Polyamory in lore olympus
okay! so you know how I'm a desperate bitch for poly rep... guess I needed to add the word good in front of that cause this shit isn't it.
So one thing that I just need to say.. is I'm confused where the fuck rs is doing her research, cause a polyamorous 'pod' isn't a very common term and has the exact same meaning as polycule. Cause rs has proven to not be one to actually do alot of research, so it feels weird that she used a term like that.
Tumblr media
Now another thing is that Poseidon wasn't polyamorous before... I could only really find two thing that point towards that. The first being a joke about him looking a second wife.. which in context is clearly just him using it to edge on hades... and it's never mentioned again.
Tumblr media
That and the end of season 2, with the one panel of a bunch of people including Amphitrite hugging Poseidon... I assumed this was just his children. I really don't dislike Poseidon being poly I think it could've been really good rep but rs either did have him being poly since the beginning and just never actually put any thought or time into saying it... or added it after the fact to lampshade and earn more points for being inclusive.
Tumblr media
You know what.. it may be the first... but given that we have Persephone saying the identical line as leuce.. and Hades just.. didn't correct her? like come on hades I know your a horny fucker but also Poseidon is now someone whos being actively bigoted against whenever someone saying he's a cheater.. and you don't stand up for him if the person is making you horny? Also it just retroactively makes all the bitching that hades does about his brother cheating gross... cause hades is now basically blaming Poseidon for how OTHER people wrongfully view his poly relationships.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now something that just really piss me off.. is that this is being confirmed by hades just saying he's poly.. besides one panel of him hugging his partners, we haven't actually seen him being polyamorous. Why was does he still only have one wife, why haven't we seen any of these other partners... and why aren't we learning this from Poseidon himself.
It just... annoys me, am I supposed to applaud at the fact that hades said the word polyamous? We just have Poseidon, Amphitrite and then bunch of nameless and basically faceless people... it just feels so half assed. You just had a wedding scenes.. have Poseidon and his partners be together during that.. have him mention his partners while they did the dumb best man bit. Like have us learn that Poseidon picked hades as his best man over zeus multiple times.. that would be a sort of funny way to learn about it.
Just a little bit more... it wouldn't be that difficult. It really fucking hurt when you have like four separate hetero-normative monogamous relationships that you give so much time and thought into but any level of queer relationship is completely fucking ignored. It's so fucking clear that these are just here to make this comic look more progressive when it just fucking isn't.
Like rs you went out of your way to make Athena and Hestia gay and then just never actually did anything with it... And now Poseidon is the same. You have multiple kinda unnecessary chapters learning about how Aphrodite and Hephaestus got together just so we can have the name drop of Kassandra really... But you don't have at least one chapter actually about either of the queer relationships in this comic.
Also I just think it's important to talk about Zeus with this. I've seen alot of fans say that Zeus is polyamorous because hes a serial cheater.. which is just a wonderful unproblematic stereotype/s. While I don't see as much of that directed at poseiden... he's very much repeatedly labeled as a cheater by the story, so again either rs planned for him to be a poly character and decided it would be... funny? if he was unchallengedly called a cheater repeatedly.. or again Rs retroactively made all the characters that call him a cheater just assholes and also decided it would be best to pick a cheater to be the polyam character.
This really just leaves a bad taste in my mouth, cause polyamorous people have so little representation and most of it is pretty shitty or stereotypical and lore olympus a story so focused on monogamous romances had a great chance to actually make something good... christ one chapter of just Poseiden and his relationship could be enough to make it good. Instead we have a character repeatedly labeled a cheater and then have someone else tell us he's actually poly.

Author Note: Well. A phatt 85% of you voted for me to flip the story and here you go. I actually LOVE how this series is taking a drastic turn. But just so we’re all on the same page. There is NO HAPPY ENDING. (Also shut the fuck up I’m still on a break)
Series Masterlist
Tumblr media
(Naval Hospital– Jacksonville, Florida. – Present Day)
Bradley Bradshaw had never been good with hospitals. His therapist had told him once that his ever growing hatred towards the far too sterile environment was due to the fact both his mother and father had passed away in hospital beds surrounded by doctors and nurses who he couldn't really give a shit about enough to remember there names.
But here he was, walking down the hall towards room one hundred and nine of the intensive care unit at the Naval hospital in Jacksonville, Florida. Bradley carried two takeaway coffees, one in each hand as nurses who had become all too familiar with the mustache-clad aviator smiled politely and sent him solemn looks of hopefulness that today might very well be the day. But he knows it's just something they’re taught in medical school. Compassion. Empathy for the friends and family members of the loved ones laying near dead, dying or recovering. Bradley didn't know what category to put Jake Seresin in at the moment, they hadnt really been all that chummy prior to the accident. Not friends nor foes. Just long-term acquaintances who loved you both dearly.
Bradley Bradshaw had known you for his entire life, uncle Sliders kid. The military brat with the heart of gold, thousand watt smile and even bigger attitude. It's probably what drew you and Jake Seresin together. That all too similar attitude and love for a good taunt. Rooster always did catch himself wondering what you saw in him, but then again, beauty was forever in the eye of the beholder. 
“Hey, sorry–the line was crazy today.” Bradley cooed as he knocked with one knuckle on the door that had been slightly ajar. Stepping in, the steady beeping of Jake's heart rate monitor filled the room. “How's he been?” 
“No change–” Was all you mumbled as you looked up from watching Jake breath with assistance to reach out for your coffee order Bradley had had the chance to remember off by heart. “You just missed the Doc.” Bradley could tell just how tired you were just by the way your eyes looked sunken, he knew you weren't sleeping, weren’t eating. He knew that you hadn’t left Jake's side since he was brought into his room. “She said that there's definitely brain activity going on–said he must be dreaming.” You smiled at the thought, you hoped whatever Jake was dreaming of was a hell of alot better than what he would wake up to. “The swellings gone down quite a bit, but it’s just up to him if he wants to fight to come back.”
Bradley moved across the room, grabbing the chair that sat empty in the corner of the room to drag it over to where you sat at your fiance's beside. Like every time he came to visit, he sat with a sigh, leaned into where you sat and kissed your cheek softly, a reassurance he was here for you. 
“Sounds promising.” Bradley pressed his lips together before he took a sip of his coffee, watching as you did the same. “Dice, you look like crap.” 
“I'm gonna let you get away with that one purely because I feel like crap.” You chuckled softly, but it had been just enough to coax the corner of your mouth into a curve. Oh how Bradley missed the sound of your laugh, you were one of his closest friends. Seeing you hurt and struggling through such a crisis made his heart ache worse than he ever imagined it could. From what Rooster could remember of his parents love, they set such a high standard Bradley didn’t know if he’d ever have a chance of replicating—he thought if anything he’d get to live long enough to live vicariously through your love for Jake and watch you thrive in some fairytale life with Hangman that he’d be happy enough with that. But that all seemed so up in the air now.
But here you both sat, watching Jake ‘Hangman’ Seresin breathe assisted with tubes of all kinds shoved down his throat. Barely recognisable from the swelling, the cuts, stitches and bruises that littered his face. You could tell he was still your Jake though. 
“If you wanna go home, get some rest? I can stay here with him for as long as you need.” Bradley knew what the answer was going to be before you even shook your head. Letting your gaze linger back on the gentle rise and fall of Jake's chest. 
“No thanks, I wouldn’t want to miss anything—“ It was hard not to cry, but as you tried to coax your fiancé to come back to you? The tears just fell so effortlessly. “He knows I’m here.” 
You carried far too much guilt on your own shoulders for what happened. Jake, although an amazing partner—was an even better wingman. He’d come after you when things got a little too out of control during a recent detachment. He’d saved your life and sacrificed his own. When you’d both been brought back to Florida of all places—You’d asked one of the nurses to contact Bradley for you, he’d been on some carrier somewhere in the middle of the ocean—but he pulled whatever strings he could to get back to you. 
“Jake would want you to take care of yourself if anything Dice, he loves you so much.” Bradley placed a hand on your knee, rubbing the pad of his thumb against the soft grey material of your sweatpants. “You aren’t gonna be any good to him when he finally wakes up if you can’t even keep your eyes open.” 
“He’s such an idiot.” You scoffed, your moods had been vile the last few weeks. You were sleep deprived, hungry, running of steam fueled by Starbucks caffeine and sugar free red bulls from the vending machine. “He shouldn’t have come after me, gives me a goddamn headache just thinking about it, it should have—“ A sob ripped through your chest and you were gone in seconds. Your bottom lip quivered as you fell into a heap against Jake's side, your hand reaching for his as Bradley rubbed a comforting circle against your arched back. “So so so dumb Rooster—he should have just let it be me.” It was supposed to be you. 
“If there’s one person on this planet Hangman would want to die saving Dice, it would be you.” It was hard to hear but Bradley knew you had to hear it. “He would do anything to keep you out of harm's way.” 
“Yeah well, what am I supposed to do if he doesn’t wake up, Rooster?” Rising from the side of Jakes hospital bed, you crossed your legs up into the chair you were perched on. “What if he just doesn’t wake up? And he gets trapped in the dreamscape world his mind is creating while I'm out here, all alone?” Bradley knew the breakdown was coming, he had seen it racing towards him at a million miles an hour over the last few days. Not taking care of yourself while giving your all to someone else was a tiring effort that broke the strongest of souls on their best days. You were only human, a much loved one at that. You didn't deserve this, Jake didn't deserve this. 
“Hey.” Rooster cooed, cupping your cheeks as he gently pressed the pads of his thumbs against your swollen cheeks to wipe away the tears. “Hey, Dice, look at me yeah?” You did hesitantly, not ready to take your eyes away from Jake, your Jake, your darling Hangman, your soon to be husband. “Dice, hell will freeze over before Jake Seresin gives up fighting, it’s Jake we’re talking about right?” 
“I just really really miss him Roo–” You could barely hold your head up with how tired you were, falling into Roosters chest as you sobbed your heart out. It broke his heart to know you were in such anguish. “Every fucking breath that I take since he left feels like a waste on me.” 
“He's here Y/n.” Bradley didn't know what else to do except hold you tight, hold you close as you cried in his arms. Over your shoulder, Bradley took in the sight of Jake Seresin, laying there in his hospital bed, with machines surrounding him helping him do the most mundane task of all. Breathe. Jake had always been the better of them, he didn't ever think, he would just always do. He was the Hangman, the top of his class, the cockiest fighter pilot Rooster had ever had the displeasure of knowing. 
But now? well–Rooster kind of wished that he’d given Jake more of a chance, perhaps there was some perplexing rhythm and reason why Jake was the way he was and did the things and did and said the stupid things he said. 
“He’s here, Doc said that, didn't she? He’s here, just needs some time to find his way back.” 
“I'm losing my goddamn mind Bradshaw.” Stifling a laugh, you sat back up, you wiped your tears and fixed yourself up. Taking a sip of the coffee Bradley had brought you to keep you alert. You had had your moment, now it was time to be brave, be there for Jake when he woke up. “I don't know how much more of this I can take before I lose my mind.” 
“How about I go grab you some food?” Rooster simply asked, standing as he kissed the top of your head. “You like that sushi place down the road, yeah?” 
“M’not that hungry–” 
“I don't care, you need to eat, you can't just–” Before Rooster could finish saying that you couldn't just not eat, you were snapping at him. It wasn't the first time but it was still rather jarring. 
“I said im not hungry, Rooster, you want food fine, go get yourself something, but im not fucking hungry.” It wasn't entirely your fault, Bradley knew it was coming from a place of despair and heartbreak. You couldn't control anything happening around you so you clung to something you could. He’d remembered that from therapy. 
“Okay, well, I'm gonna go grab something to eat and I'll be back okay?” Bradley wasn't expecting an answer, he didn't get one either. All that met him in response was the monotone beeping of Jake Seresins heart rate monitor and the overbearing shattering sound of your own. Pressing his lips together as he shoved his fist into his pocket to fish out his phone. Bradley turned on his heels as he left the room. Leaving you to sit in your own existential crisis.
“Hey kid, how's she doing?” Slider greeted Bradley from the otherside of the phone as he left the same way he came in, passing by the same nurses that now didn't even pay him any attention. Their minds on new patients, new charts to read, new turns of events. 
“I'm really worried about her, she's not eating, not sleeping, she's not doing well at all and I don't know how to help her.” It was the honest truth, Bradley didn't. He didn't know how to help pick up the pieces. Slider, your dad, although a million miles away–felt closer than ever when he brought up Bradley's own mum. 
“You were the same when Carole died kid, wouldn't let a single person help you until you hit rock bottom.” Slider sighed as Braldey pressed the button on the elevator. “She's gonna hit it eventually and when she does it's gonna be brutal but you’ll be there, just don't smother her, treat her like you normally would, watch over her but dont force her to do anything she doesn't want to do.” It was the advice Rooster had been seeking. He knew your dad would know what to say, how to keep him on the straight and narrow. “When she hits that wall you’ll know, because instead of pushing you away she’s gonna grip on, hold tight and not let go for love nor money, Goose.”

(North Island —Hard Deck Bar, October 16th 2014) 
“I’m here–” It came out more reluctantly than you really meant it to. But the way Jake Seresin jumped as you came up behind him and made your presence known had you breaking out into a fit of giggles on the front deck of the Hard Deck. 
“Fuck–” Jake groaned as he turned around and held his hand to his tan covered heart. “Why are you so quiet? You move like a goddamn prius?” You didn't know you could roll your eyes as hard as you did. 
“Can we just get this over and done with already?” You sighed dramatically, pushing past Jake as you made your way inside. He was hot on your tail, opening the door for you like the true southern gentleman that his mother had raised him to be. “Oh, thanks.” You hadn’t expected it, no one had ever opened a door for you like Jake had just done. Sure men held doors open in coffee shops in passing before, but this had been an intentional act. Jake had a pep in his step to reach the door before you could. “Why would you do that?” 
“We’re on a date.” It was the cheesy grin you received in return that had you rolling your eyes twice as hard as you;d just done, surprising yourself once more at the diameter they could actually roll. Jake stood there holding the door for you—gesturing for you to step inside. “And my mother would slap me across the face full force if she saw my date opening doors all by herself.” 
“Hangman I really don’t think this classifies as a date.” You tried to shut down the idea before it could bloom into something bigger inside Jake's head. But you were already too late. “I asked if you wanted to grab something to eat and have a couple of beers after work—to get to know my wingman.”
“Oh Lieutenant Dixon, if I can help it? You and I aren't just gonna be just wingman and wingwoman.” Jake shook his head. “So humour me a little, entertain the idea for a single night?” You stood in silence for a mere minute before finally admitting defeat. “One date—“ Stepping inside as Jake led you over to the nearest open bar table with a hand pressed to the small of your back, guiding you through. 
“One date is all you’re gonna get, Headache.” You groaned as Jake pulled the bar chair out from underneath the small round table. He watched as you sat down with a reluctant gruff. Laughing to himself at how easy it was to get under your skin. 
“One date is all I need to make you fall in love with me.” Jake replied as he walked around to find his own chair, handing you the menu as he waved over at Bill, the barkeep. “And just so we’re on the same page here sweetheart—“ Jake leaned in closer to you over the table, watching with hooded eyes and a wicked grin as you did the same. Mimicking him. “You’re a terrible wingwoman, so don’t think falling in love with me will affect your already atrocious aviation skills.” 
“Careful there Hangman.” It wasn’t that you couldn’t already feel yourself gravitating towards Jake, it was that you were scared of just how far the two of you were willing to let this go before pumping the breaks. “Anyone with eyes glued onto their head would think you’re a little obsessed with me.” For some reason, there were a few gold coated pens sitting on the table, possibly but also probably for the keno games that Bull liked to scatter around the joint. Picking one up—Jake clicked the top before placing it in his top pocket absentmindedly. You could never have enough pens. Everytime he needed one he never had one. Everytime he had one he never needed it. 
“Why don’t you roll the Dice and find out?” Jake grinned ear to ear, watching as you raised a brow in response. “Tell me a little about yourself? Perhaps I'll walk away all the more obsessed than I supposedly already am.” 
“Okay–” You simply sighed, dropping your chin as you frowned. Pulling your elbows off the table as you sat back into a slight slump. “This has been fun, really, this whole act–” it was Jake's turn to frown as he listened, noticing how you wore an expression he didn't like one bit. Something laced with self-doubt. “But you can cut it out now.” 
“What are you on about?” Jake asked as he handed you a menu. 
“The whole, you wanna be more than friends shtick you’re really playing up.” Yep, Jake really made you say it out loud. “I'm not the type of girl whos gonna fall in love with you Seresin, I'm not here for that shit, im here–” 
“Because your daddy is Ron Slider Kerner and he's chummy with Admiral Agony?” Jake didn't mean to say it like that's what he believed, he meant to say it in a way that he thought that's what you were going to say. Maybe the look he’d seen plastered across your face before wasn't self loathing after all, because when you straighten your shoulders and let out a scoff. Jake knew he fucked it. “I didn't mean it to sound like that, I just thought that's what you were going to say.” 
“Sure, because you and everyone else here surely don't think I'm the class Nepotism baby.” 
“That's Bradshaws title, get your own Dice.'' Jake was quick on the draw, it forced a laugh to bubble up from deep inside you as you took in the sight of his smile. So bright and all consuming. 
“No Bradleys the gold star kid, but don't tell him I said that!” You sat up a little straighter, knocking your knuckle against the top of the table. “He’s practically family, which means he’ll plant me in the ground if he ever heard me say that.” 
“Well, for the record, I don't think you’re a nepo baby.” Jake cooed, smirking wildly at you from across the table. The Hard Deck had started to get busier around you as you sat with the sandy blonde. The pair of you didn't seem to notice as you got lost in the conversation you were having. Something about Jake just drew you into him, you couldn't figure out what exactly it was that had your heart skipping a beat at the sound of his laugh or the glint in his eye. But there was something there. “I do think you’re gonna have a hard time following me, but I'll do my best to lead us to the top of that ladder, Dice Dixon.” 
You couldn't let Jake get away with thinking he was better than you, if you were going to be the best dynamic duo Mirimar had ever seen you needed it known who was the brains of this operation. And who exactly is what that was going to led you to the top of that leaderboard, to the top of the class and beyond. 
“Seresin, I have known you for the better half of one entire afternoon and I already know the most important thing about you.” You let your back rest against the plush back of the booth chair. Eyeing off the handsome aviator before you, Jake fucking Seresin was about to be the death of you and you knew it. 
“Pray do tell—“ Jake replied as he mimicked your actions. Letting his back rest and the plush of the booth, waiting for you to say something witty. Something he knew he’d never forget. 
“That the only place you’ll lead anymore is an early grave.”

My Next Life As a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! - Pirates of the Disturbance - Game Alan Stuart Review
Will Include Spoilers
Tumblr media
Oh thank you creators for making this guy my type he is a sad boy/tsundere who is shy and blushes alot and is easily flustered. This is the kinda guy that I'm sweet on easy. From his greyish/white hair to the way he wears his sexy earrings... yeah Alan is my guy in this game. Rozy still has me curious though so we shall see. Anyways Alan is a good guy to the point he is always worried about hurting his brother if he was to let Catarina know he loved her. Its funny because he didn't even realize he loved her until she got sick then he realized a world without her he just couldn't live in. I also respect him cause as soon as he knew he was in love with her he went straight to Mary to call off the engagement they had. I mean she didn't want to at the moment until they could be with the person they wanted then she said she would bow out.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He is just so protective of Catarina, like when they get attacked by pirates he is willing to fight to his death if nothing but to keep her safe. He is a prince but he never lets it get to his head, he is still same boy that grew up with her. He picks on her about not being lady like and all but at the same time these are the things he loves about her more. He is adorable when he realizes she kissed him by accident. He gets on her and seems mad when she does something that can hurt her but I honestly feel like its to prevent from breaking down. He finally gets through to her how he feels and even in his last fight with Frederic I was so not expecting him to push her back and catch the sword with his hand. Like seriously dude is bleeding out yelling at Frederic that he will not let him harm Catarina cause she is the only on the matters to him and she is important. That was such a declaration of love that should make most girls swoon.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The CG's were beautiful in Alan's route and I really love how both of them eventually expressed their love for each other it was so sweet especially with blushing Alan awww he is always swoon worthy. I love in best happy ending they end up engaged though. I hated how Mary and Geordo made them wait almost a year to be together because everyone else selfishness of wanting her. I do love Geordo was willing to let her be happy with Alan however I agree with Alan his last words may have sounded nice but he was practically saying my brother fucks up and I will be there. I love his special show he puts on for her in the lounge as well. I don't know everything about this couple I love and I love Alan so much.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The alternate ending with Mary abducting her was plain creepy. I mean I always knew the bitch was psycho but she really proved it now. She would rather kidnap Caterina than let her be with the man she loves that was sickening to watch. The sweet love story in the mix of Ryle and Liliana was sweet to watch unfold as well. I hate on good ending although together its more in secret because Caterina has yet to call off her engagement to Geordo. Plus on this ending when she told Geordo he wanted more time he sounded more selfish in this part cause he made it sound like he didn't believe Alan could make her happy. I dont see how this was a good ending because Caterina talks about Alan being a dunce and not sure she romantically loves him. The doom ending being killed by Frederic was anticlimactic though if it was a doom ending would be more entertaining.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Alan really is a special kinda guy and I would say he is like tsundere, meets sad boy, meets best friend/big brother trope. He is a bit of them all and every interaction I had with him was either sweet, intimate, or I could feel how much he cared. I posted alot of his pictures but some of the things he says is even sweeter take a look at the video its the last scene where they announce their love. If your ok with the spoiler you will see how adorable they really are together.

Dead Girl's Wish Oneshot
Tumblr media
Pairing: Remus Lupin x Fem! Reader
Summary: Ever since you were little—you were different. So was Remus. You went to therapy together and you were perfect....He asked to marry you...Happily Ever After is dead
Flashbacks are in italics
Warning: Lots of Angst and Lots of Blood
No use of Y/n
Word Count: 1.9k
Your boyfriend, Remus said he had a surprise for you. He wanted to hang out in the gardens of Hogwarts.
You had a surprise for him too—just not a good one.
As you walked towards the Greenhouse—tears already building up in your eyes...you remembered why this had to happen in the first place.
You two met in therapy when you were eight.
***
“We thought it would be better if you had someone similar around you—it would be easier for you to progress.” Miss Kempe, the therapist explained. 
Little Remus rocked on his feet. “There’s another werewolf?” He asked excitedly, nibbling on a bar of chocolate. 
“Well…no but…you’ll see.” Miss Kempe stood up and opened the door. “C’mon sweetie, you can come in.” 
Slowly, a pale little girl trudged into the room. She was clutching onto her oversized cardigan for dear life as her long hair hid her face. Her dirty white sneakers entered the room and sat on the chair near Remus. 
“Okay—how about you two get to know each other while I talk to your parents?” She closed the door. 
“Hello!” Remus waved. 
“Hi…” She said back. “What’s your name?” She asked quietly. 
“I’m Remus! What’s yours?” 
You two introduced yourselves to each other for a while—getting to know each other a bit. 
“Can I see your face?” Remus inquired. 
But the little girl backed away a bit. “I don’t think you want to. It’s scary.” She warned. 
“People think my face is scary.” Remus insisted. “It’s because I have a scar—do you have a scar?”
“No—and your face isn’t scary.” The little girl said before turning away bashfully. “Your face is pretty.” 
“Please?” 
In a moment of confidence, the little girl tucked her hair behind her ears and looked at Remus nervously. 
Her skin was practically translucent, and around her diluted red eyes you could see colorful veins decorating her eyelids and cheeks. 
“I think you’re pretty.” Remis grinned. 
“Really?” She asked. “How’d you get that scar?” 
Remus scootched his chair closer. “Don’t tell anyone…but I’m a werewolf.” 
She gasped. “Really? Like you can turn into a wolf?” 
Remus nodded. “It hurts alot but I can! Once every months at a full moon!” He recited. 
She also looked around. “I have a secret too. I’m half zombie.” 
Remus’s eyes widened. “I never heard of that!”
“Nobody has! The doctors don’t know either. That's why I look like this.” She explained. 
“Does it hurt?”
The two kids spent 5 hours chatting about their ailments and other things and soon became best friends. 
The parents and Miss Kempe watched them from outside the door. “I think this arrangement will work nicely.” 
***
You weren't sure if that qualified as a meet-cute but either way—your love story had to come to an end.
After all, he didn't deserve you. How could he? Look at yourself.
***
Today was a particularly rough session where they were encouraged to talk about their biggest insecurity with each other while Miss Kempe was out of the room. 
The two tweens sat in silence. 
“I wish I looked like the girls in the magazines.” You blurted, staring at the pile of newspapers and magazines on the table. 
Remus nodded before looking down. “I wish I wasn’t dangerous.” 
You laughed. “Well clearly I’m an asshole.” You scoffed at yourself. “I’m only worried about myself for cosmetic reasons.” You picked at your nails, the conversation pitted again. 
This time, Remus started it. “I think I fear it because it means that nobody deserves to love me.” 
Your head shot back up. “Same…I would feel bad for the person who loved me.”
“Maybe we deserve each other.” Remus laughed and the two 11 year olds laughed off their pain. 
“You deserve someone a lot better than me.” You concluded—grabbing a caramel from the candy bowl. 
“Likewise.” Remus replied—sending them both into another fit of sad laughter. “Well then…” He grabbed one of the ring pops from the candy bowl. “Will you marry me?”
You laughed, taking another ring pop from the bowl. “Only if you marry me!” 
“Wonderful!” 
You spent the rest of the lesson talking about what Hogwarts would be like and eating enough candy to feed a village. 
***
But that isn't how today was going to end. You refuse to laugh this off and eat candy until you had a stomach ache—you were going to face this like a big girl.
You remembered how Remus asked you out two years ago.
You were at the Great Hall for dinner. Remus had been repetitively proposing his hand in marriage to you—each time you said no and that he deserved someone better than her.
***
Ignoring all the stares you got from your grade mates, you sat down to eat when a fortune cookie appeared on your plate.
"Why don't you go see what it says?" Remus asked, nudging it closer to you.
"Oh god, what did you do?" You tried hiding your face and moving as far away as you could as you opened the cookie. Nothing happened so you sat comfortably again before reading the message inside.
________________
Will you marry me? — Remus J Lupin
________________
"No, Remus. You deserve somebody better than me." Came your usual response. "How did you even manage this?"
"Please?" He begged.
You laughed—grabbing some lasagna onto your plate. "No!"
"Even with an itty-bitty cherry on top?"
"You know I don't like cherries."
Remus pouted. "But that's why it's itty-bitty!" He protested. "Marry me?"
"No."
He slouched "Fine how about helping me study next Sunday for divination?"
"Sure." You grabbed out a pen to do your homework—ignoring the crushed up paper balls that people were throwing at you.
"Is 9 okay?"
"Sure." You responded once again, catching one of the flying paper balls and unrolling it so you could write your potions essay on it.
"Can you also help me pick out an outfit?"
"Sure." You started focusing on your essay.
"After can I take you on a date?"
"Sure." You hadn't even realised hat you agreed to for a moment. You shot your head up. "What?"
"Well you already said yes." Remus grinned, stealing a bite of your lasagna.
"You cheeky little—"
***
You two had continued going on more dates until you two finally kissed under the Mistletoe at Honeydukes. You returned to Hogwarts as a couple.
You really wished you could stay together. You made such good memories over the years and you really wished you could stay Highschool sweethearts once you graduated from Hogwarts in a few days but...you didn't want to condemn Remus to living a life with you.
Everyday, you woke up and checked how dead you looked that day. How green were you, how colorful were your veins, were your ribs decaying again?
Everyday you watches as girls fawned over Remus, flirting with him and you couldn't help but wonder how they could look so pretty.
It looked right—Remus with a pretty girl by his side and yet he felt obligated to be your girlfriend.
You didn't want to torment him like this.
So as you met each other in the greenhouse—you two made small talk for a while.
Helping water flowers, you told Remus how excited you were to spend more time with your newborn brother, Teddy.
Remus told you how excited he was to live a life beyond school. He told you how nervous he was to live his life when a war was going on.
"I'm just worried about you, ya know? I'm worried about everyone. Lily, you—all our muggleborn friends... That's kind of why I wanted to talk to you. Ya know, live life while we can." Remus shuffled his feet as he blushed.
You didn't see the blushing—instead you saw the worry and dread on his face. You realised how selfish you had been—spending so much of Remus's time where he would be safe and free—the time he should've spent with prettier, and smarter girls.
So you turned to him and told him you wanted to break up. Plain and simple. It wasn't him, it was you and you were sorry.
Without seeing his reaction—you ran out of the greenhouse and apperrated home.
Remus stood there stunned as he clenched the small black box that was in his hand.
It was all a misunderstanding, wasn't it? They probably needed to talk it out and everything would be okay.
Wouldn't it?
He loved you ever since your first therapy session–he genuinely thought you were the most beautiful person ever—inside and out. (Quite more literally too.)
He had spent weeks building up the courage—too many pep talks from James and Peter and too much time picking out a ring with Sirius and Lily.
He wanted to give you space—maybe wait for the initial shock to blow over so he did.
The next day, he figured you went home already so he used the Floo network to get to your house.
It was dark inside your usually bright and lively household.
A house that was usually filled with laughing, yelling, scolding and giggles was reduced to silence.
"Hello?" His voice echoed in the house was he was not alone.
So he walked through the rooms of your house until he saw your parents and older sister in your living room.
Dead.
He saw a trail of blood leaving the living room and he started running.
As he followed the trail—it lead to your room and the amount of blood was getting increasing—he was leaving foot prints in it. The hem of his pants were swimming in it.
His running came to quick stop when he slipped and fell.
Groaning, he tried getting back up but stopped in his tracks as chills ran down his spine.
His eyes glances at his hands and his pants as he dusted himself off from the fall when he realised that he had slipped on blood.
His eyes trailed further in front of him and he saw your dead body in a giant pool of blood.
The same pool of blood he had slipped in.
He checked for your pulse and did CPR for a good half an hour until he broke down sobbing. Cradling your body— he looked out the window to see the Dark Mark in glowing traces.
He swiped his hair off his cheek—unknowingly smearing the blood from his hands onto his face.
He fumbled with the ring in his pocket and slipped it into your cold dead hand. "Will you marry me?" He wailed. "Please answer..."
But your dead body didn't answer.
He cried even harder, pounding his fist against the floor boards when he heard something.
A baby.
His eyes darted to your closet. He scrambled up and saw the bloodied hand prints on the doors as you had opened them in your final moments.
He carefully opened the door to your closet where he saw your baby brother Teddy crying in bloodied blankets.
Remus quickly took off the blanket and made sure Teddy wasn't injured to see that your baby brother was completely fine and the only one alive in your family.
You had sacrificed yourself to save Teddy.
Remus shed off his hoodie, getting Teddy out of the blood stained blankets and cooing him to sleep.
Remus started wailing again—seeing your cold smile against the dirty carpet.
He clutched your baby brother and apperated to where all his friends were waiting—waiting to celebrate the newly engaged couple.
Instead—they got a broken Remus and a baby Teddy and the start of a tragedy.
Because as each of his friends died.
He promised to take care of Teddy like his own son.
Your last wish.

Aftermath
A Hanzo based story about the aftermath of his and Genji's fight. Warnings for blood, fighting, murder, angst and just alot of sad themes.
Authors note: please send requests my way!! Im happy to write anything and requests seem like fun ^^
Tumblr media
Ideals were always the fundamental part of life. It was how Hanzo was raised, and he held his ideals to the pinnacle. The Shimada clan was what he was born to be. He was the eldest son, and that position held responsibilities he had to uphold. After the death of his father, Hanzo was now responsible for keeping his family in line. Keeping his younger brother in line. They were brothers, and Hanzo always desired to have his brother at his side.
His younger brother was everything he was not. Genji was a reckless boy, a person who cared about short-term luxuries and not what the future held. Hanzo was the mature eldest son, while his younger brother simply goofed around with little care about the world around him. Genji was a stray thread in the carefully woven empire their family had created. And it was Hanzo's job to tie up any loose ends, his own brother included. But Hanzo just wished that Genji would join him in expanding their empire together, as brothers.
Hanzo never wished ill will against Genji. He always admired his tenacity and the fact he could bring a smile to anyone's face. Genji wasn't meant for the criminal world, but life has its ways of making things difficult. Hanzo still remembers the first move, the sharp feeling of pain in his shoulder as a shuriken inbeded itself into his flesh. He remembered the anger, the blinding rage at the younger man before him. Hanzo remembers how he unsheathed his sword, how every slice of the blade made more blood shed to the ground.
Genji, his younger brother, was a skilled fighter like himself. He carried his blade with confidence, and the shurikens had a pinpoint accuracy. Hanzo couldn't help but admire a little when they would train together as boys. Even in the face of death, his brother was still him, the dragon stirred within both of them. Roars of their dragon spirits filled the surroundings, rain poured down, and lightning shot throughout the clouds. It was almost like the world was fighting with itself as the two fought, both fighting to survive now.
Swift slashes of his sword, clashing against metal and cutting through cloth and skin, throwing of kunai and them embedding into flesh and nearby trees. Blood was everywhere, and deep red was splattered against the bamboo of the private Shimada garden. Hanzo smelled iron, a mix of his and his brothers blood covered his body. Hanzo was the one to finish the fight. He was the more skilled brother. It's what he was raised to be, the eldest son had to be.
He remembers every detail of that moment, how his side hurt from the deep gash of a sword running along his side. The numbness in his leg, nerves sliced and cut in their battle. Hanzo's most vivid memory, the sight of his baby brother bloodied and lifeless. How his eyes were still open, his body limp and the blood pouring around him in the grass. Each slash of the sword drained the life from his own kin, the man he wished to stand side by side. He stood above him in that moment. Tears filled his eyes as he collapsed beside Genji. Hanzo screamed. He cried, and he begged for forgiveness. The rage he previously felt subsiding to a deep and profound sadness he never grew away from.
Hanzo couldn't remember exactly when he picked his brother up, but he remembers placing Genji down on the ground in front of an Overwatch official building. Watching through tears, he saw guards take the lifeless body of his brother into the building. He left that day with only one thing he wanted from the world, forgiveness.
.
.
.
He limped back to the Shimada clan, rain and tears blurring his vision. The bloody sword sheathed on his back. The elders of the clan questioned him, Hanzo didn't register a single word, they said. He left for his private quarters, just numb to everything now.
Shedding himself of clothes, he stared at himself in the mirror, blood covered him. The tattoo of the dragon stared at him, a bitter reminder of the death he caused. The only other person to weird the power of the dragon was now dead, and he killed him. Hanzo stared at himself, a murderer and for what? He stayed like that for hours, anger festering at the elders who drove him to this moment. Hanzo patched his wounds alone, and every cloth turning red as he worked took him back to the image of Genji's lifeless body. Blinking tears away, he finished the bindings, red seeped into the bandage, but he didn't pay that mind. He had a goal.
Hanzo stumbled over to his brothers room, opening the door and entering he just stared, his eyes drofting towards the desk. Hanzo saw a picture of Genji and him, both in the arms of their father. He wept harder than he ever did before, Hanzo held onto his brother's orange scarf, still discarded on the table. Hanzo never wished for something harder. He regretted every time they fought, every time he wronged him, and the fact he was the one to end a life so young.
He wanted his brother back.
.
.
.
"Hanzo?"
He remembers the rime they were boys, his brother at the time had recently lost his front tooth. Genji was a cute kid, full of life and childish wonder.
"Yes, brother?"
Hanzo was sharpening his blade. The Shimada garden always provided him that peace he needed to focus on the blade. He had just finished sparing and was taking a breather, Genji seemingly loved to watch him. At the time, he wasn't old enough to wield a blade.
"What's it like.. to you know, swing that cool sword?"
He chuckled, Genji was just a boy and yet already was leaping at the chance to hold a sword.
"There's alot behind weilding a blade, it takes focus and understanding in both your ability and the blade's."
Hanzo watches as Genji's face scrunched into a look of annoyance.
"Noo.. I meant what it's like to go, swoosh! Slice!! Shing!! Not some stupid life lesson.. I already hear enough of that from dad.."
With each sound effect, Genji mimicked moves he saw his brother do, just poorly and with an invisible sword. Hanzo chuckled before getting up. In one swift motion, he sliced a branch off of a small bush nearby. He picked it up and picked off any small branches and leaves not needed. He handed the now cleaned branch to his brother, Genji was happy to follow his older brother's guidance on simple begginer sword moves.
An hour passed, and Genji had picked up the moves surprisingly fast, even faster then Hanzo when he was first learning.
"Do you want to try sparring?"
"YES."
Hanzo retrieved a nearby branch. It was bent and not straight, but that wasn't important to him. And together they sparred, Genji was surprisingly very adept at picking up cues of when Hanzo would move. It was still easy to win against him, but Hanzo did admire the promise Genji had. Even with an old bent stick, he was able to swing Genji's branch out of his hands, giving Hanzo the victory.
Genji had huffed before plopping down onto the grass, crossing his arms in a childish pout.
"Hmph. If I had a real sword I would've won! Not fair you're so old."
Hanzo smiled before sitting down beside his brother, patting his head as he did.
"Hah.. I might have age against you, but past that, I believe it was a fair fight. When you're older, you will definitely be a threat to any person you fight."
Genji's eyes widened, his smile grew and Hanzo saw he was practically vibrating in excitement.
"You think so!?"
Hanzo nodded.
"Yes, you react fast. And you picked up those moves faster then I've seen, the dragon stirs within you."
"When I'm older I'm so gonna beat your butt in a fight!!"
"Perhaps. I suppose we will have to wait and see."
.
.
.
Hanzo barely registered the words the elders yelled at him. He sat on the floor, his knees digging into the uncooked rice on the ground. News of Genji's passing reached the elders. It was a crimscene in the garden. With each sting of pain adding to his torment, it's what he deserved for the death of his brother.
"You were supposed to get him in line. Not to kill him, you disgraced the Shimada clan with your impulsivity."
Hanzo took the verbal abuse from each elder. He deserved it. But as each moment passed, he felt that anger to the elders return. It was their demands that led him to this, it was their fault Genji was dead. Each shoot of rice angered him, he got up and started to walk away.
"Where do you think you're going!? Kneel back down, you aren't allowed to just walk away from responsibility."
Hanzo felt his hand clench into a fist. He took note of the nearby bow and quiver mounted on the wall beside him. Before he was stopped, the bow was in his hand, and the arrow pulled back and spinning towards the center elders' head. Yelling and screaming filled his ears, Hanzo watched coldly as the lifeless body of the elder collapsed to the ground. He turned and ran, quiver around his body and arrow in his hand. Each guard was swifty handled with my hand to hand combat.
He escaped the grounds of the Shimada clan, taking cover in an old abandoned shack on the outskirts of Hanamura. He pulled out the orange scarf he held in his pocket, just days prior that scarf was around his brothers neck when he would go out and do whatever he did in a day. Now, it was in Hanzo's hand, never to be used by Genji again and serving a bitter reminder of what Hanzo had lost.
That day, Hanzo made an enemy of himself. He had a price tag on his head. But that day, Hanzo freed himself of those very ideals that led him to take his brother's life. He now had the goal of forgiveness and to mourn his brother's death.

TW/CW theres SSO MUCH. Hi its me after having a really bad episode or something im going to tell you all my story in full detail as much as I can remember because I cant take it anymore if any of the people named see this please understand if I dont do this I might actually off myself because this has gone on too long. I wont hide anymore I wont I dont know I dont actually know lets begin can you tell im not recovered? I joined the Mark101/TBOTV community maybe a year or two ago? And met two people, a guy named Jax and a guy named Alex. I bonded with both of them quickly though Alex grew on me more because we seemed to have alot more in common than I did with Jax. I started a server for the TBOTV community known as Offbrand and it was all nice until Alex started feeding off of the times I felt vulnerable and started telling me my friends (more specifically Jax for some reason) were bad people who were actually doing bad things. My PERSECUTOR in my system (why is that in all caps?) jumped on the opportunity to hurt us or well me- the host. I did not know he existed at the time and I was gaslit in a sense to believe everything Alex was telling me. Now you might be asking fib why didnt you get away from the other guys? Because I was an emotionally unstable bastard who couldn't let go of people. Eventually I had a meltdown and deleted the server and Jax became PISSED and did something small I cant remember but it made me feel worse during my meltdown. We 'made up' I think but the relationship was toxic in a sense as I still had Alex breathing down my neck and as time went on the relationship with Jax got worse and the relationship with Alex turned into online sexual abuse and emotional manipulation which I started taking without protesting because I never thought I would get out of it. My persecutor would constantly do things to start fights with Jax and I would be left completely clueless dealing with the fights which led me to try and find reasons for why they were even happening which Jax took as excuses and only left me more confused and heartbroken. I never understood what was going on and only knew I was a horrible person despite my actions not being my own. I always wanted second chances but never understood that it would never ever ever ever ever ever end ever. I would feel genuine fear around Jax but I would struggle to leave, I felt stuck between two people and I could never say anything about what Alex was doing to me or anything remotely right about the Jax situation because I never even knew what was happening. I was completely silent, and I suffering getting my shit rocked by Jax and his friend for things Alex encouraged and my persecutor jumped on, I thought I would never be able to leave so I took it and it only made me worse. Alex told me not to tell anyone he was saying anything because he couldn't have the community attacking him for 'exposing a bigger person in the community' and told me that if I ever told anyone even my closest friend that he would not only blackmail me but come to my house, kidnap me and rape me which for further context. This guy had my address. And he knew when I was home alone because my parents would always leave at a specific time for work and we would always play games right as they left. I dont know how he got it, but he had it, and he made sure I knew he had it. I couldnt do anything, so I stayed silent forever and ever while he breathed down my neck and told me so many things so so many things I cannot share about myself about what he would do and nobody ever knew. Ontop of this with the Jax situation and I just lost it. It went on for months until it was 'stopped' when I got banned from MWD for my persecutor saying a word they should not have said. it didn't stop. Ive been living with this for so long, I know this wont reach the people who were apart of it but I want people to know this, I need people to know this. is this my resolution? Im sorry Jax Im sorry Hob Im sorry Xonxt Im sorry Mark im sorry this ever happened but it did and I will suffer for it

OBSESSIVE STOLAS x Male Imp pt.4
Tumblr media
(This is a long fanfic and will consist of multiple parts.)
Stolas sat in the family limo, enjoying the smooth rumble of limos engine as he travelled home. Along the way, he felt... at peace.
As though, all the problems that plagued his mind before, had... evaporated.
Stolas ran a hand down his chest, his thighs grinding together as he thought about his time with you.
You were so gentle. So tender and elegant with him. As though he were some delicate piece of art.
But he knew the truth...
You handled him so delicately, because you wanted him to feel loved.
...Because you loved him.
The thought sending a whole new wave of warmth threw him.
So focused on the events that just transpired was he, he didn't even notice his arrival home.
He walked through the building blissfully unawares of all around him, almost in a drunken state.
Entering his chambers he found the bed made and empty.
Of course it was, Stella hadn't shared there bed since Blitzø fell into Stella's brunch.
He'd once found it all so charming. Blitzø's brash, rough and tumble attitude had once made him swoon.
But now when he thought about being with Blitzø, he just felt like an idiot for having thought there relationship was anything beyond a business transaction.
But now he had you. And you were all he needed now.
He fell onto his bed, not bothering with the covers. Content to just lay there and bask in the light you brought to his life.
But those tears he shed had took a toll on him, and as much as he wished to bask in this warmth he could feel sleep taking him and with one more happy thought of you, he allowed sleep take him.
He awoke early the morning, and despite being bathed in the light of Hell's crimson sun.
He felt cold.
As though all the warmth youd given him yesterday had simply vanished.
He sat up, sluggishily removing the covers went about preparing for his day of... nothing.
Stella hadn't allowed him anywhere near his usual meeting or appointments, not since- well you know what happened.
Perhaps he'd try and talk to his beloved Octavia. If she was feeling hospitable.
Hmmm. Perhaps not. He should probably just give her some space.
Besides he realised an even more important thing he could do with his morning.
Learning everything he could about You.
Turning over, he found his phone. Looking through his contacts.
He found your name, going into your contact he considered messaging you, but decided against it. He didn't want to bother you so early in the morning.
Instead he pulled up Voxtigram, his main form of communication, before typing in your name.
But he couldn't find you.
So he checked Blitzø's friend list, he eventually found you, it turns out you just had your name backwards, something that made him chuckle.
Seeing pictures of Blitzø sent pangs of sadness through his chest, but he soldiered on.
Scrolling through your pictures, he didn't find much.
Alot of them were just pictures of the places you'd been, or one of the weapons you used on the job.
He eventually did find some of you.
The first he found was you and the two other Imps that worked there, Millie and Moxxie he was pretty sure were there names.
The next was you on your first day at work.
It was a selfie of you in a group hug with Blitzø and the others.
You were all clearly being forced by Blitzø.
The awkward little smile you wore sent a wave of warmth through him.
Scrolling further down, he found more pictures of you. Most of them were just you relaxing at a variety of places, or after after getting a new outfit. Just general stuff about your life in hell.
Then he found one that made his heart skip a beat.
It was a picture of you. Wearing just a pair of shorts at the gym.
You were pulling a little pose, flexing your muscles in front of a mirror, a shy little blush across your cheeks.
Stolas' swallowed, his throat suddenly very dry.
He rubbed his thighs together as he fantasised about licking the sweat off your abs.
With a shake to his head, he decided now was a good time to get out of bed.
Leaving his phone as he went and took a nice long shower.
A nice long, cold shower.
Getting out, he chose a more casual outfit.
An old T-shirt and some jeans he reserved for comfy home clothes. He didn't have anywhere to be.
He made his way to the kitchen, where he found Octavia sitting at the table.
The more calculating part of his brain told him to just leave her alone, but he decided against it. He shouldn't hide from his daughter, she needed to know he was still there for her 'Hello darling, how did you sleep.' He asked pleasantly.
Octavia looked up at him, her eyes looking cold and annoyed. So, not all to different from her usual teenage gaze.
'I slept fine dad.' She sai, her voice dull and lifless, before looking back down at her phone.
Stolas swelled with joy.
His daughter was speaking to him again. Everything seemed seemed to be getting better for him.
Pouring himself a bowl of serial, he took a rather lecherous lstroll down memory lane, Thinking about his time with you.
He didn't know how long he'd been thinking about you, but he was quickly pulled out of it when he felt something hit him on the back.
The clanging of cutlery that followed soon after gave him a good idea of what it was.
Turning around he found a rather angry teenage owl glaring at him.
Before he could ask what was wrong. The owlet released a frustrated growl. 'Can you just not?' She asked rhetorically.
Running down her face she told him 'I have do deal with you and Mums B.S. all the time, can you just not fantasise about your fuckin Blitzy~ in front of me.'
She fell back into her seat with a huff.
Stolas was a little shocked. He hadn't thought his beloved daughter could be so course.
'I-I... I didn't realise I was being so bothersome.' He said, sounding perhaps a bit to wounded.
Octavia sighed, 'Can you just not in the kitchen. Where we eat, please?' She asked, going back to her breakfast.
Stolas sighed, picking up his now soggy bowl of serial. 'How long had I been in that state?' He asked himself.
'Five minutes' answered Octavia not looking up from her phone.
'Oh' he said to himself, taking the bowl he poured it into the trash. 'Well that's disgusting.'
He chuckled to himself. Looking over his shoulder he said 'Well, I'm sure you'll be happy to hear you won't be hearing much about Blitzø... ever again.' He told her being perhaps a little vitriolic.
Getting a cup from the cupboard, he poured himself a cup of coffee.
Walking over to Octavia he went to take a seat, but stopped upon seeing her distrustful gaze.
Taking a seat he sighed. 'Octavia, darling... I know these past few weeks haven't been easy on you. And I know much of that-" He had to stop as Octavia glared daggers at him. "...All of it, was my fault. But I promise, things will get better... for both of us.' He took her hand into his own. 'I promise.'
Octavia looked up at him, she looked so startled by his words.
It seemed like she was gonna say something, dew drops forming in the corners of her eyes.
He was about to say something when Octavia shot up and ran away.
Stolas sat there. For a long while. His conversation running over in his mind.
Taking a drink from his coffee he stood up, put his cup in the sink and left.
He found himself in his garden, perhaps the last place he still felt at home on the palace grounds.
Trying to calm himself down went about his usual grooming routine.
Trimming bushes, feeding his plants, pulling weeds and just general plant care.
And as much as his plants soothed his nerves,, he could feel his mood shifting.
The depression beganing to invade his thoughts.
He felt himself become that miserable husk that got shoved out of Blitzøs office.
He clutched his head, hunching over on the brink of tears. His thoughts became like daggers, stabbing into his thoughts.
But before he could shed a tear, he felt his phone vibrating in his pocket.
Pulling it out, he found it was a call from you.
In something of a surprised stupor, he answered the call. He tried to clear the emotion from his voice before saying 'Hello?'
'Stolas? Are you okay? You sound upset.' You asked him, concern in your voice.
'(Y/N)?! I... I'm...' he was going to tell you some fluff story, pretending he was fine and probably throwing a few lewd innuendos I'm there.
But, he choked... He just couldn't.
'No... No I'm not okay.' He told you, on the brink of tears. 'I feel like everything is broken and it's all my fault.'
You took a moment to respond, clearing your throat you said. 'Stolas... why did you sleep with Blitzø?'
Stolas was taken aback, 'P-Pardon?'
You sighed, 'Did you want to hurt your family when you chose to sleep with Blitzø?'
Bringing up it was he who made of decision to sleep with Blitzø, made his self loathing grow like a fire.
'N-No!' He told you 'I would never want to hurt my family...'
'Its alright Stolas, I know you wouldn't want to hurt them... But you slept with him for a reason Stolas, you need to know what it is.'
Stolas wasn't sure how to answer, he didn't really know the answer. He could lie, tell you it was just a spur of the moment decision, but that just wasn't true.
'I-I don't know.' He stated, more then said. 'I don't know why I did it... I just... don't know.'
He sat there for several moments, his mind going into overdrive as he thought over the question.
'Its alright Stolas, I believe you. But you need to figure it out, this is something that will haunt you until you figure it out." You told him, trying your best to be serious.
Stolas wiped his eyes, before asking you, 'why did you call (Y/n)? I... don't remember giving you my number!' He mumbled out, rubbing his eye.
You coughed, clearing your throat, 'Don't worry about that. I actually called you because, well I mean, I was wondering, if maybe you wanted to do something tomorrow?' You asked him, voice thick with bashfulness.
Stolas was really taken aback, 'You... You want to do something... With me?' He asked incredulously.
You chuckled on the other end of the phone. 'If I were there right now, Stolas, I'd probably boop you right on a nose.' You tell him through a smile.
'I'd love to do something!' Stolas practically cheered. You chuckled, before telling him 'Great, Ive already got an idea, but if youd like to do-'
Before you could finish your note, Stolas shouted, 'I'd love Too!'
Stolas quickly calmed down, before clearing his throat, 'Sorry... I mean, I'd love to do whatever you had in mind.' He said, cringing at how desperate he'd sounded.
'Good to hear' You chuckled, 'Well, there's this great wine place I know that makes the best little pizzas, and I, uh, wanted to share it with you.'
Your words sent a wave of ecstasy through his body. You not only wanted to spend time with him but actively sought him out to spend time with him.
You were everything he wished Blitzø was.
And he loved it.
He didn't need Blitzø.
He had you now.
'Of course (Y/N), It would be my pleasure to spend some time with you.' He told you, biting his lip.
He felt like a school girl with her first crush, a youthful giddiness clouded his mind.
'Oh? Well I've got tomorrow off, does that work for you? We can do it another day if your busy.' You told him, concern clear in your voice.
It was Stolas' turn to laugh at the tone in your voice.
'I don't have anything on tomorrow, so I'd love to accompany you to yor wine and pizza place. Nothing would make me happier.' He told you earnestly.
He could hear the smile in your voice, as you told him. 'Well, I'm happy to hear that. I'll send you the address later today, call me if you need any directions... I'll see you then, Stolas.'
'I...' Stolas wanted to tell you how much he loved you, just how much joy you brought him with one simple phone call.
He wanted to tell you, but didn't have the words.
As he tried to manifest the words he needed, he heard say through the phone.
'Its alright Stolas. I look forward to seeing you too.'
You told him simply, Stolas just sighed. How you always knew what he was trying to say.
'I'll see you tomorrow, My Beloved.' he told you before you hung up.
Hearing the tell tale dial tone, looking down at the phone, your image in the caller I.D. bringing a smile to his face.

UNDATEABLES↓
Diavolo:
Mini golf, it was both surprising and unsurprising
He was able to ditch the suit he wore normally to more comfortable clothes
Enjoying the strange golf courses Wincing everytime he shot one too far and completely lost the ball
You were getting better scores than him and he a better player!
"will you guide me on this one? I think I'm going to hit it too hard again."
You smiled, happily moving behind him and putting your hands on his
You helped him control his swing and to no surprise it was a perfect shot
"perhaps I should guide you every turn, you're a pro."
"if it isn't (Y/N), who's this? I don't think we've met."
"go away, I don't have time for you."
Dia immediately recognised your ex, hiding his annoyance behind a smile and shook their hand
"I'm their boyfriend, we're currently on a date, so if you'll excuse us."
He tried to usher you both along but your ex grabbed his hand
"let's not end this so soon, I was close with them, don't you want to share stories?"
"No-"
"I'll go first, as an ex wanting to help you out! Don't bring up a single issue to them, they won't help you at all, they always told me I was overreacting."
You groaned, clutching your golf club tightly
"because you were, threatening to hit me over not wanting to hear you complain about your side girls not texting you back is an overreaction."
"always spinning stories! This what I mean, you just need to be prepared to be in that kind of relationship with them, they'd only Respond to yelling."
"you're the only one who would listen when yelled to and would just yell at me because you could, you're a horrible person and you should leave right now-"
You wanted to hit them with your golf club, fuming at how they talked about you
"they've been very good to me and I've never had to raise my voice at them, perhaps you were the issue."
His voice was still so kind that your ex almost didn't realize what he said
"such a shame they've already gotten to you - oh we need to move, watch me play okay?"
They winked at the demon, strutting off to their new golf site
"let's play but I won't bother you to guide me."
"it's no bother-"
Dia took a strong strike, the ball flying off and hit your ex in the head
But another flying golf ball was already being sent their way
"Sorry! You just look like target with seeing how much you open for mouth, here I'll give you my club as an apology."
He 'accidentally' did it too hard and sent his club flying in their direction, they just missed it
They screamed at him for being crazy but he just kept his sweet smile
"so you're actually a great shot on your own."
"guilty, I just wanted you to hold me."
Barbatos:
Aquarium, it feels fitting seeing he's also a serpent demon .
You held his gloved hand, pointing out towards the colourful fish that caught your fancy
"there are remarkable species I'm sure you've yet to have seen in the Devildom, Perhaps I'll take you to see them."
"really??!! I'd love to!"
He admired the dolphins that swam across the open space around the hallway, watching the way it delved back into the water
"this is embarassing, is that really you?!"
"oh no...."
"it is! When I found you disappeared I thought it was because of me! But here you are and with you're- whoever this is."
"I'm the boyfriend."
He nudged you away from your ex, his mood already sour
"boyfriend?! Already...? What a shame you moved on so quickly, I've been thinking about you."
They caressed the side of your cheek but you just slapped their hand away
"yeah right, leave us alone - I don't want to be around you."
"don't even think about insulting them, are you really going to bring up the past as a way to hurt them just because they've refused you?"
"h-huh-?! What are you- I wouldn't do such a thing!"
"oh...? So you weren't thinking of bringing up the time they use to 'love' you Touching them and was just 'shy' about it? Knowing it'll get a rise because you know that they didn't like your touch."
"how did you-?!"
"I know alot about you and what you plan to do, it would best you step away now before I set your fate in stone - swimming with the fishes."
He towered over them, their back pressing against the tank glass,
their eyes glancing to the fishes behind them
They let out a nervous laugh
"right....well I'll be going then, goodbye (Y/N)."
Solomon:
A fire works show - meant you could spend the mornings doing whatever you want but the night?
That's when you two went Speeding
You kept your scarf close to your face, it being a chilly night
You kept your hand intertwined with your boyfriend's, in awe at the fireworks
"They're not very close are they? i could make fireworks."
He shook his star wand, you were thankful it looked like a toy
"Sol, you can't just use magic when there's a small inconvenience."
"fireworks-!"
Soon enough fireworks came bursting out closer to where you two stood, still a safe distance away but seeing as you didn't get the best spot in the crowd
It was much cooler to see them closer
"No way!!! You're back in town?! I thought you left for good!"
It was almost hard to hear your ex over the fireworks
Solomon gave them the side eye as he clutched your hand
"I know have devastated you were after the breakup, seriously didn't think you'd disappear, I bet that you died or something!"
"do you have nothing better to do?! I'm trying to enjoy the fireworks with my boyfriend."
"Him?! You going for witchy hippies?! Wooow your taste has just stayed shit, hasn't it?! This is why you need me back, I actually gave you good taste!"
"You made me listen to country rap that all sung about beating women - I've upgraded!"
You shuffled closest to Solomon, ignoring your ex as they kept trying to pester you
"Can you stop being such a- are you kidding me?! You're never going to change- don't - ignore- you stupid bi-"
The more they began to yell the more powerful fireworks Solomon set off
Almost completely blocking out you exes screams
It got to the point there had to be a fireworks break due to how hectic it got
"this is dumb, I'm leaving." They huffed as you continued to ignore them
"how fortunate, I'm sure I could of started a fire from all that."
"like a fire would of stopped you, thanks for blocking them out."
He kissed your cheek, smiling
"my pleasure~"
Simeon:
He took you ice skating, unfortunately you were terrible at it whilst he was fine
You were both wrapped up warm as he helped you skate across the rink
Your legs wobbled and you slid to face your almost fell over
"hahah, you're adorable but don't worry, you'll be a master of it by the end of tonight."
You slowly got the hang of it, gripping his arm whilst he just smiled, enjoying being so close to you
"i think I got it-! Wait no no no don't let go!"
Just as your small victory gave you a big smile it immediately dropped when your ex skidded over
"What are you odds of you being here, I see you still can't skate."
"so what? You want to bother me about skating? Why not go back to your girlfriend and leave me alone."
They just laughed
"so insistent, if that's what you want~"
They skated past you, bumping into you and you immediately went flying into the ice
Happy you kept your hands close to your face as another skater zoomed by
Simeon hastily helped you back up, dusting Ice off you
"Let's sit down, maybe they won't be here for long."
He helped you off the ice and you both sat on a bench, he got you a warm drink before sitting down
But it wasn't over, your ex coming to where you were sitting still in the rink
"sorry about that, it was a total accident I swear - tell me (Y/N), what made you come here? I bet you were stalking my page again, wanted to see me?"
"no, I just wanted to have a date with my boyfriend."
"It would be best you left us alone, your presence clearly isn't wanted."
"neither was your opinion, from past lover to new, watch yourself because they will destory your heart and your life - nothing will ever be comfortable or happy with them."
"that is untrue-"
"really? Is it? We all know they just like to use people for their kindness and leave them because of a stupid mistake - don't you understand what parties do to people? Huh?! I'm glad I got with her at that party because she's a better partner than you ever were."
You pounded the side of your first to the table, glaring at them with tears in your eyes
"you cheated on me and blames it on alcohol, when I forgave you - it only made you feel happy to keep going back to her! Don't talk to me like you're the victim-!"
Simeon, rubbed your back, frowning at your ex
Your ex just scoffed, skating off
Your boyfriend suddenly stood up and began to march over to the rink
You tried to ask what he was doing but he didn't respond, quickly skating over to your ex
When he caught up he skidded so far they got covered in ice, grabbed your ex with a smile
And suddenly, you didn't see what happened but your ex screamed, darting off the Ice trying to get away from Simeon
When he finally came back he took a sip of your drink and smiled
"let's head back on the ice, I still have to make you a pro."

Koutaro Bokuto x Fem Reader: Eligible Bachelor
Tumblr media
 Summary: Some of the MSBY team are scheduled at a charity event and are auctioned off for dates, you being the manager go with them. The team is well aware of your crush on Bokuto and put a plan in motion. What’s the worst that can happen. 
 Words: 5.1K
 Warnings: Angst if squint, happy ending, MSBY 4 being sold as dates for Charity.
 Authors Note: Hello! This is my first time posting a fic so go easy on me, I hope you all enjoy it and get a good laugh out of it like I did! This is part of a collab with @ambershaydeoffical! Please support all the talented writes who participated. 
Update: I made a route for Sakusa! Find that here
Update: I made a route for Atsumu! Finda that here
Story
“Alrighty boys are you ready to go on in?” You said staring at the four well dressed men  behind you.
 “No, and I want to go home.” Sakusa adjusted his black facemask. He wasn’t keen on coming to this event whatsoever.
 “Sakusa I know, but I really need you! Besides what would you be doing anyway? It's Valentine's day and you're as single as single gets. Live a little. Maybe you will find your Mrs.Clean tonight! Ya never know!” You said as he rolled his eyes and scoffed.
 “Omi-Omi don't be that way. Our lovely manager here worked hard to get us this opportunity, and it's benefiting a charity you scrooge.” Atsumu smacked Sakusa’s back.”I think your just upset because you know all the ladies are going to bid on me.” The blond setter smirked at the very pissed Sakusa who just glared at him.
 “NOoO It's going to be me who gets all the bids. I still have my tan from Brazil and I’m alot cooler than all of you.” Hinata piped up, proudly adjusting his tie that had little volleyballs on it. 
 “Well if we don’t get our asses in that building, aint none of y’all getting any bids, besides I’m freezing to death,” You said rubbing your arms. The dress you wore done little to protect you from the cold night. 
 “Take this please, I don’t want to freeze to death. I like you warm and alive.” Bokuto, who's been oddly quiet, spoke up wrapping his grey tux jacket around your shoulders leaving him in his blue button up. You could smell his cologne on the jacket, you could drown in this and wouldn't complain. Your cheeks ran hot and you managed to let out a “thank you” through chattering teeth.
 “Okay let’s get going.” You said wrapping the jacket tighter around you as the boys followed you like baby ducks. Bokuto walked up beside you while the two boys bickered over who would have the most bids in the back, Sakusa wanted no part in it and stayed to himself. You look at Bokuto  who seemed nervous. You decided to hype him up a bit before he went into emo mode. “Bokuto you are going to have some gorgeous high profile women coming after you tonight, I’m jealous of them.” You didn't lie, you had the biggest crush on Bo, ever since you took the job as the MSBY manager. You never have a frown on your face next to him- until now. You knew he’d have a woman, that's not you, by his side tonight. You’d bid on him until your bank went in the negative but you don’t get paid like the women at this event do.
 “You wait and see, I’ll have the most beautiful one by time the night is out.” Bokuto said, smiling at you. You felt a pang of sadness creep on you, if he only knew. 
 The warm air of the ballroom felt nice against your cool body. You gave Bokuto his jacket back, you secretly wished you could keep it forever. You took in your surroundings, the ball room was filled with women in designer dresses and you could see the small stage in the middle of the room. 
 “Guys I have to find the event coordinator and see what time you guys need to get on stage. Please be on your best behavior, there are cameras everywhere. Atsumu keep the drinking to a minimum, Shoyo for the love of God go to the bathroom now, Omi keep these fools in line and you better be nice to people and last but never the least Bokuto, If you dance please be careful, I don’t want to take you to the ER again because you hit the Cha cha slide too hard. And with that I’m out. I’m counting on you guys.” You said giving them a thumbs up as you got lost into the sea of people to hunt the event coordinator. 
~
 “Thank you so much Y/N! Everyone is looking forward to the auction. We have some models and a couple pop stars who will be in the line up as well as a few volunteers . I want your boys to go at the end, as they say ‘always save the best for last’.” The coordinator spoke over the bustling crowd. She went over the rules and where they needed to go and what time to line up. You soaked in all the information the bubbly coordinator was giving you. “I have to go let the rest of the people know the game plan. Please have your guys here and lined up in half an hour. Thank you again!” And with that she disappeared into the crowd. Now here came the hard part.
You scanned the large ballroom to find your heathens. Sakusa would be the easiest to find because he is most likely on one of the four corners in the building. Hinata was most likely with Bokuto, and Atsumu was a wild card, he could be at the bar, maybe even on the dance floor trying to impress girls with his dance moves(That suck by the way). You recall the time you found him passed out in a bush drunk off ass at a gala last year. You make up a game plan, you would get Bo and Hinata first, then find a hopefully sober Tsumu and lastly get Sakusa (you figured it best not to drag him around the ballroom) You spot Bokuto’s tall figure next to a snack bar, and as you figured Hinata was with him. They were both stuffing their mouths with meat kebabs and other foods like wild animals, they sure love to eat you thought. 
 “Bokuto,Hinata, they are getting ready to line everyone up, wait for me over there.” You said pointing towards an area that was not  too terribly crowded.
 “HEY HEY HEY Y/N try one of these things, they are so freakin good.” He shoved a cake pop in front of your face. You took it from the gray haired boy.
 “Thank you Bo, but we really need to go.” You took a bite from the cake pop. “Wow that is really good.” You said finishing it in one bite. You heard some snickers from a group of girls, they made a smug comment about you eating it all at once. You normally would throw hands but you had an image to uphold. You shouldn't let it bother you but it did.
 “Hey don’t let that bother you, besides I like a girl that can eat.” Bokuto said, patting your head. He is literally the human version of sunshine. 
 “Thanks Bo. But really we need to get the move on, I still have to hunt Tsumu down. Can you and Hinata wait for me over there.” You said pointing to the area again.
 “Roger that.” They said unison. 
  “I’ll be right back.” You said going back into the crowd. You checked the dancefloor first and he wasn't there(You were relieved he was not.). You made your way to the bar and found him surrounded by women who were mesmerized by his thick accent. You waved him down and he nodded and turned his attention back to the group he had attracted.
 “It looks like It's time fer’ me to go, make sure you all bid for me. I’ll be a waitin’” He said getting up and following you. The women he had been entertaining giggled as he walked away.
 “Look at you being a player. I didn’t expect that from a man who yells at girls when they cheer for him.” You leaned into him so he could hear you over the crowd.
 “I’m just tryin’ to raise some money, it's strictly business. My heart belongs to volleyball for the most part.”He said winking at you. He truly is just a fool in love with the sport. 
You led Atsumu to the group and went to retrieve poor  Sakusa. You looked around for a few minutes and felt a tug at the back of your shirt. You turn around and see Sakusa towering over you. 
 “This is new, I’m used to finding you sulking in a corner.” You said staring into his black eyes. 
 “I watched you gather everyone up, I figured I would come on over to make it easier for you.” He began to walk towards the rest of the group.
 “I guess being 6’4 has its perks huh Omi? You're like a watchtower.” You said looking up at the tall spiker.
 “Yeah, guess so.”He said playing with one of his dark curls.
~~
 “Okay we have everyone, so you guys are going last, I’ll leave who goes first to you guys. Now let's go get lined up.” You lead them to the stage and let them line up. Atsumu insisted on going first, Hinata would go after him, then Sakusa and lastly Bokuto. 
 “You owe me some umeboshi after this.” Sakusa said, taking his mask off and putting it in the pocket of his tux.
 “Sure thing. I'll even throw in a thing of nice smelling hand sanitizer for the trouble.” You crossed your arms and smirked at him.
 “I’ll hold you to that.” He said, filing behind Hinata.
 You looked at Bokuto who appeared to be a nervous wreck. He had a small layer of sweat on his forehead and his hands were shaking slightly. “Hey it's going to be okay, I’ll be right here.” You said pulling out your handkerchief and dabbing the sweat off his forehead. “You're amazing and dare I say you're the best looking one.” You said making him blush.
 “Ummm HEY.” Atsumu said glaring at you, obviously butt hurt from your comment. Sakusa was unamused and took it upon himself to kick Atsumu. That gave you the opportunity to turn your attention back to the nervous male beside you. Before you could comfort him the loud speaker cut you off.
 “Ladies and gentleman, would you please give your attention to the center stage, the date auction will begin momentarily.” The coordinator announced causing everyone to tense up a bit.
 “Come on guys loosen up a bit, I’m going to be in the front taking pictures for our instagram page. So show off a little! Show them you are proud to be a part of such an awesome volleyball team!” You hyped them up one last team. “With that being said I want a group picture so bring it in guys.” You said pulling the camera and ushering the athletes into the frame. “Say cheese.” Atsumu wrapped his arm around Sakusa who didn’t have the chance to push him off, Bokuto gave Hinata bunny ears. It was a chaotic photo, but It caught their true essence. 
 “I want a picture with you before you go Y/N. Pleaseee.” Bokuto gave you puppy dogs eyes and you couldn't deny him.
 “Sure Bo. Atsumu here.” You handed him the camera and got beside Bokuto. He wrapped an arm around your waist and held you close to him. You could feel his muscles through the tux that fit just a little too good. 
 “Aww you look like a cute couple.” Atsumu teased as he brought the camera up to snap a picture. You couldn't make a comeback as embarrassment washed over you. You looked up at Bokuto who had a blush adorning his handsome face.
 “Y/N I’m going to do something, don’t get mad.” Bokuto said, picking you up bridal style before you could even protest.
 “That’s what I’m talking about!” Atsumu said, snapping more pictures. 
 “Bokuto put me down, I'm heavy!” You shriked  gripping onto his tux.
 “No you're not. I could carry you around all night like this if you wanted me to!” He smiled down at you! You felt your face light up like a Christmas tree. No matter how big or small you were, Bokuto always made you feel like a princess. 
 “As much as I’d love you to, we gotta get this ball rolling.” You said as he gently placed you back on your feet. “I’ll be taking that.” You said snatching the camera from Atsumu who was smirking. He seemed to be hiding something from the way he was acting. He is definitely sus you thought. You waved the boys goodbye and made you way to the front of the crowd. You got the camera ready as the spotlight of the stage flickered on. 
 “Thank you all for coming out tonight! We hope you are ready to see the heartthrobs we have lined up for you!!” The announcer said setting the tone. “Valentine's day is all about love and being with one another. So if your single, ladies, pull those yen out and let’s get to business!” The crowd cheered and applauded as the auction began.
You didn’t pay much attention to the men coming on stage, your only worry was the last 4. You scrolled through the camera to see the pictures Atsumu took of you and Bokuto. Bokuto had such a wide smile on his face in the pictures, your smile was just as big, even though your face was full of panic in the one where he effortlessly picked you up. You’re pulled from your day dream when you heard the announcer’s voice.
 “We have some special guests tonight from the MSBY volleyball team! We’ll start first with Miya Atsumu!” The announcer said as Atsumu walked on the stage like he owned it. He flipped his hair and looked at the group of women he serenaded earlier and blew them a kiss. You got lucky and snapped a picture of it, he may be annoying as hell but he knows how to get women. He had about ten women fighting over him, his bids kept going up and up. After a cutthroat battle he was sold for roughly  200,000 yen. He smirked and walked off the stage. You couldn’t help but chuckled to yourself, he’d be one of a kind if he didn’t have a twin. 
 “Up next we have Hinata Shoyo!” She said as the tangerine headed boy shly walked on stage. He looked confident for the most part and he thankfully went to the bathroom before this. He had on one of his classic charming but cute smiles. You could hear girls behind you talk about how cute he was. His skin was glowing under the spotlight thanks to the Brazilian sun. His bids went up high, he ended up being sold for 120,000 yen. He waved at the audience and bounced off the stage.
 “Let’s welcome our next bachelor who just so happens to be the tallest one tonight, Sakusa Kiyoomi!” You watched on edge as Sakusa walked out, he didn’t seem nervous but he wasn’t all that interested either, he stood in the middle of the stage like a statue. To make matters worse he wasn’t smiling. You grabbed his attention for a moment and smiled as wide as you could and pointed at your face, you felt like one of the psychotic moms from toddlers and tiaras but you had to do something or he wasn't going to get any bids. You mouthed the words “Smile please” at him and he finally took the hint. He had an awkward but cute smile on his face finally. You relaxed a little and resumed taking pictures. His bids began to go up and quick. Sakusa looked at the exit of the stage and smirked at someone and turned his attention back to the crowd. You could only guess he was looking at Atsumu who was probably pissed at how high Sakusa’s bids were. Sakusa was sold for a whopping 500,000 yen. You know Tsumu’s ego was damaged beyond repair right now. Sakusa bowed and left the stage. 
 “Now let’s end this night right! We have one more contest so let’s welcome Bokuto Koutarou to the stage!” You felt your heart drop and the announcer said his name. You had to watch someone you loved dearly be bid off to some rich girl who would probably steal him away. You tried to knock away negative thoughts but you couldn’t help it. He looked sinfully good when he walked on stage. What nervousness he felt was gone and now it’s nothing but his overwhelming confidence. He carefully watched one specific area of the crowd. You snapped pictures of him (a lot of them being for your personal collection) as he walked around the stage flexing and showing off. His eyes met yours a lot and he seemed to be smirking at you. But his attention always went back to the one area of the crowd. You heard his bids go up, one particular girl was bidding for him like her life depended on having him. Her voice came from the direction he kept starting at. He looked nervous when anyone but her called out a bid. You began to get ate up with pure jealousy, you wish you could take him off the stage and run away with him right then and there. The bids kept going up and up and the girl that kept bidding on him got him for 150,000 yen. He looked ecstatic. He looked at you and smiled before he went off stage. Your heart dropped and you wanted to leave, but you still have work to do. 
 “That concludes the auction tonight! If you won you can meet up with your bachelor over here on the left.” The announcer pointed towards the group of men. You made your way to find the guys so you can take more pictures and let them know where you’ll be when they get done.
 “You guys did awesome!” You said running up to them. They gave you a soft smile. You notice Bokuto was MIA. “Umm guys, where is Bo?” They hesitated for a second but your conversation was cut short as the boys dates for the evening came up.
 “Sakusa was it?” A well dressed man walked up to the tall volleyball player. You noticed a small girl clutching his dress shirt. She couldn’t be any older than 8. “This is my daughter, she wanted someone to dance with her but in all honesty I’m trying to make some business deals while I’m here, keep her company for me.” The man patted his shoulder and slipped some extra money in Sakusa’s shirt pocket, leaving him slacked jawed. 
  “All the umeboshi your heart desires, a big box of the nice face masks you like, and whatever else you want, just please be nice to this poor girl. She looks sad.” You whispered into Omi’s ear trying to persuade him a little more.
 “I didn’t come here to babysit, but I guess I can.” He said low enough that the girl couldn’t hear. Omi peered down at the small girl, she actually had moles on her face kinda like he does but on the opposite side.
 “Umm hi.” She said looking up at the tall man. She seemed nervous. You nugged Omi in the side to get him to say anything.
 “When was the last time you washed your hands?” He asked the girl and you could have choked him. The girl giggled at his statement.
 “I wash my hands all the time! Look my mom even bought me this!” She pulled out a small key chain with a rabbit on it, attached was a small bottle of hand sanitizer. “Would you like some?” She said opening the cap. Sakusa held his hand as the small girl poured some into his hands and she gave herself some as well.
 “Good.” Sakusa said, pulling his mask from his pocket to put it back on. The little girl grabbed his hand and dragged him to the dance floor. You knew this was way out of his comfort zone, but he was still doing it. 
 “Omg your hair is so cute! Can I touch it?” You whipped your head around to see a young bubbly girl talking to Hinata. 
 “Umm s—s sure.” He said nervously as the girl ran and hand through his hair. You couldn’t help but laugh a little. The poor baby seemed so embarrassed. The dance floor was filled with couples and the girl dragged Hinata to the dance floor before he could even get her name. You turned to Atsumu who looked like he had seen a ghost.
 “Young man I’m getting my money's worth tonight so let's go dance.” An old lady who you thought resemble Baba Yaga from spirited away stood in front of poor Atsumu. 
 “Yes ma’am.” He said, forcing a smile.  He looked at you pleasing eyes that screamed “please save me Y/N”. You shook your head at him.
 “Pay attention to me boy, I paid good money for you.” The old lady said whacking Atsumu with the cane she carried.
 “Yes ma’am, sorry ma’am.” He said walking with the old woman to the dance floor. You had to turn your head and laugh, between Sakusa getting stuck babysitting a kid and Atsumu being stuck with a senior citizen after talking all that smack, it was priceless. You guess them ladies Atsumu talked to must not have liked him that much.
You searched around for Bokuto to make sure he got his date for the night, you were also curious who she was and how pretty she was. You felt that jealousy creep back on you. This was going to be a long night. You finally spot Bokuto talking to a drop dead beautiful girl, she looked familiar but you couldn’t quite place her. She and Bokuto seemed to be having a good time, she was laughing at something he had said. Your heart shattered. You look back up to see Bo making eye contact with you. All you could do was smile and get lost in the crowd before he could see the stray tear falling down your cheek. You needed to get outside for a bit, you felt like you were suffocating. You fought the crowd and finally made your way to the exit. You pushed the metal door open. The cold night felt good against your hot skin. You walked down a path in front of the building and tried to collect yourself. 
 “Another year alone and single.” You blurted out to yourself. You find a small bench and decide to sit down for a bit. The night sky brought a sort of comfort to you. The stars twinkled and the moon casted a peaceful light. The cold was getting to you but you were afraid to go back in. You mentally couldn’t handle it. 
 “PARKOUR.” You felt your soul leave your body as you saw a shadow jump over the bench you were sitting on. You flinched back ready to fight off the attacker only to be met with Bokuto standing in front.
 “BO you scared me to death!” You said inhaling a deep breath and clutching your chest.
 “I’m sorry my parkour was so awesome it scared you.” He said, taking his jacket off and draping it yet again around your cold body. Your nose flooded again with the scent of his cologne. It’s calmed you down in a bittersweet way. “But angel what are you doing out here, you’ll get sick if you're not careful.” He kneeled down a bit and pulled the jacket around your cold body more. 
 “I could ask you the same things Mr. Parkour, you have a beautiful woman in there waiting on you, so stop wasting your time on me.” You said trying to hold it together.
 “Well I’m more concerned with the real beautiful one sitting right in front of me.” He said grabbing your shaking hands. Your eyes went wide with what he said.
 “Bo I’m confused?” You said looking into his golden eyes.
 “Well that woman you saw me with is not really my date, yes she did bid on me, but she was never my real date. She is actually the guy who owns our gym's daughter! She agreed to bid on me, but in return she wanted a date with Atsumu’s brother and he agreed to do it! The team helped me do this so I could be with you tonight, but I guess it didn’t go as smoothly as I planned. I’m sorry I made you sad.” Bokuto sat beside you on the bench,
 “Bokuto are you low key confessing to me?” You looked over at him and he smiled and shook his head. 
 “Yes and let me do this properly.” He cleared his throat and held his hand out for you to grab, which you gladly accepted. “Y/N please let me be your date tonight and from here on out please!”  
 “So like boyfriend and girlfriend Bo?” You said wanting to make sure you got the message right.
 “Yes Y/N, please be my girlfriend. All that flexin on the stage was for you baby!” He stood up and flexed again making you laugh. “But in all seriousness, I freakin love you. So what do you say Y/N?” 
 “Yes. I would love nothing mo-“ Bokuto cut you off by lifting your body into his strong arms. You giggled as he swung you both in circles. He slowed down and seen you finally smile again
 “Now that’s a pretty sight, you're not going to be sad on my watch anymore. Now we better get back inside before we freeze to death!” Bokuto wrapped an arm around your shoulder as you two began to walk back. “Wait I have something for you!” He dug through his pockets and pulled out a small jewelry box and handed it to you. You opened it and there was a necklace with a small owl charm and a “B” charm next to it.
 “Bo this is so cute! Can you help me put it on!” You said handing him the necklace. He struggled to get it on but finally got it. The silver was cold on your skin, but you didn’t mind at all.
 “Omi actually helped me pick it out, believe it or not. He said if I would have went alone I would have got something stupid.” Bokuto said, sliding the jewelry box back into his coat pocket. You hate to admit it but Sakusa going was probably a good thing. 
 “Bo I really love it, thank you.” You said leaving up and kissing his cheek. “Now let’s go back, I’ve got to check in on everyone.” You walked into the ballroom with your arm hooked around Bokuto’s bicep. 
You scanned the room to see if you could find any of the guys and the only one you could see was Hinata laughing with his date. They seemed to be hitting it off pretty good. “Bokuto let’s go get something to drink.” You both walked towards the bar, you see that girl who bid on Bokuto sitting next to Osamu. They both seemed to be having a good time.
 “Thank you again! The planned worked Y/N is my girlfriend now!” Bokuto walked up to them and showed you off. 
 “I’m so glad!” The girl said, clasping her hands together. “You are a cute couple.” 
 “Speaking of a cute couple.” Osamu chimed in and pointed towards his brother Atsumu who was being dragged around by that old lady. “I may have given her some free Onigiri vouchers and a few hundred yen to bid on him.” The twin laughed at his brother's despair. 
 “Your evil, but I like it.” The girl said as they clinked their drinks together. 
 “You guys enjoy it, we still have to hunt for Omi.” You bowed and clung back on to Bokuto. 
After circulating the ballroom a few times you finally find Sakusa and the little girl sitting at a table. Sakusa looked dead tired and the little girl was stuffing her face with cake
 “Omi you look like a tired dad.” Bokuto said bursting out laughing at his teammate. 
 “I see your plan worked.” Sakusa said, looking at the necklace through tired eyes. 
 “Yes it did now this cutie is all mine.” Bokuto said peppering your cheek with kisses.
 “How disgusting, when you grow up don’t date idiots like him.” Sakusa looked at the child who just nodded her head. It was hilarious to see Omi so out of his element. “That was directed at you Bokuto not Y/N.” 
 “Omi, he is a idiot but he is my idiot.” You patted Bokuto's back. 
 “Omi-Omi let’s go dance some more. I like this song.” The little girl tugged on his jacket. 
 “Fine.” Omi sighed and followed her dance floor.
 “Now that we know everyone (for the most part) is okay let’s dance!” You said leading Bokuto to the dance floor.
 You danced to every single song and Bo didn’t break anything when the cha cha slide came on. He swung you around all night without a care in the world. 
 “Let’s end the night with something nice and slow.” The Dj said putting on (Insert your favorite slow song)
  “May I have this dance pretty girl?” Bokuto asked, holding his hand out to pull you closer to him.
 “The Macarena may have wore me out, but I guess I have enough wind in me for one last song.” You teased wrapping your arms around his neck. He pressed a kiss to your forehead and began to slowly dance you around the room. 
 You see that little girl struggling to keep up with Omi’s big steps as he attempted to dance with her, he was at least trying you thought. Hinata was slow dancing with his date of the night, they both seemed comfortable and content with each other. Atsumu was still with that granny but he seemed to have accepted defeat as he danced around with her. Osamu danced with the gym owner's daughter and made it a mission to kick his brother when they got close enough, he even messed him up enough to cause the old to hit him with the cane again. You felt Bokuto's grip tighten and he dipped you down enough to finally kiss you on the lips. He pulled away and brought you back up to continue dancing. 
“ I love you Y/N.” Bokuto spoke softly in your ear. 
 “I love you too.” You said as the song faded out.
   “And one more thing Y/N” Bokuto said, leaning down to whisper in your ear. “I told you I would have the most beautiful girl here.”

how’s life? you doin’ good? what are some ups and downs, things that make you happy? things you regret? i ask this because i noticed not much about the writer here has been asked or said
This is admittedly a bit surprising to receive. I suppose I try not to involve people with my personal life, save for those especially close to me. Thank you, for inquiring.
Life for me is at a weird point. I deployed last year to the middle east, unlike most soldiers I didn't actually stay in one nation. By lucky happenstance, and my job in the army, I got moved around a lot. I visited Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Qatar, Kuwait, Afganistan, and Syria. The most impactful experience was helping during the Kabul evacuation, it opened my eyes to a lot of things. What I wanted to do with my life, who I was as a person. It also left me with a lot of baggage I'm still fighting with. I sit around sometimes, a lot more than I like to admit, wondering why I came home and some people didn't.
But things have been on the up and up. I made some career choices. I entered into a relationship and ended said relationship. Different points in our lives. Different people, too, I suppose. It's alright though, that's just life.
I found a new DnD group, well tabletop group in general. They tend to try out a lot of games. They're also highly argumentative, but genuine people. I like playing with them for the most part. I wish I had more people to play tabletops with, it's nice working as a group or just enjoying a setting together. If you can't tell I enjoy writing a lot, stories specifically. I think the world is a dark place right now, I think that I spend a lot of my life staring into that darkness. Not out of some uh… cynicism? Nah. I try to fight that darkness, I was never the smartest person or wittiest. I'm relatively physical capable, and I know how to de-escalate dangerous situations. So I focus my efforts on that, I wish though, I wish alot, that I was smarter or more capable.
I really admire people who can leave an impact on the world not through their physical action but words, and compassion. I do not have that charismatic quality. I am happy though with what I've done, even if it places me in physical danger. It's a choice I've made, and I think ultimately, I'll do more good then bad by the end.
As for what I regret? I regret going to college. At least the college I went to. I found a lot of purpose and passion in working, I did a brief stint with the Sheriff office working in a jail. And it was extremely fulfilling for a while, working with inmates and officers. It opens your eyes to the reality of the world, it made me more world wise. But I got tired of that. After Afganistan I don't think I could do anything but this army life.
It's hard for me to speak of regrets. I guess sometimes I feel like I have a lot, and sometimes I have none. I do have wishes however. I wished, I had a little bit more time with my dad. I wish he could have seen the man I became for worst or better. I think I reflect that a lot in Hayden at times. One thing I've learned in life, is that tomorrow isn't promised for those you love. So just tell them when you have the chance. Those last goodbyes always hurt, even if time dulls it.
Thanks friend for the ask. My name is Eddie. I hope you enjoyed this walk through my life, and memory.

I have only recently got into the ace attorney fandom, and this story was the first story I read, and I feel spoiled! I absolutely loved every chapter, so I'm gonna word vomit here and tell you everything I love about this!
"She offers him a smile. It’s small, tentative, but it possesses a strength that makes a hidden part of him twist and burn with quiet envy." the first time we see nick's wish to be as strong as mia!
Considering the fact that nick didn't have any prominent figure in his life, it makes sense that he would look up to gregory so much
"Phoenix looks up, and starts walking towards Mia Fey
He doesn't stop for two years."
THE RELATIONSHIP THAT MIA AND NICK HAD WAS PRECIOUS AND DESERVES MORE THAN WHAT THE FANDOM GIVES THEM
"Larry’s arms wrap around him, squeezing almost too tight" People forget that Larry and Phoenix were good friends too, and Larry would help his best friend
"Nobody believed him, nobody but Mia" Maya is what Phoenix is to Mia and I adore that
"He wishes, desperately, that he’d said it while she was still alive. I loved you. For everything you did." Not you absolutely breaking my fucking heart
Also the first AA game felt unnatural in the sense of how seemingly unaffected Phoenix seemed at Mia's murder so I'm really glad you wrote it this way
"Expensive. Thoughtful. Too much." SHUT UP NICK YOU DESERVE ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING
Also quick break to mention how I absolutely fucking love your writing style and i wish I was literally half as talented as you cuz the last time I read something that made me feel this multitude of emotions was ocean vuong. And I practically worship Ocean Vuong. So now I worship you too
"You're a stranger to me // When will I stop hoping?" I never really realised just how badly nick musta been hurt by good ol' bratworth before this fic, but now that I have read it, it would have hurt him so bad
"Is this why you never answered my letters? Because I was a reminder? Because it hurt too much?" Honestly what happened to miles and phoenix's friendship hurts so much because it should have never happened, and miles didn't deserve that.
"Maybe Miles Edgeworth is not the man he thought he’d be, either." yo when I tell you this hurt I mean this huRT
Fun fact! My birthday is on the same day as DL-6 anniversary. Gregory Edgeworth died on my birthday. I feel horrible now
"monster. You were nine years old and he's a monster. " No one has made me feel this much emotion for what happened to Miles in a single sentence other than you. I commend you for that
"I love you," he says quietly. He has never said those words to anyone, except for Dahlia Hawthorne.
Maya sniffs in his ear, crushing him tight. "I love you, too."
He has never heard them back.
PHOENIX HAS NEVER HEARD THE WORDS " I LOVE YOU" COME BACK TO HIM ARE YOU FUCKING WITH ME WHY NOW I'M SAD
"Tell me everything. Every detail—" Miles is worried bout nick and why wouldn't he? gods you're so gay miles but tbf if I knew someone like nick irl i'd go ballistic too
"He determined the motive for his own assault...with amnesia. Naturally." My man's smart af and he is king
"Is that what she thinks of me? That I'm like that? That I don't care about who the bad guys really are?" Gumshoe noooo you're hella precious! Also this particular chapter was so well written! loved this soo much!
Also taking a minute to appreciate the pacing! Rarely do I ever come across an author who just hits that sweet spot of perfect pacing and you did! so thank you!
Alright so here are a few thoughts that I felt capcom needed to do which you did for us!
no. 1 - Address the trauma phoenix faced with not only dahlia but also with mia's death
no. 2 - Actually fucking flesh out a good relationship dynamic between larry and phoenix
no. 3 - actually! have! phoenix! be hurt! in bridge to turnabout! istg my man would not have dropped from a burning bridge to a freezing river only to have a cold
AUNT FRANZY AND PEARLS MAN!
THEY CUTE
ok so I have a LOT of feelings for bridge to turnabout and HOO BOY BUCKLE UP
So I always thought that in this fic, miles must have felt fucking awful! I mean he very clearly hates who he was and what that has led to but that must have been doubled over with this case! Phoenix would have died if not for mia and it would have been indirectly miles's fault. I think about that alot
Like he said that he very much regrets whatever he did as bratworth in the phone call with gumshoe but i don't think he anticipated this. poor edgeworth
Also I think this was the final nail in the coffin for miles. Phoenix forgave him, after all the fucked up shit miles did, and that made that man go "how is this guy so fucking compassionate awwwww shit I'm in fucking love with this idiotic brave man".
my main thoughts were "holy shit phoenix must have been feeling awful." like to learn that you were in love with a person who turned out to be a murderer but then not a murderer cuz everything you felt about that was real and just...... it must have hurt. He never fell in love with dahlia. it was iris, always. and WHAT ABOUT MILES DURING THIS!!! Like to learn that the man you love was falsely led to believe that he was in love with a person he rarely met and then learn that his ex who is not murderous might still be in love with him because "that was real. that part was real." like damn. people just gloss over this
also I feel terrible for iris F in the chat for iris lads.
Dahlia literally haunting that courtroom scene. I felt mia's power. I felt her desperation. I felt everything and I am once again in awe of the absolute power your writing holds.
also godsdamn pearls had to go through all that shit huh. also FRANMAYAAAAAA THANK YOUUUU
I too, am a hoe confused as to what I should feel towards diego.
Ok anyways we jump to disbarment now
"He just winks at her and says Maya has other talents, and if Mystic Maya overhears, she puffs up at him like the fish from the aquarium she saw once, the one with all the spikes and silly eyes."
you know what constantly amazes me? your ability to change tones so effortlessly. When writing from edgey's pov, the language is sophisticated. precise. when writing from pearly's pov your language is simplistic, child-like. from phoenix's pov it's natural. grounded
"She never knew anybody who made faces like him, growing up in Kurain, and it’s one of the things that makes him special." Yo phoenix is the most amazing uncle ever and we all know it ok he's brilliant
I'M RUNNING OUT OF CHARACTER LIMITS
PEARLY CALLING EDGEY AT FIRST SIGN OF TROUBLE I'M SOFFFFTTTT
“I think I did something really bad." trucy baby no it's not your fault
pearl and trucy bonding supremacy. my girls would fuck shit up
"She’d meant to do this properly, one day." Thank you for giving importance to maya's feelings. thank you for treating her like a real human being. thank you
“Everything that happened...for what? It’s only gotten people hurt. Pearly. Our mother.” Me. Me." I felt so bad for maya here. I wish I could tell you in precise words about how this exact framing of the sentence is what broke me. "me. me" maya deserved more, but mia did all she could
"What do scared kids need? ...Food." not you breaking my godsdamn heart again. phoenix just knows what's it like being a helpless child, and he'll be damned if he ever lets anyone face that again
“‘Course, Pearls,” he says reflexively, before frowning. “What for?” reflexively. if every man in the world could be like phoenix wright then the world would be worthy of the gods
"Another one?" give it 2 years edgey she'll be your daughter too
"after countless hours creating the man’s living space in his mind from the background snatches he’d seen in the man’s ridiculous video calls." NOT ONLY DO THEY VC FOR NO PARTICULAR REASON BUT ALSO MILES ACTUALLY SPENDS TIME TRYING TO RECREATE HIS ROOM?? BECAUSE HE WOULD ONE DAY LIKE TO BE IN IT??? good gods these bitches gay. good for them
"because just as day is light and night is dark, Phoenix Wright is an honorable man." damn straight. you love to see it (it being a 27+ year old man pining for another 27+ year old man)
also hey miles! how do you feel about the fact that the man you love changed his fucking major and degrees halfway through college just so he could see you again only for you to be incredibly rude to him and make him end up in jail! (i bully edgeworth cuz i love him)
"Wright finishes, shrugging like it’s nothing, like his commitment and belief isn’t the most extraordinary thing that Miles has ever faced." it's more than pining at this point. it's incredible faith and trust. Miles had someone who cared about him even after all those years despite him having changed so drastically, ofc he would be surprised. Miles loves phoenix and so do i.
also HOT DAMN YOU WRITING IS JUST * MWAH *
Also the whole segment where they kiss is just !!!!! miles wants! it's beautiful! THEY'RE IN LOVEEE
receiving poisonous bottles which your ex tried to kill you with. My man can't get a break huh
Miles being chivalrous and protective and absolutely stealing my godsdamn heart (and phoenix's too)!
Klavier being the absolute king that he is we stan
The hostage situation section? gods miles must have been terrified.
Phoenix not being able to promise pearly that he'd always come back home and miles hearing it and like... ouch. my heart. you didn't need to do that (but i love your for it)
GODS THE CLIMAX WITH KRISTOPH WAS SOOO SATISFYING AND LIKE MY MAN PHOENIX REALLY PUNCHED THAT BITCH HUH
klavier baby I am so sorry
ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL!
and thus my comment ends. I believe I have almost used up all of my commenting limits and i leave with these few parting words : HOLY SHIT YOUR AMAZING AND I LOVE YOU!
also I made a playlist on spotify for this fic! here's the link : https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3k8lRHiO8ZXQDLpiTUL7SN?si=fc3b35b4ab064867
gods this was long huh
GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY....WHERE DO I BEGIN...THE FACT THAT YOU BROKE THE CHARACTER LIMIT ON AO3 AND MADE A PLAYLIST? WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS?
thank you so much for all the amazing things you said....i am crying on a Wednesday morning knowing my writing was appreciated this much. thank you!

My friend, Lorelei.
Could’ve had it all.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ethan watched as Lorelei Figgs signed off on the contract he’d given her to read over three days ago, wondering about how Grayson would react when Ethan ultimately decided the perfect time to drop the not so convenient bombshell that he’d gone ahead and hired a new assistant.
Yes, in hindsight, it was a decision they as business partners and brothers were supposed to do so together. But with Grayson in the content and unbothered relaxed state he was thriving in back in Jersey, Ethan didn't want to be the villain in the story. He wanted Grayson to be okay, him not being okay meant Ethan wasn't okay and when they both weren’t okay? it spelt chaos for all involved. Someone who understood that perfectly and knew how to manage that was Adele. For a year it had been Adele. It still confused the fuck out of Ethan as to why Adele had approached him not two weeks ago, it would forever be a mystery. But an alternate decision he, as a friend and boss, accepted. 
“I didn't even know you were thinking about quitting.” Ethan sighed with a heavy heart as he stood from his chair. “You okay? Need some more time off? Gray and i can always make changes for you, you’re way too valuable to lose Adele, so don't give me that crap about not being good at your job.” Adele chuckled as she sniffled, tears welling as she nodded.
“I didn't even know you were thinking about quitting.” Ethan sighed with a heavy heart as he stood from his chair. “You okay? Need some more time off? Gray and i can always make changes for you, you’re way too valuable to lose Adele, so don't give me that crap about not being good at your job.” Adele chuckled as she sniffled, tears welling as she nodded.
“I don't even know what else to say besides it's just time for me to move on, can't be an assistant all my life, you know? Besides, mums have been pushing for me to go to college and I think she's right.” Ethan wasn't about to lie to himself, the timing was incredibly inconvenient. With Grayson slowly descending into a darker, deeper hole by the hour? Ethan felt the overwhelming pressure of finding a new assistant just as reliable as Adele had been. 
Adele had a heart of pure gold, Ethan knew that from the second she signed on the dotted line to single handedly keep him and his equally as chaotic twin in order. Organise their lives so to speak. But Ethan had no clue as to why Adele so easily gave up a job that made work seem like living. It would be hard to find a job that lived up to the work environment Ethan and Grayson Dolan provided her with. The benefits. The pay grade. 
Adele had one reason and one reason only: Her friend, Lorelei. 
“Thanks again, really--i mean i know i probably wasn't the most experienced person you could have picked but i appreciate the opportunity.” lorelei pushed back the contact she’d signed with no hesitation, watching as Ethan smiled. 
“Adele's word meant a lot more to me than anything on paper, so I guess you're welcome?” Ethan chuckled. “Anyway, so, you start tomorrow, we’ll go over everything on the DT laptop but there's a welcome to the team package on the kitchen bench for you, its go a few hoodies, candles, laptop--”
“Shit, wait” Lorelei covered her mouth as Ethan laughed, standing from his chair and opening the door, leading Lorelei down the hall towards the kitchen. “This is insane, why would you do that?” 
“You think that's over the top? They brought me an apartment” Mando piped in from the lounge, playing with his camera. “Welcome to the team by the way! Im Mando.” he stood quickly, smiling bright as he shook Lorelei’s hands gently. 
“Lorelei! But my friends call me Lori--”
“I like that, that's a dope name.” Ethan couldn't help but laugh at Mando. 
“Anyway, this is all yours, take it home, if you need help setting the laptop up bring outback tomorrow and I'll run through it with you, Mando can always help too, so don't be afraid to ask. He’s had like 55 jobs so he's basically a genius”
“I know little about alot” He responded, sending Lorelei herself into a deep rooted laugh. Dropping her head with a soft smile as Ethan led her out the door to the drive, forever grateful to be given a second chance at life. Feeling dizzy as she struggled to place her Nasal cannula around her head. Twisting the little tank to reverse that hit she needed. Her head falling back against her seat as she closed her eyes and sat panicked in her car down the road. 
“You’re good” Lorelei sighed as she started her car. “You’re good, You’re good, You’re good, You’re good.” remembering how not three months ago she couldn't do it on her own. Adele playing her cards close to her chest, said nothing, to noone. 
“I'm gonna take care of you Lore, He’ll never hurt you again.” holding Lorelei's hand as she waited for an ambulance. “I'm so sorry i didn't see it'' Lorelei tried to speak, but her jaw wouldn't move. Busted and broken and bloodied and bruised to no end. She looked like roadkill. Half dead and left to die. Sitting in her car she opened her eyes. Wiping away tears as she calmed herself down from the near panic attack that had her feeling like she couldn't breathe. It was true though, she couldn't sometimes. Having just handed in her contract had her gasping for air as she walked down the driveway. Ethan was stoked Lorelei had turned out to be everything Adele had made her out to be already. 
Now all he had to do now? was tell Grayson.

Collar x Malice (Kei & Mineo) Review
Will Include Spoilers
So I decided to go ahead and post my review of Kei & Mineo since the game is about alot of death I'm taking a break and will come back soon and play the other 3 routes for now though Kei is still my favorite even in Mineo's story Kei is still great.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kei Okazaki
Tumblr media
The moment I first saw him climb through the window I thought he was cute. He originally was my second choice of guys then he started talking and seemed like a pure idiot I questioned if he would be so good after all. I am glad however I went with him because he grew on me fast. The longer I looked at him the more I could say he was drawn so damn pretty, I could look at him all day. He liked to show pda holding hands and that was so damn sweet. Then to find out he is against women being hurt and his loyalty to take care of a special person in his life that he would die for them this really caught my attention about him. His possessive streak was adorable and I loved every time he made comments like only let me in your house, or let me only walk you home, or don't make things for the other guys or when he snapped at Shiraishi told him not to pick on you as well as said he will never give permission to allow it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He isn't the best with stuff like house work, cooking and such but he will bring flowers, hold hands, snuggle up and watch movies well horror movies with you. He is so sweet that even when you like him he is flirty a bit but the moment you tell him you want him to keep doing it dominant mode kicks in. This I wasn't expecting in him pinning you to the floor or when he makes it clear he wants to be super close to you he is definitely a naughty boy with his partner. He will always jump in front to protect you when anyone tries to harm you, he likes to send cute texts with emojis and call you cause he misses your voice. Honestly these are all the little things that made him such a great guy and my favorite so far.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Only downfall and I know people are wishy washy on is the fact as the mc you also find out he wanted to die all along but for a special person so it was a death worth dying for. I know people question if he ever really loved her until the very end because he was using her. I feel like Kei is naïve, and not the best with common sense at time however a great at his job anything else outside that he lacks. However that being said I think he was in love alot longer than the end he just didn't know what to call it. I mean come on you can't tell me all the times he got jealous as time went on where he didn't want to share his time or even little things like being the only guy in her apartment or snuggles with the movies. I mean even when he was very clear to Shiraishi when he told him to knock off picking at you unless he says its ok then he makes it clear he will never give his say so.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The pinky finger thing and the fact when it comes to crying when he hurts he shows his pain loud and clear. Yes he was just a hurting soul that needed someone to show he was valued and loved also that he deserved to live. He held a grudge in himself cause his partner died protecting him this made him a sad boy. I mean he didn't even understand why your mad at him until you truly have to show him what he is missing. Then the fact your willing to die for him and he almost loses you it bout kills him as he thought your last words was going to be I love you, it about breaks him. Sadly in the bad end it does break him and he wants to die but promised you he would live so he tried even though the bad guy kills you anyways. Honestly its not hard to love him if you love sad boys like me. If I had to compare him to someone I put compare him to piofiore a cross between Dante, Nicola and Leo together. This mans pain brought me to tears in the good and the bad ending his pain is deep and its hard not be suffering with him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mineo Enomoto
Tumblr media
At first I thought he would be cool but he was annoying pretty fast and even after about a chapter in his very presence annoyed me. However after I got to his route I really thought he ended up quiet sweet. The blushing idiot type haha but no seriously he is younger than Kei and you can tell it for sure. Like I love how he blushes and gets shy I'm a sucker for these men however Mineo blows it out of proportion at times its not the shy guy part its the annoying practically screaming at you if you call him out on it. Like most shy guys you tell them you know they are into you and they blush harder and get more quiet he is the opposite so after some time it does get to you. He is cute his mumbles as he goes along like when he was drunk and he practically proposes to you the next day, or tells you as you take rice off his face that its what he always wanted a lover to do. These things and the fact he will beat the shit out of someone who tries to hurt you. He shows that when he comes across the guys in the alleyway that are trying to make you strip.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He is a big brother type to his little sister and is absolutely adorable about how he dotes so much about her. Then he has that protective daddy feel to him when he talks about her making me think he would make a good daddy if you could even get this boys virginity in the first place. Its nice he works at trying to get your brother to stop being dick to you, which is so needed. I do like the outcome of your brother and you by the end of this route. I love Kei is still a sweetie even in this route and loves to bust Mineo's balls. He tells Aiji what he sees when Mineo's drunk and yet the way he says it makes it sound like more than what it is. Even to the point later in the game he asks if he was announcing marriage after that. When Mineo practically screams and denies everything, Kei's charm kicks in and tells you to call him Kei as he calls you by your name, this makes Mineo jealous and starts asking you to call him Mineo. Then this dynamic gets weird cause he tells you to call his name again and when you do he wants more I swear dude was getting off on this or at least excited lol.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I really would say he is a bean in the end just has alot of growing up to do. His story with his old mentor getting killed was sad but I'm glad as time went on he was able to heal from that. Also unlike Kei Mineo was not all nice in the beginning he was kind of a ass and when your walking home alone he tells you he won't walk you. That being said when he does care for you he will come back and get you and make sure your ok. He is like a walking contradiction I'm learning that if he loves you or is interested then you have his interest to care if not he doesn't give a rats ass about you. He is a romantic and will take a girl on a date and doesn't mind paying if she wants a nice place to go. I tried to play his route late at night in my house and I either had to wear a headset or mute it cause he was so loud in his route with his screams and freak outs. I would suggest you not play his route anywhere you need to be quiet.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
There were moments he was serious like when he confesses his love to you there is no blushing guy no overly loud bullshit just sensitive sweet Mineo that you know is underneath. I do like him but I just can't deal with the constant screaming even when you tell him you love him he seems to think your lying or he is dreaming. I feel like the MC really could see herself falling for Kei I don't think she could see herself falling for Mineo I think she even second guessed herself alot. Even his bad endings weren't really sad per say like I cried nothing and really didn't even feel much the endings. They seemed to be worse endings for the MC not as much Mineo. I hate at one bad ending she loses her brother and goes on a killing the killer. Then the one that was the saddest was when she killed the bad guy but yet fled the town to leave Mineo yet he understood he did it to protect him and he forgave her yet she couldn't forgive herself I felt bad for him only then still no tears though.

Inspiration: ghost of you -5sos
a/n; Hi!! It's been ages since I last wrote, im so sorry😭 but I'm back in business baby!! Anyway I hope you all don't cry too much, so some warnings just in case your sensitive; like me.
Warnings: mention of death, potential rickroll?? Interpret it however you want to ig?, angst.
Wordcount: 1093
-
ᴛᴏᴍᴍʏ ᴡᴀs ɴᴇᴠᴇʀ ᴀɴ ᴇᴍᴏᴛɪᴏɴᴀʟ ᴘᴇʀsᴏɴ. He wasn't good with controlling or expressing his emotions as clearly as other kids his age. Unless y/n was around. Till they weren't.
Keep Reading As said before, Tommy wasn't good with emotions, so when he found out that y/n had run away, long story short, he wasn't happy.. "Run away?!" "Yes, they-" "Pft! As if! Why would they run away?? They had family and a home here!! Give me a reason as to why they would run away!" "Sir we know this is alot to take in, but we really need you to calm dow-" "CALM DOWN?! You want me to calm down?? Are you even listening to what your saying right now?" Tommy would not believe a word that the authorities would tell him, so he decided to just ignore every time they contacted him. It was quite hard as his family and friends were getting concerned as to how badly he was taking the news of y/n running away so they decided it was best to not tell him anything. Unfortunately, a few weeks later, the police found y/n dead near the woods, their favourite spot. (Y/n's favourite spot not the police-) Needless to say, Tommy's family did not tell him as he wouldn't even come out of his room or be his bubbly and lively self. Even his fans began to grow suspicious of his behaviour as his streams weren't as lively anymore and how less Tommy would upload videos to his channel or post something on social media. [Twitter] (Username): Has anyone heard from Tommy lately?? 23,000 Likes  10,000 Retweets Even his streaming friends wouldn't tell their fans anything as they didn't want Tommy to get even more upset then he already was. [Donation] (Username): Hi Will!! Glad your streaming :)) Have you heard from Tommy yet? Any new vlogs in the making?? The whole mood of the stream changed after that donation. Wilbur was supposed to show his stream Lovejoy's new songs from their upcoming album, but he seemed to tense up as soon as that donation came up.. "Uh.. sorry chat, it's been great to see you all again but I just remembered I have to go pick up something from my parents house so.. I'll end the stream here. Bye!" Sadly, the truth must be revealed, even if we don't want it to. So, eventually, Tommy found out what had happened to y/n.. He didn't take the news lightly. "What do you mean 'their dead'?!" "Well, we tried to tell you sooner bu-" "So you knew before?? How long have you known." "..." "Tell Me!!" "2 months.." "2 mon- Let me get this straight. You knew, for 2 months, 2 whole months!! Y/n was dead, but you decided 'Eh. He'll find out eventually! He'll be fine!!' And you just didn't bother to tell me?? Not even give me hints??" "..." "I can't believe this." That was the last thing he said before he ran upstairs, slammed and looked his bedroom door and would not speak. To anyone. All everyone outside his room would hear was: (NOT A RICKROLL I PROMISE I THOUGHT IT WAS QUITE FITTING TO DANCE LESSON MUSIC) We're no strangers to love You know the rules and so do I A full commitment's what I'm thinking of You wouldn't get this from any other guy I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling Gotta make you understand Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you We've known each other for so long Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it Inside we both know what's been going on We know the game and we're gonna play it And if you ask me how I'm feeling Don't tell me you're too blind to see Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you Never gonna give, never gonna give (Give you up) We've known each other for so long Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it Inside we both know what's been going on We know the game and we're gonna play it I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling Gotta make you understand Never gonna give you up Never gonna
let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Tommy was in pieces. His heart was shattered. He was never as close to anyone like he was to y/n, even his close friends. I mean, y/n was his older sibling, who he got along really great with, of course he'd be devasted when he heard the terrible news; they were dead. Y/n used to give him daily dance lessons and they would always dance around their living room to 'Never gonna give you up' since it was y/n's favourite song, which Tommy grew to love and enjoy. He and y/n would sing the lyrics everyday, everywhere. No matter where, no matter the time. Y/n was the first person who actually understood him, who knew how he felt, who knew how to handle him and his emotions without making him paranoid or go into a fit. That's what was so special about y/n. They never got into any arguments because y/n knew what to do. Every. Single. Time. But now with y/n gone, Tommy realised he had no one who understood him.. Sure, his friends and fantasy may say they understand, but no one, no one understood him like y/n did. So, Tommy turned to his only friend, dancing in his room and then finally getting brave enough to leave his room and dance in the living room.

(TW // MENTIONS OF DEATH)
Girl, I know you love me
Even though your parents
They don't fucking trust me
Typical story of good girl meets bad boy. You were working at an ice cream parlor when he walked in. You didn't know he would change your life forever.
He held so much command and power in his walk. His presence demanded respect. Yet, the rowdy group of boys he was with made him seem just a little more approachable.
"Hello, welcome to ___ ____ ice cream shoppe. What can we get started for you today?" Your coworker smiled, his gaze still stuck on you. Your body was situated behind your coworker and to the side where you were refilling some toppings. You tried to turn away and keep to yourself, but you felt his line of vision blow holes into your back.
"Can I please have 6 chocolate sundaes and 1 peach shaved ice?" His voice was like liquor. It was warm yet made you a little tipsy in the head.
"Of course, ₩19,500 please." His hand reached out. A black card being dangled in his fingertips. "We will get those out to you as quick as we can." She smiled as she returned his card.
The group sat down at a large table. The shoppe was still bare for a hot summer night. The quietness made it that more enjoyable.
You pretended to wipe down the corner as you couldn't help googly eyes toward the boy who sat at the head of the group's table. He seemed like a natural leader. He had taken his jean jacket off to reveal a cuffed T-shirt with tattoo ink spilling out of the sleeves.
A red and black dragon laid on his arm, snaking up his bicep as if it was trying to introduce and make itself known. A sinister smirk laid on the face of the Beast you were taught to fear.
You left the counter and went over to your working coworker. You hit her arms and she groaned looked over to you. "They're apart of Neo Culture." You babbled and she looked at you as if you had grown 15 heads. "No way-" "Look at his tattoo." You whined quietly and you watched the fear grow into her eyes slowly.
"Oh my God." Her figure became stiff and you just stood there, afraid of moving wrongly.
"If I have to tell you guys to shut up one more time, I'm putting you all in the car and driving all the way back home." The boy's voice boomed through the small space and made your coworker drop her metal scoop and grabbed you to shield her.
All eyes were on her and you. "You guys okay?" One of the shorter boys asked and you nodded quickly. "More than okay. Perfect, actually. Absolutely wonderful." You nodded and they chuckled to themselves.
"Pull yourself together woman!" You scolded as you hit her arms again.
"Get them their desserts. Just...be calm." You said and she got back to a steady pace of work.
It was like an instant and she had all of them done and ready to go out. "I'm not doing it. The one who goes closest is the one who gets killed first." She said shoving you toward the tray.
You just rolled your eyes and picked it up quickly.
You walked around the corner and all of their chattering abruptly stopped once you approached silently.
"wow you were quiet." The tattoo'ed boy said with a chuckle. "I get that alot actually." Your laugh came out a little rushed. "Who had the shaved ice?" You asked and the boy with a pink tinged head of hair raised his hand. You handed it to him and passed out all the ice cream.
You were walking back when you thought you were home free. "Miss. You dropped this." You turned around and were met face to face with Mr. Liquor himself.
His hand held a piece of paper and you took it kindly. "Thank you so much." You smiled and you both turned and separated.
You watched as he walked back and put his coat back on. "y/l/n is gonna come any second." Your last name falling off his lips so suddenly and smoothly.
Some of the boys groaned as they all got up. As if on que, your dad walks through the front door of the shoppe.
"I said don't come back here, Mark." His smile fell once he saw the tattoo'ed boy. "I was just treating my boys to a sweet surprise. Nothing more, y/l/n." He raised his hands in defense.
"Why did you serve them?!" Your dad's anger was now being pointed towards you.
"Hey. Leave her out of it. She didn't know who we were." Mark's voice became more elevated and commanding as your dad's face grew more red. The heavy feeling of doing something wrong growing in your chest.
"Don't tell me how to speak to my daughter." Your dad's finger pointing in Mark's face. "Daughter?" He asked as if it was surprise. "This makes it even better." A cocky smirk replacing his stone cold glare.
"I told you to stay out, you and your flea-ridden gang." You've never heard your father use such harsh words towards another human. Your dad stepping close to Mark and the rest of his group. Yet, Mark didn't back down as he handed his ice cream to his friend.
"I didn't bring trouble this time. We've been paying our dues for a while now-" "That doesn't mean shit. I told you and your leader that I didn't want anyone of you coming in and messing with me or my business...or family." Your dad said coming around the counter to the register.
"We get it. We'll leave." They were headed out the door, Mark trailing his group when your dad had another slick comment. "You and your Neo Culture rats need to know your place. Might as well sell his land to another group." He said and you thought you could hear the rubber of Mark's shoes screech on the concrete.
He turned around, his friends continuing without him. Your dad knew he fucked up as the door slammed and Mark locked it.
"Excuse me?" He asked, sauntering over to the counter. "Wanna run that by me again?" He asked, his fingers motioning your frozen father to repeat his last words.
Mark had the coldest glare that could make the devil run in fear. "Say it with your chest...or not at all." He growled and gave one last look to you; a softness becoming apparent in his stare.
He unlocked the door and walked across the street to an all black SUV. Getting in, he sped away with a look of hatred to the shoppe.
Your father gulped loudly, still frozen in fear and shock.
"Don't get wound up in mafia drama, girls. It'll only make you lose sleep and safety." He grabbed a pint of ice cream and retreated to the back room.
Your hands unfolded the piece of paper in your hands and was met with neat handwriting.
'hope to see you here more often ;) -mark'
You know you shouldn't love me
Sneaking around with Mark was hard. From having him spend the night at your house without your parents knowledge to you sneaking back in right before your mom called for breakfast.
Mark taught you how to feel new emotions. Like guilt...and lust...and love.
"You need to find someone else." His words were hesitant as your fingers traced over his dragon tattoo for what felt like the millionth time.
You sat up, his arm coming from around you to behind his head. You looked down at him, his figure laid on your bedding so nicely.
"What?" Your voice was laced with confusion. "You know you shouldn't love me, y/n." His hand came up to put a piece of hair behind your ear.
"But I do." Your voice was soft and silky. "That's not just going to change because you say so, Mark." you reasoned as you turned to sit facing him.
It was your turn to now play and move his black hair out of his face. "It needs to though." He sat up along with you.
"no." Firmness was your only option at this point. "What?" His dumbfounded expression had you rethinking your approach.
"why do you want me to find someone else?" The question was met with a surprisingly clear answer. "I don't deserve you. You can do way better than me." His words were soft yet held a powerful blow.
"I'm only going to get you hurt-" you broke off his rambling with a kiss. He didn't hesitate...telling you all you needed to know.
"I'm in this with you. Not just because I'm bored." You said, barely backing away. He nodded, his eyes still trained on your lips.
"And really? You really thought I would listen to you? Find someone better? You're ridiculous."
Looking for God,
Put you Down on your knees,
I'm all what you want...but not what you need
"For God's sake just kill me already!" You screamed at the men who had taken you away from your happiness. It had been 4 days of agonizing torture of your freedom being stripped away like it was nothing.
The tears had been never ending as they teased you with death. At this point, it looked like the freedom you were craving.
"Please." You begged but the small group could only laugh.
The concrete corner of the room had become home to your broken and tired body. "We're not going to be killing anyone." One of them spoke from the small table. "Well, not you atleast." He waved you off.
"Then who?! You fucking-" "your little boy toy." The tears had dried up to your core. "no." Disbelief had washed over your body.
"now we found what gets to her." the three of them congratulated themselves with another shot of liquor.
"he should be coming any minute now, actually." "and he's gonna beat all of your asses." And as if on que, mark along with a couple of his fellow associates walked into the big concrete room.
"Mark!" You screamed even though he could see you as soon as he walked through the old door. He could only smile very small. "Okay you can release her now. Tie him up." The 3 words sent you reeling back into the corner so they couldn't touch your restraints.
They pulled at your body but you kicked and bit, screaming bloody murder to have them not take the zip ties off.
Then it was all over. All the kicking and the grabbing. Mark.
His soothing presence had calmed you down so quickly. "Come on, you need to get out of here." He pulled at you carefully. "And then me and you can go be together." You stated but he never met you with the confirmation you were craving.
"You need to leave, y/n." He hugged you once the zip ties were off. Your arms held onto him as if he was a god himself.
"you're coming with me." you stated but you felt the shaking in his chest.
"leave. y/n." he ordered, grabbing your shoulders and shaking you into reality. His puffy and red eyes told you that you would be leaving alone.
"I am not leave-leaving. I'm not leaving without you, Mark." You grabbed him equally as hard.
"This is reality, y/n. Only one of us can leave alive. That was the deal." He grabbed your face. "All. Or none." You countered.
"They don't care about you-" "tick tock." They spoke. You saw the two other associates sitting on their knees. They were muttering to themselves. Absorbed in self-reflection and asking any higher being to forgive them before their confirmed fate.
"but I do. And I am making sure you are leaving here alive." He started pulling you up. "it's meaningless without you-" "not time to be poetic and shit, y/n." He started pushing and pulling at you but you wouldn't budge and started fighting against him.
"30 seconds and nobody is leaving alive." The man barked. Tears started to fall from Mark's eyes. "Please. My dying wish. Please. Leave." He begged, grabbing your hands and trying to pull.
"no. Mark." You started slapping his hands.
"15."
He just stopped and stared at you. "I told you, Mark." You said calmly, grabbing his face. "I'm here with you." You smiled very weakly.
"5."
"and I'll be with you forever." the next moments were as if you were looking at you both from an aerial view. you were ripped away from eachother and kicked down to your knees.
"face eachother." you both moved quickly to see eachother's tear streaked faces.
"any last words?" you heard the click and felt the cool metal on your head.
this was it.
you weren't going to get your paycheck this week.
you were never going to see the new action movie with mark like you had planned.
no more lasted night snacks turning into early morning breakfasts.
you wouldn't exist in the next 5 minutes.
but you were okay. you were getting your wish.
your last waking moments were looking into the beautiful eyes of your soulmate. you were already in heaven.
"I'm sorry...and I love you." He choked and the eyes were rolling from the captors.
"You?" You felt a nudge from the metal and you could only open and close your mouth like a fish out of water. "I love you too. Please wait for me on the other side."
He sighed, nodding lowly and grabbing the man's barrel. He repositioned it from the side of his head to his crown. "Please make it quick." Mark swallowed his pride, seeing you tremble in fear from your death wish being granted. You were fucking insane...but he was happy he wasn't dying alone.
"please let her go to a happy place." was his last wish.
"for all the brothers we lost along the way, and for the ones that will be lost because of these deaths. we pay respect to you."
You took a deep breath and clenched your teeth for impact...it was all cold.
~~
You woke up in a huff, grabbing the sheets next to you. It was bare...yet warm.
"Mark?" You called out roughly. The warm sun streamed through your window in long rays.
"Mark?!" You called louder, getting out of the warm sheets and running out of the familiar feeling bedroom.
There he was. In the kitchen, making breakfast. "Oh look at sleeping beauty." His crisp white tee shirt and unscathed face had you reeling in disbelief. "It felt so real." You choked quietly.
"huh?" He looked at you with a face that would usually send you laughing.
"it was a dream?" The question had him suddenly putting down the cooking utensil. He only stood infront of you and looked at your confused face in adoration.
"we're okay." his voice sounded strained. He grabbed your hand, swallowing the lump in his throat, he had the guts to look in your eyes.
"we turned out okay in the end."

Tw: toxic relationship / emotional manipulation at the end / non-con use of drugs.
Tumblr media
In the harsh forests of Siberia, there lays a forlorned man kneeling in the ground ; as he observed his sole friend being eaten by the serrated teeth of the snow.
He didn't know which is worse the icy winds that threatens to graze his skin, or the empty void that keeps on growing gradually to enrapture him in a spectral of sorrow; leaving him without a light and any shred of hope.
Not that it mattered anyways, Vladimir was born alone; lived his life alone and probably will die alone.
When the hamster drowned completely ; the man grumbled and stood up to make away to his estranged family whom visits him scarcely in his shack of solitude.
●◉◎◈◎◉●
" приве́т, брат. как дела? ", a familiar care-free voice echoed through the Siberian larch shack.
" Здравствуйте, младшая сестра.Я в поря́дке", replied Vladimir in a monotone tone.
A few minutes have passed, yet the situation kept on getting awkward between the estranged siblings. Until, Dunya abruptly disturbed the silence with her sugary voice.
" Brother, l may not visit you frequently. However, I fret alot about how negligent you've recently become not only toward us, but also toward yourself. So, I have an idea to remedy your desolation. ," the Belarusian suggeted awaiting the response of the reticent male.
"What that may be ? It won't work. No matter any attempt I've conducted to burn the memory. At best it haunts me, at worst, it depletes me.", came the cynical voice of the large man who is huddled beside the fireplace.
"Please understand that I give you my word that this time you'll- , she was cut off by Vladimir.
"No! You lack understandment. If you did understand me back then, why did abandon me? Now, don't try to manipulate me with your sugar-coated words,dear sister", his voice filled with loathe and disregard toward his traitor of a sister. Not that she was of his own blood, which proves his point people are discrenibly not to be trusted.
At one point, they'll take what they want from you; and then they will abandon you at any chance they get. He wont let it happen to him again. Never again.
As he ignored the wailing of his pathetic sister to stay and consider ; he left his shack and decided to go to the nearest town to meet one of the few people he came to trust. (Y/n).
His beloved snowflake.
His latest hope, that he'll make sure to persevere this time.
It's his turn to be selfish and take his reward for all the years of agony and loneliness.
●◉◎◈◎◉●
A jingle was heard notifying you that a customer came. Only to be pleasantly surprised, that it was the the russian regular customer; Vladimir.
Well,at first he intimidated you; with his structure,lack of expression,and his nihilistic attitude. With time, as you got to know him better he is such a fascinating and kind man despite the rumors spread about him.
The enormous brunette approached you with a stoic expression decorating his visage, however you knew better that he was glum.
"What seems to trouble you,Vlad? You appear to be out of it today, more than the usual?", you asked concerned about him; considering Vlad repress his emotion which isn't a healthy outlet as of you red about.
Another thing, he cherishes about you that your concerns and frets are genuine. Alongside, your intellect that sparked both his mind and heart alike.
" Нет, just stressed. I want to talk to you,if you're not busy.", he huffed as he inserted his large hands inside the pockets of his overcoat.
" No, not all. Considering I am about to close the shop now. I don't mind accompany you. Just give me a momento~ and I'll be ready.", as you left to close the shop; you didn't notice the ghost of a smile contorting through the face of the brunette russian.
●◉◎◈◎◉●
"So, what are up to,Vlady? and care to share why were you upset? I don't want to be pushy, but If you'd like to share then I am all ears", you remarked and poked the towering man inflicting a warm feeling inside his heart. Just like the sun he rarely saw.
Sighing, as he began to retell about what happened a month ago along with recent happenings.
The way, he spoke about his best friend passing hurt your heart- reflecting your true nature as an empath- and the cold anger of his when he spoke about his family.
You wondered what happened to represent such hate. No matter, what matters now is to bring Vladimir spirits up.
"Say, what would you like me to do to bring your hopes up? Anything you'd like!", as you encircled your arms around his waist or in your case below his stomach.
The warmth of your bodice and it softness clashed against his rough and cold ones made him realize, how much of an important factor you represent in his wretched life with his wretched family and wretched luck.
In addition, if anyone did what you did he will forcefully push them aside. But, you! you are his everything as much as he will be your everything soon enough.
Now, the door of opportunities had granted him this chance to enrapture you in his grasp forevermore; thus he will take it with an iron firm hands.
"да,please. Follow me to my lodge,маленький", offering his hands to you.
Grasping his hands, you began to walk aside him to his abode.
●◉◎◈◎◉●
Nothing,but the howling of the wind was heard ; as the both of you strolled toward his domicile. Vladimir reached his pockets to grab the keys and open the inky door.
"Such an interesting and intricate place you got,Vlad. Did you buy it?", stepping inside of the well-decorated abode. Said abode, was built upon black wood, and everything here are made of either wood or rarely metal.
Yet, it captured your interest as you are a fan of vintage architecture such as this.
"Glad you like it. However, I hadn't bought it. If, anything I built from scratch as I have an interest in building structures."
"My, that's amazing!,Vlad. You're such a talented man", you complimented his craftsmanship as you laid your hand at a woman in bridal clothes made from various type of wood.
Meanwhile, as you were immersed in the details of the house ; Vladimir brewed some tea for both him and his wife-to-be.
' It seems that you took my den to your liking. Good, adapt. Because, from on you'll be living here ;you'll become one with me and won't have the chance to leave me.'
" (Y/n)? May you come and chatter with me over a cup of tea?", Vladimir beckoned you as he sat in an umber chair; which is in front of a circular chocolate brown table.
"Sure thing.", trotting toward him with a sparkle of interest residing in your eyes. On the other hand, your guts is telling you otherwise. However, you ignored it. That was the last strike, before your fall down.
" Remember our first meeting? Nostalgic as it may be,but it always have a special place in my dormant heart", the brunette sipped his tea as he awaited your response.
" Indeed, I do !. Infact, I do too cherished and it is very sweet of you to say that. Considering, you're a grumpy bear usually", you remarked playfully,sipped your tea, and watched him glare at you halfheartedly.
" V-vlady, what's happening all of sudden. Why is everything so dizzy?", you spoke as you watch the world around you swirl and black spots began hazing your mind. Before you plummeted to the ground, a large arms had caught you in their arms. It wasn't warm this time,it was deathly cold similar to the embrace of death himself.
The last thing you saw were; Vlad's bloody irises and a cold smile gracing his visage.
●◉◎◈◎◉●
Once you awakened from your stupor, you were met directly with the bloody orbs of the person whom took advantage of you.
" Ah! маленький. You've awaken; its seems the drug didn't last long. No matter, what truly matters is that you're with me now." ,Vladmir crawled closer to you. Thus, you started to take a step from your former friend.
"Why are you doing this Vladimir? Why? after all we've been through; you do this", your eyes began to drip in tears as you screamed at your fr- No! at the strange man that possessed your friend.
"Because, you are the only one who cares authentically about me and isn't afraid of me. You painted my grey world with your light. You're the sunshine that I never had, this why I have to keep you away. So, no one would taint you. Can't you see I am a merely broken man shunned and forsakened by his own family?. Yet, you want to take away my chance of happiness,маленький?", Vladimir remarked bitterly,staring intently through your eyes with desolate engraved in his cold dead eyes.
"Just give into me,love. If you won't I might do something we both will regret."
Finally, in the end he have gotten something good out of this pointless life! and he'll will ensure her safety with him as he'll drown her with the love that he never had.
This is a story of man who lost everything,yet he gained something better than everything; eternal love.
●◉◎◈◎◉●
A/n: Hope you like it. Sorry if it took so long and thank you for requesting!
Translations:
приве́т, брат. как дела? - Hello,brother. How are you?
Здравствуйте, младшая сестра.Я в поря́дке. - Hello, little sister. I'm fine.
да - Yes.
маленький - little one.
