#IT DOENS’T SOUND RIGHT

[bbina]

since you finished packing yesterday, you were the first one to get inside the cinema room so that meant you had a loveseat all to yourself. immediately. you plopped your feet on the other side of the sofa so no one else would sit beside you. this was the last day for lounging around in a house with all your friends

not even a moment later the rest of the guys all start coming in, you figured everyone just finished doing their own thing.

suddenly the other side of the sofa dips. you look at the culprit who had the audacity to sit next to you only to see it was wonbin.

“hope this seat isn’t taken” wonbin quips, patting your leg as he moves it to the side so he can have some space to sit.

“it is, now move” you say, trying to kick him off the loveseat but he doens’t budge. instead, wonbin lifts your legs and places them on his lap.

“too damn bad” wonbin pokes his tongue out at you, leaning back as he makes himself comfortable.

eunseok passes by and makes a “bleugh” sound before sitting down on the sofa with shotaro following suit

shotaro makes eye contact with wonbin and grins, making a heart sign with his hands, referring to you and wonbin.

anton, sohee and seunghan all sit near the projector, arguing about which movie to play first.

“i say crayon shin chan!” seunghan proposes, snatching the laptop off anton’s hands as he types his favorite show onto the web. sohee lets out an irritated sigh before snatching the laptop back

“i don’t want to watch shinchan over and over again!” sohee argues, looking up new movies that everyone hasn’t seen yet.

“uh have you guys asked everyone what they wanted to watch though?” anton looks at the rest of you, just waiting for what movie they were gonna put on. eunseok hears the commotion and suggested trolls 3. you countered that by saying you wanted to watch a horror movie. but wonbin chimes in that he doesn’t want to watch anything scary the night before you all leave back to seoul, shotaro adds that he doesn’t really care what movie they’re gonna play.

at this point everyone was just talking over each other

while everyone was arguing, sungchan and his girlfriend wordlessly come into the room. they just had a little argument prior to coming and it was evident on sungchan’s face.

yujin was accusing sungchan about some baseless accusation that he was “too” concerned for your well being and that he should just drop the fact that you were with wonbin. sungchan argued back by saying he has the right to be concerned for you as you were his best friend.

not wanting to ruin the group’s plans, they just made amends for the sake of not ruining the last group bonding.

sungchan’s eyes trail towards you and wonbin when him and yujin find a spot to sit. the way your legs are on wonbin’s lap, wonbin massaging your legs as you play on your phone. sungchan couldn’t pinpoint what he was feeling over this. why does it hurt him that you’re acting like how you usually act with him with another person?

yujin notices sungchan staring and clicks her tongue in annoyance, promptly bringing sungchan back to his senses.

“them again? seriously sungchan, this is getting annoying and weird” she grumbles, arms crossed over her chest.

sungchan rsisted the urge to roll his eyes. “you’re just seeing things, jin”

yujin doesn’t say anything else and simply goes on her phone, ignoring sungchan.

“jesus christ let’s just watch everything!” you yell, having enough of everyone being indecisive.

“i wanna watch everything everywhere all at once too!” you hear sohee excitedly say to anton and seunghan who also agreed that they wanted to watch it too. not even a minute later, anton plays the movie and projects it to the big screen

you and wonbin start giggling at the fact they heard you wrong but it evidently prompted the youngests to start the movie marathon.

and so, everyone settles in and starts watching the first of many movies.

—

a couple movies in, you couldn’t take the cold much longer. you didn’t put into consideration how cold anton’s cinema room would be. you find yourself shivering next to wonbin who looked all warm and cozy thanks to his hoodie. you wrap your arms around your body, trying to conserve body heat, fidgeting next to wonbin.

“what are you doing?” he asks, noticing your discomfort

“nothing, just fixing my position” you reply, attempting to appear nonchalant (and failing)

wonbin notices the goosebumps on your skin and the way you were shivering a little. he sits up and takes off his hoodie before offering it to you.

“here” he says, handing over his hoodie to you. you hesitate for a bit before you shake your head no and refused his hoodie. wonbin rolls his eyes and pushes his hoodie back to your hands

“i’m not taking no for an answer” he says seriously, giving you a look that made you feel fuzzy. wonbin just had this effect on you when he was being serious. so you reluctantly accept the hoodie. wonbin smiles at this, commenting that you look cute in his hoodie before he resumes watching the movie.

you continue watching whatever movie was playing on the big screen, ignoring wonbin’s comment and that weird feeling in your stomach again

suddenly, wonbin removes your legs off his lap and stands up from the couch before leaving the room for a moment. when he returns, he drapes a blanket over you.

he plops back down on the couch and resumes watching the movie up front. you sit there dumbfounded by his act of service. he really took his time to get you a blanket from another room even after he already offered his hoodie.

you feel yourself blush as you sit there, touched by wonbin’s actions. who would even have thought that wonbin was that kind of boyfriend. but oh wait, he’s not your boyfriend. he’s just pretending to be. you start to feel a little conflicted. you shouldn’t even be feeling like this towards wonbin. never in a million years you’d find yourself imagining what it’s like to be wonbin’s real partner.

in attempt to pull yourself back to reality, you remind yourself that this was all fake. you and wonbin aren’t together. you never were. it was all just pretend til this whole thing is over.

maybe it wouldn’t hurt to try and be an actual couple.. even if it’s just for tonight.. you think to yourself. you were in a room with all your friends and sungchan’s girlfriend after all, might as well play the part

your eyes peer over to wonbin who was focused on the movie. you kick his back a little to grab his attention. wonbin turns around with an eyebrow raised. you motioned him to join you under the blanket

wonbin’s worried eyes glance over at eunseok who was at the other end of the room, laying on his back as his attention was fixed on the screen. even if this was all just pretend for him, he still fears eunseok just a tiny bit. he was your older brother after all and he can only guess what could go wrong if he actually pulled a move on you

wonbin feels you kick him again. he holds out his hand out, telling you to wait before scooting right next to you. you smile as you drape his side of the blanket on him before snuggling further into the couch, finally feeling warm

besides the kiss, this has been the closest wonbin has ever been next to you in front of the guys. you had a rule where there would be at least an inch of space between you just to keep things at bay but after everything that happened recently, it's safe to assume that rule has been ruled out

feeling a little risky, and tired from the awkward stiff position wonbin was in (he’s literally sat still with his hands strictly on his lap and his legs straight as a board with eunseok around), wonbin thinks that it may or may not be a bad idea to at least wrap an arm around you

wonbin suddenly leans down and whispers something to your ear

“can i wrap my arm around you? my arms is feeling a little cramped from sitting so straight” he whispers. you didn’t even need to answer him with the way your response was immediately laying your head on his chest. wonbin takes this as a yes and carefully wraps his arm over your shoulders, pulling you close to him

at that exact moment, everything suddenly feels like it’s fallen into place. this whole ordeal suddenly feels right for the both of you. you can’t deny the fuzzy feeling you’re feeling anymore. the way you are snug in wonbin’s arms just feels so right.

you can’t help but smile and sigh in content. wonbin takes it up a notch and leans his head on top of yours while rubbing random shapes on your exposed arm. almost as if this was second nature to him

you two remain in that position for a while, simply enjoying each other’s company while watching the movie. you even started absentmindedly playing with his free hand. wonbin pays no mind and even thinks that you look cute while doing it

“i need to wash my eyes with bleach, jesus christ” eunseok suddenly blurts out. his eyes wide at the sight before him. the rest of the guys look around to see what he was referring to, and their eyes fall on you and wonbin cuddling

you and wonbin simply ignore eunseok, as well as the teasing from the other guys

“eunseok just let them be” shotaro interjects, feeling happy for his best friend

“they’re so cute” seunghan adds

“wonbin hyung is so…” anton trails off, cringing a bit at the sight of his wonbin hyung being lovey-dovey

“will you guys shut up, we can’t hear the movie” wonbin grumbles. trying to block out the surprising supportive comments from his friends. despite his heart swelling at the thought that they actually like you guys together. he reminds himself that this was all for show

“bin is there popcorn left?” you ask, sitting up a bit to look over the table for the bowl of popcorn

wonbin removes his arm around you and looks for the said popcorn bowl which was empty. he shakes his head no and offers to grab some more but you pull him back to the couch, saying you’ll be the one to get it since he already went out of his way earlier to get you a blanket. you say this would be truce so you didn’t have to owe him anything. wonbin simply laughs and ushers you to hurry up before returning his attention back at the movie

with that, you leave the room to grab some more popcorn. sungchan notices and follows suit

“where are you going, chan?” yujin asks when sungchan removes his arm around her. “i’m gonna get a drink” he says, slowly getting up but is stopped when yujin clutches his shirt.

“let me come with”

“no, just stay here and keep my seat warm, okay?” was all he says before kissing the top of her head. she pouts, making sungchan’s heart swell and agrees. “fine, but could you get me a glass of water? thanks babe” she chirps before sinking further with the couch

sungchan spots you by the kitchen counter watching the little corn kernels pop. he smiles at the sight of you giggling as you watch more kernels pop and pop. you probably just added a new batch and was waiting for it to cook

he sneaks up on you before poking your side. instantly, you jump and let out a small yelp.

“fuck you” you cursed, glaring at your best friend.

“haven’t had a proper conversation with you in a while and the first thing you say to me is “fuck you”? i’m hurt, y/n” sungchan pouts, pulling out the puppy eyes on you

you huff as you divert your attention back at the popcorn maker. “what do you want sungchan”

sungchan? not jinsu? sungchan thinks to himself. he shakes his head before trying to make you look at him

“what? can’t i talk to you anymore?” sungchan raises a brow, “and whats with the government name? what happened to jinsu?” he continues, why are you suddenly mean to him?

“that’s your name isn’t it?” you sassed, hoping that the popcorn machine finishes soon. you couldn’t stand to be near sungchan much longer

“y/n” he frowns

the popcorn machine dings, signaling that it was done cooking. you hurriedly scoop a handful to pour it into your bowl. once the bowl is filled to the brim, you walked around sungchan, silent indicating that the conversation is now over

“why are you avoiding me these days?” sungchan turns around to look at you, clearly frustrated with your constant brushing off of his attempts to make a decent conversation with you

“i’m not” you deny, not wanting to continue the conversation. why can’t sungchan take the hint that you didn’t want to talk to him?

“ever since this trip started, you’ve done nothing but brush me off or avoid me. what gives?” sungchan accuses.

you stop on your tracks. a part of you just wanted to drop the bomb on him right there. you were tired of hiding your feelings for him but you know that won’t change anything. he already has yujin so what’s the point?

“are you still mad that i didn’t tell you? god, i said i was sorry already!” sungchan throws his hands up in frustration, “i’m sorry i have a girlfriend now. there, is that what you wanted to hear?” he rants

you snap your head towards him, incredulous at his accusation. yes, you were upset with him over that but that doesn’t mean you were mad at him for having a girlfriend that isn’t you.

“what the fuck is wrong with you, sungchan?” you fumed, slamming the plastic bowl filled with popcorn on the kitchen island. sungchan’s eyes widened at your outburst. already feeling regret that he said those things to you so easily

“sorry to burst your little bubble but i don’t really give a shit if you have a partner” you continued, seething “in case you haven’t noticed i’m with wonbin now” you add, the words just tumbling out before you can stop yourself

hurt flashes through sungchan’s features at the mention of wonbin. so it really is confirmed now. that you really are with wonbin

“wonbin, huh” sungchan chuckles wryly. “so you really are dating him.. since when? why tell me this now?” sungchan continues to throw out questions

that’s when it hits you. that you admitted your “relationship” with wonbin with sungchan. the initial plan of not confirming anything long gone. you internally curse yourself for digging a deeper grave, realizing that you now have to keep up the act til god knows when

“why does it matter to you? you have a girlfriend now so i shouldn’t be your concern anymore!” you bark. having enough with this conversation, you stormed out of the kitchen empty handed, leaving an upset sungchan alone in the kitchen.

“fucking hell” you cursed quietly, walking back to the cinema room. til you spot wonbin leaning by the wall, who seemed to be eavesdropping the entire time

“how much did you hear?” you ask frantically, your hands shaking.

“the part where you confirmed our “relationship” to him” wonbin says, “even if we just said we wouldn’t be doing that” he mumbles the last part.

feeling overwhelmed with everything, tears well up in your eyes. wonbin notices and quickly makes his way towards you, immediately engulfing you in his embrace. your initial irritation with sungchan gradually turns into frustration as you begin to cry

wonbin doesn’t know what took over him when he suddenly plants a kiss on your forehead, ushering you that everything will be alright but somehow it made you feel a tad bit better. the feeling of frustration slowly dispersing

you pull away for a bit, feeling a little embarrassed that wonbin’s shirt was now wet with your tears.

“sorry” you murmured, wiping your snot with the sleeve of his jacket that you were wearing, “wow i can’t believe i let someone else that isn’t eunseok see me cry” you try to crack a joke mid breakdown

wonbin chuckles, tucking the messy strays of hair away from your face. “even in a breakdown, you still managed try and crack a joke?” he muses, trying to make you feel better. it does make you feel better that wonbin was taking care of you. something was just so comforting about wonbin especially when he has you like this in his embrace.

sungchan suddenly appears, a glass of water in hand as per his girlfriend’s request. he feels his chest tighten at the sight of you and wonbin having a moment. he suddenly hears you sniffling and that’s when he realized that he made you cry.

at the same time, wonbin looks up to see sungchan staring at him with wide eyes. wonbin averts his gaze back to you, rubbing your back as you hug him again. sungchan apologizes for interrupting before heading back to the cinema room.

you didn’t bother to look back at sungchan and just stayed still in wonbin’s embrace in the middle of the hallway.

when wonbin was sure that sungchan was out of earshot, he pulls away from the hug to look at your face. your tear stained cheeks and swollen eyes. eunseok might kill him on the spot if you return to the cinema room in that state

“do you want to head back or..?” wonbin starts, unsure how to ask you if you wanted to be back at the cinema room or elsewhere

“i’d rather be anywhere than be in a place where sungchan is in” you grumbled, recalling your argument in the kitchen. “let’s go to my room” you say, grabbing his hand, intertwining it with yours before heading towards your room.

you ignore that weird feeling you had in your stomach again whenever you were like this with wonbin. the feeling of warmth and comfort that he unknowingly provides you

back in the cinema room where almost everyone but yujin was passed out, sungchan hands her the cup of water she requested.

she sits up and gratefully takes the cup from sungchan.

“what took you so long?” she pouts, taking a sip of water, watching her boyfriend who seemed to be frustrated.

“got caught up with y/n and wonbin and we just had a little talk” he says, avoiding the topic.

“y/n again?” she mutters but sungchan doesn’t hear it, before putting the cup in the cup holder, “okay..” she says, dropping the topic. sungchan wasn’t in the mood to talk about it, so be it.

between the lines ★ why does it matter?

⤷ from what started as a simple arrangement to hide your feelings for a certain someone by getting into in a fake relationship soon turns into a tangled mess. in which some things are hard to tell when you can’t read between the lines

You’re sure you should be ashamed of yourself right now. You hadn’t sent Kyle home not even 15 minutes ago and you had nearly tripped over yourself to get to your couch. It shameful, it really really is, so why don’t feel ashamed at all? Not even as you wiggle out of your bottoms and kick them off so they land somewhere in the living area.

You’re grabbing the throw pillow that was supporting your neck and place it between your teeth as you raise your shirt above your breasts. You take a shuddering breath as you lightly tease your hand over one of your already perky nipples. The touch sends a minor shock through your system and like a masochist, you do it again.

Fuck, you aren’t normally so effected by nipple simulation but seeing him like the frosting off that spoon? Your mind had run so quickly to two conclusions. One of them was the image of him sucking on and licking at your nipples until you’re begging and the other was his head between your thighs. You clench your thighs together at the image that conjures up and rub together as you switch nipples, biting down harder on the pillow.

You can feel your panties being soaked with your own slick as you rub your thighs together harder in search of relief you know you can give yourself. But you don't imagine Kyle to be the type to rush, he doens’t rush anything. He even took his time to enjoy the sweets you had made for him. “fffuuuccckkk.” You moan at that thought, would he eat you just as slowly? Would he take his time and drink up your arousal like an expensive champagne? Or would he slobber over you in the way you’re slobbering over the pillow in your mouth to muffle the sounds you’re making.

You finally dip your fingers between your legs and rub at your clit through the soaked cotton. The sensation has your hips jerking away from the sudden stimulation but you don’t stop. You rub tight slow circles around your nub as your legs shake. Its not enough, you know that. You know that you can not possibly finish without something stuffed up your tight hole. You push your panties to the side and slide two fingers between your folds. You glance at the sight and feel your face heat up at the sight of your sticky arousal, spider webbed together when you spread your fingers. You groan and throw your head back as you continue down to your hole that had been clenching on nothing this entire time.

You don’t bother with the semantics of teasing your hole the way you know he would. You stuff two fingers in and moan when you hear the quiet squelch come from you. You stare up at the ceiling for a moment before closing your eyes and letting your imagination take control. You’ve never been more grateful for the vivid imagination you have.

Your back arches slightly as Kyle begins to move his fingers, “You’re so slick luv.” He murmurs into your ear and presses hot kisses from your ear to your neck. “All this for me?” You nod in answer and he chuckles at the sight of you. Utterly debauched for him, ruined. His pretty baker all ruined for him. “Yeah? My bloody gorgeous baker.” He latches onto on your nipples and his pace doesn’t faulter. You feel yourself clench down on his fingers when he flicks your nipple with his tongue.

“K-Kyle.” You squeal as you feel the knot in your abdomen grow tight right on the edge of snapping like a twig.

“That’s it luv, come on my fingers. Come on.” He presses down on your clit and sends you over the edge. You bite down harder on the pillow as your eyes clamp shut tighter and your cunt spasms around your fingers. Your cum soaks your fingers as you melt into the couch and the reality of what you’ve done sinks in.

Roll Over Baby - Austin x reader

AN: I hope you enjoyed ths! Please don't be afraid to request prompts for future fics!

Inspired by Roll Over Baby by LANY! 

It was yet another night of you sleeping alone in the home you were supposed to be sharing with your boyfriend Austin. You knew that starting a relationship with an actor would be difficult but you could never have imagined this. He was never home and if he was, you were already asleep by the time he pulled in the driveway. On the off-chance, you actually got to spend time together, he was always looking at his phone making other plans. 

Plans that never seemed to include you - the women that was  supposedly the love of his life - the woman he planned to marry and start a family with. 

You had made plans with Austin that you were so excited for - but as you open up Instagram to kill time before he comes, you see that he’s out at a club with friends - not with you. Why did you think this time would be any different? As you drive home, tears well up in your eyes and all you wanna do is go to sleep. 

The Next Morning 

As the sun peeks through your blinds, the bed feels different. There seems to be more weight added onto it. As your eyes adjust to the sight in front of you, you are in shock. Your boyfriend is actually home when you wake up. You didn’t even realize you were staring at him until he spoke up. 

“Like what you see babe?” he asks you, his voice still laced with sleep. 

“Always.” you reply to him, a smile creeping onto your face. 

“Don’t you have work today?” you ask him 

“Not until later. That means we can stay in bed all morning. I’ve missed you, I’m so sorry that I’ve been so busy. I know you better than anyone so I know how this makes you feel without even hearing you express your emotions.” 

How could you be mad at him when he says that? I mean he’s right. He knows you better than anyone. 

“I’ve missed you.” 

“So have I, love. You have no idea. I will make this up to you. You deserve to be treated like a queen and that starts now.”

You were happy. 

A Few Weeks Later 

Your life was everything you had ever hoped for. Your relationship with Austin was better than it has ever been. You were able to get some time off and travel with Austin so you could see what he does on a daily basis on set. You got to go home with him every night and on the days that you weren’t able to be on set, you were able to be at your shared apartment when he got home at a reasonable hour. 

As you were getting dinner ready for the two of you, you hear the door unlock. Within a few minutes, Austin’s arms were wrapped around your waist, holding you as if he will never leave you alone again. “Hi, pretty girl. I missed you.”, the rasp in his voice becoming dominant. 

“Hi, my love.” you reply as your head leans into his chest. “Are you ready to eat?” you ask him. 

“Of course. I’ve been waiting all day for this.” 

As you and Austin set the table, his phone goes off. You are able to glance over at what was on the screen. 

Are you still coming to the cast party tonight, AB? 

Your heart broke right then and there. He was doing the same thing he did before. Making plans and leaving you at home, alone. 

The dinner was quiet because if you spoke, you knew your emotions would run higher than they needed too. Austin noticed but he didn’t push the matter. Why were you so upset? He hasn’t even looked at his phone since the minute he got home. You kept picking at your food, not really having an appetite anymore so you decide to clean up and head to bed. 

Austin cleans up after you go up the stairs and follows you up the stairs, trailing a few minutes behind you as a way of giving you space. When he arrives at your door he knocks cautiously. “Y/N? Can I come in? Can you tell me why you’re so upset?” 

“Come in.” you say. Your voice sounded so small through the door. 

He opens the door as you quickly wipe your tears away, hoping he doens’t see. 

“Hey, hey, hey! Love, what’s the matter?” he asks you, his face laced with concern. 

“Nothing. It’s nothing.” you say hoping to change the subject.

“I come in here and my girl is crying and you wanna say that it’s nothing? Come on. You can talk to me.” 

You knew he wasn’t going to let it go. 

He stood there waiting for you to speak, not pushing the issue of why you were clearly upset. 

“Lately our relationship has been going pretty well, I would like to say. I would like to think that we see eye to eye on most things.” 

Austin nods waiting for you to continue. 

“So why did I see you being invited to a cast party and you didn’t even mention it to me.” 

He shakes his head in defeat. 

“It was brought up on set today. I was going to tell you about it after dinner.” 

“Why couldn’t you tell me during dinner? That seems like a reasonable conversation for the dinner table.” 

“I wanted to wait until after dinner because I know how you would react.” 

“How would I react Austin?” 

“Exactly like this if I had told you during dinner.” 

“This isn’t us. It’s not like us to be staying up to fight.” 

“Most of the past few months, we’ve been so in love.” 

“What did I do? What did I say? I always screw things up.”  you ask putting your head in your hands. 

“This is not your fault, love. It’s mine. I should have told you as soon as I walked in the door.” 

“I’m gonna go to sleep now. I’ve had enough tonight.” you tell him as you visibly become more emotional. 

“Tomorrow we’ll be just fine but let’s not waste tonight.” he tells you trying to get you to talk to him. 

You say goodnight and face away from him, your voice cracking 

“Roll over baby, please. Don’t be upset. How can you fall asleep when you feel like this?” 

With your head still turned away, he sits at the edge of your bed.  “Love, let me please pour you a glass of Dr. Pepper and we can sit together and you can say what’s on your mind.” 

You slowly turn your head towards him. 

“I’m always on your team love, always.” 

“You have some work to do, Austin. It’s not gonna be this simple all the time.” 

“I understand that. I’m willing to do whatever you need me to do. All you have to do is say the word amd I will do whatever you want from me.” 

I can’t discuss it anymore tonight. I’m tired, Austin.” you say as sleep begins to overcome you. 

He lays down next to you opening his arms for you. 

“Roll over baby, let me hold you.”

The way they’re writing macaque rn feels like older brother vibes, y’know what i mean?

and if i had enough brain rn, i’d be like trying to analyze more of how Macaque teaches but he seems a bit impatient, but at the same time its nice that he’s giving the answer? but also the answer often sticks better when the student figures it out on their own, still, BRUH REALLY MADE MK FEEL LIEK A TERRIBLE PERSON FOR A COUPLE HOURS HUH IG THAT’S ONE WAY TO DO IT MACAQUE PLEASELGMASOFEW

A Sonnet on Three Fires

okay but.... none of us are over Colin's confession from last ep yet, right? Right???? Sir Provolone gets a sonnet from me. He is a knight, after all 

this one formally goes out to everyone who’s written longposts about Colin recently because it really got me appreciating this character. Cheers.

ALT TEXT (with bonus sonnet formatting that canva doens’t sabotage)

A Sonnet on Three Fires

There are three fires burning in the heart of this place. In one, there is a good man. It does not matter that he is noble, it only matters that he has caught the gaze of his betters. Of those who do not care that he looks to the sky, at the end of his lifespan.

In the second, there is a bad man, ironic as it sounds. A man who lacks in substance. Ethanol fried off and left to simmer. He will burn too, like his father. Nothing but a collection of cruelties that will compound into nothing. Nothing material. Only liquor.

The final man is burning, but he is not burning the same. He is safe and sound, amongst men who aren’t his friends, solid and saintly. The man is in love with the world - his constant mistake. Inflamed with compassion. Empathy. Principals. In the doorway, leaving, here is bravery.

At the end of it all, will it matter that he stood fast, Or will his calcified heart be all that lasts?

[unknownjpegs]

pillow

Benji doesn’t usually drink, but the rocks glass slides across the counter towards him. The bustle of the bar has died off. He thinks, with a hint of pride, around the time the music stopped. Ingrid, the vocalist and bassist Benji’s known since he was about twelve, is collecting their payment from back of house.

It leaves him sitting alone at the end of the bar, waiting petulantly for the business bit to wrap up, and caught off guard by the offered drink. He awkwardly holds his hands up, leaning back. 

“Hey, oh. Didn’t order that,” he says, pointing at the ice-fogged glass. 

“Your friend did. Already paid, too.” The bartender looks bored and tired. He’s multitasking close and impatient if the rag quick-swiping at a scuffed glass is any indication. “So I don’t care what happens to it. Dump it out for all I care. Quicker everyone leaves, quicker I can go home.”

“Heard that,” Benji chirps. He takes the glass and lifts it a little in a cheeky toast before sipping. Before coughing. “Fuck, s’this? No offense, but it’s —“

“Spicy?” The bartender makes a face. “Said you liked it that way.”

Benji stares at him, perplexed and a bit annoyed. 

“Dude, sorry if it was a prank. Must have hated your guys’ shit. It was a little noisy for my taste, but…damn. That’s petty.”

“Who?”

A chin jerked over a soldier towards the end of the counter, out the front door — which swings gently back into place. Almost eerie. Like the last bit of a thriller, where the protagonist just misses the villain.

“And dramatic.” Benji adds, blinking down into the glass. He takes another sip, sticks his tongue out in disgust. “Oi, mate. Do not ever make this again.”

*

Benji finds out the identity of the mysterious inebriation benefactor the following month, when they pick up a gig at the same bar. It’s for less than their first time — seven even, split between the five of them — but that’s grocery money that he won’t pass up.

He’s collecting said stack of bills from Ingrid when a someone sidles up to his elbow. Benji recoils a bit, eyebrow furrowed. At least until he glances up, finds a handsome umber-brown face tilted towards his. 

“Help you?”

“Well, if you’re offering.” The stranger smirks. It’s a very dangerous sort of expression. Benji knows himself at least a little in that regard. 

“I’m not.”

“Reno.”

Benji quirks an eyebrow. “Never been.”

The man laughs, his head tilted back with the force of it. Benji thinks it’s a bit put on, that laugh, but not in a way he can concretely place. He doens’t know if he’s being fucked with — or flirted with. So, his face remains carefully neutral, closed off, careful. 

“Nah, sorry man. I’m Reno.” He waits for a moment, and when Benji is quiet, whistles. “You are fucking tough. You got a two drink name quota, or something?”

For a moment, all Benji can scrounge up is confusion. Then he glances at the bartender; different man than was working last month. And suddenly the recollection: his tongue burning with a surprise spice, instead of the typical alcohol zing.

When Benji snorts an amused laugh, he feels Ingrid’s presence at his side disappear. She knows him. Sometimes better than he knows himself, if he was feeling squishy and affectionate and honest. She knows most of his sounds, his laughs: knows that one is reserved for oh, I like you moments that she typically won’t want to be around to witness. 

There’s not a single soul to witness what happens by the time they finish talking, become those people staying long after close because they can’t wrap a fucking conversation. And yeah, Benji likes him. Likes talking to him, but also likes when they crush together in the front seat of his nice car (at least Benji thinks its nice, he doesn’t get long to look at the exterior because he’s being yanked into the interior, into Reno’s lap with a bang of his knee against the door). 

When they part a slow, thorough kiss to breathe, Reno’s thumb digs into his cheek a little hard. The good sort of hard, right on the edge — just like the good sort he’s got pressing against the front of his jeans, under Benji’s greedy palm. 

“I might keep you around awhile,” Reno says. His voice is pleasantly rough. “I like you…”

Benji leans in as he trails off suggestively, lips glancing over his cheek. He hopes the shape of their smile isn’t too obvious there. He hopes he’s not being too obvious. He likes Reno, too. Probably more than he ought to, for someone who grins pretty and sleazy, who buys him spicy drinks he doesn’t enjoy.  

“Benji.” He offers, and breathes out a sigh when his chin is taken between thumb and forefinger, head shaken by the grip.

“Cute.” Reno says, and guides him in for more.

*

Benji starts off liking him, and doesn’t stop. Not even when the cracks start to show. They don’t stop talking, don’t stop sleeping together. But they also don’t name the talking or the sleeping. On more than one occasion, the word “boyfriend” dies purposefully before it slips from his tongue in conversation. 

What are we? It feels too cliche to ask. Too…pathetic. He wants Reno to keep seeing him how he does, how they’d met. Reno calls him charming and talented, calls him cute and baby, but Reno never calls him boyfriend. Benji’s only point of relief is that he’s never heard the word in reference to anyone else, either. He supposes it’s his duty to ask after that. Have you got someone? But that feels vulnerable, too. And wouldn’t that come up? 

*

It does, but perhaps a little too late. They date — or don’t, he isn’t sure even at the end — for several months. The money from gigs, stuffed into an envelope labeled Saha Birthday Gift in his telling scrawl, grows over that time. Occasionally, Benji dips into it for other gifts. A magnet he spots tacked proudly in the center of Reno’s fridge. A stuffed pepper that sits in the unused corner of Reno’s couch — because he’s got friends, but he doesn’t host. 

Well. Doesn’t host like that. Benji finds out he hosts in other ways.

He’s not given a key, but he’s given the code to the building. And he shows up sometimes, because Reno encourages him to with that sharp grin and heady, affectionate hand to the back of his head. It feels boyfriend when he reels Benji in to press a kiss to his forehead. 

It does not feel boyfriend to knock on his door and have it open to a face he does not recognize. Belonging to a shirtless body he does not recognize. 

“Oh. Thought that was food,” Reno says from the couch. He barely offers Benji a glance before he slumps further back, remote in hand. “Awkward.”

And it is. It’s worse. Benji sees the look on the guest’s face twist into something pitying as he turns on heel and marches back down the stairs.

*

The worst bit of the whole thing is that it’s not either of their faults. It’s not cheating, he reasons, because they never defined it. Benji had been content to float in that intimate, nebulous space because it felt defined.  

Maybe that tiny, root-dug seed of reasonable forgiveness is why he’s convinced so easily. Why he ends up on that very couch again, a phone charger digging into the small of his back. The discomfort is just a nasty brush against the interior of his skull compared to the warm hands roaming him, the words being pressed into his mouth through their brand of languid kiss. 

“Benji, baby,” isn’t boyfriend, but when it’s murmured against his lips like that, it’s enough to carry them another three weeks.

*

Saha visits for her birthday, and Benji takes her to the bar. Slides her birthday gift across the counter with a dramatic flourish, tucking his chin on his fist as he smiles and thinks of being here a few months prior. On her left-hand side, Reno mirrors his pose with a waggling eyebrow intent on earning a laugh. They make a couple faces at each other as Saha unwraps the gift. She makes an injured, appallingly affectionate face as she reads Benji’s quick note in the card, dragging him in for a hug. Reno catches tissue paper from the air as she whips it out of the sparkly gold bag. When she spots its contents, a vintage quick print camera and hard-to-source film, her eyes fill with tears.

“Aw, babe.” Reno reaches around her back to squeeze Benji’s knee. “That’s thoughtful.”

He shrugs awkwardly, accepting a second squeeze around his middle. Saha directs them quickly into selfie formation (although the camera isn’t quite suited for that purpose, evidenced by their lens-distorted faces. 

“It really is thoughtful, Benji.” Saha says, flapping the picture in the air. “And this place is so cute. Way more of a cooler crowd than I expected for the States.”

Benji shrugs again, feels Reno’s gaze on his face as he says: “Dunno. Most of it’s not too bad. Hear Nevada turns out some fuckin’ decent ones, anyway.”

Something strange passes over Reno’s face, then. Surprise, maybe. Confusion. A bit of disappointment? Whatever it is, Benji figures it has at least some small part to play in the events of that evening. Saha taps early to head back to her hotel — because she’s particular about her alone time, and she’s excited to visit, but she’s also “done her time” living with Benji.

He walks her out to catch the rideshare, giving the driver a withering drive safe or else glare, Reno is gone from the bar.

A sense of dread fills his stomach. Of knowing. He knows when he pays their tab, when he turns up at Reno’s flat, when he knocks on the door, there will be a stranger sat in his spot. The previously unused one. They’ll be complimenting the pillow tossed into that corner of the cushions, will be preparing to or finishing up talking and sleeping with Benji’s —

And he realizes it then. Right then, as the door cracks open, as he has the thought: sleeping with my —

Not simply because they haven’t defined it. Benji is terrified to try. Now, he won’t have to. Deep down, he’s always kind of known: Reno is Reno’s. 

It’s not the worst or most awkward or most upsetting breakup he’s ever had, but it is the one that sticks with him longest. He thinks that might have something to do with the fact that he never knew what, exactly, they would eventually put an end to in the first place.

*

At least he’d had the mercy to fuck someone else a day before Saha left. It gave them time to restructure plans, buy ingredients for his favorite comfort foods, and spend time arguing over their mum’s recipe before she was back home. 

Benji only cries a little. Only tears up, really. 

“That’s not like you,” Saha teases, tilting his chin up to wipe a tear that had threatened to drip into the filling of their gulab jamun syrup. “Just one measly fuckin’ tear, pft. What are you, stuck in your toxic masculine era? Benji, you just broke up with your boyfriend — cry already, you stubborn dickhead.”

So Benji does. Mostly because it fills the silence and he doesn’t have to explain the circumstances. Explain that Reno hadn’t been his boyfriend. Hadn’t been anything, that Benji had been too cowardly to ask. 

(But he does admit, through hiccups and embarrassed gulps for air, that he wanted to keep that fridge magnet, that cute pillow, for himself. Saha seems to understand what he means. She always does.)

this is maybe more silly than what you’re feeling but I think at one point eddy mentioned she and stede tried some kinky stuff and it just ended in them laughing their asses off??? would love to see that (or anything with those two tbh)

(so yeah, not entirely smutty, but could be smitty! hope you like!)

“Come here,” Eddy said with steel in her voice. The tone that has always made Izzy collapse at her feet so long ago. The voice men twice as wide as her had obeyed without thought. 

“Yes, dear,” Stede was smiling, puckishly. 

Eddy’s lips twitched, but then schooled back into a stern flat line.  “Kneel.” 

It took a second. Stede considered the space around Eddy’s feet, apparently looking for the best place, before folding himself down. He was repressing a full on grin and they could fucking tell. Menace. 

“When I tell you to do something, I expect you to do it fast,” she snarled. Or tried to. It was really hard to keep growling, when Stede was looking up at her with those doe brown eyes. 

“Yes, dear. I mean. M’am....we should’ve discussed terms.” Stede realized. 

Eddy closed her eyes, reigning her expression back in.  “If you call me m’am, this isn’t going to work. I feel like a school teacher.” 

“We could try that at some point,” Stede decided.  

“Just...fuck. I don’t know. Call me whatever.” 

“That doesn’t seem in keeping with the spirit.” 

“Fine. Maybe I’m ‘mistress’  here,” Eddy decided. “That’s fine.” 

“Okay,” Stede said peacefully, then tacked on, “mistress.” 

“Oh fuck,” Eddy had to look at the ceiling. It did not sound respectful on Stede’s tongue. Filthy. But not respectful. “Right. Do something useful while you’re down there.” 

“Like what?” Stede asked merrily. 

“...for fuck’s sake, just take off my pants,” Eddy kept looking at the ceiling. 

At least eager for that, Stede reached for the button and got it udone, then slid the zipper down. Then he leaned in and kissed her stomach like he always did. 

“I didn’t give you permission to touch me,” Eddy snapped. 

“Sorry, mistress,” Stede got all wide-eyed, and then looked down at the ground. His shoulders started to shake. 

“Stop that,” Eddy groaned. “Stede.” 

“Sorry, honey! Really I am, but you’re so cute when you get all commanding.” 

“I can’t be cute! This doens’t work if you think I’m cute,” Eddy groaned. “You have to be hot for me.” 

“I am hot for you,” Stede assured her. “All the time. Sometimes it’s actually problematic.” 

“Like when?” They asked, distracted now. 

“Oh, like when you’re talking with one of our friends and you get excited about something and it makes me think about other times you’ve gotten excited and I still have to pretend I’m listening to whoever I’m talking to,” Stede sat back on his heels. “You know.” 

“I do,” Eddy allowed, reaching down to ran a hand over his golden hair. “Been there. When you’re all in a huff and you get flushed.” 

“Oh,” Stede leaned into the touch. “I didn’t know that. See how useful role play is.” 

“Mate, this is the least successful roleplay I can think of. You can’t obey me worth shit.” 

“I never promised too,” Stede pointed out. “We took it out of the vows and everything.” 

“Yeah, but you wanted to play this game and that’s how it works.” 

“Why?” Stede challenged. 

“What do you mean, why? It’s the whole point of the whole...dom thing. Like it’s short for domination, not short for give the dom a headache.” 

“I think that’s called being a brat and it’s encouraged,” Stede corrected. “I looked it up.” 

“You’re not a brat,” Eddy sighed. “Brats want the punishment. Do you actually want me to punish you? Cause you’re not even that into spanking.” 

“Well a little pain is fun, real pain isn’t. Not for me anyway,” Stede sighed. “I don’t know. I thought it could be...playful?” 

“I guess it can be,” Eddy gave up and sat on the edge of the bed. “But I don’t think it is for me. When I go there, I go all the way there. Didn’t really think about that before we got into it.” 

“Maybe you didn’t know? I’m going to sit next to you, honey, my knees are killing me already.” 

“Yeah, sure.” 

They pressed together, Stede putting his hand on their thigh. “Mistress Eddy has a ring to it though.” 

“If I were your actual mistress, you’d be in for it,” Eddy warned him. 

“What would you do to me?” Stede asked, kissing her shoulder. “Would you be terrible?” 

“I’d torture you within an inch of your life.” 

“But if I was agreeing then it would have to be something I liked too. And torture sounds unpleasent.” 

“Maybe I’d tie you up and tickle you,” Eddy laughed just at the thought. “Get you under the back of your knees until you giggled yourself to death.” 

“Awful,” Stede did giggle, just at the thought. “I’d curse your name.” 

“Then I’d make you sit at watch while I tore the pages out of a book.” 

“Demon!” He accused. “What else?” 

“Mm, I’d...touch myself and not let you touch me.” 

“Oh, that would be very cruel,” Stede decided. “More for you than me though. I like watching you.” 

“Voyeruism is more your kink than pain,” Eddy agreed, putting their hand over his. “Want to just fuck regular?” 

“Yes,” Stede said feverently then with a cheeky grin, “or maybe it’s yes, mistress?” 

“That’s it!” Eddy did tickle him and they rolled around on the bed while Stede laughed manically. 

They had sex eventually, but it was nearly an hour later. 

[thedeviljudges]

hello and welcome to this post where i try and dissect the end scene of the devil judge even though i think it’s meant to be taken however you want it to.

with that said, i wanted to walk through it with screencaps because that’s always fun. i’ll also be referencing some of these posts, or at least i think these are some good points of view about this scene that i think are worth reading.

how i interpret the last scene

points made by solariene

points made by thequillandscreen

i did include mine in here because i did discuss it before, but this post will vary slightly. mainly this is just me working through more thoughts. there are no right or wrong answers here.

so before the final, final scene, i think it’s important to go back a little bit to when gaon finds the blueprint.

written on the blueprint is yohan’s writing telling gaon that he’s cleared the stage for him and that there is something that he has to do now in order to complete the plan.

we can assume that part of this plan has to do with gaon’s testimony at the judicial reform hearing as yohan had told the world he would after everything was over.

we also have to note that a month has passed between yohan telling the world gaon will testify and gaon finding the blueprint and learning that yohan and elijah left for switzerland and the day of the reform meeting. we know this because the notation in the corner reads “a month later.”

however, during the meeting, gaon learns that even after everything, none of his testimony actually matters. the people in power claim they won’t let anything like that happen again, but it’s all bullshit because as we know, history repeats itself and the people who have the power to change things don’t actually care.

so this leaves gaon at a crossroads again.

that’s when yohan’s figure comes into the frame, like an angel or devil on gaon’s shoulder, yohan is now the one on gaon’s left.

which goes all the way back to episode 2 with yohan making note that gaon sits at his left.

the left hand side is prominent for the two of them, most notably the knife cut gaon gives yohan when he wants to murder him for believing he killed soohyun. and the watch that gaon literally never takes off no matter how many times he accuses yohan of being the devil bc within that, he still defends yohan. for example, during his phone call with the professor in ep 15.

i think this is prominent because it shows that yohan will be gaon’s guiding force in the future, a pillar in which he can use to measure his version of justice against. gaon is now in the position to make the decisions, and yohan is simply there to step in when needed.

but going back to the scene at the judicial building.—gaon asks himself what there’s left for him to do in a world that doesn’t need yohan. if the people in that room don’t believe him, what else is there? he sounds defeated, but that’s when yohan shows up, almost as if he’s gaon’s hope when gaon had been yohan’s hope all this time. there’s a small flip of the script.

now, i think whether yohan says “do it well. if you don’t, i’ll come back” is truly up for interpretation. the scene where gaon realizes its yohan is in slow motion, so it almost looks like gaon doesn’t recognize that there was anyone there at all until we hear the sound of footsteps. meaning, there is a possibility that yohan saying “do it well” is gaon imagining yohan saying that to him, almost an illusion of yohan being with him but he’s really not there.

even further, if it is gaon’s internal dialogue of yohan, it’s gaon convincing himself that if he doens’t do well, then yohan might come back.

except, he actually is there. so whether it’s gaon imagining it and he hears the footsteps to prove it is yohan, or yohan actually says it, it’s not entirely important, in my opinion. because either way, it’s yohan—it’s absolutely something yohan would say and do. which further proves that gaon knows yohan well enough if that’s his eternal thoughts. or it’s yohan saying it because he’s teasing gaon just because he can, and he’ll be watching over him, closely. either way, it’s not out of character for either scenario.

one reason i do think he might’ve said it is because of this close up shot of gaon. it shows his ear right after we hear yohan’s voice. but even then, during that close up, we hear footsteps. because the scene is in slow motion, it’s really hard to pinpoint if gaon was just super slow to turn or if nothing was said at all and he only turned at the sound of footsteps.

regardless, gaon goes after yohan. he’s chasing him, which parallels all of yohan’s talk about animal behaviors and enjoying the hunt, etc. particularly during the dinner scene in episode 2 between yohan, gaon and jinjoo. and also the discussion about monsters where gaon blatantly calls yohan out for his bullshit narrative that some people are born monsters.

but once gaon finds him after the chase, we have yohan staring at gaon first. it’s closed off, and he holds out his hand.

this parallels the scene in episode 7 where yohan holds out his hands after he’s just shown gaon that the conman responsible for his parent’s death is not in jail and gaon did not get the justice he thought he got years ago.

the scene in episode 7 is yohan sort of saying “well, look at where you are. look at what i’ve shown you. i’m right, aren’t i?” it’s almost like a shrug of shoulders and an “i told you so” kind of moment. it’s also what ultimately pushes gaon into working with yohan because by the end of the episode, gaon walked away from his professor and chose yohan.

if the moment in the judicial building is meant to be a parallel scene to the prison one, and we know gaon chose yohan after that, then what does that say about yohan’s gesture in episode 16? gaon will choose yohan.

not to mention, it’s yohan’s way of saying “the choice is yours and up to you to do with this knowledge what you will.”

that “knowledge” = just how the elite/people in power will always be the same. sort of like: ‘you now know these people won’t change. what will you do now?’

it can also mean that “knowledge” is learning that yohan came back just to visit gaon on a very important day. sort of like: ‘you know that i’m here. now what will you do about it?’

if we discuss the former, it’s a callback to how the powerful do not change and are full of self pity, which was part of yohan’s speech at the prison.

to cut down on screencaps, here is yohan’s dialogue after gaon’s upset at the beginning of ep 8:

“the fire that killed my brother, they abandoned others to save their skin. i understood that much. humans did what a human would. that’s humanity, but something really shocked me. they came to the hospital to see me. (cuts to yohan at the hospital with the elite apologizing but feeling sorry for themselves).

“I can’t stand people being hypocrites, too. it makes me nauseous. they’ll be just the same right now. ‘what did we do wrong?’ ‘the project’s to revive the economy.’ ‘we’re being persecuted for something minor.’ ‘this is a political conspiracy.’ ‘we must not give in to this.’ if the devil really does exist among us, it would be the self-pity of the powerful.”

yohan stretching out his hand in the judicial building is such a blatant recall to yohan’s entire dialogue. and yohan is showing gaon, once again, that he was right about the elite. gaon went into that room hoping things would change, but they didn’t.

but again, it can have a double meaning - yohan letting gaon know he’s there.

and then we get the staring and all of the facial expressions. here it is in order:

we see yohan’s close up where, again, he looks a bit closed off. he’s kind of half smiling but in an unsure way, and you can see he’s getting emotional. almost as if to say ‘sorry for spoiling this for you’ or ‘sorry you had to realize that nothing changed judicially.’

but i also think it’s mostly yohan unsure of where he stands with gaon because while yohan is right about the elite, and he’s apologetic about it this time, he’s also sorry for literally everything he put gaon through and what gaon had to go through as an extension of him.

the following scene is gaon looking at him like this:

concern, worried, judgement? yohan’s left gaon for a month, and while gaon knew he was alive with elijah, there is pause and understanding within the next shot we see of yohan’s face. yohan looks like he understands gaon’s thoughts, that almost “how could you do this to me?” face gaon gives him. yohan interprets gaon’s face as displeasure, upset.

because in the next shot, yohan’s eyes get even more watery, and he looks down like he knows he fucked up by hurting gaon. you can see it on his face where his thoughts go. he’s looking down as if he’s telling himself “yes, i understand why you’re upset and may not want to see me.”

but then, gaon’s next look is what changes everything. because gaon starts to smile; he kinda snorts/huffs too, almost as if he’s saying “ahjussi, you moron. i’m happy you’re here” or anything akin to being relieved to see yohan there in front of him. that smile is full of reprieve.

and that’s what start’s us in on the next sequence of looks. the first being yohan not just getting more emotional, he nods in understanding. he nods as if he finally understands that gaon is not actually mad at him at all. gaon’s happy to see him, and now yohan is relieved.

and then in the blink of an eye, yohan’s entire facial expression changes, and it’s so interesting to watch because it’s a splint second where it happens. he goes from understanding and emotional to a look full of mischief. like yohan understands that they’re not through now that he knows where gaon stands with him—that gaon is not actually mad at him but happy, and now yohan’s getting ideas.

because yohan’s face also changes to this:

and any time we’ve seen this face, it means he has something up his sleeve. this look also almost serves as a “follow me” kind of look, another game of cat and mouse that they’ve just played in public, lmao. i mean the entirety of his body language just screams, “i’ll be seeing you” or “catch me if you can.” it’s cocky and playful.

i’m still personally kind of on the fence whether i think gaon actually follows him in this scene; i think he doesn’t, but i can certainly see it both ways. i’m more of the belief that he doesn’t for the sole reason of the beginning of this post—that gaon has more to do at court. yohan set the stage for gaon to make the judicial system as best as he can make it and better than how yohan left it, but that’s not a task that will take forever. not if gaon tries his best, and he builds a team of people who are willing to make a difference just like him.

and as we saw yohan go through his emotions earlier, of thinking that gaon was upset with him, we now see that reflected back on gaon when yohan turns and walks away. gaon looks upset again.

like he can’t believe yohan is walking away and leaving again. almost like a “what the fuck?” moment. but right after that, gaon actually nearly smiles again as if he’s thought it through.

this screencap below doesn’t depict it very well because it’s all in the micro expressions, but gaon’s eyes travel upward, his eyebrows lift, his lips pull back, and we can see him getting emotional and hopeful. his face transforms from hesitation and worry to something more uplifting, almost like a lightbulb has gone off in his head. as if he’s realizing that yohan isn’t actually going anywhere.

they may take some time apart, which is much needed, and as i noted in my other post linked above of my interpretation of this scene and why distance should happen briefly between them.

and then of course, as yohan walks away, tempest starts playing. and anytime that song as come on within the show, it’s because yohan’s plan or something bigger has just emerged and has been revealed. the song kind of has a cocky intro, something bold and smug, in my opinion.

it’s also interesting to note that tempest plays while yohan is finally walking into the light, especially since we met him at the beginning of the show while he was driving into the darkness.

and who has always had the light symbolism surrounding him?

that light also symbolizes yohan walking back into heaven, especially if he’s the jesus figure. the music also portrays this as well. it’s uplifting. it sounds bright and almost angelic.

it also means yohan’s stepping into a new world for himself, and he’s found the same time zone as gaon.

when yohan gave gaon the watch and said they needed to be in the same time zone in ep 4, it had always been yohan’s time. but this time, yohan is meeting gaon’s time more than halfway by stepping into the light.

and time isn’t the ticking of the clock. time represents their orbits, being on the same page as one other, rather than a physical location or a digital clock.

the ending very clearly paints the picture that yohan and gaon will meet again, and shit, if we want to be really forward, yohan could be out waiting in the car for gaon after he’s done. the scenarios are endless, but the idea of “we will meet again” isn’t very long as we might think it is.

after all, yohan literally waited a month.... one month to come back. not several months. not a year. not a decade. a month. he couldn’t stay away, and he had to know where gaon stood with him.

so of course, yohan now knows everything he needs to in terms of where gaon stands. gaon made it very, very obvious he’s chosen yohan, and yohan, of course, has always chosen gaon. hence, that smug expression yohan leaves him with.

- Foolish examines the damage Drista’s pig squad did in Kinoko Kingdom and repairs it

- Ponk calls Foolish as the evil version of himself. Ponk arrives there

- They walk and talk to the tree house, and Ponk breaks some news

Ponk: “You see...I am but a humble servant of this poor world, and you’re a god. Right? Loosely? Well, your godliness is pretty cool, you know? And me being a humble wanderer of this cruel world...it is not my place to take a king’s life, Foolish.”

...

Ponk: “How many kings do you know, Foolish? How many kings?”

Foolish: “I don’t know, is this a trick question?”

Ponk: “I’m pretty sure you know two, alright?”

Foolish: “Wait, who’s the second one?”

Ponk: “Eret and...Sam. You know Sam’s king of the creepers. He wears a crown on his head, do you know that? Apparently he is.”

...

Ponk: “But Foolish...if it comes, a time and a place, would you do that for me? Would you take Sam’s life, yes or no Foolish?”

Foolish: “Well, is there like a good reason for it?”

- Ponk says he’s said enough and goes back down, saying he can get other friends to do it

Foolish: “Is this for the arm? You wanna kill him for the arm? I thought you and Sam were like, best buddies.”

Ponk: “...Best buddies?! BUDDIES?! Are you mad? Are you mad?!”

Ponk: “Foolish, Foolish, if I ripped off your arm and killed you -- he killed me, Foolish! He killed me!”

Foolish: “Oh...did you have it coming?”

Ponk: “I DID NOT HAVE IT COMING, FOOLISH! I DIDN’T! You know what I did? You know what I did, Foolish? I -- it wasn’t even -- ugh, and he did that to prove a point! Now I’m doing this to prove a point, and apparently my point isn’t gonna be proven because you’re not a good friend, Foolish.”

Foolish: “Woah, well don’t you think that’s a lot to ask for? Hey, good friend, let’s go murder someone.”

Ponk: “Well, Foolish, look. You’re not murdering them. You are simply a tool in this revenge plot, Foolish, okay?”

Foolish: “So what would I be doing?”

Ponk: “You’ll have to press a button or swing a sword, Foolish. That is all.”

Foolish: “Press a button or swing a sword.”

- Foolish doesn’t think that sounds too hard. Ponk leads him to the barn

Ponk: “Look, Foolish. Everything will be laid out for you, okay? Everything. Alright? You’ll just have to be there. You’ll have to be there and be square, okay? You know who built this? Come this way, you know who built this?”

Foolish: “Alyssa?”

Ponk: “You know, Alyssa was a good friend of mine. She would have done this for me without asking any questions.”

- They’ve been through so much together, as Batman and Robin, as Holmes and Watson...so if Foolish wants the duo to carry on, he’ll have to help Ponk seek his revenge

Ponk: “We need a witness to prove to the world that this happened, okay? Someone has to write it down in history.”

Foolish: “Do you still -- another question. Do you still have plans for that one thing? On what you want to do with it?”

Ponk: “Foolish, Foolish, Foolish, you see...a good plan comes together, alright? And a good plan master never reveals his plan. It’s all about playing six-dimensional chess. I am ten seconds -- ten seconds ahead of everyone!”

- Ponk asks Foolish to take his helmet off, promising they won’t put a pumpkin on him. They ask Foolish to trust them with a TNT cannon

- They talk about building the tree

Ponk: “When the time comes, can I trust you?”

Foolish: “Mm...you think Sam deserves this?”

Ponk: “Yes. 100%.”

- Foolish says he needs time to think about it before he says yes. The two part ways and Ponk goes to cry in the forest. She’ll ask Niki next

Ponk: “Okay, Foolish...but you’re a god! You’ve killed many people, have you not? You’ve probably had human sacrifices in your lifetime!”

tw: seperation, implied smut.

masterlist

gif credits to @toyboxboy :))

don't find love. let love find you. that's why it's called falling in love because you don't force yourself to fall, you just fall.

-----

today is the day.

after five years, seven months, and thirteen days you've reached the - inevitable - day.

the day where it's time to pack your possessions into boxes, and try not to cry as you hug your best friends goodbye.

the day where you leave your beautiful home of dc to go to new york city. the day where you leave to start the job and life of your dreams.

but you still feel crushed.

at first, dc was a placeholder for nyc. you joined the behavorial analysis unit as a temporary career at first, but as the months went by you find it harder and harder to leave.

and now you're going to new york city. to work in sex crimes, and fulfill the promise you made to yourself in college. the promise of being truly happy and living in new york city, working to make a change.

this is your destiny, what you're supposed to do, but you still can't shake the feelings of sadness, and emptiness. like you're forgetting something.

spencer drops you off at the train station. you wrap your arms around him, breathing in his scent and melting into the comforting, familiar hug for what may be the last time.

spencer's holding it together, but you can feel a few tears falling from your face. when you and spencer break apart, you quickly wipe them away, and force smile sadly.

"call me if you're ever in new york city," you whisper, and spencer nods.

"goodbye y/n," he says, and you feel your heart break. no one ever truly describes how painful goodbyes are.

"goodbye spencer," you say, a hint of melancholy in your voice. like you've already left.

a light drizzle begins as you walk into the train station with your suitcase. you can feel spencer watching you leave, and you want to desperately to look back, but you know that if you do you'll never be able to leave dc.

you hold your head up high, pushing back the final tears as you enter the station. the ceiling is beautiful, tall and arched, and the pillars and tiled-floor are gorgeous too. but it's hard to concentrate on the beauty right now.

it's late at night, probably around ten pm, but the train station is still packed with people. women and men in business attire, college aged students in sweats with messy hair, and the occasional lost kid.

you find your way to your train, and take a seat in the stiff chair. a woman, about your age sits next to you, and a family in front of you.

you take a minute to rest your eyes, realizing now how tired you really are.

but closing your eyes was a mistake, because now you have time to really think.

you think about your best friends. emily, jj, garcia, derek, even rossi and hotch. you think about the bar visits, girls nights, and team dinners. you're going to miss that.

you're going to miss garcia's unique way of expressing herself, derek's confidence, jj's motherly personality, how extremely badass emily is, rossi's devotion to helping people, and hotch's fatherly personality.

you're going to miss the early morning phone calls. the coffee shop visits.

you're going to miss spencer.

his smile, the way he rambles, how his tongue pokes into his cheek when he's concentrating, the way he knows the answer to everything but doens't brag about it. you're going to miss his messy brown hair, his hazel puppy-dog eyes, his sweater vests and cardigans.

and the reality hits you.

there won't be another spencer in new york. or another derek, garcia, jj, emily, rossi or hotch.

you'll never get to gossip in garcia's office again. you won't get to play-fight with derek. you won't get to hug jj, or emily.

you're leaving.

you're leaving dc and you're not coming back.

and spencer...

you promise never to forget spencer.

never to forget the first time you met, when he spilled coffee on your shirt.

never to forget the nights you would eat thai and watch the strangest documentarys.

never to forget the rush you felt when you would touch.

or when he would talk to you.

or do anything.

never to forget the way he watched you leave him. the way you never turned back, left him standing alone in the rain outside of a train station.

a tear runs down your cheek.

you have to fix this.

you can't go to new york city, because you weren't meant for new york city.

you were meant to exist here. you belong here.

you get up from your seat and start to exit the train.

the people around you give you strange glances, but then again you are running off a train and slightly crying.

but you don't care. because you're going to spencer.

you run out of the train station, bracing yourself for the cool rain. it dampens your clothing, and gets your hair wet but you don't care.

suddenly, you realise you have no idea what you're doing, and that this may be the dumbest idea of your life.

everything you own is most likely already in new york city. you just wasted one hundred dollars on a train ticket you never used, and you' have no idea where spencer is.

you slowly spin in a circle, your surroundings illuminated by moonlight.

where could spencer be right now?

you think until your almost thought out, and then it hits you. when spencer distressed, or needs to refresh his mind, he goes to the park. and looks at the pond.

it's a long shot for him to be there in the dead of night, but you decide to take your chances. if he's not there, you can just get a cab to take you to his apartment.

you run in the direction of the park, occasionally passing a junkie, or a couple on a nightly outing.

you run through the park, breathing hard and cluthing your stomach.

you're about to give up hope, because you haven't seen a living soul hair, but then you see him.

or what you presume to be him.

a tall, skinny figure. watching the pond.

"spencer!" you yell, running towards him.

the rain beats down on you, and your whole body is soaking wet but you don't care. all you want to do is get to him, the love of your life.

because you love spencer.

and you've been idiotic and silly and blind but know you know you love him.

all those glances, the smiles, small touches, that was love.

and love wasn't big, and flashy. love isn't what makes the world go round. love is what makes the ride worthwhile. love is the small things.

spencer turns around, and you can see his face illuminated by the moonlight.

his perfect, beautiful face.

you run into his arms, hair flowing, tears falling. you crash your lips into his and press your hands into his chest, what you've wanted to do for five years.

and he responds. his lips move against yours, and he holds your face in his hands.

"i love you, spencer" you say, when you finally break apart. and it feels so great. being able to finally say it after all the years of denial, and trying to shove the feelings away.

"i've always loved you, spencer and i tried to shove the feelings away, lock them in a box and keep them hidden forever but it didn't work. and i couldn't leave knowing that i would never be able to tell you, knowing that it would be to late. i loved you everyday spencer. you let me sleep on your shoulder, watch the worst sit-coms with you, and you hold my hand under the table, and i can't help but glance up every so often to look at you during work. and i choose you. for the looks and smiles and conversations. that's why it has to be you, that's why it's always been you and always will be you. and i know i don't make a lot of sense and i sound drunk and you probably-"

"y/n," spencer whispers, placing a finger to your lips. you didn't realise you had been rambling. "i love you too," he whispers, and you feel your heart melt.

spencer reid, boy genius, pretty boy, fbi agent, kicker of criminal ass, loves you.

he loves you right now. under the stars. in the rain. illuminated by the moonlight.

you stay silent, staying in his embrace as he softly kisses your forehead.

in the distance, a band starts to play.

lesbiansandgayssupporttheminers is racist; she thinks she understands racism better than poc, stands by racists, and attacks poc for trying to speak to her about racism

Tw: racism, rape mention, incest mention. also possible transphobia 

For the full story, you first need a bit of background: if you’ve been following me for a while then you will be aware I have called out @ayeforscotland’s racism several times. I would recommend reading this post for a full explanation.

In addition to the incidences mentioned in the post I have just linked, ayeforscotland has also had interactions with neo @androidgynes who is Romani and another person who is black (but didn’t want to be named) and they’ve both also called him out for his racism.

Anyway so. @androidgynes​ saw that lesbiansandgayssupporttheminers was reblogging from ayeforscotland, and that the op of the post was @/getpoliticaluk (who defends incest). Androidgynes messaged lesbiansandgayssupporttheminers (who I will from now refer to as lagstm) and informed her that ayeforscotland is racist and getpoliticaluk defends incest - the conversation that followed went like this. (the below screenshots are posted with permission from @androidgynes​)

The post that neo (@androidgynes) linked of mine was this. And I mean... clearly that particular post by ayeforscotland was very racist, he literally just sat there laughing about anti-black racism as if it was a joke. When @mangopickled​ tried to speak to him about how offensive this post was, he removed her comments from the notes of the post (like. to be clear: ayeforscotland, a WHITE MAN, made a post about racism, and then removed a WOMAN OF COLOUR’S commentary from that post when she told him that his comments were inappropriate). When I saw that, I called that out, and he blocked me. There’s many levels to his racism here that I don’t have the energy to explain, and if you don’t understand why it’s so problematic then you should probably stop reading here cos you clearly know nothing and probably care even less about anti-racism.

So on that particular post that neo linked to lagstm, there is ayeforscotland being racist, and 2 woc calling out his racism. And yet on having this post shown to her, this is how she chose to respond

lagstm literally says that she thinks my views on racism lack nuance. I am a woman of colour, I am visibly muslim, and I’ve experienced racism pretty much all my life. And here is a white woman saying that she thinks my views on racism “lack nuance”. I,, I genuinely don’t have words to convey how angry this makes me. Literally who does she even think she is. Not even is it racist to dismiss my literal LIVED experience of being a woman of colour in this country, but she is literally saying “look at these stupid brown folk, they don’t know what they’re talking about cos they’re so stupid :)”

neo points out firstly that as a white person lagstm doesn’t have the right to make that call, and also that there is ofc another woc on that post saying that exact same thing, and androidgynes themselves are roma. lagstm is not just dismissing me as a stupid savage who is too stupid to form complex thoughts, but she is also indirectly saying the same thing about 2 other poc, and saying that her judgement, as a white person, is more sound than all of ours.

It’s also worth mentioning that neo, who is Romani, was polite to lagstm during this exchange, and lagstm was rude and dismissive. I find this deeply hypocritical. Lagstm has been talking a lot about the policing bill and how it will affect GRT communities, but when she’s talking to someone who is actually *from* the Roma community, she is dismissive and condescending. All this shows is that she’s fake AF. She pretends to care about the Roma community on her blog and then speaks down to them in private.

And again this is worth repeating: AYEFORSCOTLAND WAS BEING RACIST ON THAT POST. IT WAS RACIST. WHAT HE SAID WAS RACIST. So lagstm isn’t just ignoring 3 poc, she is also ignoring,,,, you know,,, the actual racism,,,

And she also says ayeforscotland is borderline racist? Like she acknowledges ayeforscotland is borderline racist but she’s still happy to follow him? Like that alone would be enough for me actually

neo then blocked lagstm and messaged me and told me what happened, and showed me the above screenshots - btw prior to this neo and I had never interacted. Anyway I was obviously a bit disgusted but instead of going straight to blocking lagstm or making a callout post straight away, I messaged her to explain herself and take back what she said. That is now two poc who tried to resolve the matter privately - clearly a lot more than lagstm ever deserved. Androidgynes messaged me last Friday, and I messaged lagstm the next day on Saturday

My convo with lagstm went as follows:

So you can see that initially she was apologetic and said she “didn’t mean to imply that that my judgement on racism was flawed” (even tho that’s literally what she said) and defended herself by saying “I react poorly in interactions like this” - genuinely not a defence but whatever. She then proceeded to say that what she doesn’t trust my opinion on is Scotland and Ireland - which completely irrelevant. Firstly I am ambivalent to Scottish nationalism and have always said I don’t know much about it, and I support the reunification of Ireland. And secondly, my issue with aye has got literally nothing to do with Scotland or Scottish nationalism; he is racist all on his own. And the post neo linked was barely even about scottish nationalism, it was just him being anti-black. So lagstm saying “I don’t trust your judgement on Scotland and Ireland” is ridiculous considering that Scottish/Irish nationalism have nothing to do with this.

Like akjfbkjdfbs this is actually so ridiculous. It doens’t make any sense. Lagstm clearly says “I don’t trust pakisstani’s judgement on THIS issue [the issue being racism] and her views on THIS issue [the issue being racism] lack nuance” but now turns around and says “I wasn’t talking about racism, I was talking about Scotland/Ireland” like she must really think I’m dumb

And you can see Lagstm bringing up unrelated hypothetical scenarios, and saying “in this situation, you can’t tell me to defer to poc” which i found ??? Like why are you bringing up scenarios in which you think you are allowed to educate us poor and stupid black and brown folk?? I then told her she was straw-manning and that her points about Ireland/Scotland were ridiculous, but then she claimed it was me that was engaging her in bad faith. Like SHE, the white woman who practically said that I am too stupid to understand racism, and when confronted on it started straw-manning and bringing up unrelated scenarios, said I am not engaging her in good faith. AFTER both neo and I tried to speak to her privately about this. Like I tried to speak to her privately AFTER I FOUND OUT SHE HAD SAID RACIST THINGS ABOUT ME. BUT I’M NOT ENGAGING HER IN GOOD FAITH? LMAOOO

And then the accusation about rape threats which is actually the most disgusting part of this entire thing. I shouldn’t have to explain that accusing 2 poc of conspiring to send her rape threats (without any evidence whatsoever. Frankly I think she’s lying about the rape threats 🤷🏽‍♀️ it’s quite a transparent attempt to distract from her own nasty behaviour and deflect onto us) is actually extremely racist. She is invoking her white fragility and painting me and androidgynes as aggressors who are threatening her safety and inflicting/threatening to inflict sexual violence on her. It is beyond disgusting 🤮

What’s more, neo is trans, so when lagstm is baselessly accusing them of issues related to rape, she is also playing up to transphobic tropes.

One more thing worth mentioning is that there are several lies peppered throughout lagstm’s comments. Firstly when she claimed to have briefly unfollowed me - she didn’t actually. I was checking regularly, and she never unfollowed me. This was a small lie that I picked up on striaght away but because it wasn’t relevant I didn’t say anything about it. But I just think it’s interesting that she would lie for no reason. And another lie - feigning ignorance about ayeforscotland’s racism, and actually even asking for receipts is incredibly disingenuous when on this particular post, if you scroll through the notes, you can see she has literally liked it. Like she had already seen the posts where me and mangopickled called out his racism and literally LIKED it, and when neo says to lagstm that aye is racist, lagstm says “receipts please :)” YOU’VE ALREADY SEEN THEM! AND LIKED THEM! screenshot in case she unlikes it (sorry for including dumb comments by dumb scots but i need to prove it’s the same post so):

LASTLY. Last point I swear. When lagstm said “it was also coloured by the statements they’d made about another tumblr user, which didn’t relate to racism, which I didn’t address with them because I didn’t want to upset them” <- she must mean getpoliticaluk defending incest? So like what is lagstm saying here, she didn’t want to bring up that she also herself defends incest?? Like is she tryna say she’s a pro-shipping freak?????????????????????? What other way is there to read that statment

Okay that’s everything.

I’m not interested in discourse on this post - if you are white and think lagstm isn’t racist or you’re inclined to defend her then save your breath, I don’t need white people telling me what is or isn’t racist. I gave her the chance to defend herself, which is way more than she deserves, and this is how she responds. Her actions and indefensible and she can choke ☺️❤️  I will be unfollowing/blocking anyone I see reblogging from her because I deserve better than to follow people who are ok with racists ❤️

A/N: Showing some love for my comfort group today and my ult bias. 

MASTERLIST

(This gif doens’t really have anything to do with the fic I just really love him)

“Are you my good boy?” 

He lets out a whimper, tugging at where his hands are tied to the headboard. He looks up at you with those eyes, those dark eyes that sparkle when the light hits them. A pout forms on his plump lips, making his eyes even bigger as you sit up on your knees, his cock slapping his stomach wetly as it drops out of you. Your pussy clenches at the loss but you ignore it, bending over his face, your hands on either side of his head. 

“I asked you a question.” 

Those plump lips part slightly as you drag a finger down his cheek. He nods, staring up into your eyes. “Yes.” He gasps out, lips kissing your fingers as you draw it across them. “I’m your good boy.” 

You hum, smiling down at him. Those dimples you love so much pop as you kiss his nose. “You are always my good boy.” He gasps again as you sit up, dragging your hips slowly along the length of his cock. “You want to cum?” 

He moans quietly, voice whiny as speaks. “Yes, please, let me cum!” 

You smirk at his neediness. “Fine. But you have to be good and make me cum first.” 

He licks his lips, nodding in agreement. You usually would make him give you a verbal response, but you had tortured him enough tonight. You’d been at it for a couple hours now, edging him over and over, working him up then forcing him back down. You’d let him wait long enough. He was being so good and he hadn’t cum once yet.

 You wrap your hand around his cock, guiding it back inside you. You sigh at the sensation, never tiring of feeling him. Even when you weren’t in this headspace, those lazy mornings you made love without all the flare, you still loved the feeling of him. Your favorite though was how he sounded. Those sweet, whiny moans that rose up out of his throat with every lift and lowering of your hips. Those quiet gasps as you tightened around him, how loud he’d get before he came. 

“So good.” You moan out yourself, feeling your own orgasm fast approaching. “So good for me. That’s it. Fuck.” You gasp out as he bends his knees, snapping his hips up into yours. “Right there. That’s it. My good boy, so good for me. You fuck me so good. Just like that.” 

The praises spill from your lips as you get closer, legs trembling from the exertion and your approaching orgasm, but you don’t care, pushing forward, meeting every thrust he gives. You lean forward, freeing his hands with a tug at the rope, his fingers immediately going to your clit. 

You’re thrown over the edge, stilling as you cum around him. You catch yourself on your hands, leaning over his chest. 

“Can I cum? Please, let me cum.” He whines, thrusting up into you hard and fast. He’s close. So very close. 

“Cum for me.” You say, leaning forward to kiss him. “My good boy.” 

He moans loudly as he cums almost instantly, spilling into you. His hands hold your hips, his own hips thrusting lazily as he rides through his orgasm. You shift your hips after he stills, letting him drop out of your sensitive pussy again. You lean up, kissing him softly, hands gently massaging his shoulders. 

“You okay, baby?” You ask, hands working down over his arms. 

He nods, chasing your lips. “Yeah.” 

You pull away, making him pout again as you reach over to grab the bottle of water from the nightstand. You pop the cap off, cradling his head as he drinks. 

“Do you want to order food and then take a bath while we wait?” You ask after he’s finished drinking, setting the bottle back on the nightstand. 

He nods eagerly and you grab your phone, laying down next to him with your head on his chest. You can feel his cum leaking out of you and it makes you smile as you scroll through the delivery app, letting him pick what he wants. 

[quirkwizard]

Hello Wiz, have a question? What quirks from class 1-a, if presented to him in front of him excluding Izuku, would All for One want?

While I imagine he would want a lot of them, I think he would like them for different reasons. With that in mind, I will be dividing these up into categories. Those All For One himself would want, those he would want to give to a minion, those he would want to give to a Nomu, and those I am not certain about.

All For One: -Anivoice: As bizarre as it sounds, I think that he would really want this power for himself. It just really fits how he operates. It doesn't have any serious drawbacks to it and it offers a whole new way for him to manipulate and gather information on other people given how many animals could be around at any time.

-Hardening: While it is very weak on its own, I think he would want it for its simplicity and its potential. It's a basic ability, but given how much damage it can absorb and how many types of damage it could deal with, he could easily just beef it up with other Quirks in order to get the most out of it.

-Explosion: Not only is this a simple, but effective power, but I think that there could be a lot of ways he could combo it with other Quirks. Whether it be reducing the drawbacks or enhancing its power output, there could be a lot ways in which All For One could use this with his other powers given how basic it is.

Minion: -Acid: One I'm on the fence about. Because I think he could use it pretty well and it could combo great with other abilities. But I don't think that he would want his skin turning pink, nor would he want the risk of burning his body. And of course, a Nomu would be far too stupid to take advantage of this power.

-Electrification: While All For One would be better at using this, he wouldn't want to put up the issues he couldn’t really counter. Given how much All For One values his intelligence, I doubt he would give that up and leave him open for a single Quirk. And since it may do more harm to a Nomu, it would be best to give it to a minion.

-Dark Shadow: Certainly one of the better powers, the drawbacks would just not work with All For One. Not only does it have a very exploitable weakness to light, but he would have a lot of time were he can't control it. Plus a Nomu, exactly maybe a High End, couldn't exactly get a handle on nuances of the power.

Nomu: -Engine: A simple ability, but I don't All For One really want it. I imagine it would be hard to work with other Quirks, the need to juice up would be a hassle, and its just going to be a pain to get new pairs of pants. Would work well for a Nomu though since there really isn't much depth to it.

-Dupli-Arms: A useful ability, but I doubt he would want to go through all of the training and other problems that would come from having all the extra appendages like the lack of control. Plus I feel like it could combo well with other Quirks you would give a Nomu, like "Shoulder Jets".

-Invisibility: While it could be downright monstrous for All For One to have this power, I don't think he would want the inconvenience that would come from being invisible all the time. A flying suit doens't exactly have the same kind of menace. Now a Nomu with this power would be just as, if not more so terrifying.

Uncertain: -Zero Gravity: A good ability for certain and could work well with his other powers. I just don't think he would really want to deal with the sickness factor, which can be a problem, or the fact that the Quirk is always on, making it harder for him to apply his other abilities. Might work for a minion.

-Half Cold Half Hot: While this one is certainly powerful, I'm not sure if All For One would want it. Not only because it may not combo well with other powers, but because he would have to deal with half of his body being affected. He may have Quirks that could counter those problems, but it would still be an issue.

-Creation: All For One is extremely intelligent, by far one of the smartest people in the series going by the data books. So this would fit perfectly for him right? However, I just don't think he would put in the time or work to really get the most of it, nor would he want to deal with the other problems that would arise.

Random question, but do you have any guess on the timeline? Like JB and Sarah seem to be in their season 1 finale clothes while in the episode that’ll take place in Charleston (where Kie is wearing the smiley face tee). How can that be?? We see them all jumping from the boat in different clothes and even in the Bahamas in different clothes. I’m so confused!!! Lol

Come on honey, what do you think I've been doing, analysing all the bts and spoilers we've gotten over the last year and cross referencing it with the trailer and still trying to construct some sort of timeline of events, like a crazy person?

Okay, yeah... timeline spec under the cut...

I'm not going to add photos for now because this is already so long but I can provide some in follow ups if y'all would like

So the big question is why the fuck are Sarah and John B in their finale outfits for so long if they are in the Bahamas in them and then back in Charleston in them. The answer, they aren't I'm thinking a week, two tops. If they were there longer they would have found other clothes, no question. But when does the time jump happen then? you may ask. Fucked if I know.

So I think John B and Sarah get to the Bahamas but apparently the cops are after them?

I guess maybe Ward know's and put out word? Maybe they aren't presumed dead for very long. The boat captain hears about these kids dying at sea and informs people that they actually picked those kids up and dropped them in the Bahamas.

Now, let try and make sense of Jarah B's time in the Bahamas.

They are on the run from the cops.

At some point Sarah gets kidnapped.

I predict this is on Ward's authority

Later when Sarah says 'she's driving' the same white vehicle that drove past and distracted her before getting kidnapped

They stole it in an escape attempt perhaps?

Later we have Jarah B in the green truck

They are confronted by Ward and Rafe

Who are wearing the same clothes they were when Ward shows Rafe the gold making me think this takes place in a small amount of time.

They push Ward to get away

Rafe aims a gun at them

Someone in a yellow jumper pushed his arm away

My prediction is Cleo - who I think works for Ward but ends up siding with Pogues

The gun still goes off and this might be where Sarah get her wound

Now after this I think Sarah and John B, for whatever reason, head back to the OBX. To do it I think they steal My Druthers Too - Wards Bahamas boat

In the meantime I believe this is when we have the pokie dock scene. Aka Kie in the pink top.

I truely can't make sense of what is happening in the dock scene but Pope doens't want Kie being cuddly, Kie storms off and then comes back because Pope has soemthing of hers? Idk man idk.

Kie and Pope get on the HMS which is just parked up in the marsh

At some point Kie and Pope - and I think JJ - are at the Wreck.

Then this brings us to the smiley face top and Charelston.

The day starts with JJ and Pope coming to pick up Kie and she fights with her parents

Kie is seen smiling on the dock at the Chateau

And then they are off to Charleston in Heywards truck.

The order of events here is unclear but a lot happens.

Pope goes to visit Limbrey

I think JJ and Kie have there own mission, which later leads to the shoulder touch while they are waiting for Pope

The Pogues reunite

They are seen wreaking havoc and collecting fuel, presumably for My Druthers Too

At this point Sarah is injured and at some point they have oversized white shirts over their finale clothes.

We see all the Pogues on My Druthers Too, maybe headed back to the OBX?

Next we have the police chase.

Now I think the Pogues are camped out on a beach somewhere the night before.

We have John B and Sarah in daylight sitting side by side.

At night Pokie do the same and lean in for a kiss

Perhaps now they have their friends back they can try and figure out what they are

The next day the cops find them, there is a chase along the beach.

They hide out in a swamp (the marsh?)

Sarah is struggling because of her wound

Sarah gets cornered by the cops on the Tannyhill dock

With what looks like John B's keys in her hand

John B gets arrested, as he's in those same clothes in his mug shot

He is facing the death penalty

Now this is why I believe John B get's exonerated midseason

He's been arrested, and they aren't going to stage a jailbreak

Also the pogues investigating the gold and having parties at the Chateau would not be happening while he's on the run

The still of Pope, Kie and JJ at the Chateau I think is them seeing John B after he got out.

There is also a police raid on Tannyhill

I think arresting Ward

Then the Pouges have their cats ass party to celebrate John B being a free man.

Rafe is out for revenge against John B and goes to Barry for help

They go to the Chateau and shoot at JJ

I don't think this is in the same night but I could be wrong

Now, I'm thinking that it is possible the time jump isn't until this point. I don't think it will be a large time jump - a month or so

All the outfits I have mentioned until now are still warm summer ones.

So there is a small jump with the pogues going back to school, everyone is now wearing jumpers and such

I think they are trying to frame it as it's just the three of them that are back at school but it's not

Again I could be wrong

Now because of the jumpers I think the storm drain/sewer scene happens after this time jump

In this case I don't know what the pogues are up to in that time Jarah B are in the Bahamas

I think the sewer scene might be about this mission they are on with finding keys and the map room and Pope up on the rafters ect. All at the word of Limbrey.

The scene where Kie and Pope find the key maybe before the time jump.

It's of note that there are pictures of JD and Maddie where Pope is wearing that outfit from the key finding but Kie seems to have changed.

I also think Kie getting/almost getting Tboned by the ambuecne takes place while Kie is wearing the key finding top

The next big scene that I'm sure of is when the pogues find the map room - because of the outfits

We see Pope happy in the Twinkie

The Pogues discover the room

There is a still of them lurking in the bushes

The find an old abandoned building and Pope falls from the rafters trying to find something and John B and JJ fail to catch him

Pope is in the twinkie with blue light flashing - looking worried

And Pope has mud on his face with some sort of cargo behind him

The order of these events is probably different

And then onto the explosion

The pogues are at Tannyhill the day of the explosion, Wheezie is also there and there is a cop car there

They are riding around in the twinkie at some point

And as they watch the explosion happen Sarah is barefoot

Then I guess we move onto back to the bahamas

Because of course they aren't letting go of the gold.

It looks like they stow away onto a cargo ship to get to the Bahamas

We see JJ and Kie at what I'm guessing is a port before they get on this ship

On the ship - my guess - we have JJ and Kie do the handshake, everything's going according to plan

The plan? Get off the boat before they make port

We see John B and Sarah jump

And then we see them waiting in the life boat as Pope and Cleo Jump

JJ and Kie are nowhere to be seen

What we do see if what I think is Rafe trying to stop them

I think this is when JJ gets hurt, they both jump from the ship but perhaps JJ is unconscious, he's got blood on his head

He gets pulled to the boat

Kie is freaking out but the shot we get is after he has come to and they know he is alright

You can see Sarah smiling in the background, Kie almost looks relieved and you can see JJ's lips starting to turn up in a smile

The Pogues then make it to the beach safe and sound and I guess in the Bahamas

There is at least one costume change of them - like did they pack bags?

Kie is in a white top and jean short when Sarah is in the grey bikini from 'back in the g game baby' which I think will be one of the last scenes in the show - which is odd that they would show us but I think they were trying to make us think that was at the start of the series to throw us off

There are also the photos where Kie is back in the eagle top and JB is in the fruit slices one that he jumped ship in... I can't really make sense of that.

Anyway I think that's a basic rundown of my current thoughts. There's still some outfits that I can't place to a scene other than a vague, they are here and these people are these. I could be way off but it's where my head is at right now.

i’m sick but no don’t worry about me, go to work, no really i can handle myself, love, it’s…. ok that sounds wonderful i’m giving up pls stay - adam x edith please! (~agentnatesewell)

kindest of kisses break the hardest of hearts

pairing: adam x edith

words: 1.4k

warnings: language, illness (just a fever), not really proof-read this because i’m sick of reading my stuff lol, so many en dashes...

a/n: shdjk thank you mar, i’m always happy to think about them<3 (this doens’t exactly follow the prompt but that’s only because i had to make it edith-friendly lmao)

It hasn’t been a quiet morning, nor a particularly pleasant one, for that matter (for either of them). Every minute that passes Edith’s voice raises higher, and Adam’s concern grows deeper as he watches her staggering across the apartment in that state. Once again his words are purposely ignored, and he does the only thing he can: he stands in her way, blocking her path to the front door.

“You’re ill,” he states firmly, hand running to her shoulder to stabilize her when she almost crashes into him. “Going out when you should clearly be resting is a bad idea, especially since you would not be able to do your job as efficiently as usual.”

Sweetening vehement advice with subtle praise is an art he’s becoming well-versed in, having fallen in love with someone whose maddening stubbornness rivals his own. This time, however, it doesn’t seem to be enough.

“Move or be moved.” Edith briefly sizes him up, arms folded and chin lifted in defiance. 

The fever has made her eyes glossy, the specks of dark green in their dark hue looking a bit duller than usual– not any less beautiful, Adam can’t help but think. The shade of them always reminds him of the beating heart of a forest, untamed and vibrant with buzzing life. It is quite a marvellous colour, as it seems to suits her so perfectly.

He gives a sound that’s part sigh and part huff, a feeling akin to an ‘I’d like to see you try’ crossing his face for the briefest moment (which he tries his best to conceal, fearing the challenge wouldn’t go unanswered).

A hint of pleading makes its way onto his next words, making them sound a bit less like an order.

“Edith, you cannot go to work in this state.”

“Yeah, right. Watch me, mum,” she scoffs, and it’s mostly to hide (from both herself and Adam) the way her chest flutters as soon as her name leaves his lips. 

He always does that, he says her name as if it’s the most important word of all, with a soft devotion that would better belong in a shrine. It’s as infuriating for Edith as it is endearing, and the worst thing is that he’s blissfully oblivious of just how hard it is to keep up her act when he plays that card.

So focused on keeping her glare in place, she doesn't even notice the wave of dizziness washing over her so violently that her legs give in.

At least not until Adam promptly breaks her fall, catching her in his arms with ease. He blurts out an “I’ve got you” as he does so, voice so low it's not even clear whether he's talking to Edith or himself.

He lifts her up and starts carrying her to bed, and of course, she has to start protesting (because god forbid she’d make things easy for him, especially right at this moment – no matter how comfortable her current position actually is).

“Just give me some medicine or something and go, I’m fine, I can handle myself!”

Adam groans loudly, staring down at her with the most exasperated look on his face. “Do you always have to be so stubborn?”

“Do you always have to boss people around?” she mimics, but he simply rolls his eyes.

“Only when I know better.”

A scoff. “Right, which is always I’m assuming?”

“Your words, not mine.”

Edith’s eyes narrow as he smiles sardonically, gently placing her down on her bed. “I really wanna strangle you right now.”

He barely cocks a brow at her glower, unbothered– after all, he knows her better than anyone. Well enough to know that she’s not nearly as mad as she thinks she is. 

“You can’t even lift your arms, but you’re welcome to try.”

Before she can respond (and by the look on her face Adam guesses it wasn’t going to be a pretty answer) they’re interrupted by the ring of his phone, and he picks it up without looking away from her. 

It’s a brief call. There are a few hummed 'yes' and 'no', then Adam starts listing a few orders to whoever's on the other side of that phone – Nate, most likely – asking them to handle things for the day, and hangs up. 

By the end of it, the expression on Edith’s face has morphed from childish rebelliousness to outrage. Her words come out in a hiss.

“What was that?”

“Well, I can’t trust you to stay home and rest on your own so I’ll have to stay here and make you.”

The prospect would be thrilling, normally. A whole day just the two of them wouldn't be something she'd ever object to. But this feeling of powerlessness weakening her limbs, along with the throbbing pain in her head and her skin burning as if on fire, are making it hard to find anything appealing.

“...You plan of fucking babysitting me?”

“Not like you left me a choice. You’re only going to hurt yourself.”

The retort and the way he's looking at her like she's throwing a tantrum, only fuel her annoyance as they prove to be not so wrong after all.

“I’m going to work, Adam. Deal with it.”

She says that yet she makes no move to get up, and he sighs.

“No, you’re not. And I’m staying with you.”

“I swear to god–”

“Do you have any idea of how absolutely frustrating you are?" His voice comes out a little more forcefully than he had intended, making Adam huff and shake his head. "I love you, why can’t you let me help?!”

There's a beat of silence. Edith is fixing him with a pointed stare after his little outburst, her face unreadable. Then, to his surprise, she relents.

“Fine.”

“Fine?”

She rolls her eyes at the shock in his voice. “Yeah, fine. Babysit me or whatever, I don’t care.”

Adam scoffs, fingers moving a strand of dark hair from her face. “It’s not babysitting. I’m taking care of you.”

“Sure.” Edith snorts, flashing him a somewhat playful smile despite the usual veil of sarcasm. “Because you love me.”

“Exactly.”

He doesn't miss a beat, and she has to struggle to fight the grin blossoming on her face.

“Kind of embarrassing for you, y’know?”

“Oh, shut up,” he laughs, the sound surprisingly soft coming from him (and it doesn’t help that he looks heavenly, the dimples on his cheeks oh-so inviting and his head slightly tilted so she can catch a pearl white glimpse of his sharp teeth).

Never in a million years had Edith imagined having something like... whatever it is they have. This feeling of being cared for is as foreign and confusing as it is intoxicating, and it’s possibly the reason why every time she pushes back, she also holds on tighter hoping for Adam to stay.

Wordlessly, she scoots over a bit so he can get on the bed next to her. He immediately catches her drift and complies without commenting, even though he can’t help but smile as she lies down at his side with her eyes closed– so effortlessly vulnerable... Adam still can’t believe someone as distrustful and guarded can easily unbend around him, much like he get to do the same around her.

“So,” she starts with a smirk after a moment, “Does this mean I can tell you what to do for a whole day?”

“I don’t see how that’d be different from any other day.” The dryness of his grumbled reply makes her chuckle, her breath tickling his shoulder as she nuzzles him and leaves a peck here and there. 

They stay like that for a while, just enjoying each other’s presence. Adam’s body is warm, but it feels almost cool against her feverish skin and Edith gladly leans into the feeling, the occasional contented sigh leaving her lips.

“Adam?” He feels her tugging on his shirt and tilts his head to take a better look at her. She giving him a half smile despite sleep weighing on her eyelids. “Take care of me a little closer.”

“Now, is that not ‘kind of embarrassing’ for you?” He hums as he pulls her close so she’s nestled into his arms (not without kissing her first), a deep chuckle reverberating in his chest when he hears her groan.

Her curses and threats are barely audible, mumbled against the crook of his neck as she struggles to keep her eyes open. The last thing she remembers before she falls asleep are Adam’s lips gently pressed against her forehead.
