningly with my elbows but they just ignored me. It seemed I had made the right choice in being quiet, as Hopper seemed to have gotten impatient almost immediately.
"Okay, okay, okay. One at a time all right? You." He points Mike. Mike shakes his head. "You said he takes what?"
"Mirkwood."
"Mirkwood." His face scrunched up in confusion.
"Yes," I croaked involuntarily, wanting to explain to him that it is just our name for road.
"Have you ever heard of Mirkwood?" He turned to the officer.
"I have not. That sounds made up to me." The officer replied. This timid, awkward man gave me the impression he was more of a 'Yes-man' and knew nothing about what he was doing.
"No, it's from Lord of the Rings."
'Oh, here we go.' I think to myself, sighing.
"Well, The Hobbit."
Mike and I look at each other, knowing what's happening.
"It doesn't matter." Lucas retorted.
"Knock it off!" I warn, trying my best to throw my whisper across the couch without drawing attention to myself.
"He asked!" Dustin nearly shouted.
"Guys!" I hissed.
"'He asked'" Lucas mimicking Dustin, not even listening to me.
I looked over at Mike for help but he is already checked out.
They continue talking over each other in a childish manner and the chief leans forward trying to silence them.
"Hey, hey, hey!" They quieted down finally. "What'd I just say? One at a damn time. You." He nodded to me. He seemed to tolerate just Mike and me.
"Mirkwood, as Mike was saying. It is a real road. It's just the name that's made up, it's what we call it. It's where Cornwallis and Kerley meet." I finish.
He seems satisfied, finally having a straightforward answer. He leans back in his chair, talking now to Callahan.
"Yeah, all right, I think I know that—"
"We can show you, if you want." Mike offered hopefully, cutting the chief off mid-sentence.
"I said that I know it!"
"We can help look."
"Yeah" Dustin added hopefully.
"No."
And just like that, the boys begin to talk over each other once again. Knowing better than to waste my breath trying to shut them up, I sit back once again, hands in my lap waiting for the Chief to continue.
"No," He says loud enough to quiet the boys. "After school, you are to all go home. Immediately. That means no biking around looking for your friend, no investigating, no nonsense. This isn't some Lord of the Rings book."
"The Hobbit."
"Shut up!" Lucas gave Dustin a swat on the arm.
Dustin reached over and hit Lucas back, knocking me and Mike back in the process. I roll my eyes in annoyance, and fight every urge I have not to shout at them.
"Hey!"
Mike finally snaps. "Stop it!"
They continue hitting each other and Hopper finally leans over and says quietly, in an irritated tone. "Do I make myself clear?"
I was the only one paying attention so based on his tired, lowered voice and his eyes on me, I could tell he was just talking to me at this point.
I shook my head. "Yes," I mutter.
He nodded his head at me in thanks. All the while, the boys were still bickering. Hopper's gaze landed on the boys, and he stood up and walked forward towards us. The way his tall frame towered over us was overwhelming, and enough to shut the boys up. In a deep, intimidating voice, he repeated his words, slowly.
"Do I make myself... clear?" The boys nod their heads in fear, their necks craning up to meet his eyes.
"Yes, sir."
"Yeah."
"Yes."
⊹ ⊹ ⊹
I've been laying in my bed, staring at the ceiling for about thirty minutes, give or take a few. I had managed to do all of my school work, including my project that wasn't due for another week and a half, read three books — granted, they were fairly short — and I was still left with nothing to do but worry about Will. The fact that I'm not allowed to help is driving me crazy, even though I keep trying to tell myself the adults are better equipped to deal with this stuff. My thoughts are interrupted by the crackling of the walkie-talkie that was sitting on my dresser. Since our mom couldn't afford two walkie-talkies, Dustin and I share one. I usually have it though so I can talk to Will.
The voice coming through sounded like Mike. Rather than getting my hopes up I just decided to stay put, staring at my ceiling, listening in.
"Lucas, do you copy? It's Mike. Lucas? Over."
"Hey, it's Lucas."
"I know it's you. And say 'over' when you're done talking so I know when you're done. Over." I roll my eyes and smile.
"I'm done. Over." I chuckle at this.
"I'm worried about Will. Over." My smile quickly falls.
I can hear Lucas sigh. "Yeah. This is crazy. Over."
"I was thinking..." Now I was really paying attention. "Will could've cast Protection last night, but he didn't. He cast fireball. Over." I sat up slowly, my eyebrows furrowed at the walkie.
"What's your point? Over."
"My point is... he could've played it safe, but he didn't. He put himself in danger to help the party. Over." A bittersweet smile flutters across my face briefly at this.
"Meet me in ten. Over and out."
'To hell with adults.' I tell myself. I leap off my bed and grab the walkie, knowing they'll still be able to hear me.
"Forgetting someone? Over."
"Y/n? Over." It was Mike.
"Don't worry, I'll let Dustin know. Over and out."
I retract the walkie before shoving it into my bag and heading for Dustin's room.
⊹ ⊹ ⊹
Once I had caught Dustin up on everything, the four of us had met up and we are now currently riding down Mirkwood. The thought of my best friend disappearing right here, exactly 24 hours ago was enough to give me chills.
"Ah, man. This is it." Lucas broke the silence as we approached the barrier closing off the path where his bike was supposedly found. We all came to a stop.
For a brief moment, the woods were lit up by lighting in the distance as thunder bellowed across the sky. Dustin looked up at the blanket of clouds above the trees, his voice shaking.
"Hey, guys. You feel that?" He was obviously referring to the rain that fell on his face. I roll my eyes. "I think maybe we should go back."
"No!" Mike and I said simultaneously.
"We're not going back. Just stay close." Mike and Lucas continued on into woods. I was eager to follow them but not without trying to reassure my brother.
"Dustin, he's right. Look, I know you're scared right now, okay? I'm scared too, but can you even imagine how scared Will must be? We have to do this. For Will." I didn't wait for a reply and ran to catch up with Mike and Lucas.
Knowing my brother, he would rather stay in a group than split up. Sure enough, he gave in.
"Hey, guys, wait up!" He said, dropping his bike. "Wait up!"
We started walking again, and as we did it I could feel the rain start to soak my neck and shoulders. I pulled my hood up over my head, turning on my flashlight and set off into the night, eager to find my friend.
⊹ ⊹ ⊹
The thunder rumbled, and as we ventured deeper into the forest I could feel the light drizzle of rain evolving into a steady downpour.
"WILL!"
"WILL!" I cried.
"Byers!" Lucas yelled.
Dustin tried a different approach. "I've got your X-Men 134!"
Our flashlights were hardly making a difference at this point. Dustin spoke up again. "Guys, I really think we should turn back."
"Seriously, Dustin?" Lucas exclaimed. "You wanna be a baby, then go home already!"
"I'm just being realistic Lucas!"
"No, you're just being a big sissy."
"Did you ever think Will went missing because he ran into something bad? And we're going to the exact same spot where he was last seen? And we have no weapons or anything?"
I start to slow down once I heard something in the bushes.
"Dustin, shut up." Mike spoke up.
'Okay, thankfully, Mike must have heard it too.'
"I'm just saying, does that seem smart to you?"
"Dustin!" I snap. "Zip it!"
Now the rustling was loud and clear.
"Did you guys hear that?" Mike asks.
I just shake my head, looking around for the source of the noise. The rustling is louder than ever and we all turn in the direction it came from. All our flashlights pointed in that direction. Then we heard it again. It was right behind us. We whipped around to find a girl, with a buzz cut, wearing nothing but 'Benny's Burgers' tee t-shirt. We all stood there, mouths agape at this girl, shivering and cowering in fear.

Can I request a oneshot/headcanon for Hawks x pregnant fem!reader? I was thinking of Hawks being super cute taking care of her and showing her off proudly to other hero's. this is my first time making a request, so feel free to do with this as you please lolz! also I really want the end to have reader going into labor and giving birth at the end with a very proud Hawks at her side (you get to choose the gender!)💖
It took me so long to get to this omg but I did and I hope you like it, Hon! It is past midnight and I have a weird obsession with tomatoes right now.
Warnings: Pregnancy, just a fluff overload, Profanity, All Might is retired, Dabi and Hawks are good friends AU (we ignore the manga, only happy feelings here lmao)
*I have fixed grammar issues. My brain power was not activated when writing this lol.
Words: 2438
Takami Keigo (Hawks) x Female Reader
Tumblr media
“Isn’t she just amazing?” Hawks questions not really speaking to anyone else as he just admires the woman waddling down the hallway.
The other Pro Heroes around him stare at him with confusion. Aizawa, Yamada, Yagi, and Todoroki Enji all take a glance at each other before they wait for the woman to make her way to them. All of them but Hawks are profoundly confused.
“Uh… This was supposed to be a parent-teacher conference so may I ask why Hawks is here as well?” All Might asks.
Hawks ignores them as he watches the woman stopping for a moment to speak to a student. She looks genuinely concerned and it makes his foolish heart swell from how caring she is. Endeavor wants to slap the foolish look off Hawks face but ignores it to answer All Might.
“I apologize. We had lunch together before this meeting. He decided to follow me but I have no idea why.” The tone to Endeavor’s voice shows that he is irritated but curious as to why the number 2 hero seems to be enamored with a simple U.A teacher.
She hasn’t noticed him yet thankfully and he has proudly gotten a video of her waddling. The closer to she gets the more the expression on her face slowly turns into one of realization. The students at U.A respect and care for her so they always make room for her.
“Hey, Honey, what are you doing here?”  You ask softly as you place a hand on your very large bump.
He goes to respond when your colleague Present Mic starts to let out an inhuman sound that turns into a surprised scream. “What?! Honey?! (NAME) YOU’RE MARRIED TO THE HAWKS?!” Present Mic screeches.
You ignore the change in volume and laugh as you nod your head. Aizawa seems to nod as he pieces it together. “Ah… You did mention Tokoyami’s internship being close with your husband.”
“BUT WAIT! You’re married? All my attempts on wooing you have been in vain,” Present Mic mumbles.
Everyone seems to freeze at this but you just laugh more. “Yamada, have you not noticed my ring? I’ve been wearing it every day since working here!” You manage to say after laughing.
He has absolutely no reply but to slowly put his hands up to show surrender from Hawks’ glare on him. Without a care, Hawks pulls you to him so he can hug you with your baby bump blocking it fully. His hands go to rest upon it and he smiles widely.
“See! I told you I have a beautiful family too, Endeavor.”
Endeavor for once has to hide the smile on his face as he looks away. He replies, “Yeah. I thought you were speaking nonsense or showing me pictures of random pregnant women.”
“Nope! I can guess why you would be confused… Since I never showed her face. We have a little chickadee coming on the way!” The excitement is clear in his voice and on his face from the happy lazy grin plastered on it.
He looks at the others and bids them goodbye. “Well, I am going to steal her so she can have her lunch with me. See ya.”
~*~
“Baby, I promise, it is okay! I’ll be fine. I’ll see you later when you get home! I’m just happy you visited for lunch,” You say into the phone. Your other hand goes to your purse to look for your keys.
You hear Hawks mumble and whine on the other side of the phone but you ignore it until you find the keys successfully. “Alright, babe. I’ll be fine. I’ll text you when I reach the house. I love you!”
After hearing his ‘I love you more’ he hangs up and you smile feeling great. This is unusual since the pregnancy hormones have made you feel like shit lately. It’s all going to be worth it though.
“Hey, do you need me to walk you home?” Aizawa questions as he enters the hall.
You think for a few seconds before you ask, “Would you be willing to walk me to the station? I’ll be fine from there since I’m planning on stopping by a store! I don’t want to waste too much of your time!”
He nods and the two of you begin the walk to the station. It starts as a comfortable silence before Aizawa speaks up with a smile on his face. “You know, I had no idea you were married to the Number 2 Pro Hero. It surprised me but at the same, it didn’t. What surprised me though was seeing the way he stared at you. You have a good thing going,” Aizawa states.
It was odd for him to give his input like that but it made you feel happy to know that Hawks’ love for you was just that noticeable. Once at the station, Aizawa gives you a look, something an older brother would a younger sibling or parent would their child before giving a demand.
“Call me if anything happens. I’m on patrol for a while so I’ll be near this area. Be safe going home, (Name).”
Today has been such a heartwarming day and Aizawa’s words only bring you more joy as you bid him a farewell.
It doesn’t take long to reach the store close to your home. You salivate at the thought of getting what you crave most. An odd combination that most people would puke from but what you need to satisfy you and your baby right now, tomatoes and frosting.
You can just imagine Hawks’ disgusted look but it wasn’t the worst thing you’ve had yet. You go to turn when your baby bump hits something off the shelf. Thankfully, it was just another plastic can full of icing so it didn’t break. Now the new problem was picking up the jar.
You know it was a near-impossible feat but you try anyway. You probably look very silly trying to reach and barely scraping the can with your fingernails but you don’t care. You are determined to do it. That is until you hear an obvious cough trying to get your attention.
You give up for now and look at the owner only to smile upon seeing the man you saw earlier. “Hello, Mr. Endeavor! We’ve met officially earlier but not formally. I am Takami (Name). It’s a pleasure to meet you and I apologize if my husband gets a bit too much to handle. He can be very chillaxed but he does take his job seriously,” You ramble.
“Pleasure.”
He merely observes you with serious eyes before he bends down and picks up the icing jar. He hands it to you. “Thank you! I would’ve been in a pickle there if I couldn’t reach it,” You murmur placing it back on the shelf where it belongs.
One of his eyebrows betray his lack of expression to show his slight confusion and you laugh. “I already have my icing in this arm! The baby bump knocked over that one.”
He doesn’t say anything in reply to that. Instead, he seems to contemplate saying something. He just needs a few seconds before he decides to say it against his better judgment.
“Hawks... He’s the Number 2 Pro Hero and extremely famous. How is it I never even heard or seen you? I thought he was fibbing about having a wife since he only produced photos of your bump and not of your actual face,” He didn’t want to ask it but the curiosity got the best of him and it was unusual to him.
The question made you smile but this time with a bit of sadness. You’ve received this question just a few times before but the answer remains the same. “We try to hide our relationship and it is easy when his fans like to think he is single. It doesn’t matter but we have private social medias for our friends. We like to keep my face hidden and such.”
The atmosphere turned a bit tense and for once (actually probably like the fifth time since Hawks had been determined in making him a better Number 1 Hero) he feels guilty. Something strange feels like it’s churning in his chest and he quickly fixes it.
“He does talk an awful lot about you though. It’s clear as day how much he loves you and your baby.” It was a simple two-sentences but it brought comfort to you.
He leaves without any more words and you are brought back to your cheerful self and go to pay for the items. By the time you get home, it is already showing signs of getting dark. You are quick to send a text to Hawks and it distracts you from realizing something odd is wrong with your door. The fact that it is unlocked.
You lock your front door once inside and go straight to the kitchen to slice the tomatoes and spread icing on them. You waste absolutely no time as you have it all ready on a plate and leave the room to go change into something more comfortable.
Of course, only Hawks’ shirts have been fitting you lately and you prefer them much more than your maternity clothing. So you wear that and a pair of shorts before coming to get your treat and hopefully take a nap. That was the plan before you have a fucking heart attack from seeing a burnt toast eating your food.
“How the fuck do you eat this?” Dabi questions spitting a tomato slice out of his mouth.
Your heart is absolutely broken at the scene. You ignore the bully of a man and stare at the red and white mess on the ground. How dare he do this to you?
“Oh fuck… (Name), please don’t do this. I’m sorry. I’ll go buy you a new fucking tomato if you want. With the fucking confetti icing and shit. Just don’t cry… Or tell Hawks,” Dabi says.
It is too late though. The damage has been done as your hormones go berserk from seeing what you craved on the ground (yes your mind is ignoring the perfectly good slices still on the plate). Tears prick at your eyes and before you can rub them away or cry, Dabi brings you into a hug.
As you cry into his chest he is already on the phone with Hawks but with your uncontrollable sobs, you don’t hear the conversation. After a few painful minutes (for Dabi) he finally pulls away only for your face to be smothered by your loving husband’s chest.
He hushes you gently and rubs soothing circles on your back all while glaring at his best friend.
Dabi raises his hand in defense. “Hey man, I just came here to visit the princess with good intentions. Thanks for bringing the tomato. I owe you one.”
Another minute later Dabi presents to you a brand new plate with a tomato covered in icing. You sniffle lightly and take it before mumbling, “Thanks. Sorry for the way I acted. That was pathetic.”
“Hey no, it wasn’t Doll. I take full blame for eating your weird food. That and it is 100% Hawks’ fault for knocking you up Beautiful. Anyway, I got to bounce but are we good?” Dabi asks opening his arms for another hug.
You smile and give in. “We’re always good. Now get out of here. We’ll invite you over for a chicken wing dinner,” You offer.
He leaves with a stupid smile on his face and Hawks smiles as he can finally full-on cuddle you without interruptions. Of course, after you are done eating. He pulls you to cuddle on the couch with him, his wings stretched out and resting against the couch.
“You good, Babe?”
You nod the exhaustion pouring in on your face, “Yeah. Sorry I ended up making you come home early. I didn’t mean to get like that.”
“It’s all good. I would do anything for you and the baby. No tomato is safe from being devoured by you if that is what you desire.”
You are too tired to even give a response to that. Instead, you try and curl up into him as you make sure your bump is comfortable at the same time. His hands rest on your belly as he hums into your ear.
“What only two months left now?”
Yeah, and they are going to fly right by.
~*~
“You had to come in through the window?” Hawks asks in a hushed voice.
Dabi only smirks before his eyes fall on your resting figure. Hawks is sitting right beside you on the bed. The sweet bundle of joy he came to meet is resting in Hawks’ arms right beside you.
“Can’t impress anyone if I didn’t. All the Heroes come by already?” Dabi asks as he takes slow and steady steps to the three of you.
You smile weakly as you recall your three colleagues coming in to check on you and meet the baby (that Hawks may or may not have shoved in their face from how proud he was). Endeavor came by as well to congratulate you and Hawks.
“Yeah. All there is left now is to meet you,” You murmur as Hawks stands up.
Dabi gets a close look at the baby’s squishy face. He wants to say it’s hideous as a joke (he was planning on how to do joke about it though) but he couldn’t. The baby was actually cute. However, to his absolute horror, Hawks starts to proceed to give the baby to him.
“What the fuck. What if I drop it?”
You answer in a sleepy voice. “Drop her and I will personally send you to hell.”
“Her… What name did you guys come up with?”
Hawks answers without hesitation. “Tomato.”
Dabi physically freezes and looks up before seeing the stupid grin on Hawks’ face. He turns to you and you smile a gentle smile and give up the true answer. “Takara, it means treasure. Takami Takara.”
“I’ll take the chair. I’ll hold her while you guys rest up for a bit.”
You thank him and Hawks silently thanks him before showing off his severely bruised hand that you no doubt, destroyed when pushing during labor.
It is a pain Hawks would gladly go over again and endure for you because you are everything to him. You and your beautiful daughter mean the world to him and he would go through this life a million times if it meant having the two of you again.

Hi! If your inbox is open, I'd like to request a scenario with all (or any) of the demon brothers, + undatables reacting to a blind MC? Like, none of them expected to have a blind human and Devildom and they have to revamp everything to make it as safe for MC as possible. Can be she/her or they/them pronouns for MC. Bonus points if MC is extremely talkative and won't shut up lmao. Thank you!
OKAY! So, finally got this one out. I’m sooo sorry for the wait, but I wanted to try and do this right, not just some Daredevil nonsense, but I didn’t want to make the mistake of a ‘helpless blind MC’ either; because they’re not helpless.
I am also lucky enough to have a regular customer at my work that happens to be blind and she has been very happy to give me a helping hand to make this ask more real. She’s such a delight and her guide dog is beautiful and I could ramble on with our interactions, like one time she scolded us for moving the fixtures because she had just memorized the layout of the store then told her guide “you’ll earn that pay check today!”
SO! With her in mind, more so from her younger days that she reminisced with me; I have decided to work this piece around this customer’s condition specifically so I’m not just pulling shit out my arse.
To give you an idea, this MC suffers from Retinitis pigmentosa; their symptoms being tunnel vision and night blindness. So while they are legally blind, they can somewhat see. They use a cane when going out, use their hands and/or cane when inside a place knew to them – that happens to be in poor light (Devildom) – until they have the layout in their mind and move more confidently.
~
This also took a while because I couldn’t get a fic/scenario to work cohesively and hc was just not working either! But I’ve hopefully gotten it now, and I do hope you like it. I’ve also placed this under the cut because I’ve waffled on here.
Diavolo:
Interested. Anyone within the Devildom without eyesight, are generally the souls of the damned who aren’t permitted to move freely. Heck, he’s removed some of their eyes himself.
He wants to know instantly if there is anything he needs to change and improve to make sure MC’s stay is not only comfortable but enjoyable.
Absolutely loves how open MC is. He’s amazed at the resilience of humans; delighted to hear MC say how capable they are, though he does insist on one of the brother’s remaining her escort for the duration of their stay. Capable or not, he is well aware of how demons would use MC’s lack of sight to their advantage.
Really wants to ask how amplified their other senses are; disappointed to know most things depicted in movies are – for the most part – an over exaggeration.
Organises a tablet for them with all RAD textbooks uploaded so they have that ability to zoom in so they are able to read the text at their own comfort. Other systems such as braille, text to talk etc are also implemented if that is something MC prefers to learn by.
Lucifer:
Considers Cerberus as a guide dog? Impossible, the human would be eaten alive. Perhaps another smaller hellhound? Goodness no, they’d still be eaten.
Asks MC about their condition –on behalf of Lord Diavolo of course – so he is aware of anything that may help their stay in the Devildom.
Very pleased to see how receptive MC is, very talkative and informative about her condition; he’s surprised to learn the varying levels of visual impairment. Consults Diavolo on brighter lighting to improve her movements around RAD and already planning on improvements within his own home.
During MC’s first few nights in Lamentation, Lucifer appears on edge; always keeping an eye when they’re moving about on their own. Enjoys watching how they learn to memorize layouts, quietly telling themselves how many steps it takes from one room to another, touching hallway objects.
Ready to run to their side that one time MC walked into the wall; turning into the kitchen a little too soon; until he hear them chuckle to themselves and ran their hand along the wall until they found the doorway and walked through it. No damage done. He’s learning to leave them be, understanding that he doesn’t need to dote on them.
Mammon:
MC is blind? Ooh yeah! The things that boy could swipe to make some quick Grimm, and right under their nose. It was gonna be too easy!! Completely stunned when they still catch him out. “How’d ya know it was me?!”
Watches them narrow their eyes as if trying to spot him before coming up beside him and close the drawer he was just rummaging through. The nerve this human has to threaten The Great Mammon by saying they’ll use their cane to whack him.
Surprised at MC’s explanation on how they knew it was him. They recognised his scent; not only did he have his favourite cologne – which he didn’t think he wore that much of – they noted how he had a metallic smell, like the kind you get when touching coin constantly.
Likes to watch MC move around their room; at first using their hand to remember the layout and then moving as if they saw as well as he did. Considered rearranging things to see what would happen.
Okay, so MC isn’t helpless… but, other demons don’t know that. Considers using MC as bait; distract idiots so he can rob them and sell their things for a little Grimm. “I, The Mammon, am a genius!” “No, Mammon.”
Levi:
Couldn’t even imagine being in their position; all that manga he couldn’t read, anime they couldn’t watch… never knowing what Ruri-Chan looks like!!! Gasp! No way. Poor MC!
Really confused when he sees them one day, curled up on a chair in the common room, wearing a pair of glasses and a book in hand. Wanders over and looks over their shoulder before questioning what was going on; nodding when they told him that with reading glasses and preferably larger font, they could indulge in many a storybook.
As their relationship blossoms, he has a dedicated reading nook in his room for the two of them, including a lamp to brighten the area to help improve what sight they have. Likes that they’re happy to listen to him read to them his TSL series. He thinks about writing to the publishers for the next editions to have larger fonts; that way he could buy MC a set of their own.
He likes to sit and watch them bring things close to their face to inspect them better; his figurines which they – to his relief – handle with great care, or his manga comics to see which characters he’s fawning over.
He secretly loves that MC likes to chill by his fish tank wall. Why? They state that while there’s too much distortion for them to actually make anything out, they enjoy the ambient colouring and light; the two eventually just listen to music together like that as a means to relax.
Satan:
Of course he is utterly curious about MC’s condition and is glad to see how open they are to talking about it. He’ll look things up himself in his own time but nothing like hearing it from someone’s own experience.
Asks if those romance and crime novels are accurate; “so, do you touch people’s faces so you know what they look like?” finds it interesting that for the most part, this doesn’t happen; but it makes sense, he wouldn’t be too thrilled by someone he barely knows putting their hands onto him.
Writes down notes that he considers most important from the board during lessons and offers them to MC should they need them for their studies.
Another one who likes watching MC learn their way around Lamentation, like how they touch cupboard handles until they find the one they need while grumbling about how crappy the lights are.
Shared appreciation for just lying on the ground whenever a cat is near them, all responsibility out the window as number one priority is giving adorable little hellcats their undivided attention. Loves that MC is willing to con Lucifer into believing a cat makes a wonderful guide animal.
Asmo:
Oh poor MC, unable to see just how beautiful he is… Oh, they can kinda see? If he gets real close? Oh he can definitely do that! Bummed that MC promptly puts in some boundaries but once their relationship develops they do enjoy the closeness with him.
Learns – albeit slowly – that his looks aren’t going to win MC over, and instead begins to better understand the value of personality and getting to know a person. Should MC like Asmo, it’s because of who he is and not for all the fluffing he does with his looks.
Whenever he happens to be the brother escorting MC, just know he’ll always detour to the main hub; treating the two of them to manicures and pedicures, facials, all that fun stuff.
When shopping, he loves how MC feels the fabric of things he grabs for them and has an even bigger appreciation for how things feel on him. Absolutely enjoys offering explanations whenever MC would ask about colour or cuts if they can’t make them out should the lighting be too poor for them.
Will starting looking around for ‘fashionable’ canes. Yes, he knows it’s about practicality and he’s not going to take that away from MC, but what’s wrong with wanting to match their cane with that gorgeous outfit he’s picked out from them?
Beel:
Having no experience with a visually impaired human, he’ll ask MC if he should carry them places; it’s no big deal, they looked pretty light after all. Apologises if they happen to get a bit defensive so keeps close while they walk together, worried they may walk into or trip over something.
He’ll be curious about whether or not other senses are heightened due to the loss of another and is lowkey disappointed that they wouldn’t be able to hear someone in the kitchen stealing his food when they’re somewhere else in the house.
He loves cooking with them; the tastes of what he creates seem to be more balanced and they’re more than happy to sneak him a few snacks while Lucifer is occupied elsewhere. They’ll fool around, tasting things to see who can pick up more notes.
Things turn into a game between the two of them; if he spots MC in a room he’ll sneak up and try and get to them before they realise he’s there. “Too heavy on your feet,” or “you were giggling,” is something he hears a lot when trying.
Though MC can’t really see while he’s training or playing a game, he really appreciates that there still there to cheer him on; he’s taken to wearing a bright headband in hopes that they’ll be able to spot him out a bit better. They don’t half the heart to tell him they still can’t find him.
Belphie:
In the beginning, he’ll use MC’s lack of sight to their advantage; sly and manipulative to lure them in. Watches how they react to his voice, how their eyes or head move in the direction he’s in, learning how they work their other senses.
Tensions between the two would be tight after that moment and he’ll feel tremendous guilt for what he did to them; keeps himself at a distance, afraid they’ll recoil if they sense he’s too close and understands if they would.
Amazed that they find it in them to forgive him and help mend bonds between him and his brothers, and will spend whatever time he’s able building up trust with MC; whether that’s being their escort around Devildom or just being there for company.
He loves – when trust is established – that MC is just happy to lay with him while he star gazes and talks about what he sees, trying to paint a picture for them while they huddle up together in a fluffy blanket, sharing his cow print pillow.
Simeon/Luke:
They’re angels; their job is to look over and protect humans. So they are already well aware of how capable MC would be – Simeon more so than Luke since he’s younger and more interested in Michael – but they will still offer their assistance should MC need it.
They’re also the sort to take notes down during class that MC may not be able to see on the board; but they’ll ask before assuming.
Simeon has taken to writing a little bigger if it’s something he’d like MC’s opinion on his work; the two forming a bond through fiction and history. The two can be found losing track of time and just talking about any given thing.
Luke enjoys cooking with MC; asking them what they think of the taste of something he creates and asks how he can make it better. He’d love to be able to wow Michael upon his return to the Celestial Realm and MC will always critique his work rather than sugarcoat like Simeon would or just outright scare him like demons would. With a little push from MC, he takes lessons from Barbatos.
Solomon:
Quite unphased; he’s dealt with various impairments before seeing as he is still human despite being a very powerful sorcerer. He doesn’t offer assistance but will give it should MC ask him for help.
He has many a spell in his books that could quite possibly cure or ease symptoms of various impairments and is very tempted to bring this information to MC; but decides on holding back until he can figure out how to approach the subject. He’ll ask them how they feel about their situation and go from there.
Would also offer heightening other senses should MC want them; even temporarily if they’re just a little curious. “Let’s see what’s so crash hot about being Daredevil!” “My thoughts exactly MC.”

The drunk prompt, 15 I believe, and Zoro, pretty please? :) Congrats on 300, Love!
Breaking the cycle of endless Law fics with your other babe! I hope you enjoy some drunk ramblings with our favorite swordsman my love!! Sending you many many many fluffy hugs! 
Cliche with bae event Prompt #15: Drunken confessions  Character: Zoro Word Count: 1.6k  Warnings: mentions of alcohol, drunkness, and some swearing. 
Contest & Habits - Zoro x Reader 
Tumblr media
“Ten each!” Nami counted enthusiastically. You put your mug down roughly, wiping your mouth. At this point, you were barely registering the taste of the booze anymore, that stopped after mug number three. You were getting a little lightheaded, and you were starting to doubt this whole ordeal. Who had even proposed a drinking contest? Oh right, you did.
The green-haired man in front of you grinned. “Already ready to give up y/n? I am disappointed in you, but that’s okay, I knew you wouldn’t be able to defeat m-” “Fuck of Roronoa”, you interrupted him, before chugging another mug, and smugly stating: “you’re one behind”. The crew hollered at your remark, and Zoro could only respond by angrily chugging another mug as well. Like hell was he going to lose.
It had started off as a normal party. A normal banquet. You were close to reaching the next island, where no real adventure was planned, just to stock up on supplies and food. And Sanji wanted to make sure no food was wasted, so all the leftovers were turned into the most beautiful banquet you had laid eyes upon, and a barrel of booze was opened. You had made a remark amongst the lines of the barrel not being enough for you, and Zoro with his big mouth had said you probably wouldn’t even be able to get through one third on your own.
That was something you had taken as a challenge. Yes, you were the one that had proposed the drinking contest you were now slowly starting to regret. But you were way more stubborn than you were tipsy and you were not going to give up. You wanted to prove this moss head for once and for all that you were just as good a drinker. Even in your buzzed state, you realized that was terrible motivation, but sometimes sheer spite was enough to keep you going.
And thus, you kept drinking, now over fifteen mugs in, and while the barrel was getting more and more empty, and your head was buzzing more and more, but neither of you was ready to back down yet. Sanji had tried to intervene multiple times, saying a lady like you was already miles above Zoro in any way, and that you shouldn’t hurt your body with so much alcohol, but you didn’t pay any attention to it. Your focus was on Zoro, and trying to keep your thoughts straight.
“Guys. The barrel is finished. There are no drinks left… So I guess you’re even?” Usopp announced with an insecure smile. “Nonsense, I am still way more sober than Zoro is!” Your words were definitely slurred and you tried to stand up but needed two attempts -”a wave hit the sunny, no fair” “y/n we’re in still waters”-. Zoro immediately retorted: “Look at you, you can barely stand! No way you won y/n. Don’t think you could ever defeat me”
You stumbled forward, poking an accusatory finger at his chest. “Nu-uh. I am standing here. And I am….” You trailed off, as your eyes were too focussed on his pectorals where you placed your finger and the places where beer had spilled over his white shirt, clinging even more to his muscled torso. You blinked. You tried to rearrange your thoughts.
“You are drunk y/n”, Zoro grabbed the hand that was now resting on his chest as you were staring at him, pretty creepily at that. “Well, you are drunk too” was the best retort you could come up with, and before you knew you were flying.
At least that is what it felt like. Zoro had wrapped his hand around your arm and swiftly used his other hand to pick you up and sling you over his shoulder, using the fact that you were a little wobbly on your feet against you. He was not entirely sober anymore either, otherwise, he definitely wouldn’t have offered the others to take you to your room and make sure you were in bed so you could sleep off the haziness and hopefully be not too hungover the next day.
You wanted to loudly protest, but the sudden movement made you a little nauseous, so you settled for slapping his back. Strong as he was, Zoro didn’t even react, to him, it probably felt like a massage or something. “Hold still y/n” Of course, that only made you move more.
It took Zoro only three attempts to find the correct room. Which was not that bad, considering his clearly intoxicated state. He kind of inelegantly dropped you on the bed, looking around, searching for a bottle or something so he could leave some water behind. “Oi stupid moss head, why’d you carry me to my room?” “I’m not a moss head” “That was not my question.” “What was your question?”
You stared at him for a bit. This conversation of drunken nonsense was leading you nowhere. And you had to focus so hard to not get distracted again. Mind you, it was already hard for you not to stare at the man whenever you hadn’t touched a single drop of alcohol. But for your intoxicated mind it was even harder to tear your eyes away from him. It wasn’t your fault that he was so fine-looking. Too bad he was too stubborn. And to rude. And always got lost. And always stuck up for you. And was really nice when he needed it, just in his own blunt way. And actually kind of funny. And oh, when he smiled…
Wait. What was your drunken brain trying to do? Well, nothing more than what your sober subconscious brain had been trying to scream at you for months. But you had been way too stubborn to actually do something about it. Besides, Zoro seemed to only be interested in training, sleeping, and drinking, so like hell were you going to embarrass yourself by having feelings for him or something stupid like that. But now the nagging voice in the back of your head had gained power through the alcohol, and you had to physically stop yourself from actually saying something stupid.
“I don’t know anymore. Maybe I should just go to sleep.” You were ready to give up the fight. The useless bickering wasn’t even fun when you were drunk and Zoro looked like he could use a nap too. You nodded at him. “Thanks for carrying me here I guess. Even though you didn’t have to” “Yeah” He sheepishly nodded back, not really sure why he had done it either. But here you were. Both drunk off your asses, admiring each other's beauty and ready for naps.
Because Zoro had been staring at you too. You could mistake his frown for confusion, maybe he was thinking, probably not, when did he ever really think about things, but he was staring nonetheless. Frowning a little, and you were starting to feel terribly insecure. “Yeah, I’ll leave”, he suddenly broke his stare away from you and simultaneously spoke up. He stepped a little closer to the bed, you were not entirely sure why, surely his inner compass couldn’t be that bad that he didn’t realize the door was behind him? “Goodnight Zoro” “Goodnight Y/n,” he suddenly leaned forward and kissed the top of your head, something you had seen him do to chopper whenever he thought no one could see him and the little reindeer lay on top of him for a shared nap, “I love you, sleep tight.” He said is all so smoothly, out of such a habit, the words didn’t even get through to your brain before you realized what he had said.
“I’m sorry what?” your cheeks were burning up from the alcohol already, but now you were sure you were red all the way to your shoulders. Zoro did not seem to realize yet what exactly he had done until he was about to repeat his words. “Oh shit” You giggled. He didn’t even try to take his words back, and in your hazy state, your mouth made words before your mind could even process what you were about to do. “It’s okay, I kind of love you too moss head”
He didn’t even say something about the hated nickname as he stared at you again. For an outsider, the whole situation must’ve been hilarious, the two of you slurring words and having very slow movements as you were confessing your feelings while both your brains were desperately trying to make either of you stop.
“How about we repeat that in the morning? Making sure your little challenge didn’t mess with your head?” You nodded in agreement, sleeping seemed like a great idea regardless of what you just said.
You crawled under the covers, ready to say something to Zoro, but before you could even open your mouth, he had crawled in the bed beside you. The bed was too small for people and you ended up all pressed up against him, even more flush after he wrapped his arms around you, already closing his eyes and mumbling ‘perfect’ before you could even think about protesting.
It wasn’t ideal and you were pretty sure hungover you in the morning would be angry for sleeping with Zoro in your bed with your dirty day clothes on and all, but for now, this felt like heaven and the best plan ever. You almost regretted not napping with Zoro earlier, confessions or not. You looked up at his sleeping face and lazily placed a kiss on his lips.
“Then tomorrow I’ll tell you I love you for real.”

Into Wonderland Chapter 3: Octavinelle Part One-
Does anyone know how to do a dropdown thing? I feel bad about these posts filling up a chunk of the tag ;;;; Also sorry for the spam! I’m trying to publish what I already have done so I can finish it quickly!
They choke on sand that fills their mouth, sputtering and coughing as they gag. Seagulls screech ahead, diving into the water that crashes just a few feet short of their feet. Mc groans, rubbing their head as they look around. They seem to be at the bottom of a rocky cliff, at a beach.
About as far from the Savanah they'd been since they got there. They stand and look around frantically. Dread filling their gut as tears prick at their eyes.
"Nonono-" They mutter, pulling at the tunic they were gifted by Leona just hours ago. "Leona!" They yell, choking on their tears. This can't be happening again- They think hopelessly. "Jack!" They scream, running along the shoreline, hoping to find a way to get on top of the cliff, hopefully they'd see all the beastmen standing there and scolding them for doing something stupid again and- I'm never going to see them again. It's just like what happened in Wonderland. "Ruggie!" They choke out with a harsh sob.
"Ten years!" They yell to nobody in particular, hoping that whatever deity that keeps doing this to them will hear and start counting their days. "Ten fucking years! I was only in Wonderland for a day and a half! But ten years?!" They groan, doubling over and letting all their emotions out via screaming at seagulls, the ocean, and an unfortunate crab that might crawl by.
"Hey-" They gasp hearing a teenage boy's voice behind them. They jolt, Savanah instincts kicking in and making them accidentally bitch slap the blue haired boy.
"Oh my gosh I'm so so sorry-" They run over to the boy, who nurses his red cheek with his hand, wincing. "I'm just lost and something happened and I woke up here- Deuce?"
Laughing sounds from the top of the shore bank, and the two of them look up to see a redhead boy laughing to the point of tears and pointing at the blue haired boy. "Ace?"
That makes both of them stop in their tracks. "How do you know my name?" Right, world switching logic.
"Uhh- I knew someone back where I'm from with the same name and you look alike-" They decided to leave out the part where they both had rabbit ears.
"Right..." Deuce interjects. "Anyways. I'm Prince Deuce Spade and this is my advisor, Ace Trappola-"
"Oh my god I just slapped a prince-" They gasped, hands flying to their mouth. Ace laughs.
"Eh kinda helped me out there. You have no idea how many times I want to hit this guy but I can't-" Barking interrupts him from going on any longer. They turn their attention to a white wolf standing on the bank. Is that-
"Oh! And that's Jack!" Deuce introduces them. "Normally we're not allowed to have pets at the castle but I found him when he was a pup and took him in-"
"Thats because you don't have to clean up after him-" Ace mutters.
"Jack..." They smile, glad to at least see a form of their companion of the Savanah. Thinking of the beastmen feels like a knife to their chest and they gasp, tears trickling down their face.
"Hey! Hey!" Deuce is at their side in an instant as they apologize and wipe at their eyes with the backs of their hands. "What's the matter? Did- Did we say something?"
They shake their head. "It's not- it's not that. I just- I'm from really far away and I- I might never see my friends again, at least not for a long while," Jack walks up to them and nudges against their leg, allowing them to pet behind his fluffy ears. They laugh weakly, more tears streaming down their face at the familiarity.
"Jack reminds me a lot of one of my friends so I guess that got me-"
Ace and Deuce stare in shock, Deuce being knocked out of his trance before the former. "I-I'm so sorry-" He stammers before pausing for a moment.
"Hey, why don't you come with us on a trip?"
"What?!" Ace shouts.
"They're clearly upset about being away from their friends!" He defends the stranger. "Besides, we're going to see the neighboring islands and they might know something about where they're from-"
"But it's a stranger! They could try to kill you!" Ace groans.
"Jack trusts them-" He points to the dog, who still happily accepts Mc's head pats, bushy tail wagging behind him.
"He's a dog!" Ace groans as Deuce leads them across the beach. They walk for what feels like forever with the two bickering next to them, until they hit a dock with a giant ship floating at the end.
"This thing is huge..." They gasp in awe, almost tripping over their own two feet as they ascend on to the ship.
"Of course. It's a royal vessel-" Jack runs ahead of them. They talk for a bit, finally setting sail and going on their long awaited journey.
What happens if I do find them? Mc asks themselves, doubting their own hope. I hope they're okay, I mean- Leona almost died! They go on with their worried about their friends, replaying those last moments over and over in their head until it spins.
Until they hear a wet smack and a pained groan from the side of the ship.
"Ow!" A boys voice yelps from the side. Mc rushes over, leaning over the railing and making eye contact with the redheaded boy who clings to the side of the ship, his sea green tail flopping uselessly against the harsh winds of the ocean.
"You're-" They gape.
He lets out another yelp, slowly turning. His worried sky blue eyes crinkle as he offers a nervous smile. "I'm- I'm sorry! I shouldn't be here y'know maybe I shouldn't be talking at all I should be gone by now-" He rambles until Mc cuts him off, sitting with their back to him.
"Don't worry I won't rat you out-" They try to joke. "I'm just curious."
"Oh! I'm curious too!" As the boy says that his eyes trail over to the navy haired boy, who laughs and dances with the other teens on board. Jack sits across the deck, ever watchful eyes keeping track of anyone who might look suspicious.
"Of... Deuce?"
"Is that his name?" The boy sighs. Mc nods, looking between the two. "Name... Oh! I'm Rielle!" The boy extends a cold hand towards Mc, who hesitantly shakes it, careful of the soft webbing between each finger.
"Mc." They nod, looking at the boy.
"Hey uh.. quick question-" Mc starts. The boy turns his attention to them once more, tiktong his head. "Are there... eel... uhh..."
"Eel mers?" Rielle finishes.
They nod vigorously. "Yes!"
"Well... there's mers of every kind I guess. It's hard to find a strictly eel mer... or a mer of just one species for one!"
"What do you mean?"
"Most mer, like myself, are mixed so much that our tails rarely match up with one species of fish. Though, if you live in an area with a lot of sharkmer you'll probably find a pureblooded sharkmer, a place with a lot of cecaelia you'll find a lot of octomer-" The boy pauses, beaming. "I'm glad I remembered all that from those boring lessons-"
"Oh-" Mc starts, unsure of what to do with all the information they just received.
"Why do you ask?"
"J-just curious-" If they could avoid it, they'd like to stay out of the way of the twins they'd met back in Wonderland.
"Oh okay!" The boy chirps, going back to watching the humans dance on the wooden deck. "Can I ask you a question?" He whispers, voice soft.
"Yeah?"
"What's it like to dance? Or to walk or to-" The boy stammers a bit before sighing.
"Well it's-" They're cut off by a sharp jolt of the ship. On instinct they reach down and hold on to Rielle's forearm, the little bit of slime and small scales making it hard to grasp.
"I'll be fine!" He yells up after the ship screams and threatens to crack. Thunder booms overhead as it rocks and Mc slams against the railing, falling with the mer into the icy water. They let out a scream at the shock of the cold, choking on the water. Rielle grabs their arm and pulls them to a piece of driftwood. They can see the ship on fire out of the corner of their eyes, hazy with smoke and probably the concussion they had from hitting the water at that height. They can hear Deuce yelling, followed by Jack's pained yelps from the burning ship.
The last thing they see before they black out is Deuce throwing Jack off the ship into a lifeboat before plummeting to the sea, to where Rielle's fiery red hair waited just under the surface.
They wake up to a claw poking their cheek. "Hey-!" The claw pokes harder. "Ne- Jade- I think they croaked-"
"Nonsense. They're alive. Look, their tail is moving."
"Hey!" They get a firm smack to the forehead. They gasp and jolt awake, their forehead smacking the one hovering over theirs. The boy yelps and swims back. "Hey! What did ya do that for?!"
"I'm sorr-" They rub their own forehead and look over to see the same pairs of mismatched eyes that haunted their dreams of Wonderland. Really, universe?
"Oh, I'm glad to see your awake-" The softer twin steps forward. "How are you feeling?"
"Good I think-" The go to swing their legs over the ledge of the rock they were laying on, only to find it difficult to separate them. A tail swishes to the side where their legs should be and look down in horror to see that it had replaced them.
"What?!" They shriek, patting at the tail with their hands. Their hands also look discolored, now set with claws and thin webs between their fingers. They gasp and feel water rush in from the sides of their neck.
The twins watch in amusement, with Floyd laughing hysterically and Jade grinning behind his hand. "I hope you don't mind but we took the liberty of testing out a new potion on you. It's rare to get a human specimen around here. I do hope you understand-"
"I- a- po- Specimen!?" They yelp, hitting their head against the roof of the cave as they try to swim with their new tail. They try to stand upright but end up smacking both twins, making them both laugh again.
The human- well, used to be human- hides their face in the hands, humiliation kicking in. "Please stop-"
"Nope~!" Floyd laughs, circling Mc until his tail was tightly wrapped around theirs. His arms wrap around their throat, covering their gills. They try to shimmy out of his grip but end up making him squeeze them tighter instead.
"Can't-" They choke out. "Breathe-"
"Floyd." Jade warns. The other boy pouts but lets them go, not before giving them another rib crushing hug.
"I can't help it! They're so squishy in their new form! They look like a little minnow ready for me to sink my teeth into-" He lets out a high pitched giggle and chills run down their spine.
"We won't eat you, right, Floyd?" The calmer twin swims towards Mc, who still struggles to swim upright to look him in the eyes.
The other twin lets out a long, pained groan and rolls his eyes dramatically. "Riiiight-" He grunts as he flops into a bed of seaweed. "'Zul's orders-"
"Zul?" Mc asks.
"Azul Ashengrotto. The man who made your potion and now, your new boss."
"Boss?!" They yelp. "I never agreed to anything of that sort!"
"Hm? I thought it was fair." Jade hums, grabbing their arms and making them stand upright, moving their tail manually until they can swim straight.
"I mean, ya get to live after that shipwreck, and you get a free potion too-" Floyd begins.
"So it's only fair that you work with us." Jade finishes his twins sentence. Mc sputters and follows them as they leave the cave, swimming haphazardly through the open waters and ducking between large rocks and fish. Floyd practically crushes Mc with how tightly he holds them so they won't run off or swim into something else.
"B-but Rielle was going to save me! He told me to-"
"Rielle?" Floyd interrupts them, making them grumble and wriggle a bit in the eels hold. "Hey, Jade, why does that sound familiar?"
The other twin merely chuckles. "Thats the boy Azul was helping earlier-"
"Helping?" Mc asks. "What happened? Is he okay?"
"Oh he's just great~!" Floyd giggles. "Came into 'Zul's office all lovey dovey and traded his tail and voice for legs!"
"Oh..." Mc sighs. "He did ask me before what it was like to dance-"
"Before?" Jade asks. "This is interesting."
"Mhm!" Floyd laughs as they approach the shoreline. The surface of the water is clearly visible now, and they can see something floating above them. They can see other fish twirling around the boat as if dancing, and soft humming coming from the boat above.
"Floyd." Jade instructs.

Just some thoughts and rambling on the condemnation of the prequel-era Jedi Order and why I disagree with most of it.
Condemnation seems to mostly fall along one or more of these lines:
Their involvement in and actions during the war.
They’re a religious group that takes in members as children.
They didn’t give Anakin, specifically, things he wanted.
They don’t express affection and emotion in the “right” way.
The first one I think is the one I least have a problem with, because while a lot of that criticism can be responded to with, “well, what was the better alternative? what could they have done that Palpatine wouldn’t have still twisted against them?”, there are certainly mistakes and things that could have been handled better. A fair case can be made that they made bad choices. I’d disagree that this makes them as bad as some claim, and I think some attribute more power and agency within the Republic to them than what they actually had, but there’s at least a reasonable basis for this position since yes, the war did drive them to compromise on things and make decisions out of desperation.
The second is usually framed as “cult that steals babies and brainwashes them into their beliefs” which there is no evidence for in the films. The fact that they initially rejected Anakin in the belief that leaving him untrained would be safer, suggests that they’re perfectly fine not taking in every Force-sensitive child. And there is evidence in the films that they’re perfectly fine letting people leave if they decide the Jedi way of life isn’t for them, considering that Dooku did and the Jedi didn’t keep tabs on him and didn’t think badly of him for it (until they found out he was a Sith who was constructing an army and ordering hits on a Republic Senator - in fact they were reluctant to even entertain the thought of that last one until Obi-Wan’s eavesdropping confirmed it). And even within their ranks there’s a clear tolerance of dissent - Qui-Gon is specifically highlighted as a maverick, and the most trouble he gets for it is some exasperated side-eye and (according to Obi-Wan) is denied a leadership position. Hardly the cult-like intolerance and inflexibility that people attribute to the Order.
But, I suppose there could be points to be made about whether it’s acceptable to teach their beliefs to impressionable young minds. And you could just as easily counter that every society passes on beliefs and values to their children, and that an adoptive culture has just as much right to this practice as a culture by blood. But there is room for different interpretations here as long as you’re not jumping to the “baby-snatchers” nonsense.
The third one I think comes from a combination of the audience buying into Palpatine’s charismatic lies (he’s the one pushing the idea of the Jedi not trusting or appreciating Anakin, and manufacturing tension between them so that it becomes a reality, and the idea that the Jedi’s standard teachings of self-restraint are specifically targeting Anakin to hold him back somehow, that he deserves to get what he wants just because he’s powerful, etc - and some of the audience soaks that up just as Anakin does), and the natural tendency to be more concerned with the personal impact on the protagonist just due to the focus on their character. People want the protagonist to achieve their goals, we’re predisposed to favor their POV, and so when anything gets in the way of that, many find it unfair, especially since Anakin does as well. So I understand where this argument comes from, even as I strongly disagree with it and think it would, if given validity, undermine his role as an archetypal tragic hero (because classic tragic heroes very specifically bring about their downfall through their own flaws, their own agency, choices, and mistakes, not because people are “mean” to them or other external things).
But the fourth one - the fourth one is the one that bothers me the most, I think. While I’ll be charitable and say that the people making this argument hopefully don’t apply it to real-life people, it’s still a concerning line of thought. It very much comes across as “These people don’t express themselves like I do, they must be emotionless and loveless”. There’s no understanding for the validity of more understated and reserved expressions of love and other emotions in this argument; instead being reserved and controlled is considered something inherently unhealthy, that by being different than what’s normal in our culture, they must be suppressing and damaging themselves and others. Even stuff that doesn’t go full-on condemnation still treats it as something to be pitied, that boundaries around emotional intimacy aren’t something to be respected but instead broken down. And that bothers me a lot, because even setting aside the very real risk that uncontrolled emotions present for a culture with incredibly powerful empathic powers that they need to be responsible for, some people just aren’t as open and touchy-feely as others, and that should be okay. I know, personally, I know that people find it weird and off-putting and I understand that that can make it hard for people not so reserved to relate to the Jedi characters and their culture, and that’s fine and understandable, but that doesn’t mean that these characters (or people like them) are emotionless or less capable of love.

The bell rang, signaling the end of class. The boys and I were quick to pack up our belongings before making a beeline for Mr. Clarke's desk, eager to see if the Heathkit came. All the while Mr. Clarke was reminding the already fleeting class of our homework assignment.
"Remember, finish chapter 12 and answer 12.3 on the difference between an experiment and other forms of science investigation. This will be on the test, which will cover chapters 10 through 12. It will be multiple choice with an essay section." His voice faltered towards the end of his sentence as he realized no one had been paying attention.
His head turned to us and he didn't seem too surprised to see us so eager. Mike couldn't take the wait any longer and spoke up on the behalf of all of us.
"So, did it come?"
Mr. Clarke looked solemn. "Sorry, guys," Our heads began to hang in disappointment at his words. "I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but... It came!"
My face lit up with relief. We followed Mr. Clarke down the halls in anticipation. Mike got to the door first and eagerly threw it open, the rest of us close on his tail.
"Yes!"
Since Mike was the first through the door, naturally he dove for the desk chair as the rest of us scuttled over each other, each of trying to get a close look at it. Lucas and I seemed to have the same idea as we fiddled with the knobs on the Heathkit as Mr. Clarke addressed the new device we were all so eager to see.
"The Heathkit ham shack," The boys and I were in awe.
"Ain't she a beaut?" Mr. Clarke sighed. Dustin then spoke up. "I bet you could talk to New York on this thing."
"Think bigger." Said Mr. Clarke. I rose my eyebrow and looked to my teacher as I questioned, "California?"
"Bigger." 'No way.'
"Australia?" Mike pressed. We all turned out heads hopefully to Mr. Clarke as he responded with a smile and the shake of his head. We all exclaimed.
"Oh man," Lucas chuckled in excitement. "When Will sees this, he's totally gonna blow his shit." My smile faltered at the mention of Will, as Mr. Clarke scolds Lucas for his foul language. Lucas apologized turning back to the Heathkit, and I shake my head slightly trying to get my mind off of Will.
Lucas seems to have found the right settings on the dials based on the high pitch frequencies coming out of the Heathkit. Mike has the headphones on and begins to speak into the mic in an Australian accent.
"'Ello, this is Mike Wheela', president of Hawkins Middle AV Club."
Dustin then practically ripped the headphones off of Mike's head, a big goofy grin on his face as he placed them on his head. Mike was in a fit of giggles as he spoke. "What are you doing?" Dustin proceeded to do the exact same thing as Mike just moments ago.
"'Ello, this is Dustin, and this is the secretary and treasurer of Hawkins Middle AV Club. Do you eat kangaroos for breakfast?" I giggle, shaking my head thinking about the poor confused soul who is stuck listening to the boys ramble on. As Lucas grabs for the headphones, I turn around so I'm facing Mr. Clarke, and I give a polite, yet warm smile. "Thank you."
"You're very welcome, Y/n," He returned the smile, seeming appreciative of the fact that at least one of us said 'Thank you'. He has always been a great teacher, and I don't think anybody ever really appreciates or even thanks him very much. I can't imagine how frustrating it can be as a teacher. I laugh to myself at the sight of my friends playfully fighting over who gets to use it next, when our fun gets cut short at the sound of a knock on the door. We all turn our heads to see the Principle walk in, a couple of men behind him.
"Sorry to interrupt, but, uh, may I borrow Y/n, Michael, Lucas, and Dustin?" To say my stomach dropped would be an understatement as I got a better look at the men out in the hallway and realized it was the Chief and one of his officers.
My mouth ran dry.
'Will.'
The four of were seated on the couch in the Principal's office, Chief Hopper, and officer Callahan - I believe his name was - seated in chairs opposite us. I was seated between Mike and Dustin, I kept my mouth shut unless told otherwise, and my hands have woven together in my lap, much too afraid to do otherwise. The boys, on the other hand, were freaking out and all trying to speak at once. I tried nudging them warningly with my elbows but they just ignored me. It seemed I had made the right choice in being quiet, as Hopper seemed to have gotten impatient almost immediately.
"Okay, okay, okay. One at a time all right? You." He points Mike. Mike shakes his head. "You said he takes what?"
"Mirkwood."
"Mirkwood." His face scrunched up in confusion.
"Yes," I croaked involuntarily, wanting to explain to him that it is just our name for road.
"Have you ever heard of Mirkwood?" He turned to the officer.
"I have not. That sounds made up to me." The officer replied. This timid, awkward man gave me the impression he was more of a 'Yes-man' and knew nothing about what he was doing.
"No, it's from Lord of the Rings."
'Oh, here we go.' I think to myself, sighing.
"Well, The Hobbit."
Mike and I look at each other, knowing what's happening.
"It doesn't matter." Lucas retorted.
"Knock it off!" I warn, trying my best to throw my whisper across the couch without drawing attention to myself.
"He asked!" Dustin nearly shouted.
"Guys!" I hissed.
"'He asked'" Lucas mimicking Dustin, not even listening to me.
I looked over at Mike for help but he is already checked out.
They continue talking over each other in a childish manner and the chief leans forward trying to silence them.
"Hey, hey, hey!" They quieted down finally. "What'd I just say? One at a damn time. You." He nodded to me. He seemed to tolerate just Mike and me.
"Mirkwood, as Mike was saying. It is a real road. It's just the name that's made up, it's what we call it. It's where Cornwallis and Kerley meet." I finish.
He seems satisfied, finally having a straightforward answer. He leans back in his chair, talking now to Callahan.
"Yeah, all right, I think I know that—"
"We can show you, if you want." Mike offered hopefully, cutting the chief off mid-sentence.
"I said that I know it!"
"We can help look."
"Yeah" Dustin added hopefully.
"No."
And just like that, the boys begin to talk over each other once again. Knowing better than to waste my breath trying to shut them up, I sit back once again, hands in my lap waiting for the Chief to continue.
"No," He says loud enough to quiet the boys. "After school, you are to all go home. Immediately. That means no biking around looking for your friend, no investigating, no nonsense. This isn't some Lord of the Rings book."
"The Hobbit."
"Shut up!" Lucas gave Dustin a swat on the arm.
Dustin reached over and hit Lucas back, knocking me and Mike back in the process. I roll my eyes in annoyance, and fight every urge I have not to shout at them.
"Hey!"
Mike finally snaps. "Stop it!"
They continue hitting each other and Hopper finally leans over and says quietly, in an irritated tone. "Do I make myself clear?"
I was the only one paying attention so based on his tired, lowered voice and his eyes on me, I could tell he was just talking to me at this point.
I shook my head. "Yes," I mutter.
He nodded his head at me in thanks. All the while, the boys were still bickering. Hopper's gaze landed on the boys, and he stood up and walked forward towards us. The way his tall frame towered over us was overwhelming, and enough to shut the boys up. In a deep, intimidating voice, he repeated his words, slowly.
"Do I make myself... clear?" The boys nod their heads in fear, their necks craning up to meet his eyes.
"Yes, sir."
"Yeah."
"Yes."
⊹ ⊹ ⊹
I've been laying in my bed, staring at the ceiling for about thirty minutes, give or take a few. I had managed to do all of my school work, including my project that wasn't due for another week and a half, read three books — granted, they were fairly short — and I was still left with nothing to do but worry about Will. The fact that I'm not allowed to help is driving me crazy, even though I keep trying to tell myself the adults are better equipped to deal with this stuff. My thoughts are interrupted by the crackling of the walkie-talkie that was sitting on my dresser. Since our mom couldn't afford two walkie-talkies, Dustin and I share one. I usually have it though so I can talk to Will.
The voice coming through sounded like Mike. Rather than getting my hopes up I just decided to stay put, staring at my ceiling, listening in.
"Lucas, do you copy? It's Mike. Lucas? Over."
"Hey, it's Lucas."
"I know it's you. And say 'over' when you're done talking so I know when you're done. Over." I roll my eyes and smile.
"I'm done. Over." I chuckle at this.
"I'm worried about Will. Over." My smile quickly falls.
I can hear Lucas sigh. "Yeah. This is crazy. Over."
"I was thinking..." Now I was really paying attention. "Will could've cast Protection last night, but he didn't. He cast fireball. Over." I sat up slowly, my eyebrows furrowed at the walkie.
"What's your point? Over."
"My point is... he could've played it safe, but he didn't. He put himself in danger to help the party. Over." A bittersweet smile flutters across my face briefly at this.
"Meet me in ten. Over and out."
'To hell with adults.' I tell myself. I leap off my bed and grab the walkie, knowing they'll still be able to hear me.
"Forgetting someone? Over."
"Y/n? Over." It was Mike.
"Don't worry, I'll let Dustin know. Over and out."
I retract the walkie before shoving it into my bag and heading for Dustin's room.
⊹ ⊹ ⊹
Once I had caught Dustin up on everything, the four of us had met up and we are now currently riding down Mirkwood. The thought of my best friend disappearing right here, exactly 24 hours ago was enough to give me chills.
"Ah, man. This is it." Lucas broke the silence as we approached the barrier closing off the path where his bike was supposedly found. We all came to a stop.
For a brief moment, the woods were lit up by lightning in the distance as thunder bellowed across the sky. Dustin looked up at the blanket of clouds above the trees, his voice shaking.
"Hey, guys. You feel that?" He was obviously referring to the rain that fell on his face. I roll my eyes. "I think maybe we should go back."
"No!" Mike and I said simultaneously.
"We're not going back. Just stay close." Mike and Lucas continued on into woods. I was eager to follow them but not without trying to reassure my brother.
"Dustin, he's right. Look, I know you're scared right now, okay? I'm scared too, but can you even imagine how scared Will must be? We have to do this. For Will." I didn't wait for a reply and ran to catch up with Mike and Lucas.
Knowing my brother, he would rather stay in a group than split up. Sure enough, he gave in.
"Hey, guys, wait up!" He said, dropping his bike. "Wait up!"
We started walking again, and as we did it I could feel the rain start to soak my neck and shoulders. I pulled my hood up over my head, turning on my flashlight and set off into the night, eager to find my friend.
⊹ ⊹ ⊹
The thunder rumbled, and as we ventured deeper into the forest I could feel the light drizzle of rain evolving into a steady downpour.
"WILL!"
"WILL!" I cried.
"Byers!" Lucas yelled.
Dustin tried a different approach. "I've got your X-Men 134!"
Our flashlights were hardly making a difference at this point. Dustin spoke up again. "Guys, I really think we should turn back."
"Seriously, Dustin?" Lucas exclaimed. "You wanna be a baby, then go home already!"
"I'm just being realistic Lucas!"
"No, you're just being a big sissy."
"Did you ever think Will went missing because he ran into something bad? And we're going to the exact same spot where he was last seen? And we have no weapons or anything?"
I start to slow down once I heard something in the bushes.
"Dustin, shut up." Mike spoke up.
'Okay, thankfully, Mike must have heard it too.'
"I'm just saying, does that seem smart to you?"
"Dustin!" I snap. "Zip it!"
Now the rustling was loud and clear.
"Did you guys hear that?" Mike asks.
I just shake my head, looking around for the source of the noise. The rustling is louder than ever and we all turn in the direction it came from. All our flashlights pointed in that direction. Then we heard it again. It was right behind us. We whipped around to find a girl, with a buzz cut, wearing nothing but 'Benny's Burgers' T-shirt. We all stood there, mouths agape at this girl, shivering and cowering in fear.

honestly i love how much you love vegeta! and i really like the way you write him! would you be able to write something around the majin saga?? not necessarily in the saga but centered around the same type of things?? maybe vegeta admitting that he misses the way he used to be when he didn't care about anything and didn't have any attachments?? and then something happens to make him realize that love isn't a crutch but a weapon? thank you in advanced!!!
a/n: thank you so much, you sweet little thing!! i hope i do your request justice :)
a/n x2: wow i am pretty much just rambling in this fic. hopefully it makes some sort of sense. 
Tumblr media
“I will not be bested by that sad excuse for a Saiyan again!”
You hear the roar from across the courtyard and it piques your interest. You look outside to see Vegeta panting, chest heaving as he blasts through a training session. You want to laugh, but this time is different. Vegeta has always been tense, but the past few weeks have been excruciating. 
“Vegeta!” you call, leaning out the open window of the kitchen. He turns just enough that you know he’s recognized your voice and you smirk, “Lunch is ready.”
“How dare you interrupt my training?” he scoffs, snatching a bottle of water from the countertop. Vegeta drinks the entire bottle, crunching the plastic between his hands before tossing it perfectly into the trash can. 
You take a breath, “Are you okay?”
Vegeta pulls a plate of food from the counter and broods over the top of it for a moment before eating a few bites. He’s surprisingly reserved today, which only makes you even more scared and confused. 
“I refuse to fall behind him any longer,” Vegeta scowls. His jaw trembles under the stress of his teeth as he grinds them together roughly. “Even in death, he surpasses me. I can sense it.”
You shake your head and lean against the counter, your arms tucked around your abdomen. “I think that’s part of the reason you’re having issues.”
He raises a brow and you swear you see his eyes start to glow. Vegeta grunts before shoveling another mouthful of food between his lips. he doesn’t answer you immediately, but when he does, the sheer anger that is simmering just beneath the surface of his words sends a chill down your spine.
“I would rather die than be bested by that terrible representation of our race.”
You swallow and respond despite everything in your body telling you to tread carefully, “I don’t know what crawled in your armor this morning, but you need to calm down. Your whole life doesn’t have to revolve around Goku, you know. Maybe try just getting better for yourself?”
“You foul woman,” Vegeta growls, grasping you by the collar to pull you close. “How dare you speak out against me, Prince Vegeta?”
“Talking about yourself in third person won’t make you any more intimidating,” you narrow your eyes at him and wedge your pointer finger into the hollow of his throat. “I’m sick and tired of this back and forth, Vegeta. It’s redundant for you to believe that all there is in life is for you to be better than Goku.”
“Kakarot,” he huffs under his breath. 
You roll your eyes again, “Regardless! Haven’t you seen that there is so much more to life than just the next fight? You’re absolutely ridiculous!”
Somehow you manage to slap his hand away so he releases his grip on you. You turn on your heels and don’t look back over your shoulder as you make your way back to the engineering building, ready to fill your mind with busy work so you don’t have to worry over the frustrating prince. 
--
Something shifts the next time he’s in the med bay. 
You’ve engineered a new type of spray on bandage that minimizes healing time by half, which is much better than your last invention. You’re rubbing in the adhesive when you notice the Saiyan’s eyes are on you.
You tilt your head up in silent questioning. He does not say anything.
Vegeta’s dark eyes are difficult to look away from - he commands you with just a glance and you know he would have made a strong king, if his planet were still around. He would have been a proud Saiyan, one who led his people with honor. 
“What are you thinking about?” he asks you, breaking your mind from your imaginative state.
You can’t help the small grin that perks your lips, “You.”
It’s bold, and daring, but you do it anyway. 
His voice catches in his throat as his Adam’s apple rakes across the thin skin of his neck. Vegeta tenses under your hands, but you continue your ministrations despite it all. You are wrapping gauze around his bicep when he asks why you’d be thinking about him. If you weren’t so distracted by the sinew of his muscle, you’d be sure that he’s nervous. 
“I’m imagining you on Planet Sadalla, or Planet Vegeta. You, as a king, with your tail.” You lick your lips and refuse to meet his eyes, you can’t handle the intensity now. A blush brings heat to your cheeks, “I think you’d have made a wonderful king, a great leader. You have honor and pride and you know your way around an enemy. I’m angry at Frieza for taking that from you; I wish I could punch him in his smug, alien face.”
A chuckle catches you off guard. You turn your head to look at him, a smile gracing his face. It’s strange, new. You want to cup his cheek with your palm and take in every curvature of his face, but you know better. 
“Frieza would demolish you, little earth woman,” Vegeta cackles. His palm presses to your thigh where it’s straddling the bed next to his own body, and you feel a wave of heat and electricity spark in your veins. His eyes are hooded when he looks up at you, “I appreciate your desires, nonetheless.”
You grit your teeth for a moment as you contemplate speaking up again. Whatever emboldened you before is back at it, and when you say your next words, you confuse the Saiyan prince even more: “I hate what the world has put you through, Vegeta. You’ve been enslaved, murdered, stolen from your home, lied to, and manipulated. I wish I were strong enough to become everyone of your oppressors nightmares, but I know I’m not.”
“I don’t need your-” 
Something stops Vegeta mid-sentence.
He clears his throat and starts again: “Would you like to train with me?”
“Wh-” You drop the bandage in your hand and it rolls around on the floor until it’s nothing but a cardboard tube. You tilt your head and he chuckles at the sight, “You look like a confused animal, earthling. Do you want to train or not?”
You swallow thickly and stumble over your words for a moment before agreeing. You pick at your cuticles when you speak again, “W-What would be the point? You’re so much stronger, I wouldn’t be a challenge for you at all.”
“Tch, nonsense,” Vegeta stands to his feet and flexes his hands into fists, feeling his way around the bandages there. “I trained with Kakarot, and he’s hardly more than a child in an overgrown Saiyan body.”
You shake your head. You can’t believe this. 
“Vegeta, I-”
“Do you want to, or do you not? I won’t offer again.”
-
It’s another hour before he has you pinned to the ground, knee between your legs and a palm pressed firmly to your throat. You claw at his arms but he pins your wrists above your head with a quick side swipe.
You kick him in the back with your free leg and cry out for mercy. He chuckles as he releases his hand from your neck, but does not remove himself from you. 
“You did well,” he tells you, brushing a stray lock of hair from where it was stuck with sweat against your cheek. Vegeta smirks, “You’ll be the strongest earthling in no time.”
You can’t help it when you laugh, “Vegeta, Krillin would take me out in one blow. You don’t have to lie to me, I know I’m a weakling.”
His thumb stops against your law and his eyes are like crystals when he glares down at you, “Don’t ever call yourself weak. You’re the strongest woman I know.”
The fact that he so gently left out “little earth” from before the “woman” bit does not go unnoticed by you. You take a chance and reach up to run your thumb over the pulsing muscle of his bicep. 
“Gah,” he squints and steps away from you, rolling his shoulders as he stands to his full height. He shakes his head and looks down at you, “That’s all for today.”
You squeeze your palms a few times to regain feeling, noticing the small splits and cuts there. You weren’t able to get hits on Vegeta, but you did manage to slam into the walls and floors and fighter-bots a few times. He must notice you looking at them because he asks, “Does the doctor need a doctor?”
You don’t want to admit that the gashes in your hands hurt as bad as they do because he just called you strong, so instead you nod your head in the slightest. The motion makes him chuckle and you like the sight of a smile on his face. 
He walks just ahead of you back to the med bay, his own bandages still fresh from the past few training sessions he’s held on his own. You find your way to one of the beds and sit a still as possible while he plucks different supplies from the cabinet. You think he’s going overboard - he’s got all kinds of things sitting on the counter now - but you dare not criticize him for fear of him possibly lashing out and you having to dress your wounds yourself. 
“Thank you,” you force yourself to say before the pain of stitching you up begins. You look up at him as he loiters over you, all bulk and muscle. It’s still a strange sight to see when the smallest of grins upturns the corners of his lips. 
“I couldn’t let you give yourself second-rate stitches,” he shrugs off your compliment, doling out a few anti-bacterial wipes to clean the blood and dirt off first. “If you get an infection, you won’t be able to train again.”
You nod and let him get to work. He slots himself between your knees and holds your palms more gingerly than you thought ever possible. You try your hardest not to wince when the antiseptic soaks into your open wounds, you know that Vegeta would take back what he said about you being the strongest woman he knows if he saw you squirming because of a little stinging pain.
“You can stop being so tense,” his voice is just as gentle as his touch and it startles you. You swear you hear a short bark of a laugh part his lips.
“I’m sorry.” You swallow the lump in your throat and try to relax your muscles. You swing your feet back and forth just enough to brush your thigh against his and the friction makes you both startle. 
Vegeta looks you in the eye, “Why are women always apologizing?”
You’re confused by his question until you realize that you did in fact apologize. Your cheeks burn and you feel your stomach flip, “I-uh, I don’t know.”
“Well, little woman,” he grabs for the cotton bandages to wrap your clean hands so they can heal. “You should stop apologizing. You have nothing to be sorry for, not with me.”
Vegeta turns his head and glances at your split lip before silently starting to clean it as well. His thumb brushes the pad of antiseptic over the cut and you hiss at the feeling. Surprisingly, he cradles your jaw in his palm and kneels down to look at your wound closer, never releasing the cotton pad from your lip.
You go to apologize, but he pushes the pad of his thumb against your parted lips, “Don’t.”
Your brow is raised and he answers your quiet question, “You were about to apologize. I already told you there’s no need.”
The lump in your throat grows with emotion and you let him continue his ministrations. He’s close to you and his Saiyan blood pumps hot in his veins, the skin of his that’s touching you making your body boil. You lean into his hand and he doesn’t rebuff you, so you stay there while he cleans your lip. 
“There,” he removes the cleansing pad from your lip and takes a half step back from you. Vegeta looks up at you and you’re suddenly aware of how close your faces are. If you were to lean forward and he weren’t to run away, you could kiss him soundly, despite the split on your lip.
It takes all of the courage in your body, but you grip him by the hem of his shirt and tug him down to kiss him square on the mouth. Vegeta lets a surprised gasp echo from the back of his throat and it turns something over in your belly. You let your fingers wander, the pads of your bandaged hands brush over the taut muscle of his abdomen. 
Vegeta’s hand is still on your jaw, his thumb just under the soft part of your chin. He holds you still, his other palm cupping your thigh as it inches up his side. You whimper as his teeth graze over your lip, splitting the wound again. His tongue touches the sensitive flesh and then he pulls away, his thumb finding the wound once again.
“I guess you’ll have to take a break from training, little woman,” Vegeta smirks, eyes tracking the movement of your pulse against your neck. He snickers, “You’re bleeding.”
“As if,” you curl closer to him, your ankles wrapped around his calves. “You just don’t want to have to face me again. Like I’d give you the satisfaction.”
The look on his face is one you can only describe as prideful.
-
“I’m only joining this stupid competition so I can kick Kakarot’s ass!” Vegeta growls, curling his hands to fists. “If we’re here for some silly reason other than the competition, I’m going to rip you all apart!”
Goku is standing in front of him, halo hovering over his head, and it’s like a billboard that displays all of the Saiyan prince’s inequities. The kai’s share their ideas and it only makes Vegeta’s blood boil.
A heat begins to pulse at the back of Vegeta’s head and he hears a voice, small and slithering like a tendril of smoke. It threatens to take over his mind if the plume grows too large. 
I will give you the tools to overpower Goku and take back your Saiyan pride once more. 
Vegeta shakes his head, the voice pounding against the sensitive spots just behind his eyes. He swallows the lump growing in his throat and tries to ignore the temptation.
You will finally be able to surpass the lower-class Saiyan and prove that you are the almighty Prince Vegeta!
A searing starts on Vegeta’s forehead and he doubles over in pain. He screams, attracting the eyes of those around him. 
I will help rid you of all your possessions that are holding you back! You will be the mightiest warrior! 
“Vegeta!”
He turns his eyes to see you in the bleachers, your hands cupped around your mouth as you shout out to him. 
The way tears sit in your eyes makes his heart clench in his chest, but the burning keeps coming. The cloud of smoke is burning just behind his eyes, clouding his mind until it hurts to keep his eyelids open.
Your steps are quick as you rush down the bleachers, pushing past security. He can sense your energy as you come closer, and the closeness of it pulls him from his fog. He winces as he looks up at you, falling down to his knees as the writhing pain continues. 
“What is going on?” you ask him, mirroring his position. You shake your head, “Hey, talk to me.”
“Get away from me, you foul woman!” Vegeta snaps.
You can see the tears in his eyes, and you know that there is something sly afoot. You run your hands over his shoulders and up his neck to cradle his jaw, “Stop this. What’s happening?”
Vegeta winces, “I-I said to get away.”
You notice there is a symbol pulsing red on his forehead - it looks similar to the letter “m”. You brush your thumb over the spot and Vegeta whimpers in pain. 
“I need to beat Kakarot,” he murmurs, blood trickling from his nose at the struggle. “I am sick and tired of these earthly tendencies I’ve picked up. I’ve forgotten what it means to be a proud Saiyan!”
You tilt his chin upward and he looks you in the eyes and you can see that there is some horrible internal battle that he’s going through. You’re not sure if you can do anything to help him.
“Vegeta,” you whisper, your knees digging into the dirt. “I’m not sure who is trying to overpower you, but you’re so much stronger than this. You don’t need anyone else’s help to pass Goku’s power level. You can do it on your own!”
You palm his cheeks, forcing him to look at you. His eyes are dull and you feel his spirit fading as the mark on his forehead grows more opaque.
“I don’t need you,” he grits the words between his teeth like they hurt. Blood trickles down his nose as he continues fighting. His palms dig into the dirt, his Super Saiyan form threatening to break through. “I don’t need you!”
You try not to take it personally - he’s going through something and you must be a part of it. You swallow your pride and force your tears to stay locked away, “Vegeta. I can feel some negative energy. Please, tell me what’s going on.”
She does not know what it means to be a proud warrior. She is but a mortal! Get rid of her, she is the problem. She has made you weak, she has softened you. She is what is holding you back from becoming a true Saiyan warrior!
“You’re the issue,” he grumbles, looking you in the eye. His eyes glow blue and the aura around him starts to shine golden and you know that Super Saiyan is on the way. “You’ve made me weak, you frail, pathetic earthling! I’ve grown too comfortable here, too complacent. I’m a pathetic Saiyan - I should be proud! I should be formidable! Instead, I’ve become satiated. I’ve lost my drive!”
A resounding SLAP can be heard across the entire courtyard. 
Vegeta’s cheek is bright red and your hand is ready to come back around for another smack. Your lip is trembling but you force yourself to speak, “Your doubt in this moment is what’s making you pathetic, Vegeta.”
His jaw goes slack and he tries to formulate a response but you notice the dark symbol on his forehead is beginning to fade just slightly. 
“You having something to fight for makes you that much more powerful. When you have nothing to lose but yourself, it’s easy to fall, it’s easy to take a loss because it doesn’t matter.” You coddle his cheek, feeling horrible for the action but knowing it was necessary nonetheless. You lick your lips and feel your voice growing heavy, “Whatever this is that’s tempting you to break away from the path you’re going down, it’s lying to you. It’s manipulating you.”
“How dare you!” Vegeta’s brows are raised, eyes wild, “How dare you insinuate that I, the mighty Prince Vegeta, can be manipulated!?”
Your lip quivers, “Go on, then,” you shrug, falling back on your heels, “make it easy. Say I never mattered to you.”
Flashes of memories burn behind your eyelids. Moments of lips and hands and skin. Moments of secrets and truths and laughs. Moments where you thought the feelings blossoming between the two of you could mount to something much more permanent.
“I-” Vegeta’s voice is caught in his throat, his fingers shaking at his sides. 
He’s looking down at you and trying to beat out the cloud in his mind, the voice that’s telling him how you really shouldn’t be important. He can’t help but feel that it’s all lies - but if it’s lies, then why does it feel so right? 
That’s right, Vegeta. Let go of her. Let go of your attachment. I can make you powerful, but you have to let go.
“Listen to me, Vegeta,” you pull at his cheeks again, forcing his gaze to fall on you. You run your hands against his face and push his hair back out of his eyes, “I don’t know who is on the other side of this, but don’t let them win. You’re the strongest, smartest, and most capable fighter I know. You can beat this!”
Vegeta grips his hands in his hair and squeezes his eyes shut, letting out a feral scream. Tears surge down his cheeks and he starts talking in an ancient language that you don’t understand, and to someone that you cannot see. 
The symbol on his forehead glows bright red before fading away. 
He releases a puff of breath through his mouth before falling to the ground, the exertion from the internal struggle wearing out his body and mind. 
You catch him against your own body, resting his head in your lap, “C’mon,” you look up at the others, “I’m going to take him back to Capsule. It looks like you guys have a fight to win.”
-
When Vegeta awakens, he’s surprised to find you curled up in a chair with a small scrap of a blanket covering only half of your body. There are gentle snores rumbling in your chest and the Saiyan finds himself grinning at the sound. 
“Hmm,” you murmur as you readjust, your eyes opening just enough to check on him. Once you’ve realized that he’s awake, you leave your eyelids cracked so you can keep a closer watch on him. 
“You stayed,” Vegeta manages. He doesn’t reach out to grasp for you - he doesn’t feel like he has the right. Not after what he said at the arena earlier. He never has really deserved you, but now he knows that you should run far away from him. 
You nod and tuck the blanket up under your chin, “Yes, of course. Someone had to make sure you didn’t try for world domination in your sleep. You were under some heavy medicine.”
“I’m so sorry,” he blurts.
You’ve never heard Vegeta apologize for anything, ever. 
Your body is moving before your mind can comprehend. You’re climbing into his hospital bed, holding onto your scarce blanket as to not totally invade his space. You tuck yourself into his side and take a deep breath.
“You were being controlled by a wizard, I know that now.” You brush your thumb against the bulging muscle of his bicep. “I’m so sorry, Vegeta. I just want you to have some peace.”
He turns, much to your surprise, and envelopes you in his arms. Your ankles cross and you hold back tears at the thought of what he was going through silently. You feel the warmth of his kiss against the top of your head, “I shouldn’t have said those things to you. I didn’t mean them. I-I was...frightened.”
You tilt your head upward, the corner of your mouth grazing his jaw, “I know. I can’t even imagine.”
Vegeta swallows and brushes his thumb over the shell of your ear, lingering against the corner of your jaw. He smiles, “You got me through it. He was trying to use you against me, to tell me that you were the reason I was weakening. And yet, knowing that it was you trying to talk me out of it was the very thing that convinced me to break out of the wizard’s control and come back to my senses.”
“I-I,” you take a short breath, unsure if you want to make your admission out loud. Instead, you back pedal, “You’re important to me, Vegeta. I’m so glad you’re safe.”
He tilts your head upward and you feel his lips before you can blurt out anything else emotional. Vegeta’s palm stays against your neck, so he can feel your pulse. For some reason he needs to be sure that you’re real and that you’re safe. 
“You foul woman,” he murmurs against your lips, and you can feel the smirk in his voice. “How dare you make me fall in love with you?”
You smile in return, your body melting as he holds you close. You shrug, running your thumb over his collarbones. “I hope that won’t be a problem, Prince Vegeta?”
His eyes turn to dark, crystalline orbs that take in your every minuscule movement. Vegeta’s breath hitches, “No, little woman.” He presses a warm kiss to your lips, biting down on your lower lip with his sharp canine teeth. 
“I don’t think it will.”
a/n: I HOPE THAT YOU LOVED IT. FEEL FREE TO REQUEST MORE! SORRY TO THOSE WHO HATE ME WRITING THIS WAY BUT IDC I LOVE IT AND I’M WATCHING SUPER RIGHT NOW AND IT’S GOT ME IN MY FEELS FOR GEETS.

Jealous
an imagine where you were having a shitty week which only became shittier as you see Shuhua and Soojin together.

Tumblr media Tumblr media
You've been feeling annoyed over the stupidest things the past few weeks and it drove you crazy. Like when the cabinets won't close so you start furiously banging on them, or when the TV remote won't work which made you slam it hard on the couch.
What's worse was that your girlfriend is busy practicing all week for their next comeback and you're all alone at home with no one to comfort you.
You just got into the shower and when you reach for the shampoo bottle, you find it empty. You slam it to the floor and kick it angrily as you sigh to yourself, "The hell is wrong with me."
. . . . .
While you were scrolling through Instagram, you get a notification from Shuhua which immediately caught your attention. You opened the message and read, "Hey baby! Pick me up from the studio and let's stop by R/N, my treat :)"
(a/n: R/N means restaurant name for those who didn't understand xx)
You smile wide at your girlfriend's text and replied, "I'll be there in 20, love. See you!" and you quickly got up from the bed to change your clothes. You two were finally going to spend some time together and you couldn't be more happier.
You had so much to share and wanted her to talk about how their practice is going as well. You put on a simple white hoodie and black leggings paired with white shoes as you tie your hair into a messy bun.
You started heading out your shared apartment and when you thought nothing more could go wrong, someone bumped into you and accidentally stepped on your white shoes. Your white fucking shoes.
You started feeling your anger rise every second the person apologizes and you wanted to hit them so bad but instead gave him the fake "Its okay" reply just like you always do.
The moment they were out of your sight you started cursing and bent down to wipe your shoes with a tissue. You threw the tissue at the wall when the dirt wont come off and decided to just clean them once you get home.
You put on your earphones to listen to music to hopefully calm yourself down.
. . . . .
You were almost there and let Shuhua know that you were coming so that she could get ready to leave when suddenly another person bumped into you which made you drop your phone.
Apparently, it had been raining last night so your phone dropped into a small puddle of water. That was the last straw and you yelled at the person, "Dude what the fuck?! Could you look where the fuck you're going next time and not drop other people's phones?"
They immediately apologized as their face turned red and they handed you a napkin to wipe your phone with which you angrily took and stomped over once you were done.
A bunch of people were staring at you but you didn't care. You were feeling really shitty the whole week that you just exploded. You started walking faster out of rage. You just wanted to see your girlfriend with no problem, is that too much to ask?
. . . . .
You finally arrived and texted Shuhua you were there, wanting her to come meet you downstairs instead of you making your way to their dance studio since you were way too tired to move but, of course, Shuhua tells you to come up. "Babe at least say hi to the other members, I'm still gonna change clothes."
You groan but followed her anyways.
You took the elevator and walked down the hall you've been to before at least twice. It's been months since you last visited and so far nothing much has changed.
You reach their studio and hear their song "Oh My God" playing from outside the door. The song was about to come to an end when you knocked and decided to let yourself in.
You see Shuhua turn to look at you as she happily shouted, "Y/N is here!" You smiled softly and the song came to an end once you sat yourself down at the back of the room.
Everyone let out a breath of relief and Soyeon announced, "Good job you guys, let's take a break for 2 days. Hello Y/N." Soyeon smiled at you and went to her bag to wipe her face with her towel.
"Baby!" Shuhua ran to you and you panicked, seeing that she was all sweaty. You sigh and gave up as she hugged you tightly with the other members laughing at you both. "Shuhua, get off you're all sweaty, baby." You whine and try to pull her off your body but she doesn't let go.
"I missed you so much, you know?" Shuhua looked up at you and her face fell a bit seeing that you were a bit down. She held your face with her hand, "Baby, you okay?"
You gulped and shook her off and chuckled a bit before saying, "You're just sweaty, that's all." Shuhua laughed and pushed you. "I'll go change my top and we can go leave." Shuhua sat you down, telling you to wait. Minnie sat down next to you and gave you a smile that you returned.
You hear your girlfriend scream from across the room and you turn to see her and Soojin laughing hard at one another. You couldn't help but purse your lips at the two, the familiar feeling of annoyance slowly rising inside of you.
Shuhua started taking off her top in front of Soojin and you felt your eye twitch. "Shuhua." You called out before she could take off her top and she turns around to look at you, "Yes?"
You open your mouth to scold her but you shook your head instead. Shuhua looked at you funny and took off her top. You clench your jaw seeing Soojin's eyes wander as you look away. You liked Soojin and all but today was just a really fucked up day for you.
Shuhua changed into a black shirt and grabbed her bag before calling out to you, "Baby lets go!" You merely gave her a nod and started heading for the door without her which made Shuhua blink a few times as she felt a bit flustered.
. . . . .
The two of you settled for chinese food while Shuhua rambled on about her day as she mentions Soojin's name here and there. You didn't bother to listen once she started sharing about what she and Soojin were talking about.
Word after word about Soojin went through your ear and out the other until you finally got fed up and accidentally yelled, "Okay, I get it! Stop talking about Soojin as if she's the only one you see!"
Shuhua raised her eyebrows at you in shock, "Baby, what are you talking about? I was just explaining to you the concept of our new album." Shuhua said. Your face turned red from embarrassment as you realized what she said. You were really going crazy, imagining nonsense.
"Nevermind." You stuttered as you leaned your head on the table. Shuhua started smiling and brushed your hair through her fingers. "Is my babygirl jealous?" Shuhua teased while you sighed.
Shuhua laughed and you raised your head with a pout on your face. "I'm sorry for snapping at you, I don't know what got to me. This week was just really shitty." You leaned your head on her shoulder.
Shuhua rubbed your thigh in a comforting way, "Its okay baby, I understand. At least we can spend tomorrow and the day after with each other. Love you!" Shuhua grabbed your face and kissed your nose and you giggled.
. . . . .
You two were back at your apartment and the time read 7:03 pm. You were extremely exhausted and just wanted to sleep with your girlfriend cuddling you. "Baby, come join me." You call out to her as she ran in your bedroom and collapses next to you.
Shuhua giggled before turning off the lamp as she yawned. "Go to sleep babe," Shuhua said before hugging you and lifting her leg and placing it on top of your body. You smiled when you suddenly sneezed. You gasp which made Shuhua lift her head, "What's wrong babe?"
You immediately ran to the bathroom and Shuhua turned on the lamp. Shuhua sat on the bed with concern as she waited for you to exit the bathroom. "Baby, you okay in there?" She called.
You then exit the bathroom and said, "Baby I have my period."
