Headcannon time?! >:)))
so uh since it's been a while since I've actually drawn edgeshot I thought I would do some general headcannons on him! I did a similar post to this when I had JUST started posting and may've done another one like it so if any of these sound familiar that's why.
Some slight manga spoilers ahead
I'm pretty sure it's obvious that's he's on the introvert side of things but I also feel like he's a huge people pleaser by nature.
Before he gave me a daddy issues now he just gives me general parent issues and undiagnosed autism
Emotionally absent mom perhaps?
He could be in a room for like 5 minuets with someone and can pretty accurately diagnose them with whatever mental/physical problem they have and encourage them to get treatment for it but he's one of those guys that refuses to get treated himself
Workaholic
a mom/therapist friend tm
I feel like he got really good grades in school (mainly for the academic validation) and even went to college
He went to college for some sort of medical training probably something like paramedics or ER doctor
While in high school him interning under Recovery girl gives me life <3333
During his 3rd year I could see him taking over for Recovery girl on occasion so she could have a well deserved break
Also, I don't know why but for some reason he gives me oopsy single dad vibes? Like a random baby that he knew nothing about showing up on his door step like" 🧍‍♂️ ok."
He loves that lil girl to death in back though <33333
He always knew he wanted kids in the future so he was pretty happy despite him thinking it was too early for him to be a dad (I'm thinking he was about 19-21 when this happened.)
He does feel pretty guilty often since he can't spend as much time with her as he would like to due to work (this didn't mix well with being a workaholic)
The decision to become a hero was a last second decision on his part he originally wanted to be a full time doctor
What could've changed his mind could be that he either was or he saved someone and inspired him to at least give it a try
I also think he could've considered therapy as a possible option as well
while he was genuinely impressed with Kamui woods during that raid with it being one of the main reasons for the team up one of the other main reasons was that he was a little lonely and thought he be a cool friend <3333. The only reason anyone knows that is bc he got hit by some confession quirk on duty... Kamui cried.
Him and mt lady i feel like sass eachother a lot.
Also probably help straighten her out a bit more.
Was perfectly ok with leaving the media up to mt lady. (Neither him or kamui were particularly fond of doing so.)
Definitely a good cook
I could just be biased bc i like salmon but i feel like he makes some GOOD salmon dishes.
Also definitely eats very healthy.
Won't pass up a good pizza though.
Before I thought that he'd be a huge naruto fan but now I think it'd be hilarious if everyone assumes he is but in reality he never seen a single episode.
He was thinking of watching it but got spoiled on pretty much the entire plot so he decided against it.
He met jeanist when jeanist noticed Edgeshot patching up his jacket during lunch time.
It was jeanist's idea to start the textiles club and Edgeshot was just dragged right along with it.
Many shenanigans happen there.
Edgeshot overall is pretty artsy and likes to try a bit of everything.
He particular likes pen & ink, ceramics, and digital art.
Also enjoys trying other hobbies out like gardening and hiking.
Participated in gymnastics till he got to ua were he used it to train.
Was really good at it but didn't care for the competition part of it.
used to be super cuddly as a kid but has moved away from that and is now picky of who touches him.
People he is close to he does allow them to snuggle up with him.
Likes flattening himself like a blanket and cuddling with people then.

Drabble #1
Tumblr media
TMNT 2012 transfem!Leo x reader
It was supposed to be a drabble but I made one-shot instead, sorry
Let me know if you see any mistakes!
━═━═━═━═━
"Do you really think I should tell them now?"
The turtle was sitting on the only couch (which looked like it had survived the apocalypse- oh wait, nevermind), fidling nervously with shell-looking phone, cobalt blue eyes trailing on the name displayed on the screen.
"Don't worry, dudette! I'm sure you guys will be perfectly fine!" Mikey answered tying the tails of the blue bandana into neat bow.
Finishing, he hummed in satisfaction taking a seat beside his, now, sister. Placing a three-fingered hand on her shoulder, he sent her one of his signature sunshine smiles.
Some time ago, the turtle's fearless leader decided to come out of the shell (pun intended) and explain to them how he, at the time, felt about himself thinking his brothers would help him figure out what the feeling was. After long talking session they all came to conclusion that the oldest brother is actually the oldest sister. Of course, everyone were really supportive, their father, April and Casey, Karai too.
But there was one last person who didn't know - her significant other. She knew that was wrong, you should be one of the first people to know. You both were talking many times about putting trust in each other and if there was something important you should let the other one know, that way, there wouldn't be any misunderstandings leading to unnecessary arguments.
But she couldn't help the uneasy feeling of dread that you wouldn't accept her, that you would turn your back and leave her. And she really didn't want that to happen.
Mikey took the phone out of her hand.
"Seriously, don't worry. I'm sure they would accept you like all of us did!" he encouraged. "I'm gonna text them to come to the lair and then go to my room acting like I'm not even there. Raph and Donnie are on patrol with April and Casey so you guys have time to talk. I hope they don't kill each other tho."
The other turtle chuckled appreciating her brother's attempt to cheer her up.
"Okay." she nodded. "Thank you, Mikey."
"No problemo, sis!"
━═━═━═━═━
You walked into the open space in the sewers that the turtles and their rat father used as home. And since the day you have met them, this also became your home, especially after you started dating their blue-bandana leader.
"Hello? Anyone here?" you asked not noticing anyone in the main area.
"y/n..." you heard a quiet voice behind you.
Turning around you smiled at the familiar turtle standing beside a couch, shuffling from one feet to another.
"Hi, Leo!" grimace appeared on the ninja's face. "Is something wrong? Are you okay?"
Concern washed over you.
"No, no, I'm okay! But we need to talk."
Now you started to feel nervous. Have you done something wrong? Are you guys going to break up now? You really hope that's not the case.
You both sat on the couch, both extremely nervous.
"I..." the turtle started. "I have something to tell you."
You held your breath nodding to show you're listening. After a deep breath the terrapin began to speak again.
"Lately, I began to realize I feel different about myself, that something is not quite right. At first, I didn't know why but I had a talk with my brothers and we came to conclusion that, well..."
Small encouraging small appeared on your face.
"I-I am a girl now."
You stared, frozen in place, trying to process the information. That's...
"Is that all you wanted to say?" you asked but realized how rude it probably sounded. "No, wait, that didn't came out like I wanted it to. I ment, I was stressed that you're going to break up with me!"
Now was her turn to stare at you dumbfounded.
"...Aren't you the one breaking up with me?" she asked confused.
That's not the reaction she was expecting at all.
"What? Why would I want to do that?" you asked, not understanding her way of thinking.
"Because, well..." she hesitated. "I'm not the Leo you fell in love with anymore..."
The cobalt blue irises left your face and glared at her clenched fists laying on her lap. Small glistening tears started to form in her eyes when suddenly a hand was placed on one of her own. She slowly looked up and froze seeing your face.
There was just so much love in your own eyes, warmth started to spread on her cheeks. Honest feeling almost radiated of off you when you wiped her tears using the thumb of your other hand, grinn slowly making it's way on your face.
"I fell in love with you. Not the fearless leader, not the mutant ninja turtle, not Leonardo Hamato, but you. It does not matter who you were before or who you are now. I love you for you and I want you to be yourself, whoever that is." you cupped both her cheeks in your hands. "You are still the same person who I fell in love with."
She sat there speechlessly, the look you were giving her was so soft it was starting to make her melt. That's definitely not what she was expecting, but that was better than the best scenario she had thought about before.
She lifted her hands and placed them on yours enjoying the warm feeling spreading through her body. She wanted to answer, say anything to let you know how happy she was, but nothing came out. The turtle felt if she tried to speak then she would just start crying again.
But she didn't need to speak.
"So," you spoke up after a while. "what should I call you beside 'my girlfriend'?
She laughed lightly, lowering your hands from her face with one hand and wiping the tears of joy with the other.
"I thought about Leonore maybe? I'm not completely sure yet..."
"I think it sounds lovely!" you exclaimed, smile becoming even bigger than before. "So, my dear and wonderful girlfriend Leonore, would you like to watch some Space Heros with me while eating pizza?"
She giggled again. She couldn't find anyone better, she thought.
"Of course, couldn't think of anything better." she replied matching your energy. "And thank you. For all of that. I love you."
"It was only what I was supposed to do." your smile softening. "And I'm sure you heard me said that countless of times before but I'll tell you that as many times as you need.
I love you too."

You meet him after his concert
"Oh my god I am so excited!" You say hurriedly getting dressed in the mirror in your shared hotel room.
"Girl me too, can you believe it. We were able to get floor seats!!" You friend screams.
"I know now hurry your ass up so we can go and don't forget the vip passes so we can go backstage after the concert is over." You told her.
You grabbed your bag and your keys as you rushed your best friend out the hotel room.
"Come on child we are going to be late hurry the hell up." You tell her rushing her to move faster.
"I moving, I'm moving stop rushing me before I start moving slow on purpose." She tells you.
You sit down on the bed and you wait for her to finish. Minutes turn into days. You eventually grab your phone and you take some pictures and post them.
'OMG HARRY STYLES CONCERT! YES! I WANNA MEET MY IDOLLL💕💕🤗🥰'
"I'm ready." She calls.
"Finally, now let's go!" You said ushering her out the room.
You and get get into the car and take the short drive to the arena. You and her get out and grab your ticket and vip passes. You and her jump in like to get checked in. After you get checked in you walk through the arena looking for your seats before you eventually find them. You wait for him to come on stage.
~time skip provided by prince Harry~
"Okay so his concert was fire." You told your bestie.
"I know now come on so we can finally meet him." She said grabbing your arm and pulling you to the back.
"Pass please." The security guard said.
You and you best friend show him the passes as the hang around you neck.
"Alright please follow the line. When you get to the fron do not cross the table or you will be escorted out the building."
You and you friend nod your head waiting for him to move so y'all could pass. He stepped out if the way as you and your friend jumped into line. It moved quickly as what felt like a second later you were already at the front.
"Alright y/n now is not the time for a panic attack. Keep calm and everything will work out." You said stepping up to the table.
You reached out your notebook for him to sign it. You noticed he was still sweat from his concert not long ago. God to feel that sweat life would be complete. He signed your notebook as you asked his manager to take a picture of you and him. He got up and walked in front the table. He walked by you and hugged you as Jeff snapped a picture.
"Thank you Harry. I also wanted you to know your concert was amazing tonight." You told him.
"Thank you so much, this concert was fun for me as well. Btw 'call me'."
'Call him. Was he taking me me?' You thought.
A second later you looked down at your notebook and his number was written in it with a little note.
'I saw you on the crowd andI couldn't take my eyes off of you. I was going to be in town for a few more days and I was wondering if Icould take you out tomorrow. If not is understandable. Have a goodnight.
-xoxo Harry'
You looked at him and winked at him and he smiled at you. He must have knew what you ment. After your beat friend got her picture of him signed and her picture she walked by you.
"So did you get what you were looking for?" She asked.
"More than what I was looking for." You told her as you thought about Harry and him giving you, his number. Yeah, my life is complete.

☆: bounty hunter! you x thief! minghao au tw: ment of violence/weapons | this was in my drafts so i decided to finish it
“there’s no way in the world any of you are going to catch him, but if you do -”
the head of the police, hong joshua, stands tall and straight behind the podium
the gold of his medals shines harshly under the white light of the town courthouse 
and your mind wanders off as you think about the pretty penny you could get if you were to just happen upon stealing one of those medals....not that a bounty hunter should ever steal 
“but if you do, the police will wipe your own felonious records clean and even offer a good amount of monetary compensation.”
that perks your interest, since you’re currently looking for some extra cash
plus being a bounty hunter isn’t a so called ‘clean’ job - you have stains on your record you’d like to see get erased.
and you know mr. hong doesn’t like you all that much so having him be the one clean up for you is sickly satisfying to some part of your psyche 
you’ve been working in this shitty underground world for too long 
someone’s voice comes from the back of the interrogation room and you don’t even have to look to know that it’s that newbie seokmin 
all excited and bouncy and not-yet-dead-and-cold-inside like the rest of the people around you
“who is the criminal we’re chasing?”
the monitor on the rolled up caddy beside the policeman flickers on 
“xu minghao. he’s a notorious thief in the city, responsible for the last string of high art robberies from the homes and personal collections of the elite.”
you snort, the ‘elite’, being rich makes you some kind of level above human now doesn’t it?
“his latest victims are the choi family, he stole not only paintings but some jewelry as well - possibly high end watches and the sort.”
“choi family?”
god this new kid knows nothing
“choi seungcheol’s family” you say with a yawn “you know, the choi seungcheol - the mayor.”
seokmin gasps and you finally look at him. 
he’s got a build to him that probably helps with physical altercations but he gives off the vibe that he’d faint at the sight of blood
“exactly.” 
joshua shoots a pointed look at you and you kind of dance around in the disgust 
“which is why we are going out on a limb and asking for the bounty hunters to help. the choi family desperately wants these pieces returned to them.”
you look at minghao’s face on the screen, it’s obviously not a mugshot so you note that the police force has actually never caught him
it’s a kind of photo that looks like it has been pulled off a social media account
minghao is standing in some sort of white room, he’s tilting his head and looking at the camera - or maybe the person holding it - and one of his eyes has a piercing blue colored contact in it
his features are angular, sharp, and long - but they fit together to make an unusually handsome kind of face
you slide forward in your chair and take your own phone out to snap a picture of the monitor
“how much for him?”
another voice echoes somewhere from the corner
joshua’s straight-faced expression twitches like he’s trying to believe the number that comes out of his mouth.
“ten million”
you keep counting the zeros in your head as you push your keys into your motorcycle and adjust yourself on the seat
you could retire with that kind of money. you live a frugal existence as it is.
you know that minghao is probably also somewhere in the city, still plotting for his next job. 
he’s been hitting rich people’s houses for two months straight and the choi’s are a victory, for sure, but they’re still not the biggest shark in the ocean.
the people who sponsor them, the people who made seungcheol mayor, minghao has to be going for them next
you make a list of the three family names that come to mind, luckily enough you also know someone who works in the business of ‘technology’ or so who can help you track down the lead forming in your head
you look one last time at the picture of minghao on your phone before you slip it into your jacket pocket and pull out of the parking lot
“how much?”
“stick-up-his-ass hong said ten million, the choi’s really want there watches and monet’s back.”
jihoon turns to you with a deadpan expression
“you know monet’s can go up to ten times that amount right?”
you shrug and shove a half eaten bar of candy in your mouth that you stole from a bowl by his computer
“i don’t know, i didn’t go to college for art history. anyway, can you help?”
“how much of your cut will i get.”
you lick your lips and think for a second
“if i get him alive i’ll cut you in thirty percent. if he’s dead, ten.”
jihoon taps his foot and adjusts the glasses on his nose, he told you once they’re for the blue light or whatever that come out of his six computers.
“deal.”
you come over and see him open up the page of one of the most expensive and professional art dealers in this city, jihoon mentions that this person is in charge of the buying accounts for all of the three families you mentioned
he also happens to manage the choi’s, so looking into him could lead to possible other leads for the three targets you have in mind
“if minghao is planning to rob them - he needs to know what pieces to take. he’s probably also tracking down what they’re currently thinking about buying.”
“yeah, and im gonna assume - you know, bounty hunters intuition or whatever, that he’s going to hit whichever family recently bought the most expensive piece.”
jihoon’s fingers type faster than your eyes can follow. he doesn’t even seem to move his face, just his pupils and then a bunch of screens are popping up everywhere
you had befriended him on an assignment to catch a hacker - not jihoon, although he’s actually got a price on his head too - but another hacker who was clambering up jihoon’s business
you watch as jihoon does his magic, and then in about ten or so minutes you have an answer
“one of the family’s just bought and received a vase from this guy, it won its auction at around twenty five million. it’s from the ming dyn-”
“which family?”
you don’t care if they got a vase, a sofa, a painting, or a gold and diamond encased piece of potato - something in your stomach told you that whoever just spent the most was on minghao’s radar and minghao was on yours
jihoon adjusts his glasses
“that would be ... oh, that would be the yoon family.”
you taste something iron on the tip of your tongue, yoon jeonghan was on the cover of last month’s vogue if you remember correctly
“got it. thanks.”
you shrug your jacket back on and jihoon spins around in his chair when you get to the door of his dark apartment 
“remember, thirty if he’s alive!”
“and ten if he’s not!”
you don’t like the fact that this new kid, seokmin, is standing outside the giant gates of the yoon family mansion 
he’s wearing a cut off white t-shirt and new balances for christs sake
“hey!” he looks like he’s seen the sun when he spots you sort of loitering nearby, you try to ignore him but he’s coming over
“hi.”
“staking out the yoon’s? my first impression was they’d be minghao’s next targets because they’re rich and like art too.”
you wonder how he knows that so you ask, half expecting he might actually tell you - which would be a stupid thing to do.
he does.
“oh! i mean their son is a designer, they must be the best people to steal from.”
that’s so fucking ridiculous but he’s actually right. going to tell jihoon im cutting his share in half since apparently his intel could have been free.
“uhuh. well good luck.”
the words are stale when you say them, but sparkling eyes seokmin takes them to heart with a gracious “you too!”
you actually didn’t come to stake them out - you came to see if minghao might be staking them out
no good thief actually just bursts into someone's home, they need to know every nook and cranny of a place if they want to get out clean
judging by minghao’s track record, you can tell he’s cautious and detailed
you circle the house at a safe distance and then head back home, you read a bunch of articles on minghao’s past crimes and eat the only thing you have in your fridge which is mint ice cream - it was left there by a late night hook up who’d doordashed 7/11 even when you told them not to
you do some other minor research on smaller bounties you could chase after minghao is caught, none are interesting or any where near the price of minghao’s
you lay down and the stray you recently started letting crawl through the fire escape makes a little fuzzy circle at the base of your feet
you look at your phone, look at the photo of minghao
wonder if he’s as detailed orientated in other things aside from stealing. looks like he’d know what to do with his hands.
you fall asleep with the phone on your chest.
the next day, you’re texting jihoon about the seokmin thing - he tells you to piss off and not even think about downing his cut or he’ll leak your social security on the internet
that’s so fucked up dude
you’re a shit bounty hunter and im a hermit hacker we aren’t good people anyway
fine, are the yoon’s buying any other vases or whatever
actually, they won an auction a month ago for some ceramics. heard they’re coming tomorrow.
oh, might be a good time to steal that vase and some extra trinkets too for our thief 
look how ugly these things are tho
jihoon sends you a photo pulled from the auctioning website, they are ugly, but they’re expensive
you rub your temple and decide that’s enough for today, you don’t see seokmin around either
seungcheol’s generic smiling im-a-good-mayor-and-i-kiss-babies face is grainy on your tv
you eat the takeout you picked up on the way back and are only mildly surprised when you notice someone familiar in the crowd
this is old footage, from a rally he did before the crime
your eyes pan to the corner and pull out one person from the sea of faces, everyone looks so excited to see seungcheol, minghao stands staunch and unwavering in the moving bodies
he’s not grinning - he’s kind of half smirking from what you can tell
he really does his research, i kind of like him
you put the chopsticks into your mouth, yeah. i think he’s going to be a fun one to catch.
goddamn seokmin is here again - on the night the drop shipment of the ceramics is scheduled - you tell yourself you were a clown for believing all that ‘i just thought they’d be the right family!’ bullshit he was telling you about
he probably has an informant of his own, definitely not jihoon though. seokmin is the type jihoon would rather drive a usb through his head than ever cooperate with
you avoid him the second you see his strong shilloute and make your way to the otherside of the house, right on the outskirts of the back garden
there’s one person in it - none of the immediate yoon family you can recognize, probably just a worker
you know there’s three entrances from here - the garden doors, the side opening that leads to an underground washing room, and there’s also a way to get into the back of the kitchen
you are betting that either one of them might be a good choice for minghao, but you put your bet on the washing room - it has stairs that lead up into a spare bedroom which is adjacent to a gallery type room inside of the huge mansion
it’s where the family will probably put the items, rich people love to be all like “look at my room of expensive things you don’t get to touch”
you stick your tongue out to yourself, morally you don’t care about thievery. especially when it’s stolen art stolen from people who just want it to feel superior to others
but minghao is worth ten million, that’s why im taking the higher ground on this ‘crime’
bounty hunters are allowed to carry guns, but you’ve never liked them - you like to use mace instead
that being said, you’ve brought your gun along - unloaded - just to use a scare tactic if push comes to shove. it’s heavy and it reminds you constantly of the job you came to do.
no getting distracted by newbie muscle heads or how hot you’re coming to think minghao is 
you hear something - eyes darting to behind one of the columns of a large gazebo in the garden
you swear you see something slink across as the only person in the garden gets up to head back inside
keeping your movements and noise to a minimum, you position your body for a better view and after what seems like two heartbeats you see him dart from the enclosure and toward the mansion
you don’t follow immediately, the only way you’re going to catch someone who is so elusive is if you one up him
you have the element of surprise, but not really, he might be expecting personal guards of the yoon household or the police
not a rogue bounty hunter with a can of mace
but he’s still expecting - and someone whose entire job is to be like a shadow - you’ve got to be careful
you wait the amount of time you deem appropriate and then do the same, you realize when you slip through the backdoor of the washroom that now you’re also committing a crime of breaking and entering
you’re sure the yoon’s won’t mind though - you are about to make sure their ceramics and vases don’t get stolen
plus, you checked up on all of them, the main family shouldn’t be home. the only people on premises are some cleaners and the gardener. you’re sure minghao knows that too.
you map out the house in your mind from what you’ve learned in the past couple of days and find the gallery with ease
you can see the large double doors are open just enough for a person to slip through
so he’s already in ther-
“HEY YOU! YOU BETTER STOP!”
your eyes widen and you push inside to see what’s going on 
seokmin, flashing something in his right hand and holding a light in the other is pointing at the long, lean figure of minghao
he’s standing there in the circle of light holding the vase you and jihoon had been looking at before
his eyes are unimpressed when they settle on seokmin
“ok, ive stopped - now what are you going to do?”
“im going to arrest you and bring you to the poli-”
the vase that’s held professionally between both his arms then gets dropped and crashes to the floor
the crescendo of noise startles seokmin because it’s the one thing all these new kids who want to try this kind of work get wrong
the thief is never going to drop the valuable goods - except they are, getting caught is worse then anything else. 
there will always be shit to steal - except you know if you’re in jail.
minghao beelines for the doors and you’re there, big grin and mace in hands
“hi!”
his eyes widden and you tackle him with ease, one hand bent behind his back as you make sure to keep your weight off him
“ugh, that big idiot had a partner?”
“he’s not my partner, by the way that vase is worth more than what im getting for your head.”
minghao shifts his cheek against the hard floor of the gallery and he’s smiling back up at you
“how much for me?”
“choi’s but ten million.”
he makes a pfft sound as he releases air from between his lips
“cheap as fuck.”
seokmin tries to bound over to help once he comes to, but you bite at him to back off. this is your win.
he says he can drive you and minghao to the station, but you tell him again that you’ve got this on your own
you kind of feel bad about how flustered he is and you tell him he can still brag about how you two were the only people with sense to look at the yoon’s 
for some reason, that actually brightens him up. he leaves to go downstairs and you don’t know if he sticks around or goes off on another job.
you get the handcuffs on minghao’s wrists before the workers, who hear the noise come running up in terror
you flash your bounty id and they scramble to get a hold of the local police office
minghao sits up against the wall and you sit directly in front of him - you can see him better with the lights on
his dark hair is long in the back and messy, his eyes are brown and long and twinkle when you look into them
the bottom corners are highlighted by what you can’t tell if is sweat or glitter
“you’re different”
he starts and you put up a finger
“im not different, im just experienced.”
“you like money more than you like your morals.”
you put the finger down and gleam at him
“bingo”
“so why are you sitting here waiting to hand me over for some chump change like ten million dollars when you and i are inches away from a collection that’s worth close to a hundred million?”
you touch the holster on your hip and tilt your head
“we - even the two of us - wouldn’t be able to steal everything in there. we’d need a whole team and-”
you start as minghao open’s his mouth to counter. all his teeth are white and straight.
“and if we could, you’d backstab me and take it all and run because you just said it yourself. money over morals.”
“ive got morals when im dealing with the right people.”
the snort you let out is louder than you expect and it makes minghao cock an eyebrow
“don’t care, you’re a professional liar. plus hong said he’d clear our records and get us that money.”
“joshua hong works for choi seungcheol who is a bigger liar than i am and you know it.”
there’s real spite in the way he says it - you assume he’s probably had interactions with both. or he’s just grown up in this city like you have, all the trouble politics can cause - all the stupid, underhanded shit that goes on
he leans a little forward
“plus, you’re hot. usually anyone who manages to catch me is very gruff and very mean.”
“i am gruff and mean, don’t test me.”
you banter but then look around and the gardener who was supposed to stay up here with you and minghao has turned his attention elsewhere - normal people don’t like facing criminals and well...whatever category bounty hunters are in.
“what’s the most expensive thing in that room.”
you ask under your breath suddenly, the police won’t be here for another five minutes at least. 
you text jihoon to tap into their comms and let you know the exact moment they’re at the door.
minghao shines that grin, slender fingers lift up and toward the door
“i broke it, but that place is jammed of other million dollar treasures. i saw an original signac that could score us close to 17 million.”
“a signac? who is that?”
minghao laughs with his hands still behind him
“so you’re hot but not into art, i can still work with that. he’s an artist, paul signac. the yoon’s own ‘la corne d'or.’” 
you shrug your shoulders again and pretend you don’t hear the first part but mutter that art doesn’t make sense to you and minghao lets out another quieter laugh
“it’s a painting of boats but it looks psychedelic almost, super colorful. thirty six or so inches across.”
you think to yourself - one painting and it’s 17 million, what if you get another painting with it
“ok...anything else in there catch your eye?”
minghao wiggles a little 
“lots, i know art like people know starbucks orders. very well.”
your phone pings and it’s jihoon’s warning. the police are going to be coming upstairs to take minghao off your hands in the next sixty to ninety seconds.
“i can’t trust you.”
he thins his lips and then taps your foot with his own, does a weird jostle of his body and then to your shock breaks out of his handcuffs with ease
he rubs his wrists as you think you hear some noise downstairs and the gardener jumps out of his seat to go greet the police without noticing the thing that just happened only a feet away from him
“i’ve had a bobby pin this whole time, i could have run away five whole minutes ago instead of giving you a history lesson on boat paintings worth more money than you’ve ever dreamt of.”
you don’t miss a beat 
“let’s get the fucking boats then.”
you get up and minghao takes a hold of your hand in a way you haven’t experienced since maybe middle school
like when a beloved childhood friend would take you and lead you toward the playground, giggle about school or your parents, pull you in to a fun moment under the basking sun
you and him stand, hand in hand, in front of the painting he mentioned
it’s pretty, it almost looks like it was drawn by crayons, you wonder why it’s so expensive 
“let’s take it and the two sketches over there, one’s a lady with a piano the other is a couple under an umbrella
“are they-”
“at least two million each. plus - we can comeback for the ceramics later.”
you don’t know why it makes you feel warm - but it does and you take the two framed sketches off the wall
the painting is large, but minghao has done this enough times before that he knows how to handle it - you two are out the hall and down the stairs by the time you hear the police shuffling up them
took their time thinking he’d just be sitting up there wrapped up like a present huh?
you think to yourself, minghao is quick on his feet and leads you in the direction of a inconspicuous looking tiny car that could seat you, him and maybe that stray that hangs around your apartment 
he opens the back and it is a perfect size for the painting
“did you come here on your bike?”
you realize the whole look of you must give away the fact that you ride one
“never, i dont bring it on jobs because people know what it looks like.”
he tips his fingers toward you in acknowledgement
“good because this car isn’t mine either, so add auto theft to the list of crimes you’re committing with me on this first date.”
you bite the inside of your cheek, can’t tell if he’s joking or not
he hits the gas before there’s any movement on the street where it’s parked - the yoon mansion fades into the distance as he rushes into the evening traffic
“is this the part where you kick me to the curb?”
you ask
minghao takes one hand off the wheel and puts it on your thigh
“this is the part where you tell me where you live so we can go get your things and ride off into the sunset, bonnie.”
you laugh
“so you’re clyde?”
he looks at you at a red light - looks at your lips and then your eyes
“do you want me to be?”
you can decide the answer to that yourself
*if you’re interested here is la corne d’or on the sothebys website.

Tumblr media Tumblr media
this was wrong.
this was so very wrong, and you knew it. there was this churning feeling in the pit of your stomach, a stinging sensation in the base of your thumbs that told that you were doing something terribly immoral.
well...you weren’t the one doing it. technically.
the metaphorical devil on your shoulder tried to reason, and you made a small, annoyed noise to yourself. two long fingers had practically made their home inside of your core; index stroking your sensitive bundle of nerves slowly but it was still enough to put you in a haze.
you squeezed your thighs shut, puffs of hot breath leaving your lips in quick succession. the culprit only hummed in response, a shameless grin spreading over his face, brown eyes glinting with what could only be described as playful defiance. na jaemin had you exactly where he wanted you.
“you’re doing so good, sweetheart.” jaemin whispered, his head buried in the crook of your neck. “such pretty little noises you’re making for me.”
you whined in response, and you sounded so meek and submissive; you hated it. you never once in your wildest dreams thought that jaemin of all people, the boy who just a day ago was happily introducing himself to your parents, would be the one to have you in such a predicament. cuddled up on the couch with him, a throw blanket rested over both of you, while jeno and renjun sat mere inches away from you.
there was a part of you that remembered growing up with nct dream, watching them walk their path to achieving their dreams of becoming idols. you remembered meeting jeno and jaemin back when they were in the mickey mouse club, all of you in the same age range with goals of making it big.
so, the fact that you were inside of their dorms being fingered by their best friend and bandmate while they were supposed to be watching movies almost felt sacrilegious.
but you didn’t dare tell jaemin to stop.
so he continued, index finger lazily massaging your soaking wet core as if nothing was happening. he even managed to keep a straight face, staring at the screen and turning to crack jokes with jeno every so often. he wasn’t even blushing! how the hell was that fair at all?
you were filled with so much shame, and yet at the same time the thrill of being touched so explicitly right in front of people made your heart race.
every time his fingers would dip to gather some of your essence, teasing at your begging hole, it would take every ounce of you not to scream. you wanted to drop to your knees and beg him to just fuck you stupid, right in front of everyone. you wanted him to go faster, you wanted his mouth on you, you wanted his hands all over you.
goddamnit, you just wanted to cum.
“nngh...t-tease…” you mumbled, furrowing your eyebrows in frustration. jaemin only chuckled softly in response, other hand rested on your thigh; fingers drawing patterns over the expanse of it. “but you sound so cute.” he giggled against your ear, kissing your cheek. “you’re so good for me, doll, you’re doing so good.”
to the naked eye, jaemin was just being overly affectionate. which was in his nature truly, so jeno and renjun didn’t bat an eyelash at him canoodling with you the way he was. if only they knew what magic his fingers were working underneath that throw blanket.
“should i let you cum right here? hm?”
panic began to rise through your chest as jaemin picked up his speed, he kept an eye on his friends, index finger rubbing your clit in quick circles; or as quick as he could do without getting caught. you dug your fingers into the flesh of his arm, whimpering softly as you shut your eyes to try to focus. you were trying your absolute best not to let your thighs tremble, but it was useless at this point.
“jaem, no...n-not here. please, not here.” you pleaded with him, voice a broken whisper. jaemin hummed, his middle finger slipping inside of you before you could stop him.
you inhaled sharply, which caused jeno and renjun to turn to look at you. “you okay?” renjun tilted his head at you and you scrambled to come up with an excuse, nodding your head rigorously.
“yeah! i’m okay! i, uh. i just...accidentally scratched myself too hard. g-gotta cut my nails later.”
renjun narrowed his eyes at you for a moment before nodding, seemingly buying it, and you felt like your heart was gonna come tumbling out of your ass at any minute.
jaemin giggled again, nibbling on your earlobe. “nice save, baby. you’re adapting well.” he teased, and you were so angry you wanted to scream. as a ‘reward’ he curled his middle finger inside of you and you were losing your mind.
you bit down on your lip so hard it hurt, head falling and resting on his chest. “please...please please please please…” you whispered.
“shh shh. c’mon, baby, you can handle it.” jaemin whispered into your ear. “you’re doing so good. so good, my baby, you’re gonna earn your orgasm. i’ll make you feel so good.”
you bit back another whimper, eyes falling shut again as you tried to calm yourself as best as you could. you felt like one more prod was going to send you right over the edge. “nana...i c-can’t…”
“you can.”
jaemin’s voice was dark and demanding, and it made you shiver. “sit still.”
minutes went by, and they felt like hours. the movie had finished and the boys had a long conversation about how boring it was for it to have been a horror movie; you were unable to contribute much as you weren’t paying much attention to it to begin with.
the plan was to order food and watch something significantly better, which in jeno’s mind was some obscure murder mystery he had found on netflix. jeno had left to go to the bathroom, renjun getting up to make popcorn and you let out a breath you didn’t know you were holding.
“jaem, for fuck’s sake.” you finally burst out, whimpering and whining as you buried your face in his chest. “you’re so fucking mean, i hate you.”
jaemin laughed as he slid a second finger into you, surveying the area and making sure the coast was clear before curling both fingers and ramming them into you with such speed you were sure you were going to pass out. after at least an hour of slow teasing, the sudden onslaught of pleasure was almost over stimulating. you threw your head back, eyebrows furrowing and eyes crossing while your thighs instinctively shut around his hand. it was too much for you, so much that you began to try and squirm away from him only to have jaemin give your thighs a firm slap.
“keep them open.”
“n-no, you’re gonna...m-make me…”
“that’s the plan.” jaemin glanced up again, making sure to keep a lookout. “if you don’t cum before they get back, you’re gonna have to wait another hour or more. possibly until they fall asleep, which could take all night. you’re very impatient so i know you don’t want that.”
oh, god you hated time limits.
you were sure you had, at best, 30 seconds or less before jeno or renjun returned. the last thing you wanted was to be caught mid orgasm by either of them. what would they think of you? their friend reduced to some disgusting little whore being fingered on their expensive couch?
something about that turned you on so much more, though. the adrenaline of trying not to be caught, chasing your orgasm as fast as you could. “you’d better hurry…” jaemin sounded almost sing-songy in your ear, fingers still fucking into you at speed your brain couldn’t comprehend. with the palm of his hand rubbing against your clit, you were melting into his arms.
you stuffed your fingers into your mouth in a feeble attempt to keep yourself quiet enough that they wouldn’t hear but your poor brain was fried, all you could think of was jaemin and how good his fingers felt inside of you.
‘fuck, i have to cum now. i need it, i need it so bad. they’re gonna see me, fuck. oh, god, they’re going to catch me. this is so fucked, they’ll never see me the same if they catch me. they’ll think im such a slut, i have to hurry!’
suddenly your jaw went slack, the burning knot in the pit of your stomach finally unraveling. there was an explosion of white, followed by splotches of every other color in the rainbow as you convulsed in his arms. you found yourself biting down on jaemin’s collarbone as you hid your face in the crook of his neck trying not to scream while he cooed in your ear.
“theeere she is. that’s my girl, i knew you could do it. i knew you could hold out for me, baby. fuck, you’re so beautiful, that’s it. thaaat’s it, fuck my hand. god, you’re amazing.”
you whined desperately, trying to push his arm away as he continued to rub at your over sensitive clit. your chest was heaving, tears clinging to the corners of her eyes and then you heard footsteps. jeno had returned first.
he sighed, sliding his phone back into his pocket before glancing around the room; locking eyes with you. you looked out of breath, panting in jaemin’s arms while he smiled down at you with a loving look in his eyes. “what the fuck are you two doing?” he asked bluntly with a laugh.
you startled, giggling nervously out of instinct. had he seen you? did he know what was going on?
“i showed her this funny video donghyuck sent me.” jaemin answered calmly, removing his fingers from their warm spot inside of you. “she started doing that thing where she laughs until she cries.”
god, he’s way too good at this.
you lifted a hand to wipe your tears and gave another giggle, playing along with his story. “the stupidest shit makes me laugh, it’s really awful.”
jeno scoffed a small laugh, falling down on the couch. “yeah, tell me about it. your humor’s so fucked, one weird sound and you’re giggling about it for weeks.”
‘home safe. god, how did i get out of this.’ you thought as he and jaemin delved into a conversation of stupid memes and how weird the internet’s humor had become.
renjun returned with popcorn and the food jeno had ordered, giving jaemin the chance to fully retrieve his hand as they had their backs turned. “messy girl.” he whispered to you, smirking as he showed you his two fingers coated in your juices.
you felt like your face was on fire, watching him dramatically encase his own fingers within his mouth; licking your cum clean off them before turning to grab the ramen he had ordered as if nothing had happened.
you started incredously at the back of his head, in utter shock at just how brazen your boyfriend truly is. you hated that you weren’t sure if you could control yourself the next time you were left alone with him. you were half considering taking him to the bathroom to take his cock into your mouth and give him a taste of his own medicine.
you decided to keep your composure, though. trembling hands reaching for the peach flavored drink you ordered while jaemin practically burst with pride when renjun began to tease you for your shaking hands.

,
Is it a crime to accidentally let go of someone that’s meant to imperil sentient beings?
.
[ The Senectitude of Long Ago ]
“Father?”
A child no older than five ambled in the room, icy eyes taking in the warm environment before grounding himself in place so as to not depart right away.
He’s unable to tolerate even the small rise of temperature in the stifling area.
Ah, he already regretted leaving his room, but alas, he refused to be fed by a silver spoon. He refused to be gated by limitations that could be overlooked.
In spite of his young age, the wisdom of knowing that he had to get by with having to learn and adapt was already bestowed.
He stumbled further into the dark room encompassed with the smell of paper and ink, unsure where to go, but trustful of his little legs.
A smart child, a future prodigy, such compliments were often directed to him. A youth smiled upon by Yang! Surely, he will be an excellent exorcist.
And he will be! He will make sure of that! That is why—
“... Ah!” his eyes visibly gleamed at the familiar structure of the book he was looking for, tiny fists clenching in excitement, “There it is!”
—That is why he must claim that piece of information no matter the cost!
He started reaching for it—jumping for it—climbing for it—but to no fruition.
If only his height agreed to help him!!
An indignant huff escaped his lips, the emotion burning him up from within and swelling his head with another ache for the nth time that week.
For a second, he almost bent to the will of his congenital positivity—to allow it to take the reigns and make him do the impossible, but-
“What are you doing here, young man?”
Little Chongyun swallowed thickly at the stern voice that came and the shadow that towered over, all coming at his back.
Knowing that it’d do him good to speak the truth than make up of an excuse - that didn’t work at all the last time he was caught - the exorcist-to-be turned around.
Oh well, time to appeal to his parent.
The presence of prior annoyance to his situation dissipated, and he’s reduced to a shameful, stuttering mess as he swayed to and fro. Keeping his eyes on the ground, he answered,
“I wanted to read what you were studying the night ago…”
“So you saw me, then?”
Little Chongyun bounced, eyes sparkling.
“Yeah! It was a- uh, something about taumater-.. and sore-el.. code- code… ex..” he tried his absolute best not to topple over his words, but such wasn’t avoidable.
Not when he barely knows the syllables and the proper utterance for it.
“Thau-ma-tur-gy and En-sor-cell-ment Codex.” came the enunciation.
He beamed right away.
“Mhm! That one!”
“I only started reading it after midnight. You just admitted to having gone past your supposed bed time. Again, for the fourth time this week.”
And he deflated just as quick, stunned that he was caught in the act when he was trying his absolute best not to get caught. But he was, and there was no taking back his admission.
He waited for him to be scolded, as per usual, but a rough hand merely tousled his already messy locks. A laugh rekindled in the room when he whined.
“I already told you that you’re not yet prepared to learn those, at least, not until you finish that storybook, young man.” Chongyun huffed in impatience.
He felt himself growing a bit hot all over again.
“But I’m already five!”
“And should stick to their books first,” remarked his father, “That’s no simple fairytale. It may appear like so, but there is a lesson within that story that will shape your morals and thinking as a future exorcist. Additionally!”
The tiny child squeaked when his forehead gets flicked—gently, of course.
“You still have to learn how to condition yourself.”
If what his parent said before wasn’t the icing on the cake to shatter his hopes of jumping past the textbooks meant for his age, what he added surely did.
Being born with congenital positivity is a good thing as long as the person knows how to keep it under wraps, but he doesn’t.
And there’s been a lot of times when he had fallen with a severe fever due to the warm temperature his body was emanating.
Nothing but sheer cold, meditation, and cold things in general, could tame his overheating trait.
All of which are supposedly easy to do, learn, and get, but for someone his age —where there’s an endless supply of desire for adventure and the like — it’s quite the opposite.
He couldn’t wait.
But he could understand that he wouldn’t be able to do anything he wished to do if he lingered about doing nothing to condition his Yang energy.
So with slumped shoulders and a defeated nod to his father, he slipped past the library doors and went back to his room posthaste.
A refurbished cedar shelf nearest to his bed held books of antiquity; the deity of purgation, the lord of geo, the wonders of Teyvat, and so on.
But none piqued his interest, so he didn’t bother pulling them out of their places. To his chagrin, however, it looks like there’s no escape from this storybook.
What’s the big deal with this tale, anyway? He mulled with a pout as the icy breeze of his room brushed the lingering touches of his warm energy. It’s nothing but a kid playing with his friends…
Perhaps, it was the fact that the starting narrations of the book spoke about how a child was having fun that made Chongyun bitter and push it away.
Because unlike him, who was stuck with reading a material that’s apparently meant to be read to youngsters like him in the clan, the character in the story was living out his days the way he wanted to.
Perhaps, it was also because the character was described to be a warm, innocent youth —one that his mother explained to be a child whose heart is warm, whose smile is as bright as the sun, and who laughs almost every day— and therefore was the complete opposite of him.
Who, could never outright dwell in his joy and must learn to subdue it lest his positivity gets the best of him, and he succumbs to yet another episode that will render him immobile with a high fever.
Was he filled with the icky green monster called jealousy?
That seemed to be the case, for even now, he refused to move onto the next page knowing that the following paragraphs would only spell out the persona’s warm, blissful life.
Oh, but if only he knew the misfortune that poor character will have to go through.
He merely swung his legs from atop the chair, pouting as he passed the time pretending to read.
But his mother knew him all too well to bother believing that he was indulging himself with a tale that she’s personally known her whole life.
If she were to give her own opinion, the tale was nice and contained a lesson that will benefit exorcists.
She understood her son’s predicament, for she was also bequeathed with above the average Yang, though it’s nowhere close to her child.
“Sweet,” said his mother as she walked into the room after retrieving a book in her room, “How about we read a section of The Exorcists’ Decalogue first?”
She’d never seen him light up more than ever.
“R-really!?”
A smile graced her lips.
Well, she can let it slide for this one time.
.
[ Nascence of the Fated ]
Granted, that book was far from being ‘Thaumaturgy and Ensorcellment Codex’, it was still a nice start to the world of the exorcists.
Seeing that it was none other than the collection of rules and systems meant to be obeyed by to-be-exorcists and exorcists, in specificity, he remembered how quick he was to jump off the chair to rush into his late mother’s arms.
It was better than reading some old-fashioned fairytale, after all, even if his five-year-old self barely registered most of the words in the intricate text read to him by his parent. In exchange for it, they read the storybook afterward.
Oh, but now that he thought about it… he barely touched the book after the passing of his mother.
Ah, Chongyun shakes his head with a small frown. Steady breaths. Now is not the time to be despondent.
He’s certain that she’ll be proud of who he is today, regardless of his unique upbringing—in other words, being unable to take the same route as any other exorcist.
Now’s not the time to fuss over a childhood story, he resonates in his head.
The wind rustles the trees and shrubberies he is sheltering in and he hastily buries himself deeper into the greens when he spots the Yin-cursed spirit turning to scout her environment.
Her trusty familiar has its snout in the air, and he tries his best to be less noticeable.
He hears a few whispers, then the fading of footsteps.
Taking it as the sign to take another peek, he does and makes a small sound of astonishment when the [c]nette trudges down the slope of the land.
Black and [c] fire fumes on the surface she has stepped upon, crawling past the grass yet not setting it aflame.
Instead, it crawls to a pile of debris, going under the bunch of wooden planks before disappearing.
Chongyun blinks.
Oh, that was underwhelming.
He wonders what those flames do. He hasn’t seen such a color… was the spirit a Pyro-user? Ah, if she was… what polar opposites.
Wait, can Vision bearers use their blessings even after death?
Hopping out of his hiding spot, the exorcist makes haste to follow after the apathetic spirit of Yin.
He’s been at her tail for the entire day, observing, scrutinizing her every action the moment he had successfully found her for the second time.
Why, you ask?
As much as he hates objectifying people and seeing them as opportunities, he cannot help but feel that way when he saw her. How can he not?
All his life, he has been searching for the chance to make a proper exorcism. Crestfallen each time he is unable to conduct one like the rest in his clan, he ventured past the lands he’s known of.
And now—years later, his search has come to fruition.
All those suns and moons spent learning to harness his Yang and improve his martial arts… they weren’t for naught at all! If this is not a moment his fate has written for him, then what the heck is it?
He refuses to think it’s anything else.
Besides…
Chongyun stops for a moment to look at the same pile of debris where the black and [c] fire has disappeared into, and purses his lips at the sight of some bones jutting out.
Evil spirits… mustn’t reign with liberty.
They are evil for a reason, aren’t they? Their wickedness knows no bound, and their eternal ire will smite—taint, those unfortunate enough to be exposed to negative energy. The budding seed of corruption grows because of it.
Just imagining the poor innocents this Yin spirit must’ve tainted—may it be voluntarily or involuntarily—makes him freeze.
Invigorated to continue his purpose, the exorcist nods to himself before walking onwards. But his senses pick up an unwanted presence of an entity, and he’s swift to spin and dodge an incoming projectile.
What-!?
Eyes blown wide, the bluenette steps back when he sees a mangled skeleton standing, albeit wobbly.
The same fumes he saw a while ago encased its bones like a bonfire, flickering with tips of [c]—similar to the black and cyan flames brought by the Vigilant Yaksha’s purgation.
Though these are far from pure.
No, these are tainted.
The ability of Yin energy; manifesting and morphing remnants of the deceased, their will and carcass shaping into an evil monster.
Seeing one before his own eyes is petrifying. He’s shivering with bitterness, unable to calm himself because—because harnessed Yin has such a twisted way of humoring the dead.
There’s no respect.
The evil manifestation gurgles a marbled sentence, indecipherable to his ears, but by its tone, he can say that the will of… of this deceased person is still there.
And they don’t wish to continue being tainted. Not when they were previously at peace.
There’s no hesitation when Chongyun flourishes a scintillating talisman of maya blue, the symbol pulsing with light upon the recognition of a nearby entity.
This isn't an exorcism by any means, he thinks. But it’s close.
He will be erasing the corruption that morphed the entity, not driving the evil, since that evil is still out large. But still, erasing it falls under him needing to use thaumaturgy on the spot.
For the first time. Instead of just sitting and automatically driving negative energies, he actually gets to use what he learned.
And that was—
“Ease in the embrace of light, succumb no further to vice.” he utters, throwing the talisman forward and sprinting with his materialized claymore.
— That was good enough for him.
The manipulated skeleton moves to excrete the same tainting flames, but it freezes midway when the inscribed piece of purifying object marks itself onto the entity’s ribcage.
Not a second later, the exorcist swings his broadsword with a terse battle cry. It easily and sharply cuts through the sturdy wall of flames with the aid of the talisman.
But he doesn’t stop there—his limbs proceed to move in the immersive fluidity taught by his father, delivering the same motion done by fellow exorcists when it comes to erasing the taints of a manifestation.
A small bead of sweat drips from his cheek when he ends the purifying attack with a final brandish of his Archaic.
That…
The thought trails off in his head when he turns back to look at the monstrous form, only to be feed with the sight of a pile of bones. No flames. Just a floating talisman that pulsed with white; an indication of his successful erasure.
That was way more uplifting than I thought it’d be… !
He just-!
Warmth floods his heart when he is fully able to comprehend that he has actually done his first legitimate deed as a part of the clan. It’s not an exorcism by any means, but it’s close!
He didn’t sit around this time. No, he really did something!
His viscus starts throbbing with accumulating heat and he hurriedly places a hand over his chest, as if it will be able to calm him in seconds.
The heat of his Yang is starting to act up again and for the first time, he can’t be bothered!
A ghost of a smile glues itself onto Chongyun’s lips as he stands above the previously negative-encased remnants. Positioning his hands in prayer, he sends a quick farewell.
Ah, he’s so, so giddy!
“Phew! Okay—” he bounces a little on his steps as he hurries to the slope he’d seen the female spirit, “Okay, calm, Chongyun.”
Don’t go overboard, now. He tells himself. He’s tempted to bring out a popsicle, but fears he’ll run out of it.
There are only a few remaining and who knows how long it’ll take to fully exorcise that runaway Yin?
Thank goodness the air is chilly around the desolated village.
Chongyun overlooks the slope and gapes in awe at the odd—yet marvelous—geographical structure.
He’s standing at the very circumference of a hollowed depression on the land, an enormous crater bigger than the entirety of Liyue Harbor.
It even seems larger than Liyue and Mondstadt combined!
Waves of dark energy wafts from beyond the descent and he shakes a bit from it, unaccustomed to such accumulation. Despite it, he stands tall, kissing his teeth with a determined frown.
Even from atop, he can see a bunch of layout of buildings. Ruins, if you will. It feels like the whole place was once a place of civilization, a probable extension of the village.
Ah, but what could the Yin-cursed spirit be doing down there?
He licks his lips.
Only one way to find out.
Pushing his reluctance out of the way, he positions himself steadily on the edge before sliding down the damp slope. Ice builds under his feet, meticulously forming a smooth descent.
He’ll be arriving at a treeline if he continues—wait why are those trees black?
But not even halfway down, a horrified shriek echoes.
“What in the living hell are you doing, Yang?!”
!!
Shocked at the sudden shout, the exorcist stumbles down, barely able to maintain his balance as the cryo stops forming upon the earth.
The slight angle of the land makes it somewhat difficult to stand upright, but he manages, nevertheless.
When he turns around, the [c]-haired spirit is trudging towards him with a scowl that emphasized the cracks on her seemingly porcelain stature.
His natural response is to stiffen because—oh no, resident Yin-spirit looks like she’s about to cut his head off.
Ah. Ah. Ah, that’s bad.
“Tracking you down,” Chongyun replies, although he thinks it sounded more of a question than a statement…
The unnamed girl scoffs in disbelief, slapping a hand on her forehead and groaning out loud. He can only squirm at this.
Why does it feel like she’s spouting insults at him in her head right now?
This dense idiot actually followed me in here! He’s not even aware of what he put himself into! Argh!
You scream inwardly, clenching your fists when you feel the bitter cold numbing your arms. It is a sign of the appearing black flames that will soon decorate your limbs if your annoyance continues.
Breathing slowly and stepping farther from the Yang-blessed exorcist, you rub your temples. Calm down.
When you do, you click your tongue and snarl,
“Good grief. You just signed yourself a contract with evil. Maybe even death, if it’s merciful.”
You watch him frown.
“What do you—”
He is unable to complete his question when a dull color of violet rises from the outline of the gigantic crater you’re both in. Reaching skyward, it shortly encases the whole place with a dome-like coverage.
You roll your eyes with a disappointed shake of your head.
Well, kill me twice, why don’t ‘cha.
You don’t even bother to go after him when he races back up to the top, also not bothering when he attempts to go past it but is unable to.
At least, not when there’s a barrier preventing him from leaving.
He pounds his fists on it with a surprised yelp and you snort wryly.
Meanwhile, Chongyun’s attempts of breaking through the shield are futile. Nothing works, be it physical or elemental affliction. Literally nothing!
“What-” he sucks in his breath as he marvels in fear at how the whole crater is shielded with the same violet hue, “What is this?”
“A sealing art.”
The spirit’s voice enters, though it sounded dull, as if she’s trying to hold herself back from lashing out. It takes him a lot not to show how he’s shaken at the mere sound of her voice.
“Courtesy of previous exorcists, probably. When the potent forces of Yin and Yang clash, a barrier will be conjured, sealing those forces inside.”
A sealing art. He reiterates in his head.
Where has he heard that again? It’s in one of the books he read, he’s certain of it! It is a trick often done by, as that spirit cited, exorcists.
Wait, how does she know that?
These barriers have only one purpose, if he remembers, and that is to…
His eyes start dilating.
Oh.
“Tch,” he goes frigid at the infuriated scowl on the girl’s face, “You know of it, don’t you, Yang?”
Her voice is dripping with so much venom it’s a surprise he isn’t poisoned by now.
Despite the spirit’s obvious wrath, however, he finds himself unbothered—not when this is the exact reason why he has followed her down into this crater.
“That stupid barrier won’t disappear unless one of the forces burns out. That sealing art was for the purpose of a battle with one winner; the triumph of exorcism, or the corruption of malevolence.”
Well! He’s up for a fight. This is what he came for!
The [c]nette grits her teeth at him as if she’s aware of the thoughts running in his head.
“And I told you before, dimwit, I don’t plan to be exorcised just yet. So I’ll be off to try and find a way out of this mess you created,” she turns around to amble to the treeline.
“Or I can hide and wait while you search for me in an attempt to conduct an exorcism. You’ll eventually lose your light to this place that’s reeking with Yin. Get corrupted and lose your morals. That’s a win for us, no?”
A satirical laugh rings in the air before she looks over her shoulder. Her black scleras further emphasize her [c] irises doused in ire.
“The barrier will disappear then and the both of us can get out… only, you would’ve succumbed to the darkening by then.”
His blood runs cold when she laughs again, disappearing in a wisp of black and [c].
“You shouldn’t have followed me, Yang.”
For a moment, his vigor urges him to follow—but then he’s stumped with horror.
Follow her where?
It took him a whole day just to pinpoint her location in the small village, how will he find her here, in a place that’s bigger than two regions combined?!
Oh no. Chongyun swallows thickly, his raw Yang energy pulsing and defensively waving off the negatively thick atmosphere of his surroundings.
That spirit wasn’t lying when she said that this place is full of harmful energy.
I’m doomed.

Lying is supposed to be easy. So why do you make it so hard?
Tumblr media
Pairing: Optimus Prime X Reader
Song: weathers- c'est la vie
Warnings: Bit of angst. Cursing.
An: A character/story idea I may never write. Let me know what all of you think!
A cigarette hangs loosely from thier lips. Unlit. The lighter they had pulled out wove around thier fingers. Y/n's mind still undecided if they wanted it lit or not. Granted, it wasn't a normal cigarette. Herbal. Some sort of lavender and chamomile medley.
They had promised to quite long ago. But some habits die hard and it's easier to find an alternative than fall back on old vices.
Thier hands shook slightly as they finally brought the lighter to the cigarette. On hand curling protectively around the flame and the wind howled around then.
Rain fell heavily down to the earth. The first rain in Jasper Nevada since god knows when. They needed it. Desperate for it.
God's knew they missed it. Some old memory locked away in thier mind. Cobwebs dusted away from thier not to long ago childhood.
They were barely into thier adulthood. Some would say.
It doesn't matter.
Smoke spilled out from between thier lips. Curling around and drifting into the cool air.
Thunder roared from the dark clouds. A sounding trumpet for lighting to follow.
Y/n's old chevy rattled with it. Thier heater sputtering a few times before finally giving up. Soon blasting cool air instead. They cursed. Smacking the dashboard.
"Mother fucker." They hung thier hand out the window. The cigarette almost put out by the wind. "First the fucking tire then this." Y/n hisses through thier teeth. They smack the dashboard one more time. "Last time I let someone else work on you." They turn the truck off. The silence sudden and heavy broken only by the rumbling thunder and rain smacking against the trucks roof.
Y/n checks thier phone. It was six now. Two more hours before nightfall. The tow company said they be here four hours ago. They wonder if the company decided to stay because if the rain. Wait for it to pass. Maybe this wind knocked down a power pole or two.
Or maybe the company was just lazy.
Y/n's stomach growled and they glanced over at the take out in the worn seat next to them. Chicken teriyaki and rice. Should they eat now? Probably. Before it got cold.
They blew out another huff of smoke. The window frame was wet now. As well as part of thier leg. They smashed the end of the cigarette into the ashtray and rolled thier window up. The hand crank sticking momentarily before letting go with a squeak.
They began to eat. Still keeping an eye out for the tow truck in the rapidly dimming light.
Halfway through eating thier phone buzzed. Rattling across the dashboard and onto the floor. Cursing they swallowed thickly and sputtered. Clearing thier throat before answering.
"Hello?" The phone cracked in and out. Reception was spotty this far out if town.
"We..... Can't..... Unable." Thier phone screen lit up. They held it out in front of then. The screen cracked. Obscuring part of what they could see. They looked at the number on the phone. Then to the one on the crumpled piece of paper.
"You have to be shitting me." They tossed the styrofoam back into the seat. The plastic fork falled to the ground. It was the tow company.
The bastards. Couldn't have called sooner.
Fuck it. They'd walk home and tow it themselves in the morning. Before work.
Or at least they would have if it weren't for the rumbling semi heading thier way. It came to a stop next to them. Engine deep and rumbling. It was fake. They knew. Ment to imitate earth's vehicles.
Thier phone rang. An image flashed across the screen with the caller id. Optimus. He had looked all to peaceful in that field to not take a picture.
"Hey Big Guy." They chuckled.
"Y/n. Hello. Is everything alright?" Y/n snorted. Oh fucking peachy they were. First they were late for work. Got yelled at by thier boss for shit they didn't do. Had thier piece of shit phone stolen so they had to go fucking find it. Paid sixty bucks to get it back. Had some dickhead think they didn't know shit about vehicles so they tried to scam them.
And the list goes on.
They looked over at the semi as they spoke.
"I'm fine Prime." Optimus rocked on his wheels.
"Are you sure? I was unaware one could drive with a blown tire." Y/n scoffed. Brows shooting upwards with disbelief.
"You sarcastic-" They cut themselves off. "You here to make fun of me?" The truck rumbled.
"No. I'm here offer help." He paused. "You have been here for over six hours." How. Oh ya. Patrol. They forgot he frequently came through here to and from base.
"I. Ya. I could use the help." They hated admitting that. That they needed help. They knew they could manage and y/n always felt like they owed the person back.
Optimus pulled in front of their chevy. An unspoken "I'll tow you" hung in the air. He would. Optimus knew they would come back shortly to get their truck back. Might as well help so they don't try to do it in the dark.
They were shivering and slightly soaked when they finally got in the driver's seat. Optimus wordlessly turns the heater on. Angling the vents to point at them.
"Sorry for tracking water in." Y/n muttered. Doing their best to wipe off any excess water that got inside.
"There's no need for apologies." The semi pulled away from the side of the road and began to drive. Slightly clicking gears as he rumbles downwards. Rain splattered across the windshield. Wipers working overtime to keep it away. They new it was more for them than him.
His headlights were dim, they noticed. Barley lighting up the old gray road.
It was silent. Comfortable.
It was dark now. Even more so without the full moon. Heavy cloads still cloaking the sky.
"Are the kids home?" Y/n broke the silence.
"Yes. I had to drop Rafael off at home." That's right. Bumblebee has been busy on a scouting mission. He's supposed to be back tomorrow. Short. By cybertronian standards.
It's been almost a month for us.
There's was flashing in the distance. Orange hues erie in the heavy rain. They can make out more shapes the closer they get. A red blob turning into a car. Two small blurs turned out to be a couple.
Optimus stops next to them at their urging.
Y/n hope out immediately. The rain quickly soaking through their thin shirt.
"What seems to be the matter?" Y/n asks. A woman turns around. Hand on her obviously pregnant belly. "Well shit." They mutter.
"Our tire blew out on the way to Jasper." The woman brushes a few strands of soaked hair out of her face. "Me and my son can't seem to get the tire changed. We umm." They look over at their kid. Some tiny teen trying to pull the bolts off the best they could. The car wast quite high enough off the ground either.
"Do you want help?" They already began rolling their soaked sleeves up thier arm. A simple tattoo wove from thier wrist up to thier elbow. A memento from a close friend. The woman nodded vigorously.
"Yes please." Y/n points the woman towards Optimus. They hope he wouldn't mind.
"Please Ma'am. I don't want you catching cold." Her cheeks flush. "The kid can help if they want. But they can get out of the rain if they want." The kid grins at them, missing one or two front teeth.
"I can help!" Y/n chuckles and pulls the tire iron gently from thier hands.
"Well then. Let's get going." They popped the bolts off one by one. They themselves straining despite the fact that could easily toss tires like these around. Y/n lifted weights to get stronger and boxed to defend themselves. Thier muscles flexing beneath thier shirt a testament to that.
"God. Who stuck these fu-friggen things on." The kid laughed.
"My cousin." Well damn.
It took a few moments and a bashed finger later to change the tire. Y/n was thoroughly soaked by the time they finished. Practically drowning from the rain.
They helped the women down and out from Optimus. Both of them none the wiser to the alien next to them.
The two got into the car and drove off. Y/n watches as the car gets smaller and smaller until the rain completely obscures thier view.
They grab into the handle next to Optimus's door and hoists themselves up. Smacking thier boots to get off any mud or debris before getting inside.
"Well now I'm even more wet." Y/n snorts and peels thier shirt off. They had a tank top underneath. It sticks to thier skin uncomfortably.
Optimus hums. The deep sound rumbling in the cab. Y/n pats thier pockets fully intending to light another cigarette before remembering where they're at. More precisely, who, they are with.
Instead they pull out a stick of gum. The minty flavor almost overpowering.
Optimus hums again. A sign they've come to find, was of him thinking. A habit he never broke of even after becoming Optimus Prime. Perks of being his charge they guessed.
They never knew why he did that. Became thier guardian. Y/n was well enough an adult. Had a house, payed the bills. They never understood and didn't plan on it anytime soon. Optimus was Optimus and he does what he does. He was one of the few people they never second guess thier opinion.
They held a lot of respect for the old mech.
More so than a lot of people in thier life. They wondered if he knew that. He could tell them to leap off a cliff and they would. Trusting him to be there to catch them.
It took a lot to earn that trust. And they had given it to him. With shaking palms and to high walls.
'Here'. Their actions said. 'Here is the key. Open the door and you hurt me. Guard it. Please. Because I am unable to anymore.'
And Optimus did. Because Optimus is Optimus. A being to good for this world.
Y/n had a scar that reached from thier shoulder to the small of thier back. It would have killed them if Optimus didn't step in. They got the relic. Optimus got thier trust and friendship.
"You do that often." Y/n head jerks up from where it had been resting against the window. Startled from thier thought.
"Do what, Prime?" Optimus slowed down. Rolling to a general stop at the battered stop sign.
"Help others without question. Despite it often being inconvenient for you." Y/n pops thier gum. Thinking.
They never really thought about it. They just did what felt right.
"And?" They scratch at thier neck.
"Why?" A simple one word question. Might as well been a loaded gun. They knew exactly where he was taking this.
"Because I can. Because it's the right thing to do. Because I'd want someone to do it for my friends and family." Optimus rumbled his engine. Pulling off to the side of the road.
Son of a bitch. He's gonna make them do feelings now?
Last time it was from a simple, yet self deprecating joke. Last thing they will joke about around him again was being dumber than a box of rocks. Who knew the old guy could be so silently, and heavily caring without a single word.
"And what about you? Would you not like help as well?"
The rain lessened to a drizzle now. No way we're they gonna do this shit. Not again. Don't make them face things yet.
Y/n reaches to open the door.
Optimus locks it shut.
"Fucken hell man." They mutter. Not for the last time they began wishing for an actual cigarette.
"Hmm." They sunk down in the driver's seat uselessly pushing at the gas pedal urging for him to go on.
"You can ask. You do know this." Y/n chuckles.
"I did." They wave thier hand at the steering wheel. "I called the tow company. Not my fault they didn't call me till forever later." Optimus sinks down on his tires. If they don't wrap this up now and tell him what he wants to here they'll be here forever.
But he can tell when they're lying.
They both loath and like it.
They can be truthful to him. But sometimes it hurts. Because he makes them feel. He makes them know.
They're people to. And they deserve so much more that they give themselves.
Deserve more than the punishing pace they put themselves through.
"And no one else? What would you have done after?" Y/n shrugged thier shoulders.
"Walked home and make tomorrow me deal with it. They're a bitch in the morning but they get shit done."
Shit.
"And you would call no one? Again?" They shake their head.
"It's just a tow Optimus. Not me bleeding the fuck out." They feel bad. A sour taste in thier mouth as they bite their answer out.
"You where feverish and unable to walk last time." His voice was low. Almost sad. He was upset without showing it.
He cares. Cares so much.
He cares enough about me for the both of us.
"It's fine."
"No."
"I.." I shiver. The heater turns on. "Lying 'spose to be easy. Why do you make it so fucking hard." Optimus rumbles.
"Because you care." He's right.
"And so do I. I am here. Always. No matter what. No matter how trivial you think it is Y/n. I am here. And, as you like to say, I am stuck to your side whether you like it or not." He begins to drive. His words stick to me.
"I know. It's hard." Its hard when you don't think you deserve it. Any of it.
I lay my hand on the center of the steering wheel.
"I know. I know. But I will tell you again and again. Until you truly believe it y/n."
I was lost before him.
God's I hate that he makes me feel. Feel more than I ever have. But he got me to quite one bad habit. And he's working on the other.

Experiment 05SB
Alternatively titled “I’m sorry 2B don’t hate me please”
I hath given in to the M4dc0m brain rot at the cost of me now having written a 7k+ word fic because I’m not confident enough in my art skills to draw it at the moment. Here we go!
Oh, there’s also implied fatal in this (it’s of unnamed characters, plus this is M4dc0m, but I’ve gotta say it. I guess you could take it as reformation if you really wanted to.). Mentions of blood I guess?
As always, Vore under the cut :)
“Ey 2b? You there?” Deimos’s voice crackled to life through the plastic earpiece currently jammed into his left ear, yanking the hacker and unofficial ‘team medic’ as he was called once (much to his own confusion. Sure, he knew basic medical but by no means was he any sort of doctor) back into reality. A brief moment passed in the silence of his room, more often called ‘the lab’, of their base before everything came crashing back at once. Deimos, Sanford, and Hank were out raiding a A.A.H.W warehouse at his instruction. Meaning he was alone in their base, also known as a breaking down appartement they had taken shelter in. It had electricity and provided shelter from the harsh hell scape that had once been the state of Nevada. A dark red sunless sky overhead, vegetation and any ecosystems completely wiped out from what they’d seen, bandits and zeds equally ready to eat the nearest person if it meant living another day, the Agency hunting you down if they thought you’d possibly be working against them or with the infamous Hank J. Wimbleton, and having little to no essential resources for days at a time to top it all off like some twisted cherry on this sick cake. Home sweet fucking home.
“Doc? Helllloooo?” Shit, right. Deimos.
“Sorry, I’m here. What is it Deimos?”
“And the medic lives!” The small cheer was accompanied by laughter from the smallest member of the team. Jebus, how was he able to joke in even the most dire situations?
“Just get to the point, chucklehead.” 2b could hear Sanford add in over the static, the man’s laughter just barely making it to tired ears.
“Right right, sorry man. Anyway, if we wanted to get food on the way back would you say no?” Pardon? There was no way he was hearing that right. There were several reasons why he couldn’t be hearing that right. A. food wasn’t by any means the easiest thing to come by in this hellhole, B. restaurants weren’t really a common thing anymore so those were out of the picture, and C. there’s no way they could p- actually, scratch that last one. Robbing a corpse wouldn’t be the weirdest thing that those three had done. Not by a long shot. Still though, how was he supposed to respond to that request?
“…what?” Apparently by asking the first word on his mind.
“We saw that one hotdog vendor on the way here and we’re all starving. Can we or can we not get hotdogs on the way back?” Oh. That’s what Deimos ment. How on earth had that hotdog vendor not been killed yet?
“Is this a genuine ‘we’ or is it a ‘me’, Deimos?” That seemed like a more fair and answerable question.
“Hey I-!”
“It’s a genuine ‘we’ Doc,” Sanford’s voice chimed in. By the cursing in the background 2b could imagine that he had flipped up Deimos’s mic to temporarily mute him in the realm of their earpieces. “Pretty sure one of our stomachs gave us away to the last group of agents we had to take out. Not gonna point fingers but I’m pretty sure it was Hank- Ack! I’m just saying!”
“Thought we weren’t pointing fingers.” There was the third voice. Rough from years of fighting yet still all too recognizable as Hank. The same Hank J. Wimbleton on the wanted posters that scattered the walls of almost every nearby building, wanted dead by the Auditor and his whole agency. He must’ve smacked Sanford for his comment. Well at least he didn’t do worse, whether on purpose or accident.
“We aren’t. Now Cmon Doc, you never answered my question.” Hearing the other hacker’s voice ask for an answer again 2b sighed. Always eager, wasn’t he? How the man had seemingly endless energy on missions would forever remain a mystery to him, Jebus be damned.
“I don’t really care what you do on the way back so long as you all come back in one piece and with the stuff I sent you there for. Understood?”
“Aye aye, Captain Doc! Over and out!” And there they went. The earpiece went dead, leaving 2b on his own once again once he flicked up his own mic. Back to silence. Sweet sweet silence. It wasn’t often they got that in their shared apartment of a base. Someone was always awake, someone was always saying something. It was never really quiet unless you were lucky enough to be the only one awake. 2BDamned had seen plenty of those rare times, if only because he overworked himself and didn’t sleep. So maybe it was one of his less than desirable qualities, when living in a hellscape being ten steps ahead of the agency trying to kill you is always good. He had to keep that up, on top of keeping the others alive and well.
And then there was his little experiment. That also was taking a toll on how little he slept. Not all that long ago the trio had returned from a mission with the data he had requested and more. Specifically a duffel bag full of seemingly shrunken grunts and two only slightly bigger shrunken MAGs. Pft, how funny it was to say that. A shrunken MAG. Hell, he wouldn’t believe it if you told him with no proof. The idea seemed insane. Oh but it wasn't. Not by a long shot if the cages sitting on one of his tables said anything. Normally he’d call such a thing like keeping people in cages inhumane, not that there were many humane things in this hellhole to begin with. He’d expect keeping them in cages that probably used to be for pets to be a move pulled by the Agency, not himself, however he had to make do with what they could find and had access to. Also known as: not much at all. He wanted to study them after all. Letting them free was just not an option.
Now that probably sounds bad, studying living beings like himself, but one couldn’t blame 2b when you considered his situation (at least he hopes one couldn’t). Somehow the Agency found a way to shrink living beings. That’s power that could be used against him and the others to make everything turn for the worst, something which he wanted to avoid at all costs. However, if one of his teammates or himself were to be shrunken on a mission it would be possibly lifesaving to know how to reverse the effects. Plus, having the power to shrink enemies on their side could certainly prove useful. All that being said, he needed these few alive in order to try and figure out what caused them to be how they were. Hence the repurposed, beat up pet cages. Two of them to be exact. One held the grunts and the other for the two MAG agents. None of them had killed each other yet, so that was nice. A few simple experiments and a dissection of a grunt that had been dead upon arrival to him proved that they still functioned as they would if they were their normal size. Just on a smaller scale. He had sent Hank, Deimos, and Sanford out for supplies today, yes, though if they found any information regarding the shrinking of their little ‘guests’ then they were to bring it to him. With no information on that though, he had to continue his other work. Tired eyes met the screen through red goggles. Moments later his head found itself cushioned in the crook of one of his arms.
“What the hell.” 2b grumbled, a fresh headache slowly starting to pound against the inside of his skull. What the hell was up with him? He should be fine. This was only his second day without proper ‘longer-then-15-minutes’ sleep. He’d gone longer before, he should be able to function. Why was the screen giving him such a headache now of all times? He needed to get stuff done. He needed to finish up this…this……what was he working on again? Hold on, no, he should remember. This shouldn’t be slipping his mind like it is. Maybe if he just thought back a few minutes. It would come back to him, right?
“Ok right before Deimos called, what was I doing?” 2b thought out loud to himself, trying his hardest to recall what had happened prior to the call from his allies. ”I was sitting here…then Deimos called in. Wait, no. Go back. From the top. Since…however long ago I’ve been sitting here, working on…what was I working on before Deimos asked about getting food? I sent them on the raid, didn’t eat, got to work and- no. That’s not it. Why can’t I just-“
Gggnnnnnnrrrr…
Oh well fuck him. That’s why he couldn’t focus. 2b groaned, not bothering to hide the noise as of now. He was alone, no one would hear him or tease him. Unless you would count the shrunken men in the cages, however it wasn’t likely they’d say anything. When you’re the size of a rat, spare the MAGs who were more rabbit sized, to your captor pissing them off seemed like the worst thing one could do. Clearly the hacker wasn’t at all in the mood to deal with teasing, so their mouths remained shut. That left 2b alone to deal with his complaining stomach, a feat which proved easier said than done when one was going off a day and a half without properly sleeping. He couldn’t even remember the last time he ate something. It was all just fuzzing together at this point.
Pushing himself off his desk 2b flopped back into the worn chair he’d been sitting in for God knows how long. Relaxing into the backrest was certainly more comfortable than being hunched over a laptop screen typing away like he had been for the past day or two. A hand fell to rest over his stomach while the other removed his goggles. Those were not helping the blooming headache. A low growl from his stomach drew a small hiss through his teeth, the sound being accompanied by a familiar empty cramping.
“Oh you can shut up.” He grumbled at the organ half heartedly, “It’s not like I can eat anything right now. There’s a reason I sent Hank and the others out.” His stomach growled back, the empty sound ringing in the hacker’s ears. He needed to eat, that was undeniable. The problem was getting something to eat. He had few options, none of which he particularly liked. Option 1. going out to look for something even slightly edible on his own, option 2. wait and hope the others found and brought back food, or option 3. contact the others through his headset and ask them to get him something on the way back. The first option was clearly undesirable on its own and the other two weren’t much better. Sure, asking them to grab something for him would probably be easiest and most logical, however he was almost certain that they didn’t want to hear that out of the blue in the middle of a fight. That and he didn’t want to deal with any teasing that might come along with asking. He wasn’t about to take that chance when he had things to do. He couldn’t remember those things at the moment, sure, but they were still things he had to do! So asking was not an available option at the moment. That left waiting and hoping for the best.
Rrrrrrrnnngggggg….
“I know. I don’t like the idea either.” 2b sighed as he spun around in his chair, gently patting his stomach. He needed to get out of his chair, even if it was just a walk around his room. He needed something after a day and a half straight of sitting there hunched over staring at a screen. Maybe it’d help with the headache if he was lucky. Probably wouldn’t but hey a man could dream. With a small grunt of effort the hacker found himself on his feet, his balance wobbling and legs feeling like brittle pasta beneath him. Ah, that's what I wanted to do earlier. Go figure taking breaks gets ignored by my brain. “However, I do believe it’ll end with the best result. I’m sure they’ll be home soon anyway.”
They wouldn’t. That was a lie, to himself and to his stomach alike. He likely had a few more hours alone, maybe two at least. The A.A.H.W warehouse he’d sent them to was big and if you account for fighting delays and them stopping on the way back then the chance of them being back in the next two hours would be some sort of miracle. By the way his stomach reacted every time he brushed over the thought that the trio was getting food on the way back then he wasn’t going to be looking so hot by the time they arrived back. Oh he was going to get the short end of the stick no matter what he did, wasn’t he? Talk about luck. 2b sighed, running a hand up and through his hair as he walked along one of the walls of his small room. His stomach clearly wasn’t shutting up any time soon so the next best course of action would be to ignore it. Maybe that would help him wait it out. What could he focus on? There was work, he could clean up a little bit maybe, or he could focus on the rattling coming from the cages and-
Hold on.
That most certainly wasn’t right. 2b cocked an eyebrow, crossing the room to where the three cages were placed. Quite the interesting scene was playing out before him. From what he could see a few of the shrunken grunts were teaming up to try and break out of the cages. This wasn’t their first little escape attempt, no, but it interested him enough as he stood there watching and attempting to grab his tablet at the same time. Eventually he had succeeded, opening up a new document to scribble down a few notes.
Title: Log 073SB
Time: 6:34 pm, xx/xx/xx
Author: 2BDamned
Note: Grunts working together to attempt escape. MAG agent seems to be attempting to cause a distraction by rattling the wall of the cage. Or perhaps they just want out. Very annoying either way. None seem bothered by my presence.
Satisfied with his little note, 2b closed the tablet and set it down on the counter next to one of the cages. Whether it was him being too rough with setting the tablet down or the low grumble from his stomach that startled the cage of grunts was up for debate, but currently he couldn’t find it in himself to care. Right now he needed to have a chat with the little troublemakers. Without hesitation the unofficial medic reached forward, opening the little hinged door located on top of the cage with ease compared to what the grunts inside were attempting before. He didn’t think twice before he reached in and grabbed the two topmost grunts from the pile of attempted escapees before retracting his hand, repeating the process with his other hand, and finally closing the cage. Hands now full, each holding two fighting bodies, the hacker sighed.
“Escape huh? How many times have you already tried that and it didn’t work?” 2b asked, a less than impressed tone lacing his voice. Sure, he needed a distraction from his stomach but he didn’t want to have to deal with escape attempts left and right for the next however long. “What made you think it’d go any different this time?”
There was a moment of silence before a soft voice spoke up, one that clearly hadn’t been used recently. One of the grunts in his left hand. “W-we figured i-if we actually tried and w-worked together then maybe we’d b-be able to manage a successful…e-escape…”
“Really now? Interesting.” 2b mumbled, looking over the grunt in his hand. They were all so small. You’d think he’d have gotten used to their size by now but every time he held one it seemed to slap him in the face. Offing them if they got too rowdy wouldn’t be hard at all. Wouldn’t need to use anything to begin with. How crazy it was. “Though I’m not sure I can let this slide as I have with previous instances.”
“W-what?” His response seemed to temporarily stun the four in his hands, most likely because of how it was different from his previous comments on their attempted escapes. A shiver passed over them like a wave while the hacker only nodded.
“Your previous attempts at escape. While I can understand why one would try I’ve made it quite clear that successful escapes won’t be happening nor tolerated, correct? I need to prove my point here because you all clearly don’t understand words.” He shifted on his feet slightly, a new question wracking his brain. What could he do to show he wasn’t going to deal with constant escape attempts? It had to be something that stuck, seeing as they clearly didn’t understand his earlier comments about escape not being tolerated. Only a few moments of silence passed before his lips were moving again. “You four are going somewhere else. A stronger holding space. If any of the others try anything they’ll join you. Simple, yet effective.” Or it would be if he knew exactly where he planned to stick these four. What did he have that could serve as a stronger cell for them? The cages were already pretty secure in terms of what he could work with. He just needed something stronger, close to him, hard to escape, and threatening that held a sense of danger with it. But what could that be? His eyes darted around the makeshift lab, trying to find something.
Grrrrroowwwllll…
2b’s eyes slowly scanned down from his shaking captives to his stomach. For a moment he just stared, eyes lacking any readable emotion. Well now that was certainly an option. It fit his criteria. Almost too well. Strong, hard to escape, close to him, and it held a sense of danger. Under his mask his torn and scared lips quirked up into a little smirk. “Mmhm. That’ll do quite nicely, in fact~”
The final moments of peace were shattered as the meaning of his words collided with his captives like a well aimed punch to the gut. Hearts sunk to their feet like rocks in water, despair rearing it’s head in their struggles. Those fortunate enough to remain in the cages simply watched with a muted horror as the four bodies were tossed onto the table and held down with little to no effort. The hacker wasted no time removing the mask and bandages that usually covered his mouth, tossing the fabrics haphazardly beside his discarded tablet. Despite the word fresh being the last thing he’d use to describe the Nevada air, 2b knew he’d be lying if he said it wasn’t nice to just breathe the air in alone and not through the layers of fabric like he often did. With the temporary roadblock now gone his eyes drifted downward to the bodies pinned beneath his hand.
“Well, I believe that eliminates any preventable issues we could encounter here.” He hummed softly, plucking the grunt who was covered by his hand the least up into the air. It certainly was odd to watch the little body squirm and fight against him, all attacks on the two fingers holding it proving futile. Their only hope seemed to be 2b letting them go, something which proved less and less likely the longer they studied the look in the hackers eyes. It wasn’t a look one ever wanted to find themself on the receiving end of. The sight of sharp teeth, glimmering with saliva through grinning lips, certainly did not help to lower the grunt’s heart rate at all. 2b simply clicked his tongue. “Meaning stalling time is up. Stay still, won’t you?”
The grunt did not, in fact, stay still. It was impossible to do so as far as they knew when you had a spit soaked tongue dragging up every inch of your front, sharp daggers of teeth only millimeters from their face. A deafening silence washed over the others, only being broken by a small pleased hum from their normal sized captor.
“Not bad…” the man mumbled, dragging his tongue up the squirming grunt yet again. A small voice in the back of his mind, his voice of reason, yelled out the obvious loud and clear to him plenty of times: this was wrong. It wasn’t right to be doing what he was about to do. This was stooping down to the bandits level, something he never intended to do unless absolutely necessary. He shouldn’t be enjoying the taste of another living being like this. And yet…here he was. Ignoring any logic and reason in his mind to proceed with this. Thank goodness he was alone. 2b didn’t even want to think about what the others might say if they were to see him how he was now. Shaking his head softly he shoved away the thought, opening his jaw as far as the joint and scarred tissue that made up his cheeks would allow. He wasn’t sure whether to be impressed or concerned with how easily the small body slipped into his mouth.
Despite their best efforts to squirm free of their new confinement, the slippery surroundings of the unofficial doctor’s maw proved to have horrible traction. Saliva dropped onto the unfortunate grunt’s head from above while they desperately tried to crawl out of the dark cavern. Feet scrambled on the soaked surface of their predator’s tongue as the muscle moved and flipped them around as if they were some piece of candy, all while their hands desperately tried to keep as little of them between the axe like teeth. One bite and they were done for, a terrifying thought. Through it all only three sounds were ever heard from those lucky enough to not be in the current grunt’s position. The sickening sounds of soaked struggle, terrified yelps from the grunt stuck within 2b’s jaws, and the occasional hum from the man himself. The torture, as those watching from the cage would describe it, seemed to continue for hours and hours on end.
Glk
Glp~
Until it all stopped with two simple swallows and a collective gasp of horror from those watching. The relaxed posture of the man they all watched failed to help their situation.
“H….huhh…that was..” the uncertified medic breathed, breaking the silence. His free hand lazily felt down his throat, tracing where he could feel the squirming body slip further down by the second. It didn’t take a genius to decipher that the less angry sounding gurgle from the man’s stomach signaled the end of the unfortunate grunt’s descent. With eyes widened just beyond his natural look 2b gently pressed his stomach. How interesting it was, as morbid as it might sound, to feel something squirming around inside the organ. Before he could even stop to consider a better way to word his thoughts, he finished his sentence. Just not in the way the grunts wanted to hear. “…incredibly easy.”
The last thing any of the remaining grunts wanted to see was those eyes scan up slowly before locking on them as if they were some sort of dessert. The clearly out of place smile on the man’s face didn’t help the feeling of impending doom either. If anything it only made it worse as a rough hand plucked another grunt from the selected three that had remained under his hand. Down, beneath his newfound curiosity and odd urge to continue what he was doing, 2b knew he should have been more concerned about how easy this was coming to him. No sane person would take so calmly to swallowing living beings, especially not of his own kind. Yet here he was, smirking as he licked over his scarred lips with cold eyes locked onto the small shaking body like a cat would after spotting a mouse. Looking at their sizes in comparison to one another? The simile was scarily accurate. Through his whole little mental debate the hacker found it all too easy to slip the small body into his mouth, licking it over to draw out as much of that strangely addicting taste before slowly beginning to nudge it back. Just bit by bit until it was far enough.
Glrk
Grk~
“Two down…haahhh…two to go…” the hacker sighed as he traced the lump down his throat. There was a waiting period once more but it didn’t last long before the shiver inducing gurgle signified where the poor soul had ended up. How the man hadn’t gotten sick yet was beyond the understanding of those who witnessed the event and even the man himself. Surely he should feel at least a little nauseous with two rat sized bodies squirming within his stomach. Nausea and fullness were the two sensations he had expected by now and yet neither had shown their face yet. Deep within his mind, from an area he didn’t even know existed until it spoke, a voice urged him to test his limits. 2b had shaken that idea off nearly immediately. As….enticing as that idea was, he still needed a few of the shrunken grunts alive and well to continue his attempts to recreate and reverse however the Agency had shrunken them before. Four however….well that wasn’t the biggest loss in the world if something happened to go wrong. Leaning a little more heavily over the table he grabbed one of the last two grunts, shoving the struggling body into his mouth head first. Quite the sight it was to watch flailing legs be slurped into someone’s mouth like nothing more than wet noodles. Interesting and horrifying.
Glp
Glrk~
Though compared to seeing someone who had been beside you ten minutes ago disappear down your captor’s throat as nothing more than a barely visible lump would top it in the scarring scale. Nothing could compare to that sight. Good god was it terrifying. The reality that escape was impossible was all but cemented into the remaining grunts' brains now, as that had been what had gotten their companions into this situation in the first place. This was happening because their capturer wanted to prove his point that attempted escape would not be tolerated. At this point they were convinced they’d have to have a death wish to attempt escape now. Especially when their conditions weren’t horrible compared to what they could be in, something which hadn’t crossed their minds till now. Now don’t take their words wrong, by no means did they want to stay here. Especially not now. However, if it meant living another day and not ending up as lunch? Staying definitely was the preferable option.
“One to go. Damn.” The hacker's voice snapped all attention back to him. His position had changed, now leaning back on the table as he looked over the struggling form in his hands. The words seemed to flow from his mouth without too much thought needed behind them. They just felt…right. It was a feeling he never expected to experience in such a context that he was now, much less to have it almost piloting him as it felt now, but he was nearly willing to say he welcomed it. He wasn't well acquainted with the idea of eating living beings after all, so the subconscious help to ease the process along wasn’t something he’d push away. Not unless it were to cause an issue that is. However, nothing of the sort had happened yet, meaning he was going to keep letting his actions flow naturally.
Just as he had with the three before this one, 2b wasted little time starting towards his goal. Raising the grunt just above his head the man dangled the flailing body over his open mouth, a sight that he could assume would terrify anyone in the grunt’s position. All went smoothly as he lowered the small body in. That is until the grunt, having seen an opportunity and taken it, grabbed and yanked down his mic. While he tried to react as quickly as possible, he could only pray the microphone had not managed to pick up the gag he’d made after panic and shock had caused him to jolt forward and send the grunt to the back of his throat. He flipped up the mic as fast as he could, trying to determine the best course of action one could take with a squirming body halfway down their throat and a possibility of having just been ratted out to the others by their lunch. He was screwed were they to find out, what with how at least two of the three always seemed to be looking for teasing ammunition. That and this….well this wasn’t exactly normal, you know.
“Doc? Is everything ok over there?” Fuck. That wasn’t good. Ignoring the sinking feeling of dread in his chest the best he could, 2b took a deep breath and forced the fourth grunt down with a swallow that took a little more effort then he felt it should’ve. Flipping down the mic, he answered.
“Damnit- yes. I'm fine, Sanford. Don’t worry.” The sentence had to be his least convincing lie yet. Between his heavy breathing and dryness in his throat he could tell his voice wasn’t helping him in any way. Now he didn’t take his teammates for idiots, despite how it sure seemed like they were sometimes, but in the moment he found himself wishing they were.
“You sure? You don’t sound all that fine. Did something happen back at base?” The worry beginning to lace the man’s voice through the static filled earpiece only served to worsen the feeling of dread in 2b’s chest. He needed to get Sanford, and the others who were no doubt listening, off the idea something had happened. He needed to deal with the whole I-just-swallowed-four-people-alive thing before they came back, so them returning early was not in the plan.
“No, nothing happened.” He shot back, only realizing the speed in his voice wasn’t too reassuring after he said it. Ok, what was a believable excuse for why he sounded like he did? “I just…spilt coffee on my legs after burning my mouth. Must’ve knocked the mic down in the process.” With a hand to his chest the hacker forced a soft swallow, trying to at least get rid of the uncomfortable dryness that had settled in the back of his throat. Please say they believed that.
“Pft, really? Damn, wish I could’ve seen that. Think you looked like one of those old cartoons, Doc?” Phew, crisis averted.
“Real funny, Deimos. Get back to your mission.” 2b shook his head at the comment. At least they seemed to believe him. It was worth it, even if the mental image of those over exaggerated cartoon characters was now going to show up whenever he even slightly burnt his mouth on coffee. Oh well, some sacrifices must be made.
“Alright alright. We’re going.” The man on the other end laughed. Those idiots. Damn his heart caring for them, now he was attached. “See you when we get back. Over and out, Doc!” And there they went.
Fighting off his own soft laughter, 2b flipped up his mic. A soft sigh escaped him before he could even think to stop it. That could’ve been horrible. While one hand softly rubbed at his neck, sore from what he had to guess was the miniature disaster that just took place, the other gently laid itself over his stomach. The four inside never seemed to stop moving, constantly squirming and slipping about. There were a handful of reasons he could assume was the cause, though the most likely was that being shoved into a soaking wet moving sack with three of your colleagues provided little traction or ability to get comfortable. That and panic. Panic was probably a rather big factor in how they were feeling. 2b, on the other hand, had to be feeling the exact opposite of how they were. The warm weight of his four ‘victims’ was a welcome sensation within the previously empty pit of his stomach. As twisted as he knew it sounded, he would’ve been confident saying that what he was feeling was honestly satisfactory. Why having living beings stretch and actually round out his stomach in a barely noticeable way was causing this feeling was a mystery to him, but at the moment he couldn’t find it in himself to care. Not when it felt this nice.
“I hope I’ve made my point clear.” The unofficial medic hummed, looking over to the grunt filled cage. They had backed away from him by now, huddled in the back most corner of their confines. The sight drew a genuine laugh from the man they all seemed to fear ten times more than before. Well that was proof if he’d ever seen it. Looks like their escape wasn’t something he had to worry about any more. So maybe he sacrificed a little of his ‘I’m not going to hurt you’ act for this. It was worth it in his eyes. And besides, he was probably the most gentle with them out of his whole little gang. If they wanted to be left with one of the others then go ahead. Although being left with the mercenary who you were created to kill didn’t sound like the most fun time to him. Smirking, he collected his goggles, mask, and tablet from the table. “It seems I have. Glad we could have this little -hic!- chat. Heh.”
He gave the cage a pat, the rattling of the metal only serving to scare the grunts further back in the ball of bodies they’d curled into, before turning to walk back to his desk. He needed to sit down. Standing apparently became a lot harder when you had four people fighting against your insides. Thinking back, he didn’t know what he would have expected. Did he stumble a little bit trying to get back to his desk? Yes, he did. It was like he forgot how to walk in all honesty. Another reason he was glad he was alone in their base. Like most things though it proved worth it when he finally collapsed into the worn chair he used for work. Without thinking twice he opened his tablet and started a new log.
—————————
“Doc! We’re back!” The call rang out through the appartement, followed by three sets of footsteps marching their way in and the door slamming shut perhaps a little stronger than needed. As the hinges of the door stopped rattling the three expected to hear a displeased groan, followed by the ruffled form of 2b appearing in the hallway to scold them for being so aggressive or something like tracking blood into the base. Honestly, why he still bothered was a mystery to them, at least Sanford and Deimos for they had zero clue what went on in Hank’s head, for the most part. They were mercenaries, fighters, people looking to not end up with their brains splattered on the wall or something worse. They were going to be bloody upon returning, even if that blood wasn’t their own. It wasn’t like their floors were carpet or anything either. In the end though they never bothered to fight the scoldings. No use making the unofficial medic mad, especially if they needed help. The lack of disgruntled medic in the hallway or at least yelling when silence returned to the room was worrying. After a minute or two with nothing spoken and no ruffled hacker to be seen, Deimos tried again to call him.
“2b?” He called out, peering down the hallway which led to their rooms. There wasn’t any blood on the walls, a good sign to start, and no bullet holes that weren’t there before. Unless the Agency suddenly learned how to do stealth missions, something he and he knew the other two were hoping wasn’t the case, he had hopes. Again, no response from the man. Gun still in his hand he took one glance back to the others, a silent ‘follow me’, before continuing down the hallway. Although Deimos had made it to the closed door first he’d been pushed past by the red goggle wearing giant as he reached for the doorknob. Hank had been the one to open the door to 2b’s room. He’d also been the first of the trio to feel the tension in his shoulders drop. It wasn’t long after he had relaxed that he was shoved into the room by two bodies trying to get in and see any damage that could’ve been done while they were gone. The sight of 2BDamned softly snoring away in his chair, nothing in the room seeming out of place, was most certainly a welcome one.
“Ah. So that’s why he isn’t barking us up a tree for your entrance, Dei.” Sanford hummed with a laugh, careful to watch his volume. If there was one thing he didn’t want to deal with after their mission it was a cranky Doc who got woken up by them. It wasn’t a secret he didn’t necessarily sleep after all and there was no way he could survive off coffee like he seemed to silently claim he could sometimes. They all had times when their sleep schedules were fucked.
“Oh shut up, ‘Ford.” Deimos shot back with a playful punch to the man’s bicep. “It’s not like I’m the one who slammed the door. That’s what he would’ve been on our asses about.”
“You slammed it open then yelled loud enough for all of Nevada to hear you. Don’t act like you’re innocent!”
As the two’s words morphed into friendly bickering Hank took it upon himself to deliver the bit of what they got that couldn’t stay in the duffle bag slung over his shoulder at the moment. Buried in the pocket of his jacket was a small object. Something he hadn’t expected to find, but had snagged nonetheless when it had been pointed out by Deimos. For a second as he walked over to the man a rough hand dug around fabric, fingers gripping plastic as he arrived at his destination. Without thinking he tossed the USB onto the hacker’s desk, eyes wandering over small things like the empty coffee mug or discarded goggles. Behind red-tinted goggles they landed on the man’s tablet, the screen now illuminated thanks to what he could assume had been the small drive hitting the desk. Prying wasn’t something he often did when it came to his teammates, respecting their privacy as they often did his, but after a certain word caught his eye he couldn’t help but read the log that had popped up.
Title: Experiment 05SB
Time: 7:42 pm, xx/xx/xx
Author: 2BDamned
Note: I…cannot believe I’m about to write this. This is update one of Experiment 05SB, an experiment started without much if any bit of a proper plan behind it. Phase I, I suppose you could call it, was a success. The shrunken grunts are, in fact, small enough to swallow whole and…alive. MAGs have not yet been confirmed to be the same way, though I’m sure that answer will show itself one day. I am unsure why I am able to keep four of them down without feeling nauseated, but I can. I will update at a later time when more information has presented itself.
The log ended there, eyes falling away from the screen as Hank’s mind worked to process the information it had just been given. According to what had been written before the man had fallen victim to sleep, it was not only possible to swallow the shrunken beings sitting in one of the cages behind him, but the unofficial doctor had done it himself. Four times to be exact. Curiosity grabbed control of his eyes, slowly panning them up to the cage of grunts who looked noticeably more terrified than they usually did. Had they seen the whole thing go down? His mind continued to wander, finding new questions like how on earth the hacker had managed to keep living and no doubt moving beings down like the log said he did. That is unless he’d spit them up before falling asleep. However that seemed highly unlikely-
“Snooping around Doc’s stuff, are we Hank~?” When Deimos had appeared behind him was beyond the mercenary, though the shock of hearing his voice out of the blue was enough to startle him into quickly powering off 2b’s tablet and whipping around to face the two that now stood across with him with far too smug looks on their faces for his liking.
“Woah there, big guy! We didn’t mean any trouble.” Sanford cooed, the fucking Chad cooed, holding his hands up as if he was under some sort of arrest. “Just wanted to know what you were reading over here is all~.”
“Yeah, exactly. I never expected to find you clicking through Doc’s diary.” Deimos added on nearly flawlessly. Sometimes he really hated how well they worked together. Namely when it was against him. “So, was it a love confession~?”
Hank sighed, glaring at the two through his goggles. He sure fucking hoped they could see the look on his face, despite most of it being covered by bandages and his mask. Because he was not amused and he wanted them to know it.
“No, not a love confession, you morons.” He groaned, shaking his head. Telling them straight off what it said would probably be horrible. At the moment he was still having a few difficulties understanding parts of what he read. Lying just seemed like the best choice overall. It wasn’t like he’d be the only one doing so, after all. It sure seemed like 2b did to them over the mic. Speaking of the man, Hank turned around to take a good look at him. At first glance he seemed like he normally did when he passed out in his chair from overworking himself like this. It was only when Hank took an extra second to look and let the information in his brain guide him did he see the slightly out of place softness around the sleeping hacker’s stomach. Unable to help himself Hank felt his ruined remaining lip quirk up into a small smirk under his mask as he turned around to shove the Dumbass Duo out of the room so 2b could sleep.
“Bunch’a nonsense, is all. Now move. I don’t wanna deal with him if you idiots wake him up and we still have shit to put away.”

true love’s kiss
tenya iida x gn!reader
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
word count: 1.5k
requested by @coleluuviida : So may I request a iida tenya x gn! reader? The plot I want is where reader likes reading a lot of books and comics, they will read romance, action, horror, etc. So then one day reader and the dekusquad are eating lunch together, reader was quick eating their lunch so that they can continue reading their book but then iida ask about what their reading and reader go on and on how, and why they like the story with passion iida was listen with joy even the dekusquad are listening in. After that reader let iida borrow their book the rest is up to your imagination!
[a/n: thank you so much for trusting me with your request sweetheart!! i’m sorry it took so long but here it is, i hope you enjoy! I kinda got carried away...it’s been a while since i’ve properly written so i apologize if it’s not very good :/ without further adieu, here’s some adorable iida content cause he’s the best and deserves the world - yours truly, bunnyy -`ღ´-]
It was never strange to see you with your nose buried in between the pages of a book. Your friends found it endearing.Some people, literally just Bakugou, found it a bit ridiculous. 
Denki and Kirishima made a game out of it. They would bet on the genre you were reading purely based on your reactions alone. If your cheeks ever got flushed and your eyes wide, 10/10 it was probably a cheesy romance manga. If your brows were furrowed and your bottom lip was caught between your teeth, it was a mystery novel. A forlorn look in your eyes ment it was some type of magical book with Knights, Wizards, and Dragons (oh my!)
But somebody in particular, albeit enamored by your love of literature, was also concerned.
Iida was in your group of friends and so he had witnessed first hand your obsession with finishing a book. Sometimes you wouldn't eat during lunch because you were so enthralled and when he did get you to eat something, you raced to finish your food so you could grab your book once more and pick up where you left off. You weren't much of a talker and no one at the table really minded your lack of conversation and let you be.
However, this time around, it was different. Iida noticed the bags under your eyes and knew that you hadn't been sleeping. You had been engaging in class and you were keeping up with your studies but the second you guys were allowed a break or you all were let out for lunch, you picked up your book and resumed reading.
Even as you walked with them to the cafeteria, your eyes hadn't left the page. You had your book in one hand and your other was gripping the end of Shoto's blazer, leading you to where you needed to go.
 "It must be a really good one this time." Kirishima muttered to Denki, both watching in amusement as you were being led around by a nonchalant Shoto.
So as you sat at the lunch table, Iida watched in concern. Even with your favorite food in front of you, you still hadn't put the book down. As much as he hated what he was about to do, he just couldn't do nothing.
"(Y/n), as much as I hate to disrupt your reading...I must know, is a book really more important than sleep? Or more important than eating a healthy meal?"
All conversation came to a screeching halt. No one had ever really disrupted your reading before...so no one knew what to expect when Iida spoke up. The seconds were tense as they ticked by and as you moved your hand, they all held their breath, but instead of bookmarking your page, your finger deftly slipped under the corner of the page and turned to the next one.
 "Huh...they didn't even hear you." Ochako giggled.
Sighing, Iida reached over and placed his hand flat on the pages, successfully obstructing your view of the letter on the pages.  
"(Y/n)..."
Normally, you'd be a slight bit annoyed that someone had interrupted you but it was Iida. Sweet, sweet Iida.
"Oh. Sorry." Your cheeks burned in embarrassment, "I must've not heard you. What's wrong?"
Iida sighs.
“I'm just concerned, is all. What's got you so interested?"
 "You really want to know?" He noticed how your eyes twinkled with excitement.
 "Yes, I really want to know."
And with that, you went off on a whole tangent.
Explaining the story from the very beginning. Giving character description with wild and elaborate hand gestures. Even going as far as adding sound effects to fight scenes. This was nothing new for Shoto or Midoriya. They had often asked about the stories you read and quite enjoyed hearing you re-tell them. Shoto never had anyone tell him bedtime stories but he assumes
this is what they would've been like.
Iida was stunned. Absolutely stunned. He's never seen you speak about something so passionately, other than the time he had asked you why you wanted to be a hero.
So as you went on and explained what you've been reading, he felt himself fall even more. He was intently listening.
You had been reading a rom-com style, action book about two knights going on a quest to slay a dragon to break an evil curse. There were wizards and mystical forest creatures. Once you finished, you had asked if he wanted to read it once you were done.
Now...this wasn't really Iida's cup of tea. Don't get him wrong, he loves sitting and enjoying a book but fantasy books
aren't really his style.
  "So..? Would you want to read it? Ya' know, see for yourself?" The look in your eyes was absolutely adorable, he couldn't possibly say no.
    "S-Sure, I'd love to borrow it."
He wasn't too worried though, you still had a few chapters to go and surely you'd forget about it.
Boy was he wrong.
As he was getting ready for bed, the knock on his door confused him. Upon opening the door, there you stood in your pajamas
with the book tightly clutched in your hands.
    "Sorry I took so long but here you go. Let me know what you think." You had an excited smile playing on your lips.
    "Oh...thank you." He reached out and took the book from your outstretched grasp.
He read through the first chapter before going to bed, slightly intrigued.
It took him about a month to read, maybe a little longer since he definitely took breaks and focused more on school than anything...but eventually, he finished. 
You had been hanging out in the common room when Iida had walked in, book in hand. It took you a while to notice since  you had been buried in another . 
    “Oh, hey Iida!” Ochako grinned. 
You turned and took notice of what was in his possession and your smile grew.
    “You finished! What’d you think?” 
    “Uhm well, it was quite...quite interesting-” He was fumbling with his words, something that’s a bit unusual for him. 
    “Oh...you didn’t like it?” your face fell and his heart dropped a little.
    “No, no! What I mean is that-!”
    “It’s okay, you can be honest. It’s not for everyone.” 
    “I did like it but there’s something that I didn’t quite understand. Why would they risk leaving the magma gem? From my understanding, it would’ve given them the abilities needed to slay the dragon.” The complete and utter confusion on his face was adorable. 
    “Come on, Ingenium!” You chuckled quietly. “If they had gotten the gem, they wouldn’t have been able to save their partner. Remember, sometimes the best strategy is to run and get help instead of fighting a fight that you can’t win.” 
    “But they didn’t even slay the dragon!”
    “They didn’t because that wasn’t needed to break the curse. The only way to break the curse was with true love’s kiss.” 
    “That’s not very logical. How would that break a deadly curse?” 
    “Don’t underestimate the power of love, Iida. It’s quite strong.” 
Upon hearing those words he looked up from the book and into your eyes...had they always been that mesmerizing? His heart hammered in his chest as he parted his lips to speak once more. 
    “W-would you show me?” This was a big leap of faith for him. He had confided in Midoriya a while ago when he realized his feelings for you, and ever the observant one, Midoriya had a feeling that you felt the same way. There had been multiple times where he had caught you gazing longingly at the class rep. 
Now you...you were stunned. Your cheeks had flushed red and your mouth was agape. Taking your silence as a rejection, he swallowed the lump in his throat and shook his head. 
    “I apologize, that was quite forward of me. I’m sorry if I made you uncomfortable.” He placed the book down on the couch and got up. Once he turned away from you, you had realized that the words in your head never left your mouth so you reached out and grabbed his wrist. 
        “Wait…” your voice was barely above a whisper but he heard you and turned back around. “You didn’t make me uncomfortable, I’m just surprised that you feel the same way I do.” 
There was a small silence that followed but your body seemed to move on its own. You held his face in your hands, the feeling of your thumbs gently caressing his cheekbones sent the butterflies into a frenzy. 
    “Can I still kiss you?” Your voice was hesitant, quiet, and it made him smile, gazing into your eyes with such a fondness that it made your stomach do flips. 
    “Yes...please.” 
That was all you needed before leaning in, his eyes and yours fluttered shut as your lips met. Both of you were unsure but he trusted you and you trusted him. The feeling of his lips moving languidly with yours was absolutely euphoric. He tasted like mint and black tea, and his lips were soft. Gaining confidence, he wrapped his arms around you and pulled you closer. 
After finally pulling away, he rested his forehead against yours. 
    “Believe it’s strong enough now?” 
    “Hmm…” His chest vibrated as he hummed in feign thoughtfulness. “I may need more convincing.”

Facing the Blights - Part 1.
Everything happened so quickly that Luz and Amity's minds were still flying in the sky as if life was a dream.
With the adrenaline still in their bodies and a huge smile in their faces, they entered the owl house accompanied by Eda and Hooty, who proceeded to insert himself inside the house door. Something traumatic to watch but luckily Luz and Amity were very busy looking into eachothers eyes and Eda was checking her new body, to even realize.
- Oh wow, look at me - Eda said while stopping in front of the mirror- What a crazy day, right kiddo?
- Mhm - Mumbled Luz without putting her eyes away from Amity.
- Hooty you really are something. Look at King- Eda said looking out the window - Never seen him this happy.
Amity and Luz walked to the window and watch King practising with his new power. He certainly was very excited. Who would have imagined hooty's plan to help everyone would succeed that well.
- Oh, I should go - Amity said when realising how dark it was outside.
Luz grabbed Amity's hand and look at her with puppy eyes, begging the girl to stay for dinner and have a sleepover.
"It's to late to walk home" was her excuse.
Amity knew her parents wouldn't be happy if they knew she was staying at the owl house, specially after what happened last week.
Amity had never responded to her mother in such a way as that night, when Odalia discovered her daughter's new hair colour.
She knew Amity was rebelling against her and that was unacceptable. And of course, she blame Amity's new friends for that.
The atmosphere during that fight was so tense, Edric and Emira didn't even try to say something in favour of their little sister. Instead, they stayed inside their room listening to the screamings in fear.
But Amity really wanted to stay with Luz that night. She felt secured and loved when being next to her.
- Okay, I'll stay - she finally responded with the biggest smile in her face.
While Luz was helping Eda cook, Amity texted her siblings asking for help.
Not coming home today. Please help
me with mom!! 🥺🙏
She tried to relax and stop thinking about the consequences she would have in the future.
What happened minutes ago was worth everything. Luz was worth everything.
She smiled when remembering the girl asking her out. It Still felt unreal.
Dinner was very good. Eda told everyone about her new transformation and King was so happy he couldn't stop talking about his new power.
Luz and Amity, on the other hand, were listening to everyone while holding each others hands under the table.
After finishing cleaning, everyone headed to their rooms. After that long day some sleep was well deserved.
Luz felt so embarrassed when opening the door to let Amity in. She knew how bad her room seemed... She didn't even have a bed.
- Did you have a good time? - Luz asked.
- Yes!! - Amity said with a big smile - everything here is so fun and nice. It feels like home.. a real home. I like it.
The girl sighed while remembering blight manor and how strict everything was there. With all the rules... Behaving at dinner ment no laughing and barely talking. The Owl House, on the other hand, felt like a place where she could be herself.
- I know it's not too much but... I like it too - Luz siad while taking Amity's hand and leading her to her sleeping bag where they both sat. - You can sleep here and I'm sleeping on the couch, okay? -
- Are you leaving now? - Amity said sadly.
- Of course not. This is a sleepover after all and the night is still young. What do you want to do? - Luz asked, still holding Amity's hand.
- I don't know. Should we talk about... about our... feelings - she cracked laughing, Luz did too.
- Well, Amity Blight... I really really like you.
- You really think I'm smart, cool and classy? - Amity said while laughing.
- I do and I'm not afraid to admit it - Luz said while blushing.
- I like you too, dork. - Amity said while hugging Luz.
They stayed in that position for a couple minutes with the biggest smile in their faces.
- I think you are a cotton candy hair goddess too. - Luz said while laughing.
Continuing...

ENERGY CHECKUP: YOONGI (again)
Now, I know I've already done an energy check up on yoon but I wanted to see how he was doing now that he's gotten his shoulder surgery!
Disclaimer time: tarot is not to be takes as fact and is my interpretation if the cards :) entertainment purposes only~
SHIT IS STRANGE (it is Yoongi though so I'm not too shocked)
Tumblr media
So. For starters, his energy is pretty calm and chill. He's also a bit more quiet?
I wrote a note that tomorrow is exciting... idk I wrote it down and I'm not sure if its exciting for him or for us? Maybe its just a general like, "tomorrow is a good day" type thing.
Now. 11... I wrote this down and I'm not sure why though I believe that he might be seeing 11:11 on the clock or possibly that something exciting is happening for him at 11:11 (I just checked and thats in like an hour and a half from when I'm writing this down(( update i just finished writing the whole post and it is about 11 minutes away)) idk. I make no promises but I wrote it down so there you go.
I also kept seeing plants and I'm not sure if people got him flowers or plants as a "get well" type thing or maybe he's stressing bc someone has to water his plants lol
Okay. Okay. Hear me out. Black bean noodles. It popped into my head and I was told to write it down but I'm also really hungry so take that with a grain of fucking salt. (I even pictured a nice elaborate bowl that was red as well as the take out container. Yum. Send me noodles)
MOVING ON
Here's the actual reading lol. He is bored.
Thats all. Thank you for coming.
Jk
I joke. The cards give me a kind of frazzled feeling? Its the struggle of knowing hes done something good but it comes at a cost. Yoongi works. A lot. All the goddamn time. So what now? He's having this shake up thats forcing him to deal with stuff. Him having this surgery also may have brought back some less than favorable memories/ feelings that hes being forced to deal with now. Over all though he feels like its good. The 6 of wands makes me think that he's thinking of our response when he comes back. Its like he's gonna be so much more confident in himself and his dancing and he can finally move on from the car accident? It happed so long ago but he literally carried this burden with him. Its good. The wheel of fortune and is about a change and the 8 of swords is about self imposed restriction, imprisonment and over all bad/ negative feelings. I pulled the wheel of fortune first and asked what was changing and that was the 8 of swords. This surgery is helping to free him from this restricting, painful thing that may have been reminding him of the past! YES HEALING
Now. For this section I just kinda asked "whats up?" And got, easy does it, divine life purpose l, balancing masculine and feminine energies and uplift your thoughts. He may be resting but he's got his mind working on 3,000 my dude. Its the regular "yoongi is woke af" bullshit but damn. The cards say what they say. He's preparing. I'll come back to this.
Now the 7 of cups and the 3 of swords. I asked how he felt about missing out on promoting. He's heart broken with the 3 of swords. It genuinely pains him. And with the 7 of cups he might feel like there's a lot of ways this can play out and he's considered a lot of options.
I was curious how he felt about me coming into his energy so I asked him what he thought of me. Lol. These each came out separately. We got, 2 of cups, four of wands, the empress, justice, the magician, the sun and the lovers. Ha
So. To add to the mood setting my guide said "he's a drama queen" lol yeah he is.
So so so so so. I was confused? Still am a little confused but I'm like 80.9% sure that he isn't bothered by me poking around in his energy n shit. In fact my theory is that he's using this connection to his advantage? Lol sounds dumb but my best guess is that home boy sees my energy/ what I'm doing as a way to figure out his own shit? Idk maybe he thinks I'm his energetic therapist. Maybe even a matchmaker (I mean... I have been putting a lot of energy and work into finding/ connecting with his soulmate so maybe he's letting me do all the dirty work) I really don't understand but I got no further explanation.
Oki oki oki. Now. I was drawn to 2 books. The kybalion and the prophet. I asked yoon if there was any messages that we wanted to point out through the books and I got a number for each book so I took it as page numbers. 28 for the prophet and 54 for the kybalion
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Take what you will from these if it calls to you. I haven't read these since I was around 13? The sentiments for each felt important to me so I'm curious what you all might think/ feel when reading these? ( I also get the feeling that Yoongi has read the prophet idk why)
Okay. At this point I was like cool, let's wrap this up but I need to talk about his pjs? Green/grey? Plaid pj bottoms don't ask me don't ask me don't ask me I don't know but It wouldn't go away so I had write it down? Help.
I had written yoongis brother down too. Theres something about him? I'm not sure what but thats all I got lol
I was very strongly told that I needed to remember 7, that its important. Got it. Worth it down.
Oki. As I was going back to the platform blah blah blah the string turned blue too. The cord is usually white or silver but it was blue so that was a fun thing and then I was like "nice. Cool. Thanks. This was awesome, get healthy blah blah" and go to leave/ end the connection but the cord wouldn't go away.
???
What.
Then the string (idk if I said but that string shit is like on the third eye? Its connected to my forehead and his too.) Kind tightens.
I'm like, "oh shit."
Listen. Usually everything is smooth and nice and I just leave.
All is well though bc my guide is like, "stop being a little bitch" so I just let it happen.
Yoon shoves me back off the edge of the platform. Why he gotta be like that?
Now. This is strange. I had dropped down into a library.
Y'ALL
I almost shit my fucking pants. Dear god.
THE AKASHIC RECORDS MY DUDE
He started walking me around until he found a blue book. His mother fucking book.
Home boy brought me to his fucking Akashic fucking blue fucking book.
I was big mad. "YOU LITTLE FUCKER! YOUVE KNOWN ABIUT THIS SHIT?" And he was like, "duh"
I've never felt more disrespect lol
Also the way the library was presented was way way way different from how it looks to me. So thats an interesting note. Looking at his book, on the base of the spine is a number 7...
Oki. Cool. I asked if I could look and he said, "Sure, when you can find your way back."
This mother fucker threw me out of a meditative state. Have you ever woken up just before you hit the ground in one of those falling dreams? THAT WAS THE FEELING.
?? I'm not sure what the fuck just happened or if it holds actual significance.
Anyway. After cursing the fuck out of yoobi I started thinking what else 7 ment.
I was specifically told to remember 7 and it was on his book. Then It popped into my head (I want to say its because I'm smart and thought of it all by myself but I think that was my guide wanting me to keep my last brain cell safe). What is yoongis life path number?
Now I don't know shot about life path numbers but imma read up on them tonight. I used a life path calculator on Google. HIS LIFE PATH NUMBER IS 7 Y'ALL.
Tumblr media
Maybe I'm dumb as fuck but yoobi never disappoints.
Conclusion: Yoon is fine. Hes just being a yoongi and a yoongi does.

Ocean: the deep (2)
Tumblr media
Pic: comma.
Date: 210114
Warnings/Contains: angst, abuse (ment./emot.), gen.explicit language
Pairing: au! Baekhyun x F. Reader
WC: 7,9k
NOTE: It’s not all angst, but describing it as fluff feels off. On sensitive/explicit topics.
Prologue  Masterlist
                                    ¤¤
Alot of us tell ourselves “I’d know”, but chances are you wouldn’t. Not if they didn’t want you to. And if they did, showed you a sliver of the truth, would you be brave enough to see it instead of thinking up an excuse? 
                                     ¤¤
“Are you okay?”, Beanie asks, putting the break on her stroller so you can sit down on the park bench.
“Me? Yeah, I’m fine. A little tired. Still getting used to drinking wine instead of mixed drinks I guess.”
“No, not you. I mean you guys, you and Baekhyun.”
“What do you mean? You saw him last night.” Doubt finding its way to your mind - she has after all known him for longer than you. “Did...Did he say something to you?”
“No, but I noticed…”, she turns to you, stalling. “Don’t get mad, alright?”
“Why would I get mad?”
“Just… I’m gonna say something and I don’t want you to get mad at me.”
“Okay, I won’t get mad, Bean. What?”
“I’ve been married to Minnie for a while now, so I see Baekhyun alot, and I’ve heard some things - rumours I guess - that maybe, you know…”
“Don’t say it, Bean. Please don’t say it.” Heart sinking, you brace yourself and ask her.
“That he sleeps around..?”
“No, not that. More that he’s maybe...not so...kind.” 
“What..?”, you burst out.
“Like I said, it’s rumours, I never really hung out with his girlfriends before, so I wouldn’t know. But I…”
Beanie’s fidgeting makes your throat tighten.
“I feel like Baekhyun used to dote on you, but lately he’s been acting more like...your dad.”
“That’s ridiculous..!”, you say, swatting your hand in the air. “Besides, don’t dads dote on their kids, hm?” 
“But you’re not his daughter”, she says bluntly, fixing her eyes on you.
“Are you talking about something specific that happened last night?”
                                          ¤¤
  Hearing the lock turn you breathe a sigh of relief; having a dinner party at home without the owner of said home wasn’t your plan. Baekhyun stops in the living room to greet his guests and engage in the usual banter - as if he didn’t see half of them earlier in the day - before you hear his footsteps nearing the kitchen. 
“Sorry I’m late, sweetie. I just couldn’t seem to get out..!”, he huffs.
Putting on your best Suzy Homemaker air (jokingly, of course), you turn around with your arms open.
“You’re just in time, Baekhyun. Honestly, I just took the lasagna out of the oven.”
“Wow, this looks great…”, Baekhyun says, taking the sight of your carefully planned dishes in before kissing you. “But…Are you wearing that?”, he says leaning back, his eyes slightly narrowing.
“Hm? You picked this dress. Don’t you remember?”, you say puzzled.
“Of course I remember. But it’s...more for me, isn’t it? Just me. Maybe put on something more modest?”
“Modest..?”, you laugh. “This isn’t worse than any of the other girls...” 
“Well, you don’t have to be like them, do you? You’re my girl, aren’t you?”, he coos.
You know he’s being overly sensitive, but it won’t cost your ego much to change - not as much as this dinner ruined would, so you lift your hands up in defeat.
“Okay, you win”, you sigh.
His smile lights up not only his face, but your entire being. His hands on your cheeks is a promise of sweet touches to be given later on; his lips one of your name being whispered in love.
“I’ll set the table, sweetie.”
¤
“You changed your dress?”, Beanie asks.
“Serves me right for not wearing an apron”, you chuckle as you sit down.
Baekhyun takes your hand and smiles. 
“Please, everyone”, you gesture to the fully laden table “enjoy.”
                                        ¤¤
“No, I mean in general.”
“Well, in general, you’ve nothing to worry about. Sure, I don’t get flowers delivered every other day like before, but that’s because I practically live with him now. You know how it is”, you say, gesturing to her stroller. “The beginning is always a fairytale, and then it becomes something else. You don’t need all the trimmings when you realise you…”
“Love each other?”, Beanie says, leaning forward with big eyes.
“Yeah…”, you say, shrugging your shoulders.
“Baekhyun said the L word to you..!”
“A month ago. And every day since. God, why am I embarrassed to say it!? Stop laughing, Bean!”
“I’m sorry. This is great!”, Beanie replies, clapping her hands. “Now I feel bad for dragging him like that...”
“I won’t tell on you.” You sit quiet for a moment, then continue. “And when you say “dad”, if you mean how he sometimes suggests things for me to do, or wear, I dunno, it’s because I’ve asked him to. You know I’m not from around here, so sometimes when we go places, say for dinner, I want to know what cutlery to use, or what those goddamn french words mean, you know. It’s embarrassing - for me - to be so obviously misplaced…”
“Shit, don’t I know it…”, Beanie shakes her head. “What? You know I grew up on the other side. First time Minnie took me to a corporate event...he called it “a party”, so you know I rolled up in my shortest sequin number and my highest glitter heels… Shit, the looks I got!”, she wheezes.
“Those stiffs must’ve thought you were the entertainment!”
“Hey! But you’re right. I tell you, Minnie didn’t get any for a week.”
After wiping her tears Beanie gets serious again:
“I’m sorry, alright? Only looking out for you. But who knows...soon I might be looking for a maid of honour attire”, she smirks.
You cross your fingers and smile back.
                                         ¤¤
“I’ll be a happy man the day I don’t have to read the name Seung Inc. again”, Baekhyun sighs and slumps down on the couch, lifting your head to rest on his thigh.
“Settlement getting the better of you?”
“Their stupidity might”, he chuckles, giving you a kiss. “I’ll take Ga’ round the block before bed.”
“No, I can do it.”
“I could use some fresh air. And your overdramatic drama starts soon, doesn’t it?”
“It’s a perfectly lifelike show, Baekhyun. What, you mean your boss doesn’t slap you cross the face?”, you giggle, remembering his disbelief at the scene.
“No, but I might slap him one of these days. Come on Ga’”, he says, getting up and patting his thigh. “Gawa, come here.”
Gawa doesn’t move, so you nudge him off of the couch:
“Go!”
“Why do I always have to call that dog three times?”, Baekhyun shakes his head.
“What that dog thinks is anyone’s guess. He probably likes the way you say his name. Don’t forget-”
“Bags. I know.”
  Feeling a little antsy you busy yourself with a bit of tidying up in the kitchen, emptying the dishwasher, wiping the counters and the like. There’s really no need, as you’ve already done it, but it’s something to do while waiting for Baekhyun to come back, for him to go to bed. “Take it easy. It’s just a search, what’s gonna happen? Nothing. It’s not true, so nothing.” 
When he’s finally tucked in you bring in his water bottle - which he always forgets - and put it on the nightstand. 
“Thanks.”
“All set?”
“Beyond all set…”
“Mm, I can see you won’t need a bedtime story to fall asleep”, you say, running your fingers through his hair.
“Depends…”, he says, seemingly half asleep. “Depends on the story”, he smiles, guiding your hand downwards.
You pull it away. When he doesn’t even bother opening his eyes you know he wasn’t serious anyway, so you turn off the light and say goodnight, closing the door behind you.
                                     ¤¤ 
  Finishing your show you mute the TV and sit still for a while, making sure you can’t hear any sound except Gawa’s snoozing. “Let’s just do this.” You grab your computer and start reading. You’re relieved to find you can’t relate to most of the things you read, but once in a while the text makes you stop;
Patronizing; one month: 
Going through your phone Baekhyun had laughed when you suggested he wouldn’t like finding you going through his. “Go ahead. But I doubt you’d be able to discern anything.”
“What, ‘cus I’m not a corporate lawyer suddenly I’m dumb..?”
“No...But put it this way. Since I am a lawyer I know certain things. But you know things I don’t, sweetie. Like scanning barcodes, or working a cash register. That’s more your thing”, he had smiled. 
You had definitely felt some kind of way about the conversation. But seeing as he’d already said he wasn’t calling you dumb you didn’t find the words to approach it without it seeming like you were picking a fight.
“Joking”: Two months:
 “Baekhyun, I don’t think this is my size. Why’d you cut the label off?”
“It was huge. I knew you’d do it anyway. Maybe you’ve gained weight…”,  he said, chuckling at how the fabric cut into your waist.
You knew you hadn’t, and comparing it to your other trousers, the one he bought was definitely smaller.
Monitoring your whereabouts: three months:
Stacking condiments on the shelf at work you’d seen him coming down the aisle; a lovely surprise in the middle of a long shift. “Hi..! What are you doing here?”
“You weren’t answering your phone, just wanted to see you’re okay.”
“I don’t have it on me, you know that.”
“Okay, you got me. I was gonna pretend I wanted snacks, but really I missed you.”
You had found it adorable that he’d gotten into the car just to see you. But had he maybe done it to see if your text was true - if you were really covering a shift for a sick coworker? 
“Sweetie…”
Drunk with sleep you rub your eyes. Baekhyun is kneeling next to the couch, the white light from your laptop making him an angelic figure in the otherwise dark room.
“Oh”, you scrunch your face. “I must’ve fallen asleep…”
“You must have”, he says, brushing your hair behind your ear. “Who’s being abused?”
You jerk, suddenly fully awake, and look at your screen: “Signs to look out for”. You scramble to sit up and close the web browser.
“No, Beanie just-”
“Minnie’s abusing Beanie?”
“No. Someone in her mom circle...she thought maybe. I don’t know…” You know it’s impossible Baekhyun doesn’t hear the lie, but he doesn’t let on. “I just thought I’d see if there’s anything she could look...out for, you know. She’s busy with the baby and all...”, you shrug your shoulders, trying to brush it off as nothing special.
“If she’s that busy maybe she shouldn’t put her nose in other people’s business”, he says, cocking his head.
There’s an almost undetectable smile on his lips which sends a shiver through your body.
“It’s not like that, she-”
“Come to bed”, he says getting up on his feet.
“I... Come on, Gawa.”
“No, he stays. I don’t want him in the room.”
  There’s something distinctly different in how his shoulders look as he walks away. Something that makes you drag out your visit to the bathroom, hoping he’ll be asleep by the time you’re done. Tiptoeing into your room you breathe a sigh of relief, until you get into bed and he immediately rolls over to hug you. Any other day this would’ve been nothing less than what you expected - and wanted - but now all you can think of is how fast your heart is beating, and whether he can feel it or not. And Beanie…“What if he asks her? I can’t tell her to lie for me, then I’d have to explain why I did it in the first place…” But your thoughts are interrupted when Baekhyun exhales loudly into your neck and pulls your body closer, easing you out of your underwear.
                                         ¤¤
  Cutting the alarm at 08.15 you sit up to find the bed empty. Well, empty of Baekhyun. He’d let the door stay open for Gawa to jump into bed, as he is now halfheartedly wagging his tail, looking at you. The fact that he’s not already in your face, vying for your attention means Baekhyun has both walked and fed him. And that means he’s not angry with you about last night.
“Ay, ay”, you sigh getting out of bed, tying your robe tightly. “Maybe I should cut back even more on my hours like he wants. Whaddya say, Ga’? Staying home watching dramas all day, wouldn’t that be something?” 
 Shuffling out to the kitchen you see a note on the counter: “I’m meeting Seung Inc.redible ass for dinner. Home early, call me if you want take out.” Baekhyun always ends his notes with a star. Never a heart, or a smiley, but a star. Today it makes you pause, mulling last night over in your head. Not so much thinking as feeling. “Sweetie…” Nothing had happened, yet deep down you know something had. But since it is deep down you swat it away with ease, going about your day as planned. 
  Coming back to your apartment to find half of your plants either dead or hanging on to life by a thread was the twig that broke the back of your dubble home lifestyle. The surfaces being covered in dust and your clothes smelling stuffy was just icing on said broken back. 
“...and cleaning up feels like a waste since I’ll be gone and the same thing’s gonna happen..”, you complain over the phone to Baekhyun. 
“Sweetie..? Are you asking me if you can move in with me..?”, Baekhyun says at the other end. You can tell he has a smile on his face.
“Wha-no… I’m not”, you laugh, suddenly realising that’s exactly what it sounds like. “I was just venting.”
“So you don’t wanna move in with me?”
If you say yes it will really seem as if you were fishing, so you just stare at the phone. 
“You there…?”
“Yeah, I just… Are you really asking?”
“Yes…”
What you want to do is swing from your lamp like it’s a merry-go-round and scream, but you keep it cool, clearing your throat.
“Well, it’s a pretty big decision. Of course I’d say yes, but I have to confer with my associate.”
“This associate of yours, does it happen to be a big furry thing who is probably lying next to you, listening in..?”
“Maybe…”
“Mr. Gawa, I’m gonna make you an offer you can’t refuse.”
“Baekhyun! I’ve seen that movie - it’s not a good offer..!”, you holler.
“Okay, okay”, he laughs. “My offer is love. Good enough?”
You scrunch your face and smother a yelp of delight.
“Good enough, Baekhyun…”
“Great”, he huffs. “Typical Seung, calling to rain on my happy moment… You’ll come home tonight then?”
“My first night as the lady of the manor, wouldn’t miss it. Go easy on him..! Love you.”
“Love you. Bye.”
  You sit in disbelief for a moment. Did an everyday phone call with Baekhyun just end in you moving in with him? A dozen unfinished thoughts goes through your mind; giving up the apartment seems daunting somehow; what do I do with all my stuff; does he have room for what I wanna bring..? But it is mostly happy thoughts painted in pink.
“Hope this puts an end to the tiffs we’ve had lately. Brings it back to how it was before”, you sigh. “Look alive, Gawa - you’re moving up in the world..!”, you say, wrestling with him for a bit.
                                           ¤¤ 
“Agh!”, you huff, kicking your shoes off in the hallway and dropping your bag on the floor.
Baekhyun, for once home earlier than you, gives you a curious look from the sofa.
“Rough day?”
“My car won’t start..!”
“How’d you get home?”
“It was fine, but when I turned the ignition off my headlights wouldn’t go out, so I was gonna do it again, but it wouldn’t start. I’ve been sitting in the parking lot for fifteen minutes revving the engine like Wacky Races..! I had to cut the battery ‘cus of the lights”, you complain, slumping down next to him with your head in his lap. “I was so angry I almost forgot Ga’ in the car. Ahh, that fucking car, Baekhyun..!”, you laugh desperately.
“You gonna leave it at the shop?”
“I can’t afford it right now. Not again.”
“Don’t be silly, I’ll pay for it.” 
“I don’t want you to. I’ll take the bus.”
“What’s a bus?”, Baekhyun frowns, choking a smile.
You roll your eyes at him and shake your head, as if you don’t think him playing with high class manners is funny. 
“Wait, I wanna lie down”, he says, stretching out on the couch with you as his blanket.
“I’ll give you money for the cab tomorrow”, he says, kissing your hand.
“There’s no cab. I’m taking the bus. But thank you.”
“Some start to being the lady of the manor… Speaking of which, did you give your… How many months is the notice...?”
“Three. No, I…”, you pause.
Baekhyun shakes his head a little, a question.
“I thought you might wanna talk it over.”
“We already did..? You having second thoughts?”
“Of course not..! It was just in case, since I was whining about it, maybe you asked...on the spur of the moment, kinda?”
His honeyed laughter rings in your ears.
“You think I’d ask you to move in on the spur of the moment?”
“Well, no...when you say it like that it sounds different..!”
“ Ah, what to do with you, sweetie”, he sighs. “You wanna have a party maybe?”
“A party?”
“Not a rave, but invite a few people, you know.”
“Hm...eh, I hadn’t...hm, okay.”
“We don’t have to.”
“No, I just hadn’t thought about it. It’ll be fun, let’s do it. Wait, I don’t even know - do you have a storage room in the building? If my stuff can fit there or whether I should rent something?”
“You’re bringing your things here, aren’t you?”
“I mean the big things, my furniture and…”
“You don’t need them anymore, just throw them out? Or are you planning on leaving me..?”, Baekhyun teases.
“Nooo. But I spent money on them, I don’t wanna just chuck ‘em out.”
“It’s stupid, but do as you wish”, he sighs.
“It’s not. Humour me. For a while at least.”
In these mundane things is where your heart is, feeling Baekhyun’s breathing and warmth through his thin t-shirt while he watches the news, lightly scratching the nape of your neck, but otherwise paying no particular attention to you. 
                                         ¤¤ 
  Even though you at first hadn’t a thought of having a moving-in party, the thought really grew on you, and you decided to throw something together. It was all rather ad-hoc: drinks, ramyun, games, a few shiny balloons you’d gotten from work and a dozen guests. Most of them were from Baekhyun’s office, but that didn’t matter, you knew and liked them well enough. Oddly enough, Beanie hadn’t gotten back to you today. You knew she was coming, she’d been too excited about the news not to, but you couldn’t get a hold of her now. You’d been checking your phone so often it was borderline rude, so you’d left it in the kitchen for some peace of mind, but now hearing your ringtone you excuse yourself and dash to get it. It’s not her.
“Hey, I forgot the code to the gate..?”
“Didn’t I send you a text with it?”
“Oh… I forgot that to..! Sorry, be right up.”
  Without being unappreciative of the friends that are here you can’t help missing the one who isn’t. You could probably drink and laugh away the night with anyone of these people, but with Beanie it’s different. You don’t know if it’s because both of you are from “the other side of the tracks” and somehow ended up in fancy places, but you do know your connection with her was instant, like meeting your twin from another lifetime. You know her word is her bond and that’s why her silence unnerves you.
“Problem?”
A little startled, you spin around to see Baekhyun.
“Nah, just Katy asking for the code.”
“Really..?”, he frowns. “You seem a bit…” 
“I thought it might be Bean…”, you shrug your shoulders. “Can you try Minnie, please?”
“He’s out of town on business”, Baekhyun replies casually.
“What?”
“He had to go, sweetie.”
“Had to go? Don’t you decide that?”
“What’s your point?”
“Well… Why didn’t you tell me?” 
Baekhyun cocks his head to the side. It makes your chest tighten.
“You want me to ask you how to do my job?”
“Of course not”, you say, deflated. “I’m just disappointed.”
“Well, you have guests in the other room. Maybe you should think more about them instead of sitting in here having a tantrum over someone who doesn’t even answer your calls. Shouldn’t you?”
You don’t want to let Baekhyun off the hook for not telling you about Min, but you know it wouldn’t make a difference if you continued. 
“I just don’t get why Beanie’s not picking up… What if something’s wrong?”
“She has a kid, she’s probably busy. And at this hour”, he says, looking at his watch “...she probably has her phone on mute. Come on now. I spent a lot of money on this, you don’t wanna ruin it for everyone, do you?”
Letting his words sink in, logic and guilt alike, you come to terms with the situation and realise that you really don’t want to ruin it for everyone, or yourself. You shake your head with a crooked smile.
“That’s my girl. No more pouting”, Baekhyun says, with a light poke on your nose. 
  Getting into bed you look through your phone one last time; check the call log and text messages, in case you’ve somehow clicked Beanie away, but there’s nothing there. Now, with not so little alcohol in your system you don’t worry about her being okay, but about your friendship. Had you done something wrong? Or rather, did she think you had; had she misunderstood something maybe? You try to put it out of your mind, but it sits like a little pebble in your gut, only given a break by Baekhyun.
“Thank god they’re gone..!”, he exclaims, dragging you on top of him. 
“You talked the most, drank the most-”
“I was trying to scare them away”, he laughs between kisses. “Every fucking time you moved on the couch I imagined it was me under there… Now be a good girl and ride me, sweetie.”
                                        ¤¤ 
As you hadn’t been able to get a hold of Beanie the following couple of days you had made up your mind to go to her and Minnie’s home - one of these days. Deciding to do something and having the courage to do it can be two very different things, and it fell on divine intervention to push you forward.
Waiting for Baekhyun to pick you up from the mall you spot Minnie walking across the parking lot.
“Min..!”, you shout, zig-zagging your way through the parked cars.
He smiles when he spots you, but you detect a degree of discomfort in it.
“Oh, hi. What are you doing here?”
“I’ve been to lunch with my mom, just waiting for Baekhyun to pick me up.”
“Lunch date with mom, that’s nice. I haven’t seen you in a while, how are you?”, he asks, as he starts for his car again.
“I’m good. You?”
“I’m good, just came back from out of town-”
“Yeah”, you interrupt. “That’s actually what I wanted to ask you about… Is Beanie alright? She didn’t come to my party and I can’t get a hold of her.”
“Yeah, she’s fine. You know how it is, busy with the baby and all… She probably just forgot.”
 Even with his face turned away as he’s putting his bags in the trunk you can tell he’s not being honest. You’re not sure if you want to know why though. You study his face as he rounds the car to the driver’s door - he’s clearly uncomfortable, trying to force a normal demeanour, so you press him on it.
“But I don’t think she’d forget about it. Or not get in touch on her own - we talk almost every day, Min.”
“Shit...”, he says, fidgeting with the keys. “I asked her not to go, okay. To keep a little distance for a while.”
“From me? Why? I thought we were-”
“No, it’s…”
They way he’s frowning and struggling with his words you know why.
“Baekhyun asked me to”, he finishes, holding his hands up in defeat.
“What, no. You must’ve misunderstood, Min”, you say, not wanting to let on what you’re really thinking. “Why would he?”
“He didn’t say, he just… Aeh, you know what? Maybe I did misunderstand him. Talk to him when you see him, it’s probably nothing”, he says, getting into the car.
“Yeah, I’ll tell him you ruined my party over nothing”, you chuckle. “Tell Bean to answer next time, alright?”
“Will do. See you around?”
“See ya”, you say, waving him off.
  You spend the few minutes you have left to wait wondering - fearing - why Baekhyun would ask such a thing of Minnie. Actually, you’re not wondering at all - you know why. But if that’s the case what does it mean? Why wouldn’t he sit down with you and have a conversation about it like an adult? Why would he essentially order Min to keep her away? He must know what it looks like… And what would Beanie think it looks like? What the hell are you gonna tell her when you see her again? “If you see her, you mean? I will see her.” You promise yourself you won’t let Baekhyun get away with this, that you’re gonna have a proper talk about it. But your resolve gets a nick as soon as you get in the car, for a moment pretending that it might just be a misunderstanding…
“How’s your mom?”
“You know, same old, same old.”
“Nothing new on the westfront..?”, he smiles at you and takes your hand.
“Not much. But I saw Min. Bumped into him, I mean. Just now.”
You can’t tell if you sound casual. When Baekhyun tightens his grip on your hand you definitely feel less than casual.
“Hm. Beanie?”
“No, it was just him. He-”
“So what’d he say?”, he asks, keeping his eyes on the road.
This is your in, but you’re not as brave as you were five minutes ago. If you bring it up you can’t unsay it and everything that follows will be your doing; do you want to spend a wonderful evening with your man or do you want to walk around on glass shards?
“Beanie thinks you don’t like her…”
He spares you a quick glance with a furrowed brow.
“He said that?”
“Not exactly. He said, eh, I don’t wanna be a tattle tale...”
“What are you, ten years old?”, he scoffs. “We can talk about it when we get home”, he continues and lets go of your hand. 
 It’s sickening, the darkness that emanates from him. Even shifting in your seat to look out the window you feel like a bother to him. You don’t want to “talk about it”, you want to shout at him for trying to decide who your friends are, and for cutting you off. But you also wanna sweep it under the rug, beg his forgiveness with your saddest eyes and let him know he’s more important than anyone else.
                                            ¤¤
  From the garage to the elevator to the hallway, every step feels like you're walking closer to springing a bear trap you set for yourself.
“You’re hovering...”, Baekhyun notes when you stand by the kitchen island, watching him scroll through his phone.
“Well, you said...we were gonna talk…”
“What’s there to talk about?”
You look at him, dumbfounded, until he puts away his phone and raises a questioning eyebrow.
“Minnie. Did you say anything to him about Beanie? I’m hoping it’s a misun-”
“That he should keep her away? Yeah.”
“Why would you do that? She’s my friend!”
“Don’t raise your voice at me.”
“Baekhyun…”
You try to find the right words as your eyes start burning, but end up throwing your hands up in defeat.
“She’s my friend…”
“Sweetie”, he says, coming up to you, looking down at you. “I’ve known her longer than you, I think I know what’s best.”
“I can take care of myself. Make my own decisions.”
“Sure you can. But I’m the one who moved you from a tiny apartment to a skyrise flat, no?”, he chuckles.
You know he sometimes has a tendency to poke fun at you, but this was different. Going from letting you know it doesn’t matter what your paycheck says to making sure you know it does - the audacity doesn’t make you angry, it hurts you.
“Why do you have to put me down? Like in the car, when you called me ten..”
“What am I supposed to do with you when you act like this then?” Pausing, seemingly drawing pleasure from your expression he continues in a softer tone, putting his arms around you “I was only kidding, you’re too sensitive, sweetie.”
“I guess I am...”, you whisper, knowing you can’t make him listen anyway. “I’m gonna take Ga’ out.”
   Giving Baekhyun the silent treatment doesn’t work. He sees through it, thinks it’s childish and wants no part of it. Besides, he’s better at it than you are; making some calls, working in his home office, reading the paper while seemingly not noticing your silent rebellion. After a while the TV and Gawa can’t keep your fearful thoughts away, the ones where he decides you’re no fun anymore. The clock is creeping closer to dinner time and that’ll be make or break as you see it - making up and eating together or eating alone and making a bad situation worse. You don’t want to give up even more of your pride, but his silence won’t stop any other way. “And besides, a relationship is about diplomacy. Sometimes you have to let the other person win.. It’s normal.”
 You walk past his study and the kitchen to find him lying in bed with his phone. Quiet as a mouse you sit down on your end, suddenly scared it won’t work, that he’ll brush away your attempt at reconciliation like so many bread crumbs from the mattress. “Do I beg?” A part of you is disgusted with yourself because you know he’s waiting for you to crawl back. He doesn’t look at you when you turn around to face him, but oh, he’s waiting alright. Shuffling up next to him you cautiously lower yourself down, hoping he’ll let you in. When he moves his arm for you to lay down, putting it around you when you have, the release you feel is immeasurable. Winning or losing isn’t so important. Baekhyun is. He runs his hand over your hair, eyes still fixed on the phone, you stretch your arm out, tucking your fingers beneath his shirt to feel his warm torso. That other stuff may be important, but not right now. 
                                            ¤¤
“Dear Diary in my head… Why didn’t I say anything? I’m not afraid of him, so why was I afraid to? I was lazy ‘cus I didn’t wanna go on with the fight. But I’m not a fucking school girl wanting a boy’s approval, so I should’ve insisted. Now it sounds pathetic, “I should’ve insisted I be allowed to see Beanie”, like he’s my dad - shit, that’s what Beanie said… I AM allowed to see her, goddamn it, and I will, I don’t care. He’s the one being unreasonable - as if I love every single one of his friends..! If that article is what he's mad about it doesn't even make sense, ‘cus he’s not like that. But what if he is...like that rumour she was talking about… Jesus CHRIST, I’d know if he was! Now I’m just winding myself up ‘cus I’m irritated, stop it. I know how he is; hot headed in the moment, but forgets about it quickly. I mean what, he’s gonna hate on his colleagues wife forever? Ah-ah, he’ll get over it. And I need to stop being such a pushover when we argue, that’s for damn sure…”
                                           ¤¤ 
“How many times have you seen her?”, Baekhyun asks coldly, holding up your phone.
You hadn’t, as you first thought, forgot to take it with you to the bedroom last night - he’d taken it before you woke up. There’s no room for you to come up with a lie, white or other. Actually, this time there’s not even room for your dread as you immediately get pissed off at him for taking it.
“I didn’t opt out of having a password for you to go through my phone”, you say sternly, going to retrieve it from him. When he moves you fix your eyes on him “Baekhyun..!”
“How many times?”
“A few times. She’s my friend, and I missed her. I know y-”
“A few times?”
There’s a glint in his eye that makes you unsettled so you make like you’re starting breakfast, with him following you.
“What do you talk about?”
“Nothing. This and that…”
“For example..?”
“I don’t keep a log, do I?”, you mumble sarcastically, more to yourself than him. 
Before you have time to react he's grabbed your arm, making your head bounce against the wall.
"What did you just say?", he spits in your face, but seeing how you cower, eyes locked on his hand hanging in the air, he remembers himself. "So fucking dumb", he hisses, releasing his grip on you with a shove to the side.
Toppling over, trying to compose yourself you see him snatching his blazer from his seat before leaving. 
  In an instant Baekhyun has made you so small you feel that the chairs, table and island are all towering up around you where you sit on the floor. Your eyes are fixed on the door, terrified you’re going to see the lock turn open. You won’t hear it through the piercing sound in your ears. “He was gonna hit me…” Understanding he’s not coming back you stand up, bracing yourself against the wall. What now? You look around aimlessly, not even realising you’re clutching your arm, until you see your phone on the counter. Like a bolt the obvious answer hits you: “You can’t stay.”  Hurrying to the closet you grab one of Baekhyun’s overnight bags - he won’t miss it - and open the drawers, grabbing a handful of everything and stuffing them in it; tearing clothes off their racks, making the hangers fall to the floor with a clank and sweep toiletries in  with one movement. Lacing up your shoes your heart threatens to break your chest in half. You repeatedly call Gawa, then remember your mom’s had him a few nights.
“Where’s my...” You look around for your jacket in a fever, unable to focus. 
“Did he take my jacket? My keys...no...”, you think even though you’re certain you never saw him with it.
“Ah!”
 Running to your room you breathe a sigh of relief when you see it hanging on a chair; putting it on you check your pockets to see everything’s there and *qo...*. You freeze. Was that the bolt sliding? Not hearing any other sounds you slide your phone open, ready to call whomever, leaving sweat marks over the screen, and inch your way out to the dining room. 
“Baekhyun..?”
 Your bag is right there. If he’s somehow managed to come in without you hearing it, he’s seen it, and with the open floor plan the only doors in the apartment are on the bathroom, office and walk-in closet - all situated round the entrance. You can’t lock yourself in. Your gut churns as you expect him to round the corner with his head to the side - the way it always is when he disapproves of something. Feeling like he’s toying with you, you give way to despondency, wiping your tears before you keep walking and turn the corner. But he’s not there. The door is locked. You sink down on wobbly legs, catching your breath. Grabbing your bag you hear that sound again, and realise it was just a glass bottle in the bag settling, knocking against another one. 
“Fuck! Jesus Christ…”
 Sitting down you start thinking about where to go. In the back of your head you’d assumed your mom’s place, but now you see there are only two ways that could go: you don’t tell her why, so she’ll invite Baekhyun in when he comes looking or you do tell her and she’ll insist you report him to the police. But what’s there to report? “He DIDN’T hit me. He grabbed your arm! Yeah, he grabbed my arm in a fight when he found out I’d been lying to him… They won’t do anything…”
“Why did I lie to him..! None of this would've happened if I’d been honest, just told him the first time I saw her. And if I hadn’t acted like that when he asked… Of course he'd be angry, anyone would. Being angry is one thing, punching someone is different. But he didn't… I mean, haven't I been so annoyed I've wanted to hit him? It's not the same thing! Why not? Because he happens to be stronger than me? It's still violence...You KNOW why it isn't… If he HAD, sure, I'd never let him near me again, but he didn’t. He wouldn’t… He wouldn’t.”
 Going back and forth with yourself in your head was just a formality and a way to convince yourself you're the type of person that 1: won't tolerate being treated like shit, and 2: would give someone a second chance. “Everyone deserves a second chance. At least a chance to explain themselves.” 
Putting your things back you make sure they are exactly as they had been, while ignoring the voice that asks why you’re worried he might be able to tell a difference. Now there’s nothing left to do but somehow pass the excruciatingly long hours until he gets off work...
                                        ¤¤
 Not hearing from Baekhyun all day had you go from thinking he’d been wrong to fearing he’d still think you were.
If you can forgive him then surely he can forgive you, right? If he’s still angry, you’ll make an effort; if he doesn't say anything about it, neither will you. You’ll go on as usual, have a visit with your mom, be fine. 
Standing in front of the mirror in your closet, trying to figure out what top to wear has a different feeling to it today; you're trying to cover up your arm. There isn't any bruising on it as far as you can tell, but you never know… When the lock turns your pulse goes up. You’ve been anxiety ridden all day, as well as longing for him to come home, so you can really put this thing past you and go back to normal. 
He peeks in through the door with a gentle smile and presents a bouquet - yellow peonies.
"I think roses are the official flower of apology, but I know how you love these."
“He’s not mad, thank God, he’s not mad…” 
"I don't know what came over me”, he starts, coming up to you. “It must be all the stress at work, with the buy-out and I… I would never hurt you! When I saw that look in your eyes I couldn’t believe what I was doing-”
“Why didn’t you call me all day?”, you ask, teary-eyed with relief.
“I wanted to, sweetie, but I...every time I picked up the phone I saw that look and I didn’t know what to say… I’ll never hurt you again, I swear.”
“You real...really scared me”, you manage to say through choppy breaths.
“I know. I’ll do whatever you want, give you anything you want”, he says, hugging you tightly “...just forgive me.”
You don’t take pleasure in seeing him distraught, but note that suddenly the roles are reversed - he’s the one pleading, and you have the power to lift him up.
“You have to promise me, Baekhyun.”
“I promise, sweetie. I promise..!”
He tips your head up by the chin:
“You believe me, right?"
With such sincerity in his eyes and tremble in his voice, how could you not?
“Good”, he says when you nod, giving you your long awaited kiss. “I’m so sorry…”
“Let’s...”, you exhale deeply, turning to the mirror again.“Let’s not talk about it anymore, okay?”
“Sure. What are you up to?”
“I'm just deciding what to wear. We have to be at my mum's in forty-five minutes, so if you're gonna shower before we go…”
Coming up to stand behind you in the mirror, the way he puts his hands on your shoulders makes you wince, if ever so slightly. But he doesn't notice. 
"Do you really think it's a good idea for us to go over there today? I think we could really need this time for ourselves. Don't you agree?"
"But I've already told her we're coming over…"
"I know, but with everything that's been going on… Tell you what...You go put these in water and I'll give her a call, tell her I've got a migraine."
"I have to get Gawa, she's had him four days already", you say, happy to have found a good reason for going over.
"She won't mind will she?", he asks, spinning you around to look you in the eyes. "Aren't I as important as him? I've really missed you today, sweetie."
You don't want to upset him again, and you've really missed him too. So you give in. 
Curled up on the sofa with your head on Baekhyun's chest, his fingers are playing with your hair.
"Sweetie? Have you thought about maybe letting your mum have Gawa?"
"Have him? Past tomorrow?"
"Keep him. For good, I mean."
"What? No, why?"
"Don't get upset", he says soothing you. "I don't mean he can't come over from time to time."
A sickening feeling creeps into your heart, but not wanting to risk another fight so soon you hold your tongue. Nonchalantly flipping through the channels on the TV he adds:
"We don't have to decide anything now. It's just...something to think about."
                                            ¤¤ 
  Drying your hands after finishing up the dishes at your mom's you hear Baekhyun from the living room:
"... to have him full time."
Your stomach's in knots as you join them. Baekhyun smiles and grabs your hand. 
"I was just telling your mom how we think she should keep Gawa - if you want to, of course", he adds thoughtfully, looking at your mom. 
"But he's your everything, honey", your mom, correctly, points out. "Why would you ev-"
She cuts herself off with eyes growing wide.
"Are you pregnant..!? Oh, oh..!", she blurts out before you can stop her.
"No!"
Baekhyun bursts out laughing, pulling you to sit on his lap.
"Not yet, mother. But who knows, might not be too long before you hear the tapping of little feet around here…", he jokes.
At least you hope he is. Not feeling entirely comfortable with the turn the conversation has taken, you get up, calling Gawa to you. 
"Well, I guess we should be going, mom. Come on, Baekhyun, Ga'."
There's a flicker in Baekhyun's eyes, but you know he won't make a scene in front of your mom.
"We'll give you some time to think about it", he says, hugging her goodbye. 
You can feel the cold emanating from him like dry ice in the elevator. 
"I'll drop you off at home before I head into the office", he says, clearing his throat. 
"It's Saturday, you're off."
"I might as well get some work done if you don't want to be with me. If you choose that animal over me."
                                         ¤¤
  Forty-eight hours ago you had been looking forward to the weekend; visiting your mom with your handsome, successful boyfriend and winding down with the love of your life - Gawa. But nothing had gone the way you had imagined. Even after the incident it was as if Baekhyun hadn't let go of your arm, keeping you under his eye and forcing you to prove your loyalty to him. But then again, you had just been through something big, however short it was. It was only natural he'd want a little more attention from you than normal, right? He probably didn't mean for you to give Gawa up for good, it was just bad wording. He loved seeing you happy, why else would he buy you flowers and jewellery, insist that you cut back your hours at work to be home more, call you every other hour to say hi? 
  Thinking about it in those terms made it simple - if not easy - for you to do what he wanted. Because he was what you wanted, wasn't he? So, not having told him you were returning Gawa to your mom the same day you were waiting for him to come back home. What had started as excitement about pleasing him had, as the hours passed, turned into a tremendously guilty conscience and now, lying in bed as he approaches, you can't even pretend to be happy.
"Why is it so dark in here?", he asks, throwing his blazer on the bed. "Where's Ga'? Gawa..!", he calls.
"He's not here", you answer him, your back still turned against him. "He's with mom…"
"Oh, sweetie", he sighs, laying down behind you, giving you a kiss on the neck. "I didn't mean for you to take him back today. Turn around, let me see that pretty face. That's better", he says, brushing the hair out of your eyes.
"My red eyes and runny nose is better?", you pout, partly fishing for a compliment. 
"Mm-hm. Of course I don't like to see you sad, but I really appreciate what you've done. It shows that you respect me. That you really care about me."
Little by little his words push away your melancholy. The way he's looking at you now, with his gentle brown eyes and sweet smile, prickles your skin. This is the reaction you had wanted from him.
"And besides…", he continues, slipping his hand under your t-shirt "I've been thinking about what your mother said… About a baby."
"No. Baekhyun, that's insane. That’s…"
"Why? Too soon? Who decides that? Look...", he says, nudging your t-shirt up to show your stomach "...can't you imagine a little Baekhyun growing in here? Or my daughter? Walking in the park with the stroller, showing the baby to everyone at work… I’d show you off to everyone the minute I found out."
“Aeh..”, you swat your hand as he gets up, but when he’s out of the room you scrunch your face with delight at the thought of it. Somehow you can see it. But in your stomach isn't just the butterflies of an imagined little life - it’s the whispered knowledge that you've left the right love behind.

Sometimes moving on is good
Chapter 5 pt2
Warning: slight smut
It had been a week since you had asked diane to go with you to the fun fair.
You were nervous to ask her again but, since she said that she was willing to try you did.
"Diane, will you go out at the fun fair with me tomorrow, they arrived two days ago already ?"
After a bit of esitaton she agreed, but told you she would not be doing the horror house or whatever that thing was called.
"So it's a date then, I'll pick you up tomorrow at 4pm and we'll have a nice evening then maybe if you are nice to me, I'll take you for a walk and we can have dinner at my house. Sounds good '?"
She nodded and you left before you were late for work. She always asked why you didn't work from her house since you worked at home. But you told her you didn't want to mess up her clean house with your stuff and your atelier was better for what you did anyways.
You gave her a quick kiss before leaving and she held your hand as you did.
The next day you were a bit nervous, not like you're first date, but rather because there was a lot of ways diane could not enjoy herself or even worst be hurt.
But you pushed that aside as you went to pick her up, she looked good, as usual, And she was even smiling.
"Hey !"
"Hi y/n, good to see you" she said before giving you a peck on the lips.
"You ready to go ?"
"Yeah Sure let's do this"
When you got there you opened up the door for her to come out, and closed the vehicle.
She looked a bit amazed
-"i haven't been there since I was a kid"
She said her eyes a bit watery.
So you hugged her lighltly from behind and placed a kiss on her neck.
"Let's make new memories then diane."
As you saw the first ride you took her hand and lead her to it
-"no, no no no wait we can discuss this...OMG it's huge"
you laughed and paid for your tickets as you pulled diane to your seats
"Oh are you scared now ? Don't worry I'm here i won't let you throw up"
"Aha very funny y/n, i am not scared ju...AH"
She was straddled by the small rollercoaster's move.
And clung to you for dear life.
"Diane you are not going to fall you are attached here"
you said as you pushed the bar in front of you. But she didn't stop holding you for the intier ride.
When you got out her hair was a mess and you were both laughing slightly.
You spend the afternoon going on different rides, and then stopped at a food truck.
"Do you guys have chichis or like what are they called churros?" You asked the cooking guy.
"Yes ma'am indeed we do"
"Well I'll have 25 with powdered sugar."
"Here goes 25 churros max !"
You turned around and diane was lost in her thoughts looking at a cute girl drinking a soda so you pecked her cheek softly and told her she was beautiful while you put a strand of hair behind her hear.
"Diane...tell me what's going on in that pretty little head of yours?"
-" I'm happy"
-"what?" You asked a little stunned at what she'd just said.
-"I'm happy, right now, with you. Before I met you I would have seen that girl and immediately get angry because her parents have her, and i don't have chloe. But now, with you I'm happy, happy that this girl ever there is smiling and laughing while drinking this sugar field stuff."
-"oh Diane, you don't know how happy it makes me to hear you say that, you know I really care about you...and"
-" 25 CHICHIS OVER THERE MA'am" you were cut of by your order, so you paid and took your food.
"Here you NEED to taste this" you said as you handed her one.
"This really looks like a penis y/n"
-"WHAT"
-"Well yes It does"
-"OH MY GOD WHAT KIND OF DICK DID YOU SEE IN YOUR LIFE THAT LOOKED LIKE THIS"
You both burst out laughing as you held a churro in your hand.
You continued to walk while eating and doing some of the rollercoaster and games for a few hours talking about everything.
You took her hand again and lead her to a
Stall.
"Okay imma try to win you this one"
-"I'd like to see you try"
-"you underestimate me diane"
-"well do it then"
You had to shoot all of the blue balloons in order to win. After your second try diane said that you both should try something else but you insisted.
-"wait you know what they say, third time's the charm"
And you won, she looked at you with wide eyes.
-"How did you get it ?! Those games are rigged"
-"i know but as soon as you get were the trap is, you can avoid it"
It was almost 7pm and the sun was starting to set.
"So have you been good today diane ?"
-"what ?"
-"I told you if you were good i'dd take you somewhere so...were you a good girl today ?"
She couldn't help but get a little aroused at your words but it was something you'd explore later.
-"i think so ?"
-"Okay that's good enough for me" you giggled softly and took your car and drove of.
-"where are we going y/n"
-"it's a surprise diane now close your eyes"
"Oh..okay" she said shyly.
You both arrived a few minutes later at what looked like a dead-end.
"Are you sure you took the right road darling"
-"yed, i took the exact one i wanted"
You stopped the engine close to the edge of the road.
"There we are diane, time to get out of the car".
You both got out and she was confused about where you were. So you went to her side and lead her by the hand to where you wanted and she smiled at you.
"Here, don't move and don't peak"
You went back to the car, at some point she got scared you were going to leave her here and drive off, like her mom did to her once because she wasn't doing what she wanted.
Somehow you understood her fear and yelled from the car;
"don't worry I'm not leaving you here, just grabbing some stuff."
She laughed at how ridiculous it was for her to fear that you'd leave, you were too gentle and caring for that.
You got back with a cover that you set on the grass, a few pillows and what looked like a
Cool box.
You helped her sit as she still had her eyes shut.
"There, you can open them".
She blinked a few time to adjust to the light before she took in the amazing picture she had in front of her. You were at the edge of a cliff, with the sun setting on the horizon, and she could see green fields and forests from kilometers around.
"This view is so beautiful y/n"
"It is..."
You told her as you were looking at a very different landscape, her. Her beautiful brown eyes shining orange as the sun goes down, her long and golden red hair cascading down her naked shoulders. She looked at you and your replied.
"It is...this view is beautiful" emphasizing that you ment that she was the beautiful view.
She smiled lovingly and you share a few kisses.
"I know I said we'd have dinner at my house but I couldn't help but think that a picnic here would be perfect. So I brought a few things, wine...pasta...cheese...and cake"
You pulled everything out of the cool bag and set it on the blanket.
"Oh y/n ! You have the best ideas."
You ate as you chatted and stared at the sky, when you finished the cake she said.
-"See i told you, you had overcooked it last time, now it's perfect."
"Yeah, i gotta admit, i did pretty good here"
You stayed like this for a while cuddled together as the night came. You felt her shiver and as much as you didn't want to ruin the moment you knew you should get back.
"Hey... it's getting cold here, we should go back home"
"I don't want the night to be over, of we go home, I'll only see you tomorrow."
-"no it's fine you can sleep at my house tonight."
She held your gaze for a while.
"No funny business, I promise"
She chuckled and agreed.
You drove back to your house, diane staring at the moon, and your hand on her lap most of the ride.
When you got to the door she asked ;
"Wait, i don't have my stuff to sleep should I get it?"
-"No it's fine I'll hand you some stuff"
-"oh okay"
-"So do you want to watch a movie or go to bed directly ? Or both at the same time for that matter, i have a tv in my bedroom."
-"both?"
-" don't ask me, I'm asking you diane."
-"well both then"
-"Both it is"
You took her hand and lead her to your bedroom. You found some oversized t shirt and shorts for yourself and asked her if she wanted some too, which she did.
After you got ready for bed she got out of the bathroom and she looked really sexy, the short showing her slim legs.
"Hey"
-"hi..." She replied in a small voice.
"Don't shy away diane, you are very beautiful like this, and If you don't want me to sleep here, I'll sleep in the guest room."
-"okay...so what are we watching ?"
-"i got 'tomorrowland", "gravity" or "the fault in our stars or literally anything else here, "Carol" or "elisa and Marcela"?"
-"the last one please"
-"the last on it is"
You put the dvd in and got up on the bed next to her. When the movie was over you were ...-horny-...no happy and so was diane.
"I had an amazing night y/n"
-"me too diane"
-"i wish everyday could be like this"
-"yeah..me too"
"Thank you for tonight, it was perfect"
-"thank you for being perfect"
She giggled and it send a shiver down your spine.
You were both really close, your back against the headboard and her back between your legs. She turned around and sat on her heels.
-"I really appreciate everything you do form me"
-"and i appreciate that you let me do them for you, and that you are here with me"
you softly replied before kissing her sweetly.
It was just a peck at first but then she started kissing back and by the time you were done you had her on her back, your hands caressing her hips and you were making out with her.
Your hands went under her shirt and found her bra covered breast that you kneaded lightly. She moaned against your lips and you started to kiss your way down her neck, as you worked on getting her shirt off. You heard her soft whimper of pleasure as you bit her skin gently and traced your fingers over her nipples.
You took off her bra and kissed her chest electing soft cries from her as she arched her back. She wasn't very vocal but her breathing was a good indicator of what she liked.
After you started to sick on her buds she held your head up slightly looking at your eyes "wait".
You immediately got the message and was quicker to put it into words. "Hey..we don't have to do anything tonight, we can stop anytime and just cuddle for a while before we sleep...we can take this as slow as you want."
"I...can we...I'm not sure I'm quite ready to have sex with you tonight"
you pushed yourself off of her. And laid next to her while you whispered softly;
"alright do you wanna put your shirt back on and cuddle maybe ?"
-"i'dd like that...sorry"
-"hey no no no no... No need to apologise sweet thing...we are not doing anything you are uncomfortable with okay ? I'm already happy with being here with you. I can wait as long as you need." You got off the bed and she got worried, but her fears vanished away when she saw you were just looking for her shirt that you threw in excitement. "There, found it" you said as you handed it to her. You got under the covers and she finished putting her clothes back on. Once she was done you scooted close to her and asked her if she was okay with you spooning her.
"Yes I'd like that too". You pressed her back against your front and circles your arms around her middle as your legs were touching. "Goodnight beautiful".
"Night my sweet y/n"

Toxic II (Modern!Ivar X Reader)
A/N: Hi! I never thought there would be anyone that would seriously read the first part! Thank you so much for that and the feedback I got. That means a lot to me! This part is a bit longer than the last. I hope you enjoy! Let me know your thoughts! 
Warnings: Mafia, spying, angst, talking about death, a soft Ivar
Words: 2k
____________
Tumblr media
gif is not mine
____________
POV Y/N:
The hot smoke of my cigarette filled my lungs as I inhaled while the cold morning breeze embraced me. I was standing on my balcony of my apartment. Thoughts still all over the place from the night before. As I watched the sunrise do it’s thing my phone started buzzing.
Did it work? 
Aethelwulf. He held me hostage when my family got killed. He told me it was for a greater purpose. I guess this shithole is what he ment. I didn’t had a choice. 
I tried to ignore the message and put my phone away. My phone started buzzing again.
Meet me at 9 pm at the bar Odin’s Cave.
Even though it was an unknown number I knew it was Ivar. My heart dropped at the thought that he might know about me and Aethelwulf. I immediately started panicking and lit another cigarette to cool myself down but it didn’t really helped.
As I finished my cigarette and ignored the non stop buzzing on my phone, my doorbell started ringing. I got up and went to open. Aethelwulf. 
“A little bird told me that you got invited to a little meeting tonight. Let’s get you ready”, Aethelwulf said. His bodyguards stepped in front of him and grabbed me on each side of my arm, leading me downstairs.
____________
POV Ivar:
I sat there in my office looking at the file my contact man did for me. Her face is so marvellous. I tried to remember every detail he found of her. Her birthday. Her education. Her hobbies. And most importantly her disappearance after the death of her whole family.
The door on my office opened. Hvitserk came in and told me that the driver is downstairs to bring us to the bar. We went down and we set off.
Half an hour later she came into the bar. Hvitserk and I sat in the darkest corner to prevent people hearing what we had to discuss. She looked so wonderful but so frightened. I could see her nervously looking for whoever sent her that message this morning. I could feel her heart stop when her eyes locked in with mine. I gestured her to sit in front of us and her movements followed as if she was in trance. Her eyes never leaving mine.
“I knew you would follow my friendly invitation”, I said when she sat down.
____________
POV Y/N:
I felt like I was frozen. His words hitting me like little knives.
“Guess, I didn’t have a choice, did I?” My hands were cold but sweating. 
“Do you want something to drink?”, Hvitserk asked and I immediately felt more comfortable. He sure is a player but he is lovely. Unlike Ivar.
“Yes, an irish whiskey please.” 
Hvitserk went to the bar to get the drinks. Ivar and I just sat there in silence. His eyes never left me. How can someone be so intimidating?
Hvitserk returned with the drinks and I took a sip right away, hoping that would loosen my body. I looked up at them and both of them kept staring at me.
“So, why did you order me here?”, I spoke softly, trying to break this loud silence. Ivar smirked. 
“I wanted to show you how powerful I am and that you don’t even have to think about lying to me”, he almost whispered. “I know everything about you, Y/N.” He leaned forward and rested his elbows on the table. I felt my body tense up.
“Your father was the best man of Ecbert, right?” I nodded, scared of what will follow. “But Ecbert got your family killed after Ecbert found out that your parents wanted to overthrow his reign.” Ivar’s eyes turned dark and I knew that this would not end well.
“Y/N, can you explain to me how you had to watch everyone in your family die when you weren’t even in your village at that time?” My heart dropped. He knew and I already said goodbye to my life in my head. 
“How come you tell us lies?”
“I- I didn’t- It’s not what it looks like. I swear.” I tried to form words to get me out of this shitty situation. I knew I was fucked either way. 
Hvitserk chuckled and playfully hit his brother. “Maybe we should show her what happens when you lie to us.” Ivar looked back at him and started smiling brightly.
“No, please.” I whimpered. I noticed a napkin in front of Ivar and took it. Thank god I always have a pen in my purse, which I took out. The brothers looked at me confused. 
I started to make up a story while I wrote something completely different on the napkin.
Aethelwulf took me hostage and wants me to spy on you. He put a tape recorder on me for this meeting with you. He and his spies are sitting in front of the bar in a black car. I want to help you!
As I continued telling that made-up story I turned the napkin to them. They read it and immediately checked what I wanted to tell them. They looked up at me and I pulled the top of my blouse apart to where you could see the cables. I continued putting my hair behind my ear so they could see the earpiece they put on me. Hoping no one except them sees it.
“And that’s how I watched everything even though I was on the other side if the country. They filmed everything.” I ended my story like that.
Hvitserk and Ivar looked at each other. I could tell they believed me.
“Y/N, why don’t you tell us everything you know about Aethelwulf back at our place?”, Hvitserk asked and Ivar looked at me nodding. I knew they wanted to help me. 
“Tell them yes. Go with them”, Aethelwulf told me through the earpiece. I slowly pointed to my ear, trying to tell them Aethelwulf said something.
“Yeah, sure. I’d love to.”
____________
POV Ivar:
As we arrived at our mansion I got my bodyguards to watch out for any spies. I really wanted to help Y/N break away from Aethelwulf.
We sat in the kitchen of our home and talked. I placed a notebook and a pencil in front of her and wrote out a question while Hvitserk told some stories about our childhood to show Aethelwulf that we trusted her.
Do you need anything from your apartment? We can send some of our men.
Hvitserk continued to talk about how father played with us in the garden.
I got a bag already packed for this. It’s in my bedroom inside my closet. I prepared everything days ago.
“Do you remember that, Ivar? That used to be so fun.” - “Oh yes, I always felt like a normal child with him”, I answered to keep anyone on the other side of Y/N’s earpiece from getting suspicious. 
I read the answer Y/N wrote down, looked up at her and nodded.
“If you excuse me for a second, please. I’ve gotta go to the bathroom”, I said while standing up. Hvitserk and Y/N nodded and kept a conversation rolling.
I went to Ubbe’s room and told him everything. “Go to the isolation room in the basement. There are jammer inside the wall. The connection to her devices will get lost. Then you can take them off and destroy them. I’ll get Hvitserk and go get her stuff”, Ubbe always had the best ideas. We went back as fast as possible.
“Hey Hvitserk, would you mind come with me? I want to get some snacks for us and our lovely guest.” - “Yes sure, see y’all soon.” Hvitserk and Ubbe went outside to the car. 
I looked at Y/N and she was playing with her hands on her lap. I could tell she was scared. Her eyes started tearing up, so I took her hand. She startled at my touch. 
“Y/N, would you like a tour through the mansion?” She nodded and quietly affirmed.
I showed her a few rooms before heading in the basement. I tried to calm her and showing that everything will be fine. She never let go of my hand.
“And this is our playroom. We have a pool table and…”
____________
POV Y/N:
As soon as Ivar opened the door to the playroom, besides where no pool table was, white noise came out of my earpiece and I couldn’t hear Aethelwulf. 
“Can you still hear him?” I shook my head in response. “Good. This is our isolation room. There are jammers in the walls. Every digital connection is now cut off.” Ivar came closer to me. “You can now take them off.”
My eyes started watering in relief. “Thank you”, I sobbed and hugged Ivar. He clearly was shocked but I didn’t care.
Ivar turned around so I could start taking off my clothes. Then we could get rid off the devices. As I stood there only in my lace underwear Ivar turned around without warning.
“That is a very delightful view”, Ivar chuckled when I gasped in shock.
“Sorry. Here take my hoodie.” He took his black hoodie over his shoulders and I felt somewhat disappointed when I saw a T-Shirt still covering his body. 
“Wanted to see something else?”, Ivar asked. Shit, I guess, he caught me looking. “No, I- I didn’t.” I looked away trying to seem unbothered.
“You can stay in my room, I got a big bed. Or you can stay in our guest room.” Is he telling me he wants me to stay with him?
“I think I’ll stay in the guestroom.” - “Alright. Let’s get rid of these, shall we?”
-2 hours later- 
Everything went well. We destroyed the devices and Ubbe and Hvitserk got my bag and even some more stuff from my apartment.
I layed in bed in the guestroom trying to sleep but I had too much on my mind. I had an own bathroom like every bedroom here. Ivar’s room was across from mine. To clear my mind I decided to jump under the shower, that always helps me.
When I got out of the shower I could feel myself getting more relaxed. I wrapped a towel around my body and started brushing my teeth and hair. I looked in the mirror. Now it’s time to finally get some sleep.
“Hello, love”, Ivar sat on top of my bed waiting for me. 
“Gods, Ivar. You scared me.” - “I’m sorry”, he chuckled. “Just wanted to make sure you’re okay.”
Only ‘dressed’ in my towel I sat next to him. “Yeah, I am. Thank you for helping me. You have no idea for how long he made me his dog.” He smiled at me. Although he is said to be the the most dangerous man in Denmark and possibly in Europe, he is so soft. i never thought that about him until now. I could feel myself get lost in those eyes.
“I really want to kiss you right now, Y/N”, he whispered. My heart started beating fast and I didn’t know how to respond. 
Ivar put his hand on my cheek. “You are so beautiful”, he continued. His hand wandered from my cheek to the back of my head. His touch felt like fire crawling along my skin.
“Can I kiss you?”, he asked, still whispering. I couldn’t make up words but my body made my head nod. 
He pulled my head closer to his but stopped right before his face and put his other hand on the other side of my nape of my neck. I could feel him breathing out on my face. The air tensed up immediately. 
“I wanted to do this since I saw you in that tight black dress at the club last night.” Without losing anymore time his lips crushed hungrily on mine.

For the years to come
Cw: coping, using food to cope, beer ment, ask to tag.
Ok to rb.
Summary: my fix it fic bcs Marvel did me boy so dirty .
Tumblr media
When she first met him, it was right after the disaster of New York
She was sitting on the starks tower balcony near the heliport.
Looking down at the world below, it was quite windy that day, and when she shivered he put his cape on her.
--cold miss stark?--stark thor, patting her back.
-- A bit, thank you though-- said jerico,smiling at him.
Then,after Jane broke up with him, she was there to comfort him, and their friendshipp grew with every passing day.
--yknow-- said Clint,-- I bet jerico could lift that hammer-- it was during a party that thor just wanted to mess around with the team.
--oh shut it barton -- said jerico.
--oh come on its worth a try!-- added the god of thunder pulling his friend closer to him.
--nope, just like nat said thats not a question I need answered
When the ultron mess happened, he was the first one to tell her to go somewhere safe.
-- I cant Belive im saying this-- Tony stark said-- but I agree with pointbreak here, youll be safe somewhere else
So she was sent away.
Jerico waited happily for his return to the earth, bringing his people here with him.
What followed was a slaughter.
And now here he was in New asgard.
--i dont even think the beers gonna do it-- said rocket.
-- I dont want to resort to this..-- said hulk.
--resort to what?
Thor almost spits his beer when he sees her again, he hugs jerico tightly, and he sighs,sniffing.
--jerico...what?--he tears up-- I dont want you to see me like this
Jer sighed, hugging him again-- youre the same thor that gave me his cape when I felt cold, thats what matters
The god of thunder looked at hulk and rocket-- im in then...
Tony, for his daughters safe keeping forbid her to help with the time travel, so she anxiously waited...and Waited.
--Dad!-- shouted Morgan hugging Tony, followed by jerico.
--And uncle thor!
Jer almost cries when he sees him, she hugs him tightly,and he hugs back.
--im back-- he whispered to her.
And even though he said he was going to go to space with the guardians, a part of him never left her.
--Peter I told you, Moms making dinner and she said theres a special guest coming, want me to pick you up?...okay...okay see you in ten , bye take care
--hey-- said pepper as jerico cut the call-- I promise its going to be okay
--why wont you tell me who it is?-- she asked to his mother.
-- because its a surprise, now go help dad set the table okay?
--yes mom
Twenty minutes later he arrived,if it Wasnt because she was too shocked she wouldve at least gasped.
-- thor! Oh thank god youre back!--she hugged her friend tightly as she could, he hugged back-- howd it go?
The Man laughed-- let me tell you about my great stories during dinner my friend, its been too long
During dinner, the god of thunder talked about his adventures with the guardians, skipping the Gore and gruesome details for Morgans well being.
And since then hes been staying at the compound.
--Thor! Wake up!-- jerico said banging on the door of her friend.
--Five more minutes!
--its your first day of getting better come on
Theres a silence that lasts some seconds before she hears him get out of bed and dressed.
--once, you helped me-- said she handing him some dumbells-- let me help you, youre my friend and I want you to be happy
-- I am happy!
--youre using food to cope, since loki came back from lord knows where, youve been eating more, doctors orders is a clean diet, workout and Friends support
-- your earth doctors dont know about asgardians
-- do they not now?-- she quipped patting his arm-- come on we got work to do
The first week was hard to get trough, the second it started well.
--thank you for helping me with my hair jerico-- said thor, handing his friend the shampoo.
-- hey Man whenever you need me-- answered the human cleaning her Friends hair.
He wont tell why he let her help him, after all that happened he couldnt loose her, she was his closest friend, she was there when the world was rough, and stuck with him through it all.
But the feelings he had for here went far more than that , but would she even like him?.
He didnt know the answer to It, but if he did he would be surprised.
-- hey...youre quiet, you okay?-- asked jer.
-- no no im fine, just thinking
-- bout what? If its not too personal
--well, I didnt think itd go like this -- said the Man cleaning his beard-- when I first met you all those years ago, I was in love with you, the more years went on and things that happened I realized that the feelings I had for you were there, I never thought id say it, I was scared for the first time, of course this whole thing was a little bit more romantic in my mind,but here we are
Jerico smiled kissing his cheek-- finish taking a bath so we can have a proper declaration okay?
The Man nodds smiling.
After he bathed and changed he let her in his room again.
--i love you-- he said hugging her tightly like they did all those times before.
--me too-- she answered kissing him, he kissed back pressing his face on her neck.
-- what would I do without you...-- he whispered tightening his hug.
--dont ponder on that, focus on today, and those Killer Abs you got going on!
He laughed rather loudly, and looked at her-- I got them thanks to you, my dear
He kisses her cheek and smiles-- well, how about some food? After todays workout im starving
-- hmm I could use some food too, do you think our secret supply is still intact?
Both walk down the stairs to the kitchen
Deadly serious he goes--it better be
Both laugh and thor kisses jerico-- though if we have time, we should Cook togheter
--we should...I Like that idea
Thankfully the kitchen was Emtpy, and though the god of thunder didnt mind company, the lack of it made everything a bit more romantic, and special, just the two of them
-- for the years to come-- he said raising his beer glass.
-- for the years to come-- said she clinking her glass with soda with his.
As they Ate toghetet they watched a movie.
For the years to come indeed.
