My weekly roundup CW 21
I try to write down my thoughts after watching stuff to create a little weekly ranking in relation to the previous week on my, most of the times, quiet sundays (and because I love lists!). These are just my personal opinions and preferences based on the feeling I got watching the episodes.
And yes, this will contain spoilers!
But first, the perfect appearance this week:
⌠1. The Day I Loved You (Ep 9)
I just started the series this week and I should have waited until it was completely released. Now I'm sitting here having to wait for it to continue. I am in love with the series. And episode 9 wasâŠrough. When reality catches up with you, it usually does so with a sledgehammer. Nikko may have already accepted the idea of being in a wheelchair at some point in the past, even embraced the idea, but when reality hits you, you still feel hopeless, desperate and pissed off for a moment. I thought Justin and Eli's rapprochement was particularly well done. Justin is just a wonderful friend and knows that Eli makes Nikko happy and nothing else he wishes for his best friend. Even if it hurts to be just the best friend. I can't wait for the last episode! I guess it will leave me in more tears than this week's episode.
The most painful moment this week:
â 2. Love Mate (Ep 7+8 Final)
The finale in this sweet first-I-stalk-you-then-you-love-me-series has come. It hurts to say goodbye to them, but I'm all the happier with the ending. Of course the ex played a role again. Of course grumpy-guy had to retreat into himself once more to realize that the ex is just an asshole and shouldn't rule grumpy-guy's life. And luckily sunshine-guy didn't give up, but went to grumpy-guy and showed him that he's not alone and that he won't leave his side just because things got a little difficult. And then he walks down the stairs in that suit and I'm about as ecstatic as grumpy-guy! Yeah, he definitely should have put that suit on earlier! The two are only sweet together and I have them quite firmly in my heart!
Most mesmerised boy this week:
â 3. La Pluie (Ep 5)
Okay, the slow burn is back, which is fine. The first meeting with the father, however, I would have imagined a little later in the story and not on the second dateâŠNevertheless, the episode was very entertaining! I mean, Saengtai's bitchface towards his work colleague, the fact that the jacket so absolutely did not protect from the rain or even when Patts bursts into the room while Saengtai is naked, were all very exhilarating moments that enrich the series so much. What I don't understand is the whole interaction between Saengtai and Lomfon. Well, Lomfon has a crush on Saengtai, but why does Saengtai act like he's also head over heels in love and can't get a sound out when they see each other? I'm so confused.
Best bitchface of the week:
⌠4. Be My Favorite (Ep 1)
Most valid question this week:
That was a ride. I liked Kris' somewhat stiff manner in Sotus, but hereâŠwow! He's a bit of a comedian. In all seriousness, I thought the first episode was promising and I think that's what surprises me the most. The pairing would probably be one of the last I'd think of when talking about chemistry, but they do their thing well. And even though I can't see them falling for each other yet, because Kawi is after all very much in love with the woman Pisaeng will later marry in the other reality, I'm still excited. And yes, I could laugh heartily several times. The two have a really good, comedic chemistry.
Dumbest hero of the week:
â 5. Step by Step (Ep 6)
Pat is starting to understand that he likes Jeng after all. A little bit of progress is allowed in episode 6, but the episode was also really sweet. So many opportunities to flirt and if either of them would have had more courage, there would have been moments for kisses, but I think Jeng understands that Pat is a bit insecure and just needs more time. Nevertheless, this week was again a feast for the eyes, with all the loving looks from Jeng. The good guy got it so bad! I wish Pat wouldn't give Put another chance, but considering the history of the two and the fact that Pat is a people pleaser, it makes it really easy for Put to find the right words and wrap Pat around his finger. I'm not accusing him of anything bad here, and if he really wants to change, good for himâŠbut I'm still Team JengâŠ.
And the best costume choice goes to, no for real...what is that?
⌠6. The Luminous Solution (Ep 1)
There's so much going on here. Two storylines that run side by side and they're both good. This week we first got to know everyone and their problems. We have the couple that has been together for what feels like forever and their flame is slowly dying and a little more communication could work wonders here. At the moment I have the feeling that our doctor doesn't really want to be at home, while Thana is longing for more togetherness with his partner, especially since he just lost his job and his mother needs his help.
And then we get to meet Mai and Ryou, and we're already set up for Enemies to Lovers, and for Ryou's best friend to have a crush on him and cause extra tension. And then of course the cafe that can grant wishes, but at a price and the whole time I was wondering why in the hell's name, doesn't she tell him the terms beforehand? That is already so a bit unfairâŠ.
â 7. My Story (Ep 7)
PhewâŠThe episode was enervating. It was clear that Zeke does not make it to the performance, even if I have not understood to this day, what exactly was the school event and why they have always mixed cocktails with only alcohol and than danced at the endâŠWhat? Fifth's confession was very sweet and should actually show Zeke how important the whole shit is to him. Trust isn't one of those things that Fifth gives away freely and shit man, you lost that trust for now. Yeah, I'm sitting here being pissed at a fictional character for hurting another fictional character. But said other fictional character has conquered my heart and must be protected at all costs! And the end of the episode never happenedâŠThe birthday party takes place and after that is the endâŠ
â 8. Our Dining Table (Ep 8)
Oh the embarrassment after the first kiss, even if it was only on the cheek. I knew it, that there was no lip contact. AnywayâŠI feel sorry for Minoru. I felt for him throughout the episode. And at the end, the idea of going back to how it was beforeâŠNah, not happening! Even if they really wanted to. If there are feelings involved that go beyond friendship, it's hard to go back to the point before, when it was still unspoken. And further, I'm Minoru's father's biggest fan! The guy is empathetic and loving and non-judgmental and I love him!
â 9. Naked Dining (Ep 7)
Okay, another week for Futa to slowly realize that he likes Mahiro. And also slowly admits it to himself. The story of the hot-pot master was a nice addition to the show. And honestly, the last scene of Futa lying in bed with the hot-pot master's words ringing in his ears and turning to Mahiro to just really look at him was very sweet. Not so cute was the previewâŠHonestly, what the fuck? I know there are five more episodes to come, but nope! I do not want!
â 10. The Promise (Ep 10 Final)
The Final. I think after the first 4 to 5 episodes I would have given the series 10/10 stars. Even after episode 7 it would have still been in a very good range. But then came episodes 9 and 10 and too much squeezed in drama at the end. It just made the series seem unrealistic, too contrived. It just killed the feeling that I had at the beginning. I can understand Phu though, because I am one of those people who always tries to please others and always says she is ok and everything is fine. And maybe that's also the reason why he annoyed me so much in the end. Because this quality in myself is so annoying. But instead of the two of them talking to each other, because Nan and his fears of loss, which is also way too real for me, Phu shuts his feelings away first and Nan jumps to conclusions in a huff. And that frustrates me. In the end it went well, but still it made for unnecessary drama that I didn't need. And what was that crap plane crash about? I thought for a moment that Nan would come in and yell "surprise", fortunately not. Yes, I was disappointed with the second half. Why did I continue watching? Because it was too good to drop.
â 11. Our Skyy 2
PuhâŠNopeâŠSo the first episode was still totally ok. I also think that Cher's apartment is much more comfortable than Gun's apartment. Good decision to move there, who needs space when you have love. But seriously. Why not look for a new apartment together that you can make cozy together and where the gamer friend isn't squatting right next to the bed at the PC while the CEO partner is trying to sleep. Yes, the two are cute together, but phewâŠI didn't get the complete point of the second episode. So in general I did, but Cher as a boss didn't work at all. Even Gun was never like that as a bossâŠWell, I feared it last week and was confirmed. Certainly not the strongest episodes.
Honorable Mention
Sparks Camp
Well, the show doesn't make the cut, but it gets an honorable mention. I mean, 10 queer guys trying to find their Spark here. Of course I'm going to watch it! And it's got everything, the nerdy, the athletic, the influencer, the introvert and the extrovert. The comments from the contestants are the best! It remains to be seen which contestants will spark and if drama will arise. Initial bonds have already been forged in a game that included oiling up.
Until then, see you next week!

QUICK READING RECAP
27th to 30th of march 2023
đâšđdoes justin bieber love hailey bieber?
âł 3oS,KoP, frog rx
itâs hard to explain because the answer is yes and no. i donât think he married her because he was deeply in love with her. she was just there, convenient and compatible with him so he considered her a good longterm option. he always had affection and love for her (it just wasnât âin loveâ) and heâs grown to love her more over time. sheâs a good wife on paper and thereâs a sense of being comfortable but i donât think heâs been faithful.
đ«đđ«§does justin bieber miss selena gomez?
âł 4oC, 10oC
yes, he reminisces sometimes and misses her. when heâs bored or upset with how his life is he does wonder how it could have been but i donât think he wants her in a serious way, so in that sense he doesnât miss her.
đđ§žđwhat makes someone romantically desirable (personality) to nctâs jaehyun?
âł heart, stars
when someone wants simple, classic romance. someone whoâs compassionate and gentle. he naturally likes someone whoâs more on the optimistic side and is peaceful and happy.
đźđŠđĄhow does ryujin feel about her masculine image?
âł stars, 6oW, plantain
she is fine with it but she doesnât see it as âmasculineâ herself and wouldnât appreciate being called manly or anything male-adjacent you could say. she thinks sheâs just being her most comfortable self, so sheâs not trying to present a masculine image and nor is she trying to present a feminine one. she basically just sees her masculine image as ânon-idol ryujinâ in her mind, itâs not super deep to her.
đđ„đ„Źhow is crush and red velvet joyâs relationship currently?
âł wheat rx, star, QoC
theyâre out of the honeymoon stage for sure so thereâs a need to be proactive and for them to add spice to the relationship themselves, they also have to deal with conflicting schedules but itâs pretty solid. they have fun together and feel emotionally fulfilled.
đ§đĄđŹhow does aespaâs winter see giselle?
âł house, tower
winter sees giselle as someone whoâs out to get something or achieve a goal but doesnât quite have the ability to yet (ambitious), though winter sees she is working steadily. she thinks giselle is consistent and doesnât expect too many surprises from her. she sees giselle as well-connected (most likely through family) but that despite this she is actually pretty lonely and sort of an outcast.
đđ„đ°is nctâs taeyong dating right now?
âł mandrake, 6oP, emperor
yes. could be in the early stages currently because i get heâs still in the phase where heâs showing off and doing his best to put his best foot forward to impress the other person. strong physical attraction.
đžđ„ĄđŸhow will aespaâs comeback do?
âł cow, 10oW, 7oC
bit confusing because it seems sm will be satisfied with the result and they are being protected and helped in many ways (idk if itâs about past scandals or if this comeback will involve more scandals happening such as plagiarism or even from the members or something). however, the members themselves will be really upset with this whole comeback once itâs over⊠iâm meaning almost wishing they never debuted in this group sort of upset. this could be a sort of filler comeback in the companyâs eyes, so it gives the girls enough exposure and the company enough money while they focus on the next new thing, but itâs not exactly spectacular or what aespa thought they were going to be doing.
đđđrandom prediction for aespa within the next year?
âł 8oC, 5oS
new concept or way of approaching their image. reminds me of embracing simplicity, so i think they will try a more tried and true og girl group method and it will be a good move for them overall. however, there is some sort of interruption coming up for them that will likely also affect their reputation in some way - a scandal, losing someone or something, someone leaking something, a cancellation, sabotage etc. but they will overcome this and are protected.
đđđ§žsomething random about iveâs wonyoung right now?
âł 8oC, 6oC, QoC, 9oS, mistletoe rx
she has a lot of anxiety about having to grow up. she isnât happy about not being a minor anymore and is worried about what people are going to expect of her now, personally and professionally. she is afraid of dating for this reason too, i donât think she has ever been in a relationship and likely even avoids crushes and gets nervous about people approaching her.
đ„âïžđȘis starship mistreating iveâs liz? is it because she gained weight?
âł ladyâs mantle, KoC, judgment
no, theyâre not technically mistreating her nor are they too concerned with her weight gain. theyâre actually worried about her mental health and confidence and liz herself may have even requested to not have so much attention on her after becoming insecure from reactions to her in previous comebacks. i donât think itâs that serious in the sense that sheâs going to be super hidden in this comeback* but realistically she would probably even go on hiatus if she could. however, starship did think they could twist this to their advantage and get some attention from it, all press is good press sort of thing. they think the sympathy for liz and marketing her as an underdog is actually beneficial to them. so in this sense they are not really looking out for her.
*as in sheâs not actually going to be super hidden.
đđđis twiceâs sana bisexual?
âł clover, celtic bean, KoC, justice
yes! but when it comes to serious relationships may focus on men, at least currently.
đ„đȘ·âšwhat did sullyoon think of jinni leaving nmixx?
âł star, devil, empress
she was genuinely a bit sad but she mostly viewed it in a very objective way from a work perspective. she thought it was a good thing because she didnât trust jinni to behave and she thought about how thereâs less people to share their pay between now but she was upset about the fact that jinni was one of the prettier and more talented members (in her eyes) so she was worried people wouldnât like the group as much anymore. mostly, she just did her best to be optimistic.

Okay i saw this TikTok where the girl asked her boyfriend if he had a crush on her and he was like "I'm your boyfriend???" And i thought this was super cute
I think Justin would be super sweet and reply with something like "yes, of course... Do you also have a crush on me?"
Jake would be so extra and scream something like "I HAVE THE BIGGEST CRUSH ON THEM!!!!!"
Dennis i think would kinda be like the guy in the TikTok and say something like "I'm your boyfriend?" but then also something like "yes, I've been crushing on you for ages" sweet bean.
I think lee would be like "honey, i married you. Not only do i have a crush on you, but i love you so much"
Ransom would say no as a joke but then be like "fine, but don't tell anyone", he's a child.
Lloyd would be super dramatic like "i would KILL for you, my darling" and something like "you better also have a crush on me"
(i think this goes in a similar category as "would you love me if i was a worm lmao)
YESSSSSS
Our sweet baby Justin would blush and happily admit to having a crush on you, albeit, very shyly. Like a sweet smile, his cheeks cherry red, his pretty eyes having a hard time meeting yours, "Yes, of course... do you have a crush on me?"
I agree 100% with your assessment of Jakey. He would squeeze you into a tight hug, "THE BIGGEST CRUSH" and then proceed to kiss your face and tickle you. He's so sweet it makes me sick
My lovely Den would be slightly confused and almost stunned. He feels like he's been caught or found out or something, which is silly because he's your boyfriend. "I'm your boyfriend?" "I know, but do you have a crush on me?" "Well, yeah.... for like.... 3 years..."
I LOVE HIM. MY BABY BOY.
"No."
"Liar." You tease. He's quiet for the better part of 3 minutes, not looking up from his pile of papers.
"Yes. But if you tell anyone, I swear to God..."
This crazy fucker. My lovely husband. He would answer exactly like this gif. A cheeky, coy smile, and that fucking devastating wink.
He says nothing. But at the same time, he answered your question completely.

Hi! I hope youâre feeling better after your booster. I remember I felt like I was going to hell and back every hour of the day when I got mine but i agree, way better than covid. I always feel like I forget to reply to literally anything you say and I always feel bad because I swear itâs because of the fact that Iâm busy babysitting a grown man. But to respond to some stuff:
Yes, he did accidentally steal a dog. Our mom took the dog to the groomers and he went to pick it up and they gave him who they thought was our dog. Turns out they accidentally made a mistake because there were two dogs that were identical (my mom looked for pics because i refused to believe it but nope, they looked like siblings and they gave them the same grooming style or whatever). He then all confused sent a pic of the dog to mom and was like âwhy is he acting so weird whats up with him?â And even jokingly blamed her for the reason why the dog hates him bc how dare she groom him. And then they called from the groomers because they realized the mistake. At least it was the same dog and not a completely different one because that would be actually dumb on his part.
Also yes, our parents are going through it because of him. The parts that I donât tell you guys about are when they text or call me to cuss me out because heâs annoying them. The rest of the family finds it hilarious but they unfortunately get the constant texts and voice memos and calls about a fictional character. Earlier this week (i think it was this week? Time is not real for me anymore, my bad) he woke them up at 3 am because he couldnât sleep because he had thoughts about Britin. Our dad actually blocked his number for a full day after that which didnât work because my brother ended up calling his assistant at work and pretended that it was an important family emergency (about him btw!!!! Which is fucked up on so many levels right now) and when dad answered all panicked, he went âdid you seriously block my number because I asked you if you thought Brian is going to profess his love for Justin?â So they are tired of him for sure. But i think we all know that this is not going away any time soon.
And yes, he is getting more and more curious about the cast. I think itâs because he knows heâs close to the ending so now he has a ton of questions that he didnât care for at the start. Iâm genuinely leaning towards showing him the out of the box interview and Randyâs podcast. Galeâs because itâs so interesting and since heâs obsessed with him, heâll probably love learning more about him and with Randy he will be for sure shocked by what Randy is like. And omg I actually almost broke character and had an actual reaction when he lowkey went into RPF territory. I have no clue how we/he ended up here but oh boy. I also weirdly canât wait for him to find out Gale is straight. Because i swear, this man genuinely has a crush on him and i can no longer tell if itâs in a bromance type of way or not.
And he is feeling a little better but unfortunately he had a tiny setback with his recovery this week which sucks. But he is much better and i can tell because for the past few days he didnât want to watch new episodes and didnât even speak much about Brian/Britin (except while rewatching old eps) because he was actually worried he wouldnât be able to give his full attention and watch it properly. And today he was talking to our uncle about how much Brian has changed in the last season and how he has many thoughts about the last season. Which he still has to share with me. And when he does, best believe I will be here in a heartbeat.
Haha no worries! No one is here to hear about my boring little life. You and your brother are the content people are here for.
I am dying over that dog grooming story. I can see how that could happen. One time when I was very little, I fell asleep at my friendâs house. My parents were coming home late from a date night and had the key to my friendâs apartment to let themselves in and grab me. When they got back out into the hallway (this was in an apartment building) where it was light, they realized they had my friend and not me!
Your brother faked a family emergency so your dadâs assistant would put him through? OH NO! That is a bridge too far. Your parents must be so annoyed and angry.
I think we are ALL wondering if what your brother feels for Gale is bromance or perhaps a little something more.
I am excited to hear your brotherâs thoughts on Brianâs growth. I totally get only rewatching until heâs in a place to give his full attention.

Dollarstore Mistletoe ⣠ljn
⣠genre: fluff, friends-to-lovers, female reader
⣠wc: 2.7k
⣠summary: Jeno looked up at the mistletoe then at you, cheeks heating up from the situation. So thatâs why Hyuck had mistletoe.Â
this was going to be a short blurb but sike... enjoy!
-
You sat at the corner of the room, eyes drawn nervously at Donghyuck who was holding a tied up bunch of mistletoe in his hand. Though he was tossing it to himself, you could already read his mind from across the room. He had a sly smirk on his face as he glanced between you and Jeno who chose to sit between Jisung and Chenle.
Donghyuck, I fucking swear. You texted him, eyes growing wide in a subtle warning once he looked back up at you.Â
He laughed out loud before texting you back, Iâm not doing anything.
Not rn but ur going to.
He loved going over to your place just to tease you about your (apparent) undying love for Jeno, constantly pushing you to make a move because Jeno was a âgiant wussâ and âwould not grow balls to do so himselfâ while you âhad potentialâ. And honestly, you werenât sure what to believe when it came to Donghyuck. He was a trickster. Who knew if he was lying this time or not.Â
You could easily recall maybe a week back when you were hanging out with this pest of a boy. He had been spontaneously mustering up a plan to get you and Jeno to kiss underneath some fake mistletoe he could find at the dollar store, which could then lead to confessing.Â
âPlease donât. Weâre not living in some rom-com, Hyuck,â you glared at him, hoping that his ridiculous plan would be thrown out the window, âItâs not going to happen.â There was not a single bone in your body confident enough to kiss the boy youâve held the longest crush on. Donghyuck was wrong when he said you had potential, meaning he could be wrong when it came to this plan he barely put effort into arranging.
âI know,â he replied simply, âBut shit like this is inevitable. Plus youâre forgetting that I have the brain of a mastermind.â You ignored the way he wiggled his eyebrows in an attempt to persuade you, obviously failing. He knew he had to do everything himself, whether you liked it or not. Besides, he knew things you didnât. He knew these plans were going to work.Â
So now, here he sat at Jenoâs house, waiting for the perfect time to dangle the plant above you both. He already knows you had the capability to run if you saw him move even an inch towards you. You were probably as alert as those animals being preyed on on National Geographic, ears perked and everything. Your fight or flight response was already activated just because of him.Â
As for Jeno, he was probably the complete opposite of you. He was leaning back on the couch with a delicate looking smile sitting on his face. Donghyuck was glad that he didnât have a single clue about what was going on. But also... did he ever know what was going on?
A Christmas movie was playing on the TV even though barely anyone was paying any attention to it. Jaemin and Renjun were in the kitchen baking gingerbread cookies, following a recipe they found tiktok, while Jisung and Chenle were playing the nth game of PubG on their phones. Mark and Jeno were probably the only ones paying attention to the film, occasionally letting out a snort or giggle at a cheesy joke being delivered. Then there was you and Donghyuck, the only two aware of the plan that you didnât even want to take part in.Â
âWhy are you holding weed?â Jisung finally lifts his head from his phoneâs screen, brows furrowed at the mistletoe in Donghyuckâs hands. He pointed slightly towards them, arm falling to his side soon after.Â
The older boy gave Jisung an unreadable look, âItâs not weed. Itâs mistletoe.â Again, he tossed it up, barely grazing the popcorn ceiling before catching it.Â
âOhh~ like that Justin Bieber song!â Jisung pointed out. His attention was soon directed back to his phone, probably beginning another game alongside Chenle. Jeno glanced at the younger boy and just shook his head in adoration and slight genuine confusion. It seemed like he literally had no idea, no clue, why Donghyuck was holding mistletoe. This, again, was good news to Donghyuck.Â
âCookies!â Jaemin barged into the living room dressed in a holiday apron and oven mitts. He had flour sprinkled along his chest and collar bone, probably thrown on there by Renjun, who followed closely behind him.Â
Like young kids, attention spans were cut off and brought towards the gingerbread cookies, its aroma soon flooding the room. Through the pride that Jaemin gave off while standing there, you already knew the cookies were good. Especially with the help of Renjun.
Ditching your tense position, you had completely forgotten of your silent duel with Donghyuck, hopping up from the couch and skipping over to Jaemin. The others followed you shortly, Jeno being the second there.Â
Donghyuck pushed himself off the couch last, still playing with the mistletoe between his fingertips. Once spotting you standing directly next to Jeno, he stopped himself from audibly gasping and darted towards you both, holding up his arm above the space between the two of you, âAh! Mistletoe~âÂ
Your heart dropped, hand physically letting go of the cookie. It plopped back onto the tray as you spun around to face Donghyuck and then to an equally thrown off Jeno. You wanted to beat yourself up for letting your guard down for cookies.Â
Jeno looked up at the mistletoe then at you, cheeks heating up from the situation. So thatâs why Hyuck had mistletoe. The math was mathing.Â
Jeno took in what was happening. Even if it was so sudden, Jeno didnât feel like resisting. Instead he stood there and tried to read the non-verbal cues you were showing, trying to figure out whether or not you would want to carry out this unexplained tradition. Your face seemed to express no emotion, though he figured you were deep in thought, trying to process what was happening. And that was exactly what you were doing.
âI told you not to,â you mumbled towards Donghyuckâs direction. The looks you were sending Donghyuck could be used as weapons in some other dimension, but in this one the most you could do was intimidate the boy. In a brief state of panic, assuming Jeno found this situation weird, you tried to leave the situation, avoiding Jenoâs gaze as you did.
âItâs tradition!â Donghyuck attempted to pull you back. He was trying to be Christmas Cupid, knowing that feelings were being exchanged without the otherâs knowledge. He thought heâd be helping.
Jeno shook his head, âN-no, Hyuck, itâs fine⊠if Y/N doesnât want to do it, we canât force her.â He felt himself gulp, mostly from the subtle rejection heâd received, before quickly reaching for a cookie and fleeing the scene.Â
Donghyuck turns to you, arm dropping to his side and mouth wide open, âHe was going to kiss you!âÂ
For a second, you doubted Donghyuck, shaking your head. But then at the realization that Jeno had left the room in a rather disappointed state, you probably were wrong and for once, Donghyuck was right. But there was no way you were admitting that in his presence.Â
It wouldâve been completely silent if it wasnât for the movie playing in the background. Everyone was still trying to process what had just happened, while you were still staring Donghyuck down.Â
âAre you blaming me?â You gestured to yourself. Sure it could have actually been your fault but that really wasnât good for your degrading self-esteem right now.Â
âYes,â Donghyuck threw the fake mistletoe onto the three seater couch, âIt looked like you didnât want to kiss the boy. You basically stomped on his heart.â Sure Donghyuck was over exaggerating but knowing how much Jeno liked you, you probably did.Â
âNo I didnât,â you try to deny everything, not wanting your hopes to be crushed by false information and beliefs.Â
âYou did,â Mark butted in, âHe looked like a kicked puppy.â You shifted your gaze from Donghyuck to Mark, someone who you could trust a bit more, and felt your frown deepen. Feeling yourself stumble back in the slightest bit, you glance at the stairs where Jeno had gone, probably to his room. Should you talk to him?Â
âJust go talk to him,â Jaemin pushed on, as if he could read what you were thinking, âBut take an extra cookie with you.â He held the tray of baked goods in front of you and you complied, slithering past Mark, Renjun, and Chenle before going up the stairs.Â
You had no idea what you were going to tell Jeno. That you wanted to kiss him? That would come off as weird.Â
The pair of cookies in your hands could be your conversation starter.
Upon reaching his door, you raise a fist to knock.Â
If it was possible, Jeno would slap himself so many times just so he could knock some sense into himself. He was sitting at the edge of his bed with his palm to his forehead, feeling like an entire circus. Why the hell didnât he even act like he was weirded out by Donghyuck and that fucking mistletoe? Why did he act like he was waiting for a long time for that opportunity to kiss you?Â
Maybe because he was. But he shouldâve at least pretended like he wasnât.
Jeno threw himself back into his bed, blinking at the ceiling while he mentally attacked himself for being so foolish. How would he recover from this? He shouldnât have ran out of the room like that. It made him so obvious. It gave away the feelings he hoped he had been hiding well the entire time.Â
Jeno youâre so fucking stupid, he thought, teeth gritting.Â
He clenched his fist and started to hit the middle of his forehead lightly with his knuckles, startled when he heard a loud knocking sound.Â
Was that my forehead or was that the door?
Sitting up, he pivoted his head so that he was facing the door, brows furrowed as he waited for another indication that the sound was (hopefully) the door and not his skull.Â
âJeno, itâs me.â Your voice was muffled and your shadow could be seen through the bottom.Â
For a second, Jeno hesitated, unsure if he was ready to face you at that moment, but he soon decided against it, standing up and towards his bedroom door in order to let you in. Opening it just a crack, he peeked out, seeing your shorter figure staring up at him, eyes slightly unreadable, âI brought cookies.â
Jeno couldnât help but feel his chest warm up at the sight of you. He held back a smile to keep himself grounded. Pulling the door to create a wider opening, he let you in.
âAre you okay?â You knew he wasnât okay. Just by the look in Jenoâs eyes, you could tell he had a lot going on in his head. You didnât want to start the conversation off with âI actually wanted to kiss you tooâ because in all honesty, anyone faced with that statement would be scared in one way or another, regardless of their feelings for the other.Â
âI guess you can say that,â Jeno hummed and sat at the foot of his bed. You handed him one of the cookies and bit into the second one you brought. Jeno couldnât even make eye contact with you. He was a smidge too embarrassed to do so.Â
You sat next to him, the heat of your bodies bouncing off of each other from how close you were, âWhat do you mean?â You were drawing the conversation out while you still tried to run through what you were gonna say as your version of a confession.Â
He shrugged, taking a small bite, almost a nibble, from the cookie, âI know youâre not stupid, Y/N⊠Donghyuck was painfully obvious and so was I.â Feeling his heart pick up its pace scared him. This only meant he could either lose total control of his words, or just not speak at all. He focused on keeping them tame, âIâm sorry you had to witness that. Just forget it happened, okay? Sometimes, Donghyuck doesnât know heâs going overboard.âÂ
Jeno spoke softly, head dipping down and bangs falling over his eyes. The glasses he wore slipped down his nose as he did, but he quickly caught them with the tip of his index finger.Â
âDonghyuck doesnât normally pull shit like that unless he has to,â you say as a reply, âHe somehow always knows things we donât.â You hoped Jeno got the hint from what you were saying, but by the way he kept his attention at the cooling gingerbread cookie in his hand as he nodded, you knew that he was completely clueless. Were you being too subtle?
âDo you know why he decided to buy that plastic plant in the first place?â You took a bite from Jaeminâs cookie and swung your legs.Â
Jeno shrugged again, âBecause heâs Donghyuck?â
 You both let out brief chuckles but you regained your composure and sighed. From downstairs, you hear the others laughing at something, some background noise from the near silence in the room.
âBecause he knows how I feel.âÂ
Jenoâs ears perked up at this statement, still afraid to look at you. He shifted in place, âHow you feel?â
You rolled your eyes at Jeno, hitting him playfully, âLee Jeno!â Yeah, you did want to drag the conversation in the first place, but it was getting too long. You wanted to get to the point and Jeno wasnât taking any of the hints you were throwing.Â
âWhat?â He whined, acting as if you hit him hard when everyone knows heâs got the muscle to resist that pain. This familiar feeling between the two of you, the wave of comfort he felt, caused him to turn towards you. Once he realized what he had done, he turned away quickly, feeling himself grow timid once again.Â
âI know youâre not that stupid either, Jeno. Can you please look at me?â To no surprise he doesnât listen. He was getting all flustered. The shy, blushy type of flustered.Â
Lifting your hand up to his face, you grabbed it softly and turned it so that he was facing you. He complied, letting you turn his head, only, his eyes were shut tightly.Â
You huffed, âJeno! Please open your eyes.â He shook his head while his face was still being held with your hand, âPlease?âÂ
Again, he refused, this giving you permission to attempt to pry his eyelids with your own fingers. Though you gave up quite quickly. You didn't want to force them open as any sort of mishap was bound to happen.Â
âLast chance to open your eyes,â you warned, only he didnât know what you were warning him about. He still kept them closed, feeling comfortable in this position he was in now, âFine, Jeno, if you donât open your eyes, then I willâŠâ
âYou will what?â He smirked. Though you couldnât see his eyes, you could see his emotion through his raised brow. Deep down he knew what you were about to do. But he wanted to sit back and wait for it to happen.Â
Without thinking, you leaned in and brought his lips down to yours. At first there wasnât any response from Jeno, but once he had finally processed what was going on, his eyes shot open, and as if it was some sort of instinct, he kissed back.Â
You liked this feeling. Maybe you wouldâve felt it sooner if you hadnât refused to kiss him earlier. But also you liked it how it was right now, and Jeno felt the same. Private, without any of the others watching. And it wasnât because you had to follow a tradition, it was because you both wanted to do it.
After a few more long seconds, you both pulled away, beaming shyly at each other. You finally let go of his face and sat yourself back.Â
âWhat wasâŠ?â Jeno was at a loss of words.Â
You laughed softly, almost coming out as a giggle, âThatâs how I feel.âÂ
Maybe Donghyuck was right when said you had that sort of potential.Â

continuation of this, because why not:
.
âOh, this is fun,â Loki hadnât realized just how irritating his voice could get until now, was this why the Soldier kept throwing knives at him?Â
âI am only dragging you along because our interests align for now, do not expect this to continue.â He snapped over his shoulder, keeping an eye out for any potential attack even as the alarms continued to blare. He was lucky his counterpart was in such poor shape; had he even had a fraction of his usual power available, this entire enterprise would be much, much more difficult.Â
As it was, Loki was faintly impressed his counterpart had accomplished as much as he had when he was running on fumes. When he wasnât sneering at the sloppiness of his plans, anyway. Magical compulsion or no, what kind of idiot went and paraded about proclaiming their intentions for subjugation?
âCome now. Do you honestly expect me to believe this isnât to your advantage? Unleashing double the chaos.âÂ
It was a pity breaking the magical compulsion had done nothing for his counterpartâs mental state. On a number of levelsâ he was a stoneâs throw away from madness, all jagged pieces aimed outwards and it was uncomfortable to look at for too long for reasons Loki preferred not to dwell upon.Â
Well. At least he could use it to his advantage.Â
.
Victor was not a happy camper.Â
First had been the discovery that, as heâd suspected, that damn gun had landed him in another universe.Â
Second, said universe was quite possibly his worst nightmare.
Because his country didnât exist, hadnât existed for decades now: the Latverian civil war in this world had decimated its people in more ways than could be named, neighboring countries had snapped up just about every scrap of territory his men had fought and died for and goddamn HYDRA was using war orphans for their experiments.
...had he been a bit hasty when heâd taken out the first base heâd encountered? Sure. Sorting out the logistics for taking care of all the victims heâd encountered was a major pain in the neck, and this accelerated his plans for establishing himself in ways he hadnât entirely expected. Klaue was as annoying as ever, and, if possible, even more of an arrogant bastard to deal with in this strange world.
Did Victor regret it? Absolutely not.
Especially when it resulted in his encountering his first ally in this hellscape.Â
...though this âinvoluntary twinâ thing would get old fast, he just knew it.
âHello, Winter.â Victor greeted with a smile. âLooks like youâve been busy, too.â
.
The Winter Soldier could not believe that Justinâs stupid self-help books had been good for something, but here they were.
Him, and the poor bastard who shared his face and was now stuck in that incredibly awkward stage between âliving weapon approximately three seconds from Murderâ and âgoing through deprogrammingâ, smack-dab in the middle of what had used to be a HYDRA stronghold but was now a bloodbath because somewhere in between fighting himself, and everyone else coming at them, the other Winter Soldier had started breaking through his programming.
He hadnât realized just how much progress heâd made, until now.Â
âWhat do you want me to call you?â He asked again with a tired sigh.
âThe Asset does not neeââ
âOh, fuck no. Pick something else, youâre a human being, you have value.â ...goddamn it, he sounded just like Justin.Â
Ugh. Justin could never, ever know, heâd never let him live it down...okay, the worst part is that he would, not that the idiot with a death wish needed any encouraging when it came to this sort of thing.
The manâd had a knife to the neck, and still offered him food, offered him help. The Winter Soldier gave his counterpart a dubious glance, and fought back a shudder.Â
As much as he sympathized with the guyâ heâd been there, literallyâ the idea gave him chills.
Though...he could almost see it, now. If he squinted, he could see the tiniest speck of self-determination that HYDRA had tried its best to crush into oblivion, the ghost of a hint of personality in the twitch of his right hand, the way his left hand curled.Â
âRight, okay.â He sighed. Again. He probably sounded like a goddamn teakettle, but fuck it, he was at the end of his rope here, dealing with people was Justinâs thing, he was much better at punching people. âIf youâre anything like me, youâre going to have some serious migraines in the next few months, and no, aspirin doesnât do shit. You have questions, means your personalityâs coming back up which is good... oh, youâll probably want to stick around for answers because Iâm about as confused as you are.âÂ
Because this is what happened the one (1) time he tried to be nice and check up on Justinâs friend group. He couldâve been chasing down that lead in Argentina, but no, he was stuck here instead.Â
Ugh.Â
.
Ivan was running on spite, caffeine, and not much else.Â
Living on the streets was a pain in the ass, exacerbated by the fact that he was apparently supposed to be dead and...buried? Cremated? He wasnât entirely sure, none of the sources heâd found had been able to specify and to be completely honest, he hadnât tried too hard to look.
Just seeing his own name in the articles had been disturbing enough, the realization that a version of him had apparently gone through with his suicidal plot was...something. Not great. His vodka stash back home was going to take a hit as soon as he got back.Â
As disturbing as reading his own death had been, itâd still been no match for what heâd been able to find on the man whoâd given him another reason to live.Â
Because this worldâs Justin Hammer was still alive and well, and locked up in an unspecified supermax for the foreseeable future, and...
An incompetent idiot with far more money than brains, apparently.
Which was so far from the man he knew it was hilarious, because Justinâs charisma had been enough to get a dictator of a sovereign nation wrapped around his finger without even trying, had the boogeyman of the intelligence world on speed-dial and an alien god as his bodyguard-slash-PA. He was untouchable on a number of levels, so when Ivan had first read that article?
He hadnât believed it, at first.Â
Had been certain it was an imposter, and while he probably shouldâve spent that time researching how to get back home, heâd instead ended up down a rabbit hole of what kind of man Justin Hammer was in this world.
Call it morbid curiosity, or whateverâ but Ivan had to know.
It wasnât like he was making much progress on his own, anyway, not when his resources were staggeringly limited.
And then.Â
A sleek car pulled up by the overpass where heâd been sleeping, and the window rolled down to reveal a face Ivan was inordinately glad to see.Â
âGet in loser, weâre going shopping.â Loki called, and Ivan didnât even question why there were two of him. Or why his twin looked like a grad student during finals week.
âMean Girls? Really?â
âHe was correct in calling it a classic.â Loki replied with a haughty sniff as he pulled away from the curb. âBesidesâ from what Iâve seen, I also know more about this worldâs culture than their Captain.â
His twin looked lost, as he stared between them both and whoops, that was probably a terrible first impression. âIs this one of your allies?â
âYes.â Ivan said, even as Loki spoke.
âWhen heâs not blasting us all to other dimensions, certainly.âÂ
âIt was an accident!â
It was a good thing Loki had so much practice driving, because he would have gotten very nervous by the way their eyes met in the rearview mirror otherwise. âOh, I know. Iâve told youââ
âThere is no innovation without riskââ Ivan defended, only for Loki to snort.
âHave fun explaining that to Victor.âÂ
Ivan froze for a moment, breath stilling in his throat. On a good day, Victor was the epitome of a type-A personality...
âHeâs here too?â
âOh, yes. Not sure where exactly, but how do you think we found you?â
âIf you say magicââ
âAre all your allies mortals?â Lokiâs twin asked with just the slightest hint of a sneer, and just like that all levity was gone and Ivan didnât even need to meet Lokiâs gaze to know his answer.
âIf you have a problem with that, feel free to leave. Right now.â
âCome nowââ
âIvan here blasted us all across space and time, without tearing open any paradoxes or destroying any timelines, entirely by accident. Victor? Is the ruler of a sovereign nation feared and respected throughout the realm. I do not know your approach to such things here, but any insult to my allies is an insult to me.â
.
Ivan...probably shouldnât have been too surprised to discover that Victor had not only amassed a following of rabidly loyal minions, but also managed to meet up with the Winter Soldier. Er... two Winter Soldiers.
Man, this was going to feature in his nightmares for months.
âWhereâs Justin?â Was the very first thing Victor said upon seeing them, and he cringed as the rest traded looks because of course the one whoâd introduced them to each other was the missing link now. Justin was hands-down everyoneâs favorite, and if Ivan was stuck being the one to break it to them after having spent hours hacking just to get a name?
Man, this was not going to be pretty.
âFirst, you have to promise not to get mad.â
âWhat.â
Ivan told them.
...suffice it is to say, nobody was happy to hear the answer.
.
âOkay then.â Victor said, face impassive save for the way his eyes gleamed. âItâs been a while since I did a prison break, anyway.â

Too Late
Pairing: Lee Chan x Reader, Jeon Wonwoo x Reader
Genre: Angst, fluff, e2l au, hogwarts au
Word Count:Â 1.8k
Warnings: a couple of swear words
Summary: âHe was too lateâ... âShe was too late.â
a/n: This is for my secret santa @samuelkimzâ iâm sorry itâs so late, and iâm also sorry because there is not a lot of fluff in here if any
âLee Chan!â All heads in The Great Hall turned in the direction of your voice. Except for one, belonging to the bane of your existence. Lee Chan, who often goes by Dino, was currently laughing his ass off at your demise. At the sight of you two everyone went back to what they were doing, used to yours and Chanâs altercations by now.
âW-what? I-I didnât even d-do anyth- HAHAHA,âhe couldnât finish his sentence as his laughter bubbled up again. And you did have to admit, you would be the same way if you were in his position. Laughing so much that your stomach would start hurting. youâd probably take pictures too if you were being honest.
âOh so your foot just so happened to move in between the tables right as I was walking past you, Lee? And is it just a coincidence that that made me trip and drop all of my bloody food huh?â If this had been anybody else you wouldnât dare speak to them that way. But of course, it's Chan, your well-known enemy.
Lee Chan, Slytherin seeker and one of the most popular boys at Hogwarts. He and 12 other boys make up Seventeen, a group known for not only their good looks, but also their talent. They were the it boys of magic. Everyone wanted to either date them or be them. You, you wanted neither. You just wanted them to leave you alone. Well, except for your best friend Seungkwan. Speaking of the devilâŠ
âOk Y/n how about we donât commit a murder today. Come now, thereâs no use crying over spilt potion.â It was a good thing that he had come at that time seeing as you were 5 seconds away from punching that douche in the face. Seungkwan led you away from Chan, towards the Gryffindor table. He gave you his food to eat, claiming that he was on another diet.
âAgain, Kwannie. You need to eat! Here letâs share this Steak and Kidney pudding!â
âNo, I canât-â
You shoved a spoonful into his mouth anyway.
âWhat a prick,â you scoffed under your breath. As you were preparing to stand up again a pale hand came into your view. Slowly you looked up and came face to face with Jeon Wonwoo. Your breath hitched as you met his eyes. He was stunning, maybe not as handsome as Chan but stunning nonetheless.Â
What are you saying you dingbat. Did you just call that idiot handsome!?!?
What are you saying you dingbat. Did you just call that idiot handsome!?!?
Wonwoo clears his throat and it isnât until then that you realize that you had been staring at his face for a little too long. You blushed and took his hand, feeling a little insecure about your weight.
âThank you Wonwoo,â you said in a small, timid voice. This is how you usually are. Quiet and shy, but Chan really brings out the worst in you. You look down, blush still prominent on your face, and it was only then that you realized your books scattered across the floor.Â
You let out a groan as you fell to your knees and started to pick up the textbooks one by one. As you were about to pick up your potions book, a hand beat you to it. The same hand that had helped you off the floor. Heâs pretty nice for a Ravenclaw.
After gathering all your books, you stood up and rushed towards The Fat Lady, muttering a quick thanks to Wonwoo on the way.Â
âCaput Draconis,â you all but rushed the words out, an even more urgent feeling to get in your bed overcoming you. Once inside the common room, you headed up the stairs, taking the steps two at a time. Bursting into your room, you flopped down into your bed, not even bothering to take your robes off before you fell into a deep sleep.
âY/n come on! Letâs build a snowman!â A voice called. One that youâd definitely heard before but you canât put a name to it.
âI canât, itâs too cold!â Is thatâŠyour voice. It definitely is but you donât remember ever moving your mouth.
âItâs not that cold, you big baby.â
âBut Iâm your big baby arenât I,â your voice responded.Â
âY/nnnn,â the voice whined, âWake up.â
âHuh?â that voice. Where have you heard that voice from?
âY/n, wake up. Wake up.â Isnât that...
âWake up you bloke! Itâs suppertime.âÂ
Chan.
After your rude awakening, you and a couple of girls were walking to The Great Hall. They were all gossiping about something you could care less about and you were pretending to listen. But your mind was elsewhere. You kept going back to your dream. Was that Chanâs voice? And were you guys dating? God, you got a headache just thinking about it.
âY/n? Were you even listening?â Seulgi asked you. She was nice and you kinda feel bad because you were, in fact, not listening.
âI-Iâm sorry? What did you say?â
âI asked you if you have a date for the Yule Ball? We all do and weâre so excited!â you know she meant well. You did. But it kinda hurt knowing that you donât have a date to the ball and that you probably would never get one.
Before you could answer her, someone else did from behind you.
âYes, she does. Well, if sheâll allow me to take her?â You slowly turned around and, for the second time that day, came face to face with Jeon Wonwoo. Jesus, heâs everywhere. He let out a little chuckle at your expression which you guess was a mixture of confusion, surprise, and skepticism. âWell? Will you be my date to the Yule Ball?â
You werenât an idiot. You know that this was a once in a lifetime opportunity because for as long as you have been at Hogwarts, no one has ever been Jeon Wonwooâs date to a ball. No one. You turned to look at the girls who were all sporting looks of jealousy, except for Seulgi. You turned back to look at Wonwoo, who for some reason was way closer than before. You let out a nervous giggle.
âUh, s-sure Wonwoo. Iâd love to be your date to the Yule Ball.â
You let out a deep breath before going down to the Gryffindor common room. Your dark blue dress was flowing behind you as you walked down the stairs. Youâll admit, you looked great. Seulgi was nice enough to help you with your makeup, which you were extremely grateful for. You probably wouldâve poked your eye out if you had attempted it yourself. As you made it down, wolf whistles could be heard from your friends. You rolled your eyes before making your way over to them, slightly wobbly because of your heels.Â
âDamn ma, you look good,â one of your friends, Yeonjun, said upon your arrival.
âShut up,â you replied while rolling your eyes.
âIâm serious, Wonwoo wonât be able to keep his off of you.â
Which was true. He told you himself a little while later at the ball while you were slow-dancing.Â
âYou look really beautiful tonight.â
âThank you. You donât look too bad yourself.â He chuckled before leaning closer to you to whisper in your ear.
âCome outside with me.â You looked at him, confused, before slightly nodding your head. He held out his hand for you to take and you did, your other hand holding up your dress so that you donât trip. Neither of you noticed a pair of eyes watching you leave the room.
Once outside, you took a seat on a bench, glad to be out of that stuffy room and off of your feet. You were definitely going to have blisters tomorrow. Wonwoo sat next to you, planning his next move. He decided to just be straightforward.
âHey Y/n, look here for a second.â And the moment you did, you were met with a pair of soft lips on yours. Your eyes widened as you froze, not believing that the Jeon Wonwoo was kissing you. After a few seconds, Wonwoo pulled away from you. He searched your eyes for any sign that you liked him back but saw nothing. He frowned and moved back in to kiss you again, as if that would make you like him, but was stopped by your hand.
âW-what was that? Why did you just kiss me!?â
âI like you, Y/n. Thatâs why I asked you to the ball so that I could tell you fo my feelings. Do...do you like me as well?â You frowned at the question. Wonwoo was nice, he always has been. And thereâs no denying that heâs attractive. Heâd be a very good boyfriend. But, while Wonwoo was kissing you, all you could think of was one person. Chan.
âIâm sorry Wonwoo, but I like-â
âChan,â he finished for you. âYea, I figured. You should go to him. Go get your man,â he said with a wink. You giggled at the action before thanking him and running back inside. Wonwoo watched you run inside, his heart sinking into his stomach.Â
He was too late.
You rushed back to the ballroom, being careful not to trip. You burst through the doors, which may have been a tad dramatic but you didnât give a bloody shit, looking for your target. You pushed through people, looking frantically for Chan, bumping into Yeonjun on the way.
âJun! Do you know where Chan is!?!?â You yelled over the music.
âChan? As in Lee Chan???â You nodded. âHeâs right there,â he said pointing to somewhere behind you. And you wished that you didnât turn around. Because there was your enemy turned crush snogging a girl against the wall. You hadnât even noticed that tears were running down your face until Yeonjun asked if you were ok. You sniffed, turning to him.
 âYea, Iâm fine.â Lie
She was too late.
this sucks bye, also justine I swear to god Iâll write fluff for you.

I recently got second hole earrings and it inspired me to write this!
Pairing: Geralt x Jaskier
Read on ao3
âDo I really have to do this?â Geralt asked as he got inside his ex-girlfriends car.
âYes.â Yennefer answered without looking at him before turning the engine on and exiting the parking.
âHm. Canât I just buy you a meal instead?â
âNo.â
âWhat about one of those unicorn dildos you wanted?â
âTempting but still no.â
Geralt sighed and raised his hand to run it through his hair before remembering that itâs up in a bun and doing so would ruin it, so he placed it back on his lap instead.
Yennefer rolled her eyes.
âCan you maybe chill a bit? Youâre the one who bet that you could eat 80 hotdogs in a row without puking and you agreed that if you lost youâd get your ears pierced.â She said, hitting him lightly on the shoulder. âA dealâs a deal, you canât just back out now.â
Geralt let out a frustrated grunt. âIn my defense I was wasted at the time, but I know.â
âThen stop being a little bitch. What are you even worried about anyways? Donât tell me youâre scared. It doesnât hurt much, youâre barely gonna feel it.âÂ
âFuck no Yenn. I donât mind a bit of pain, you know that.â
Yennefer turned to wink at him. âThat I do.â
They were both silent for a moment as they reminisce some of the better parts of their previous romantic entanglement.
Yennefer cleared her throat and asked again. âThen whatâs the fucking problem?â
âI just⊠Iâm not sure how earrings would look on me.â
Yennefer hummed and Geralt chuckled softly. âThatâs my line.â
Yennefer laughed but then turned serious. ââŠI personally think theyâd look very sexy on you and fit with your general rocker/bordering on too much leather vibe but if you really donât want to do this then I can find another equally torturous way for you to settle this bet but without any permanent changes to your appearance.â
Geralt was somewhat shocked to see her yield this easily but he probably shouldnât have been. He knew how good of a person she was underneath her cold exterior and he also knew that even though things didnât work out between them she still cared a great deal about him, the same way he still cared about her. Itâs the reason they became such good friends after their inevitable separation, and she would never push him to do something outside of his boundaries.Â
He smiled softly even though she canât see it with her eyes on the road.
 âItâs fine. I made a promise and I intend to keep it.â
 âŠ
 They arrived at the piercing/tattoo parlor soon after, Yennefer telling Geralt about a new sushi restaurant she and her girlfriend, Renfri, went to last weekend as they enter the building. They walked up to the counter where a clerk with shoulder-length curly chestnut hair was waiting to assist them. âHello and welcome to âYellow Lotus Body Artâ, my nameâs Triss. Do you have an appointment?â
Yennefer nodded.
Triss smiled politely. âGreat, could you please give me a name?â
âGeralt Rivia.âÂ
âOh, for the ear piercings right? Please wait a moment while I go check if Jaskierâs ready.â She said before disappearing behind a door.
Geralt side-eyed his friend. âYou made the appointment in my name?â
âYouâre the one requesting their services so isnât it natural?â
Geralt was about to reply with something snarky when suddenly the backdoor opened and the most attractive guy Geralt had ever laid eyes on walked out.
 He was a little bit younger than him, maybe in his mid-twenties and he had short brown hair in a teen Justin Bieber type hairstyle, that while long out of fashion looked really good on him and gorgeous cornflower blue eyes that seemed to look right into his soul.Â
He was wearing an oversized dress shirt with wide pink and white stripes which was messily tucked into his skinny ripped jeans that were folded at the bottom. Several of the buttons at the top of the shirt were left unbuttoned, revealing pale skin covered with a thick patch of chest hair that made Geraltâs mouth go dry.
For shoes he was sporting a pair of brown leather oxford boots that were short enough to show his ridiculous SpongeBob patterned socks. He had various jewelry on, such as a black choker and a simple silver necklace around his neck, rings on his fingers and also several piercings on his ears as well as his nose, eyebrows and one single silver stud on his chin and his arms and collarbone were covered in tattoos depicting yellow flowers (buttercups maybe? Geralt wasnât sure), music notes and many other random designs. Last but not least, wrapped around his wrist was a bracelet with the bisexual flag on which Geralt was especially happy to see and it made his heart soar with hope.
The man looked at both Yennefer and Geralt up and down with a glint in his eye and grinned widely. âHello there! Iâm Julian but everyone calls me Jaskier. I do both piercings and tattoos here and Iâm very happy to make your acquaintance.â He clapped his hands together. âSo! Which one of you is Geralt?â
The pair gave him a dry look, or at least Yennefer did because Geraltâs was closer to smitten more than anything else.
âWhat? I didnât want to make any assumptions.â Jaskier said sheepishly and bit his lower lip. Geraltâs eyes were immediately drawn to the gesture.
Yennefer leaned on the counter and nodded towards her ex with a roll of her eyes. âItâs him.â
âPerfect! Please follow me.â Jaskier said and led them down a hallway and inside a room. There was a tattoo chair in the middle and the younger man motioned for Geralt to sit on it.
âTriss mentioned that itâs your first time getting a piercing correct?â Jaskier asked while putting on some plastic gloves.
âYeah.â Geralt answered and avoided eye contact trying to not stare at the guy too much, something which was proving to be quite hard.
Jaskier sighed and looked up dreamily.Â
âI remember when I first had my ears pierced.â He said and started taking various small packages out from a drawer and arranging them neatly in a surgical stand next to Geraltâs chair.
âI was in middle school and the guy I liked at the time had earrings so I asked him where he got them just to start a conversation and he told me and then offered to come with me if I ever wanted to try it out so of course I said yes and after I did it I became obsessed with piercings so here I am today.â
Yennefer snorted from the doorway where she was standing with her arms crossed. âWait, so you basically just did it for some guy?â she asked in a judgmental tone which Geralt was confused about since she literally brought him here for an even stupider reason.
Jaskier just chuckled unoffended. âNot just some guy! I lost my virginity to him not long after.â He said and started opening the packages and taking various metal tools out of them. âAnd Iâd blame it on the fact that I was a teenager at the time but even now when I fall in love itâs always fast.â He turned and winked at Geralt. âAnd hard.â
Geraltâs eyes widened and he blushed. He cleared his throat trying to feign nonchalance âHm. That doesnât really sound fun honestly.â
Jaskier made a thoughtful sound. âSometimes it is and other times it isnât I guess. Depends on how the other party will respond.â
He seemed to want to say more on the subject, but he was done with the preparations and he had no reason to stall. âBefore we start, I must inform you that all the tools Iâm gonna use have been sterilized and sealed in those packages you saw earlier to avoid infection so you donât have to worry about that.â
He picked up a marker and came close to Geralt to mark the place where the holes on his ears would be made. Once he was done he held a mirror in front of his client. âIs this ok?â
The older man just nodded and Jaskier put the mirror back.
 âHave you thought about what sort of earrings youâd like?â
Geralt had in fact not thought about this at all. âNot really.â He answered honestly.
âWhoa seriously? How do you even come to a place like this without deciding that first?â
ââŠI lost a bet.â Geralt grumbled while Yennefer laughed.
âWell Iâll have your friend here tell me all about it while you go back to the counter and choose something with Triss. Come on now, off you go!â Jaskier said and kicked him out of the room.
Geralt was worried that his newfound crush was more interested in his ex-girlfriend than him so he wasnât really paying attention to what Triss was saying, basically letting her pick the first thing she suggested before hurriedly making his way back to the room.
As he got closer, he could hear Jaskierâs beautiful laugh and he quickened his pacing. He was about to open the door when the question the tattoo artist asked Yennefer stopped him dead in his tracks.
âSo are you guys together orâŠ?â
âNo no, weâre just friends currently. Tried the whole relationship thing out long ago and it didnât work out. Though I must inform you that Iâm dating someone else at the moment but Geraltâs single if you wanna shoot your shot.âÂ
âI just might.â Jaskier was saying as Geralt re-entered the room.Â
Two pair of eyes looked back at him and the piercer shot him a charming smile. âWelcome back big guy! Come here and show me what youâve chosen.â
Geralt handed him the earrings and sat back down.Â
âBlack studs huh? Not a bad choice for your first time.â He said and picked up something that looked like scissors, leaning over Geralt.
âYou ready?â he asked and Geralt took a deep breath which was the wrong thing to do because his lungs filled with Jaskierâs scent and it was intoxicating. If he had to use words to describe it heâd say it was a pleasant mix of lavender and something citrusy with a hint of sweat coming through as well.Â
His heart started beating faster and he looked at Yennefer all panicked. She just raised an eyebrow in return. âWhat? Need me to hold your hand or something?âÂ
Geralt growled and looked back at Jaskier. âJust get it over with.â
Jaskier shrugged and got to work. It stung a bit, but it didnât bother Geralt in the slightest. He actually barely noticed it with Jaskierâs close proximity and the sound of his gentle humming as he worked being all he could thing about.
After he was done, Jaskier picked up a few cotton swabs and poured some sort of clear liquid over them before using them to wipe at Geraltâs ears.
âAll done!â He said after stepping back to admire his work. He gave Geralt the mirror from previously to look at the earrings himself as Yennefer came over as well.
Geralt was pleasantly surprised to note that he really liked what he saw. They were very noticeable with his hair being white and all but they didnât make him look any less masculine as he secretly feared. Plus, they fit quite nicely with his all-black outfit that consisted of black jeans, black combat boots, a black t-shirt and a black leather jacket.
Yennefer whistled appreciatively. âI donât know about you but I love them.â
Geralt shook his head. âNo no, I feel the same way. Thanks for convincing me to do this.â He turned to Jaskier who was smiling back at him. âAnd thank you for everything.âÂ
âJust doing my job.â He said in a sing song voice and turned around, bending down to rummage through one of the lower drawers and giving Geralt a very nice view of his ass. His shirt rode up as well, making the tramp stamp of a dragonfly he had tattooed on his lower back visible and Geralt felt himself getting hotter by the second.
Yennefer noticed him looking and smirked but didnât comment.
Jaskier stood back up and handed him a piece of paper and a small card. He pointed at the paper. âThis one has instructions on what to do after you go home, though the gist of it is clean the holes with a cotton swab drenched in saline solution two to three times every day for 2 months and then youâd be able to take those earrings off and try on others.â
He then pointed at the card. âAnd this is the warranty for the black studs.â He said and took the gloves off, throwing them in a trash can.
âIf you somehow happen to lose them, come by and weâll just redo the process ok?âÂ
âYes.â Geralt answered and cursed himself for his bad social skills. How does he keep the conversation going?
âOh, and I also think I should give you my personal number, yâknow, just in case something happens.â Jaskier added and looked up at him expectantly.
Geralt was quick to take the chance that was given to him. âIâd like that.â
Jaskier beamed at him relieved. He took back the paper and quickly scribbled his number down before handing it to him. âHave a nice day Geralt. And Yennefer too.â
âIâm honored you remembered me. Come on Geralt, letâs go pay.â Geralt smiled and gave Jaskier a small wave as he was dragged outside by his ex.
âGoodbye Jaskier.â

Pairing: Unknown (Saeran Choi) X Female Reader CRACK FIC
Description: You are a humble teenage bookworm, obsessed with the performer Lady Gaga and her catchy music. Or perhaps, itâs not her youâre obsessed with, but her back up dancer, Saeran. When your bestie Sasha offers you the chance to watch a performance front row, a chance encounter happens. Can you successfully woo this ̶s̶e̶x̶y̶ ̶b̶e̶a̶s̶t̶ handsome dancer? Or will your attempt to dress up lead to nothing at all.
This is in NO way shape or form to be taken seriously. It is supposed to be a funny parody of many Wattpad stories we may have read way back when. It is not targeting any one author and is entirely based on stereotypes and jokes made about old experiences.
Little warning: Some of the jokes made could be said to be 18+, but nothing is too over the top. The reader is described to be blond with blue eyes, etc., just following Wattpad stereotypes. All descriptions of the reader are for comedic purposes as well as the âauthors notesâ. The elixir is brought up at the end.
This fic contains and is based on a sketch done by my friend đ€Melkinpumpđ€, who you can find on tumblr here: https://melkinpump.tumblr.com/
ââââââââââââââââââââââ
https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ song from chapter 2!!!
CHAPTER ONE-
I woke up to see my beautiful turquoise bedroom shining in the sun. It was finally time, today I was going to a Lady Gaga concert. My gaze drifted to the Lady Gaga poster on my wall. But hereâs the plot twist. I wasnât in love with her, but him. The man in the back of the poster, Saeran, one of her favorite back up dancers. He was in all of her shows, and today I just had to seduce him best I could, which would be hard because I was such a nerd. I stared lovingly at his face behind hers, tongue sticking out with a blue color to it from the koolaid he had in his hand. It was pretty rock and roll epic. I sighed. Time to get dressed.
I followed the advice of my friend Sasha, and wore one of her tight black leather dresses. Iâm not used to tight clothes, but sheâs a seduction master with 10 boyfriends right now, so Iâm listening. It hugged my 1 inch waist so tight I couldnât breathe, and the cleavage showed almost my whole natural DD rack, but I guess it looks hot. This felt weird, so not like me who usually wears big sweaters and big jeans. Of course, I still need to wear my glasses or I canât see shit. I took down my long, straight platinum blond hair out of my pony tail and brushed it. Lastly, I brushed my teeth incase we do make out.
Sasha arrived in her Jaguar car. Sheâs super rich unlike me. She yelled at me,
âWhy arenât you wearing makeup? Come here letâs fix you up!â
She put on a lot of my makeup for me, thick black eyeliner and bright red lipstick. I put back on my glasses when she was finished, and she smacked my hand.
âNo! Guys donât like girls who wear glasses, show off those pretty blue eyes!â
I sighed as now Iâd be blind for the concert. But itâs ok, itâs all to win his heart. The devil with the white hair and man whore outfit he always wore. It was Lady Gagaâs thing to make him dress like that, I didnât mind because heâs incredibly sexy in it.
I tried not to let my mind wander too much as Sasha drove us to the concert. I could not be nervous, and I definitely couldnât allow him to see that I was actually just a little nerd girl. Tonight, Iâm a sex kitten just for him. Sasha made sure of that.
END CHAPTER 1
HEY guys I hope you enjoyed chapter one :) chapter two is just down below and maybe youâll finally get to kiss Saeran idk itâs not like Iâm the author ;))
CHAPTER 2-
The concert began. And there he was, dancing so close to me as we had front row seats which Sashaâs rich dad paid for. Iâm so lucky to have a rich bestie.
He rocked his hips to the beat, that pink leotard type outfit barely covering much. I could see his beautiful pecs through the heart in the center, shiny from his glistening sweat. Unless Lady Gaga told him to shine up with something, I wouldnât put it past her.
@melkinpump
After a few minutes, my heart stopped beating. He noticed me! His aqua orbs met mine in the crowd, gazing into my soul with such a fiery passion as he danced, white locks stuck to his forehead with sweat. My friend nudged me, smiling. I couldnât believe it. I smiled at him, and started singing the words to the song playing to pretend I was unphased.
And then, it happened. He kneeled down next to me, chains from his outfit clinking a little, leaning in with his hand cupping his ear to hear my voice. He then spoke, the tone surprising me as his voice was rather airy.
âI canât hear you!â
I sang louder.
âYou can be louder than that!â
He smirked at me teasingly. My heart was leaping sky high as I got even louder for him. Iâd do anything for him.
Just then, he passed me his hand, offering to take me up on stage with him. I hesitantly took it, feeling its heat in mine as he pulled me up on stage next to him. It felt unreal!
âYOU GO GIRL WOOOOH!â, Sasha screamed.
Lady Gaga stopped then cued the next song as Saeran passed me a mic. The music started playing and I could feel my heart in my throat. I couldnât let him know this confidence was all a fake to win him as Iâm usually just a bookworm. I sang best I could, the song was a classic, âPoker Faceâ by Lady Gaga (link at the top). To my surprise, Saeran also took a mic. It was just the two of us singing, and the audience was in awe because it sounded so good. I didnât even know I could sing because I never have before, but now I understand I have a hidden talent, and I feel more confident.
As the song wrapped up, he smiled at me and handed me a VIP backstage pass! I thanked him profusely as I got down from the stage, eliciting a wink. I canât believe Iâm going to get to see him backstage!
CHAPTER 3-
Hey guys :/ adult content warning !
Skip ahead to the end of the awesome concert and me and Sasha were heading backstage with my shiny, black VIP pass. It had a mint eye symbol on it which looked bitchin. The guard stopped Sasha from entering,
âSorry, only that one is allowed by Mr. Saeran.â
Mr. Saeran? Now thatâs hot. But Iâm also sad because I want to take Sasha too because without her, I wouldnât even be at this concert! Sasha winked at me,
âItâs ok girl, go live your dream. My dadâs rich so one of my boyfriends is Justin Beiber so I donât need this anyways.â
âThanks bestie.â I smiled at her, preparing myself to go meet Saeran and Lady Gaga alone.
I took in a deep breath, my exposed chest nice and puffed out to attract his attention because I know guys like boobs. Sasha told me that, I donât know much about guys because Iâm a nerd. But hopefully now Iâd be his nerd.
The security guard led me to the back of the hall, opening the big door, revealing Saeran and Lady Gaga, standing and talking. I was in shock! They were both so hot in person! I am so lucky!
Their heads turned in my direction, Saeran hungrily licking his lips upon seeing me. I couldnât get any redder!
Just then, Lady Gaga handed me some blue koolaid and told me to take a seat with a sweet smile. I smiled back and sat like she said. Lady Gaga spoke,
âHello, itâs nice to meet you! You really grabbed my dancerâs attention here as well as mine and the crowds, and I instructed him to pick one lucky girl to meet with today. And here you are! With a singing voice like that, I want to know if you want to join us on tour!â
With that, Iâm certain I stopped breathing. To work alongside Saeran AND Lady Gaga?! Incredible! I didnât mind leaving my old life behind to be sexy and cool always like I was tonight, because at home I was nothing but a 16 year old boring book worm. Iâd be happy to never see high school again, but Iâd miss Sasha.
âYes!â I squeaked happily.
âGood girl~â Saeran cooed. I wasnât expecting him to call me that, and I blushed red to my ears.
âFirst, letâs finish that drink with a toast to you joining us!â Lady Gaga cheered.
âOk! Cheers to our new pet here!â, Saeran said raising a glass too.
Itâs weird that he called me pet, personally I think a little ominous. But itâs ok, he can call me as he likes.
As I tasted the koolaid, it was super bitter and burned my throat. Saeran and Lady Gaga smiled at me, and I smiled back, forcing myself to chug it as they watched eagerly. I then felt super dizzy and sickâŠwhat was this koolaid? As the room started spinning, I reached a hand to my head and winced. Saeran sat next to me and guided me to lean on him. Even though I felt odd, leaning on him still made my heart race.
He stroked my hair, whispering âgood girlâ once more. This was getting freaky. Did they drug me?
Before I could open my mouth to speak, Lady Gaga took off her crazy wig. I saw long blond curls fall down as she removed her wig cap. Within another second, she popped out colored contacts, revealing orbs as green as emeralds. That wasnât Lady Gaga at all! It was a fraud! I gasped, but Saeran held me closer, telling me to remain quiet.
âJust as youâre thinking child, this isnât a Lady Gaga concert at all, but a recruitment for our cult! I killed Lady Gaga long ago, and took her place. Saeran here is in charge of choosing one lucky person each show to join us, and with your voice youâll make a great performer alongside us here at the Mint Eye!â
I was so angry and confused. What did she mean she killed Lady Gaga? And a cult? No wayâŠ
Saeran spoke to me again, âdonât worry little blondy, I chose you because youâll be a great assistant for me with that voice. We have a lot of work to do, and lucky for you, since I can tell you like me, you get to work alongside me~â. He cackled and then crushed my phone with his bare hands.
I was horrified. I spoke softly, still feeling weird.
âSaeranâŠI thought you were a good personâŠI know you areâŠI love youâŠâ
He seemed moved in those minty eyes, but wouldnât tell it. His eyes were a tad watery as he scooped me up into his arms and cradled me close to his chest. My head rested on the open heart in his costume.
âI know, and thatâs exactly why I chose you. Iâve been watching you for a long time, y/n. You look different without your glasses. But donât worry, we have contacts for on stage.â
And with that he carried me to his room, and I prepared for my new life as a cultist.
END!!!!
A/N: Hey everyone thanks for reading <3 I wonder what Saeran and y/n are going to do in his room next đłđđđ!!?!! If I get 3 comments, Iâll write the next part :3 which will be rated 18+ though!!! I think you know why ;)))) !!! Pray for me đ because I just broke my pelvis and Iâm so sorry that 18+ part will be a little late because of it but Iâll write it in the hospital! Safe wishes đ! Thanks for all the support!!!!
Fin! *takes a bow*

âLosty Aoneâ / âLosty Mountain Manđâ Series:
Outtake Collection #7:
TALKING STAGE OUTTAKES (Right Before Seriesâ Part 1)
âââââââââââ
A/N: sooooooo. Prepare for the feels in this collection. Tumblr said it was too long because I have too many paragraphsâbyeđ so this will be 7 and next will be 7.5. Please keep in mind they are apart of the same collection as they work well together. I strongly recommend to listen to âAlways Be My Babyâ By Mariah Carey for the entire read, but if repetition annoys you then just do it for the last outtake in 7.5 which is the confession. It tied for the most fluff votes. If anyone is up and reading this hopefully the next part will be up by the time you finish.
This outtake starts off funny and fluffy but ends angsty, serious and I dont wanna spoil. Fluffville Af, but maybe a bit of a rollercoaster. I poured a lot of heart into this collection, though, so I hope you enjoy it:
âŒïžTHIS IS THE 11TH PART IN A SERIES READ THE OTHER PARTS BEFORE THIS ONE: âŒïž
TABLE OF CONTENTS
âââââââââââ
One Day After You Noticed Aone and This Baby Doesnât Know How ACT âïžđ
âHello?â
Futakuchi answered his cell phone grumpily as he half-slept.
âFutakuchi. It is Aone.â
Kenji rolled onto his back, wiping his fallen bangs out of his face. âI know. Youâre the only person who calls me at 4am. Did you have another wet dream about Y/N?â
âNo.â Mountain man answered hurriedly, but then he faltered. âWell, um, actuallyâyesâand Y/N looked phenomenal...âBut thatâs not the reason Iâm calling this time.â
Futakuchi yawned. âYou know, I miss the days back in elementary school when youâd call me because you had a bad dream ... hah....remember Monster Twoosie that lived in your closet?â
Sitting up on his bed, Aone whipped his head to the right to look at his closet. Getting up to close the closet door, he scolded his friend.
âWe donât speak of him, Futakuchi-san.â
Kenji let out a tired laugh. âWhat is this about then? I thought youâd sleep like a baby knowing that Y/N has finally noticed you.â
Aone returned to his bed, covering his legs under his camouflage blanket. âIâm extremely happy. I canât stop thinking about her approaching my desk and smiling at me throughout lunch and her taking my phone to put her number in it. Itâs not a daydream anymore and itâs just.......â he raked his brain for the word.
âA lot?â
Aone was happy he didnât need to speak in full sentences to a best friend who could practically read his mind.
âA lot for me, yes, thank you Kenji-san. Usually, when two people are starting to get to know eachother, there is interest on both ends and they just work their way up from there.â
âBut there is attraction on both ends for you and Y/N.â
âNo. I already know she is the girl for me, and Y/N just figured out who I was yesterday. We are in a very unconventional position.â
âYes but sheâs also the most lost individualâaside from youâthat I have ever met, so, whatâs your point?â
âHow do I get her to like me back?â
âAone, just be yourself. A lot of girls already like you.â
âI donât care about the other girls, I care about Y/N. Iâve been myself the past 2 years and she has never even noticed me, so clearly that does not work.â
âY/N hasnât noticed anyone, Aone-san.... ask her to name all her teachers I bet she canâtâ
âShe noticed the outfielder on the baseball team....â
âRightâshe noticed that he was a tool. And I wonât let you conveniently forget that he approached herâwhich you refused to do for two years.â
âThat is.............................a fair analysis.â
âAnyway, like I said, just be yourself. If Y/N doesnât like you then she doesnât deserve you anyway. Serves her right for being a bimbo the past two years....â
âKenji-san....â Aone warned in a frightening voice. He hated when anyone had anything bad to say about his crush.
Kenji just laughed through his fatigue because he knew that warning was coming.
âI digress. Now as far as being yourself goes, for starters......how was your texting convo tonight?â
Mountain man was confused.
âTexting.......conversation?â
Kenjiâs tired eyes flew open, stunned.
âY/N gave you her number. She put it in your phone. Thatâs what you said.â
Aone grunted in agreement.
âSo you didnât text her?!â
âI didnât know I was supposed to.â
âHoly fuck Aone Iâm seriously gonnaââ
âThere.â Mountain man interrupted his friend.
HUH?! Kenji now felt like heâd just seen Monster Twoosie, because his entire body paled. He spoke slowly as to not lose it:
âAone.....What do you mean by...............................................there?â
âI just texted Y/N.â
âAT 4 OâCLOCK IN THE MORNING ?!?!?!?!â
Kenji yelled so loudly his parents screamed at him to go to sleep before they take away his tv. He quickly quieted down.
âWhat did you text her?!â
Aone paused, retrieving the message. He read it aloud: âGood morning, Y/N.â
Futakuchi groaned loudly, gripping his bangs on top of his head.
âI am gathering that I should not have done that?â
Kenji groaned again in response. âNo, but I did tell you to be yourself. Weâll see how Y/N feels about you being yourself.â
đ« AT SCHOOL đ«
âAone!â
Mountain man was collecting books from his locker, Kenji next to him leaning on the next locker, when he heard his name being called by his favourite voice ever. The middle blocker looked over in the direction of the voice and gulped.
Kenji nudged him. âBe yourself.â He whispered before you approached.
Aone couldnât get used to you actually noticing him. He fantasized about it so much when youâd call your cheer friends name, that it just seemed so surreal now that you were actually calling him. On top of that, you looked so beautiful today. (You may have tried a bit more this morning for him) in your school uniform, light but perfect makeup, and a bright smile.
When Aone heard your voice call his name he had to fight back a deep blush because it brought him back to his dream last night where you were calling his name like thatâonly it was much more breathy and the two of you were in much more.....intimate circumstances.
âHi, Y/N.â the blonde managed to say as he looked down at you. âYou look beautiful today.â
Beside him, Kenji cringed and looked away. He couldnât imagine being such a simp.
âAw, thanks!â You beamed. âI just wanted to say thank you so much for that sweet good morning text. When I woke up to it, it completely brightened my day!â
Hidden behind the locker, Kenjiâs jaw dropped.
Aoneâs heart tightened at your words. âYouâre welcome.â
You smiled. âWould you like to have lunch together again today? My treat this time.â
You had no idea how much you made this manâs life by saying these things.
Aone nodded, blushing and unable to speak.
âGreat. Can you come down here for a second?â You bent your index finger at him as to say come hither and this big blushy baby bent down to your level, confused.
With him now in reach you leaned in to press your soft lips on his cheek. âI forgot to do it yesterday, but thatâs for defending me against that snitch Tsume. See you at lunch!â You skipped away to your next class happily.
Mountain man, on the other hand, was just completely out of commission.
Kenjiâs eyes were very wide seeing the whole thing happen and he moved to the same side Y/N was just on. Grabbing his friends shoulder he pulled him up because he looked weird still frozen bending over to meet your height when you were gone.
âI guess Y/N likes you for who you are, Aone-san.â
Aone just stared in the direction you disappeared in. Your platonic peck on the cheek made him feel like he was floating.
âLetâs go, we have study hall.â Kenji patted his friendâs shoulder.
Aone called for him to stop, so Futakuchi turned back around.
âWhatâs wrong? What is it?â
âI donât think my legs work anymore, Kenji-san.â
hahahahaha poor baby
Needless to say Kenji san was not impressed to have to wait at his best friendâs locker with him for 5 whole minutes until the shock of you kissing him wore off
You really affected the white-haired bb even when you ignored him so Kenji wasnât that surprised that this would happen
âââââââââââ
Weeks Into The Talking Stage - The Date Tech Boys Attend Katanaâs Big House Party! đ„€đ
âI swear to God if Katana doesnât leave me alone tonight.......... You owe me, Aone-san.â States Futakuchi grumpily as him, Aone, and Kogenagawa shuffled out of their Uber. They stood in front of Katanaâs huge cottage: lit up brightly with glow strobes and pictures of her taped up on the logs like a billboard in downtown Los Angeles.
âI appreciate you two for coming, sincerely. You are good friends.â Aone bowed to them.
Kanji bounced on the balls of his feet, the complete opposite visual of the crabby Justin Bieber look-alike.
âOh no problem!!! I would have never been invited to a cheerleaderâs party if you two werenât my friends! Y/N inviting you to this is MASSIVE, Aone-senpai! Iâm soooo happy I can experience thisâhey! I think I see that hot cop cheerleader from before. Maybe she wants to thank me for my donationsâ!â The big boned setter started walking toward the party but Kenji gripped the back of his shirt, reeling him back in.
Kenji glared at his underclassmen.
âMust I warn you every time?! Play. It. Cool. Donât stare at the birthday girlâs chest and for the love of God please leave the cop girl alone or we will never bring you to another party again.â
Pouting, Kogenagawa agreed, grabbing a red solo cup from a tray that a waiter was walking around with.
Aone grabbed it out of his hand before he downed it, all while scanning the crowd for his beautiful crush.
âNo drinking. Youâre underage.â Aone commanded, pouring it out in front of him.
âRight.â Kenji nodded.
The giant setterâs pout deepened. He crossed his arms at Aone.
âThanks Mom.â
He then stuck his tongue out and Kenji.
âAnd thanks Dad. What would I do without you two? Besides HAVE FUN, of course!?â
âIt scares me to even think about it....â Kenji murmured back, ruffling his setterâs hair who started freaking out because he worked hard on it.
Just then, Takanobu gasped a bit because he finally spotted you in the outdoor crowd on the porch. You were dressed in a long sleeve skin tight bodycon dress that showcased all your curves. And the dress was short. (If you remember correctly from his wet dream This man loooves short skirts on you.):
(You May or May not have chosen something a bit on the sexy side to get the attention of the boy you were starting to enjoy the company of.... and who you invited to be your date tonightâ)
The look of you alone made Aone lick his lips and shuffle because had the air outside gotten 10 degrees hotter, randomly?
âDowwwwn boy.â Kenji murmured when he realized his friend had spotted his crush and was very excited. He had that same look when he saw Y/N in that genie costume, and it was one of unadulterated, innocent, unidentified, lust.
âAone, you canât stare at Y/N like that anymore. She notices you now.â
Aone tried his very best and he was able to peel his eyes away from you and back to his best friend. âI wish it were easy.â He stated with a frown. âEspecially when she looks like that.â
You were over with a group of popular kids, a red solo cup in your hand filled with red bull, chatting and adding to Katanaâs stories when out of the corner of your eye you spot a tall white haired beauty on the outskirts, probably just getting here: Your date. Your heart skipped a beat as you interrupted the boy who was speaking to the group.
âHe came, heâs here!!â You gripped Katana on the arm.
âOw, Y/N!â Katana ripped your hand off her. She fixed the tiara on her head. âOf course heâs here, no man is dumb enough to deny a date with you, Y/N.â She returned to her conversation dismissively.
Kusa walked up the porch steps to give you and Katana hugs. She looked so beautiful!
âLooks like your man Aone brought Kenji-san too.â Kusa said to the two cheerleaders.
Katana almost did a spit take with the contents in her solo cup. Quickly, she scanned the crowd, seeing her ex, she now gripped onto your arm and pulled you through the crowd.
Soon you were faced with your mountain man, who looked amazing dressed in a sexy dark green, might you add. You rubbed the arm that Katana had just been gripping as you stood in front of them.
âAre you alright, Y/N?â Aone asked, looking concerned as his eyes scanned your arm.
He is so flipping sweet!
You nod.
âI know that parties arenât your thing so I wasnât sure when I texted you an invitation. But.....you came,â you breathed a sigh of happy relief.
âYou asked me to.â He responded, unaware of how romantic that sounded to you or anybody with ears.
He is so oblivious to how gorgeous he is, you thought.
Aone turned to look at your best friend briefly.
âHappy Birthday, Katana. This is from the three of us.â Aone handed Katana a card that had a hefty gift card inside of it to her favourite makeup store (Y/Nâs idea after Aone sweetly asked what he should get her).
A/N: AONE IS HUMAN GOALS - DONâT @ ME.
âKenji you got me a gift??? That is SO SWEET!â
Futakuchi rolled his eyes. âItâs from the threeââ
âCome inside with me and Iâll open it!â Katana grabbed the volleyball captainâs hand and pulled him into the swarm of people, towards the house.
Aone almost felt bad bringing his friend to his clingy exâs party because he needed him thereâuntil he looked back down at you smiling up at himâafter which he couldnât feel anything else but happy even if he wanted to. You made him so unbelievably happy.
âOh and Um, Y/N, I know this isnât your birthday, but this is for you.â Aone handed you a card as well.
You hesitated, confused.
Blushing, Aone explained quickly, really hoping that his fight to get you this wasnât going to make you think he was creepy. âI just thought that.... if we gifted Katana a Fenty Beauty gift card, sheâd best enjoy shopping with youâher best friend. So I-I got you a gift card, t-too.â He finished sheepishly.
Bursting inside with butterflies, you gave your date a finger curl again, which he now knew meant to lean down so that you could kiss his cheek. This time you pressed your lips to his cheek a little longer than the last time, and although it was a sweet gesture, Aone felt the blood begin to rush down to his nether region.
You pulled away just in time.
âThank you. Thatâs very kind of you, Aone.â You whispered in his ear.
Aone flushed, standing back up to his height hurriedly.
âMy pleasure.â He replied shakily.
And was it ever. Because of Aoneâs long brewed feelings for you, even your two simple kisses on his cheek kept him awake at night, sometimes recalling the way your soft and perfect lips felt as he showered in the mornings gripping his cock.
He was so happy to be given a chance it was like his increasing hormones and already strong romantic feelings were fighting for dominance now that you were physically interacting with him, albeit minimally.
For the past few weeks you two have been taking your budding friendship/romance incredibly slow, Aone too afraid to push further than you were willing to go, and for you: that just being the speed you take. You two spoke in class, had some lunches together, Aone offered to carry your books and walk you to cheer practice.... things like that. You were just getting to know eachother and youâd even let him take you out on a romantic dinner date last weekend. You always took it really slow with boys until you felt that they were important enough, which is why your ex-baseball player got frustrated with you last year. But that wasnât Aone. He believes that he would gladly accept just this if thatâs what you wanted, though he desperately wanted more. He wanted to call you his.
To you, everything was going extremely well and you were beginning to kind of start looking forward to seeing him in the halls at school as 3rd year rolled around. You may have an itsy bitsy crush on the volleyball player....but you didnât know for sure. The most you two had ever done was kiss him on the cheek twice, which Aone was MORE THAN HAPPY with.
âYou look so handsome, by the way, green is your colour.â
Aone looked away then, snapping out of his day dream about your kisses on his cheek but unable to relax when you complimented him. He couldnât believe you were giving him all this attention. You were so perfect and someone as perfect as you didnât choose guys like him.
Well, you hadnât chosen him yet, Takanobu reminded himself sadly.
âThank you, Y/N. And you look.....um.....w-well.........â His eyes fell to your mouth-watering curves in that dress. You could tell he very much liked your appearance.
You laughed, deciding to tease him.
âI look...âum?â That bad, Aone-san? What? Tell me.â You poked his stomach, not dismissing the fact that his stomach was actually rock hard muscle.
Fuck.
Aone shook his head, trying to clear his thoughts and pretend he hasnât been crushing on you forever so he could speak clearly.
âNo, not bad. Quite the contrary.â His face softened as he looked back at your face. âIâm trying to tell you in the most respectful way that you look......that you look like the most beautiful girl Iâve ever seen.â
On instinct, your face broke out into an ear splitting smile. Aone felt like heâd won the fucking lottery seeing you smile like that at him.
âThank you, Takanobu! Care to enjoy the party with me?â You reached your hand out and the middle blocker just stared at it for a few seconds, still shook from your dazzling smile. Luckily, Kanji was still there so he pushed Aone inconspicuously from behind, allowing him to snap out of it and take your small hand in his large one.
Aone had to take a deep breath when you turned away to lead him into the crowd because the feeling of your hand in his made him feel utterly complete.
He was falling harder n faster than ever before.
And there were no brakes.
He just prayed youâd start falling, too, and soon.

Okay I just saw your post about Freed so can you write something about how he'd have to pick between his s/o (who is also a member of Fairy Tail) or Laxus during the battle of Fairy Tail arc?? Thank youuu~
Wrong- Freed Justine X Reader
I just woke up and my glasses arenât on but Freed đ„șđ„° thank you for the request!đ€
He knew it was wrong, the second he saw the fear on your face as one of your best friends betrayed you, turning your body to stone. Your terrified gaze landed on him and he could tell you immediately understood what was going on.
He watched your arm fly out towards him, distress being written all over your face. âFreed! Hel-!â His rune faltered because he knew it was wrong. But he was in much too deep, there was turning back now. So he kept going.
He tried to justify his actions, you were a strong mage, and youâd definitely run into fights, fights he didnât want you in. He was protecting you, right? Yes, he was, this was for the best. With that thought, he turned his back, leaving the love of his life for Laxus.
As the leader of the infamous Raijinshuu, he was only doing what had to be done. Laxusâ will was his, even if it went against his morals. He could push those aside for now, what he was doing was necessary.
It was harder to say what he was doing was right when the feeling of utter dread was a new constant. As much as Freed reminded himself this was for the best, he couldnât ignore that deep down, he knew all of this was wrong. So, very, very wrong.
He made a stop back at the guild. Everyone was gone by now, giving him ample time to reach you. There wasnât much he could, for now, he wasnât Evergreen. But using what he could do, he surrounded you in runes, protecting you from anyone who wished you harm until you were set free in exactly ten minutes. He planned on being gone by then.
He needed to see Laxus one more time. He had to be sure that this was worth it. The lightning mage could see the hesitation in his eye. He knew it was because of you. Laxus didnât much care.
Freed had known the consequences when they had planned this out and he had agreed. Heâd be damned if he let him go back on his word because of you of all things. You were safe, werenât you?
Freedâs heart was heavier than it shouldâve been when he left. He knew it was wrong.
Fighting Cana and Juvia was harder than heâd imagined it to be. They were no match for him, he knew that, but when they constantly invoked your name like that, he wasnât quite sure anymore. Elfman was worse. His usual man spiel now included you, triggering the use of his most vicious attacks.
You came at the worst possible time. Freed was standing over the fallen bodies of Cana and Juvia while he mercilessly tortured Elfman. You shouted his name, every emotion you were feeling making an appearance in the five-letter word. Desperation, heartbreak, rage, confusion, he heard them all.
âYou need to stop this. This is wrong.â Did you think he didnât know that? He knew it was, his only thought was of how he was hurting you and Kami how it was hurting him too. âItâs too late, Iâm sorry (Y/N).â
He saw the tears brim your eyes as he drew his sword and he felt his heart clench as you readied your magic. He tried to block out your voice as he fought you. You had hardly landed a hit and yet he still hurt all over.
After an endless amount of spars between the two of you, he knew just how powerful you were. Combined with the fact that you knew his weakness, he came to the realization that he was at a disadvantage.
He embraced the fist that landed a crushing blow to his stomach and sent him hurtling to the ground. He couldnât move so he stopped trying. Even as you settled next to him, your tears finally falling he stayed still. The sight triggered his own and he wept as well, letting loose every feeling he had been trying to withhold.
Your hand combed through his now unruly hair as he sobbed. He had been wrong, but with you, he was going to make this right.

Canât Go Back Part 7
A/N:Â I had some issues with inspiration for this chapter, so it is more of a filler chapter. I hope you still like it. The next chapters will be better, I promise. Itâs a shorter one. Like and reblog. As always, much love.Â
I was in the kitchen typing feverously on my laptop when Monty got home from practice. âHey Addy. What are you working on?â
âCollege essay.â I replied, not looking up at him.
âHowâs it going?â
âFine. I have to write like three more though after this one. And my top three schools want creative writing samples.â
Monty whistled. âYou know itâs only the end of October, right?â
âI know but early decisions are due by like the middle of November for Ole Miss and NYU. My safety schools are due by mid-December.â
âYou could also apply for regular admission too. Save yourself the stress rash.â
âSays the boy who has athletic scholarships coming out his ass. You donât need to make a decision until regular admissions open, at the earliest.â
âWith your grades, I see no reason you wouldnât get an academic scholarship babe.â
âYou donât know that.â
âI do though. Have a little hope.â
âIâll try. For now though, Iâm going to spend as much of my free time as I can, writing essays and hounding my teachers for recommendation letters.â
âOkay then. Have you eaten yet?â
âDepends what you consider eating.â
âFood. Not dry cereal, real food.â
âOh, then no.â
âAddison.â
I looked up at him, âMontgomery.â
âItâs almost seven.â
âReally?â I looked at the clock on my laptop and saw the time for the first time since I got home. âOh, look at that.â
âYeah. What do you want to eat?â
âDoesnât matter, what did you want? I stopped at Walplex on the way home for a few things.â
He opened the fridge and examined the contents. âWas the chicken for something specific?â
âThe fresh or roasted?â
âRoasted.â
âNo, it was fresh when I got to the store and it was on sale, so I shredded it when we got home. What did you have in mind?â
âChicken pot pie?â
âEven though it has vegetables?â
âThereâs enough stuff in it to cover up the vegetable taste.â
âSure. Whatever chicken we donât use tonight can go in the freezer. Can you proofread this after dinner?â
âOf course.â He said as he grabbed one of the ziplocs of chicken. I saved my work and got up to help him. Together, we made dinner, with only the occasional snack or errant vegetable being tossed at each other. The puff pastry I had spent the entire weekend making, worked well. That went in the freezer along with the chicken at the end of the night.
The following morning went a little smoother than usual. Monty was a little less of a pain to get out of bed, so I didnât need to call Charlie or make outrageous requests to get him up. I brought my laptop to school so I could work on my applications during my free period. âYou need to give yourself a break Addy.â
âCanât take a break. This determines my future. It determines our future, depending where I get in.â
âI suppose youâre right.â I smiled at him as we left the house, knowing the issue would be at rest for now.
We met Scott and Charlie to grab coffee from Monetâs before school. As we were waiting for our orders, Justin and Clay came in. âOh joy. Here we go again.â Monty muttered to Charlie. They ordered and walked over to us.
âHey Addy.â
âHey Justin. Clay.â
âHey.â Clay replied, awkwardly nodding to Monty and his friends.
âSomething is different about you.â Justin said.
âI think itâs called, âI didnât go to sleep until three thirty in the morning and had an energy drink before breakfast.ââ Monty said.
âEw.â Clay muttered, under his breath. We still heard him though.
âNot that itâs gross, but we werenât up. Iâve been told thatâs not allowed by my surgeon. She was up writing until three thirty, when I rolled over and the light woke me up.â
âOh.â Clay blushed, embarrassed.
âCollege applications.â I explained.
âItâs October Addy.â Clay pointed out.
âThatâs what I told her last night. Would she listen?â
âNo. Of course, she wouldnât.â Clay chuckled. I stood to the side, watching their interaction, my eyes shifting between Scott and Charlie, and Justin. Theyâre seeing this too, right?
âShe brought her laptop with her so she can work on them more.â
âOf course, she did.â
âOkay. I have my coffee we can go now.â
âSure.â
âHey Addison, lunch today?â Clay asked after us.
âOkay. Iâll see you then.â I said Monty put his arm around my shoulder and we left the cafĂ©.
Since we were running early again, I spent the morning with Montyâs friends. âHowâs your knee today?â Mark asked.
âItâs fine. Same as yesterday.â
âHow long did the doctor say you would be on crutches?â
âA few weeks. Then I can start walking and doing physical therapy. The goal is being back to training and sports by sometime between February and April.â
âThat really sucks. Got any more stories for us this morning Addison?â
âHmmm⊠let me think.â I adjusted my bag while I thought. My ring caught the light glimmering brightly and I smiled. I think Iâm going to like this wearing my ring in public thing.
âDoes he actually help you grocery shop or does he just put random stuff in the cart?â Garrison asked.
âHe helps, usually. Sometimes itâs more of a âcan we get thisâ kind of help, but he helps yes. That reminds me, we need to go grocery shopping on Saturday.â
âOkay. Why?â
âMy momâs birthday dinner Sunday night? Itâs on the calendar in the kitchen. Also, do you enjoy having food in the house?â
âRight, right. Do you think she would be mad if I got her another worldâs best professor mug? And yes. Food is nice.â
âMad? No. Annoyed? Probably.â
âWhat do you suggest I get her then?â
âA candle? Women like candles.â Aaron suggested. Monty gave him a jokingly unamused look and then looked at me.
âTrust me, I know. I made the mistake of saying she could use the joint chequing account at Bath and Body Works. The house smelled like watermelon for weeks. And almost fell over when I saw how much it cost.â
âIt was watermelon lemonade or rosewater and ivy. We both agreed that one smelled bad. You left out the part where you smelled like every other candle in the store and didnât like the ones I picked. She likes tea?â
âTo go with her various worldâs best professor mugs. I like the way you think.â
âYou like a lot of things about me.â I rolled my eyes, leaning against his side gently.
âYou guys are cute. Itâs gross.â Bryce commented.
âThanks Bryce.â I smiled brightly, really laying on the cheeriness in my tone. He merely raised his brow. The first bell rang, cutting our story time short. âIâll see you after school babe. I love you.â I stood on my tip toes and kissed Monty, perhaps more deeply than was decent at school or around his friends. His eyes were wide but had a vaguely hungry look to them.
âI love you too.â With that, I scurried off to US government and politics.
At lunch, I walked into the cafeteria and people stared at me, not that I expected anything less. It was still rather off-putting though. Clay and Justin waved me over to their table. Alex scooted over so I could sit next to him. âHow was class?â he asked, unsure of where to start our conversation. Itâs not like Iâm suddenly a different person Alex. Iâm the same as I was before everyone knew about Monty.
âIt was okay. US government was boring, but it usually is. I got a literary review back in English literature. I did better on it than I expected.â
âAddy, you usually do better than you expect.â Justin complained from across the table.
âYes, because if I set my expectations low, then Iâm not crushed when I donât do as well. But how was class for you Alex?â
âBoring. History was boring and Coach Rick hates me so thereâs that. Biology was a nightmare. We were talking about our frog dissection coming up and these two cheerleaders practically screamed when we watched the video on it.â
âWell that sounds entertaining.â
âHow are your applications coming Addy?â Clay asked.
âTheyâre coming. Itâs just kind of annoying. I need creative writing samples to send along with my essays, so I was up late writing. Nothing was flowing the way I wanted it to.â
âI know the feeling.â He muttered. Justin laughed while Alex and I just shared a look. Clearly, we were missing something. Zach came over to our table and sat down.
âHey guys.â He greeted, pulling out his lunch.
âHey.â I replied. I was still slightly ticked off about his comments yesterday.
âNot sitting with Monty today Addy?â
âNope.â
âOkay. Do you want some of my crackers?â
âUh⊠sure?â This is odd. He passed me the container and I took some, placing them on top of my own container. There was an awkward silence, none of us really knowing how to proceed. I braced myself when Zach opened his mouth to speak.
âSo, can you tell us how meeting his parents went?â
âSure?â I asked, confused that that was what he wanted to hear about. âIt was strange. His dad doesnât like anyone really, so it wasnât surprising when he didnât like me, but I wasnât exactly expecting him to immediately not like me. Lucy liked me right away, but Iâm still not sure if itâs because it was so rare for him to bring a girl home, or if she actually liked me.â
âWhat happened?â
âHis dad, ever the charmer and wonderful husband and father, sat on his ass and stared at Monty and I while his mom made dinner. Like, I donât think he stopped looking at us. It was so uncomfortable and definitely didnât help my nerves. At dinner-Lucy insisted, Monty tried to keep it to coffee or something short-they asked me a lot of questions. His dad liked me even less when I said I want to be a writer.â
âThey didnât try to argue with you or anything?â
âNope. Thankfully they didnât. Because I might have cried if they did, I was so nervous.â
âIs his dad really as bad as everyone thinks?â Clay asked.
âHonestly Clay?â
âYeah.â
âI think he might be worse.â My friends sat with that assessment of character for a while before we moved onto lighter topics, average high school stuff. Shortly before lunch ended, Justin suggested an⊠interesting idea.
âWhy donât you invite us over for dinner this weekend? They can get to know Monty better and maybe whatever weird thing happened this morning can be avoided again.â I blinked at him, unsure if he was being serious or not. He nodded at me, encouragingly.
âIt would probably have to be Saturday. Itâs my momâs birthday Sunday and we are having her over for dinner. And I need to discuss it with Monty first.â
âThatâs okay, right guys?â He prompted, looking around the table. My friends nodded, though seemed reluctant.
âIâll talk to him tonight and let you know tomorrow?â
âGreat.â He agreed, as the bell rang.
Oh, what have I gotten myself into now? Hopefully Monty is open to spending an evening with my friends.

What Comes Next
A Spinning Out oneshot
(you can also read it on AO3 here)
"He refuses to propose after they medal at the Olympics."
He refuses to propose after they medal at the Olympics.
Theyâve just won silver in Beijing which, granted, isnât the same as first, but theyâre less than three-tenths of a point away and even landing second place is unexpected and pretty damn impressive.
(And just for the record: no, the loss isnât to Leah and Gabe. They came close, but only just missed their spot on the Olympic team. Instead, the gold goes to a pair from Canada who are being coached by Virtue and Moir, which, really, leaves everyone else little to no shot in frozen hell anyway.)
So yeah, they havenât won gold. Yet. But their spirits are far from crushed. Few thought theyâd make it this far, and landing silver at their first Games is pretty damn impressive.
Plus, 2026 isnât that far away. And Italy has always been on their bucket lists.
Anyway, yes, admittedly itâs kind of the perfect time. Not to mention the fact that by now their relationship is no secret to the public and damn near everyone worldwide thatâs been following their careers and, therefore, also their personal lives for the better part of two years, expects it.
And obviously he has the means to pull it off. He could go as big and extravagant as he wants, maybe even getting down on one knee in the Kiss and Cry after they get their scores for literally all the world to see. Theyâd make international headlines and give feed for a story to be told for the ages.
But theyâre not a typical couple. Kat is far from a typical girl. And Justin, while maybe not the sharpest blade on the ice, is not a complete moron.
(In laymanâs terms: he knows sheâd kill him.)
Plus, thatâs too expected. And while he may not want to blindside her on national television, he does want it to be a surprise.
So instead he waits until three months after the Olympics; after the press has died down and theyâve both turned down offers to be on the Masked Singer and Dancing With the Stars, and decides to go the simple route, busying Kat with a daylong distraction of hanging out with her sister for a rare girlâs day out, and spends the next few hours getting everything ready.
Heâs prepared for this. It isnât just something heâs decided to do over the last few months. Justin had known this girl was special the moment they met, and every day since then has only proved him right, which is why heâs made sure to take every necessary step to nail this.
Katâs father has never really been in the picture, and her relationship with her mother has been a rough one over the years- thatâs no secret to anyone. But the Baker family dynamic changes a lot after Regionals 2020, which is why he asks both Katâs mom and sister for permission nearly a year before the heist goes down, under the guise of asking about a Christmas gift idea for Kat, just to be safe.
(For the record, he gets a resounding yes and far more tears than heâs actually comfortable with.)
Funny enough though, it isnât Carol or Serena he goes to when it comes to finding a ring; nor is it Jenn, whom things have gotten better with over the years with Kat, though nothing has ever returned to how it once was. He even considers asking Mandy for her input because, yâknow, jewelry, until the answer almost literally smacks him in the face.
Which is how he winds up having secret meetings with Dasha and her jeweler for the better part of eight months to custom design the perfect ring. And while yes, itâs stressful and confusing and sometimes downright painful, itâs completely worth it when he finally sees his hard work come to fruition.
Heâs spared no limits on the ring, though he does keep in mind the fact that Kat isnât the type to want million dollars on her hand, and Justin knows heâs nailed it when Dasha immediately tears up at the sight of the vintage pear shaped diamond in white gold.
A part of him thought about doing it in their suite. (After about six months of dating and partnering, theyâd decided to throw caution to the wind and move in together. It made sense, since they spent all their time together anyway. However, despite wanting a real place of their own, the convenience of the hotel was just too beneficial to pass up, so theyâd hauled Katâs crap out of Dashaâs and upgraded to one of the luxury suites. A week later, as they sat on the sofa of their fully decorated suite entirely spearheaded by Mandy, they knew theyâd made the right decision.) But he quickly tossed that idea away as being a little too basic for his liking.
Another thought had been to do it at the rink. It was where theyâd spent countless hours training, both as friends and enemies and more, growing and learning in love and sport and in life. But the rink also held a lot of other memories, with both their families and friends and other partners, and held too many negativities to mix with the positives. He wanted something special, something for just the two of them.
Which is why when she walks onto the ice of his motherâs secret hideaway, Justin knows heâs chosen correctly.
He figures heâs probably bought out enough fairy lights to power a small country, which is saying a lot since the place was damn near covered in them to begin with, as well as lanterns and candles and an array of various flowers, since Kat has never been able to choose just one as her favorite. For a brief moment heâd considered doing a table for two with dinner and dessert and a good bottle of wine, but as they live in a town that truly is fucking freezing 24/7, Justin knows he canât afford to draw this out.
Instead he meets her at the edge of the clearing, her skates already on thanks to a tip from Serena, and guides her to the middle of the ice.
The speech heâs prepared, to be perfectly honest, flies right out of his head. Which is terrifying because it means heâs going to have to go off the cuff and completely from his heart.
Somehow, though, he manages to spill his soul, telling Kat that sheâs changed his life for the better and made him want to be a better person for all the right reasons. He tells her that sheâs special and beautiful and different; that she makes him smile and he loves the way her laugh lights up her entire face and how she still hums their Romeo and Juliet music under her breath when she thinks nobody is listening.
He tells her that he loves her now, he loved her way back then, and he knows heâll love her for eternity, and he wants to spend that eternity with her at his side, not just as partners on the rink, but in life.
It feels like heâs down on his knee for hours, but in reality takes all of two seconds before Kat is screaming a resounding yes and nearly knocking him over (thank god for his good reflexes).
Itâs after the dust has settled, after a kiss that could move Earthâs plates and the ring slides perfectly into place on her hand, that Justin finally locks eyes with his fiancĂ© and grins.
And just like that very first day, after everything else has calmed, when itâs just the two of them, together, and the iceâŠ
They skate.

[so I did this thing last night and wrote a jalex two-shot. My English is a mess but anyways]
â ïžWarning: kind of suicidal thoughts and indirect mention of self harmingâ ïž
He felt like getting haunted, while Alex was walking down the street. No idea where he was going, but everything was fine, as long as he got away from his home. More especially from the person at his home, who was sleeping on his floor for the last two weeks.
That person, better known as Justin Foley, was one of the reasons the bleached blonde-haired boy felt like getting haunted. One reason, but not the only.
There was this feeling of guilt haunting him, ever since the day of Hannah bakersâ suicide. Or did it start before that? Honestly, Alex couldnât really remember, but what he knew was that it got harder and harder to live with it every day.
Maybe I donât need to live with it. Maybe I donât need to live anyways
Quickly he shook his head, to get ride of this thoughts. Just like all these posters said: âsuicide is not an optionâ
Well, it was. It was for Hannah and maybe it could be his option too.Â
Or at least that was what the voices inside his head tried to tell him. Tried to tell him since month.
So why doesnât he just listen to them and make all of that guilt an end? It was not like anyone would miss him. And it would shut these voices up and that was something he really wanted to happen.
Alex was exhausted and these voices were really fucking loud in his head, sometimes they were the only thing he could hear. Nothing around him, no other thoughts. Just these voices, telling him how it was his fault what happened to Hannah. That he doesnât deserve to live, when he practically killed his best friend.
At this moment, he would look himself in his room, screaming in his pillow, crying and hating himself for being so damn weak. He shouldnât cry. It was not up to him to cry, when he was the one hurting people. Hurting Hannah, hurting Jess, hurting himself and anyone else around him.Â
âThis shit is just fucked upâ
This sentence wasnât meant to be said out loud, but he couldnât stop it and before Alex realized it, the words slipped from his lips and he literally screamed them in the night. Down the river he was standing at. And for once, he was louder than the voices.
Finally.
Well, it was probably not for long, but still. For a minute they were quiet, quite like the whole world around him, as Alex began to get lost in his thoughts again.
His thoughts about this feeling of getting haunted.
Then he wasnât only haunted by guilt, because he was an asshole most of the time, to the people who were there for him, no the since yesterday there was something else.
Now he got haunted by feelings and memories. Memories of the last night, which is the reason he tried to avoid Justin since then. Avoiding someone who literally lives in your house, is pretty hard but not impossible.
But avoiding the memories about what happened between them, the last night, wad definitely harder. A lot harder.Â
Living with Justin foley is everything, but definitely not easy.Â
It wasnât even the fact that he drank the last cup of coffee this morning- okay, maybe that was part of the reason- but no. You can make new coffee or buy some at Monetâs, but what you cant do is getting the jock to put on a t-shirt for sleep.Â
Mission impossible.
The first night, it was surprising and Alex would lie if he would say he hadnât stared at least a little bit. But who wouldnât stare, if Justin fucking foley was standing â bare chested- in the middle of your room, looking like a lost puppy. A freaking hot puppy, but never mind.Â
The thing is, this first night was supposed to be one night and not two weeks. Two weeks of having a practically half naked footballer sleeping on your floor, only a few meters apart from your own bed. And no, that is definitely and for a hundred percent nothing Alex could get used to. Not in a million years.
And he tried everything to get Justin, to at least wear a top or something, but that âStupid assholeâ â to quote the Standall boy- stayed with his opinion that it was way too hot in Alex room.
That wasnât true and everyone who ever visited Alex knew that. His room was fucking cold and he was literally freezing every night. But Justin simply didnât cared, about catching a cold, as long as he could sleep like he want.
Stubborn, stupid and unfairly hot idiot.
But to get back to the important situation.Â
The two boys were both laying, like always, when Justin suddenly broke the silence: âWhy do you let me stay here Standall? Â We both know you hate meâ
That was a lie. Maybe Justin thought he hate him- and maybe Alex never did anything against that thought- but the truth was, he kind of really liked the Liberty-High-Star-Footballer. Maybe a little bit too much, not that he would ever mention that.
No, the blue-eyed boy would rather die than ever admit that.
âI donât hate you foleyâ, was his silently response, after quiet a time. He needed to overthink these words. They werenât any big words, but it took Alex some time to figure out what he wanted to say.
âYeah of course not. We all know that you are actually my biggest fan and secretly love meâ
It was a joke and the sarcasm were clearly understandable, but for a short moment Alexâs heart stopped beating, just to continue that three times to fast after that.
He couldnât know right? He wasnât that obvious about his kinda-crush on Justin, or was he?
âStandall? You still awakeâ
Oh yes, Alex was awake, but he was still busy to keep his heartbeat at least a little normal.
Donât act so specious Standall. God damn!
What can you say? To stop talking to Justin, was his first fault this night, then only seconds later, he felt the weight of someone sitting only a few inches apart from him, on the edge of his bed.
âWhat the fuck, Foley. What are you doing? Go back to sleepâ
That was definitely not Justinâs plan, then the jock didnât even think about moving from where he was sitting. He was awake and he felt the bad urge to kiss Alex right here and now.
To be honest, he felt like that since weeks, but hearing the other boy saying that he didnât hate him, made Justin happier than he would ever admit.
Of course, a âI donât hate youâ was far away from a âits okay if you kiss me, because I like you tooâ but it was better than nothing.
âI am not going back to sleep; I am way too awake for thatâ
The only respond from Alex was a loud sight, before he finally turned himself around, to at least face Justin- as good as possible in the darkness the room was filled with.
âMaybe you are, but other people need sleep, so please let me sleepâ
He didnât mention the fact that that would be the first night since days- okay who was he lying to? Since months, since Hannahâs death- that he would maybe get a few hours of sleep. Maybe if he did, Justin would have gone back to the floor and what happened only a few minutes later, would never have happened.
âYou are really cute when you seem so tired, Lex, you knowâ
âDid you..wait, Lex?â
From one second to another, Alex was suddenly wide awake, sitting up, looking a little confused at Justin. No one, not even his mom, has ever called him Lex, but from Justin it sounded like the most normal thing on earth.
Which is was definitely not.
âWell, it fitsâ
And while saying that, Justin sounded so confident about whatever he was telling, Alex just needed to believe him and then, the next thing he knows were the feeling of Justinâs Lips on his own.
So now, here he was. Trying to forget about the fact that his crushed kissed him the last night, which was stupid.
Well, trying to forget it was not. But that Justin kissed him, was.
So long had he dreamed about that and now that it had happened, all he could think was, that it was probably a bet or something. There was no way Justin Foley, liked him, Alex Standall.Â
Not. In.a.million.years
But as we all know, running away from your problems, or your feelings- or both at the same time- wont work in 99% of all cases and Alex definitely wasnât part of that lucky 1%.
âYou were avoiding me all day, why?â the last voice he wanted to hear today asked, from behind.
Alex didnât look up, his focus still on the river. Would jumping down there be enough to die? If he would hit a rock with his head-definitely?
Maybe he should give it a try? Ignoring Justin and just doing the right thing for once in his life?
âLex? I know you can hear meâ
Of course, he could. The voices inside his head were back, but he could still hear him, he just didnât want to.
He wanted to end it.
Sounds simple right? But could he do it?
The answer to that was a clear yes. He could. It could become his option than.
But was he able to do it, while Justin was still standing there?Â
Probably not.
âLex?â
And again.
He wants to tell him to be quiet. Wants to tell him, to leave him alone.
Alone with his dumb feelings, his guilt. Alone with the pain, alone with his thoughts and alone with the tears, which were slowly falling down on the ground under him.
âCould you please tell me what you are doing here, Standall?â
I am going to kill myself, so please go. I donât want you to see that. Itâs not your fault.
But that wasnât what he said. He wanted to, but instead he said what he was thinking since the kiss last night.
âGo on, tell me. Tell me you donât love me and how funny that bet was. How funny it was to play with my feelings, when you kissed me. Just fucking tell meâ

13 Reasons Why SPOILERS
Okay so I have feelings and I need to express them so here goes
Season 3 had me angry the whole time but I needed to watch s4 just to know what happened to the characters. But I finished the series feeling like nothing had actually happened? Like yes, we saw some of the aftermath of all of the events, especially in Clay, but what was the BIG storyline? S1 was Hannahâs story, s2 was the trial, s4 was Bryceâs murder. S4? Trailers made it seem like it was that someone was going to reveal what happened to Monty and who murdered Bryce but was there wasnât enough tension to keep the stakes up. Like we found out that a lot of it was Clay way too soon. Diego and Winston never really posed that big of a threat to carry the story either. So it ended up feeling like a weird mix of events that didnât feel very cohesive to me. Maybe Iâm just a bitter TV production major but the story just doesnât hold up for me.
With that out of the way, thereâs still so much I want to talk about. To make it easier, I will break it down into character starting with Clay.
Clay: First off, Dylan is an amazing actor and really sold his scenes. But Clayâs story this season just annoyed me. He was the king of bad decisions to the point where it was just hard to watch--and especially hard to follow. I think showing his metal health spiral is important but they did it in such an unrealistic way. There were way too many Monty and Bryce hallucinations. I think if he saw flickers of them, like if he a jock in the letterman jacket and he thinks its Monty for a split second and freaks out a bit before realizing itâs not him, that would make sense. Seeing them and talking to them all the time just felt a bit cheap. As for the disassociation and the other scenes like the car crash or the school shooter, I found them so confusing. Thereâs a way to fake people out like that, but they didnât execute it well and I just found it kind of annoying. i think Clay is a good character but they could have done the metal health storyline much better.
Ani: In terms of writing, she wasnât done well in S3 but I didnât hate her as a person. I think she was better this season and I did actually like her. It seems like the backlash from s3 caused her to have very little screentime and it felt a bit weird for her to disappear or be left out. She didnât have much to do this season overall.
Jessica: Love her. I just wish all her storylines werenât boy-centric. Everything with HO and her being president should have had more importance. I like her with both Diego and Justin honestly but Justin would have been end game.
Justin: Deserved better. Wayyy better. His whole character arc and recovery was wonderful. Killing him off felt so wrong. So wrong. It would have been so much better if he found out he had HIV in the beginning of the season and showed him dealing with that, as well as recovery, and he overcame it. Because the message that his story ends with is that if you fuck up, your life is ruined forever, because he ended up dying young anyways. Not fair and felt so unnecessary, put in just for shock value. This death stuck with me because it was the least deserved and hurt the most. I could go on.
Tony: I wish his familyâs deportation was talked about more but Iâm glad he had the ending he deserved. Wasnât really interested in the boxing storyline because I didnât understand the point all that well. It felt like it was just a means to an end for the writers.Â
Zach: Okay, they canât show him struggling with a whole alcohol addiction and not even address it. He was always one of my favorite characters and I think it makes sense that he would spiral out of control, but he also deserved a recovery. There should have been more development to his story.
Alex: I liked Alex a lot this season. Iâm glad they made him interested in guys, because I thought theyâd never touch on it again after he got a boner with Zach that one time and they had me wondering. Since most of this season was about his relationships, I need to address them each. I wasnât a Zalex shipper but I would have liked to see them together if they went down that road. Even though they didnât get together, the way Zach treated the kiss was perfect and, even though they would have worked together well, I love their friendship--and that will last longer than a high school relationship. Now, I will get to my feelings on Winston as a character, but that aside, I got the most chemistry from this pairing. They had the best moments together where they both seemed very interested in each other and Alex seemed happy. It was a great chance for him to explore his sexuality. I wouldnât say I ship it but I liked them together the best off of what we saw. Finally, Charlie. As much as I would like this to work, I did not get the same chemistry for them. The lockdown scenes were great but other than that, Alex didnât show the same interest for Charlie as he did with Zach and Winston. He kept rejecting him, both before they started dating and for the prom, and was kind of mean to him when Charle was only ever nice. But then suddenly Alex says he loves him at the prom? They had so few positive scenes together before that. It was too rushed and I canât see it lasting long at all. But the family dinner scene was really nice and it was sweet to see them as prom kings.
Charlie: I adore this man. Everything he said was so sweet and innocent. He was the only character I never got mad at. I wish Alex seemed to reciprocate his feelings more but I just donât see them working out. Their personalities clashed too much and Charlie put in so much effort for Alex to give so little back. It just doesnât work for me. But Iâm so glad he was here to bring some postivity to this season. Heâs a great character and they needed his voice of reason.
Winston: I had a fat crush on this man in s3 but that was gone by s4 when he turned out to be pretty weird. I think there was so much more that could have been done with this character. I think its due partly to the confused storyline that I talked about at the start but I think he should have been on one side or the other: either a real antagonist or someone who changes to be one the protagonists side. I though dating Alex would have done that latter but it ended so abruptly that it left Winston at their weird in between point where his dedication to the Monty and Bryce case just felt weird. Not to mention his obsessiveness. Like falling in love with Monty and Alex so quickly and being so hung up on Monty after they hooked up like twice and Monty beat him up. Maybe this could have worked if they explored his character more but he felt very undeveloped which didnât work well for someone who could have been a great antagonist. I think this season could have been improved a lot with a strong antagonist.Â
Thereâs more I could say and characters I missed but Iâm going to leave it there because those are my biggest opinions. Feel free to disagree of course! I just think this season could have been a lot better if they went in a different direction and I will never be able to forgive what they did to Justin.Â
Thatâs all from me. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk
