WORK WIFE — KUROO TETSUROU
Tumblr media Tumblr media
pairing: kuroo tetsurou x fem! reader content: fluff, timeskip! kuroo (he’s so sexy)
Tumblr media
you’re not really sure when kuroo started calling you his ‘work wife,’ but you honestly wouldn’t have it any other way. like many of your colleagues, you’ve been taken in by his teasing smile and charm and the way he brings you your coffee and bagel in the morning, just the way you like it. “good morning, wifey,” he says as he hands you your breakfast with a flourish. “vanilla latte with oat milk and an extra shot of espresso and a toasted everything bagel with cream cheese.” 
you smile and thank him, sliding the bagel out from the waxy paper bag. you glance back inside and sheepishly open your mouth but kuroo beats you to the punch. “and, of course, your stirrer.” he sticks his hand in the pocket of his slate gray slacks and produces a wooden stirrer. 
you chuckle, “you keep those in your pants just for me?”
“a gentleman always is prepared for a lady!”
“‘gentleman,’” you snort. 
kuroo presses a hand over his heart. “i am a gentleman through and through!”
“uh-huh, keep telling yourself that.” you take a sip of your drink. “but thanks again for breakfast.”
he pats your head and sings out, “anything for my favorite work wife!”
“i better be your only one!” he laughs loudly at your reply, the sound bouncing off the walls as he heads down the hall to his office. 
Tumblr media
when lunchtime rolls around, kuroo, as usual, appears in your doorway with his lunch in hand. he never has the same thing, you’ve come to learn; today’s meal is grilled fish over rice, and kuroo asks, “up for a lunch date?”
you try to fight the warmth rising to your cheeks, still not used to his wording despite the many times he’s asked the exact same thing. you shake your head and sigh, “unfortunately, i’m behind on inputting the quarter two estimations so i think i’ll be working through lunchtime.”
kuroo still walks into your office and comes around to look at your computer screen. “have you been doing these all by hand?”
“yeah?”
“here, there’s an easier way to generate these estimates.” with a few clicks and keystrokes, you watch as numbers and figures fill the spreadsheet cells before your very eyes. you slump back in your chair, relieved. you glance up at kuroo. he’s so close that you can very clearly smell the way his cologne mingles with his minty toothpaste. your breath hitches as he stares down at you with pride. “you’re a lifesaver.”
“had to save my lunch time with my work wife.”
Tumblr media
you stifle a yawn as you save your last pitch for the budget board and power off your computer. you looked out the window, the sun beginning to set on the horizon. you roll your chair away and stretch your hold body out, humming in relief as someone knocks on your door. it’s not hard to guess who it is. “come in.”
“hey,” kuroo pokes his head inside, blazer folded across his arm and his lanyard in hand. “ready to go?”
“yep, let me just get my stuff.” you gather your things and sling your bag over your shoulder, locking up your office and following kuroo out. you walk side-by-side in comfortable, tired silence until you get out of the building. “how was the merch presentation?”
“oh, it went really well,” he says. “thanks for letting me co-opt your time for rehearsal.”
“you know i always have time for you.”
kuroo gives you a smile that’s almost way too soft and sweet for you to handle, and you quickly avert your eyes to the street in front of you as you two come to the metro stop. he asks about how your younger brother is settling into college and you inquire about his grandparents, and it’s an endless stream of conversation as you two board the metro together. 
“oh,” kuroo says suddenly, voice shifting to a quieter tone. “i’ve been meaning to ask, do you want to—?”
you desperately want to hear the end of his question but you’re coming up to your stop and you have to hurry home to walk your dog. “sorry! text me the question?”
he shakes his head. “i’ll tell you later. see you tomorrow, wifey.”
you wave to him over the shoulder as the doors close behind you, and you’re left with a warm feeling in your chest and burning curiosity about what he’ll ask you. 
Tumblr media
it’s the next day when your boss calls you into her office, asking you to let the newest employee to the sports promotion division shadow you for a little while until he gets the hang of what you guys do. his name’s nakamura eijun and he seems nice enough so you agree.
nakamura’s in your office as you go over how the jva’s filing and record-keeping online works when kuroo comes in with your daily breakfast. you sit up straighter, ready for him to finish whatever question he was about to ask. 
he stops short when he sees nakamura and asks, “new guy?” nakamura nods and introduces himself, to which kuroo responds with an enthusiastic “i’m kuroo tetsurou. welcome to the team!” and without your usual banter, kuroo drops off your bagel and coffee and leaves without another word. 
he peeks into your office again at lunch and you’re about to wave him inside, but he shakes his head and says, “i’ll come back later!”
he doesn’t. you don’t see kuroo for the rest of the day, which makes your heart sink. it’s the first time in months that he hasn’t followed the unconscious routine the two of your started. you try to look at the silver-lining. kuroo (and thinking about kuroo) is your main distraction of the day, so maybe it was a good thing he didn’t show up so you couldn’t make a fool of yourself. 
what unnerves you, though, is that the following days are much the same. kuroo silently brings you your breakfast and peeks in every now and then, smile never quite meeting his eyes as he sees you eating with nakamura in your office. the days stretch to weeks and you realize two things: one — that kuroo’s avoiding you, and two — nakamura’s a lot less capable than you thought he would be, given that he’s still shadowing you after about two and a half weeks. 
thankfully, you get a little reprieve when nakamura informs you that he’s out sick for the day. you perk up when kuroo comes in with your breakfast and give him your chirpiest “good morning.”
he leans up against your doorframe, glancing around. “your new work husband’s not here today?”
“what are you talking about?”
he says, “your new work husband. he have some emergency or something?”
you frown at his tone. “sorry, let me be more specific. who are you talking about?”
“nakamura,” he responds. finally, he crosses the threshold and hands you your bagel and coffee, the stirrer already inside the bagel bag. he plops down heavily in his chair, arms folded across his chest. 
“you know you���re my one and only,” you say, offering a smile. when he doesn’t reply, your smile fades and you ask, “why do you think he’s my new work husband?”
“he’s been telling everyone that you two spend so much time together that he might as well be.”
you can’t help but roll your eyes and you reach across the desk, tapping your hand on the surface to get kuroo’s attention. he finally meets your gaze and you say, “we’ve been spending a lot of time together because sakura asked me to let him shadow and he’s—” you lower your voice to a conspiratorial whisper, prompting kuroo to lean in closer, “—not very smart.”
“really?” 
you watch as the tension kuroo held in his shoulders disappeared and something like relief washed across his features. you can’t help but laugh a little, “really. is that what got you so grumpy these past few days?”
“hey!” he protests, “i wasn’t grumpy. pouty, maybe, but definitely never grumpy.”
“sure, sure.” you pause and then ask, “why were you so bothered by nakamura saying he’s like my work husband?”
kuroo’s face flushes and with an uncharacteristic shyness, he says, “because, y’know, that’s— that’s our thing. and i’m not too keen on letting someone steal my wife away.”
“good to know you’re a protective husband.”
he chuckles and says, “well, gotta get back to the trenches. those advertisement pitches aren’t going to pitch themselves.”
“don’t i know it.”
as he goes to leave, he hesitates in the doorway. then, he turns back to you and asks, “would you like to have dinner with me tonight? if you’re not doing anything, of course.”
your eyebrows raise but you can’t help the bright smile from breaking across your face. “yeah, that sounds great.”
Tumblr media
a year and a half later.
nakamura and you are sitting in the conference room, brainstorming ways to help boost the sendai frogs’s popularity. nakamura taps his pen against his chin and suggests, “maybe we should tell koganegawa to stop yelling so much?”
“no, their fans like his enthusiasm,” you say. 
“well, tsukishima’s their most popular player… maybe we can ask him to ramp up the fanservice. as in, do any.”
you snort but before you can make some snarky comment about how that absolutely will not happen, a voice comes from behind you. “you’re signing a death wish with that. no way tsukki’ll bite.”
nakamura’s face sours and he mumbles something as kuroo towers over both of you. you grin at him in greeting and give him a playfully chastising look, adding, “you’re right but you know it’s rude to interrupt a conversation.”
“just making sure my wife—” he gives nakamura a very pointed look, “—knows who she’s dealing with.”
you quirk an eyebrow. “your wife is a very capable woman, thank you very much.”
he smirks and bends down closer, deepening his tone. “oh, i know.”
nakamura scowls. “we get it, she’s your work wife.”
“actually…” kuroo’s shit-eating grin grows wide like a cat who got the cream and simultaneously, both of you hold up your left hands, matching silver bands glinting under the fluorescent lights. “she’s my wife-wife now.”

✰ 𝐀𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐳 : 𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐛𝐞𝐝 ✰
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
✰ W/T: smut
✰ short description for each member: habits/kinks, what they like, fav position
✰ i dont know if what i wrote is quite banal, anyways i wanted to make a list of my feral thoughts yep-
✰ Hongjoong
he loves to be a rough sub, lets you ride him tho he enjoys a lot to take the lead beneath you because he knows it would get you extremely quick to your orgasm, smirking and chuckling at the sight of your desperate reaction
very loud when he feels to, better be alone while you have sex cuz the room would be filled with his grunts and groans
follows your thighs up and down gripping them, his favorite way to mark you are scratches (he caresses and kisses them once you finish cuz he’s kinda worried it might hurt you)
✰ Seonghwa
most of times it all starts with cuddles sessions, you’re stuck in a deep kiss while he drags his hands over your body, once he has the chance to massage your breast he can’t contain himself anymore
i feel like he’s more into missionary, so he can lay on your body, feel your warm skin, kiss you to cut your moans, whisper dirty things into your ears with his low voice
i think he’s the type who can’t last long on a single orgasm but surely can have multiples, leading you to your owns till you can’t take anymore
✰ Yunho
he’s surely the type to fingerfuck you with his long, slender fingers (which doesn’t take long for you to cum around them) to prepare your tight walls before taking his big friend
loves to praise you, despite sometimes his sentences are cut by his own groans (a mist of high and low pitched)
feels like he’s into both sub and dom, being an ass man he surely likes reverse cowgirl and doggy
✰ Yeosang
yeah most of y’all gonna argue if he’s into vanilla or rough fuck… imma say that he bases simply on your mood: whether you’re horny and crave for nothing but his dick or have a chill night because he just needs to release his load inside you while you’re almost falling asleep
he likes to have your legs wrapped around his waist while he leans down to take fully your tits in his hands, he barely knows where his eyes want to land because, oh fuck he wants to see every fucking detail
loves when you’re the needy one but he can’t also contain himself for long
✰ San
he makes you know that it’ll be a long night by teasing you all day long, sometimes you’re even the one who just begs him at some point because you can’t mentally stand teasing anymore
he’s into rough fuck, tho he likes passionate too, he just loves the arousal that gets him when he fucks your brains out. Your loud moans are just pure music to his ears so he simply goes with raw and hard
definitely the dom type (uhum any position that involves the sight of your ass), but this man also likes to be your personal fucktoy because he finds you extremely hot as a horny woman that wants only to use his sex
✰ Mingi
we all know he’s the type to love every single part of your body and every kind of stimulation you enjoy he would do it without even think of complaining or judging: what his woman craves is what his woman gets
tho he’s the type to eat you out, play with your breast, and all the shit you’d like to do, i bet his favorite way to fuck is randomly bending you over the first table he finds, no minding if there’s the chance you’d get caught, he doesn’t cares, he just wants you right there and now
of course he likes to show you his big and confident side but sometimes when he’s tired all he really wants is to become a whiny baby under your touch
✰ Wooyoung
he’d always be a whines and moans mess, it wouldn’t surprise anyone if he’s the type to cry from pleasure when you take good care of him
he likes to be both dom and sub, if you’re in for multiple rounds you’re probably gonna switch roles every orgasm
something tells me he loves thighs, every time you’d wear short dresses or outfits that expose your legs he’d go easily crazy over you, and he would never stop teasing you until he gets the chance to rip those clothes off of your body
✰ Jongho
he fucking loves when you grip at his toned biceps while you grind over his lap, he would be more than pleased by having you on top of him so you could feel just how strong his body feels beneath you
let’s be honest he’s probably the one with the highest stamina, if he’s gonna take the lead don’t even think he’d get enough with a couple orgasms
tho his moans would be so damn pretty i think he wouldn’t be louder than some needy sighs and whines, apart from when he reaches his climax he would let out the most delicious sound you’d ever hear

3:00 am.
It was late very late and another sleepless night for you. You tossed and turned for hours trying to find the right position to rest, but it was no use. You just couldn't sleep. There really isn't even a reason behind it.
You weren't stressed at the moment. You and Eddie are both in a good place. You wish you could put a reason as to why this happens, but there is none. Not one thing. This isn't something new for you, though. You just wanted some type of excuse this time.
You carefully got out of bed trying not to disturb your sleeping boyfriend next to you. You make your way to the living to watch some TV. Perhaps you'll fall asleep out here, but you know that's highly unlikely. You tip toe into the kitchen, slowly opening up the cabinet above the stove to make some tea.
Wrapping yourself up in a warm blanket with Eddie's Garfield mug in both hands, you flick through the channels until you land on your favorite show. You kept the lights off, not wanting to disturb him in any kind of way since he has to be up in soon for work. Believe it or not, Eddie was a light sleeper, and the slightest noise or light could wake him.
"Why'd ya leave me?" His rasped with a pout on his face.
Foot steps trudging down the hall tell you that you were not as quiet as you thought. You turn to look over blanket draped over your head. There, he was standing in the hallway rubbing his tired eyes. His hair sticking up every which way. The white boxers with red lips, you got him for Valentines Day as a joke, hang low on his waist. He's missing one sock on his foot. You snort when you see him. He looks lost like he doesn't know how he got there.
You always thought his sleepy voice was so cute. He hated it.
"Couldn't sleep again." You sheepishly told him, taking another sip of tea.
He moves to plop down beside you, kicking his feet up on the coffee table folding his arms over his chest. His eyes bloodshot from just waking up. The brightness from the TV screen making his eyes water.
"Whatcha watching?" He yawned.
You snuggle up close beside him, resting your head on his shoulder. "Grey's Anatomy."
Nodding his head, looking semi interested. He wraps his arm around your shoulder, bringing you closer to him.
"Eddie, you have to work in the morning." You whispered, looking up at him.
"It's okay if you can't sleep. I can't sleep." He squeezed you tight, kissing your forehead.
About an hour has passed since you and Eddie have been awake.
"What do you mean they found her lingerie pictures and showed them to everyone?" He argued, getting frustrated at the show.
"Dr. Model wow!, what a great insult...prick." He murmured, shaking his head.
"Yeah, she only did that to pay for school." You informed him getting a kick out of how upset he seems to be for lzzie.
Whatever sleep filled mind he had was gone now. He's wide awake, staring at the bright TV screen. His eyes are still bloodshot and puffy, but he's not tired. Not anymore. Too worked up and annoyed at what he's witnessing
His mouth drops in shock. "And this dickhead just walks around showing them to everyone?"
"Yep, pretty much." You take another sip of your tea, which is now too cold.
"Lemme get a taste." He motioned at the Garfield mug, eyes glued to the screen. He takes a big gulp, making a disgusted face at the now ice-cold chamomile tea.
He bought that tea specifically for you when he heard it helps with sleep. He always did little things like that for you. He'd buy you an entire life supply of chamomile tea if it meant you could finally rest.
He leaned forward elbows resting on his knees. He was still getting riled up at the plot that he didn't notice the alarm clock going off.
"It's time for work." You mentioned sadly.
"Oh, I'm calling out. I can't leave until I know what happens next." He says matter factly. He's too engrossed in the show now to stop watching. "And I can't leave you either."
The sunrise peaking in through your blinds, giving your living room a warm glow. "Wanna get breakfast?"
"Sure." You smiled sweetly at him.
"Then we can finish up this season and try to get some sleep, yeah?" He goes to stand, stretching his long limbs out.
"I hope so, but if I can't sleep, that doesn't mean you have to stay up too." You really don't want him to think just because you struggled with this that he has to as well. You've dealt with insomnia almost your whole life. You can handle losing just a day's worth of sleep. You hope it's just a day's worth.
"I don't think so. If my baby can't sleep, then I'm not sleeping."
"But." You tried arguing.
"No buts." He argued back, bending down to give you a quick kiss on the lips.
You shyly smile at him, wondering how you even found someone so caring. Sometimes, you truly believe you don't deserve him. You know that's not true, and he definitely knows that's not true. He's just so kind and thoughtful. You really didn't think there were people out there in the world like him. Eddie would constantly do things for you without even considering something in return. You're still not used to that but you're trying.
"Well, then we better get moving. We don't wanna miss anything." You go to stand next to him, stretching out your arms as well.
"I'm not putting clothes on. We can just go through the driver thru." He said, grabbing his keys. No shoes or anything. Just one bare foot padding along the carpet.
"Well, at least wrap yourself in this blanket, jeez." You roll your eyes playfully as you both head for the front door. You tossed him the blanket that was used as your own personal, safe haven. "You trying to get arrested?"
"Wouldn't be my first time." He joked, throwing the blanket around himself and heading out the door.
Eddie kept his promise to you that day. He did eventually doze off on the couch with you. It's not entirely his fault, though he made the mistake of laying his head in your lap after breakfast. Your hands scratch his back, and playing with his hair always made him relax. If there was ever a moment you wanted him to sleep, that was all you had to do, really. He'd instantly melt in your hands.
You stayed up, finishing off the rest of Greys Anatomy with Eddie softly snoring. You didn't sleep, and you weren't counting on it. Maybe you will tonight? Doesn't matter it comes in patterns for you. You know what to expect when this happens.
You're just happy you won't have to deal with it alone anymore. Whether you liked it or not. Eddie was going to be by your side helping you through it. No matter how much you argued that he shouldn't. He was stubborn, and once his mind was made up, that was it.

Do you take platonic requests?
If so, could I request head-cannons, or anything you like really, of Splinter (can be 2012 or rottmnt) becoming a father figure for a reader who doesn’t have one? The reader becomes friends with the turtles and spends a lot of time at the lair, obviously because they want to spend time with their turtle buds, but also because they really like talking to Splinter and he kinda picks up on it after a while and decides “yep, I have a 5th kid now”.
Sorry if this is a bit of a strange request.
Father Figure ⭐️ Splinter (Platonic)
Tumblr media
A/N: This wasn’t a strange request at all, I love requests like this because they really pull at my heartstrings. Was super fun to write, and I tried my best not to tear up as Father/Child scenes make me emotional lmao
Pairing(s): Platonic!Splinter x GN!Reader
Warning(s): Like, two swear words, teeny tiny bit of angst? Overall very soft <3
Proof read :)
——————————
Spending so much of your free time down in the lair meant not only hanging out with the turtles, but also becoming close to their dad, Splinter.
So much time in fact that it started to feel like he was becoming your own dad.
The first time you had a proper conversation with him was when you were having a sleepover at the lair. While everyone else was knocked out cold in their own rooms, you couldn’t catch a wink of sleep, so you decided to check out the one place the guys spend most of their time; the Dojo.
You first thought was to just marvel at the range of weapons they had, but you weren’t even close to doing that when you spotted a meditating Splinter sitting silently in the middle of the room.
Breathing a sigh of relief that the sound of you entering the room didn’t disturb him, you went to back out when his voice startled you. “Cannot sleep?”
Ah, shit. You fucked up.
Not wanting to be rude, you sheepishly nod, “Yeah, I’m really sorry for disturbing you. I just wanted to try and tire myself out by walking around.”
It was then that he gently patted the space in front of him, inviting you over. With nothing else to do and honestly, why would you even decline, you complied and sat in front of him.
That night the two of you talked for a few hours. It started off a little bit awkward on your part, not knowing exactly what to say to him, but he was kind enough to lead the conversation.
You talked about the turtles, when they were younger and just learning how to defend themselves, about some of your future plans, if you had any that is, and if not, he would try and give you a push in the right direction with small ideas he thought would suit you.
At some point, your home life was brought up. You explained to him that it was just you and your mother when you were growing up. You never had a proper father figure, but you would never trade your mother in for the world.
He tells you that your mother did a wonderful job of bringing you up :’)
As time went by, you spent more and more time with Splinter. He’s shown you a few defensive moves in case anything were to happen when the boys weren’t around to help you, to which you profusely thanked him for. He was so proud when you managed to pin him down once (though he wouldn’t tell you that he was obviously going easy)
You two drink tea together a lot, and if you didn’t like tea, he would manage to find you something you would prefer.
At some point he begins to call you his child, it started off as ‘Okay, it’s because I’m a teenager, I understand’, but at some point to both you and him it starts sounding more like he’s definitely adopted you. And he has.
He tells you about Miwa and his past family, which you take in with watery eyes and a soft smile. At that point, you knew you were apart of the family.
Sometimes the guys like to tease you and Splinter, Raph often stating that “Well since you’re his favourite child-“
You would just grin with your hands on your hips, “I am the favourite child, thank you very much. Now if you excuse me, I’m telling dad that you ate my slice of pizza.” Just to be petty lmao
If you’re ever upset, your go to person would be Splinter. Something about the way he hugs you so tightly, with so much care in his embrace just makes you sob it all out until you felt better, his calming words making everything seem so little.
When Father’s Day arrives, you might or might not have actually celebrated it with him and the turtles. You bought him an actual cake that you all shared, and took plenty of photos to hang around the lair and in his room. It was a day to remember, especially when you could spot the little tears in his eyes.
Overall, Splinter is the best dad you could ever want, and you make sure he knows that.

Sick Days- Geralt
Pairing: Geralt x Reader
Words: ~1.1k
Summary: You refuse to tell Geralt that you're sick and so he has to find out the hard way
__________________________________
“How are you doing back there, Y/n?” Geralt called back to you, he and Roach taking the lead on this narrow path.
The partly cloudy afternoon was more than welcome to you compared to the rain you had pushed through all day yesterday. And the day before. Ugh. 
Honestly, you liked rain as a whole, but the added chill in the air and the absolute soaking of your jacket left you feeling tired, feverish, and sniffly. You dared not let Geralt know that you were growing sick, the deadline to get to Novigrad was drawing closer and you refused to be the cause for missing it.
“Yep, yeah, I’m okay back here…” you lied. Your vision had begun spinning and your vision started lagging behind your eyes about 10 minutes ago. Your light tunic clung to your skin as your fever made you sweat relentlessly. Your various layers were laying across your horse in an unceremonious heap where you had left them and- wait, did you lose a jacket along the way? Hmm, you couldn't remember.
You let out a soft hum as a faint breeze cooled your skin and gave you a moment of relief from the sweltering heat.
 “Y/n?” Geralt called out to you, “did you hear what I said?”
“Hm? Oh, no… what were you saying?” Your eyes closed as you tried to listen, your ears only picking up garbled noises. You could feel your body begin to get to tired to hold itself together, but you had to fight through it. 
“Hmm, That’s interesting… “ you replied- well you're pretty sure that’s what you said. You… couldn’t be sure right now. Your consciousness filled with nothing more than a dense fog you couldn't seem to fan away. 
“Yes very interesting…” you slurred out as your mind finally forced your body to shut down and everything went dark.
“Y/n, you’re not making any sense- shit..!” Geralt turned just in time to see you fall off your horse with a great big THUD. A pathetic groan was the last sound your barely conscious body sent out as Geralt yelled again and ran to your limp body. 
“Y/n?” he shook you, “Fuck… and you’re burning up,” he commented and swiftly picked you up, your skin blazing and burning against his. “Let’s get you to an Inn, we’re done traveling for today…”
You woke up on clean linens, your body stripped down to its underclothes and covered in damp washcloths to keep you cool. “Hmm, Geralt...?” you grunted out as you sat up, rolled up cloth falling from your forehead, “Oh- nope, no, no, no... too dizzy…” you sighed and promptly laid down again. 
“Welcome back, sleeping beauty…” Geralt jested and sat on the edge of the bed- his expression slowly changing to something more sincere, his voice quieting as he urged you to take in the seriousness of his words. “You scared me back there… why didn’t you tell me that you were sick..? That you had a fever..?”
Your mouth opened and closed as you tried to find an adequate explanation, but it never came.
“You could have died if you’d fallen over a cliff's edge…if your head had hit rocks…” Geralt couldn’t even meet your eyes as he talked- instead opting to replace the damp cloths on your forehead. “You’re not as hearty as a Witcher is- you know that.” 
You frowned, feeling more and more like a scolded child as he spoke to you. You shook your head and glanced outside instead of anywhere near this conversation. 
“Y/n...” Geralt sighed, knowing exactly what you were doing, “Dear heart..?” he tried once more, finally catching your gaze. 
“I don’t mean to make your softness such a flaw- you know it's exactly what pulled me into you in the first place..” A small smile crept over his features as he briefly remembered your first meeting. “But you need to let me know when to slow down, okay? Remind me now and then to be a little softer too,” he spoke so quietly that you were sure nothing else in the world could have heard him but you. 
Your own expression reflected his smile and his whispered words fluttered around your heart “I will… I promise.” your fingers reached out for his, searching around until they captured his touch. “Oh, how long have I been out? We need to keep going” you urged, using your aching arm to bring his hand up to your lips in a soft kiss before you struggled to pull yourself upright.
But Geralt only laughed and shook his head as he helped you sit up, “now I see where Ciri gets her endless determination from- neither of you wants to stop for a minute to take care of yourselves.”
“We learned it from YOU, Geralt…” you grinned, sniffling as your nose threatened to run. 
Eyes rolling, his smile became even wider. “Anyways… I mean to say that you shouldn’t worry about it… we’ve been making good time, we can spare a day to let you rest and recover.” 
You nodded and relaxed a bit more, rolling your shoulder and cracking your back as you tried to get comfortable. “Good… Good, I really can’t fall off like that again. I feel like I just slammed shoulder-first into a shaelmaar…”
“I bet,” Your witcher snorted, a knowing smile hiding behind your hand as he brought it up to kiss in return. “Do you think some desert would make that shoulder feel any better?”
“Hmmmmmm, I think it’s a good start… that might help being sick but maybe you can rub my shoulder later..?” you grinned, knowing you were pushing it, but that hadn’t failed you yet. 
A genuine laugh pulled itself from Geralt as he stood, audible and even forming a faint crease around his eyes. For a witcher, it might as well have been a full belly laugh the way their stoic expressions dampen everything. 
You beamed and watched your handsome witcher as he headed off to get you dessert. You wouldn’t be surprised if his heart was as golden and lovely as his eyes were.  “Hey, Geralt? I love you…” 
“I love you too, Dear heart… no matter how soft you make me.” He said with a smile as he came back to your side and leaned down to press a sweet kiss against your lips.

Tumblr media
you know you never stood a chance series
five: steal from yourselves
series masterlist | prev chapter | next chapter
qz!Joel Miller x f!reader
Words: 2.2k
Summary: You and Joel fight while taking Ellie to Lincoln.
Warnings: dub-con due to power imbalance, free use, sex as payment, vaginal sex, oral sex (m&f receiving), cum play, Joel is mean/bad with feelings, this is not canon compliant, no use of y/n, degradation, canon-typical violence and danger, mention of Tess, description of injury
also on ao3
He’s worse than a field of landmines.
You never��know where you stand with him. One moment, he’s eating you out on the floor of a convenience store, his jacket under your hips to keep away the broken glass.
The next, he’s bitching about your eternal uselessness.
You get it. Sort of. The only purpose you ever served him was a set of warm, wet holes. Never mind the fact that he used to fuss over you. So now, out here, what good are you?
It’s that kind of thinking that makes you keep your mouth shut when you twist your ankle.
He’s there in a heartbeat when you fall, pulling you back up with one arm. You brush the leaves off your clothes and mumble your thanks.
“Dunno how you made it this long,” he grumbles. It’s a harken back to when you were sat at his kitchen table, broken wrist cradled in his gentle hands. It’s sickening, actually, to hear the venom in his voice this time around.
So you press on, ignoring the way your body is screaming in protest. Alarms blare, but you ignore them, keeping pace with Joel so he can’t find another thing to hate you for.
But Joel is Joel, and so when you stop for the night, he spies the swelling.
“Stubborn brat,” he says. “Coulda said something.”
“Oh yeah? What good would that have done?”
“How am I supposed to take care of ya if you don’t tell me when you’re hurt?”
You don’t look at him. You know it won’t last. He’s angrier more than he’s not these days, at least with you.
“What if we had to run? What if I counted on you to do something, and you got us all killed?”
Yep, there it is. You pull yourself up, sneering at him when your ankle protests. “I’ll save you the fucking trouble.” You grab your bag, and even though you know it’s stupid, you walk away.
You don’t make it far. The swelling has made it so much harder to walk, so you get around the curve of the street, about five houses down from the one Joel cleared, and slump on the porch. It has solid half walls, thankfully, so you’re concealed, and you don’t hear any noise or see any lights inside.
“That was fuckin’ rude,” Ellie says.
Joel’s head snaps to her from where he was still watching the road, the inky darkness of the moonless night having swallowed you up.
“Shut up,” he grunts.
“You’re just gonna let her go off and get fungified?”
“Ain’t my business what she does.”
Ellie rolls her eyes. “I’m just sayin’, it’s kind of fucked up.” But she settles down in her sleeping bag, too tired from the long trek to keep arguing.
You had just gotten home from work, still in your regular clothes, when Joel and Tess burst in. He was angry; she was loud.
They’d been bickering about some kind of pills, some kind of trade. You didn’t pay attention; they’d been very clear it was none of your business. Instead, you made a second cup of coffee with extra milk for Tess.
They were still arguing when you went to your room and shut the door. Your hands couldn't seem to unbutton your shirt, fumbling with each, until you gave up after the third and flopped on the bed. Fuck it. You were tired. And as much as you liked Tess, you were pretty sure this meant you weren’t getting fucked, and you felt a little petulant about it.
The door slammed. Your bedroom door flew open moments later. There was something in his eyes that scared you just a little bit. It also made you wet, so there was that.
“Why’re you still dressed?” he asked, already moving to rectify the situation.
“Dunno, didn’t seem like you were in a rush,” you said.
He had you peeled out of your shirt and pants and laid out flat on the bed in record time. He loomed over you, one hand grasping at your waist and the other wrapping around your neck as he bent to capture a nipple between his teeth.
You took a deep, shaking breath, a little dizzy from the barrage of sensations. He bit and licked your breasts, your neck, your chin. You moaned and squirmed under him until he squeezed your throat a little tighter, nipping at your ear.
He pulled away abruptly. “Need your mouth,” he said, tugging at you with the hand on your throat.
You scrambled up onto all fours and held your mouth wide while he stroked his cock a few times in front of your face. When his hand was out of the way, you replaced it with your lips, wasting no time in burying him deep in your throat.
You gagged, but held on, gut telling you he’d be more appreciative of your enthusiasm than anything else that day. You choked yourself on him, tears streaming down your face, but you were right. He rewarded you with a gentle hand cradling your head.
“Fuck, that’s it, good girl. Look at you, takin’ my whole cock.”
You moaned around him, warmth from his praise seeping down your limbs. It made it easier, somehow, for the head of his cock to batter your throat. He fucked up into you, grunting while you struggled to keep breathing.
When he pulled out, he didn’t bother to give you orders. He just shoved you back on the bed and parted your legs with his thighs. Grinning, he rubbed the head over your clit to watch the way you writhed for him.
“You want it, sweetheart?”
“Please,” you groaned, trying to spread your legs wider, be more accommodating. “Please, Joel.” You looked up at him with tears weighing down your lashes, lips turned in a pout.
He was too impatient to string you along, so he just smirked and pushed into your waiting cunt. You cried out from the stretch. Sometimes, it still burned and stung, like the first time, when he didn’t work you open first. Not that you could have waited that night..
There was something in the air you couldn’t quite identify. He fucked you open with vigor, but he was quieter than usual. He mumbled the occasional “good girl” when your moans betrayed a little pain, and his thrusts were smoother, deeper, like he was trying to hide something in your body for no one else to find.
He’d kill them if they tried.
He took you apart over and over, his thumb on your clit demanding your obedience. You gave him everything you had to give, sobbing when it became too much. He kissed the tears from your face.
“Poor thing,” he murmured, though it was not as cruel as he usually got. It was almost tender. He made up for it by returning a hand to your throat to coax another orgasm from your wrung-out body, biting at your breasts until you clamped down on him. He pulled out and covered your tits in his thick, milky cum.
He stayed over you, caging you in with his body. You were exhausted, eyes fluttering shut as you gasped for air. He took two fingers and smeared the cum all over your breasts, tweaking your nipples with slick-coated pads. When he was satisfied with his artwork, he stuck the fingers in your mouth.
You cleaned them off, humming softly at the buzz between your ears. He got up and tucked his cock away, looking down at you.
You forced your eyes open to see him. His forehead was creased, and his lips tugged down at the corners.
“Leave that there,” he said when he finally looked away, leaving the room without another word.
You lay panting on your bed, shivering a little as the cum dries on your breasts. He always cleaned you up after. Always.
You dozed off a little, startling awake when he entered a while later. You weren't sure how long it had been, but the sun had almost set. In the orange glow across your bedspread, he dumped an armful of… well, something. You couldn’t quite tell.
“Put these in your bag,” he said, rifling around in your closet and tossing the backpack at you. Clothes followed it, one of his long-sleeve shirts and a pair of sweats that unfolded in the air, smacking you in the face.
Your brain hadn’t caught up with him, still in the pleasant hallows of your dream, but your body knew what to do. When all else failed, it obeyed Joel Miller. You were dressed and standing before you were fully acclimated.
“Why?” you finally said, shoving handfuls of what turns out to be protein bars and batteries, bandages and clothing, and a flashlight into your backpack.
“Ya can’t stay here anymore,” he said, and you froze, a wounded sound slipping out.
“No,” he shook his head, “I mean when I’m gone.”
“Lead with that, asshole,” you grumbled. “But wait, then what—”
“You’re gonna have to come with me,” he said. He handed you a rolled-up sleeping bag, which you attached to the bottom of your backpack with the never-before-used straps.
“But why?”
“Don’t ask questions you don’t want the answer to.” He didn’t want to tell you what one of Robert’s men had said, how he had known that you were naive and alone in Joel’s apartment twice a month.
The man was dead, but if he knew, then you probably weren’t safe there anymore.
“How am I going to be safer out there? That’s where you go, right, outside the walls?” You’d never asked before. Better not to know.
He grunted, which, based on the tone and volume, was Joel for “yes.”
“I haven’t been outside in fifteen years.” You didn’t need to tell him how little you knew, even then.
“You’ll be safer because you’ll be with me.”
You were scared. You couldn’t hide it; you knew he could see it carved into your face. It didn’t make sense; he wasn't some superhuman; he was not repellant to Infected or the horrors beyond. But you were soothed by the thought nonetheless.
You had the bag slung over your shoulder and were toeing on your boots when he stopped filling his bag from the kitchen and came back out to look at you.
“Look,” he sighed and shook his head. “You don’t have to. I won’t drag ya by your hair or anything. I just can’t protect you if you stay.”
“I’ll go wherever you tell me, Joel.” You didn’t mean to say it; your stupid, anxious mouth ran twice as fast as your idiot brain. But you found that you meant it.
“Don’t come cryin’ to me if you regret that.”
Well, you regret it now, but you’d die before crying to him about it, you think. You’re still buried in your sleeping bag on the porch, sun just barely cresting the horizon. You’re slumped down, saved from the damp, plastic carpet by the mostly intact cocoon. The porch is uneven, tilting to the right with decades of shifting foundation coming to haunt its shoddy construction.
It’s quiet. Birds chirp from somewhere as the dim light filters between the dilapidated carbon copy houses. You haven’t slept at all—too afraid.
A voice rumbles in the distance. Undeniably human, possibly male. For one second, your heart jumps, thinking maybe it’s Joel, and you won’t have to try to drag your ass back to him and grovel or find your way home.
And then you remember the reality of the situation. Chances are good that they moved on, and chances are even stronger that you’re not alone in this little subdivision. You don’t have time to wait and see what direction they’re coming from, let alone what they look like. You scuttle to the other side of the porch and jump from the top of the rail over the chainlink fence. You land hard on your side, trying to avoid actually breaking your ankle. It knocks the wind out of you, and there’s sure to be a bruise tomorrow, but you’re able to stand up and creep around into the yard.
There’s a back porch, raised high, with broken trellises along the bottom. At the far end is a garage, the sliding door hanging at an angle, and the regular door missing. Around the corner is an overgrown, dead garden, a doghouse, and the rusty frame of a trampoline.
They’re all shit options for shelter. But you’re not sure you could clear the fence from the ground without rattling it. You can hear boots scraping on the road, low murmurs spilling in their wake. Whoever it is clearly doesn’t want to attract clickers, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t looking for trouble.
You don’t have time to clear any of the hiding places. The garage and the porch are the highest risk for lurking Infected, but you don’t think you can fit quickly into the doghouse. You hear the sound of feet on the creaky front porch and dive for the garage, tucking yourself in around the corner from the regular door.
There are no Infected. There is a corpse, but it’s long gone to rot, skeletal and sickening, in a beach chair in the corner. The skull is shattered and jagged, and a revolver is on the ground. You sneak over and grab it. There are two bullets loaded and no more in sight. Hands wrapped around the grip, you press yourself back against the wall where you shouldn’t be able to be spotted from the house.
And you wait.

some recent mimiwon moments i've been thinking about A LOT 🌷 Minnie
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Everything in [brackets] is text is added text and commentary in the “video”
Tumblr media
[LISTEN PEOPLE]
[a lot has happened]
[a lot of time has passed]
[and a lot has apparently happened in the mimiwon dorm bc we are being FED VERY WELL]
[you know me, #1 mimiwon supporter, fight me on that if you want to]
[some of these might be a stretch, but leave me alone and enjoy the show]
[sometimes you gotta be delulu when no one tells you what's the trululu]
[and the trululu for me is this video]
Weverse LIVE 230811
Mingyu was watching the newest Going Seventeen episode on his iPad, the voices of his members ringing through the speakers in the apartment as he chuckled at the screen in front of him. The sound of footsteps in the background made him look up, turn his head to the right side and chuckle at what he saw. Quickly, the camera was flipped to show the new episode of the BOOmily outing when the members had to sing a song they had heard the night before.
[suddenly so secretive🫣]
The comment section suddenly filled up:
"Is Mingyu not alone?"
"I thought all of the members lived alone, but I can hear whispers..."
"There are more people, right?"
"THAT SOUNDED LIKE MINNIE'S GIGGLE"
"Do you still live together?"
"Pls show Minnie"
"Why did you flip the camera? :("
[AS IF WE COULDN'T HEAR THEM]
[I swear to God, I heard a kiss]
*sound gets replayed, just a little louder*
[alright look, might just be fabric rubbing against fabric or sth else, idk, but let me be delulu]
A few seconds later, after a few more giggles in the background, the camera showed Mingyu's face again. His head was still resting on the back of the couch.
"Guys, look who just came," he spoke out loud before moving his phone further away from him to show the girl who had taken a seat next to him on the couch, looking very comfortable with her head tilted to the side and her knees up.
[THEY LOOK SO CUTE LIKE THAT]
[ugh i hate happy people]
"Hi everyone," Minnie spoke softly, waving to the camera. She turned towards Mingyu, "I was wondering why you were watching Going Seventeen."
"Carats said it's a funny episode, and look at me!" He pointed at the iPad. With one quick look, the girl started giggling and patted his upper arm, "Yeah, well... that's what you look like after waking up."
[IMAGINE getting to see that face every single day]
[HE'S SO CUTE SO PUFFY]
[girl, you're the luckiest bitch in this universe🫶🏼]
"Wow..." Mingyu shook his head.
[yep]
They both looked down at the screen in his lap before the girl opened her mouth again, her head now leaning on his shoulder.
[STOP LOOKING SO DOMESTICALLY CUTE]
[they're making me so sick, but I love them so much😭]
"It was surprisingly cold that morning."
The rapper hummed in agreement. "But it was a lot of fun too." Getting a nod from her in return.
Minnie rubbed her eye and went to cover her mouth as a yawn escaped her, making Mingyu turn his head slightly to look at her. "Are you tired?"
"A little bit."
[it took so many years for them to soften up to each other and now we're getting scenes like this?!]
[THIS IS WHAT YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN KEEPING FROM US]
[i mean, don‘t get me wrong, I love them bickering around, but I never knew I needed them to be like this so badly]
"Should we read some comments to wake you up?" His question made her chuckle. "Should we slowly end the live?" He wondered. "I'll come back. You wanted to do a live soon, right?" He directed his last question at the girl.
[i need him to talk to me this softly]
[since when can mingyu speak so quietly and slowly]
[well, he can]
[but only for MINNIE apparently]
"Yeah, but I have to think about what I want to talk about. Jeonghan's always eating in his lives, and the conversations he has come really easily, but I don't know if I could do it like that. I want to do something else maybe."
"Look," Mingyu pointed at the display on his phone, "Carats are saying they'd even watch you eat in silence."
[i'd watch that girl look at a white wall for HOURS, you don't understand]
[or actually, I think mingyu would understand me]
[whipped mf]
Minnie couldn't help but to giggle. "But that's weird. Just eating and not talking... We'll see." And ended her statement with a shrug.
[no, it's not weird]
[PLS we love stuff like this]
Suddenly, both of the members' heads turned to the side in synch,  
[in synch even off stage]
[this is what happens when you live together, huh?]
stopping for a second before chuckling at the same time. 
[WHAT WAS THAT]
[we all saw it, right?!]
*repeats clip*
[who made them smile like that?]
[don't worry, I already have the answer for you]
[JEON WONWOOOOOOO]
[i found this on twitter:]
*shows the clip again, this time with a raised volume*
[someone said 'balli' right?]
[pls tell me i'm not imagining it]
The girl raked her body up from the slouching position she was in as the rapper focused back on interacting with their fans, saying goodbye to them.
[she was so quick to get up]
[everything for jeon wonwoo, i understand]
[oh i so 1000% understand, girl]
"Bye, be well," he spoke in an unnaturally deep voice. Out of the blue, Wonwoo copied him, making the female member turn her head to the side once again, laughing at the older rapper as he continued to repeat Mingyu's exclaims.
[yeah, alright, we get it, mingyu's not the only one whipped]
"Bye," he waved into the camera as Minnie stood up to stretch her back, only for her to lower her head, peaking in from the top of the screen to wave as well.
"Bye, Carats. Have a good night, eat well and sleep well. Byyeeee"
[BYE MINNIE, HAVE THE BEST SLEEP EVER, YOU WONDERFUL WOMAN, I LOVE YOU]
[i just typed out mingyu's thoughts, you're welcome]
The rapper tapped around on his phone, trying to end the live when the distant female voice in the background spoke quietly, 
"Can‘t we just go to sleep?"
[SHE‘S USING A CUTE VOICE WITH THEM?!]
[didn’t Minnie say, she hates aegyo… well… not when it comes to those guys apparently]
[we will be debating this in the comments, see ya there]

[Going Seventeen] EP.78 Everything Possible In The White Zone #2
[this episode was made for mimiwon, convince me otherwise]
After they discussed Vernon's approach to the game, they decided to play another round, this time trying to find a different member.
First, Seungkwan proposed to let him be the person to find, but every member had a different idea of who it should be.
"We can't play 'Finding Joshua' because he doesn't read his messages," 
Woozi commented, making the room errupt in laughter.
[not mimiwon, but i laughed out so hard]
The group went back and forth until S.Coups made the final decision.
"Let's go with a member that's loud in the group chat, like Minnie."
"Me?" She suddenly sat up straight from her lying position close to Wonwoo's feet.
Dokyeom laughed as he nodded, "Yeah, you."
"Let's go with Minnie, she writes a lot," the leader finalized. 
[Opposite of Joshua]
Everyone seemed to agree, but Mingyu who sighed through his teeth and shook his head,
"Ah, I think Minnie's writing style is too unique, it'll be easy."
[OF COURSE IT'LL BE EASY FOR YOU MINGYU]
"Pff," the girl scoffed, "If you think so."
[i needed the bickering old married couple back, i'm so happy]
"Yeah, it might be easy for you, but not for the rest of us," Dino commented, pointing at the other members.
[DINO, tell us what you know👀]
[my guy, what are you keeping from us]
[share it with the group😬]
"No, Mingyu's right, I think we'll find her quickly," Wonwoo suddenly spoke up too.
[Oh there we go, the other husband]
[yeah go on and support your little couple]
"Jeez, alright," the female performer sighed with a chuckle.
"Let's see," Seungkwan's voice echoed through the room, having the last word before they created a new anonymous group chat.
-
"Who would enter as 'Taylor Swift'?" Hoshi wondered as they went through the names that were now in the chat.
[MINNIE FUCKING KIM WOULD]
[the queen she is]
[queens supporting queens]
[mothers supporting mothers]
The maknae of the group laughed out loud, "Oh, that would for sure be Minnie!"
[again, not mimiwon, but he knows her so well, it's so cute]
[i might have to make a video on dino and minnie]
[have you seen them?!]
[cutest siblings ever]
"I'm not THAT predictable!" The girl argued back.
[🧍‍♂️]
Mingyu turned around to glance at her. "We'll see about that."
"We'll see about that," she mocked him. "I bet you're 'Minnie Mouse', very creative," joking about his possible username, making him roll his eyes.
[BURN]
[did she really just call the creator of the bittersweet logo, the editor of the going magazine AND the artist of woozi's lockscreen NOT CREATIVE?!]
"'Pledis #1 Facecard' is really good too," Minghao commented, followed by a giggle.
[factssssssss]
Minnie grinned. "That's a personal attack on Mingyu though, isn't it?" 
[pls give this man a break minnie]
[he's suffering, but it's so cute]
Her grin washed from her face the second a pillow hit her face.
[that smack was PERSONAL]
-
"Let's ask about her idol," Seungkwan suggested.
"Idol?" The second oldest wondered in confusion.
"But idol as in role model, everyone should know this," the youngest main vocalist added as the other members agreed.
Suddenly a round of laughter filled the room as they went through the messages. The chat showed pictures of mostly Taylor Swift, one of a 15-year-old S.Coups and one of a gif of Jun in his Limbo MV, when suddenly somebody sent in a picture of the Pledis CEO.
[that was FOUL]
"Who sent this?!" Minnie couldn't stop laughing, throwing herself onto the floor.
[i love that she's laughing at her trauma]
[same ngl]
As if that wasn't enough already, the next picture sent was an older one of Woozi in the green practice room.
"Oh, this is Minnie for sure!" Wonwoo exclaimed proudly.
[mh, tell 'em]
"Woozi-hyung? No, I think Han Seongsu-nim is a bigger idol to her," Vernon stated, making everyone laugh harder.
[why is he rubbing salt in the wound HAHAHAH]
"Alright, so you sent in that picture then," the girl pointed at him, making him shrug with a mischievous grin on his lips.
They started debating when Hoshi made a clear statement. "Minnie usually has really old and embarrassing pictures of us on her phone." But Mingyu had something different to add,
"But she's the only one that would send in a moving image." 
[did he graduate from uni with a degree in 'analysis of minnie's texting' bc me thinks so]
To which the other members agreed with hums and nods. The girl stayed quiet in the back.
[i knew he was right, right then and there]
"Wonwoo knows how to do that too," the female performer debated.
[love her brining him into this]
[she needs her emotional support hubby]
"Don't try to make us now think this isn't you!" Hoshi's loud voice echoed through the room. She raised her hands in defeat.
-
"Doesn't she have a unique writing style, though? Let's ask something where she can write something," the youngest threw into the room.
"Do you want us to write entire stories like her?" Wonwoo wondered, chuckling when he saw the glare Minnie sent his way.
[he's a menace but we love him]
[also: i would pay for a novel message written by minnie, so wonwoo should be thankful, he get's them for free]
"Suddenly, you're complaining about my long messages? At least I reply!" She argued back.
[well, there we go, throwing him under the bus]
"Alright, alright, let's ask something like that," Minghao agreed, "That might make it easier."
"Okay, what about dinner recommendations?" Jun asked the rest of them
"Yeah, that's good!" Jeonghan answered him, followed by the others.
A few seconds later the first messages started flying in.
"Whoever Choi Seungnie is-" Seungkwan couldn't even finish his sentences as he started laughing, rolling onto the floor. "You're really holding a big grudge."
[QUICK INTERRUPTION: CHOI SEUNGNIE?! hella cute and the fact that it was cheol made me cry🥹]
"It sounds a lot like younger Minnie," Mingyu commented. "'Forget dinner, just let me go out to meet my friends' Who the hell are you meeting up with?" He directed the last question at the girl who looked at him in shock.
[we get it, you're jealous]
[it's okay, i'd be too]
[but i think that's what happens if your girlfriend is the hottest woman on earth tbh]
"That's not me! I wouldn't text like that!"
He nodded, "I know, I know," smiling to himself as he knew exactly.
As her fingers furiously tapped on her screen, a mumble escaped her lips. "I know exactly who this idiot is."
-
After the last question had been asked, every member had to make their final guess on who the real Minnie was in the group chat, and so the discussion began.
"She's probably the one with only the heart as a username," the leader stated.
"True, she uses that a lot," Dokyeom agreed with him, followed by Vernon who nodded along as he gave his opinion.
[yes, they know her well, BUT there are two people that know her even better]
"But 'Pledis #1 Facecard' used the same emojis. Either she didn't even try to hide it or that person imitating her is really good." The other members nodded. Everyone but the '97 Liner rapper, who interferred,
"But 'tulip' tried a bit too hard to sound different. It was kinda unnatural."
[did he just insult her]
[careful mingyu]
"Yeah, but wouldn't Minnie be better at pretending like that?" Hoshi turned the conversation around again.
"Or," Seungkwan interrupted, "That's EXACTLY what she wants you to think."
"Woah..." Woozi chuckled, "Finding Minnie is more complicated than I thought."
"She's smart, so it's definitely hard," Jun added.
[i knew i was in love with a smart woman]
Joshua glanced at the members with a proud smile, "I'm confident that Minnie is the one with the 'Pledis #1 Facecard'. Very humble."
Minnie giggled in the background.
[VERY HUMBLE HAHAHA]
"Yeah, I think so too," Minghao pointed at him. The rest of the members stood behind the statement, only leaving Mingyu quiet as he shook his head - that being caught by the second oldest member.
"Alright," Jeonghan quieted them down, "Let's just ask them to reveal themselves and then, if it's not Minnie, we can check 'tulip'."
"She's for sure that," Seungkwan mumbled to himself, "It has to be."
"Alright, who was it?" Dokyeom asked with a big smile on his face, turning around to face the group.
[DRUMROLL PLEASE]
Everyone went quiet for a second before a sly grin formed on Wonwoo's lips, "Me."
"Wonwoo?!"
"You?!"
"WHAT?"
"How?!"
[i. knew. it]
[LOOK AT HIS SMIRK]
[HE'S SO PROUD OF HIMSELF]
[i'm so proud of him too, ngl]
Different exclaims, one louder than the other, bounced off the walls as they found out who the real culprit was behind the name.
"What?! I was SO sure it was Minnie," Hoshi gasped, "Wow... that was amazing."
"You impersonated her really well, hyung, woah..." Dino complimented him.
[nah fr though]
[like... the next student who graduated university along with mingyu in the same course]
Wonwoo chuckled, "Thank you, thank you." 
"Wait, but who was 'tulip' now?" Joshua suddenly wondered.
Minnie giggled, "Oh, that was me."
"I KNEW IT!" Mingyu jumped up, "I told you guys! Why didn't you believe me!"
[i mean... what am I supposed to say]
[y'all are seeing this too]
[I don't even need to comment this, just watch them]
"Ugh," Vernon ran a hand through his hair, "We really should've listened to Mingyu-hyung."
-
[Going Seventeen] EP.81 TOUR SEV SEV #1
The screens showed the table where 11 out of the 14 members sat, slowly zooming into the beloved trio on the left side. Mingyu, Minnie, and Wonwoo were sitting next to each other.
They had just finished their call with Dokyeom and were falling back into a regular conversation.
"But why are you reading webtoon right now?" Mingyu suddenly wondered, leaning over the girl to get a better look at the iPad in front of Wonwoo.
"Well-" Jeonghan was about to explain.
"Why are you reading webtoons?"
"He can, why not?" The second oldest defended him, followed by the female member, who smacked her fellow '97 Liner's arm.
[i can NEVER read these two]
[are they gonna be all cutey and touchy today?]
[or are they gonna be just like in the old times?]
"Exactly, why can't he. At least he's educating himself," she argued, placing her hand on top of the older man's shoulder. 
[little dom girlfriend, supporting her sub gamer boyfriend]
[we love seeing it]
The younger rapper shuffled back into his seat, his eyes locked on the girl while he crossed his arms in front of his chest, a slight pout forming on his lips.
"Woah... you're really always taking his side," he mumbled dramatically, shaking his head, and making the girl reach out to poke his cheek with her finger.
[THE POUT?!]
[THE WAY SHE POKED HIM?!]
[I WOULD'VE KISSED HIM RIGHT THEN AND THERE]
[pretty sure she had to hold herself back from doing so]
[i understand minnie]
-
[more wonnie than mimiwon, but look, sometimes there's more content and this was too cute not to be included]
While the entire group was discussing where to go and what type of transportation they could use to their advantage, some would've maybe missed what had happened in the background.
Wonwoo and Minnie had diverted into their own little world, focusing on something on his iPad as they pointed at it and chuckled together. 
[are they looking for another one to sit right in between them? i volunteer]
They were being half covered by Mingyu's bigger frame, but the camera still caught their interaction.
As the girl went to lean back and straighten out the sweater she was wearing, the '96 Liner's hand reached out to move a strand of hair out of her face, earning himself a grin from her.
[ATTENTIVE BOYFRIEND THINGS]
-
Seungkwan jumped up from his seat, "Okay, by foot! Move on already!"
Causing the entire table to errupt in laughter, leaving a stunned Mingyu to sit on his seat.
[this was so choatic, i would've cried]
"Of course, we'd walk to nearby places," Jeonghan tried to calm down the quarrel, but everyone was too focused on the shouting of the '98 Liner.
As Mingyu was motioning to the younger member to sit down, "Don't get mad," speaking more calmly, Minnie leaned on his shoulder, trying to contain her laughter, in clear awe of the member next to her.
[my head would never leave his shoulder, respect to her]
"Seungkwan, sit down," she chuckled, still close to the rapper, patting his upper arm. "And you just move on with what you were saying."
The rapper finally finished his statement, thinking it was over and they could move on to the next subject matter, but the leader inferred.
"That's what I've been saying!"
"What?!" Mingyu mocked him, leaning forward just a slight bit, "You didn't say by foot," pointing at the oldest member, to which Minnie took his hand in hers to push it back.
"Stop that," she commented.
[DOM MINNIE STANS RISE]
[this was so hot for no reason and for every reason at the same time]
Seungcheol continued his argument, "I said by foot. By foot, public transportation, and by car!"
"Okay, Cheol-" the female member started, but the leader stopped her,
"Don't protect him like that, Minnie!"
She glanced at him wide-eyed, "I'm not protecting him! He made us laugh with his 'by foot' comment, so it's all good. Yes, you said it before, but let's just move on. Let him get his screentime."
Mingyu pouted at her comment, "I didn't do it for screentime." Which she brushed off with a motion of her hands, whispering something that wasn't heard clearly, but made him and Wonwoo on the other side of her chuckle in synch.
[I-]
[...]
[...]
[no words]
[they're too cute]
[that's all i can say at this point]
-
[again: wonnie content, but LOOK]
The group erupted into another loud discussion, leaving the more quiet members to their own as they sat back. Minghao decided to stay out of it, focusing on his laptop, while Minnie let her head fall back. Wonwoo turned to look at her, asking her something that the editors didn't put louder in the episode. His question made her sit back up straight, her face scrunching up in a way that could portray pain. The '96 Liner placed his hand on top of her head, patting it softly, letting it travel from her hair down to her back as she leaned forward again, her elbows resting on the table.
[do they know cameras are on them or do they really not care?]
[because WE NEED MORE]
[i've never seen wonwoo this affectionate]
[what is this girl feeding him]
-
[also wanted to include this just bc i thought it was cute]
"Leisure!" Mingyu added to the list as they went through the categories each group could focus on, to which the female performer scrunched her eyebrows.
"Leisure?" Gaining the attention of the '97 Liner next to her, who nodded. "What is leisure?" Looking up with her big brown eyes.
Before he could answer her, Wonwoo raised his voice over the rest of the group slightly, to reach the younger member on the other side. "Vernonie!" His head snapped towards their direction. "What is leisure in English?"
[the way he immediately knew to ask vernon to translate bc it would be easier for her]
[i know the bar is low, but this was cute, alright?!]
"Huh?" He wondered, leaning forward to hear the other rapper better.
"What is leisure? In English," the girl repeated.
"Oh," Vernon nodded, "Free time. Leisure"
"Aaaah," Minnie smiled at him. "Thank youuu. Leisure is really just leisure, okay."

[Going Seventeen] EP.88 BOOmily Outing #4
After the alarm blasted across the place, everyone had gotten up, and one after the other was leaving the house to gather outside. Minnie came out through the door, a jacket swallowing her small frame as she had only taken a long pair of pants and a short-sleeved shirt to sleep in with her. 
[NOW]
[we all have seen this jacket before]
*inserts clip from episode one of Boomily Outing, showing Wonwoo wearing that exact jacket during the intro*
[MH]
[exactly]
*back to cute and tired minnie*
[i guess this is just minnie priviledge]
Her eyes adjusted to the bright light while trying to find a comfortable place to settle down and wait for her turn in the game they had to play. She saw Mingyu sitting on the elevated floor in the middle of the garden and made her way over. 
[we saw her literally looking for him]
The rapper found her approaching and made some space next to him for the girl to sit down, which she gladly accepted. As soon as her bottom hit the wood, her head fell to his shoulders and her eyes closed. Mingyu would shake her awake once it was her turn.
['no place like kim mingyu's shoulder' I LOVE THE GOSE EDITORS BC YES, SAME]

[Going Seventeen] EP.89 Guess Who Left Secretly #1
[this was so chaotic and fun]
After hearing multiple doors closing, Minnie calculated it to be the perfect time to escape from her room. In preparation, she took off her shoes and placed them right next to the door before opening it, ready to rush out. However, her calculations were wrong when she suddenly came to an immediate halt when her eyes locked with Wonwoo's, who gazed at her with a grin. Her lips pressed together in a tight line and she was ready to turn around when the '96 Liner motioned for her to walk past him, making her scrunch her eyebrows in confusion, only for him to move his hand around even faster, telling her to be quick.
[SUPPORTIVE BOYFRIEND IS BACK]
[he's so adorable, how can she just live with him like that]
With a quiet chuckle, she rushed past him, making sure that her steps were as light as possible, but the sudden sound of a familiar voice made her stop in her tracks.
"Call Minnie, please!" Mingyu called out.
[and there comes the devil]
The girl turned around and looked around the almost empty space, where only Wonwoo stood by the table.
"What are you talking about?" She asked, walking back slowly, trying to find an open door with Mingyu's figure - she was even more confused when she couldn't see him.
"I saw you, go back," he argued. The pout on her face made her partner chuckle. She kept her eyes open, looking closely around and focusing on every door individually, when Wonwoo gave her a soft hum, making her turn around to look at him. He pointed up slightly, letting her eyes travel around to where the makeshift build-up walls ended.
"You little-" she stopped herself from cursing, glaring at the camera Mingyu had put up right above his door.
[he was so funnily annoying with this, so i totally understand her]
[but we love it]
-
Sulkingly, the girl decided to stand in the doorway to her room, her arms crossed as she looked straight ahead, waiting for one specific door to open.
Right as it did, revealing the 6ft2 physique of her member, she shouted out loud, "Call Mingyu, please!"
The man sighed, "Yeah yeah, alright, I get it." Closing the door again with a smile.
[I LOVE THEM]
-
A few of the members gathered around in the middle, whispering to each other.
"Kill one person, just one."
"Mingyu," Minnie immediately suggested, getting a round of chuckles from the others as they nodded in agreement.
[PLS MINNIE]
"He's so annoying," Joshua whined.
[besties gotta stick together]
The girl didn't need to be told twice, she knew exactly what to do as she rushed over to the door of said member and locked it right away. Once she turned back around, Vernon was already waiting for her with his hand raised, high-fiving her,
"Good job," he giggled.
[THEY'RE SO ANNOYING HIM]
[he deserved it though]
-
"Mingyu," Wonwoo called out after he exited his room to join the others by the table in the middle, "The name of the program isn't 'Please call them'."
The girl chuckled.
[getting called out by the other husband, as he should]
"Stop laughing, Minnie and just unlock my door," was the only thing coming back from the '97 Liner rapper, but she shook her head, even though she knew he couldn't see her.
[she was so over it HAHAHA]
The female member got closer to the '96 Liner as he stopped by the table. She leaned into his side, speaking softly, "We'll leave by order of age. Okay?"
[my eyes are on you two]
"Us all?" He wondered, pointing at the others who were standing opposite of them, to which she nodded. "Okay," he answered, patting her back as she passed him, brushing her hands over his shoulders.
[it's the little things you know]
[and i don't even know how little this was bc twt went WILD]
[as they should yk]
-
After the second round ended, each member who was still somewhere within the building, came to the open space in the middle. They started discussing which members left when Dino noticed something,
"Minnie? Where's she?"
"Did she leave?" Vernon wondered while looking around.
Wonwoo grinned to himself, knowing that she left a few minutes ago as he had seen her but didn't say anything.
[i know what you did]
[and i love you for it]
[hubby material fr]
Mingyu suddenly shouted, "Please call Minnie!" Only a second later, the sound of a call going through bounced off the walls, making every member laugh out loud.
[and there he goes]
Before anyone could say something to her, the high-pitched voice of the female member rang through,
"You cannot be serious?! I had ten seconds left, you idiots!" Making the guys laugh even harder.
[she's so done]
"Aw, Minnie-ya come back, I miss you," the youngest of them all said to her, making her giggle.
"Well then, I'll only come back because of you, Dino."
"We miss you too!" Mingyu added, but that's when the girl ended the call, letting laughter fill the room.
[I LAUGHED SO HARD]
-
As soon as she got back, her eyes quickly landed on the tallest member, "You called me, didn't you?" And only got a sneaky smile in return.
[i bet my right little finger nail that they discussed this at home]
-
[Going Seventeen] EP.90 Guess Who Left Secretly #2
[if you haven't watched this episode: warning, loud; if you have: have fun watching this mess agian]
Minnie saw her chance and took it. She rushed out of her room, ready to race over to the door, when another one opened revealing Mingyu, who was quick to jump into the middle of the room, blocking off the possibility of her leaving.
"Go back!" He pointed back at her door.
The female performer groaned out loud, "Who unlocked your door again?!"
[vernon babes, hate to break it to you]
"Go," Mingyu just laughed at her antics, continuing to point at her door.
The two fell into a sudden silence as Minnie tried to get closer, lowering her voice.
"Let's form an alliance," she spoke softly, extending her hands, "You let me go now, and I won't tell you."
[she... her voice... i need her to whisper into my ear like that]
"That's not how the game works," the rapper shook his head with a chuckle, taking small steps back to keep the distance between the two.
"Says who?!" The girl whined, making him laugh even more.
"You have to go back, Minnie," He tried to explain to her as she crossed her arms in front of her chest, shifting her weight onto one leg, popping out her hip.
"Alright, then you have to back too because technically I caught you as well."
[THE SASS]
Mingyu nodded, "And I will, after you went back." Earning himself a glare from the main dancer.
[they're so hot when they're both like this]
[rilled up af]
The two were interrupted by the sudden opening of a door to their right, where Wonwoo's head peaked out, both members now focused on him. The distraction gave Minnie the opportunity to brush past her fellow '97 Liner, quick on her feet as she tried to sprint towards the door. Mingyu reacted quickly, able to grab the female member by her arm just as she passed him, making her groan.
"NO! Let go!" She fell to the floor dramatically, but Mingyu didn't even budge. 
[NOT EVEN A MILIMETRE DID THIS MAN MOVE]
[AS IF HE'S USED TO THIS]
[his grip must be so tight, oh lord, my thoughts are travelling]
[imagine his grip around your-]
Minnie's feet, still without shoes on them, stuck to the floor with all her strength as she tried to pull back from the guy's tight grip on her wrist. He let her go with a chuckle, making her sigh in relief, only for him to snatch her by her ankle. 
[the way he's enjoying this...]
[that hot mf...]
[i need him to do this to me]
A loud groan tumbled from her lips.
"You're using your strength against me, and that's unfair!"
[bet you that ain‘t the first time he's done that]
[TELL ME I'M WRONG]
By now the two of them had gained an audience, each one of their members staring and laughing at the two. Dokyeom was already on the floor too, his loud laughter filling the room while Hoshi was wiping away the tears that had left his eyes.
[love how they're all enjoying mingyu just manhandling her like this]
"Ya!" Wonwoo chuckled as he got closer to the two, "Let go of her and both of you, go to your rooms, come on." 
[DADDY]
[sorry, i slipped]
[the athority is doing things to me, i can't help it😶]
He tapped Mingyu's shoulder, making him loosen his grip before he took a step forward, reaching out with his right hand for Minnie to grab, but she only kicked up with her leg, pushing his hand away with a smile. 
[LOOK AT HER]
[look at her]
[she literally enjoyed this giant manhandling her]
The '96 Liner came up behind the other rapper and swapped places, helping the female performer up and brushing over her back, making sure her clothes didn't get dirty.
[and there comes the hubby material again]
"Wow, that was so dramatic," Dokyeom commented, making the others chuckle and nod in agreement.
[this fr must've been quite the scene to watch in real life]

[Going Seventeen] EP.91 Point of Omniscient Interfere Penalty #1
"Whoever does 30 squats outside gets 20 grapes!" Mingyu shouted into the room, sitting by the counter, eating his bowl of freshly cooked ramen.
Minnie didn't need to be told twice and rushed over, pushing past S.Coups who also wanted to give the challenge a chance, to the door, leading to the garden. "I'll do it!" She told them before disappearing, making sure to stay by the window.
[giving into a man that easily... minnie... i thought we were better than that]
[but then again... we are talking about mingyu here, so... i get it]
After crouching down 30 times, the girl got back inside, clearly out of breath as she found her fellow '97 Liner still sitting where she had last seen him. She approached him slowly.
"I did it," she got out, her hands on her hips as her breaths were falling heavily from her lips.
Mingyu's eyes met hers, noodles still hanging out of his mouth. "Oh, really? I didn't see it."
[bitch]
"W-," the girl gazed at him in shock, "You can't do that! You said whoever does it gets twenty grapes and I did it."
"But I didn't see you. How am I supposed to know you're telling the truth?" 
Minnie didn't answer him but just continued to stare at him.
With a grin, he patted the seat next to him, "Come on, sit down, I'll feed you ramen as an excuse." When she didn't even budge, he reached out to hold onto her wrist gently, pulling her in.
[why is her wrist so tiny in his hands]
[and why is that doing something to me]
[size kink go brrrr]
But she was anything but impressed by his pitty apology. "Mister Mediator!" Making Mingyu groan and throw his head back.
[THIS IS WHY THEY'RE PERFECT TOGETHER]
[mimiwon forever]
[🤍🐶🌷🐱🤍]
Wonwoo walked over to the couple, hands in his pocket and a smile plastered on his face. "Yeah?"
Minnie pointed at the culprit. "Mingyu's lying, and he's mean."
[gotta love a 25 year old woman calling out a 25 year old man for not giving her stickers]
"Mm," the '96 Liner hummed, "How many grapes did he promise you?"
"20."
He nodded, "Okay, I believe you. Mingyu, give her the twenty grapes." 
[oh wonwoo, can you be any more of a simp?!]
Wonwoo simply told him before passing them again and walking over to the other side of the room.
The younger rapper followed his best friend with wide eyes. "W- He's just gonna leave like that?"
"Well," Minnie grinned, "You heard him," showing him her palm.
Mingyu scoffed, "He's biased for real."
[STAND UP FOR YOURSELF]
[like... he doesn't even want to]
[they're both wrapped around her finger]
[even though he's trying not to show it too much, he can't hide it]
[not from us]
-
The Mimiwon trio was relaxing on the wooden platform by the karaoke machine, watching the performance unit leader with smiles on their faces as he tried to sing a song he had never heard of before.
"Hoshi, I'll give you ten if you finish this well!" the tallest of them all shouted out, getting a thumbs up in return.
All of a sudden, Minnie leaned forward, placing her chin on Mingyu's shoulder, whispering, but still speaking loud enough for the microphone to catch her. "Do you want to give me five grapes?"
[she's adorable, so yes, i would give her five grapes]
"For what?" Her turned his head, making her pull back slightly as they locked eyes.
She shrugged with a smile, "Just because." But he didn't answer her, instead directing his attention back to the singing tiger.
[HOW COULD HE DO THIS TO HER]
With a pout, the girl sulked back into her place. Wonwoo chuckled at the scene in front of him.
"What's going on with you two?" He wondered.
[pls get your partners in check]
Minnie turned around to face her boyfriend. "Should Mingyu give me five grapes?"
"What for?"
The female member placed both of her palms right underneath her chin, cupping her cheeks and tilting her face to the side with a soft smile playing on her lips.
[this could only work on them, and literally only them]
[the other members would've laughed in her face, SO HARD, you cannot even try to tell me i'm wrong]
[i know damn well i'm right]
Wonwoo nodded, "I see. Hm... I guess he should."
[... he's so weak for her]
[i need a man to be this down bad for me too]
[scratch that, i need wonwoo to be this down bad for me too]
She jolted up in excitement, smacking the other rapper's shoulder to make him turn around. "Ah, what?"
"He said you have to give me five grapes," Minnie nodded behind her, where a smiling '96 Liner was already gazing at the two in front of him.
"Woah, hyung," the younger rapper sighed, "You can't keep doing that."
[he's about to leave this relationship, i'm telling you guys]
"He's the mediator, he can do whatever he wants." 
[OH, wifey protecting her husband]
To which Mingyu rolled his eyes, already diving into the small bag that held the stickers she was asking for, keeping a glare on the girl, who provocatively kept on smiling at him.
-
Hoshi, Joshua, and Minnie stood up from their positions on the couch after Mingyu proposed the idea of drawing a portrait of Wonwoo, even though all three of them had already finished filling up their shirts with purple stickers. Their giggles followed them as they went to get a piece of paper each and pens. 
After they sat down on the floor, Jun decided to join them. "What are we doing?"
"Drawing a portrait of Wonwoo's face," Hoshi explained to him.
[and who's idea was that? sir simp kim mingyu]
"Wonwoo's face," he chuckled in amusement but still got ready to start his own drawing as well as he was still in desperate need of more stickers.
"I'll draw you too," Mingyu sat down as well, "I'm really good at drawing Wonwoo, we're roommates after all."
[i love how a lot of carats were starting to doubt they still lived together, so he really just had to remind everyone]
[no one's taking him away from you, don't worry mingyu]
[minnie's sharing him with you at least]
"And Minnie?" Vernon chuckled as he looked to the side, seeing the girl gaze up at the '97 Liner with scrunched eyebrows.
"Yeah, exactly," she scoffed, "What about me? You don't think I can draw him well?"
[oh minnie, you can draw him so much better, i believe in you]
"I've been roommates with him for longer," he argued back.
[why did he have to hurt her like that]
Minnie pointed a strict finger at him, "Next time I'm moving apartments, I'm taking Wonwoo with me."
[THE GAME IS ON]
[she threatened him GOOD]
[damn, that really must've hit close to home]
[wouldn't wanna be in the car on the way back to the apartment]
"Why are you three joining anyways?" The '96 Liner decided to change the subject.
[Mister Meditator is good at mediating]
Joshua turned towards him to answer his question. "Screen time, screen time."
"Plus I want to show Mingyu, I can draw you better than him," the girl added without looking up, getting a chuckle out of the Korean-American as he patted her hair gently.
[not mimiwon, BUT I LOVE THEIR INTERACTIONS SO MUCH TOO]
-
Minnie stood between Hoshi and Mingyu, being third to reveal her portrait as she clutched the piece of paper close to her chest. Her turn had come.
"Okay," she started, "My backstory is... because I keep up with Wonwoo's Gameboy lives, I decided to not only draw a portrait of him BUT to actually draw a portrait of his Animal Crossing character."
"Ooh, because you're so attentive," Jeonghan pointed, making her smile.
"Exactly."
[she's so supportive of her gamer boyfriend, i love it]
Mingyu's scoff made her eye him with a glare. "That's an excuse to be able to draw something animated. That's too easy."
"What do you know? Why are you coming at me like that!" The female member argued, kicking him softly with her foot.
[this was them almost the entire two episodes btw]
[it started off cute and ended like this, idk what happened]
"Yeah, leave her alone! Just because you don't keep up with Wonwoo's lives doesn't mean you have to be mean to her," S.Coups pointed at the younger rapper, getting a pout in defeat from him.
[big brother cheol coming to the rescue]

Younji's Drinking Show
[THIS WAS MY FAVOURITE THING EVER]
[i SO HIGHLY recommend you watch the whole video]
[i laughed so hard]
[this girl really doesn't know when to shut her mouth]
[i was surprised they kept this all in]
[but god, i just know everything they cut out must be GOLD]
[I'm gonna need a part two btw, just in case youngji and/or her team is watching. hi.]
With scrunched eyebrows, the idol leaned forward slightly, as if that would get her to see outside of the apartment.
"Was that a bark?" Minnie wondered.
[nah, probably just carats tbh, we do that nowadays]
Unsurprised, Youngji nodded, turning back around from her place by the kitchen counter, where she had prepared more drinks for the two of them. "Yeah, one of the neighbours has a dog."
"You're allowed to have pets here?"
The younger girl shook her head with a chuckle, "No."
[mood]
"Oh," Minnie joined her, covering her mouth and thanking her for the new beverages as they both sat back together at the table. "Ugh," her sigh was filled with sadness, "I should also keep a pet secretly."
"What?" Youngji laughed out loud, "Why secretly?"
"I'm not allowed," the performer pouted.
"Why? Says who?"
"My roommates," Minnie answered, 
[MY ROOMMATES]
[AS IF WE DON'T KNOW WHO THEY ARE BABES]
[she's so salty about this subject, i can't with her😂😭]
and took a sip from one of the cocktails she had mixed for both of them earlier, because yes, she wasn't yet drunk enough, her drunk self told her that.
"Aaaah," the young rapper nodded, "Wonwoo and Mingyu, right?"
"That's right," she nodded.
Youngji put a piece of meat in her mouth before continuing, "You three have lived together for a long time, haven't you?"
[suspiciously long, yes youngji, pls keep digging for the sake of mimiwon supporters, thank you]
The '97 Liner nodded as she was still drinking.
"For how long?"
"Ehm..." Minnie put the glass down, her pointer running around the brim in circles. She tilted her head to the side, "...when... when did Bittersweet come out?" Turning to her right, she hoped the producers could help, to which the younger girl chuckled,
[i know she was tipsy here already, but the fact that she didn't know😪🥲]
"Shouldn't you know that? Why are you looking at them?"
"I don't know," Minnie laughed out loud, "I forget... ehm... 20...21? Yeah," she nodded, "Yeah, 2021... May, I think. We moved in together around the time that we released that. Right before- before we went to In The Soop."
[this explains so many moments from in the soop tbh]
"Aaaah, ok ok, I see. And they still don't let you have a pet after over two years?"
[and she's been begging for one for YEARS]
The idol shook her head.
"Why not? What pet do you want? A kangaroo?"
[IMAGINE😂😂😂]
Her unexpected joke made the girl laugh hard as she hunched over the table. "Nooo, I want a cat. I've been wanting a cat for AGES."
"You have Wonwoo. He's a handsome cat too."
[youngji knows what's up]
Minnie's nose scrunched at the comment. "I know, I know, but a real cat would be really cute."
[SHE SAID SHE KNOWS]
[she knows how handsome her cute little boyfriend is, love it]
"Why don't they let you."
"Well... Wonwoo... Wonwoo would want one too, but... Mingyu doesn't. I mean, he's allergic-"
"That's a pretty good reason not to get a cat, Minnie, I must say," Youngji interrupted her, filling the room with her own laughter, accompanied by the staff in the background.
[no, don't side with her]
Minnie was quick to reach out with her hands, "No no no! He can take medication for that," she brushed it off, "But yeah... they say we don't have time for one, and I know they're right, but the other members have dogs, and they're happy and I would take very good care of a cat."
The younger one nodded. "Call them."
[i literally gasped when she said that]
"What?" The '97 Liner was taken aback.
"Call them." She repeated.
"Wonwoo and Mingyu? Now? Should I?" All producers bounced their heads with excitement, 
"We need good content," making the two at the table giggle. "And the producers are really big fans."
[i mean, who isn't, let's be honest]
"Yeah, I can tell," Minnie laughed.
-
The phone rang for just a second before Mingyu picked up. Before he could say anything, the girl beat him to it.
"You're on speaker, just so you know!"
[SHE WAS SO QUICK WITH THAT HAHAHAH]
[girl ain't about to catch a scandal]
A deep chuckle could be heard from him. "Are you still at Youngji's place?"
"Yep," she answered, moving her phone over to the other girl, so she could talk to the speaker.
"Hello, Kim Mingyu," she greeted him.
"Ah, hello Youngji. How are you?"
"I'm very good, how are you?" But he didn't even get the option to answer as Minnie snatched her phone back up to her.
"There's something important I have to discuss with you." Giggles came from behind the camera. The staff was very much enjoying the interaction.
"Okay. And you want to discuss that over the phone... on speaker? While drunk?"
[his concerned voice is actually so cute]
She rolled her eyes, "I'm not that drunk."
"Sure," Mingyu simply answered, clearly not believing her even a little bit.
[SURE]
"So," she started, "About the cat-"
"Minnie, no," he immediately stopped her, making her look straight into the camera, anything but amusement written all across her face.
[she knew he was gonna say that]
[i knew he was gonna say that]
[you knew he was gonna say that]
[but damn, he really just hurt her like that]
"But-"
"We've talked about this so many times."
"But you're not listening to me..."
"I've listened to you," he spoke softly to her, "I've even watched your PowerPoint presentation,"
[POWERPOINT PRESENTATION]
[she did a freaking presentation]
['why we should get a cat by kim minnie‘]
[i need to see this presentation]
"but Jag-...," he cleared his throat, "Minnie-ya... we can't. You know, we don't have time for one."
[Y'ALL HEARD THAT RIGHT]
[let me replay that for you]
*replays the clip*
[NOW]
[what are we gonna do about that]
[we knew exactly what he said, or what he wanted to say or whatever]
[... but yeah sure, i bet they're just calling each other that casually around the dorm, mh]
"Is it because of your allergy?" She wondered, placing the phone down to put both of her hands underneath her thighs.
Mingyu chuckled slightly. "I mean, yeah, that too. But I also don't have Aji or Bobpul with me-"
"Bring them! You can bring them to the apartment, and I'll get a cat-"
"Minnie, stop," he was now full-on laughing on the other side of the phone, Youngji doing the exact same on her side of the table.
[this conversation was everything to me, knowing they've had it multiple times before, but now over the phone, with a drunk minnie, WHILE BEING FILMED]
The female performer groaned, "I'm gonna call Wonwoo."
[if one boyfriend says so, you can still ask the other one, what a priviledged life istg]
[only minnie can do this]
"Wonwoo's right next to me, he's listening," the rapper told her.
"Wonwoo!" She called out, catching Youngji off-guard as she jolted up at the sudden volume of her voice.
"Minnie!" He copied her tone with an evident smile. "Do you want us to come pick you up?"
[THE SOFTNESS OF HIS VOICE]
[kill me pls]
[also: yes, come pick me up. yes, please. yes. on your motorcycle, thank you.]
"What? Hell no, I'm not done here."
[she was enjoying this so much]
The female rapper gave her two thumbs up with a proud grin.
"But," Seventeen's female member continued, "You can try to get Mingyu to agree on the cat."
"You know, I can't do that. We've tried. But we can go to the cat shelter tomorrow again if you want." His proposal made the girl's eyes glow up.
[and that's how you make a woman happy]
[other men, please take notes]
[just copy everything wonwoo does]
[just be jeon wonwoo, then you're perfect]
"Really?"
"Yeah, sure."
"Alright, then I'll let it slide for now, I guess. I'm still sad about it though."
"I know," Wonwoo chuckled, "Maybe one day. Enjoy the rest of the time with Youngji, okay?"
"Yep," she smiled, looking down into the phone.
"And don't say anything stupid when you're already this drunk now!" Mingyu suddenly shouted through the phone, sounding more distant than before.
[oh, our boy was SCARRED]
"Yeah, just be careful, okay? Call if you need anything," the '96 Liner stated, to which Youngji looked into the camera in shock.
[same youngji, same]
[we all need a man like that]
[PLS WONWOO, MY EXPECTATIONS ARE ALREADY HIGH ENOUGH, for christ sake]
"Alright," Minnie spoke sweetly, "I'll see you later."
Wonwoo hummed into the phone.
"I love you," she took the device into her hands again. Only another hum followed, making her frown. "Ya, say it back!"
[THIS INTERRACTIONS]
"Yeah, I love you too. Now go back to filming," the older rapper chuckled, ending the call.
[he's suddenly so shy, what the hell wonwoo]
The female dancer handed the phone back to one of the producers behind the camera to keep it safe for the time being.
Youngji was still quiet in her seat, just looking around the room wide-eyed.
"What's going on?" Minnie couldn't help but chuckle at her facial expression.
The younger girl sniffled, "They're so cute!" The dancer threw her head back and clapped, accompanied by her laughter echoing through the room. "Oh my God... I expected them to be kind, but THEY'RE SO SWEET!"
[RIGHT?!]
[and she just gets to live with them AND has both of them wrapped around her finger, can you believe it?!]
Minnie nodded, "They are."
"Do you always say 'I love you' so casually?" Youngji wondered, making the '97 Liner stop for a second before she answered.
[oh, there we go]
"Yeah... I always make them say it," she gulped, "But I make all of the members say it. It's important to hear it from the people close to you, you know?"
[sure minnie... sure... yeah i totally make my friends say i love you back to me]
"Aaaah," the other girl nodded, "That's true."
-
"You really have an entire bedroom here, wow," Minnie peeked inside one of the doors after exiting from the bathroom. Youngji had started to put some of their old glasses onto the kitchen counter to make more room for food on the dining table. The girls were a lot more drinks in now, making it hard for either of them to walk straight as they just continued to chuckle for no apparent reason.
"I couldn't sleep here on my own," the female performer mumbled as she slowly made her way back to her seat, leaving a confused '02 Liner standing
"You couldn't? Can't you sleep alone?" She wondered, joining the idol at the table.
Minnie shook her head. "But that's because... I mean- you have to imagine... I've shared a room with someone since 2010. Ever since I became a trainee. To suddenly sleep alone is gonna be really hard," her words were lulled but still clear to understand.
"But..." Youngji rubbed her eyes gently, her eyebrows still tightly scrunched together, "So... you share a room now in the apartment too? With Wonwoo and Mingyu."
[LADIES AND GENTS, WE GOT HER]
[OH YOUNGJI, YOU WONDERFUL GENIUS]
The Seventeen member opened her mouth, but closed it quickly again, looking straight ahead, before locking eyes with the other girl. "Oh... no!" She chuckled, "No, no... I meant like... alone... in an apartment... yeah." 
[yeah... mh]
[my god minnie, we love you a lot, but that hole you're digging is getting deeper and deeper]
[and we love it too much to get you out of it😭]
Quickly reaching out to get a hold of the glass in front of her.
[try playing it off as hard as you want, we got you in 4k]
"Mm... I see..." Youngji dragged out her answer as she kept her eyes strict on Minnie, who, in return, felt the gaze, making her glance over, only for both of them to errupt in laughter together.
[YOUNGJI KNOWS]
[oh she so knows]
[do you understand me now why we need a part two of this video?!]
-
A voice from behind the camera, made the girls look up.
"Oh, your mum is calling," the younger rapper explained, pointing at the producer who was holding up her phone.
Minnie squeezed her eyes shut, "Aaah... I'm way too drunk to talk to her normally.... hold on." She got up from her seat and walked over to grab the device, answering it while still out of the shot.
The crew had turned off her microphone, leaving Youngji's on, so she could talk to the audience in a whisper.
"Minnie is talking to her mother on the phone, she'll be right back."
[MAMA KIM HIIIIII]
[gotta love the queen]
A cut later, the female member was back, sitting in her designated seat.
"Everything okay?" The younger one asked.
The '97 Liner nodded, "Yeah, yeah, she just wanted to talk, but I asked her if I could call her in a few hours or tomorrow, so... all good."
Youngji nodded as she filled up another round of shot glasses with the Soju the other woman had brought along to the shoot.
"What does your mum think about the members?" She suddenly wondered.
"Oh," Minnie covered half of her face as she had just put a rice cake in her mouth, "She LOVES Mingyu." 
['what does your mum thing about THE MEMBERS?']
['oh, she loves mingyu']
[NOT THE QUESTION]
[love how she just bursted that one out]
And continued after chewing and swallowing. "I mean she loves Wonwoo too- all of the members, but... yeah... really likes them." 
[oh girly]
Youngji nodded along to her story. "Last year... I got to go home for my birthday, for... like a week or so and... I took..." She thought about how she should best tell the story but just continued as Carats already knew most of what she was going to say. "I brought Wonwoo along with me."
[just so we're all on the same page: we thought she went with him, right? But it was never confirmed.]
[WELL, not up until now]
[!wonwoo and minnie couple holiday!]
"Oh, why Wonwoo?" The rapper wondered, handing over the shot glass.
[that's the right question to ask]
The girls clinked their glasses and threw back the alcohol before taking a deep breath to let it settle in their bodies.
"Ehm... I just- He had never been, and... he had time, so... you know," she shrugged while Youngji kept on grinning at the female member.
[WHAT DO YOU KNOW YOUNGJI]
[LOOK AT HER SMIRK]
 "And after we left, my mum immediately texted me 'And when's Mingyu coming?' and I was like..." she paused for a second. "Mum... you just saw Wonwoo again after... YEARS, so... let me bring them one at a time." 
['one at a time‘ but watch her only taking mingyu the next time and then not brining any of the other members]
Ending her story with a chuckle.
"Where did you stay while you were there?"
"When we were in England, we stayed in a hotel, but then we also visited my grandparents for a bit and just stayed at their house because they live in the countryside, so it was easier to just stay with them."
[for this i really have no words, it's just hella cute]
[introducing the boyfriend to the grandparents]

Weverse Live 230824
"Okay," Minnie sighed as she slumped back into the seat she had occupied earlier on the couch, her phone back in her hands so her face was seen again on the live. "I took Mingyu's iPad so we can listen to some music in the background," she explained, tapping around the screen of the device. "I'm really sorry, Carats, I almost forgot how to do these lives, I haven't done one in so long." She decided to set the phone on the coffee table in front of her, so she could have both hands free to type. "Wait," she mumbled before a lot of rustling could be heard as she shuffled forward, pushing the coffee table slightly back so she could sit down on the floor, resting her back against the couch. "There we go," she sighed happily, "That looks much better. I should've done that from the beginning."
A few seconds passed in silence.
"So," she started again, "I'm accepting song requests," and leaned forward to read the comments showing up on her phone screen. For a bit, she read through them until one caught her eye.
"Miley Cyrus' Flowers, please," Minnie nodded, "Yes, that's a good one." 
[if i didn't know she was happily living with her two husbands, i'd wonder who had hurt her, ngl]
While she already started to mumble, she typed in the name of the song, only for it to be played through the speakers in the apartment a second later.
"Is the volume okay?" She wondered, "I'll lower it a bit, so you can hear me better."
With a smile, she read through the comments, chuckling every now and then.
"'Mingyu said he furnished the apartment by himself, is that true?'" She read out loud, "Ehm... slightly, yeah. I mean..." for a quick moment, she thought about her answer, looking around the room. "I just wanted it to be comfortable... but our styles- like our... interior style choices differ a lot from each other... so... it was hard to make choices, so I let him choose a lot of the furniture. As long as it made me feel comfortable, I was fine with it," she answered with a smile and nod.
[it's so domestic, they warm my heart, it's disguting]
[i love them though]
"'Where are Mingyu and Wonwoo?' I mentioned it earlier, they went out to get food but I said I'll stay back and do the live I've been wanting to make but never have time for. So now I'll wait and chat with you guys until they're here." Minnie continued to hum to the tune of the song.
"'You don't want to do a live with them?' No, it's not that... I don't mind doing a live together with them, but... hm.... we- we usually talk about things... that we can't really talk about with Carats...," she gazed around the room suspiciously. 
[THE EYES, CHICO, THEY NEVER LIE]
[we would LOVE to know what y'all are talking about btw]
"That sounds weird, but I don't mean it like that, it's just... like the things we talk about at the monthly meetings. Just more private and... boring things... yeah." She ended it with a grin, hoping her answer was enough and it wouldn't cause too much tumult.
[PRIVATE THINGS HUH]
[i can tell you one thing and that's that she wasn't thinking about any talking when she answered that question]
"Yes!" She excitedly sat up straighter, the iPad back in her grip, "I'll add more songs, please request them now. I'm gonna put them all into the queue. That's gonna make it easier."
She added one song after the other, trying to pick out the ones she thought she'd be allowed to play.
Right as Minnie had opened her mouth again to talk, the door to the apartment opened, and the familiar deep voices filled the room,
"Jag-"
"AAAAAH" the girl suddenly shouted, "What?" quickly snapping her head to the right. 
[THE PANIC]
[i mean, we didn't hear it clearly, and I'm open for suggestions on what you heard, but know what I want to hear, so I'm staying with mine]
She reached out with her hand, ready to cover the camera when she found the eyes of the culprit entering the living room with an apologetic smile on his face. 
[this.]
[let's go over this]
*clip repeats*
[WONWOO]
[not him literally outing them like that]
Minnie nodded, speaking calmly again, "You're back already."
[just survived a heart attack]
"Yeah," Wonwoo could be heard from the side. "The food was already done when we arrived."
[exactly, play it off as if nothing just happened]
"You're still live?" Mingyu suddenly spoke up, to which she nodded, suddenly getting joined by him in the shot. "Hey guys!" He called out to the live, waving his hand to greet everyone that was watching. The rapper sat down next to her, having to push the coffee table back just a bit further as he took up more space.
"We didn't think you'd still be live. We thought you might end it because we took a little bit longer," he explained, a somewhat tight smile on his lips.
"Yeah," she nodded with a chuckle, "I figured."
[MH]
[kinda guessed that by your entrance]
"Are you playing your own playlist?" Wonwoo's voice got closer right as Minnie looked up, following something behind the camera while Mingyu was focused on reading through the comments.
[how he can just DETECT her music]
"No," she smiled up, "Carats just the same good music taste as me," cutely tilting her head when her gaze landed back on the screen. "Oh- come here," he motioned on her left side, "Don't you want to say hello to Carats?" Minnie asked with a teasing tone, giggling when Wonwoo got closer, leaning down to appear in the frame, waving.
"Hello everyone," he smiled.
She patted the free space next to her, "Sit down."
"No," he pointed to the couch, "I'll sit behind you." She immediately leaned forward, so the rapper could get in a comfortable position behind her on the couch, her shoulders squished in between his knees. 
[what even]
[like... he's doing this on purpose]
[you know that, right]
[he wants to show off]
The sight of it in the camera made her laugh, Mingyu joined her once he saw it too.
"I'm Wonwoo, and I have 57cm shoulders," she mimicked the deep voice of the man behind her, making him squeeze his legs together, squishing her even harder. Minnie smacked his calves to make him stop, getting a chuckle from him in return.
[THE TEASING]
"58cm," he simply added, to which she rolled her eyes dramatically.
"I'm so sorry, how could I dishonour you like that?" The two men laughed at her antics.
[i need more of this]
[pls let wonwoo forever be this affectionate]
While Mingyu continued to read out loud some questions and answer them along the way, the girl turned around to look up at the older member. She found the bottle he was still holding and reached out with her hand, making 'grabby-hands' to get a hold of it. Without needing to be told twice, Wonwoo handed it over after taking a gulp from it.
She put it up to her lips and took a sip, before closing it and handing it back to him, continuing to look straight ahead.
[i know some other members have done similar things, but I personally don't just take the bottle from my friends and drink it]
[👀👀]
-
"Did you close the window in the bedroom already?" The '96 Liner suddenly asked. Minnie stopped reading through the comments, subconsciously wrapping her arm around one of his calves that had now trapped her shoulder between them and the couch.
[now back to the singular use]
[this might be a translation problem, but i will go with it]
[THE window in THE bedroom]
[y'all have one bedroom or what?]
"Yeah, earlier, why?" She tried to look back at him as she wondered.
Wonwoo shrugged, "It's a bit chilly."
"Ah, but... oh, the bathroom window is still open."
He nodded, "Oh, ok, ok."
The girl got ready to get up, "I can go close it." But Wonwoo didn't make any move to let her out from his legs around her frame.
[he looks so comfy like this😭]
[minnie too]
[just too domestic, i can't]
"No, it's fine. I'll do it later." Making her go back to her original position.
-
"Wonwoo!" The girl made the older rapper jump by the sudden volume of her voice as she raised her head - having let it rest on his knee for a while.
[again, no words, just cutey thoughts]
"Huh?" He wondered, putting his phone to the side.
"'What was the last book you read?' a Carat asked," she explained to him, continuing to look straight ahead, taking a quick glance over to the other man who had the iPad and had started drawing something, making her smirk.
"Ehm..." Wonwoo tilted his head to show he was thinking, "What was the book you had on the nightstand?"
[THE NIGHTSTAND]
[not even YOUR nightstand, just THE]
[imma be sleeping on the highway tonight]
"Me?" She pointed to herself, slightly looking up, yet not being able to see him fully. He hummed in response.
"Diary of a Murderer," she told him and the people that were on the other side of the screen.
The rapper nodded, "Then that. I quickly breezed through it when I saw it."
[sharing books is a love language in itself to be fair]
Out of the blue, Minnie smacked Mingyu's upper arm gently. "I told you to read that," before doing the same to Wonwoo's leg. "I didn't think you'd like it." Directing each sentence to each one of them.
"I'll read it once you're done," her fellow '97 Liner assured her with a smile, followed by the sound of him placing his hand on something, almost imitating a slapping sound.
[they got mingyu to read now too]
-
Minnie was focused on answering a question, getting surprised by the delicate touch on top of her head.
[so checking out if my toaster is waterproof in the bathtop right after this video]
[how are these people calling me single THIS hard]
"I'll go prepare the food. I'm getting hungry," Wonwoo told her, his voice low and gentle as he stood up after the girl shuffled her body forward, ducking her head, so he wouldn't accidentally smack her with his knee or foot, even though he still had his hand on top of her hair.
Mingyu sighed, "Yeah, I'll help you," following his member out of the shot.
"Well, Carats," the girl spoke, "I think that's my cue to go. It was very nice talking to you and I promise to try and come on here more often. Maybe more alone," she added the last part with a whisper.
"What's wrong with us?" the younger rapper whined, making her chuckle as she waved into the camera, the voices of the two men filling the silence as they also said their goodbyes.
[and that's my cue to go and watch more compilations to continue feeding my delulu self]

Just a Little More
Steve Harrington x fem!reader
Summary: Steve's over Nancy, and there's a girl on his mind. One night out and some flirting might lead to a jealous Steve getting drunk.
This is a repost since the old blog doesn't work anymore. 🥰
Tumblr media
I'm not a party person. I'm definitely not a party person.
The music is too loud, the people are... too many. I don't know how Steve always manages to drag me in these things.
And yet, here I am, once again.
"C'mon, don't give me that face," he tells me as we walk to the house hosting the party. "You need to go out more,"
"I'm fine as I am. Thanks" I complain. "you just insist because you need moral support"
"For what?" He asks, faking innocence.
"You want to see Nancy"
"That's... no, okay? I'm over her. I swear." He says confidently "my eyes are on someone else now"
"Oh yeah?" I ask, with a surprised laugh "and who might that be?"
"I'm sure you already know her" he answers.
"Please don't tell it's Robin" I beg, I couldn't even warn him.
"Nah, don't worry." He says wrapping an arm around my shoulders urging me to walk faster towards the party "you'll find it out... sooner or later"
"Whatever"
I hope he's not gonna have his heart broken again. I hated seeing him after the break up with Nancy.
We've been friends for a little while now. We got closer last year after an alternate dimensional creature attacked me, Nancy, Jonathan and him at Byers' house. He turned out to be not so much of an asshole, he even became my brother's best friend... big surprise. And now we're here.
As we enter the big house we're instantly surrounded by music, people and a strong smell of alcohol.
"Want something to drink?" Steve shouts over the music in my ear.
"No, thanks" I shout back.
"I'll be right back" he tells me.
"I'll go get some air"
He gives me a 'already?' look, nods and goes to the kitchen I suppose.
Yep, I decide I already need some air so I try to find my way to the back.
I walk through the sea of people dancing and chatting at the party as quickly as possible until I successfully get to the back.
Luckily there are a very few people, some are smoking and some are... holding their heads, feeling dizzy probably.
I try to enjoy the moment of peace, my mind wandering about who the girl Steve has a crush on now might be. Especially since he told me I know her.
Could it be Casey from my art class?
Or maybe it's Kelly...
I really can't-
"Hello there"
A voice interrupts my stream of thoughts.
Turning around I find myself face to face with none other than Billy Hargoves himself.
"Uh... Hi" I politely say, turning back around away from him.
I sense him walking beside me, he doesn't speak, though I can feel his eyes on me. The gesture makes me more nervous as seconds go on.
I try to not acknowledge him tok much, hoping he'd get tired and walk back inside, but unfortunately he stays.
Where the hell is Steve when I need him?
"I feel very lucky tonight" he casually say.
"Why's that?" I ask, knowing there's no way to ignore him anymore.
"Because I finally got you on your own and not attached to Harrington's hip" he answers with a grin.
"Yeah... uhm.. he's just getting something to drink. He... he'll be here sooner or later" I nervously laugh, trying to sound as casual as him.
"The later the better" he says softly.
"Uhm..." I think of something to say but nothing comes out.
"You tutor my sister, right? Well.. my step-sister" he asks.
"Yeah,I think. Max, right?"
"That's her. She always talks about you with my father and his girlfriend. She always talks about how nice and gentle you are" he speaks softly, slightly leaning towards me.
"Yeah.. well, that's nice of her..." I say, not looking at him "I only try to make her feel as comfortable as I can"
"And we all appreciate it" he basically whispers in my ear.
I step away, but I tripp into what looks like a vase and almost fall.
Billy's hands quickly catch me, helping me up, but even when I'm up straight again he doesn't let go. His grip isn't tight, I could shrug it off, but I can't seem to anyway.
"Careful there, gorgeous" he winks.
"Sorry... uh... thanks" I finally get out of his grip.
"My pleasure" he says looking down at me. He's still very close to me and as soon as I can catch his eyes falling to my lips, I take a deep breath turning my head to look back inside for Steve.
"Uhm... I think I'll go find Steve... I'll see you around" I say walking past him, but he moves to block my way.
"I'm sure he's fine. Stop worrying about him, for once... and" he moves his hand to rub, so slightly, my arm. "And start to worry about yourself... maybe we-"
He's cut off by Steve's voice.
"There you are!"
He's drunk... already?
"Ah! King Steve finally joined us!" Billy declare sarcastically.
"Are you drunk already?" I ask.
"Me? I could never..." he walks towards us, but almost fall as he nears.
"Yeah... sure" I say unconvinced.
"Damn... don't you look stunning..." he hiccups.
"Yeah. Okay. We're going." I state.
"No no no no no no" Steve blurts out. "You were having fun with him. Keep... keep going"
Oh god...
"C'mon Steve." I try to grab him to make him walk, but he yank himself away, falling to the ground.
"Don't worry, I'm okay" he quickly blurts out.
I let out a bug frustrated sigh, thinking about how to bring him home.
"Need a help taking his ass home?" Billy suddenly asks.
"I... you don't" I start.
"It's no trouble, sweetheart" he grins. "C'mon"
He grabs Steve's arm and lifts him up, helping him walk all the way to Billy's car.
"Open the door" he tells me and I rush to open the backseat door so Billy can make Steve lay there.
Then Billy and I get in as well and he starts to drive.
------
"Thanks, Billy" I say as Billy help Steve sit on the couch in Steve's house.
"No problem, sweetheart" he smirk looking back at me. "Take care, King Steve" he adds sarcastically
I walk him to the door.
"You know...how about you and I finish what we started earlier?" He suggests.
"Uh?"
"About you starting to worry about yourself instead of him." He says, moving to grab my hand.
"Uhm... I.. I'm sorry..." I carefully move my hand out of his grip, glancing quickly at Steve on the couch "I better check on him"
"As you wish" He raises both hands in surrender, but surprisingly he smiles too. "If you ever change your mind, give me a call, sweetheart"
When Billy walks back to his car I walk back to Steve.
"Let's get you to bed, uh?" I say and he mutter something I can't catch.
I help him upstairs and to his bed.
"Oh thanks" he says like he just realised what's happening.
"No problem, Steve" I say as I help him take his shoes off.
"I ruined your night" he mutters.
"What?" I'm confused.
"You seemed reeeeeally comfortable with Hargoves tonight" he blurts out.
"What are you talking about?"
"I say you two talking.. and he was preeeeeetty close" he explains.
"We were talking about Max, his sister. I tutor her"
Why do I need to explain myself? And why does he sounds... jealous?
"He was too close" he states and he finally crawls to lay under the covers of his bed.
"Yeah. I guess." I say with a say and heading downstairs to grab him a glass of water.
"Where are you going?" He asks.
"To grab some water"
"You coming back... right?" He seems.. anxious. Why?
"Sure"
I walk downstairs to finally grab a glass and quickly go back to Steve only to see him talking his shirt off, to sleep, the sight blocks me.
It happened before... I already saw him taking his shirt off, for any sort of reasons.. well.. not all possible reasons. But now... now feels different. Why?
Fuck.
I take a deep breath and walk back in his bedroom.
"There you go" I hand him the glass and sit on the bed.
"Thank you" he says and manages to drink the whole glass.
"You're welcome"
We stay in a comfortable silence for a little while, Steve layed down taking deep breath and me sitting on his bed playing with my fingers.
"You feeling okay?" I suddenly ask and he hums nodding.
"Good. You need anything I'll be downstairs" I tell him with a smile and get up.
"What? You're not sleeping here?" He gestures to the other side of the bed.
"You want me to sleep there?" I chuckle.
I always sleep on his couch when sometimes it's too late to walk home... never in his bed.. with him.
"Yeah." He says as a matter of fact.
"I... o-okay" I say. "I.. I just don't have anything to wear to bed"
My plan was to take off my trousers and shirt and rely on the covers... I obviously can't if sleeping in his bed.
"Just grab something of mine. I don't mind.. quite the opposite actually" he says simply.
"What?" I chuckle surprised.
"Well.. seeing the girl I have my eyes on in my clothes... God..." he says, without thinking probably.
What...
"Uh?"
"How you have realised I'll never understand" he giggles.
Okay.. he's drunk.
"Sure" I say unconvinced.
I grab one of his shirts and a pair of pj's pants and get changed in the bathroom.
As I walk back in his room he's still laying down, but he uncovered the other side of his bed for me to get in.
"Hey!" He exclaims.
"What?" I ask.
"I haven't seen you!" He complains.
"You're basically sleeping, Stevie. You can't keep your eyes open." I tell him. "Go to sleep"
"You don't believe me" he states.
"About what?"
"You being the girl... I.. like" he hiccups.
Is it true?
"You're drunk, Steve. Your just-"
"No, no, no, no" he says holding his finger to my lips, to stop me from keep speaking. "You're that girl. You. You. Yooou"
So... my crush isn't one-sided as I always thought..
"Stevie..."
"Kiss me?"
"Uh?" I ask taken aback.
"Please?" He says getting closer. Cuddling against me.
"How about this... you sleep and tomorrow morning, if you still feel like this, I'll kiss you." I tell him.
"And you'll believe me?" He asks looking at me with puppy eyes.
"Yes Steve. I'll believe you" I say, thankful for the darkness hiding my flustered face.
"Great" he says cuddling more against me.
"Goodnight Steve"
" 'Night... love"
The thing is... I do believe him. I just want him to suffer a little more.

Coming down from a high was oftentimes the best moment you would ever share with your wolves, because they knew just how to take care of and pamper their girl.

Tumblr media
Ecstasy was still flowing like the waves of the ocean lapping at the sand of a beach through your body, and you couldn’t move – limbs far too heavy and ladened down with the current. Your mind was floating on cloud nine, high above your body and no longer interested in aiding you in your predicament. 
“Kisa,” James called, his voice too far away – high above the waves that held you captive. “Darling–where’s our kotenok gone?”
A shuffle of feet sounded by the edge of the bed, and you blinked. “She’s not comin’ round, babe,” Bucky said. “She’s there.”
“Right,” James sighed. You blinked again, and when you opened your eyes, James was in your face, a soft smile on his lips. “Hello, kotenok,” he whispered, his hand tucking some hair behind your ear. “We are going to clean you up–daddy will hold you in the bath, how does that sound?”
You stared at his face, uncomprehending of his words, but you felt safe – you tried to move your hand to grab hold of his, or maybe his jaw, just to touch him. Your lips quivered stiffly into a smile, and you sighed heavily through your nose when your hand wouldn’t move. 
“What is it? What is wrong?” James asked, his brow furrowing. His gaze drifted down your body until it landed on your splayed hand, your fingers twitching with your futile efforts. “Ah.” James’ fingertips met yours, then he covered the top of your hand with his palm and interlaced his fingers with your own – warm flesh to cold, unyielding metal. “Is that it, darling?”
“Mm,” you hummed, still staring at him. The happy smile on his lips warmed your heart.
James slowly turned to Bucky who loomed over his shoulder, his expression curious. “Start a bath,” James said, and Bucky nodded in agreement. “She will sit with you while I tend to her, yes?”
“Yep,” Bucky replied. He placed a kiss on the back of James’ head, turned towards the ensuite, and turned the light on. 
Your gaze flickered to James’ mouth and he cooed quietly, “Such a good girl for us, Kisa–we’re very proud of you. Can you tell me how you’re feeling?”
“Floaty,” you mumbled and you gripped his fingers a little tighter. “Tired, sir.”
“I know, darling,” James soothed. He shuffled closer on his knees and rested his forehead on yours so his breath fanned over your lips. “Daddy and I will clean you up, and then you can rest. We put you through it, and you were perfect, kotenok.”
You giggled quietly, and James grinned. “There’s our girl. Now, come, let’s get you to your feet.”
It took several moments, but you managed to get to your feet, leaning heavily on James – his arm anchored around your waist while he held your arm around his back. The position allowed you the comfort of resting your lolling head on his shoulder. 
Bucky appeared in the doorway of the ensuite, chest bare and clad only in briefs, and held out his arms. “That’s it, sweetheart,” he praised, “I’ll take her, you go get the poor thing some sugar.” There was a light laugh in his voice, and you smiled, giggling once more. “Yeah, ‘m talkin’ ‘bout you, doll.”
“Daddy,” you whined quietly, reaching out for Bucky. “Stop it.”
“Never,” he replied, and he brought you to his chest, placing a kiss on your temple. When he spoke next, his voice carried over to James who stood in the doorway. “I’ve got her, babe.”
The warmth from Bucky’s body made you shuffle closer – trying desperately to leech off of it, and Bucky chuckled as he led you to the bath. “Aw, doll, c’mere,” he soothed, rubbing your back. “You alright, sweetheart?”
You nodded against his chest, burrowing closer. 
“Jus’ wanna be close to daddy, huh?”
“Mhm,” you mumbled, “warm.”
Bucky gently pulled away from your body, and he looked you up and down. “I know. We’ll get you real warm in a minute, doll–hold on to the rail for me, and then we can hop in.”
The cold metal of the railing shocked your system – nothing like James’ hand had been – and you let out a sharp breath, watching Bucky as he stripped himself of his briefs to stand naked at the side of the tub. He lifted one leg in, then the other, and beckoned you closer. You hesitantly took a step closer on wobbly knees, and he reached both hands out. “I gotchu, sweetheart. Good girl”
A moment later, Bucky was sitting in the tub with you between his legs, cradling you lovingly to his chest. He rubbed up and down your left arm and right thigh, the movements soothing. There was a knock on the ensuite door, and you blinked. “Look at you both,” James said, “you are cute.”
“Cute, my ass,” Bucky grumbled.
“You would be correct,” James retorted, and Bucky’s chest shook as he laughed. You watched from the corner of your eye as James kneeled onto the tiled floor, a bowl in his hand and a glass of water in the other. “I brought chocolate, darling. And fruit.”
The mention of sugar had you perking up, and you blinked as you looked around at him properly. “Thank you,” you breathed. James shuffled closer and offered you a cut up strawberry, which you took between your teeth and chewed slowly. 
“You did so well, doll,” Bucky praised quietly, and James nodded. “Such a good girl, huh?”
You preened under the praise and sidled closer, shying away from James’ offering of chocolate. “None of that, darling–you need the sugar,” James encouraged, and you opened your mouth so he could place it on your tongue. “Khoroshaya devochka, kotenok.”
“Do you think we could clean you up a bit, sweetheart?” Bucky asked quietly, his fingers tracing up and down your back. “You can have more sugar in a minute.”
“‘M’kay,” you mumbled.
Bucky kissed your temple, and you smiled. “Good girl. Sit up for me.”
The two of them ran washcloths lathered in soap up and down your body, mindful to be gentle over your breasts and between your thighs – soothing you all the while. 
“Tha’s it, doll,” Bucky cooed as his hand rubbed down your back. 
James had taken to your thighs, the soapy washcloth soft and ticklish over the inner side of them. “You will feel better soon, darling. We will get you back into bed and warm. Did you want us to lay with you–cuddle you?”
“Yes, please,” you replied sleepily, fighting against the urge to yawn. “Wan’ that.”
“Sounds perfect to me,” Bucky agreed, and the two of them finished cleaning you up with such gentleness your heart soared. 
James helped you stand from the tub, and Bucky got out from behind you, drying himself off before he towelled you dry. As you moved to hold on to Bucky’s shoulders, James ducked from the room and tidied the bed, throwing another blanket over the comforter. 
“You ready for bed, baby?” Bucky whispered, hanging the now damp towel on the rack.
“Yeah,” you sighed, rubbing your eyes. 
Bucky smiled, and pulled you close before guiding you back to the bed where James was knelt, arms outstretched so he could pull you onto the plush mattress. “Lay down–good girl,” he praised. 
The mattress dipped as Bucky sidled up behind you, his chest to your back, and James ran his hand over your hair, petting it slowly and soothingly. 
“Get some sleep, sweetheart,” Bucky whispered, kissing your neck softly. “We’re here–we’ve got you.”
You sighed and relaxed further into their embrace, content to let sleep wash over you at last.

Steddie week. Day 6: True / Misunderstandings. 1k words. Ao3 link.
@steddie-week
Inspired/based on this tiktok.
~
“Are the small crispy fries your favorite?” Eddie asks once they start eating. They’re sitting on the floor by the coffee table. Their favorite take out’s making an appearance once again.
“What?” Steve turns to Eddie, before taking a bite out of his burger.
“Well, I’ve noticed you gravitate towards those. Are they your favorite?” Oh, Steve does do that. That’s not why, but he can see why Eddie would think so.
They usually share a plate of fries, mirroring what they did during their first date. It sort of became a thing to keep doing it. Steve thought it was cute.
He shakes his head. “No, not at all.”
Eddie seems surprised by this. “Then why do you only eat those?”
“Oh. I just noticed you tend to go for the long soggy fries. So I eat the crispy ones for you.” Steve easily explains.
Eddie lets out a small laugh. “Steve.”
“Yeah?” Steve stops eating. Is it weird that he does that? “What’s funny?”
“The crispy fries are actually my favorite.” Eddie rests his chin on his hand, leaning on the table. He looks extremely amused by this.
“Huh? But you never… really?” Steve is so incredibly confused.
“I just start with eating the soggy ones to leave my favorites for the end.” Well, that’s just something Steve never thought of doing himself.
“Why would you do that if we’ve been sharing?”
“It was just a habit, I guess.” Eddie shrugs. “And then well, I thought you liked the crispy ones too so I just kept eating the soggy ones, so you could enjoy them.” He says. Like that’s not the most adorable, considerate and thoughtful thing someone has done for him. It’s something so small, but it feels so big.
“But the soggy ones are actually my favorite!” Steve exclaims. He grabs Eddie’s shoulders and gently shakes him.
The only thing Eddie does is just burst out laughing. He’s laughing so hard he falls down on his back. Steve can’t help it, he gives in to the laughter too. This is so ridiculous, and it could’ve been completely avoided!
“You’re telling me,” Eddie starts once he seems to have started to calm down. Still on the floor, on his back. “We’ve both been eating our least favorite fry.”
Steve nods. “Yep.”
“For months!”
“Months.” Steve confirms.
“Just because we thought the other liked our favorite kinda fry.” Eddie takes a deep breath, he’s calmed down completely now.
“We really thought.” Steve shakes his head, a disappointing look on his face.
“When we could’ve been eating our favorite kinda fry.” A pause. “For months!” He yells.
“I mean… it’s kinda on us for never asking?” Steve rationalizes. They just assumed. And for the looks of it, they didn’t even mind making that teeny tiny fry sacrifice for each other.
“That’s true.” Eddie sits back up, crisscross in front of Steve. “How long were you gonna keep doing that?”
“Doing what? Eating my least favorite fries so you could have what I thought were your favorites?” Steve thinks he could keep doing that for the rest of his life. Even if him and Eddie weren’t together anymore. He’ll always want Eddie in his life, so he’d keep doing that. Always.
Eddie nods. “I mean, at some point you would’ve gotten tired of it, right?”
“No.”
“No?” Eddie raises a skeptical eyebrow.
“For you, every time we had fries; I would’ve kept doing it.” Steve is so very much aware how sincere his voice sounds. It shouldn’t feel like a confession, but it sort of does.
Eddie looks for any trace of hesitation on his face, or signs that he’s just joking. He’s glad he doesn’t find any, because there aren’t any.
Eddie clutches his chest where his heart would be, then he puts his hand on his forehead as if he was swooning. The drama queen falls back on the floor again. Steve rolls his eyes, he’s pretty much used to his antics at this point.
“Oh dear! Steve! Steve Harrington would make such sacrifice? For me? Little old me?” Eddie’s eyes are closed. Maybe because there’s a danger of breaking character if he looks at Steve directly. “Give up his favorite fries? No one possesses this amount of selflessness.”
“You were literally doing the same thing.” Steve tries to remind him.
Eddie ignores him in favor of continuing his dramatic monologue. “Heavens. It must be true love.” Eddie sighs. He opens his eyes abruptly, panicked. “I mean. Uh- um.”
Eddie sits up so fast, Steve worries if he’s dizzy because of the sudden movement. He doesn’t look dizzy, just mortified. Which he shouldn’t be, because for a while Steve has noticed that somewhere along the first time he and Eddie properly interacted and their time dating, he’s probably fallen in love.
Who is he kidding? He absolutely loves this fucking dork. This dork who couldn’t control himself and had to declare his love during a dramatic monologue about fries. Fries.
Steve takes Eddie’s hands in his. Gentle and comforting. “Eds, baby. Relax.” He gives his hands a squeeze.
His curls bounce as he nods, trying to compose himself. He evens his labored breaths.
“It is.” Steve says. Eddie tilts his head up, just enough to look him in the eyes.
“What is?”
“Love. It’s true love.” Steve rests their foreheads together. “No matter the thing, how small, or how big it is. I would do anything for you, Eddie.”
The smile Eddie gives him is blinding.
“I love you, Steve.” Eddie kisses his nose. Makes him giggle.
“I love you, too, Eddie.”
This kiss feels different than the rest. Not because of how gentle, slow and soft it is. But because it’s the first kiss after they’ve expressed their love. It feels charged with truth, finally out. And it feels fantastic.
When they part they cannot help the dopey grins that are plastered over both their faces. Steve feels giddy, not because of what they just said. He’s just also excited. He thinks that even if they have lots to figure out, their future has never looked so bright.
“I think our food’s cold now.” Steve kisses his cheek.
Eddie just throws his head back in laughter.

Season 1 Steve meets season 4 steve
And boy does he have questions
This is weird. Steve was almost 100% sure he fell asleep at Eddie's last night. They'd gone to a bar with Robin and Nancy and he had crashed with Eddie which he'd done almost every night these days. So how did he end up in his room at his parents house?
He can hear someone downstairs, so maybe Steve had gotten confused and they'd gone to Steve's? Steve didn't think he'd been that drunk to forget that. Maybe Eddie was making him breakfast? That was sweet of him, with a smile he got out of bed and trudged downstairs to the kitchen.
"What the fuck!"
Steve had barely rubbed the sleep from his eyes before his eardrums were assaulted by a very familiar voice. Wait a minute, he can't possibly be hearing the voice.
He looks up and there in the kitchen, looking very alarmed and holding a knife, is him, at 16 years old.
"I shouldn't even be surprised at this point," Steve's grumbles as he moves past a very confused young Steve and pours himself some coffee.
"Who the fuck are you?"
"C'mon Steve you haven't had all those concussions yet, can't you recognise this pretty face?"
"You're me?"
"The one and only!"
"But but how!?"
Steve sighs, "Well what's today's date?"
"December 2nd 1983."
"Oh good so you've seen the crazy shit, that'll make this easier. Look stuff gets worse, a lot worse before it gets better, and either this is a brain bleed from all my concussions or another weird Upside Down thing, hell maybe you're Vecna back from the dead I don't know, Dustin probably would know,"
"Who's Dustin? Who's Vecna? You mean there's more of those fucking monsters around? Am I safe? Is Nance safe?"
"Oh right you're still with Nancy. Yeah yeah she's safe don't worry, well I assume her and Robin got home safe. Dustin is your little brother, no not biologically thank god our parents don't need more kids to fuck up, but he's super smart, a brat but you're gonna love him. Vecna is like a super creepy dude that's kinda causing everything but he should be dead, I think, probably."
"I break up with Nancy?"
"That's what you take from that? Look Nancy breaks up with you, it's rough, it's going to fuck you up for awhile but you'll be ok, just stop being bullshit ok? Like seriously drop the King Steve stuff it's so tiring."
"Ok um fuck, FUCK. What are you even wearing dude? Is this really what I become?"
Steve looks down at what he'd slept in last night, ah that's going to be a bit rough to take in.
"So um, Steve, kiddo, me.... Do you know Eddie Munson?"
"That freak senior yeah?"
"Well. This is his shirt."
Young Steve's eyes widen, "Why are you wearing Munson's shirt."
"Ok so you know those times you've looked at the guys in the locker room, turns out that's not what straight guys generally do..."
"What the fuck do you mean! I'm not gay dude!"
"I know that. You're bisexual, don't worry there's tears but Robin explains everything. Oh Robin you're going to love her, she's your best friend, an actual best friend this time."
"So what I'm dating Eddie the Freak?"
"Yep, and let me te you he lives up to that name, fucks you real nice,"
"I LET HIM FUCK ME!?"
"Total bottom, but don't worry you'll have all these revaluations in time."
Young Steve looks like he's going through the five stages of grief all at once.
"Look all this is very tiring for me, so I'm going to go back to bed, if you're not here when I wake up, just remember what I said alright?"
Young Steve nods slightly and Steve takes this as enough before heading back up to his room. He lays down and closes his eyes before waking up to a much better sight.
"Hey sweetheart, get a good sleep?"
"I had the weirdest dream..."

Can I request a Jeonghan fic maybe with a little bit of angst
We know that he is like a mom to others but he never goes for others for comfort but cries for himself without others noticing so they thinks he is fine but one day he faints during a live so the members are worried or something like that
I'm back everyone!!
Sickie: Jeonghan
Caretaker: seventeen
~slight emeto tw~
I had two Jeonghan fics that were similar enough that I combined them
Jeonghan had been feverish for a few days at this point, but no one else knew, and he fully intended to keep it that way.
He was supposed to film with the rest of the group today, but right now he didn't even want to get out of bed. He was tired, dizzy, shaky, and weak. Anytime he tried to stand up he lost his balance and was forced to sit back down.
As he sat on the edge of his bed, Seungcheol walked past, "Hey Han, are you alright?" The oldest of the group nodded, "just tired" he said, fighting to keep his voice steady, he was dizzy, and his voice had a light tremble to it. Seungcheol raised his eyebrow slightly, "are you sure you're okay?"
"yeah, I'll be down to breakfast in a minute" He assured the leader, he stood up slowly, swaying slightly, but catching himself on his bedside table, he caught his breath and walked slowly, he was clammy, and shaking, his head was spinning and pounding, he swallowed a gag he rubbed his temples. He slowly moved towards his door, walking slowly, hoping to keep himself steady.
As he walked downstairs, he had to hold himself steady against the wall, "hyung, are you alright?" Jeonghan heard Chan's voice. "Yep, just got a little dizzy."
"that's not good. Are you sure you're okay?"
"yeah, just think I'm a little sleepy. Jeonghan said simply. He let go of the wall in an attempt to prove his point, and he walked downstairs as fast as he could go. Trying not to sway, but he was definitely not doing well.
He arrived at the table and sat down, trying not to show he wasn't losing his balance. "jeonghan... Are you okay" Jeonghan was getting sick of answering the same question over and over again. So with the entire group together, he looked at each of them, "yes, I'm okay, I appreciate your concern, but I'm just a little tired, nothing more" he assured them. They seemed to believe him, Jeonghan was glad, he didn't want his members worrying about him.
A while later the group arrived at the filming location, "hey everyone, I'll be right back I need to use the bathroom" Jeonghan said, the combination of the fever, headache, and the swaying of the car had made him nauseous and he was hurrying to find a bathroom before he threw up in front of everyone. He ducked into a one stall bathroom and gagged, his light breakfast spilled between his lips, he coughed and wiped around his mouth with a tissue, he felt awful. He splashed cold water on his face and went back to find his bandmates.
While under the hot filming lights he felt like he was getting cooked, he was dizzier by the second and his thoughts were fuzzy. As he stood there he saw black dots dance in his vision, he swayed on the spot.
Seungkwan was standing closest to Jeonghan when the eldest made a soft sound, between a cry and. a whimper. After the soft sound, the eldest dropped to the ground without hesitation or warning. Seungkwan and Joshua attempted to catch Jeonghan, but were only able to slow him down so he didn't hit the floor full force.
Once he was laying on the floor a staff member brought a blanket, which was instead used as a pillow, Seungcheol was quick to notice the high fever Jeonghan was sporting. After what felt like a very long time, Jeonghan's eyes fluttered open, once he noticed he was surrounded by his bandmates, he tried to quickly sit up, but ended up swaying and ended up falling backwards, much to his dismay, the maknae was the one to catch him, bringing a wave of embarrassment to the eldest. "I'm sorry guys" his voice was weak and shaking, "it's okay. You didn't do anything wrong." The others assured him, Jeonghan was dizzy and anf nauseous, "can you guys help me" he finally asked, the sick feeling overwhelming his pride.
The others helped him into a sitting position and helped bring his to standing next, they then basically carried him to the car. They drove him home, where they helped him to bed, "I'm tired" he said softly, "you can sleep" Seungcheol assured him, "just rest, you've earned it. We have everything handled here"

Who's this?
Guess what? @daydreamer36 and I Were talking the other day and though sheer brainpower we conceived an amazing writing idea. Pleas enjoy!
Conk-Out was absolutely exhausted. He had spent all night tossing and turning but only managed around 30 minutes of sleep. Right now, he was perched in the shaded boughs of a maple tree with his brow furrowed, trying desperately to fall asleep. The others were playing some sort of game, he didn't know what, he hadn't opened his eyes in a while. Occasionally he would hear some snippet of conversation, 'Have at ye!', 'En garde!', 'Great heavens!', so he assumed they were duelling. He forced open one heavy eyelid. Yep, they were sword fighting with sticks and branches. Sighing, he let his eye drop. He really did hate his irregular schedule, he could never properly play with his friends! It sucked! It wouldn't be so bad if he just slept all the time, it was not being able to sleep that was the annoying part. He could just never... get a proper...
'ZZZzzzz...'
'Conk?'
Suddenly Conk was awake and tense. He recognised that voice. The others had stopped mid-clash to look 'round at the source of the noise. Dandy pointed,
'What the hell is that?'
It looked like a large lilac bush that was wandering slowly towards them. Conk leapt from the high branch he was perched on and landed gracefully behind his friends.
'Conk what-' Dandy was interrupted when he roughly shoved past them with a muttered 'Sorry' and began running towards the bush.
'Conky!'
Noticing him, the bush sped up, waddling towards them with its arms outstretched. ...Wait, arms? Conk reached the bush and bent over slightly to embrace it while it wrapped its arms around his legs.
'Uhhh, has Conk gone insane?' 'Yeah, why's he hugging a bush?' 'Maybe he's finally gone clinically insane from sleep deprivation!' '*Sigh* I'll get the tranq' gun.' A minute later he turned around and walked back to the group with the bush in tow. As they got closer Dandy noticed something,
'Wait, that's a person!'
The others squinted at the strange thing; Dandy was right! The bush has a face, it's smiling and holding Conk's hand. He meanwhile looks drained, practically dead on his feet. As they get closer, the more distinguishing features of the smaller figure come into focus; A yellow beak, two small faded booties and a deep purple scarf that's too big for it, just like the one Conk pins his charm to. Finally, conk reaches them and sighs a very relieved sigh. 'Hi guys.'
Dandy begins whooping appreciatively. 'Well well well! Didn't know you had a girlfriend Conk! So, how'd you two meet?' Eli says, crossing his arms and smirking at him. '…Eli, that's not-' 'Oh come on Mana, it's obvious! The signs are all there: Her yelling his name, him running up to meet her, her wearing his clothes, that hug! Those are telltale signs of puppy love. No offence Munch.' 'None taken.' 'But Eli, she's not-' 'They're-'
'Guys, thanks, but I'll deal with it.' Conk turns to face Eli. 'Eli, I'm sorry, but she's not my girlfriend.'
Leah interjects, 'But then what- Ohhh!' She then eyes the girl nervously and begins fiddling with her camera.
Eli looks from her to Conk and frowns, but it is swiftly replaced by a look that screams 'yeah, right!' 'Conkerel, dude, there's nothing to be ashamed about, it's great that you're the first of us to get a date! But the problem is you being open with us, we gotta communicate more. We can start by you just admitting-' Conk holds his hand up for silence, 'Eli, for the last time, she's not my girlfriend,' 'Dude,-' 'Because she's my sister.' 'W-what?'
'She's my little sister. Say hi Cham.' 'Hello!'
I am so sorry, I know I've been working on this for a few days, but it's like midnight here, I have to travel in the morning and my eyes are so tired. Part two coming hopefully tomorrow!

“I’d Die for You.”
Mountain x Male Reader
Notes: You’d do anything for him, even if it meant leaving your whole life behind just to be with him. (3270 wc)
Warnings: Mentions of death, some vague gore if you could call it that?, blood mentions, nothing too saucy :)
read below the cut ml <3
The ministry was always a nice place to be in. Yeah, it was sometimes chaotic with all the ghouls running around, but it had its peaceful places. Like the library, your favorite place. It smelled of old books and pinewood, so comforting to your constantly racing mind. You’d grown up there, being a son of sin, but not just any son of sin. You were the priest's oldest son, meaning you had the most responsibility out of all. You were put in charge of almost everything -scheduling tours, guiding new siblings of sin, and shit ton of paperwork- your father pushing you as far as he could to make sure you’d be a good fit for the next priest. If you were being honest, you didn’t want the role at all. 
You found the job to be extremely boring. You despised the thought of sitting around in a cold office, doing nothing all day. You admired the ghoul’s lifestyle, you wished you could do what they did. They were free and got to have fun, while you were stuck in your boring and stressful lifestyle. The ghouls made sure you felt appreciated through it all though, you being the main reason they got to do what they did best. Sneaking you out of your room at night, being extremely careful not to be caught. They’d drag you to the ghouls wing, sitting you down on one of the many couches in the common room. They’d do whatever you wanted to. Want to watch a movie and relax? They’d have a list of movies and plenty of blankets ready. They adored you, but one particular ghoul always stuck out to you.
Mountain. He’d sneak into the library, going to your normal spot to check in on you. He knew that you were constantly stressed out, so he’d always find a way to make you feel better. Offering to help with the workload everyone dropped onto you, or to get you something to snack on while you worked. He took care of you. If you denied everything he offered, he’d sit with you until you were done. It didn’t matter if it was in the middle of the night, he would be right by your side. If he sensed you getting worked up or frustrated, he’d reassure you while rubbing your shoulders. Whispering sweet nothings into your ear, voice like honey soothing you almost instantly. 
You found yourself with a crush on the towering ghoul, getting goosebumps from everything he did. His low silvery voice bounced around in your head like a record on repeat. The gentle touch of his calloused palms sending shivers down your spine. The way he slowly blinked while watching you work, putting you in a trance. His beautiful long brown hair, loosely pulled into a knot made you stare. The ghoul had you wrapped around his finger without even trying, and he loved it. He loved the way you’d react when he lightly teased you. He found humans very interesting, and you were his test subject. 
“You’re still working, Love?” The sudden voice pulled you out of the book you had your nose stuck in. You looked up, spotting Mountain holding what you assumed to be a cup of tea. You nodded, rubbing your tired eyes. “I have to finish this stupid book before sunrise. My father is supposed to be testing me on it tomorrow and I can’t fail.” He hummed, making his way to sit in the chair beside you. “Why do you put up with all of this,” he spoke, a hand gesturing to the open book in front of you. You scoffed and leaned back into your chair. “It’s the only way I stay sheltered. If my father gets mad.. Well you know what’ll happen.” He gave a quiet “yep” before bringing his mug up to his lips.
“Did you need anything? I mean it’s like, three in the morning Mount.” His lips curled up into a small smile. “I came to check on you, and hopefully spend some time with you. You’ve been cooped up in here for a week now, we haven’t been able to get to you at all.” The small smile he wore slowly turned into a frown. You sighed, closing the book and pushing it aside. “I know, I’m sorry. I’ve been so caught up with everything for you guy’s next tour, it’s just taken up the little free time I've had.” He placed a hand on the side of your face, making you look at him. “There’s no need to apologize, we know you’re busy. We just wish we could help you out..”
You nodded, somewhat understanding what he said. “As soon as I’m done with this, I’ll find a way to spend time with you all..” You trailed off, a wave of exhaustion flooding over you resulting in a yawn. “How long has it been since the last time you slept, Love?” His voice was coated with worry. You thought to yourself for a moment. “I’ve been here since nine, but I woke up around five yesterday.” His eyes widened. “This won’t do, you need to sleep.” You shook your head, worried thoughts flooding your mind. “No, no. I need to finish this. I have a few pages left of this book and then I have to find the booth for the upcoming tour- I can’t Mountain.” He frowned, sitting down his tea. “Well then, I’ll help you. I can find the booth while you finish your book.”
He pulled away, taking out his phone. “Mountain- no- I won’t let you do my work. It’s not your job. I can’t, you can’t.” He shushed you. “And why not? You deserve to rest. Just tell me what to do.” You groaned, unable to deny his convincing tone. “Fine. You know the website, just tell me if you find a nice one in the price range.” You picked up your book as he flashed a fang filled smile in your direction. 
A few minutes passed and you finally finished, closing the book and putting it aside. You looked over to the ghoul beside you, his eyes fixated on his phone screen. You smiled slightly and leaned into his side. “Any luck so far?” He looked down at you and nodded. “Yeah! I found a really nice booth that would be perfect. I’m talking to the owner right now to see if it's open.” He tucked his phone away into his pocket, wrapping an arm around you. “You’ve done a lot for us, and we're so lucky to have you, but if you don’t get enough sleep we won’t have an amazing manager anymore.” Your face flushed from the sudden praise. You quickly pushed that aside and sighed. “You’re right. I guess I could rest while we’re waiting for an answer..”
You stood, grabbing the book to put it away. You felt a hand around your wrist, almost making you fall backwards. You regained your ground and turned to Mountain who was now standing. “If you thought you were gonna sleep by yourself, you’re sadly mistaken.” You tilted your head in confusion. Before you could speak, he picked you up and threw you over his shoulder. “W-Wait, Mountain!” You tried to intervene, but he wasn’t having any of it. He ignored your pleads and quickly made his way out of the library.
When he opened the door, you realized where he was taking you. “Mount, I’m not allowed in here!” He continued walking without saying a word. When you reached the ghouls wing common room, you spotted a familiar fire ghoul. “Mountain? What are you doing?” Dew’s voice came from one of the couches. “Bed time.” Was the only thing he said, not stopping his long strides down the hall. Before you knew it, you were already in his room. He gently sat you down on his bed before crawling in to lay next to you. His arms wrapped around you, pulling you closer to him. He pulled up the thick blanket that sat on his bed, making sure the two of you were covered. You felt his tail slither around your ankle, securing you in his tight hold.
You relaxed in his arms, realizing you weren’t getting out of the situation no matter what. He nuzzled his nose into your hair, deeply inhaling your scent. You sighed in relief, your mind finally clear after hours of constant worries. That's when you heard it. Those three little words that made you weak slipped out from between his lips. You sat up, looking him in the eyes. “What did you say?” He smiled and placed his hands on the sides of your face, cupping your cheeks gently. “I love you.” Your breath hitched, becoming shaky. “Don’t joke around, Mountain.” His eyes softened. “I’m not joking. I would never joke about something like that, Love.” You shook your head, pulling away.
“You can’t, we can’t. It’s strictly forbidden.” He pulled you back towards him, his hands firm on your waist. “We can figure it out, my love. I’ll figure it out, you don’t need to worry about anything. For now, you just need to sleep.” He pulled you back down, your head resting on his chest. A soft purr rose from his chest, luring you into a deep sleep.
The feeling of fingers threading through your hair woke you from your sleep. You slowly opened your eyes to see Mountain looking at his phone, a smile etched onto his lips. He looked down at you, eyes lighting up. “Good morning, my love. Did you sleep well?” You nodded sitting up, rubbing your eyes. “The booth owner replied-” He was cut off by a gasp escaping your lips. “Shit- I still have to get the fee’s together and call the buses-” He shushed you, shaking his head. “Relax, I took care of it. I submitted the total fees and called the tour buses. The date is set a week from now.” 
You just stared at him in disbelief. He laughed, putting his phone aside. Your face flushed a deep red as he opened up his arms. You accepted his embrace, wrapping your arms around his torso. “I wish I could come with you guys, but with the rules of the ministry it’s impossible.” He nodded, placing his hand on your head. “I know, but you’re the next priest. They need you here.” You scoffed, arms tightening around him. “The only thing they need me for is to do their work. Hell, I don’t even want to be a priest. I’ve always wanted to be in a band, kind’ve like you guys.” 
“I wish you could join us as well, I wish there was a way around this.” An idea popped into your head, not a good one, but it could work. “I have an idea that you, or really anyone, won’t like.” His head tilted to the side, obviously curious. “The only way I could escape the grip of the ministry, and my father, would be to die and be summoned back as a ghoul. It’s horrible, I know, but it would work. Just think about it.” His eyes widened in shock. “My love, dying and becoming a ghoul is a very painful process. Trust me, it's something you don’t want to ever experience.” 
He stopped, taking in a deep breath. “If you went through with this, you’d be giving up everything you know as a human. Everything will be different. The way you see and feel the world will change. Are you sure this is something you’d leave everything behind for?” You nodded, looking him in the eyes. “There’s nothing left for me as a human except stress and work. As a ghoul, I’d have everything. Freedom, the band, and you. I’d have you, Mountain. I’d die for you.” His face flushed as he nodded, giving you a small smile. “If that is what you wish, then I will help you as much as I possibly can.”
He leaned back into the pillows on his bed, gently stroking your head. “So how are you planning on doing this, dear?” You gave him a not so innocent smile. “I have to talk to Papa before anything is set in place. If he agrees, then we’ll be set. You’ll have to do some pretty convincing acting though.” He hummed, fully interested now. “Just know, I should be gone the night before you guys return from tour so that gives me about two weeks to do it. The clergy will send a message about what happened to me, but for now I’m going to keep that to myself. I don’t need you worrying about me while you’re on tour.” You reached a hand up to cup his cheek. He leaned into your touch, closing his eyes. 
“I’m always worried about you. There’s never a second when I’m not, love.” Blood rushed to your face, your cheeks turning bright red. You removed your hand from his face and covered your own. He opened his eyes and noticed this. He ran a teasing hand up your back, making you shiver. “I’ve got to say, you’re very easy to fluster. It’s quite cute.” You dug your head into his side, hiding the embarrassing look plastered across your face. He laughed and pulled you closer, placing a gentle kiss on your forehead. “You need to get going, don’t you have a test?” You quickly sat up, nodding. He escorted you out of the ghouls wing, stopping at the door.
“I’ll meet you in the library later, until then love.” He leaned down, placing a kiss on your cheek. He gave you a small smile before shutting the door. When he turned around he found all of the ghouls staring at him. “When were you gonna tell us the two of you were dating?” He shook his head, dismissing the multi ghouls' words. “Swiss- were not dating.. Yet.” A collection of laughs rose from a few ghouls, making Mountain's cheeks flush a bit. “Come on, tell us everything.” Cirrus invited him over, which he gladly accepted.
Over the next week the two of you met in the library, discussing the plan further every day. A day before they left for the week-long tour, you discussed everything with Copia. He was very against it at first, but after hearing the full plan he eventually agreed. He always knew about your dreams and was happy to help. It was the fifth day of their tour, the day you’d see your demise. You sent one final text as a human to Mountain, a simple “I love you.” You put your valuable belongings in his dresser drawer, ready for when you returned. You smiled to yourself as you walked to your fathers office, prepared on what you were about to do.
You knocked twice, hearing a stern and toneless voice inviting you in. You smiled, seeing your father staring daggers into you from his desk. “What do you need, child.” You were grinning from ear to ear. “I’m not a child. Dear Lucifer, I bet you don't even know my age.” His brows snapped together. “What did you just say to me?” You took a few steps forward, now standing in front of his desk. “You heard me.” He stood up, his chair flying backwards. He swiftly made his way in front of you, towering over you. “How dare you come in here and disrespect me, your father and priest.” You laughed in his face, pissing him off more.
“You're not my father, far from it actually. You’re just a filthy old man who knows nothing about me.” You stepped forward. “I bet you didn’t know that I wanted to be in a band. I bet you don’t know that I can play guitar perfectly. I bet you didn’t know that I don’t want to be a fucking priest like you.” He slammed a fist down onto his desk. “You’ve been around those nasty ghouls! No wonder you’ve been slacking! They’re making you filthy. You stay away from those dirty little-” Before he could say another word, your body moved on its own. A red hand mark formed on his face from the harsh slap you planted on it.
He grabbed the dagger he kept on his desk, and in one quick movement you’d done it. It pierced straight through your heart, making you fall to the ground. You sharply inhaled, the pain was overwhelming your senses. You looked up at him, a smile still on your face. The doors of the office swung open, two siblings of sin barging in. They gasped at the sight before them. Your father towering over your limp body, blood spilling across the floor. You looked at the ground, saying your final words. “See you in hell, father.” You took one last breath, death washing over you.
Mountain looked back at Copia, unsure. “I know you’re scared to see it, but we have to do this to make it look real.” He nodded, bracing himself. He swung open the doors to the office and saw two siblings of sin leaned over your lifeless body. He ran up to you, falling to his knees. His stomach dropped seeing the blood that was spilled everywhere. Tears formed in his eyes as he placed a hand over your cold face. “Dear Satanas..” He looked up the sister of sin who stood in front of him. “Who did this?” Anger and grief flowed through his breaking voice. The Sister backed away, scared. Copia rushed in, grabbing onto the ghouls arms. 
“I apologize dear sister for my ghouls behavior, I will be taking him back to the ghouls wing.” She nodded, shooing him away. Copia dragged the ghoul out of the room, closing the door behind them. He released Mountain, huffing. “That was a good performance, now we need to-” He turned back to see the ghoul wiping his eyes. “Oh dear.. Mountain, you must remember this. We’re bringing him back, you’re going to see him very soon.” The tall ghoul nodded, standing up. “We must go now, your ghoul is waiting for us.” Copia gave him a reassuring pat on the back and led him down to the summoning chamber.
The pentacle was already drawn on the cold ground of the chamber with candles surrounding it. Copia quickly lit the candles and started the ritual. Mountain anxiously waited, watching the ground as if his life depended on it. The pentacle lit up, fire shooting up from the circle. A hole opened up from the ground, a hand reaching out grabbing the edge. Mountain sped to the opening and locked onto the hand. He pulled the ghoul up and out of the portal. “Papa! He’s out!” He stopped chanting, the portal quickly closing. The fire from the ghouls' bubbling skin burned him, but he didn’t care. He held the trembling ghoul in his arms, running his hand gently through his hair. “You’re home, my love.” 
You opened your eyes, gasping. Your whole body felt as though it was on fire, and it was. The feeling of familiar arms around you and that soothing honey like voice brought you back fully. “Mountain?..” You looked up to see him with glossy eyes. “You’re back, you’re safe.” You quickly wrapped your arms around him, smiling weakly into his shoulder. “I told you I’d die for you, didn’t I?”

at this point in my life, i've done so many things wrong i don't know if i can do right
if you put your trust in me, hope i won't let you down if you give me a chance, i'll try
Tumblr media
It’s bittersweet to be on this stage again. For the last time, says the little voice at the back of her head. The shame that accompanies it is bitter enough that she can hardly swallow it. But she tries. She has to. She can’t sing and be choking on bile at the same time.
Mae looks out at the dwindling crowd and she’s not sure how to feel about what she sees. It’s the last night of the performance season, so bar-goers are tired and eager to relax on their Saturday nights, which means they’re not showing up. She supposes that means there’s less people to be nervous about, less hope to build up in her chest. If anything, it’s a sign - someone’s trying to tell her, and has been for years now, to quit the dream while she’s ahead.
The voice sounds a bit too much like Oshie’s dad for her liking, so she chases it away with a shot of something bitter and wipes the back of her hand over her eyes. Bittersweet? Yeah. But sad? Hell no. This is her grand finale. She’s going out with a bang, and damn every asshole who ever told her she couldn’t do it, even if they were right.
So it really fucking sucks when she’s halfway through her set, feeling more on top of the world than she ever has before, and she looks up just in time to catch a glimpse of you. Your smile flashes in the strobe lights, and the chain at your throat gleams when you move. Mae almost misses her next line, but she manages to save it at the very last moment. You’re not here with Oshie - a relief - and that means you’re not here with Qimir either - thank god.
You have new friends, it looks like: a button-nosed girl, her hair streaked with neon green, and an awkward-looking pretty boy whose locs are short enough to stick out awkwardly over the side of his head. At least your taste has improved.
Mae swallows her nerves and drops her head a bit, letting her gaze wander over the neck of her guitar. She focuses better when she can’t see your eyes. It’s always been that way, and she hates that some things stay the same even now. Still, she pulls through. She finishes the set and she doesn’t cry, she doesn’t lose her voice or forget her words, and she doesn’t totally bomb like she has every single night before this one.
It’s just enough, but it’s far too late to make a difference. Like everything else in her life.
A heartfelt thank you and an awkward bow are all she leaves in her wake, though she’s not entirely sure she didn’t leave her heart on that stage. Or with you. Either way, there’s nothing left in the gaping wound Mae calls a chest cavity once she’s stuffed into the wings and packing her guitar into its case. There’s only the thunder of adrenaline in her ears and the nauseating turn of her stomach when she breathes.
“Hey, man, great job! You fucking killed it out there!”
It’s one of the techies, an annoyingly sweet gay guy who is so cheerful that Mae’s considered whacking him in the esophagus at least ten times by now. He claps his hand on her shoulder a little too hard, but she smells the vodka off him before she can even raise her hand. Idiot.
Through gritted teeth, she acquiesces with a very polite, “Thank you.”
“Knew you’d bring the house down eventually.”
Oh, ‘cause that makes her feel so much better. “Yep. Thanks.” And she hopes that the aggressive flicking of the clasps on her guitar case will be enough of a sign for him to back off.
God, she needs a drink. Preferably something with vodka or gin so she can forget about everything hammering away inside her head and just black out.
You meet her at the bar. Or rather, you’re already waiting for her by the time she drags her sorry ass out and orders an obscenely titled drink that’s bound to taste like lighter fluid. Your fingernails tap lightly on the glass in your hands, your eyes flickering and sparkling all over like little fireworks. Mae thinks you look pretty when the lights switch from white to hazy pinks and blues.
“Hey.”
She nods once, but she doesn’t allow herself to look above the line of your shoulders. “Hey.”
“You sounded good. I liked your set.”
Of course you do. She wrote half those songs about you. “Didn’t think I’d see you here,” Mae grumbles as she tips back another shot.
And even if she was looking at you, Mae wouldn’t need to in order to know you’re frowning. She hears it in your voice when you very pointedly reply, “I promised, didn’t I?”
You did indeed. But people say all kinds of things when they think they’re in love, and they don’t usually follow through on such promises when the romance fizzles out. Never in a million years would she have held you to an oath you made an entire lifetime ago. She’s not that kind of woman.
Rather than say any of this, though, Mae decides to throw caution to the wind and allow her curiosity to guide her. She turns and leans until both her elbows are resting on the bar. She hopes she looks effortless and cool, but with her luck it’s probably achieved the exact opposite effect.
“What’s with the clique? My sister and her boyfriend not interesting enough for you, or did you finally get tired of them fucking the personality out each other and decide to try something new?”
It’s a low blow. It’s cruel. But when has she ever been anything other than that? The jab certainly hits, judging by the furrowing of your brows and the swirling mess of pain in your irises, and Mae can’t help feeling proud of herself for it.
You take another sip of your drink that outlasts the ticking of irritation in the vein above your eyebrow. “Jecki and Yord. We met at pride last month. You’d like them.” A pause as you consider your words. And then the other shoe drops. “If you weren’t so busy being a dick, at least.”
The liquor in her stomach damn near curdles. “So that’s why you came?” she asks as she forces herself into your personal space, lips curling and her heart threatening to beat right out of her chest. “Wanted to rub some salt in the wound, huh, babe?”
“I wanted to see your last performance. I wanted to support you,” you snap.
Instead of backing down, you’ve stood your ground. You’re not impressed by her petty attempts at intimidation, which leaves Mae feeling lost in the cavernous space between her rage and her desire. Six months out and you still know exactly how to push all her buttons.
“Maybe you should’ve thought of that before you went chasing after Osha like a lovesick puppy.”
The stool you’re sitting on shrieks across the floor when you stand, your face suddenly filling the entirety of Mae’s vision. “I wasn’t aware I had to choose between my best friend and my girlfriend.”
“Yeah,” she snorts, “well, you chose wrong anyway.”
“Maybe if you’d just talked to me like a normal person, I would’ve made a better choice. But you never did know how to fucking communicate.”
She hates you. She hates you because you’re right, and she hates herself because she knows it. And she hates Qimir for stealing her sister, and she hates Osha for leaving, and she hates Sol for loving everyone except her. And most importantly, she hates that she ever loved you in the first place because it killed her to watch you leave, just like it kills her to look you in the eyes now and see what she might’ve had if she’d been a little wiser and a little braver. But she’s never been either of those things. Love is just a game that cowards like her can never win.
“You’re such a fucking idiot sometimes.”
Mae smiles until it feels like her face breaks. “I’ll add it to the list of fuck-ups and grievances.”
The bar’s starting to get fuzzy. Not literally, of course, but wouldn’t that be funny? The walls are growing distant and all the people have started to lose their individuality, slowly morphing into a vague conglomerate of limbs and booze. The vodka’s kicking in. Fucking finally.
Maybe that’s why it scares her so much when you grab her by the hand. She feels your skin on hers and she jolts like she’s been electrocuted.
“Mae,” and your voice is soft again, no longer highlighted with red pen like a failed report card. “Look, I’m sorry. I didn’t… I didn’t know.”
“Clearly.”
“Mae. Please” You look at her like you do in her dreams, all pleading eyes and backlit by grief.
“Whaddyu want me to say?” she slurs when a surprisingly strong wave of intoxication almost bowls her over. “You chose Oshie. And Qimir. And you should’ve chosen me.”
It’s startling how serious you look when you nod in agreement. “I know. I was wrong.”
The bar glitches in and out of existence for a couple seconds, and for a moment, Mae thinks she’s back in that shitty apartment, sprawled out on the mattress with you, choking on her secrets because you deserve someone better than her. She’d take you down into the rubble and the gore, not because she wants to share it with you but because she’s never known anything else. So she let the prophecy fulfill itself, and she chose perfect misery over imperfect love.
“I didn’t want to come here to upset you.”
Mae blinks and she’s back in the present, looking into your eyes and regretting everything.
“I just wanted to say that I’m sorry. I thought I was being a good friend. I didn’t know the kind of guy Qimir was.”
Not many people do. He’s good at the two-faced persona, good enough to brainwash her sister and take you with them like some fucking prized pony, and all for what? Because she turned him down? Because she said she wasn’t interested?
“I wish you’d told me, Mae, but I understand why you didn’t.”
She wishes that, too. But if there’s a common theme in Mae’s life, it’s regret and poor timing. She never seems to do anything in the right order, or anything right at all.
She smiles, and this time she cries. “Yeah, well. You know how it is. I always fuck shit up.” Her throat feels raw and dry and drowning all at once. “Wish I hadn’t fucked you up along the way, but-”
“You didn’t.”
It’s sweet of you to lie, sweet enough that Mae feels her entire bottom lip quiver.
Your palm finds the curve of her forearm, then her elbow, gentle but strong the same way that you are deep in your heart, and Mae feels lost and found and dizzy from it. She finds herself looking in your eyes despite her better judgment, exposing herself like a raw nerve under your surgical knife, but you’ve always been good to her, you’ve never cut her like the rest of the world has. And she misses you. Even if she hates you. Even if she hates herself.
“I’m sorry,” you say, solemn as a prayer, as you draw her into your embrace. She goes willingly. “For everything. I know you can’t forgive me, but I just… I wanted you to know.”
Oh, she knows. She’s always known.
