my new headcanon is that rudy gets diagnosed with celiac disease when he's 12 or 13 (one of his many many health issues and allergies) and when he tells louise that he's sad he cant eat at bob's burgers anymore bcuz the buns have gluten in them bob makes a special order for gluten free buns and stores them seperately so that rudy can always enjoy his burgers :) <- and anyone else who is gluten intolerant there's like a special sign that says "ask about our gluten free options!!"

Our school did not have any "home ec" equivalent.
I earned a Bachelor's Degree in Archaeological Studies.
After college, I finally landed my first "real job" (the kind that requires a W-2) based on my sewing skills alone (which I had never learned in any school setting).
Maybe this is a hot take, or maybe this is a super cold take, but
Home ec & Cooking classes are infinitely more valuable than any of the so called "core" high school classes.

Tumblr media
Old memories have a habit of slithering their way back into a person's mind, and even sometimes, people
The first few months at fhe hotel were a lot more enjoyable than you originally expected. Most days went relatively the same, Charlie would choose an activity to do and you would observe the progress they made.
At first, progress hadn't shown much promise but as everyone grew closer, things began to look up. Angel had gone clean with his drug abuse and was distancing himself from his line of work. Sir Pentious started to actually trust the people around him and has done no major constructional damage to any buildings as of late.
Everything was going so smoothly that, when you had woken up one morning to the sounds of screaming, running, and just general chaos. You thought everything was finaly going into the ground.
You quickly run down to the lobby, thoughts of what could be happening run through you. Did one of Pentious experiments fail and explode? Were we being attacked by one of the many gangs in town? Did Alastor decide the hotel was actually boring and started destroying it, starting with the occupants? Whatever it was, you hurry faster to the lobby.
But what was meeting you there was… unexpected to say the least. Party streamers, banners, cookies. It looked like some kind of welcome party heaven would do, albeit with less flare and taste in decor. A banner that read ‘Wellcum Daddy’ was being hung up by Razzle and Dazzle, everyone was either cleaning or baking something, and Vaggie seemed to be ordering them around.
You look at the clock, huh, it’s way too early for any kind of Charlie’s trust exercises. Not to mention, she would have told you about the curriculum and there was absolutely not a 10 AM home-EC class listed on your schedule.
You quickly run up to Charlie who seemed to be preoccupied with helping Vaggie put something up “Charlie, what’s going on?” You tap on her shoulder, She jumps a bit before just realizing it’s you,
”Oh- Y/N, I’m so sorry, I completely forgot to get you!” She apologizes when Vaggie pops in,
“Don’t be, I told Nifty to go wake you up, but looks like she had better things to do” she points over at Niffty swifty stabbing bugs and removing cobwebs out of habit
“It’s fine, just… what’s everyone doing, what’s with all the party supplies and sweets?” You say, arms to the festive lobby around you.
“Oh well…” she took a deep breath “you know that The deadline is fast approaching and while we’ve made progress it’s not much” she paused, trying to even brace herself for what’s coming out of her mouth, “I have asked… my dad to come over and hopefully get us a meeting with heaven” she stops, completely caved in on herself.
“Wait, so… your dad is coming here?” you thought about the times she had asked you to get them a meeting with heaven but you had already explained to her that it would be next to impossible for someone like you. You had to practically beg just to monitor the hotel
Charlie Picked herself back up and looked at you with a shakey demeanor, “Yeah In about… 55 minutes”
You blink a few times before giving a small chuckle “Well, would you look at the date! I think it’s time I used my 1-per-month trip back home! If you’ll excuse me-“
“Wait! No-“ she trips over herself “We need you here, if dad can see, not only the progress we’ve made, but also that we already have an angel supporter, there’s no way he could say no!”
“Charlie, I don’t think it’s a good idea-”
“PleasePleasePlease! I will pay you back, promise! But I- we could really use you there!” Her eyes looked at you, similar to a puppy. She hands clasped together In plea.
You looked away in thought. Seeing him again was the last thing you wanted to do at this moment, any moment for that matter. The last time…well to be honest, the whole exchange hadn’t meant anything to you in quite a while. He could say whatever he wanted about you… it was the words he had to say about Adam that kept your heart ablaze in anger at the Morningstar.
Trash? He should really look in the mirror before saying that about your Adam. But… this could be a good opportunity for the hotel -as much as it pained you to admit- You can only sigh, “fine.. for the hotel…” You let out a small chuckle raising your arm in defeat.
Charlie jumped up and down with glee, repeating a matra of ‘Thank You’s’ before continuing “I get it might be difficult since you’re an Angel.” She tries to give some comfort. But that caught your attention.
“Because I’m an Angel?” You honestly didn’t mean to say it out loud but it came out as a question.
She looks at you confused “yeah, you know, considering I don’t think angels have too kind of thoughts to my dad for being… the devil” she laughs nervously
Oh. Oh. So that’s what she means. So she doesn’t know about your past with him? Not too much a surprise, I doubt Lucifer would bring up any of his failures. But that also made you realize one other thing. Charlie doesn’t know about your marriage with Adam.
Look, you didn’t mean to keep it a secret. In fact you had already assumed they knew. I mean you were sitting literally right next to him and Vaggie already knew who you were. You just thought she would have told Charlie, but knowing this now… it may be best to keep it a secret.
You let out a quick “I understand.” and with that, you all went your separate ways, you did contribute to the decor the best you could, as well as helping Sir Pentious and Nifty with the baking until finally, it was time for Charlie’s dad to arrive.
You walked over to a more remote place in the hotel lobby, look… you may have to interact with him today but you will not be doing it that soon. Instead, you decided your best choice of action was to sit and watch quietly until Charlie decided it was time for you two to meet. And in the meantime, you can mentally brace yourself.
Charlie sighs deeply “Okay everybody, it’s showtime!”
With that she swings the door open revealing the one, the only (thank Father) king of hell himself, Lucifer. Immediately Lucifer pulls his, obviously nervous daughter into his arms. He greets her with excitement before moving on to Keekee, and eventually Razzle and Dazzle.
He eyes the room, clearly covering up any distain for the hotels “character” to protect Charlie’s feelings. At least until he got to the bar which even he couldn’t lie his way through.
Even from the distant view you were from, you could see Alastor and Lucifer weren't going to be the best of buds anytime soon. As soon as they were introduced to one another they immediately got into it. Huh, at least now you have something in common with Alastor at least! If that’s even a good thing.
Their quarrel lasted a few minutes, everyone either waiting for it to be over, completely ignoring it, or enjoying it as entertainment. It lasted what felt like an eternity and was only interrupted when a short and plump woman by the name of ‘Mimzy’ came into the scene.
The old time-y dressed woman was one of Alastor’s friends, you honestly didn’t think he had those but you digress. Eventually once the commotion dies down, you see Charlie give you a nervous smile and wave for you, ‘that’s my cue’ you thought. Anxiety still felt taught in your heart but still you pushed through.
You walk out of your hiding spot, walking up to be next to Charlie. Still trying to keep your presence hidden for as long as you could, savoring those last few moments of peace before a wave of interactions.
Charlie clears her throat and puts on a more professional demeanor despite her nervousness, getting the attention from her dad, “And last but certainly not least, i’d like you to meet our Angelic sponsor-“
“Y/N!?-“ the fallen Angel suddenly started coughing, clearly having choked on his own words. He clears his throat “Sorry! I just wasn’t expecting… you to be here” he lets out a chuckle.
“You guys know each other!?” Charlie looked shocked, her voice pitching up in bewilderment.
“We’ve… met before,.” Your voice was low, But still you pushed through “Though, it’s hardly relevant to anything of importance now. Isn’t that right, Morningstar?”
Lucifer's face contorted into an uncomfortable shaky smile, fingertips digging into his Apple-shaped cane. Perhaps he felt some type of remorse for the way things happened back all those years ago, but even if that’s true, you had no plans to forgive him.
He clears his throat “Yes it’s- unimportant Sweetie.. “
You 3 stand in awkward silence for a moment, all you can do is glare daggers at the short ex-Angel in front of you. Eventually though, you couldn’t stand the scilence any longer, “Well Charlie, I have to get something done in my room and I’ll be back to help with the tour in a few minutes, if that’s ok?”
Charlie looked like she wanted to protest, for you to stay with her through the tour, but she knew you wouldn’t just leave and not come back. “Um, yeah that’s fine! Me and Alastor can get the tour started and you can meet us around the 4th floor?”
You gave a quick nod as agreement and make your way to your room. Sighing, you flop down on your bed, feeling the soft warmth as you sink into comfort. Pulling out your phone, you quickly typing a text to Adam but your thumb simply hovered over the send button, anxiety washing over you. Your message was simple,
‘I promise that everything’s ok, but he’s here’’
You were hesitating, should you even tell him that he's here? You didn’t want to worry him over something so insignificant. He has a show tonight, he wouldn’t be at his best if he was constantly thinking you would be in the same room as the devil.
Or even worse, he could just cancel the show completely and march down here and a cause a ruckus which at best would completely destroy the Hotel’s plans and at worse… No, you can’t think of that.
You look at the message again before just setting your phone on your nightstand. 10 minutes… that’s all you need before you go back out there…
…Lucifer was having… let’s just say a tinsy bit of a bad day. Not only has he been forced to interact with that insufferable yellow-toothed sinner but also, he has been reunited with someone he hadn’t seen in a millenia, you.
The anxiety of the day was only topped off with the added stress of being with his daughter. Don’t get him wrong, he LOVES his daughter and is always happy to see her, but the way she talks and acts with these sinners… Ugh, it reminds him too much of himself back in the day.
Her hotel too… He may have given her the place but he never gave it much thought beyond it being a pipe dream for her. He was just trying to do something for his daughter, especially with… Lilith being out of the picture. He just wanted to cheer her up, and unfortunately it seems ‘grandiose plans’ run in the family.
Even now as Charlie and that Red haired Buck show him around, Charlie explains excitedly about different things they have at the hotel. It reminds Lucifer about how she was when she was little, that glow of joy never seemed to fade away from her despite the conditions she lives in.
But even still, as much as he’s trying not to zone out and actually listen to his daughters rambles, his mind keeps trailing back to one, singular thought. You.
What were you doing here? He knows you were there to ‘support the hotel’ as Charlie puts it. But this is the absolute first he’s hearing about it. Why wouldn’t heaven tell him that another Angel was down here, let alone, you most of all. The last time he saw you was… not the best first meeting
Were you here in secret? You clearly weren't fallen, considering you still had your halo and you didn’t look like you’ve been damaged anywhere close to what you’d be if you had fallen. Not to mention… Adam, the exterminations were his idea so why would you even consider an alternative when you are his-
“Uh, Dad?” Charlie interrupted Lucifer’s thoughts, a look of worry on her face. ”You’ve got a little bit of… horn? Sticking out”
Lucifer looks up and sees that he’s subconsciously beginning to phase into his full demon form. He quickly takes his hand and pats the horns as if he was just dusting off his coat, causing the horns to seem to fade away like dust. Wow, today really seems to be getting to him.
“Ah sorry Sweetie, it’s nothing just… uh..” He thinks for a moment, he has to talk to you alone, just for a second. “*Ahem* I was just realizing I had to… use the bathroom, I seem to have had one too many drinks on the way here. Can you tell me where the… bathroom is?” He lets out a chuckle to hopefully cover his lie.
“Oh, it’s just down the hall and to the right, I can take you there-“
Lucifer quickly lets out a loud ”No!“ Before clearing his through again “I can get there on my own, just wait here and I’ll be back!”
Before Charlie can even answer, Lucifer rushes through the halls of the hotel, yelling a ‘I’ll be back soon’ to his Daughter before turning the corner. He lets out a deep breath as he lays out the plan in his head. Figure out why you’re here, and get back to Charlie as fast as inhumanly possible.
Picking his feet up again, he makes his way to the lobby of the hotel, he looks around for a moment before spotting the check in desk. ‘They usually keep visitor information there, right?’
He quickly scours the desk, looking for any forms or documents that have your room number, before finally setting his eyes on your room number. It didn’t take long to find you seeing as there were such few occupants in the hotel.
He memorized your room and repeated it to himself while walking to your door. Past the first, 2nd, then finally, halfway through the hallway on the 3rd floor he finds it. Before he can knock, a sudden wave of worry floods his senses. Seriously, Why would he hesitate now?!
He shuffled around nervously, starting to doubt this little mission of his. Should he really be doing this? Is he really worried about you being here or is the real reason he came here because he wanted to… apologize to you? It’s true that the guilt of what happened all those years ago was still there. But… Digging up old memories just because he’s selfish and wants to apologize to you? He takes a deep breath.
He had to make things better or… at least get some things off his chest. So, with a heavy fist and an even heavier heart, he gently knocks on the hard wooden door…
This had been the longest 10 minutes of your life, trying to decide wether to send Adam the message, or to even return to tour with Charlie at all. As much as it pains you to say, you still become anxiety ridden when he’s in the room or even the mere mention of him. That spark of defiance you had in the lobby earlier being nothing but a small bit of courage. But you remembered that you had promised Charlie you’d be there for her, and you certainly weren’t one to take back a promise.
Before you could decide what to do, you hear an ever so faint knock on your door. Curiosity peaked, You thought Charlie was supposed to be waiting for you on the 4th floor? Had you taken too long and the tour went south? You quickly made your way to the door and hoped you wouldn’t see a very angry Charlie on the other side.
As the wooden-door creaked open, your face slowly turned bitter at The short, impish man who stood on the other side. Lucifer Morningstar. To be honest, you much would have preferred the angry Charlie, TWO very angry Charlies over this.
The man shuffled awkwardly in place, gripping his cane. Neither of you could break the silence . He avoided any eye-contact with you and even you couldn’t hide The disgusted expression on your face when looking at him. Finally after what feels like 3x the eternity you’ve lived thus far, you spoke In shaky words, ”What do you want?”
Lucifer pushed out his words as well as he could, meek they were, but you understood what he said “Can we please…talk?”
Your fingers gripped at the door, nails embedding into the wood, leaving scratches. It took all you had not to slam the door right in his face, but even if you had, it wouldn’t have solved any pressing issues. If anything, it might make him against Charlie’s idea with the hotel, which you couldn’t afford. You take a deep breath before letting out a quick but unsavory,
“5 minutes”
The short demon shuffles his way into the room as you follow in behind him, locking the door to prevent someone like Nifty or Charlie from walking in. Lucifer stands timidly by your nightstand as you stand on the complete opposite side of the room, facing him. Lucifer runs his neck as he lets out a shaky sigh “I just want to know what you’re doing here…” he pauses, he looks like he has more to say but decided not to.
You can only laugh to yourself “I’m here because I believe I think Charlie’s idea has potential to be great. The exterminations, they have to end… that’s why I’m here”
Lucifer seem a bit… surprised? Surprised with your stance on the exterminations. you figured he needed more than that so you continue “I… I’ve never been one for the exterminations. I've been against them from the start. I just didn't know what else to do. Nothing else seemed…right.“
He stayed silent, processing what you told him. He really didn’t understand you, he had a completely warped view of you. “If that’s all you wanted to know I’d rather you take your leave-“
“No!” You step back at the sudden raise in voice but he quickly clears his throat “No, there’s another thing. I would… I’d like to apologize to you about how things went… when we first met.”
You stared at him, the silence once again feeling the air. You didn’t dare break it, you watched as the impish man looked around with anxiety, trying to find the right words. “It’s always been there, in the back of my mind. How we- I, treated you. It was unacceptable… Lilith kept telling me to let it go, that she was done thinking about it, but I just couldn’t.” He takes a deep breath “so, I’m so sorry for hurting you, Y/n…”
Lucifer Morningstar. The man in front of you looked more akin to a puddle than a person at this point. Sweat dripped from his face, a scrunched mouth filled with a sour taste. He wasn’t looking at you, focusing his attention to the ground. Finally, after many long seconds later. You step forward, grabbing his attention.
“As much as I appreciate the apology, I don’t forgive you.” Lucifer began to speak or at least say he understood but no matter what his reaction was going to be, you interrupted him ‘“-I don’t forgive you, because I’m not the one who deserves it”
To that, Lucifer's head was struck with confusion, “what do you mean?” He tried to make sense of your words, shifting eyes looking around in unease before landing on a framed photo of a candlelit man, an old and forgotten, yet familiar smile on his face… ”You mean… Adam?” Despite his best efforts around you, saying the first man’s name still dripped his words with venom. That same sour taste filling his mouth at the mere mention of him. ”What does-” he stops himself, he knows why.
You breathe in slowly, “What you said to me, all of those years ago, hasn’t meant anything to me in a long time. I’ve gotten through it 10x over and finally understand that I am more than those words” you take another step towards him, closing the gap, “so… there's no use for your apology to me. But Adam… you’ve hurt him more than you couldn’t possibly imagine“
The room was filled with dense air, like any sudden move could kill the king of hell or even you at any second but still you continue. “Adam deserved so much better than what he was forced to have from you, so if anyone deserves your apology, it’s him.” He goes to speak but you shut him down again “but we all know that you are too prideful to do so, and Adam… he’s too stubborn to hear it”
You don’t yell, scream, all of your words coming soft from your lips “So… what you’re going to do, if you truly mean what you say. You will go back to your daughter, forget this conversation ever happened, then you can march back to your big castle with your Loving wife, and leave us be, for the rest of eternity.”
With that, you step away from him, words that have been bubbling inside you for centuries finally having been let out. It felt like several hundred pounds had been lifted off of you. You begin to walk to the door to let him out, wanting the conversation to be over, When you hear him speak a faint ”Ex-Wife actually”
You pause, your teeth already biting your tongue. Honestly, if you really thought about it, it was poetic. The Angel who ruined two marriages, leaving Adam nothing but a broken heart and baggage, ended up with a failed marriage himself.
But even still, you still felt a slight pain of pity for him. Through clenched teeth you let out ”I'm… sorry to hear that. It must be hard.”
This kind of thing, no matter the person, is always tough. You knew the aftermath of it through Adam, even now he struggles with so many issues from it. In that regard, you felt pity for the ruler of hell, but the rest of you felt… glad? Glad that he finally understands just a thorn of the pain he inflicted on Adam.
“The 5 minutes are up so… go now… please.” Your voice shakes near the end, your will power for everything you’ve done starting to break. Lucifer looked equally as defeated, you could tell he wanted to say more but he just nodded his head before walking out the door. slowly, silently, you close the door back before sliding down it as your legs give out.
You wanted to cry, scream, do anything but sit there, but you couldn’t. Your voice hurts from talking, your feet hurt from standing, everything just… hurts.
DING DING DING
A luminous yellow light follows the sound, you lifted your head and saw your phone on your nightstand. Adam… You used all of your strength to make it to your bed, practically having to crawl to avoid any more tiredness in your aching body. You finally land on the soft mattress to pick up your phone, seeing the plethora of messages from Adam.
DIXKMASTER69
Yo Bitch, everything good??
You’ve been typing for like 10 minutes
Answer me
Hellllloooooo??????
Oh, that’s why he was texting. You had completely forgotten your half written message you were debating on sending earlier. You start to delete it and rewrite it when suddenly,
INCOMING CALL FROM DIXKMASTER69
You sigh at the screen, your phone vibration sends chills through your aching arms, it acts as a lifeline for you not to fall asleep on the soft plush beneath you. You press the answer button.
‘Fuck Babe, finally! Are you ok?!” Adam’s voice sounded angry but you know he was just worried “you’ve been texting for like 15 minutes”
“Yeah, don’t worry Adam, I... must have fallen asleep while trying to message you”
“It’s 12 in the afternoon, you dont normally fall asleep in the middle of the day” Adam questions, his voice having obvious worry for you.
“Today’s just been very tiring. But I promise I’m fine, it’s just happened a lot today.” You hated lying to him, your other half, but you know this is something that he shouldn’t have to worry about.
You hear him groan, “how many times do I have to fuckin’ tell you not to overwork yourself for those sinners”
“I know, I’m sorry” you pause “I… I have to go now but I promise I’ll call you later, yeah?“
He was quiet on the other side before he lets out “Yeah, just don’t overdo yourself ok?” His voice was soft, no hint of sarcasm or anger, just him.
You let out a small breathy laugh “I promise. Have fun at your show tonight. Talk to you later, love you.”
“Love you too”
CLICK
You sigh to yourself, you still have the tour to do. It’s fine, everything is fine.
Tomorrow will be a better day. it has to be.

don't ask Rosalie Hale how she ended up in Home Economics II. she was supposed to be in shop class. sadly, the seats had filled up, and the waitlist had been too long. so, here she was. having endured Forks' rigorous educational system before, Rose could only assume Home Ec II's curriculum would involve learning how to dust knick-knacks, remove stains, and file your taxes.
but no. Rose walked into Building 3 only to find that Room 304 was not a classroom, but a kitchen.
Home Ec II was a cooking class.
and not only was Home Ec II a cooking class, but—Rose had discovered with horror as Edward smirked from the doorway—it was being taken by none other than her idiot brother's girlfriend.
by the bye, Bella Swan was nothing to Rose. the girl was plain, timid, awkward, clumsy—truly an embarrassing human being.
nevertheless, Edward had insisted Rose tolerate his girlfriend. fine. "tolerate" and "ignore" could mean the same thing.
but now, thanks to Home Ec II, tolerating Bella Swan had become impossible.
Rose tried to drop the class. not allowed. she tried to switch with Emmett. ("Aw, babe. I never get to take shop.") she could skip ten classes before becoming truant, but if she failed for poor attendance, the school would call Carlisle and Esme to discuss "remedial options." and god knows her siblings would spend the next several years cracking "dumb blonde" jokes. again.
long story short, Rose was in hell. not only did Bella Swan know her way around a kitchen (she was downright graceful when cooking; had her idiot brother never watched her make minestrone?), but Rose's condition made it impossible for her to cook with anyone else.
and Bella knew this. she seemed smug about it, too; Rose was sure Bella Swan smirked at the thought of a vampire baking cupcakes. she was downright giddy during the breadbaking unit, kneading the dough while going on and on about how "generations of humans before us have been doing this" and "we're connecting with our ancestors."
our. as if Rose hadn't been severed from her bloodline.
anyway, if being human was so fucking great, why did Bella insist on becoming a vampire? she got to bake her bread and eat it, too; wasn't that enough? why not put her cooking to good use? let her give to her friends, impress her dates, feed her children. better that than spending eternity stumbling through high-school cooking classes, oversalting pork chops, scorching the bottoms of chocolate chip cookies, baking loaves of bread she could never eat.
make no mistake: if Rose were human, she would be an excellent cook. she would make brownies every week and let her children lick the whisk. her husband would rave about Rosalie's chicken à la king at the men's club. so help her god, Rosalie would have been the perfect housewife. she could sew, clean, attend to her husband's needs... what did the Swan girl have? foccacia? big deal.
if the playing field were even, the score would tell all: Rose could be a better human than Bella, but Bella would never be a better vampire than Rose. all Bella was doing was wasting her potential.
maybe, if this were a story with a moral, Rosalie might discover that the Swan girl had redeeming qualities: quick on her feet, creative, forgiving, self-sacrificing, and responsible. Bella might discover (though never point out) that Rose's attitude was a reflection of her jealousy, and that humanity had its perks, after all.
but art imitates life. and life is a comedy.
"BABE! GUESS WHO SWITCHED CLASSES RIGHT BEFORE THE DEADLINE?"
as Bella's eyes lit up, and as she and Em scheme up a "molten lava cake that actually explodes," Rose realized: indeed, Home Ec II was to be her hell on earth.

I don't want to sound like a boomer or anything but as more and more AI gets implemented into every day tech I implore you to pay attention to what it's correcting and not let yourself become complacent and lazy in your relationship with writing and literacy. I don't care if you use it, if its correcting your grammar learn what its correcting so you might not need it as much next time, if you're asking Grammarly to word something politely or in a different tone pay attention to how it does that. If its summarizing something to you take the time to read the full thing as well and pay attention to any disparities or anything you might have missed. Reading and writing is so important, and I think it's great that some of this AI can give you access to resource to help you improve it, but you actually have to pay attention and learn. Functional illiteracy is already a problem, and this kind of tech is only going to make that worse if we let it.
In the US kids still in school are becoming more technologically illiterate because tech came out that made using it easier/more mindless and so they stopped being taught how to use literally anything else.
So many people struggle with media literacy because they decided English/Literature class was worthless and writing essays was stupid even though its entire purpose is to make you media literate and give you tools to think critically and then express your thoughts with accuracy.
Progress is great, its fantastic, but we need to engage with it mindfully. Consumerism became an American trademark and we lost Home Ec. classes. Why teach you to sew, or cook, or garden (all great life skills that EVERYONE needs) when they can get you to pay for it to be done for you. Nothing is allowed to be fixed because they want you to buy a whole new version. They trademarked parts and tech for machines so that the people who knew how to fix things couldn't do it without them and the access to that kind of knowledge has gotten scarcer.
Reading and writing is the foundation of communication and understanding in the modern world. They are some of the most important skills you could ever have, do not let our vampiric, productivity money focused shit show of a society take that from you. The ability to read and write revolutionized civilization. It was gatekept from the masses because it makes people powerful. It makes you harder to control. Do not let them take this from you, and absolutely do not give it up to them of your own free will.

You ask she usually never was late, she grabs ur hand and says "Heh my bad AJ helped me clean up the mess in home ec" You weren't surprised since she definitely didnt seem like the type of girl for home ec, you hear the whistle and you wait for Rainbow to leave the locker room as you both talk about what happened during the day your coach said you were playing volley ball and place you and dash on separate teams, Yous see your girlfriend smirk and walk up the the net and says to you "Your so going down babe, you know how I am with sports!!" You laugh and say "Are you sure about that??" And she look at you like your crazy "UH duh!! Just wait" Rainbow said not knowing she was gonna regret it
You and Dash were neck on neck with points and the game was about to end as Rainbow served the ball your teamate went for it and shot the ball in the air and you went to go spike the ball which landed on Rainbows side of the court as your team cheered you on Rainbows team groans in disappointment and you see Rainbow with a frown on her face and you Coach says "Alright girls head totally he lockerrooms before the bell rings!!"

She says with a pout and you laugh even more " Baby your being ridiculous it's just one game of volleyball it won't hurt your winning streak!" You exclaim as rainbow huffs finishing putting her skirt and you decide to mess with her and bring her hands to her sides "How about I give you a reward because your such a good sport?" Rainbow turns red and she looks away "--- W-what do you-" you cut her off with a kiss which she returns as she puts her hand on your neck her thumb on your jawline deepening the kiss you both fight for dominance and she eventually wins and she smirks in the kiss and snakes her other hand around your waist and breaks the kiss "I think I like the reward" She says and you blush even more she laughs and her mood was easily lifted and you both finish getting ready to head to see the others
You and rainbow were still red from just coming out of the steamy locker room and as you approached the girls they all begun to give knowing looks and giggle "What are you guys laughing at??" Rainbow asks and Sunset says "Some girls came by and saw you guys getting at it in the locker roooom~" She singsonged and you and Rainbow blush even harder "UHHH WE GOTTA GO SEE YA!!" Rainbow panics and she drags you to her motorcycle turning the engines and drives off and they were left laughing so hard years went by "What in tarnation!??" Applejack laughs

Mean and Meaner
(Part one)
Katsuki Bakugou is notoriously vicious, and just down right cruel in most circumstances. The class of 1-A had just started to grow accustomed to him, however, a certain turn of events changes the balance of the hero course students.
Training Arc spoilers, most likely differs from canon since its been a fat fucking minute since ive watched / read that early into the series + My writing is a bit rusty so my b 😨
Part two coming soon ! ! Requests open as well 😈
Tumblr media
Katsuki Bakugou was the epitome of anger, explosive behavior, even having a matching quirk. In the most blunt way possible, he was fucking mean.
Izuku, anyone close to him, and even anyone anywhere in a mile radius can testify for this fact.
If Katsuki is walking in the middle of the hallway, it's you who should move for him. If you somehow convince him to hang out or have a movie night, it's a given he's calling the shots and picking the movie. It doesn't matter whether you snap back, or are the embodiment of sweetness. He'll blast you into tomorrow at any verbal backlash, and kind words will be ignored if you're lucky.
Nevertheless, he was an integral part of UAs Hero Course. As loud, and brash as he was, he earned his way into the school, earning his spot at the very top of the entrance exams, and the sports festival. Despite how difficult it was starting out, and even though he'd never admit it, he'd made friends in 1-A, and stupidly enough, he thought, cared for his classmates.
That's probably how he got into this mess, is it not ? He trained vigorously, was absolutely naturally talented, bright as ever-- No logical explanation, even though he was there, being the victim of the crime, would make him understand how he ever got here. In a dingy, mildew ridden, room, tied and strapped to a chair. It was raggedy, and had an annoying scent of iron that wasn't even slowly, but definitely surely, driving him insane. This was nothing like the wealthier and more comforted parts of his or Dekus home. The change in atmosphere continued to unease him, despite how he'd stay firm in his angered stance.
Before he could let himself even acknowledge how uncomfortable it really all was, what he thought was going to be a second villain encounter, charged at him head on.
You, unwavering, glaring, and everything Katsuki deep down despised in himself, stomped up to him and pushed your finger into his unguarded chest.
"Hah?" He wasn't scared, not of a weakling like you. Youd just be another run of the mill villain, and despite how grim his chances were, no way in hell was he giving up. "Just who the fuck are you ?"
His confidence wavered for only heartbeat, when you just laughed right in his face.
How fucking rude.
"I could be asking you that. I thought the league captured people with potential. Not some dumb bitch who's still cuffed up and has his tail between his legs like a lost puppy stranded in the rain."
His jaw dropped a bit, but before he could even bite back, you just about ripped his throat out with tiger-like fangs.
"God. I was actually hoping I could have an escape buddy, not some hero wannabe. This is fucking embarrassing, im glad I never enrolled in those shitty, stuck up school. You're too busy learning how to wipe your ass to protect yourself when it comes down to it. Pa-the-tic."
He looked at you, shocked. For one of the only times in his life, Katsuki Bakugou was dumbfounded. He didnt even have the chance to attack before you basically clocked him. All of his insecurities and fears bubbling up.
Is this how Izuku felt ?
He was quick to snap out of it though, when he saw a familiar, snarky grin. Where he remembered it from, he was unsure.
"And who are you to be saying that ? You look about my age, so it's clear you're just a no brained drop out who had no other options but to be a fucking whore to some loser villain gang. You wouldn't stand a chance against the heroes."
There it was again, that grating, irritating laugh, that echoed throughout the damp room, and through each bone in his body. Hes not scared, is he ?
"God, you really ARE dumb." You genuinely laughed, usually finding amusement in how easy it was to tick people off, but this was just absurd. "You sure are jumpy, scared. Especially with conclusions. Your critical thinking skills are in desperate need of a first grade class, how'd you even graduate ?
He looked at you, growing more angry. If it weren't for the stupid binding, and the hope the heroes would find him before he had to take things into his own hands, he wouldve knocked the shit out of you yesterday.
"What do you mean, fuckface ? If you have something to say, just spit it out already. No one has time for your shit."
You scoffed. "Clearly the league does." Before he could accuse you of anything else, you pulled out a large cuffed hand locking device, in the metal, a name was carved in. "The league scouted me first, obviously thought I was stronger. More worthy than you." You stuck your tongue out, teasing him with salt in his wound. "Of course I don't have time for that bullshit. Both heroes and villains are way out of their fucking minds. They look like little kids tripping over themselves to play pretend." You looked him dead in his ruby red eyes, "You all need to grow up."
He was beyond pissed at this point, who the fuck did you think you were ? Just who were you ? Was that name yours ? No way you had a fucking custom made handcuff. Was it due to your strength ? How long have you been here ? What have you even been doing to get found by the League ? Who are you ?
Before he realized it, his boiling anger turned into an itching curiosity.
But over his dead fucking body would that be clear.
"Great, so you're a dumbass and delusional. What makes you think getting kidnapped is a compliment ? Did they take you from the fucking psych ward ? For everyone's sake you should be put back in."
You laughed, again. The way his words barely even effected you irritated him, the way youd easily bite back with something arguably even meaner, you irritated the fuck out of him.
"Then what is it, ready to accept the fact you're just that weak then ? If it's not a compliment, what is it ? A show of how gullible you "Heroes" are ? Nice fucking try."
The argument stopped there, but for the next few days, the bickering between you rarely ceases.
Occasionally, a league member will come in to shut you up, and re cuff you, scolding you for 'escaping.'
You, not even waiting for the villain to exit, but as soon as they turn your back to you, would unlock them with ease.
"If you can get out so easily, why dont you just fucking leave ? For someone who pretends to be so smart and strong, you really have a lack of self preservation."
"Hah, rich coming from you ! What are all those muscles for ? Can't break out of some chains ? Bet you're just a fatass pretending to be strong."
"HEY ! Fuckin watch whatcha say. I could get out quicker than you, kill every lowlife here, " He paused, looking you in the eyes as intimidatingly as he could, "Including you, and escape with time on my hands."
You laughed and punched his shoulder, slowly but surely getting closer and more annoying throughout the days. He hated to admit it, but your punches weren't light. They had a kick to them. It was a little relieving, knowing it wasn't just him and a dead weight.
"Okay, keep dreaming. And you say I'm the delusional one. If it weren't for some big shot hero school, you'd be applying for residential hospital services. Maybe we would've met there."
"Dont get fuckin sappy, the heroes are gonna be here soon, and ill be back to my life and forget you ever existed."
"God I fucking hope so."

Closer - Chapter 3
Stalker!Colin Gray x Reader (NSFW)
What was he supposed to do now?
Content Warning: Stalking, Blood
“Colin?”
Never before had his name sounded so chilling to hear, let alone from someone like you. In his mind, an exquisite woman like you was never meant to feel such fury. His heart pounded in his ears, so loud he could barely think a coherent thought. Sitting there, back against the wall with eyes terrified and holding your gaze, was the same guy you had shown the smallest of kindness to. He was watching you shower. The thought made you irate. A silent tension hung in the air for only a moment, but a moment that lasted lifetimes.
“I-I can explain,” Colin stuttered, putting his hands out as if surrendering. It didn't matter, now. You were past the point of mercy the second the thought to do this even crossed his mind.
“What the fuck are you doing in here!? Were you watching me shower, you fucking creep!?” Your words were harsh, cutting deeper than any blade ever could, blinded with rage as it all boiled to the top. When you saw the… evidence he had left behind, you went nuclear.
“It's not like that, I-” He tried to get a word in, but you bulldozed right over whatever he had to say. At that specific point of the timeline, there was not a thing he could say to make you any less livid than you were.
“GET THE FUCK OUT. YOU'RE DISGUSTING. I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN, YOU SKEEZE!” You shouted at the top of your lungs. There was a very real risk of someone overhearing this confrontation. Knowing such, Colin accepted his defeat and quickly made his exit from the locker room, tears in his eyes as he realized you, the center of his galaxy, now hated him. He ran off, back to his dark spot in the library while you cooled off in the locker room.
Sitting there, you felt the anger, the betrayal steam through your blood, burning like lava. How could he do that to you? After you had shown him nothing but kindness! You held yourself, still clad in only the towel, and felt your eyes well up with tears.
The body you were so proud of was no longer only yours to appreciate in its most natural being. Colin had taken that away from you. Who knows if he took any photos, which he most certainly did, or what he'd do with them if he had any. The answer to that, which you most certainly could've guessed, being a resounding “spank bank material.”
After some deep breaths and general calming down, you changed back into your regular clothes and sat with your emotions until the bell rang, dismissing you to your final class of the day. You decided to just try and not think about it as best you could and focus on other things.
To make things short, you failed.
All you could think about was every little sign over the last two years that you had somehow missed entirely. Poems he had written and read aloud to the class that were clearly about you. The times you'd bump into him when he just happened to have an extra bit of food from home ec. Dammit, how could you have been so naïve? You supposed he just didn't come off like the type of guy who would do that.
A chill swept over you as you remembered the dream you had last night of someone reaching into your open window. Given recent evidence, it seemed like maybe that dream was a bit more real than you would have initially cared to admit. Brushing that aside, the teacher called on you to answer a question, but because you were so distracted, you didn't hear it.
After a snide remark about “paying attention” and “focusing on the things that mattered,” you gave her a half-baked bullshit answer that she treated like a Nobel Award-winning response. Incredible.
With that lovely exchange done with, you let yourself get lost in your thoughts again.
It hurt because you cared…
•♤♡◇♧•
Tossing and turning, you could not quiet your brain enough to fall asleep. The memory of what happened earlier echoed as if you were still in that very room discovering you weren't alone. It was harrowing, hearing that groan just barely over the water hitting the tiled floors of the showers. Your stomach dropped and your mouth went dry. Your mind raced with what could have happened had you not caught him in time. Was he planning anything? Was he waiting for you to come out, unsuspecting? It left a bitter taste in your mouth, the whole thing.
So why were you so fucking turned on right now?
Sitting up in your bed, you couldn't deny the rush that came with the notion that he had chosen you to watch and had even touched himself to the sight of you. It was so wrong, so unbelievably wrong, but you'd have been lying to yourself if you said you weren't at least a little into it. What the hell were you supposed to do now? You told the poor pervert that you never wanted to see him again. It's not like you could just pop on over to his house to talk it over. What would you even say? Hey, sorry for snapping at you earlier and calling you a skeeze. Anyway, wanna bang? Ugh. No.
Pressing the palms of your hands over your eyes, you tried to settle your overactive mind. Even if it was late, you decided you needed some air.
Throwing on a hoodie, pulling on your shoes, and grabbing your phone, you slipped out of your window and down the lattice. A single lap around the block, that's what you told yourself you'd do. By the time you'd get back, you were sure you'd have figured everything out and be ready for a wonderful night's rest.
Flash forward to after that lap and you were back in front of your house, still stuck in this mental rut. Sitting on the curb, your phone in hand, you stared at his contact on your screen. One push of a button and you could talk to him. One push. That was it. Just a tap of the screen. No big deal, you did it hundreds of times before with other people. Why was it so difficult to do it this time?
Your stomach in knots, holding your breath and screwing your eyes shut, you did it. The phone dialed as you held it up to your ear, your hand shaking. Was he even awake at this hour? It was Friday, so maybe he'd still be up. After ringing for about three seconds, you heard him pick up.
“H-Hello..?” Colin's voice was small, hoarse. It sounded like he'd been crying. The guilt screamed in your mind like a banshee.
“Hey, Colin…” You started, taking a deep breath to relax a bit. “I… We need to talk. It's about what happened earlier,” You explained, an essence of defeat in your voice. You were very cruel to him, though justified, so it was a miracle he even answered the phone in the first place.
Silence lingered for just a second before Colin spoke again.
“You do?” He got down off the chair he was standing on.
“Yeah…” This was killing you. Hearing his voice was stirring up all sorts of mixed emotions in you. You couldn't do this over the phone. “Listen, is there any way we could… uh, meet?”
“...now?” Colin sounded slightly hopeful.
“Now,” You specified.
“Where?” You could hear him grabbing his keys. Shit, where could you meet? Definitely not in front of your house. Think, think…
“The old abandoned place just outside of town.” The answer rolled off your tongue before you could even give it proper consideration.
“I'll be there.” Colin confirmed, hanging up before you could say anything else. It was a good thing you parked your car in the driveway, today.
Sitting in your car waiting for Colin, you felt adrenaline coursing through your body. This was insane. You were meeting up with the guy who watched you shower and the nearest house was five minutes away. You were so excited.
With your fingers anxiously tapping on the wheel, you kept a close eye out for his car. Checking the time, you saw it was 12:37 am. Just as you had set your phone back down, there he was.
Colin pulled up, his lights low as he parked next to you in the grass just off the gravel driveway. Another deep breath, you got out of your car, as did he. The two of you stood face to face, a few feet of distance between you. Fuck, he was so hot. He looked so disheveled and pathetic.
“So… you wanted to talk?” Colin offered, scratching the back of his neck and fidgeting, unable to hold eye contact.
“Yeah. I wanted to tell you that… that I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said what I said.” He jolted with surprise, looking at you with bewilderment.
“You're sorry? If either of us is sorry, it's me. I had no business doing what I di-” You cut him off with your lips on his. Colin jumped back for a second before he realized what was happening. Against his better judgement, his resolve caved as he kissed you back, his eyes fluttering shut.
Wow, he was surprisingly good at this. Really good. You moaned into the kiss just a little as his hands, starved for you for so long, slid up your sides underneath your hoodie and shirt. Pulling him deeper into the kiss, you backed up against the hood of your car, your legs between his as he more or less had “pinned” you against the metal from about the knees down.
Running your hands through his hair and gripping it so tightly, he pulled away from your mouth, his lustful kisses moving down to your neck. You whined out softly as he nipped at the sensitive skin, his hands firmly holding your hips. Leaning your head to the side to grant him further access, his bites got more intense, more toothy. He sunk his teeth into you like a wild animal. You were so fucking wet.
“Colin-!” You whimpered, the very thing he'd wanted to hear from you for two years. Groaning against your neck, he continued to mark and bruise you. You knew it'd be impossible to hide those come tomorrow morning, but that was a problem for you in the future. He murmured your name into your skin, sending chills all over your body.
Colin tugged your hoodie off of you, shrugging off his own jacket and tossing them both onto the hood of your car. He learned at that moment that you slept braless. There was only one thing on his mind, and as he latched onto your breast, licking the hard bud through the thin cotton of your shirt, you learned what it was. Your breathing was frantic, not knowing what to do with yourself as he so tenderly made out with your tit. With his mouth on one, his hand firmly caressed the other, squeezing it gently and playing with it. You could feel his erection against your body as he pressed in closer to you.
“Lose the shirt. Please.” Colin whispered, his tone begging you as he looked up into your eyes. The moonlight made his eyes twinkle. Stripping yourself of your shirt, you bared your chest to him, only voluntarily, this time.
Colin said a silent thank you to the universe before pressing his lips to the soft flesh of your bosom with a passion. His hands snaked around your waist, settling at the small of your back as he ground into you, so horny that he thought he was going to explode. You were so caught up in all the new feelings striking you at once that you didn't even notice he too had taken off his shirt. There was light dusting of hair on his slender chest, but what appeared to be a forest that disappeared below his waistline. It kind of tickled a bit as he held you against him. Coming back up to kiss you on the lips, his tongue diving past yours, you were losing your mind at the bliss he made you feel.
You had no idea how much he had dreamed of this moment. Colin spent so long theorizing what it would be like the first time you two were able to get together that it didn't feel real. Part of him was scared he'd wake up to it all being a dream, but that fear quickly faded when you bit down on his lip, snagging his piercing slightly.
“Fuck, you're a dirty girl,” He purred, taking a moment to just admire how you looked right now. Your hair was slightly messed up, your face was flushed, and your eyes had a cloud of lust over them.
Your nerves lit ablaze as his hand slithered downwards and past your waistband, even daring to go inside your panties. Holding onto him for support, you felt his fingers tease at your folds. He was blown away by how wet you were because of him. That truly was an honor, in his book. Colin's fingers rubbed on your slit as he returned to making out with you, your tongues wrestling around once more as he played with your pussy. When he slipped a finger in, you let out a hum of satisfaction that got him high. When he slipped another finger in, you could only take the wait for so long before you looked him in the eye and breathlessly asked him to fuck you.
Situating yourselves, and your things, in the backseat of your car, Colin almost ripped the pants off of you and himself, so beyond ready to fulfill your needy request. His cock was so hard that it hurt. The view of you with your legs spread for him, that wanton look in your eye, made his head spin. Lining himself up carefully, Colin held your gaze as he slowly pushed in, and, inch by inch, buried his cock inside you.
Fuck.
Holy shit.
Fuck.
It was like fireworks going off inside of you, the feeling of his proud cock filling you up so decadently. You hooked your ankles together behind his back, grabbing his shoulders as you two stayed like that for a moment, getting used to the new yet delightful experience. You could feel his hot breath on your face, seeing the sweat form on his brow. He must have been as nervous as you were.
When he started to slip back out, only to rock back in over and over and over again, you couldn't see straight. There was no control over the noises that came out of your mouth. Noises that Colin wished he could record and make his ringtone. As he set a solid pace, your nails dug into his back, just like he'd hoped, only you weren't able to make him bleed like he wanted. That was ok, though, as he could settle for doing so to you, instead.
Biting hard on your shoulder, he heard you cry out, the pain such a sweet, electric pleasure. He bit hard and harder, hearing you whine and feeling you squirm, his hips still going steady as his balls slapped against your taint. Colin knew he was almost successful when you started muttering obscenities and scratching the fuck out of his back. When the familiar taste of copper hit his tongue once more in the same day, he knew he had struck gold. Despite the tears in your eyes, you were having the time of your life. The feeling of his tongue roaming over your vampire-like bite mark was chilling but in the best way. Colin relished being able to know you inside and out in multiple ways, particularly getting to make you bleed.
His hand, both of which had been on either side of your waist up until this point, reached to your passion-wound and swiped a finger over the bleeding, collecting some before telling you to open your mouth and make you suck his finger clean. You stared up at him, pure adoration in your eyes, as he gazed down with a twisted yet loving smile on his face.
Despite having held a very steady pace this whole time, his thrusts started to lose their rhythm, growing more erratic and desperate, his breathing quickening. As if he were a mind-reader, he started to feverishly rub his fingers over your clit, making your body tremble with the stimulation. Your eyes rolled back as you bit your lip. He was close and so were you.
“Please, Colin, fuck, I want it so bad-” Was all you could get out before everything burst so wonderfully. Your orgasm washed over you like a tsunami of bliss as your body convulsed and writhed in the sensation, your insides squeezing Colin's cock like a vice as he himself came soon after, dumping a load inside of you that almost made him blackout.
When all was said and done, you both got dressed and sat in the grass next to each other. You rested your head on his shoulder, his arms folded over his knees as he gazed out into the field across the street from the long-abandoned house. The scene was actually quite peaceful. The grasshoppers were chirping like usual for this time of year, the moon was nearly full, you estimated maybe a day or two, tops, and the fireflies popped in and out of sight as they flickered.
“So how long..?” You asked him, keeping your voice quiet so as to avoid sounding aggressive.
“Hm?” Colin asked, not quite understanding your vague question fully.
“Have you, y'know… liked me?” You clarified.
“Two years.” He answered plainly.
“TWO-” You caught yourself. “Two years?”
“Since we had Creative Writing together. The day you walked in, I thought I was hallucinating with how gorgeous you were. I could tell right away that you weren't like every other basic girl at that hellhole.” His words felt like a warm hug around you. Oh, wait, no, that was his actual arm that he had slung over your shoulders, holding you close to himself.
“Wow… I can't imagine what it must have felt like to keep those feelings secret for so long. I've had crushes before, but-” Colin interjected.
“No, not a ‘crush.’ I was- well, I am obsessed with you. The Police said it best, ‘every little thing you do is magic.’ The way you walk, the way you dress, the way you have with words, and how you speak… It's just all mesmerizing. I felt like a sailor being lured in by a siren; unable to escape the call.” You listened attentively to him, feeling your heart skip a beat at the romance in everything he was telling you.
“So, have you been-”
“Following you around practically everyday since the start of sophomore year? Pretty much.”
“Wow… I- wow…”
“Yeah…”
A pause between the both of you.
“I understand if it's too much…” Colin mumbled, worried you'd be freaked out by hearing all of this at once.
“Oh, not at all. Nobody has ever been so… devoted to me before. I can't lie, I'm kind of way into it.” You admitted, coming to terms with this revelation as you were saying it to him.
“Really?” He looked at you, eyes hopeful, again.
“Yeah,” You smiled, nuzzling into his shoulder.
“So, does this mean you want to be a… a couple?” His voice trailed off, poor thing. You giggled softly at how bashful he was, even after cumming inside of you.
“Not yet, but… I'd like to give us a try. Wouldn't you?”
Colin's heart swelled with joy; you could finally be his.
•♤♡◇♧•
Closer: A song by Nine Inch Nails, just over six minutes long, perfectly encapsulated the way Colin spent nearly every day with you. The school year had since ended, summer now in full swing, and neither of the two of you had left for college yet. Each day was filled with time you spent together, and the nights had many a sleepover. You made him so happy just by being there. You were his muse, his reason to be, his everything.
At least once a week, he'd drive you out to that abandoned house where it all truly began and treat you to a picnic of your favorite foods. It had become so routine that your parents never paid any mind to it anymore. Your parents loved him, by the way. Despite their initial aversion to his very alternative style, apparently your dad, when he was younger, listened to a lot of bands that Colin loves. Your mom made a joke about you inheriting her thing for “punk-rock guys,” to which Colin chuckled and you gagged, playfully, of course.
Colin had several sketches of you up on his wall, done from various angles, poses, outfits, etc. He just loved getting to immortalize your essence in charcoal and you did not mind his close attention. The way he spoke of your features while drawing you always made you blush. Sometimes more risqué, but usually just a comment about how he loved your smile or how pretty your eyes were.
It wasn't just the drawings, though. He was a man of literature, as well. The way you two would end most nights was with him sharing a new poem he had written about you, ranging from the joy he felt having you in his life, all the way to how he could eat you out for 24 consecutive hours and not grow bored even for a second during. What a charmer.
All things considered, you really couldn't have asked for things to go differently. This man was obsessed with you, and you were perfectly happy with that. He couldn't sleep unless you were with him, leading to a lot of nap-time dates that both of you adored. He would share his jewelry with you and vice versa. Once, you made him try on one of your dresses. He didn't think too much of it, just that he wouldn't choose that neckline for himself. However, you had to make him take it off before you pounced on him like a feral beast. Colin looked damn good in your clothes, but he thought you looked even better in his, which led to a lot of him lending you shirts and jackets under the guise of “keeping you warm,” even though he just liked seeing you in his threads.
This is all to say you were happy this kook was so consumed by you. He had been the wilting rose to your bleeding heart. The Gomez to your Morticia. The motherfucker with a bunch of eyeliner that swept you off your feet.
How lucky you were.
Fin.

White Knuckles and Red Hearts | Eddie Munson x Fem!Reader
Tumblr media
a cute little (I don't know what this work means, the fic is 3.9k words) oneshot for valentines day <3 IT STILL COUNTS BECAUSE ITS FEBRUARY
You had been paired together in Home Ec. You were making eclairs. Everyone else in your class sneered at him, hoping - praying - that they wouldn’t have to be in the same workspace as the freak of Hawkins High. Sure, you didn’t jump for joy when you met him in your designated kitchen space, but you gave him a warm smile and introduced yourself. From that moment on, your name rang through his mind like church bells. His hands shook when the two of you measured ingredients, but you quickly put him at ease with your effortless friendliness.
“So, eclairs huh… have you ever made them before?” You smiled over the metal bowl filled with various dry ingredients. 
“Ahh, can’t say I’ve had the pleasure. Don’t find a lot of fancy baking in the trailer park. But I did spend about 10 minutes in a French class before I was kicked out so I do know that it’s french.” Eddie jousted back with a dry laugh. 
“That’s where I knew you from! Your face looked so familiar to me!” You giggled. Eddie’s cheeks bloomed a glowing red. Your smile grew and you peeled your eyes away from him to form your choux. 
“You know, in French eclair means flash.” You babbled. Eddie could see your cheeks were turning a darker pink than the rouge already donning your apples. Eddie wanted to listen to you talk forever. “They say it’s because the glaze on the top of them… or because people eat them so quickly, they’re gone in a flash!” You both looked up and locked eyes. You suddenly felt shy. Stupid under the glow of the big brown doe eyes peering down at you. How the hell did anyone think that this person in front of you was a freak, was dangerous, wasn’t worth friends?
“Sorry, I’m babbling now.” You turned away to begin whipping cream while Eddie had begun to boil water.
“No, no! Babble away! You have interesting stories.” Eddie praised. 
The rest of the afternoon flew by as the two of you laughed, stole spoonfuls of chocolate, and filled your delicate pastries with sweet cream. The bell dismissing the students from their last period of the day startled the two of you out of your dream world. You handed Eddie the last bowl that needed to be put away and wiped your wet hands on your jeans. 
“Well, thanks for being a great home ec partner, Eddie. If we get to pick our people next time, we should work together again.” You smiled and squeezed his shoulder as you breezed past him to grab your backpack. You flashed him another smile and waved at the door. Eddie felt his knees buckle. You were beautiful; Eddie had noticed you at the beginning of the semester, in awe of how simple and easy you made beauty look. You weren’t popular by any means, but as a member of the drama club, you had a great group of friends. Eddie couldn’t imagine why you would want anything to do with him.
DnD wasn’t the same; Eddie’s mind was not fully immersed in the world he had created. Usually charismatic and intense, he was tripping on words, forgetting important details he had set up last session. His mind was transfixed on you. God, he felt pathetic. You were the first girl that wasn’t in Hellfire or wasn’t trying to get free weed from him to be nice to you. Was that all this was? Was he that pathetic that he was going to fall in love with any girl who was nice to him? Surely not. You were different. Not every girl had glowing eyes like you did; nor did they have such a friendly smile, and the slightest dusting of freckles across their cheeks like yours. They didn’t genuinely laugh at his jokes or touched his arm like you did. You weren’t petty or rude or hung out with him as a joke or-
“Dude!” A squeaky voice rang out, interrupting his daydreams of your interactions. “I rolled a 16 does that hit or not?!” Dustin Henderson was not a patient person on a normal day, but now, the third time he had to snap Eddie out of whatever coma he was in, he was rapidly growing angrier by the second.
“Uh- yeah.. How many hit points does it take?” Eddie mumbled. 
Within 25 minutes, the whole Hellfire party had surrendered to their DM, ending the session 40 minutes before their scheduled end. With a frustrated huff, the gaggle of high schoolers exited the stuffy prop room and into the dim hallways. 
February rain was not uncommon in Hawkins. It had caught you off guard though. In typical midwest fashion, the morning had started out mild and sunny. Now, at 5:45 when you were attempting to flee the grip of Hawkins High and make the 10 minute walk to the comfort of your own home, you were met with sleet and rain. You paused at the thick glass doors keeping you warm and dry and let out a long sigh that clouded the vision in front of you. You shrugged your shoulders and pushed through the doors into the cold, wet parking lot. You were kept warm by the thought of seeing an outlandish metalhead in the morning. You had to admit, you had been scared by Eddie Munson. His hard shell deterred many people away, but when you were given the opportunity to get to know him today, you penetrated right through to his soft center. You had to stay after school to direct for the one act festival next month, but like Eddie, your mind was transfixed on your home ec partner. You replayed your conversations in your head as you headed to the main street that dissected the community of little houses and the high school field. You shivered into your jean jacket, cursing the fact that your fashion choices weren’t practical at all for a rainstorm in February. Your eyes stayed glued to the pavement in fear that your face would freeze solid if you looked against the wind. Your hair stuck to the sides of your cheeks. You moved your legs as fast as they would carry you.
Eddie jogged out to his van, now covered in frosted rain drops. The short jaunt already had made his hair heavy with moisture and left a shiver in his spine. His engine lazily sputtered to life and he tore out of the school’s parking lot. He couldn’t wait to get home to pick up his guitar and write you forbidden love songs you would never hear. His headlights pelted through the thick, icy rain. God it was miserable. As he rounded the corner of yet another sleepy avenue, he slowed his van and pulled to the side of the road. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief as he stared at your hunched over figure fighting through the storm (and very obviously losing). He pulled his rusted van over to the sidewalk just ahead of where you were trudging. You stopped and squinted towards the rusty Chevrolet Astro and the curly haired driver that was looking at you with his beautiful, yet worried, eyes. You could see Eddie’s tongue poke out of his mouth as he reached over to the passenger side of his van to unlatch the door. 
“Hey, Y/N! Are you okay?” The boy had to yell to be heard over the pelting rain and the rattle of his exhaust pipe. “Do you need a lift?”
Your heartbeat quickened and your cheeks grew warm. You smiled at him sweetly. “It’s okay, Eddie. It's only a few more blocks to my house.”
“Are you sure? It’s terrible outside. I really don’t mind!” You paused in contemplation. Did you know Eddie well enough to get into his van? Most of your friends would say no, but you felt like you’d known him for a long time. You felt safe around him. So you shrugged your shoulders and hopped into his van with a small ‘thank you’ leaving your lips. A sudden wave of bashfulness hit you after you gave Eddie approximate direction to your house. 
“I-I usually just walk, you know? It was so nice this morning, but…” you ended in a curt giggle, and you couldn’t help but shake your head in embarrassment. It made Eddie’s dimples sprout on each of his cheeks, like you had seen for the first time this afternoon. 
“Well a pretty girl like you shouldn’t be walking at all! Let alone in weather like this!” Fuck. His lips moved before his brain could catch up and stop him. His eyes grew double in size and it was his turn for his cheeks to turn a bold red. “Sorry I didn’t mean- I mean-”
“It's okay Eddie.” You turned your head away from him to stifle your grin. “I appreciate the ride”
It felt like no time before Eddie pulled up to your house.
“Thank you again, so much for the ride. That was so sweet of you.” That damned shoulder touch again. The warmth from the hand around his jean jacketed shoulder sent molten lava straight to his heart. 
“Hey,” he choked. He ravaged his cluttered console for an old napkin and a sharpie. He hastily scribbled his digits on the napkin and shoved it towards you, eyes glued to his knees. 
“Here, take this, just in case you get caught in this shit weather again.” He didn’t feel your fingers take the paper. He peered up at you, cheeks bright red and brown eyes bright with rejection already. “You know, I just-I don’t mind driving you, you know? It’s strictly just-” He was interrupted by your soft hand around his wrist.
“Eddie” you cooed as you took the wrinkled paper from his hand. “You are the sweetest. Of course I’ll take it. I really appreciate it.” Your eyes locked with him and you felt electricity surge from him to you. You released your grip with a blush and backed away from his van.
“Maybe I can call you about some home ec homework too?” Eddie thought his chest was going to burst out of his chest. 
“Y-yeah, doll. That would be great.”
He watched to make sure you got into your house, and left only when you flashed him a smile and wave from your door. He drove home smitten, still smelling your perfume, feeling your warmth from the empty seat beside him. Blissful giggles escaped his lips. 
-
The shrill ring of the telephone startled Eddie out of his daze and brushed through the cloud in his room to the hallway. He picked up the phone and answered with a lazy ‘hey’. His throat closed when he heard your voice peep on the other end of the line. \
“Hey, Eddie. I-is this a bad time?” Yes. Eddie thought. He was just starting to feel his buzz, now he felt like he was going to have a heart attack.
“No! No not at all! What’s up, Y/N?” His baritone voice went straight to the butterflies in your stomach. You took a deep breath to ground yourself. You could hardly believe what he was doing to you. Yesterday, Eddie was a stranger to you, someone that was interesting to look at, but you hadn’t dared interact with him - he was too cool for you. 
“I-I’m so sorry to ask this… but I think I left my history textbook in your van from this afternoon. I am so sorry but is there any way I can come pick it up or you could-”
“Oh! Yeah I will bring it to you, no problem!” Eddie choked. Your stomach sank in excitement.
“Oh, great, thank you so much!”
“I’ll be there in 10” Eddie hung up the phone before you could let out another apologetic thank you. You bit at your nails in selfish excitement. 
Eddie raced through the darkening streets of Hawkins. He remembered where you lived like the back of his hand: past the school three blocks, to the left, then take a right and you were almost at the end of the street. Luckily the storm  His headlights pulled up to the sidewalk in front of your house, like he did earlier that afternoon. To his surprise, he saw the upstairs window on the second floor illuminated with your excited figure. You sheepishly slid the window open and crawled through it and shimmied down the ivied siding. You trotted up to Eddie’s unrolled passenger window. 
“Hey, Eddie. Thank you so much!”
“No problem. Front door broken?” Eddie chuckled. 
“Nah, strict parents make for sneaky kids.” You wagged your eyebrows at him. You boldly opened his passenger door and snaked into the seat. Eddie’s cheeks grew warm with yours as your bodies were now closer (but not as close as you both craved). He sheepishly handed you your textbook, which you pulled to your chest.
“Thanks, Eddie.” you peeped. A sudden burst of courage hit you, and although your hands felt numb, you took a breath and let the words escape your mouth. “I need to tell you, I don’t think that you’re crazy and weird like people say.” You dared to look into his soft, dark eyes. “I think you’re really sweet, and funny. And it really sucks that Hawkins is too small minded to see how great you are.” You leaned over and gave him a sweet peck on the cheek before hopping out of the passenger seat. Eddie wanted to pull you back to him, to grab your face and press his lips to yours; but he was frozen in shock. He would have never imagined you ever wanting to talk to him again, let alone thinking he was a good guy AND pressing your perfect pout to his cheek?
“Thank you again, Eddie, for driving all the way over here. I’ll see you tomorrow?”
He mustered up the strength to break out of his daze. “Yeah, doll. I’ll see you then”
With silent smiles, Eddie watched you retreat back up the siding of your house back through your window, pausing to look back at him. 
Eddie drove home with a smile plastered to his face. 
-
The second week of February was filled with stolen glances in the busy hallways of Hawkins High. Your home economics classes flew by, papers being graffitied with notes and doodles passed between the two of you. Your dreams were filled with Eddie. Every second or third comment to your regular grouping of lunch buddies was something that the metalhead said or did or comments that reminded you of him; But you didn’t dare disturb him and his gaggle of Hellfire-clad freshmen; just like he knew he would warrant a death wish by coming to speak to you and your friends. So, you kept your little slice of heaven to blushing smiles, secret notes, and your home ec class.
When the two of you both found yourselves at school late (which both of you were finding more excuses, Eddie would offer to drive you home. You would sheepishly follow him through the parking lot and take (what Eddie will now permanently hope is) your spot in his rusty van. You were scared to admit it to Eddie, but it was easy for your own revelation: Eddie was very quickly becoming your comfort person.
February 14th was usually a day that reaffirmed that Eddie was destined for a life of loneliness in Hawkins, Indiana. Until, he pried open his overfull locker and was greeted with a small green note with his name neatly printed on it. 
“Eddie. Thank you for being such a great person to be around. I hope you have a great day - just like the rest. You deserve them.”
Under the message, your name sat with a small heart scribbled next to it. Eddie’s cheeks burnt a furious red. His big brown eyes scanned the hallway desperately, hoping to spot your bouncy curls, or hear your infectious laugh; but to no avail. He trudged through the halls. He strode up to Chrissy Cunningham and her gaggle of cheerleaders - your normal crowd.
“Hey Chrissy.”
“Oh- uh, Eddie?” The metalhead could tell that he had caught the girl off guard.
“Sorry, don’t mean to bother you in your natural habitat” the girls shifted uneasily. “But do you know where Y/N is? I need to talk to her… about home ec homework.” He wavered over his lie, and Chrissy caught the note grasped tightly in his hand. 
“I haven’t seen her yet today.” The girl gave a polite but curt answer. The group dissipated, but Chrissy offered a light touch on his shoulder. “When I see her, I’ll let her know you need to talk to her.” With her words ringing in his ear, and the shrill warning of the morning bell, Eddie was alone in the hallway with his lovestruck mind. He decided to do what he did every time he was in crisis: go to the bleachers and make himself forget about all the shit that was worrying him. He spent the morning outside, but by the end of the day Eddie had spent his time either thinking about you, or tracing every inch of the school looking for you.
You had stayed home, school feeling less than ideal today. You had stuffed the note in Eddie’s locker at the end of the day - opting to stay even later than he did and walked yourself home. You didn’t sleep all night, and could barely get any food down today. Would he understand? You were only bold enough to make a move in subtleties. Would he care? 
Eddie gripped his steering wheel with white knuckles. It was a drive that he wished was both over already and would never end. It was a short drive to your house from Forest Hills Trailer Park. Eddie had called Hellfire off and beelined out of the school when he found out you hadn’t shown up at all. He felt he had paced a trench in his bedroom floor debating whether or not he should go to your house. What if the letter was a mistake? Or if you were only reaffirming you only liked him as a friend? When the clock hit 9:30pm, he couldn’t take it anymore. He grabbed his keys from the hook by the door and trotted down the concrete steps. When the van rumbled to a start, he turned the radio fully off, too tempted to be absorbed in his own thoughts. The streetlights of your neighborhood illuminated the small red heart box and the humble bouquet of roses that sat where you normally did. Eddie chewed on his lip so hard he thought he tasted blood. His brakes squealed to a halt on the sidewalk outside of your tidy little house. He had hoped that the light in your bedroom would be off, so he could wimp out and go home and hide in his bed forever. But his heart skipped an excited beat when he saw the light in the window you had crawled out of a week ago was on, and it illuminated your figure moving through your room.His breath caught in his throat as he turned the key in his ignition and grabbed his wares to begin his journey up the ivy siding to your window. 
-
You had hid yourself away in your room - cassettes, VCRs and books being your welcome distraction from your anxious heart. A tap on your window pulled you from Madonna’s breathy whines about living in a material world. Your heart dropped to your knees when you saw a mop of dark ringlets framing an alabaster face. Eddie’s eyes were wider than you have ever seen them, but filled with an unreadable haze. You rushed to the window and let the boy fall into your room. He straightened himself up with a nervous smile, you returned the sentiment. His hands stayed fixed behind his long body. He shifted his weight, but couldn’t help but inch closer to you as well. 
“Hey” he peeped
“Hi, Eddie. What are you-”
“I-uh. I got your note.”
Your breath hitched and it was your turn to shift your weight. The spot on your carpet was suddenly too tempting to look at than Eddie’s face. His hands obscured his vision. In them you saw a small red box, and flowers. You looked up at Eddie with confused excitement; his face was warm, cheeks blushing. 
“I looked for you all day at school today because I wanted to ask you if you’d be my-”
Before he could finish his sentence, you threw yourself into his arms. Your cheek could feel the pounding in his chest and he stood in shock. 
“Of course I will, Eddie.” You breathed into him. You pulled yourself away from him and took the flowers from his hand. You placed them on your desk with a giggle. You turned to see the open box that Eddie had in his hand. In it laid a small chain with a pink and purple guitar pick. You gasped in awe and your eyes filled with tears. 
“I thought, since I have one-” he pulled a red and black pick on a chain out of his Dio tee. “We could kind of match.” Eddie’s voice shook. His cheeks matched the red on his own necklace. You pulled him to you and pecked your plumped lips against his cheek. Eddie chuckled as he spun you to put your new favorite piece of jewelry on you. Eddie clasped the metal and ran his hands down your arms. 
“Let me take you on a date, please?” He whispered. His hands sent shivers throughout your body. His lips pursed on the top of your head and you wished you could stay in this moment forever. You turned in his arms and draped yourself around his neck. His arms migrated from your arms to your cheeks. His doe eyes were dark with admiration, he wanted to devour you whole, but he waited, silently asking for permission to press his lips to yours. You silently obliged him and tilted your chin up to him. His soft lips met yours and the world slowed. His thumb traced small grounding circles on your jaw. Your insides filled with molten, a desperation for the moment to never stop. Eddie’s soft lips probed yours, lightly asking for permission to deepen your kiss. You permitted him with a content sigh and let Eddie show you just how much he really cared about you. All of the words he was too afraid to say to you, all of the times he wished that he could sweep you off your feet and kiss you in front of everyone. For the thank you he couldn’t give you for the note you left him. For the times he wanted to ask you out in his van, or the time he desperately wanted to tuck your wet hair behind your ear the first day he drove you home. He poured all his heart out to you and you felt it. You pulled away softly with wet eyes. 
“Eddie, I would be honored.”

How The Fuck Do Classes At Aguefort Work
AKA Brennan gave me a number of students for this school and I am going to use my expert knowledge of being a teacher in real life to extrapolate things
(disclaimer: i am australian and thus my knowledge is limited to the australian school system of how things are arranged, number of students in each class, etc. this is basically how I would organise aguefort if it were up to me)

aguefort has approximately 500 students split across four year levels, making for about 125 per year level, which you could easily split into 5 'homeroom' classes of about 25 students each. Or 31-32 if you wanted to squish them into 4.
But the thing is, we have all the DND Classes to think about, with each class having its own dedicated teacher and specialist class. There are 12 standard dnd subclasses, plus we know that artificer is also an option, making 13.
It's unlikely that any particular year level has all of its students evenly split between those classes (it would be an average of 9-10 per class if they did, which is quite small for a single class, but not unheard of for (using a real life example) elective subjects like business or design tech)
ADDITIONALLY, we do know that 'regular' classes exist at aguefort, like history and home ec, so I'm assuming other typical subjects like maths, english, science (perhaps broken down into chem/bio/physics, maybe not), maybe PE as well for students that aren't part of one of the martial classes, among other things.
Most likely, the school day is arranged so that each student (assuming this student has a typical workload, AKA nothing absolutely bonkers like what the bad kids are doing in junior year) has at least one Class-Specific class per day, and then some general education ones as well, and then perhaps some more adventuring-focused classes like survival + archery or arcana.
That way each class-specific teacher should be able to fit one lesson with each year level a day, because those classes are probably considered far more important than like. Modern History.
DND-Class classes are likely much smaller and more individualised, and then general ed classes would be with a far bigger group.
I also think Aguefort has a lot of composite classes! Particularly for the less popular Dnd-Classes. Freshman+Sophomores together and then Juniors+Seniors together is probably the most common.
I think sorcery classes are often composites, partly because its one that students Literally have to be born to be able to do, so its not one that other students can multiclass Into, so its numbers probably fluctuate a bunch depending on the cohort.
More technical classes like artificer are probably also composites! Simply because I bet they're less popular than things like Fighters, Rogues, so on.
Bards are also absolutely composites, because they are already split within themselves with multiple teachers depending on the students particular focus (like we did with a separate Music class and Dance class with different bard teachers). So I wouldn't be surprised if some bard classes contain freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors all within the one class and still only have like, ten students total because they're that specialised.
I think combined classes also probably happen on a fairly regular basis. Esp if like, teachers call in sick. The fighters will go join the barbarians for a day, or the clerics will join the paladins.
And then of course they don't actually give a shit if you show up to your classes or not so theres probably some poor admin staff out there who painstakingly arranges every schedule at the start of each semester and then 80% of students ignore half of it anyway
