Charlie was like “Bruh, what’s my mom doing here inside some Video Games?”

Alastor was like “Help me, Lilith was obsessed with me.” I also feel like Vox gets jealous of Alastor because he somehow got little crush on Lilith.EXE character- XD

Hahaha! Charlie really IS getting Alastor as a dad, huh? 😂😂😂

I think the original ask said its like a Teen Au vibe; splintering from that and the hypothetical scenario of this taking place in Hell would be hilarious— Vox creating a dating sim of Hell’s beloved queen and forcing / heckling Alastor into playing it just for the AI of the game to gain sentience and try to wife him up 😂😭

Vox being PISSED cause that was NOT supposed to happen, Lucifer being PISSED because how DARE Alastor woo a virtual version of HIS ex-wife, and Charlie’s daddy issues doubling; all the while Alastor is like “can you idiots help me for FIVE SECONDS?”

Hahaha yesssss that would be so funny, but im radiostatic trash and i feel like Vox probably made HIMSELF a wooable character that you can end up with (the REAL REASON he wanted Alastor to play it) and he would be SO MAD that not only did he not even ATTEMPT to get with him but LILITH of all people is rizzing him up more than he ever could ekfndkfnfkdbdjdndkd

ollie and wicks invite bitty and jack on a double date but they are very unaware that ollie and wicks are dating. thoughts? (@gothlesbianlardo)

yesssss!

it's only as bitty sits down next to jack at the restaurant that he realises that this is actually an awfully fancy place to be just meeting up with college friends. like this is a place that he comes to for dinner with jack on dates, rather than somewhere he'd necessarily meet shitty for a catch up. he shakes off the thought though; maybe ollie or wicks is just a food snob? that feels like something he could expect from one of them.

bitty peruses the menu diligently, whilst ollie and wicks do the same, and he can't help but note, with a glance over his menu, that ollie and wicks are sat pretty close together. surely it can't be that comfortable? like surely their thighs would be touching? but maybe that's just what happens when you're two ginormous hockey players. bitty wouldn't know personally.

jack shuts his menu (he'd clearly already decided on his chicken tenders) and asks ollie and wicks about their post grad plans. bitty opens his mouth to say that he already knows, but he quickly realises, that he does not in fact know.

"oh!" ollie says, "we've got jobs at a couple of start ups here in providence actually! that's why we're here at the moment actually! and then we've put in an offer for a house out in pawtucket!"

wow. a house is definitely a big investment for just two best friends, but ollie and wicks have always been codependent. it's no more than what ransom and holster would do.

it's only at the end of the evening, after a very lovely meal, that bitty realises that the two of them have only been speaking in the first person plural all night. we this, and us that, and our whatever. but what really tips him off is when ollie and wicks share a quick kiss before walking to their (their!!) car.

bitty turns to jack "wow i did Not realise they were dating."

jack blinks. "wait, they're dating?"

bitty stares at jack incredulously. "honey, they literally just kissed. did you think that was platonic?"

"shitty kisses me like that all the time. i saw ransom and holster shares like six kisses yesterday alone."

okay, that's a good point.

Headcanon:

Luz was planning to sabotage Camila and Beardo Philip's dinner for their first dinner date at home, but thought that Philip would do it on his own since he was a Puritan from the 1600s.

She snickers at the thought of what he'll make for her mom.

'He's probably going to whip out a whole cauliflower or something and sprinkle it with salt.'

WRONG.

When Beardo Philip brought out two hearty plates containing Locrio de Pollo for himself and Camila, Luz's entire jaw dropped, and she had to do a double take.

The recipe was learned by him from the cooking channel.

I already have a headcanon that he is a frequent watcher, lol.

(enchantedchocolatebars)

@enchantedchocolatebars

SHDISISJSJS YESSSSS

He started watching the cooking channels and food network so he can study modern dishes and how to make them

Luz keeps underestimating his ability to get better

[small-world-au]

Omg….PLEASE YESSSSS!!!!

DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO ITTT!!!!!

[lover-of-mine]

thank you for answering my asks!! I'm glad you're doing better & they weren't too much & you enjoy these!

and yeah the more I think about it the less I want like jealous Eddie & more confused Eddie? Like he looks so happy every time Buck & Tommy are like getting along so I'd love for him to be happy about it but maybe feel a little off? Like about Buck/Tommy dating. Like he's happy for them bc his new friend & best friend are dating & they're both so great & he gets to keep hanging out with them individually but together he's like ??? But thinking about it I don't think he'd get jealous I think he'd double down on being supportive?? Like he's so happy for Buck exploring this new part of himself & with someone like Tommy who's cool & nice & someone Eddie trusts and Tommy is dating Buck who Eddie loves so much so it's like of course he's happy for him too? So he tries to make sure he's not getting in the way of it & being supportive with both of them.

But! Tommy seemed happy to also see Eddie in the promo so I'm hoping since he also was like "yeah we are good as friends & it's okay for him to have more than one" that Tommy will continue to initiate/hang out with him. I hope if Buck is weird about the date it's just like panicking bc he wasn't maybe ready to tell Eddie? (Bc it's scary & new & his Eddie feelings are tied up in it even if he isn't aware of that but also!!! Buck feeling guilty bc he was all weird about their friendship & now is dating Tommy & like idk I kinda want him to panic like "I'm not trying to steal your new friend! I know I was a dick about it but I really like kissing him & want to keep doing so!" or something? Idk lol bc now it's like "well how do I explain this to Eddie after doing all of that??" it's kinda embarrassing like he's gonna go to Maddie & say "yeah so remember when I was all mad about Tommy? Um well now we're dating actually" I want to have all the love & support but also they never stop teasing him over being an absolute disaster about it) (I love him so much)

So yeah. I'm hopeful that going forward we'll leave the jealousy tension with Tommy behind bc I think you're right it would be boring and honestly Eddie seems like he'd be so happy but also again feel Weird but when he sees like Buck being all adorable & flustered & happy when Tommy does something cute or romantic & he's not mad or upset, he's just like idk kinda how with Ana things felt Weird but it took him a bit to figure out why bc he liked her well enough & she was beautiful & Chris loved her so like he was like why am I not happier about this? Why do I get a weird flutter in my chest or tightness in my stomach when Buck looks at Tommy like that? and just responds by like being extra supportive (and eventually having to talk to someone like "why do I feel weird about this? am I a bad friend? am I homophobic?" and it's like no you're sad bc you want to be kissing Buck!!!) so idk maybe it's too close to the jealousy but yeah I don't want it to create tension in that way. Also I'd love him to be able to talk to Tommy about it? Like Tommy clocks it and is like "is this weird for you?" & Eddie's like no no I'm happy for you two really (bc he is but also???) and just idk if that makes sense but basically I want Buddie to talk & be like we will be more open with each other & there's no weird tension with Tommy bc they've moved past that & he's like gets to be something in both their lives while also a catalyst for them getting together (lmao what if he was in their wedding party?? "Eddie Chris is already your best man,at least let me have Tommy as a groomsmen?" "Tommy & I are really more friends than you two are tho" "what? We're close tho, I have literally been inside of him" ". . ." ". . .yeah okay, but I get Chim then.") (is it crack yes but it makes me laugh) and I am just repeating myself over and over but yesssss the end

Okay, I will talk about it all but the idea of buddie having Buck's ex in the wedding party made me cackle oasokasasokasokas we love to paint Eddie as possessive but this would be so funny lolololol

Okay, I think Eddie will be aggressively supportive, like, overcompensating levels of supportive, buying bi flags for Buck supportive, especially with the whole Buck feeling left out thing, I think he would go intense about it, and not even fully realize it seems like he's compensating for something. But the thing here really is how they'll deal with Tommy and Eddie with it all, because Eddie like Tommy, so I don't see him reacting all that extremely the way he did with Taylor for instance, but at the same time, I kinda want Eddie to do a double take every time he sees Buck and Tommy together. But you can't really play the jealousy angle while Buck and Tommy are still together, because the switch would be weird. So, really, I have no idea how to play this situation, buddie do need to talk about Tommy in the middle of them, but how does Tommy actually fit in the middle here?

YES YES YES. The blondes from hell who terrorize every jerk in Smallville who likes to go on power trips. They’ve vandalized Lexcorp enough times to warrant mugshots. They’re bestfriends. Kara has taken her to the Fortress and talked to her about Thara, who was her first kiss. Lori talks about how much she feels like an outcast in Smallville. They fall asleep together, and Lori wakes up with Kara’s arms around her. But they aren’t dating. They visit Kon’s grave together, and Clark tells them that they bring back memories of when he was growing up.

Then New Krypton happens, and Kara leaves. She leaves, just as Lori was getting the courage to actually go for it. Then New Krypton is destroyed, and Kara is alone. She’s lost Krypton again. She crashes on the farm and decided to move in with Ma and Kon…and when she goes to find Lori, all she gets a door slammed in her face.

OUGH I FORGOT TO ANSWER THIS YESTERDAY but yes... yesssss.... i want them to have such a messy fight about it. lori can hold one hell of a grudge but she is no good at icing people out; if kara comes to her asking why, lori Will yell at her about it. and then kara would yell back. but at this point i think kara is too devastated to keep the anger up, so she'd flee rather than let lori see her break down (again). which would be a red flag of "oh she's really really not okay" to lori, even if she's trying so hard to stay angry and not be concerned.

thinking now of lori coming over to the farmhouse while kara is there without knowing kara is also there, then freezing when she sees her. kon is looking back and forth between then like oh no. oh no. oh no. the silence is so thick and awkward. kara is so close to running away again. krypto whines. and then ma kent is like Alright. Enough of this. you two are going to talk to each other like reasonable and mature people and kon and i will be here if you need help mediating. but this ends today you are both miserable. talk to each other. and NO YELLING UNDER MY ROOF. am i clear, ladies?

kon gives them both a big grin and double thumbs up. they both exchange looks of "we want to throw something at his head." and then oh no shit we're commiserating with each other ah fuck

[jamietarttownsmyheart]

idk if anyone’s said this yet but “midnight rain” by taylor swift is lowkey a colinjamie song. “he was sunshine” (colin) “i was midnight rain” (jamie)

YES YES YESSSSS OMG YES YOU GET IT

first, i wanna apologize, i took way longer answering this than i expected, real life caught up with me, but!! midnight rain and colinjamie!! you are SO correct anon.

(unrelated, you're on your own kid is a jamie song)

but back to midnight rain, i mean, im really interested in your thoughts anon! how are you interpreting it?

one way of looking at it i think could be a canon compliant au of sorts.

I was making my own name Chasing that fame He stayed the same All of me changed like midnight

like just this part? football is an escape for jamie, its a career for jamie, but its the same for colin!

but we can go deeper for both. jamie and football is complicated. for one, he loves it, he's amazing at it, he dominates, when he plays, he's jamie fucking tartt. but what is it really? he didn't grow up privileged, he didn't grow up in a stable environment. he grew up with a mom who wanted him to be happy and a father who did everything he could to make sure jamie wasn't. and its complicated because jamie playing football was what made him happy, and he wanted his mom to be proud of him. and then his dad comes back in the picture, and he wants jamie to play and jamie wants him to be proud but its a different want--its a want that one)every child has for their parent to be proud and 2)the hope that if james tartt sr is proud maybe he'll lay off.

football is something similar to colin. he loves it, but it also has brought him grief--after the team in Cardiff got relegated, he did face backlash from his family--like his grandmother for example. it also has the potential to bring more grief, as sports (and football) do tend to have a homophobic fanbase irl, and its been implied that colin is into men, and while a sexuality isnt confirmed, the implication that he is at least attracted to men is there (unless the grindr comment was incorporated as a joke, which, im hoping the writers didnt do it just for that) leading room for more pain.

there is also the third point--Jamie has the makings of being great, while Nate tells Colin that he does not. (chasing that fame/he stayed the same)

I think an au where fwb colinjamie happens pre-ted lasso's arrival is interesting, as one, it would be a secret, as both colinjamie have reasons for it to be, and two, you said midnight rain and now im thinking of the conversation of wanting to become official (albeit still secret) sort of contributing to the (he was sunshine/i was midnight rain) where they end things instead.

timeline-wise, it could be like:

jamie comes to richmond--jamiecolin fwb but end it after a month--jamie+keeley meet--rupert/rebecca divorce--ted lasso arrival.

except see, i dont want to go that route bc i dont want it to come off as keeley being the rebound. she is not. its so clear that keeley means something to jamie, and that she did when they were dating too, although jamie himself admits that while the feelinsg were real and there, he probably was not at the best mindset to act on/say the words/take accountability. that actually is true for jamie's season 1 arc--he has many moments in season 1 where you see the potential, to change, the want to change, and the way he actually does make attempts to be better. you see the softness his father tried to get rid of come out--but those moments are quickly overshadowed by jamie doubling down on "dominating" immediately after (or being sent back to man city right when he was trying and making progress and trusting--believing) because his father is very much still a heavily involved force in his life, and no one cares or knows.

so instead like. maybe theyre not fwb yet. maybe its an almost, but neither are ready to take things forward, so they stay friends-ish. maybe canon events happen as they do, but during s2, is when things get tricky.

timeline wise:

jamie comes back and is gradually accepted------jamiecolin fwb---james tartt sr----no weddings and a funeral--jamiecolin lets make it official convo but jamie asks for some time bc he wants to sift through his emotions, talk with his therapist, and give a proper response (he told keeley he loves her, and he did, he does, but that doesnt mean he's pursuing her, or wants to pursue her, he just wants her to know she meant something real, and now he wants to be able to give colin a real answer too, because he wants colin to be something real, colin is something real, he needs to know how to say it)---he loves colin omg he loves colin---tells colin----Richmond is promoted.

so all that^ but with jamie's internal monologue during his talks with his therapist its basically "he's sunshine and i'm midnight rain"

[yuukei-yikes]

OKAY YOU'VE UNLEASHED THE BEAST. so like we all know the post str harutaka dynamic is all lovey dovey etc because FINALLY! WE ARE TOGETHER!!!!!!! sort of thing well kanoshin is literally the opposite. in my fucked up head post str kanoshin dynamic at the time this would occur is shintaro after breaking up w/ ayano and ALSO takane is trying to distance themself from him so he's basically like a sopping wet cat in cardboard box on kano's doorstep that kano has also been pining for secretly and unwillingly for like 2 years. so to me kanoshin is basically shintaro: heem heem whimper (super vulnerable doesnt even care if it's gay at this point or if he has feelings for kano he just needs to be held he can think abt all of that later) kano: okayyyy whatever ^w^ (what the hell is going on what i am doing why is shintaro in my arms where am i) and that repeats 100 times in post shinaya breakup divorce. mix in shintaro's horrible capacity for affection since he doesnt think he wants to be hated but also wants to be loved but he should be hated blah blah blahand with kano it's like he validates both of that, that makes zero sense when i type it out but trust me it makes sense in my head. so ignoring canon i think takane and kano r definitely besties bc they r basically the Same Guy????? which like u said it's even acknowledged IN kano's novel where he's like "yep she's twisted JUST like me" also fun fact the same ost that plays over the kano and seto scene where he opens up abt everything in mca ALSO plays over the scene where takane and ayano discuss takane's feelings abt haruka im SOOOOO normal abt that fact. in my mind they r talking or smthn and shintaro gets brought up and kano somehow lets it slip with a "soooo did shintaro ever also kiss you or something haha :3c" and takane's like "what" and that's how takane found out. and i think takane would have REALLY mixed feelings abt that especially bc like "uhhh how would ayano feel?" but when he goes to talk to shintaro abt it a bit more (codependency in the mix bc in her mind it's like well surely shintaro will tell me soon anyway bc he tells me everything bc he needs to tell me. normal things to think) he looks at them like he just shit himself. i kind of forget where i was going with this. but if they EVER did go on a double date it would be so awkward bc harutaka r Normal and kanoshin is Very Much Not Normal. but because takane and haruka are the only ones who know abt kano and shintaro's weird not relationship and shintaro and kano cant stand being alone together for a long amount of time bc it forces them to confront their feelings but also want to be together it's the perfect solution. this kind of goes hand in hand with shintaro's heavy reliance on takane, it's like codependency......2!!!!!! but kano is Also there. SORRY THIS SOUNDS INSANE AND IS SOOOOO LONG IM SORRY im normal

OK im putting answer under the cut only cuz the ask is already long and its so scrolling it on my blog isnt a nightmare for myself 💗 it largely turned into me talking abt takane like always sooo teehee

NO UR NOT INSANE U ARE SO NORMAL!!!!!!! this is EXACTLY IT. shintaro&kano insanity in between shinaya breakup/takane distancing itself from shintaro ahaihvsuxhemxksjxlwkdowkdw (EXPLOSION)

also the ost thing!!! i had to go check and i got so excited stupid like YESS YESSSSS ILOVE THAT KINDA SHIT not to sidetrack on takane/harutaka but that would've been so so so good if the anime hadn't fucked up and made takane all happy when running before dying. like takane was so terrified of being in love with haruka she wasn't like omg teeheee im gonna confess my feelings💗 she was like (RUNNING) THIS SUCKS SO BADDDDDDD AUGGHHHHHH like she DID have an epiphany. but it wasn't like... HAPPY. takane was so terrified!!!! sorry. IM NOT GONNA SIDETRACK TO HARUTAKA IM NOT but str takane finally managing to confess to haruka i think its rly funny if then haruka's of course like I LOVE U TOO are we dating then :3 and takane's like WHAT!!! WHAT THE FUCK!!! WHAT!!! and haruka's like WELL U LIKE ME? AND I LIKE U? SO WE SHOULD DATE??? and takane's like I NEVER THOUGHT OF IT THAT FAR AHEAD I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU GIVE ME A SECOND TO PROCESS like this bitch never once stops to worry if haruka likes her back or not, if it'd be awkward if he didnt and how it'd be like to date if he did, NOTHING. granted that she dies immediately after realising so maybe she just didnt get to that point LMAO but i love this about takane's character like she just doesnt fucking think about it they just WANT TO TELL HIM!!! and then up to str she never imagines seeing haruka again and now he's here and she's too happy and relieved to even go back to this realisation and give time to worry about WHAT IT REALLY MEANS to confess her feelings. theyre just like i need to tell him he needs to know.and haruka's like I Love You Too. takane acting like he's insane for that. haruka rly has to give takane like 10 or 20 minutes of freakout for them to be like omg💗

i said i wouldnt sidetrack to harutaka then did . whatever. This is who i am. erm. oh yeah the ost. SO kano finally managing to let one of his siblings comfort him is obviously scary to him, takane's reaction at ayano's words abt how shintaro needs someone selfish to pull him forward and how she has to be honest to haruka is also scary to her. So having that ost in both these scenes....SO GOOD!!!

i WOULDN'T GO AS FAR AS TO SAY kano and takane are the same guy but i know what u mean. like i said in ur other ask man their PARALLELS... both are playing a role.. (holds head)

theyre not the same guy but theyre heavily like. people with the same ideas but different goals idk. to me its more like... sorry for ripping on takane so much but she is so damn stupid. like emotionally. takane is DUMB takane is SO DAMN OBLIVIOUS ALL THE TIME. While kano is very smart and i think he acts in a very calculated way, kano isn't oblivious at all

i'm pretty sure ALL the kano&takane interactions are from kano's point of view, and maybe the fact they're so similar is why kano is always so mean spirited to her in his pov. like he sees too much of him in them so he's like lol FUCK YOU. like kano always acts so annoyed towards takane. i hate how in the fifth novel takane getting its body back is so brushed off and kano doesnt even help her, and then he's like augh i dont wanna see her right now. like u just traumadumped that bitch to hell and then not only do you not help her get her body back but u also act all weird about having to see her. jail for kano for 1000 years.

But like to me he acts that way... takane IS the first person kano ever opens up to precisely bc he sees himself in her, and like him she is secretly someone else. kano resents takane because she's a lot like him BUT.... BETTER.

kano acts kind of like a brat to takane yet says he doesnt want her to dislike him and SAYS that he is jealous of takane.

this line MEANS SO MUCH TO ME *GOES INSANE*

i think kano is rly jealous of takane bc she's a lot like him yet she's a good person. and he doesn't think he is a good person. and on top of it takane's the one who stays by shintaro's side who kano cant stand so he resents her x2. im not a fan of what mca did in ep 7 with kano&ene but for kano to go as far as do that to someone who never did Anything to him just bc he's pissed to another guy. like man kano is such a fucking jerk to takane in all routes and it's never treated as heavy as it is. tortures her with turning into haruka and takes his frustration out on her abt people moving on (which his siblings&shintaro do yet he chooses TAKANE to take it out on who is in an even worse position than everyone else bc shes dead like girl whats it supposed to do SHES JUST TRYING TO LIVE THEIR LIFE OR WHATEVER IS LEFT OF IT AND AT LEAST HELP SOMEONE SHE LOVES MOVE ON TOO) and also traumadumps them and then leaves her to her own devices to get her body back. like fuck that. kano sucks so bad and takane always forgives him so easily. this is partly cuz again the narrative sorta brushes it off coughs coughs the narrative doesnt take takane seriously cough cough but TO ME!! TAKANE'S JUST A GOOD GUY💗 i think takane forgiving him so easily also pisses off kano bc it shows how good takane is and it drives him crazy. takane when 2 guys (kano and shintaro) are absolutely fucking horrible to her and she's like its ok we are best friends👍 again i think takane's just not taken seriously enough and its like yeah takane forgives everyone or doesnt care because we dont need her angry abt it in the story. but to me theyre just so niceys.

god i havent even talked abt kanoshin yet sorry for my takane brainworms you dont understand she is everything to ME!!! TAKANE ENOMOTOOOO‼️‼️‼️ in my defense u said most of the kanoshin stuff which i 100% agree with.

what i didnt even think abt is kano kind of telling takane thru wondering if shintaro ever felt that way abt her bc theyre so similar so kano's like well. if he likes me maybe he liked takane. HEHE GOOD ONE. good one..... augh takane having the warmth of ayano and the mischief of kano. listen to me. im rly so crazy about takane i think all the characters inside of kagepro should be crazy abt her too. sorry i started abt takane again. whatever. takane💗

i also think theyd be the first to find out (and seto but he is not a danger) mostly bc. GOSSIP GRAVITATES TOWARDS HER finds out by chance rather than kano telling her but i DO LOVE THAT CONCEPT OF KANO WONDERING IF SHINTARO EVER LIKED TAKANE kano's first lethal mistake is asking HER though. i think he would rather ask shintaro but FOR THE SAKE OF THE SCENARIO, SURE

ok but thats rly funny haruka and takane being the only ones to know and shintaro and kano not wanting to be alone and forcing them to be there😭 also how would haruka know... I LOVE haruka being up to date with mekakushi dan gossip literally just because he's dating gossip central takane but he just doesnt do anything with the info cuz hes like well i know that now. i think takane just starts talking and goes on and on and haruka's drawing and gasping and being like omg wow really. theyre so silly. i have a hc that during hs takane looks out their classroom window that happens to face a Popular Confession Place and she sits there to watch like its tv. shes like look haruka another one. this one's also getting rejected. haruka's like Takane is so easily entertained💗

but yeah. i think that's how haruka would know. personally i think kano&shintaro would rather be alone bc theyre both terrified of this relationship and wouldnt want anyone to know PLUS i already like takane as relationship mediator to shinaya so doing it to her twice in a row seems just cruel Like at this point takane is living their best domestic harutaka cat parent life ok. like leave it tf alone!! give them a break!! however it is extremely comical. most painful awkward time ever with kanoshin & harutaka

so ill accept it. like its fucking funny. erm. sorry this is all over the place.

amomk seokjin to his dongsaengs :)

Aaaahhh please!

source: track11sea

Well, that took me right out. Ugh, I’ve missed the AMOMK boys, and these little script-drabble-thingies that you all help create! Let’s do one! Here’s what came to mind, partly in honor of Jin sharing his deployment date. (Note: This drabble is G-rated, but the full still-in-progress fic is very much not lol.)

A Map of Mrs. Kims Drabble: The Best Biggest Hyung

7:13 AM.

Small Kid Taehyung: (fussing with his shoelaces)

Mrs. Kim: (stops zipping up Medium Kid Namjoon’s jacket and turns her attention to Small Kid Taehyung) Wait, wait, wait, Eomma will do it.

Big Kid Jin watches as she makes two perfect bunny ears.

Mrs. Kim: (tickling a laughing Taehyung) Why are you so wriggly? Huh? Did you go to the bathroom already?

Small Kid Taehyung: Yesssss!

Mrs. Kim: (collecting her boys) OK, let’s go, you’re going to be late for school.

Big Kid Jin notices Medium Kid Namjoon’s jacket isn’t zipped yet, and Medium Kid Namjoon is getting destructively frustrated.

Big Kid Jin: Wait, wait, wait, hyungie will do it, hyungie will do it.

He helps Namjoon align and then zip his jacket all the way up.

Small Kid Namjoon: (sparkles in his eyes) Thanks, hyung!

Mrs. Kim helps them pile into the car and gets them to school. She gets out of the car to give them all one hug each.

Mrs. Kim: (pulling back from Taehyung) I’ll be back at lunch to pick you up, Tae. 

Mrs. Kim smiles as he squeezes her one more time. And then, she stands tall.

Mrs. Kim: You boys have a good day, and if you need anything (ruffles Jin’s hair) let your hyung know. (smiling proudly at him) He’s the best biggest hyung, in the world, and he’s in charge when I’m not around. OK?

Taehyung and Namjoon: (unaffected, scampering off) OK bye Eomma!

Mrs. Kim: (smiles as she watches them go, then turns back to Jin) All yours.

Big Kid Jin presses his lips together, furrows his brow, and nods once, so solemn, as Mrs. Kim laughs gently.

--

8:47 AM.

Ms. Yong: (from her desk) Kim Seokjin?

Big Kid Jin abruptly ends his conversation with his groupmates and looks over to her as he stands.

Ms. Yong smiles and holds up her phone.

Big Kid Jin: Hmm. (looks down and stretches his arm out of his sleeve to check his Princess Toadstool's Castle Run watch) He’s early today. 

Big Kid Jin walks down the hallway and past the front office to get to room 104. He knocks on the open door.

Mrs. Peng: Ah, Seokjinnie, thank you!

Big Kid Jin: (rolling up his sleeves) What do we got, Mrs. Peng?

Mrs. Peng: Well, today, he just walked a bit awkwardly and---

Small Kid Taehyung is wailing on the floor, encircled by his entire class watching in confusion. All of his shoelaces are undone.

Mrs. Peng: He won’t let anybody near him.

Student 1: Tae-Tae---

Small Kid Taehyung snarls, and then goes back to wailing.

Big Kid Jin: Taehyungie!

At the sound of his hyung’s voice, Small Kid Taehyung stops crying immediately.

Big Kid Jin: (heroically) Don’t worry. Hyung will do it!

Big Kid Jin marches over to him, and Small Kid Taehyung sits up, planting his soles on the ground and sniffling, wiping snot from his upper lip with the back of his sleeve.

Big Kid Jin kneels by Small Kid Taehyung’s feet and makes two less-than-perfect bunny ears, but they’re completed all the same.

Small Kid Taehyung: Thanks, hyung!

He starts to get up.

Big Kid Jin: Wait wait wait!

Small Kid Taehyung freezes, and Big Kid Jin goes back to double-knot the laces.

Small Kid Taehyung: Hey but that’s not what Eomma does!

Big Kid Jin: Well, Eomma taught me to do this if my shoelaces get loose! (smiling at Small Kid Taehyung) And I’m in charge when she’s not around, right?

Small Kid Taehyung: Right!

--

12:08 PM.

Big Kid Jin sees someone dumping Medium Kid Namjoon’s milk into his container of stew.

Big Kid Jin: (to his friends) I’ll meet you at the table.

He walks around the perimeter of the cafeteria, avoiding Medium Kid Namjoon’s eyeline, though he wouldn’t notice much, because he’s helplessly staring at his ruined lunch. Big Kid Jin keeps walking until he meets the bully who ruined it.

Big Kid Jin: I saw what you did.

Bully: (laughing) Hilarious, right?

Big Kid Jin: Not hilarious. Mean.

Bully: I did him a favor. He could do with a little less milk, and a little less food. Guy’s a bit chub---

Big Kid Jin: (drops his food on the floor, where it spills onto the Bully and his friends’ shoes and pants; slaps the Bully on his shoulder, and leans in uncomfortably close) What?

Bully: (startled) H-huh?

Big Kid Jin: (smiling) I said, what? (squeezing his shoulder) I couldn’t hear what you were going to say about my brother (nails digging in) so I’m leaning in really close to make sure I can hear you clearly.

Bully: (tears in his eyes, sputtering) Y-your bro--- I-I didn’t---

Big Kid Jin: What?

Bully: I-I’m sorry!

Big Kid Jin: Cool. That’s what I thought you said.

He leaves the mess and walks over to Medium Kid Namjoon from behind. 

Medium Kid Namjoon is trying desperately to use his fingers to pick out slices of meat that went unaffected in the milk debacle. He reaches for a slice of meat and makes a disgusted face before bringing it to his mouth to---

Big Kid Jin: (slapping Medium Kid Namjoon on the back) Hey! Don’t eat that!

Medium Kid Namjoon: (dropping the meat, rubbing where Big Kid Jin slapped him, falling quiet, feeling ashamed) ...You saw what happened?

Big Kid Jin: What do you mean?

Medium Kid Namjoon: (pointing down to his food) Some guy just took my milk and---

Big Kid Jin: Whatever, look, I have some extra money to buy something for lunch, and they have hamburgers! You wanna go through the line with me?

Medium Kid Namjoon: But Eomma said to stop buying lunch because---

Big Kid Jin: (pulling Medium Kid Namjoon up from the table) I said it was extra money, and I want a burger. Do you want a burger?

Medium Kid Namjoon: (getting excited, leaving his lunch and following his brother) Well, of course I want a burger, who doesn’t want a burger?

--

5:33 PM

Small Kid Taehyung: (lying on the couch, upside down, shirt falling and covering his eyes, tummy exposed) Boots!

Big Kid Jin’s eyes pop open. Nap interrupted, he looks over and sees Small Kid Taehyung starting to cry.

Big Kid Jin: (scampering over) What happened!

Small Kid Taehyung: Fell! Behind--- huhuhuuuu--- the--- huhhhhuhuhuuu--- couch!!

Big Kid Jin: Don’t worry, hyung will get him. And don’t cry like that. Just tell hyung what’s wrong. Eomma is cooking. She might get scared.

Without giving it a second thought, Big Kid Jin dives into the gap between the back of the sofa and the wall, his bigger body wriggling to reach for the toy. He pulls Boots out to a laughing, wriggling Taehyung.

Big Kid Jin: Is that what hyung looked like?

Small Kid Taehyung laughs and nods as he wriggles. But then he looks serious. And doesn’t stop wriggling.

Big Kid Jin: Do you need to go to the bathroom?

Small Kid Taehyung: Yes.

--

6:13 PM

Mrs. Kim: (serving dinner at the table) Appa said this will be the last night he works late this week.

Small Kid Taehyung: But he always says that.

Mrs. Kim: (a little disheartened) I know. But he has a very important job that helps people, so he has to work hard sometimes. He misses you very much when he doesn’t see you.

Small Kid Taehyung: (thoughtfully) Me too.

Mrs. Kim smiles at him sadly before going back into the kitchen to get the next dish.

Medium Kid Namjoon: (reaching for some fish sauce, fingertips nudging the nozzle and pushing bottle almost to where it spills, but---)

Big Kid Jin: Wait, wait, wait, hyung will do it.

He looks over to Small Kid Taehyung. 

Big Kid Jin: (animatedly, dripping the sauce into Medium Kid Namjoon’s food) Plop! Plop! Plop!

Small Kid Taehyung laughs, and Medium Kid Namjoon smiles.

Small Kid Taehyung: Plop plop plop!

Big Kid Jin: Right! Plop! Plop! Plop!

Small Kid Taehyung: What’s plopplopplop mean?

Medium Kid Namjoon: It’s what Appa says when he puts sauces into stuff.

Small Kid Taehyung: (reaching for the bottle of fish sauce) Plop plop plop!

Big Kid Jin: (angling to put sauce in Taehyung’s food) OK, you say the plop plop plops, and hyung will do the bottle.

Small Kid Taehyung: (laughing as Jin pours and Namjoon looks on) Plop! Plop! Plop!

--

Bedtime.

Big Kid Jin and Small Kid Taehyung look at each other in the mirror as they brush their teeth.

Small Kid Taehyung: (whines)

Big Kid Jin rolls his eyes. Boots is sitting on the sink. Big Kid Jin has agreed to brush Boots’ teeth as well, so that the three of them can brush their teeth together. Big Kid Jin resumes brushing.

--

Big Kid Jin walks past Medium Kid Namjoon’s room and sees that he’s fallen asleep while reading in bed with his lights on again. Jin gently pulls the book from Namjoon’s hands, covers him with his blanket, and then leaves, turning the lights out and closing the door behind him.

--

Mrs. Kim is tucking Big Kid Jin into bed and kissing him on the forehead.

Big Kid Jin: Is Appa home?

Mrs. Kim: Yes, he’s just having some dinner. (smiling) Alright. What book shall we read tonight?

Big Kid Jin: (eyes blinking at different rates) I’m sleepy. I think just night-night, Eomma.

Mrs. Kim: (frowning) What’s wrong? Are you sick? (pulls Jin’s forehead back to her lips, then cheek, startling him) You don’t feel warm. Why are you so tired?

Big Kid Jin: (lies back down) I just get tired sometimes.

Mrs. Kim: Of course. We all do, especially at the end of a long day. 

Big Kid Jin: Like it’s hard to be Appa, working late.

Mrs. Kim: (heart swelling with pride) That’s true.

Big Kid Jin: Hard to be Eomma. Teaching. And cooking.

Mrs. Kim: We all have our different kinds of roles in the family. It’s my and Appa’s job to go to work and make money that we need. It’s Taehyungie’s job to be a good boy and behave in school. It’s Namjoonie’s job to pay attention to his studies and mind his manners. And you have the biggest job: doing all those things, plus watching over them.

Big Kid Jin: (weary) The biggest job for the biggest hyung.

Mrs. Kim: I don’t think that’s who you are.

Big Kid Jin smiles as Mrs. Kim nestles into him, kissing him and tickling him a little bit.

Mrs. Kim: Who are you?

Big Kid Jin: Eomma!

Mrs. Kim: Who are you??

Big Kid Jin: I’m the best biggest hyung in the world!

Mrs. Kim: (smiling) That’s right.

And then, faintly, from the kitchen.

Mr. Kim: Plop! Plop! Plop!

15.5k words!!! YESSSSS! You’ve gone from giving us short, sweet fluffy posts to the last longer, healing Queendom fic (which I loved! I can’t believe people didn’t like it. I was maybe looking forward to more fics in that universe like them double dating or maybe traveling together to the Nourishing Fields? 😭I hope if you get more inspiration that you definitely keep writing this story) AND NOW THIS?! I love how it went from the most wholesome lovely date to BEDROOM NOW! The handcuffed pronebone was insane 🤯 and while Daddy kink content usually makes me cringe, this was HOT 🥵 and of course JK makes his angry face while eating AND during sex 🥰

Honestly, people don't appreciate true art even if it is served to them on a silver platter ✊🏻😔 hahahha no on a serious note, I already kinda expected it to get little notes (shame on most of yall for sleeping on Seokjin fics, you guys are foul). I will definitely write more about them and their sweet little double dates :( gosh istfg I love this universe so much 🥺

NOW ABOUT THE OGC STORY FNADNSF WOOF istfg the handcuffed pronebone changed my life nfnnfnfnf I'm also really happy that you liked the Daddy kink inclusion. Trust me when I tell you that this kink is so far on my no-no list and I literally do a whole 180 when I see it included in stories, but I really liked how they did it JFJADJSF I'm glad you share my sentiment 😩

and of course JK makes his angry face while eating AND during sex 🥰

*clawing at the walls of my isolation cell*

[vintagepresley]

- Surae

Yesssss!

steve eddie megan bradley double date my beloved

OMG YESSSSS! Probably once a month they have a really take no prisoners game night. Eddie and Bradley privately agree it’s a very good way to get Steve and Megan to express some of their feelings, though inevitably Eddie loses the thread of why this is psychologically healthy for the two of them and just goes full Kill or Be Killed competitive asshole mode. But in a fun way, you know.

Parcheesi has been banned for the foreseeable future.

[sapphierspider]

Wait omg I just realized

We can go on double dates bevause you have Hibiki as an F/O and I have Kanade :00000

YESSSSS!!!!

Double date!!!!

[marvelsswansong]

I need more protective Eddie munson in my life! 😫 could you maybe do a request for me where she just got a car and they're driving around and maybe get into a wreck? Then he's a wreck bc he's worried about her.

tags: Eddie x fem!reader, descriptions of blood and physical injuries, heavy angst at the beginning but happy ending, lots of fluff don't worry, your friends being awesome (Steve, Robin, Nancy and Jonathan), Hopper being a protective father figure as always, light descriptions of weed usage, inaccurate descriptions of what happens in an ER.....

☆ word count: 3.2K+ ☆

a/n: omg anon yesssss - I changed the prompt a teeny bit to make the story work but I loved this idea and I loved being able to write worried/protective Eddie 😭😘

⚠️ 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: 𝐈 𝐝𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐩𝐲, 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐲 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐞.⚠️

Eddie's leaning by the side of his trailer, watching lazily as whispy puffs of air from the end of his lit joint disappear into the night sky. It's a quiet night and there's not much on his mind - maybe except for the date he's planned with you tomorrow, and the adorable way you'd smiled when he'd revealed that he'd planned a picnic for the two of you.

The silence is then interrupted when he hears the horrible sounds of tires screeching by the road. Eddie frowns - it's nine pm on a Tuesday, who could be in such a rush?

Then Steve appears from the clearing in between the trees, running like a madman, frantically looking around at the rows of trailers before his eyes narrow in on Eddie. Eddie quickly disregards his joint and places steadying hands on Steve's shoulders, attempting to calm his friend down.

"Woah, Harrington, what's the rush-"

"(Y/n)." is all Steve can get out in between harsh breaths, doubling over and breathing harshly in pain as he's out of breath. Eddie's veins go ice cold at the mention of your name, his mind immediately flipping through the worst scenarios imaginable as his hands drop involuntarily.

"W-what about her?"

"There was an accident. She's in the emergency room and they're not letting any of us fucking see her because we're not family-"

Before Steve can even finish his sentence Eddie is dashing to his van and pulling out from the driveway, his only focus on reaching the hospital in record time. He's not sure how many traffic laws he's violating as he swerves corners, cuts off vehicles and runs red lights, but he can't find it in himself to give a single fuck. There's an anxious ringing in his head, a pit forming in his stomach, his hands gripping the steering wheel so tight that his skin is turning red.

When he finally bursts into the hospital room, Steve's quick to follow, having followed behind Eddie in his own vehicle. It's not hard to locate the others - Robin is pacing back and forth anxiously, Jonathan is sitting next to Nancy and trying to comfort her, and Hopper is desperately trying to get the nurse to let them see you. It's an absolute mess of nervous adults, the tension in the room thick, as Eddie quickly runs up to Hopper and taps him on the shoulder.

"What's going on?" he asks the older man, who sighs in frustration.

"Since her parents are out of town and being her emergency contact isn't enough to grant access, they're not letting me in to see her."

The nurse behind them both frowns, an apologetic smile on her tired face.

"I'm really sorry, sir, but it's standard procedure that during intensive surgery we limit visitors to immediate family members. Though, if you and your party are willing to wait, we'll be able to let you in once she's in a more stable state."

"How long will that take?" Robin asks, to which the nurse looks down at her notes before looking back up.

"It'll depend on how the current surgery goes... but it's not uncommon for it to take about five to six hours."

Eddie's blood is burning, he feels as if he can't breathe - you're in some cold dark room, on the brink of your life, being prodded and operated on. And they want him to wait five to six hours before he can hold your hand and assure you it's all going to be okay? It's a horrific thought, one he can't bear.

Hopper gives up, nodding quietly before sitting back down to thumb through a random magazine on the waiting room table, but Eddie's persistent. A dangerous idea then creeps into his mind.

"Could I see (Y/n) (L/n), please?" he asks quietly, causing the nurse raises her eyebrow in suspicision.

"Your relationship to the patient?" she questions and Eddie hopes she can't see through his next lie.

"She's my fiancée."

The lie rolls off his tongue too easily and he can feel Hopper and his friends' suprised gazes burn into his back, as Eddie smiles and gestures to the ring on his right hand: golden metal with a bumblebee shaped ornament in the middle. He'd gotten you a matching one for your birthday last year, and you'd jokingly put it on your ring finger when Eddie had teased it wasn't your engagement ring 'yet.'

"She has an identical one on her left hand. We got engaged last December." Eddie continues as the nurse narrows her eyes at the ring.

The nurse then turns to whisper to another employee, who nods before disappearing into the back room. After a few tense minutes, the employee returns, nodding and confirming that you indeed look to be wearing an engagement ring matching Eddie's.

"Alright then. You'll have to stay behind the red line, but you're allowed to observe her from afar. But you must leave if any of the doctors order you to do so."

Eddie shoots a confident look at his friends - assuring them that he'll be fine and that he'll keep them updated on your condition - before wordlessly following behind the nurse, his body nearly shaking with anxiety. The room he's led to feels miles away, the sterile stench of disenfectant and harsh cleaning products filling the air as he walks down the endless white corridor. Finally, the nurse stops, before opening up a set of doors leading to the surgery room.

His heart feels as if a dagger's been plunged into it with the greatest force imaginable. Through the glass window separating him from the actual room, he can make out your face - bruised, scratched, your hair matted with blood - and almost nothing else as the rest of your body is practically covered under blankets of surgical tarp. There's a whole team of people rushing around you with all kinds of equipment, an IV machine dripping fluids into your left arm and your heartbeat monitor beeping obnoxiously.

Eddie swallows nervously when he sees that there's so much blood. He doesn't know if you've broken any bones or what the extent of the damage is, but the amount of blood staining the sheets is enough of an indicator. When his eyes narrow in on the little glint on your finger - the gold ring on your left hand - it breaks him, sending him to his knees as he breaks down in tears.

It's pathetic, really, he berates himself for crying in public. But he hasn't ever felt this hopeless, at the mercy of fate, begging time to go faster so he can hold your hand again and whipser in your ears to come back to him. He doesn't know how much time passes until he's completely out of tears, staring dead-eyed at his reflection, half-consciously registering the nurse's comment that he needs to leave now.

When Eddie drags himself back to the waiting room, the room stills. Hopper is the first to stand up, alarm in his eyes, as everyone else turns to look at Eddie. It's a completely unfamiliar sight to them, seeing Eddie cry, and it puts them all on edge.

"What's the news? How's she doing?"

Eddie lets out a shaky sigh, screaming at himself to keep his shit together. You had people who cared about you and were worrying about you, the least he could do was manage to say what he saw.

"They were... doing all these things to her. God, Hopper, she looks awful. There's so much blood and she looked so... lifeless, just laying there. I don't even-" Eddie wants to remain calm, he wants to say that you looked worse for wear but that you'd probably pull through, but the words feel foreign and difficult.

He doesn't know if it's too optimistic to say but he thinks it'll all work out, or if it's too late to try and save the mood. All he can feel is the crushing weight on his chest, and suddenly the entire room feels too small for him.

"I-I need to get out. Call me if anything changes." is all Eddie can blurt out before sprinting out the door, leaning against the hospital wall with heavy breaths.

It's a cold night and he's glad for it, the chilly breeze soothing his flaming skin as he slides down onto the pavement. He's spiraling and catastrophizing when he feels a gentle hand on his shoulder, bringing him back to reality. To his surprise, it's Nancy, who sits down on the cold pavement next to him, Jonathan's jacket wrapped around her shoulders.

"It's okay to cry, you know." she starts out, glancing at him from the corner of her eyes.

"I know." Eddie responds quietly, staring at the ground.

She smiles at him sadly.

"Seriously though. If you need to cry, vent, scream, throw something, let your emotions out... as long as you're not hurting anyone or yourself, it's fine. And even necessary in moments like these."

Eddie nods slowly, allowing her logical advice to register in his brain as he leans backwards against the harsh brick wall. He doesn't have much to offer her in terms of company or conversation but she seems to be understanding of it, simply keeping him company in silence.

"Thank you." is all he can manage to say in return. She smiles, this time a bit brighter.

"Of course."

After about half an hour, Eddie feels calm enough to re-enter, where the nurse is now back with an update.

"The surgery went well, but there are some additional procedures that need to be performed in order to make sure her vitals are steady. I'm afraid this is going to be a process which lasts a few days."

Eddie opens his mouth to object but Hopper cuts in as the oldest, giving the younger man a commanding glare.

"Of course. We'll swing by when we have time. Please call me if there are any significant updates." is Hopper's polite response.

Everyone then gets up to leave except for Eddie, who takes off his leather jacket and forces himself to get comfortable in a nearby chair. Steve raises an eyebrow.

"Shouldn't you be heading home? You heard the nurse, this could last a few days."

Eddie forces a grin, shaking his head.

"I know, I'll... I'm just going to stay a bit longer, and then I'll head home. You all go ahead first."

It's a lie and once everyone leaves, Eddie falls asleep at around two am out of pure exhaustion, his neck awkwardly leaning against the window. He wakes up at around six then forces himself to go to the nearest gas station to grab a shitty breakfast, then he's back to his spot in the waiting room.

Over the next few days, he sees your friends visit here and there. Steve and Robin drop by after their shift at Family Video, both of them trying to coax Eddie to get some proper sleep, but Eddie refuses and insists that he's getting 'good enough sleep' here on that plastic chair. Hopper drops by every few hours, a sad look on his face when he sees that Eddie is almost always there, in the same spot, looking absolutely miserable. Nancy and Jonathan bring along a basket of food when they next visit and hand it off to Eddie, which Eddie accepts gratefully. It seemed that word had gotten around that Eddie hasn't left the waiting room since your accident.

Eddie's grateful that Nancy and Jonathan at the very least don't push him to leave, though he can tell by their pitying gaze and gentle questions that they're worried about him. But Eddie doesn't care. He can't stand the thought of not being here when you're finally stable and awake, and he's not even sure if he'll be able to sleep much if he drives back home and falls into his own bed.

The only form of entertainment in the ER waiting room - bar the occasional arguments between family members sitting next to him and the countertop magazines stacked on the tables - is the small television hung by the counter, stuck on the same channel 24/7. Right now, it's playing a re-run of the Golden Girls, and a sad smile appears on Eddie's face as he's reminded of how much you love that show.

Eddie then feels a light tap on his shoulder, the same nurse from three days ago standing in front of him with a bright smile on her face. It's a remarkably different expression to how she's been looking over at him and the others the past few days: sadness, worry and sympathy.

"She's awake and stable. Would you like to see-"

"Yes!" Eddie practically shouts, interrupting the rest of the nurse's sentence and attracting the rest of the room's attention. He coughs awkwardly, realizing that he's probably being a bit rude. "Please."

The walk to your room is short and you're lying against a semi-propped bed, thumbing through a book with a bored expression on your face. The call from the nurse that you've got a visitor makes you look up from your book, your heart thundering in excitement when your eyes fall onto Eddie's perfect face.

"Eddie-"

He's quick to run to you and hug you tight, loosening his grip when you pat his shoulder gently with a laugh, reminding him that you're still a bit sore. He blushes in embarassment, weakening his hold but not letting you go as his hands gently cradle your face. He turns your face in every single angle imaginable, as if examining your skin for any visible damage.

"How are you feeling? Does anything hurt? Did you break anything? Do you want anything? I can run down to the van and drive to-" he's rambling like a crazed man, his eyes methodically scanning you up and down whilst he's listing every little thing you could ever need.

It's not until you softly squeeze his hand that he stops.

"I'm fine, Eddie. I have a fractured rib and a concussion, but the worst of it is over. I'm on medication and I feel fine." you reassure him, dragging your thumb over his palm to remind him of your presence. Eddie doesn't seem fully convinced, however, before he's rattling off again.

"Okay, then how about food? Are you hungry? Thirsty?"

You chuckle, pointing to the bedside table with a half-empty tray and glass of water.

"It's a hospital, Eddie. They've been taking care of me just fine."

He pouts at that, scooting closer towards you.

"That's supposed to be my job."

Eddie looks like a wounded puppy, his gaze a mix of worry and adoration, and it makes your heart melt at how sweet your boyfriend is. You lick your lips and then press a chaste kiss on his lips, hoping he doesn't realize how dry your lips are.

"You've done more than enough, babe. I heard that you've been camping out in the waiting room the past few days." you tease, which makes Eddie chuckle.

"Couldn't stand the thought of being far away from you, princess. Besides, it was kind of fun. Like a really... shitty camping trip."

The warm atmosphere in the room turns semi-chaotic again when you notice Hopper and all your friends rushing into the room, Steve holding an awkwardly large 'get well soon' boquet of flowers and Robin and Nancy being the first to tackle you in a group hug, Robin practically shoving Eddie out of the way. Eddie would complain, but it's clear that your closest friends have been just as worried as he's been, so he decides to let it be.

"Aw, you guys shouldn't have." you chuckle, accepting a box of chocolates from Jonathan and a card from Hopper. They all interrogate you similar to Eddie - how you're feeling, if anything hurts, if you need anything - and it makes you smile so much to the point your face hurts.

"We're so glad to see that you're okay now, (Y/n). We were all so worried." Hopper notes, leaning against the railings of your bed. Steve then chuckles, shooting a not so subtle glance at Eddie.

"Yeah, but Eddie worried the most. Even broke the rules to see you."

You raise your eyebrows at that, ignoring Eddie's protests to drop the topic.

"Do tell - what did my loving boyfriend do whilst I was gone?" you question, amused.

"Eddie told the nurse that he was your fiancée in order to see you whilst you were still in surgery." Nancy tells you with a teasing smile, causing you to cock your head in confusion.

"How did he-" you cut yourself off, your right hand automatically going to grasp the golden ring on your left hand. The action and the clear realization dawning on your face makes everyone break out in laughter, minus Eddie, who is blushing furiously from the corner of the room.

After half an hour, the nurse comes in to dismiss everyone, though she tells Eddie that he can stay a bit longer as the fiancée. None of your friends correct the nurse, all of them winking and giggling behind the nurse's back, before you turn around to look at Eddie. He's staring right at the floor, playing with his rings whilst avoiding looking at you.

"Eddie." you call out his name.

"Hm?" he asks, but he's still looking at the floor and his cheeks are still red. You sigh, patting the space next to you in bed.

"Come here, please."

He gingerly shuffles into the space next to you in bed, as you rest your head on his shoulder and pull up the hand with the matching golden ring in front of you. Playing with his matching ring, you smile.

"You're absolutely adorable, you know that? Lying to see little old me?" your tone is light-hearted and Eddie grumbles.

"Was not adorable. It was a life or death situation." he pouts, and you laugh, patting his thigh.

"Okay, I'm sorry for teasing, babe. What I meant was that I think it's really sweet that you camped out for nights outside in the waiting room and that you lied to be able to see me quicker."

A few moments of silence passes and Eddie carefully shifts in his place to look down at you. You look a bit tired - that's to be expected - but now under the golden sunlight streaming through the curtains, your face is vibrant and illuminated. Your hair's framing your face perfectly, your skin is warm against his, and your delicate fingers are drawing circles into his hand. Something shifts in him, he's not too sure what, but his gut tells him it's right.

"It doesn't have to be a lie." Eddie gently suggests, making your back straighten in surprise.

"W-what?"

Eddie takes a deep breath before pulling you off of him carefully.

"I love you. You love me. And the past few days have taught me time is fleeting and I can't take our time together for granted. So..." he shifts nervously beside you, before linking his hands with yours and kissing your palm. "What do you say? Wanna be my real fiancée?"

This time it's Eddie telling you to loosen up your grip when you bring him down for a crushing hug, extending your arms around his neck and nodding furiously into the crevice of his chest.

"Yes, yes, 100% yes."

His smile is blinding - pure, unadultered joy - before his signature smirk returns, pointing to your ring.

"Well, technically you already said yes, but a 100% yes is good too."

You roll your eyes but he cuts you off with a kiss, gentle and sweet, his teeth biting your lower lip. It makes you dizzy and hot all at once and the rest of the hospital room melts away in a euphoric haze, the only sensation being Eddie against you.

-> a/n: UGH I AM SUCH A SUCKER FOR HAPPY ENDINGS AND FLUFF uwu also please excuse the fact that most of this wouldn't happen irl in terms of hospital operations and who can see who I just needed the story to work a certain way lmao.

Can I request a Steve harrington imagine, where him & reader (they are dating) they both work at scoops and some guy is flirting with reader is Steve gets really jealous and protective?

Yesssss I love this!

I can tell by the way that Steve stands a bit straighter beside me and the way his jaw clenches that he's pissed, his hands angrily rolling a scoop of ice cream into the cone with heated fury. He mutters a few words under his breath as I continue to smile at the man in front of me as he rambles on and on.

"But yeah, so now I'm getting a full scholarship for football, it's pretty cool." He finishes, flashing me a flirty smile. I back back the urge to cringe, my eyes turning to look at Steve as he sends me a stern smile before handing the man his ice cream. "Yeah, thanks dude- so are you free today?" The man asks me, completely disregarding Steve as his eyes rake over me in my scoops uniform.

"Oh no." Robin mutters behind me, patting Steve on the back as she passes us, running while there's still a calm before the fast approaching storm. I force a smile, clasping my hands in front of me as I scramble for a polite response.

"Uh, I am but not for you." I answer simply, feeling Steve bubble with anger beside me, the tension in the room steadily increasing as a sly smile stretches across the mans face, his palms flattening on the counter as he leans in towards me.

"Awe, why not? Got a boyfriend?" He whispers, a scowl stretching out across my lips as Steve tugs me back into him, wrapping a protective arm around me as the mans eyes widen in fear and embarrassment.

"Yeah, asshole." Steve mutters, giving the man a bitter smile before threatening lowly. "I suggest you pay up and leave a hefty tip before I show you the door."
