Jack Harlow x Reader : ME OR HER?

Triger warning : Somewhat racists comments

A/N: This will not have a second part, perhaps an Instagram AU but that’s it.

You were currently in Atlanta for Jack’s last US show, you’ve been joining him on the road since the tour started and it’s been amazing so far.

Well as amazing as having to turn another way when little remarks from his team would be thrown at you.

You were hardheaded, there was so much you could take, but that little thread was about to cut loose. 

You’ve been ignoring everything that was thrown your way, you’ve been sucking it up and turning a blind eye.

Jack, bless his soul, has a thing where he sees the good in everyone around him. He either doesn’t hear what is thrown your way, or he just decides to ignore it to avoid confrontation.

There was something in the air tonight though, and you can feel it. You just hope by the end of the night no one walks out handcuffed or with a bloody nose. 

“Look at you, are you going to solve a mystery tonight?” You say at Jack and notice his outfit for the night gives you Fred and Shaggy vibes from Scooby-Doo.

He comes up to you and wraps you in a hug. “Yea, that mystery is finding a way to get in between your legs, while I’m on stage.” 

You laugh “You’re such an idiot.” 

He pecks your lips real quick and pulls back “Yea, but I’m your idiot.”

You and Jack had met a couple of years ago in Miami through your friend Nicky Jam, and ever since, you two have been texting back and forth, hanging out in the down low. You’ve been together for almost a year now but never put a title to whatever it was you two had.

It was great at the beginning, no one but your best friends knew, and you enjoyed that very much. Until recently, he took you back to his hometown to meet his parents and his little brother and introduced you as his girlfriend.

He had also talked about moving in together but that was something you both had to sit down and decide if it’s what you really want so soon.

Although he always tells you he’s been sure about you since the first time he laid eyes on you- yes he’s a romantic, who would’ve thought. But he told you he was ready for the next two huge steps. 

When his tour started for his recent album, Come Home The Kids Miss You, he asked you to join him. It was fun but half way through it, there was a certain person who seemed to have something against you.

“So, when are you going to let me hear what you’ve been working on at the studio?’ Jack asks you, pulling you away from your thoughts.

You blush and shy away “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

He raises his eyebrows “Now baby, I know you’re not lying to me because Nicky told me you two have been busy and that he’s impressed with your music.”

You smile “I’m just nervous, he said the song was ready to be put out, but I don’t think I want to, not right now anyway. I just want to enjoy being here with you and watch you do your thing.”

“I love you for that, but come on, this is what you wanted all those years ago, stop stalling and put it out already, I’m sure people will love it.”

He takes your head into his hands and makes you look up at him “Let me listen to it, and I’ll be brutally honest if that’s what you want. But if Nicky Jam is telling me you’re the next big thing for Latin Music, then I know your song is good.”

When you met Jack you were barely getting into your music, so he’s been asking you everyday to let him hear something from your upcoming album- your first album at that, but you’ve just been nervous to show him.

You nod “Let me work on some last adjustments to it and I promise to let you listen to it before it’s out.”

“That’s my girl, now come on, I want to love up on you before the show.” He says and pulls you along towards his dressing room, passing his team on the way.

“Ugh, why does he keep bringing her around?” Neelam asks Urban and Clay

“Bring who around?” Urban, Jack’s best friend asks from their spot on the couch.

“The little Mexican girl, she’s been tagging along for a while now.”

“Damn Nee, why’d you say it like that.?” Clay asks 

“Plus, that’s his girl, and he wanted her close.” Urban says.

Neelam then whips her head towards Urban so fast “What do you mean she’s his girl? Since when and why am I just finding out?”

Clay shrugs and scrolls through his phone “For a while, she’s met my parents and I think there’s plans for her to move in with him.”

She chuckles, “That doesn't mean anything, he takes every other girl back home.”

“This is different though, but why do you care so much?” Urban asks her, looking at her confused.

“Does she have anything going on for her? Is she always around because she doesn’t have money? Because I think I can find her a cleaning job around here.” 

Clay and Urban look at each other shocked that Neelam is even saying that “Yo, that’s a bit racist don’t you think?”

“No, that’s besides the point. Did she sign an NDA? Did Drama or Nickie give her one?”

“No, Jack didn’t want to, even though she’s said plenty of times that she doesn’t mind signing one.” Clay tells her getting annoyed, he gets up from the couch and looks at Neelam, “I don’t want to be rude to you, but you’re getting out of hand talking down on her, you’ve been doing it non stop, you don’t even know her.” he finishes and leaves.

“I agree with little bro, she’s heard you say things like this on numerous occasions and she decides not to call you out on it, that says a lot about her.” 

“Oh come on Urb, the only thing that says is she’s looking for a handout, that’s why she lets me get away with it. Any other person would've stepped up to me.” Neelam says 

Urban takes a deep breath and gets up to leave as well. “Maybe say it to her in front of Jack, let's see how that works for you.” 

Neelam then gets up and takes out a stack of papers from her bag. “You know what? Maybe I will after the show.” She says and marches her way towards Jack's dressing room.

“FUUCCCKKKKK.” Urban says to himself. 

*After the show* 

Jack was on a high, his adrenaline was on a roll and all he wanted to do was take a quick shower, get something to eat and spend time with you and in you. 

But as soon as he made his way backstage something in him knew that wasn’t going to happen. 

“All I’m saying is, you’re always around and I never see you pay for a thing. So that tells me everything I need to know. You’re here because he’s paying for you or paying you to be here. Therefore I need you to sign these papers.” He heard Neelam say to someone but he couldn’t see who since there was a circle of people around her. 

“I’ll sign the NDA, I have no problem with that. But don’t disrespect me.” Jack hears your soft voice and now that has him confused and on a different type of adrenaline.

The crowd consisted of Clay, Cope, Sunni, Drama and Ace Pro, all surrounding the girls. 

“What is going on?.” Jack asks them which causes all of them to turn his way.

He notices your eyes are watery and he can tell you’re also getting angry. 

He goes up to you “You okay baby?” 

You go to answer him but Neelam speaks first. “Oh she’s fine. You just need to tell her to sign this and she needs to go home for a few days until this is settled into the books.” 

“She’s not signing anything. If I wanted her too, she would’ve a long time ago.” Jack says.

“It’s ok, I’ll sign it.” You tell him and take the papers away from her and start reading through them. 

“Don’t look at me like that Jack, I’m doing this for you. You barely even know her and she has you acting dumb. Since when don’t you have your little friends sign? We’ve worked too hard for you to lose yourself to this little girl.” Neelam tells him.

“What the actual fuck is wrong with you right now? Have you gone mad.?” He asks and looks at everyone else “I told you two where we stand, and I made myself clear I don’t want her signing a damn thing.” 

Drama shrugs “Hey I just got here when Nee started going off on her.”

“It doesn’t matter, you’re an idiot. Your career is rising and you decide now to get a girlfriend? Jack, there’s plenty of girls on the road who are more than willing to keep you company, but do not settle down now. If she’s what you’re looking for to keep you company, I’m pretty sure I can find you one that looks just like her in every hotel you’re staying at.” Neelam says 

“What? What does that even mean?” Jack asks, “I don’t know what brought this up, but this ends now.”

He looks at you and takes the papers away from you. “Let’s go.”

He starts pulling you away from everyone and while you’re walking you pass by a trash can and he tosses the papers inside and then turns to Neelam “Get them if you really want them.” 

“It's either me, or her Jack.” Neelam says 

You both stop to look at her “What?” 

She smiles “Me or her, plain and simple.”

“Are you out of your mind right now?.” 

“No, I just know what’s best for you.” She then looks at you “Let the adults talk, go clean up catering, it's what you do best.” 

You nod “You’ve been throwing racist words my way, one of them consists of saying all I’m good for is cleaning up. You don’t know me so stop.” 

“I don’t need to know you, I know girls like you. You’re just paying attention to him now that his career is rising, he’s more known. Obviously you want to ride off his fame. But I won’t let you, like I said, if you need a job, I can find you one. But stay away from him.” She says coming up to you now.

You smile “If you’d bother to get to know me, rather than having your head so far up his ass, you’d know I don’t need a job and I definitely don’t need him to succeed in life. All you want to do is throw shade my way and expect me not to say anything in return? I’ve held my tongue because of him.” 

“Bravo you actually have a backbone, but my comments towards you still stands.” She looks at Jack now. “I’ve been with you since you started, I know what’s best for you and your career. She’s not one of them. So again, it’s me or her.” 

“I’m not doing this with you.” Jack tells her 

“Jack, it’s not that easy, you’ve done this plenty of times, decide now, me or her. Because if you decide to stay with this-“ she points at you, “I’m out, I’m not staying for this shit.” 

“What is it that you don’t like about her? She makes me happy, she keeps me grounded. We’re good, so I don’t understand where this is all coming from out of nowhere.” He tells her.

“It’s not out of nowhere, I just simply don’t like her, never have, never will. Not when you two met three years ago, not now.” 

“Well you’ll have to suck it up because she’s not going anywhere.” 

Neelam looks surprised at his words “So you’re choosing her then?” 

“I’m not a child, I’m not doing this ultimatum bullshit.” He snaps at her 

“None of you are going to stand up for me? Tell him he’s messing up his career for little miss girl?” She asks Drama and Nick “You two were saying how she’s been distracting him, so grow a pair and tell him.” 

You’re getting annoyed at this point, you loved Jack, you did but this was getting out of hand and you don’t know if you can take it any longer. 

You look at Jack and notice he looks hurt and confused all together. You know this must be hard for him.

Yes, Neelam has been there alongside him through everything, since day one, so you know this must be hurting Jack more. 

You step aside from everyone and go towards the trash can and get the papers Jack had thrown in there not too long ago. 

You dig through your purse for a pen “Y/N what are you doing?” Jack asks you. 

You shake your head but don’t look at him and sign the papers “It’s ok.” You tell him. 

You turn towards where Neelam is at and give her the papers “I don’t need his money, I have that. You’d know that if you’ve taken at least five minutes to get to know me. Or if you’d actually done your job and searched me up.” You tell her.

You then go turn to Jack “She’s not going to stop, she’s been doing this for a while now. I rolled with it because I know how important she is to you.” You take in a deep breath “I would never make you choose between me or anyone, that’s just evil and childish. But something deep inside also tells me you’d choose her, which I understand completely as well and I don’t blame you for it. I blame her.” 

“What are you saying right now?.” He asks you, his tone a bit worried 

You take in a deep breath “I’m choosing for you.” you tell him sadly. 

He goes up to you, wraps his arms around you and places his forehead against yours. “No” he shakes his head. “I know what you’re doing and I’m not letting you.” 

You pull away from him “The papers are signed, I won’t tell anyone. The world will never know him and I had anything to do with one another.” you tell his team. 

“Y/N let’s talk about this in private, this is nonsense.” Jack says, trying to pull you towards him. 

“Oh my god, let her go Jack, she’s not even all that. She needs to go back to wherever she came from.” Neelam says 

You turn your head so fast towards her “Say that again, to my face.” You finally snapped and got closer to her. “You know what? No, I’m done, so fucking done. You preach online how being mean is so middle school, but you’re the meanest person around.” 

You turn to look at Jack “This shit is hurtful because I honestly believe she does want what’s best for you. But she’s coming at me sideways and wrongly at that. Yes, even when she continues to talk down on me, I’m being nice, that’s who I am. But I’m not taking it anymore. You’re meant for greatness and the world is going to be so lucky to witness you grow, I’m just sad I won’t be around to see that.” 

You tell him and and see he has tears in his eyes, you go up to him and leave a kiss on his cheek “You’ll do such amazing things superstar, I’m sure of it. Take care yeah?” You tell him in a low voice so only he can hear you. 

You don’t even give him a chance to react or say anything. You just pull away and walk away from him, and he lets you. 

He knows you won’t come back.

He knows he should’ve went after you.

He knows he should’ve stood up to Neelam. 

But most importantly, he knows he won’t ever be the same. 

He let you go, and the little box inside his pocket reminds him of what could have been.

Hi, Welcome to my supernatural masterlist! As this is the fandom I seem to have written the most for, it’s taken up around half of my main masterlist, so I thought it’d be easier to have a whole separate one where you can find every fic related to supernatural.

★ - Angst ☆ - Fluff ☆ﾐ - Series

Dean Winchester

★ Careful What You Wish For Dean’s been pining for his best friend for years now. Though, it isn’t until he breaks out from the Jinn’s dream world (in which she took the role of his girlfriend), that he comes clean.

★ Survivors Guilt When Dean returns back to the land of the living, he seeks out to locate his girlfriend. He finds her sitting alone at a bar; it’s obvious this time without him has changed her.

★ When Evil isn’t so Bad Dean was brought up to believe demons were nothing but the enemy, a monster to be slain. But when the Winchester Brothers find Y/n, a demon whose not so bad, his opinion begins to sway.

☆  Remedies for Insomniacs Y/n is notorious for getting herself hurt. So when she can’t sleep, Dean fixes up everything he can to ease her insomnia.

★The Soulmate Situation It’s written in every hunter handbook that to stay clear of ones soulmate; a rule of which Dean has lived by all his life. After Y/n fixes up Dean’s wounds, it becomes clear she’s more than just his nurse. The boy does everything he can to push her away.

☆ﾐ  The Side Effects of Curses While hunting a witch, Y/n gets a rather harmful curse placed on her. Slowly, the people around her begin to forget her existence - Dean is the last, and only, person who remembers, stopping at nothing to lift the curse. Part two When Y/n bumps into her forgotten friends on a hunt, they team up together, unaware of how they once knew her. Dean gets a hunch something is up and doesn’t stop until he figures out what exactly.

★ Lawless Y/n is assigned the impossible case of catching the Winchester brothers. When she finally gets her hands on them, a threat of which only they can solve hits. Y/n has no choice but to turn to them for help.

★ If It was a preference You had your own history with the Winchester brothers, in particular, Dean. So when the two bumped into you, accompanied by a new hunter partner, jealousy can’t help but grow.

★ That Grey Area When Sam and Dean discover that their fellow friend and hunter is in fact getting involved in witchcraft, they can’t help but take matters into their own hands.

☆ The Exception Y/n and Dean have been silently pining for one another since they first met. Though, things suddenly start to come out when the two venture on a hunt on their own.

☆ Bad Dreams When the mark begins to conjure vicious nightmares for Dean, it’s only a matter of time before his best friend finds out.

★  Places We Shouldn’t Go When Y/n suffers a panic attack at a crowded bar, the brothers do all they can to help calm her.

☆ Unwind After a long hunt, both of the brothers are tired and in need of Y/n’s comfort.

Sam Winchester

☆ Coffee Stains and Stolen Jackets Sam is utterly infatuated with a girl in his weekly lecture. When she comes in one day, wearing a coffee stained shirt, he offers her his jacket; it just so happens to be the start of something.

★ Places We Shouldn’t Go When Y/n suffers a panic attack at a crowded bar, the brothers do all they can to help calm her.

☆ Unwind After a long hunt, both of the brothers are tired and in need of Y/n’s comfort.

Casitel Novak

★ Healing Wounds Y/n usually sits behind the front lines, doing all she can to research the monsters that the brothers slaughter. When the girl finds herself shoved into the frontlines, Cass worries it may go south. When it does, he struggles to keep his feelings to himself.

devil night - john b and angel

three years ago

angel

“please. you’re really going to let me go with some guy that i don’t know?” i asked my friend, tugging on his school blazer so he can look at me. sighing, nico turned over to me and shook his head.

“you can go with anyone else. you’re drop dead gorgeous and that’s the whole point of the dance. to ask out who you want to.”

“and i want to ask you. so how about it? with me you know exactly what you’re getting into and there’s no playing games.”

“tell me you don’t want to go with andrew without telling me you don’t want to go with andrew. suprised he didn’t pop up as soon as you ask me. i expect him to tag you or something. at least have a wire.” he joked tapping my shoulder and leaning closer to it, pretending he was talking in a microphone. “hey andy. how you doing today?”

pushing him off as he started laughing hysterically my voice turned pleading. “come on. we always have a good time when we’re together.” and i don’t want to be hounded all night by andrew and create false expectations on what we are.

i don’t say that part out loud though.

nico might be joking about the microphone but i don’t put it past him. andy always seems to find me even when i’m not telling him where i’m going.

“fine. i’ll go with you.” he gives in and i give a quick squeeze. “thank you. it won’t be disappointing i swear.” i said before heading to my class of the day.

now it’s gonna be easier to talk about the upcoming dance at dinner tonight when mrs routledge brings it up. i could tell the truth instead of changing the subject and feel the need to hide because of andy’s eyes on me.

making sure my hair covered my entire neck, i slipped into my seat next to my friend laura. she flashed me a smile as we got paper out. pop quiz friday. we know the routine.

as the class starts to settle in a senior comes in beaming. “they’re here!” she squeals as she makes her way to her friends and they start giggling as they talk?

who’s here?

“alright class. you know the drill. solve these five problems.” mr gary said turning on the projection and the sound of pencils soon fill the room as we solved the problems.

slope formula is y = mx + b and if x equals zero that means b and m is equal.

i watch as a freshman came into the classroom and gave a note to the mr gary. he read the note and sighed and pulled out a book, pretending to read it.

what?

then I heard the music playing.

they’re here.

the banging on the lockers soon followed.

they’re really here.

four figures came into the classroom. all wearing black hoodies and black pants with masks. jj maybank, rafe cameron, pope heyward, and the one who is the reason i refuse to be anything but friendly to andrew. his older, taller, hotter, and a whole lot more intimidating brother john b routledge.

the four horseman.

they were back.

probably because the basketball team sucked without them. i used to go to every game now i go once in a while and i didn’t pay attention to any of the new players. the new players weren’t them.

whatever magic the team had, it seemed they took it with them. no wonder the coaches or the sponsors called them down from college to pump up the team spirits.

do the tradition no one else seen be able to do. outer banks’ favorite holiday.

devil’s night.

a night of pure chaos where all adults looked away for the night. only the police trying to keep a leash on us.

“ryder johnson.” a boy from the back of the classroom got up. his eyes get flickering around, nervous as we all watched him. “yeah get some ryder.” that made him walk straighter to the one with the black mask - rafe cameron - and a smile to appear on his face as he walked out with rafe’s hand on his neck.

“walter james.” they called again and he didn’t hesitate as the one with the white mask - pope heyward - brought him out.

I can hear a couple of the girls giggling and i put my head back down. finish my work and prepare for what my friends were going to drag me on later.

i heard one of their boots start to walk. probably to see if they miss any other player.

they stopped at my desk.

i can feel my face heat up as i felt their stare on me. no one was whispering now.

looking up, my eyes meeting his and my breath hitched. i was facing the one with the red mask. the one that i was looking for every room i went in. the one whose presence i couldn’t shake even after he left for college.

john b.

our eyes held.

what does he want? he got all the people he wanted for now. girls who was old enough would follow and he would and could have anybody he wants.

but no. his focus was completely on me. it was like the whole classroom was gone and it was just the two of us.

he leaned closer and I sat up more, not wanting to be the one to ruin this. no matter what my thoughts yelled at me.

“she can’t go. she’s only seventeen.” mr gary said but he stayed in his seat. john b didn’t look away from me.

he knew what age i was. just a month younger then his brother. he didn’t budge.

“see something you like?” jj asked.

john b didn’t respond.

“okay. see something you want to bring?” john b shook his head and sat up more. “not yet anyway.” he whispered before they walked out,

my eyes followed as they walked out the room and stayed on the door as two girls walked out with their books, making terrible excuses not even trying to hide their smiles.

“five more minutes.” mr gary announced and i know he meant the quiz but who gives a shit now.

“can you bring this to my house?” i asked laura and raised my hand, putting the other on my stomach. “what are you do-?”

“yes ms santos?”

“my stomach doesn’t feel so good. can i go to the nurse?” he nodded and wrote me a pass.

i expected as much. who would believe that perfect little angel santos would be doing anything else? the straight a student who does volunteer work and wears her uniform in perfect order would be sneaking off to hang out with boys too old for her?

i grabbed the pass from him with a small smile and made my way out. hoping that they didn’t leave yet.

turning the corner in the parking lot, i saw them. the rest of the parking lot was dead so it was easy but it seemed like that everywhere they go. they had an aura that draws you to them.

pope heyward smiling with his mask on, drinking a beer and handing the rest out to the basketball players and girls there. rafe cameron was watching with his arms crossed, getting checked out by some of the girls.

rafe and pope’s car was filled with people. meanwhile it looked like they were using jj’s to house all the drinks.

perfect.

getting closer i prayed they didn’t notice me as i open john b’s car door and sat on the floor. i kept the door open as they got everybody riled up for their next stop.

“man, i do miss high school girls. they don’t give any lip back when you tell them something.” rafe mumbled and i heard jj chuckle.

“where are we going?” someone asked.

“somewhere where they can’t hear you scream.” that was pope’s warm deep voice.

“don’t scare them. that’s what the party is for.” rafe teased and the three of them laughed.

“are you guys done? let’s go.”

john b.

“what got him so pissy?” pope asked and i heard them get farther.

jj ignored his question. “she’s growing up fast and nice huh?”

“yeah. it’s getting harder to pretend not to notice her anymore.” john b replied and I felt something tugging on my heart.

but it was nothing new. he always had a new girl on his arm. he wasn’t mine to keep and i thought i gotten used to that fact.

“who are you guys talking about?” rafe questioned.

“no one. everyone get in their cars. i’m ready to get this weekend ready already.” he said and slammed his door behind him and I closed mine at the same time and laid back in the car.

the roar of the engine underneath me as i try to keep as still as possible. ready for wherever and whatever i was getting myself into.

WIP Wednesday (It's Saturday)

I was tagged by the wonderful @simonxriley thanks so much dude!

I always suck at tagging people, but I know this can be for writing and art, so I'll try to tag a few others. @samithemunchkin @tokillamockingbird427 @alidravana and anyone else who wants to join in on the fun!

I've been going back and forth with different WIPs, so I'll do the one that I actually worked on today.

Merrick’s in his office filing paperwork when he gets back, fingers clicking away on a laptop he’d been given. His graying brows are furrowed and surrounded by deep wrinkles, the man having seemed to age much quicker in the last year or so. 

“Hey Merrick.” Hesh knocks lightly against the open door, a flat smile on his face while he waits for his captain to look up. 

“What’s going on, kid?” His eyes flick up for a brief moment, a faint spark barely crossing his eyes for a second before it's gone and he’s looking back at his paperwork. 

“I uh, there’s not much to do. I wanted to see if you needed my help.” He takes a seat in the chair across from him. He quite likes the place they’ve been staying in, it’s got a lot of older furniture, but much of it is quite comfortable and cozy. It often reminds him of their old places they’d stay at. Safehouses full of outdated furniture among other things. He lets out a sigh, rubbing his hands back and forth on the fabric of the armrests. His grandparents had chairs like these in their lounge. 

“I’m all set, Hesh.” He answers, short and curt. Always cold. Hesh knows Merrick doesn’t mean to be cold, he’s usually warmer with his men when he can be. “I’m just finishing up my half of this, Price will finish his when he gets back.” Another brief glance. “Are you alright?” 

“I’m good.” He answers, which is a half-truth. Logan had been doing much better; less nightmares, fewer violent outbursts. He’s finally willingly letting nurses take blood samples, among all the other things they need from him. Constant checks, constant evals. It never ends. Hesh would give anything to snatch his little brother and take him far, far away from here. It wouldn’t have to be back home, there’s nothing left and that’s the first place anyone would look. Soap’s warm smile crosses his mind, a soft skip in his heartbeat catches his breath. Maybe they could all run away together. 

It wouldn’t solve their problems, and none of them were runners. Soap still wanted to lead his team, and Hesh was more than ready for another promotion. Certainly, he’d earned the privilege of being a Captain. Granted, the idea of leading the Ghosts not only excited him but left him with doubts. Rorke had led them, his father, and now Merrick. The Ghosts seemed to have a hard time keeping captains and soldiers alike. They’d all been through so much, both before and after ODIN. Both before and after Torch, Grim, Ajax and his father were killed. It was a heavy burden to lead the Ghosts, and Hesh was beginning to wonder if he still wanted that. 

Pulling himself from his thoughts, he jumps a bit when his eyes land on Merrick’s stern ones, boring into his face. 

“Thought I lost you for a second there.” He states, eyes flicking around Hesh’s face. “Go get some rest kid, you need it.” 

“I don’t-” He tries to argue, shutting up when Merrick gives him that look., the same look his father used to give him when he’d try to argue. “Yes sir.” He answers with a sigh, pulling himself from the chair and leaving without looking back. He probably had that look on his face still, and he didn’t want to see his father in Merrick’s eyes. 

Sorry for any weird spacing, I didn't feel like fixing it, I'm terrible at website Tumblr.

Chasing Ghosts

Pairing: N/A Summary: Rewrite of Ch. 21 in The Hawthorne Legacy featuring Avery and Oren. Length: Short Story Type: Rewrite

A/N: Hi guys! Here's an old draft of mine from my rewrite era that I finally decided to finish although I can assure you that it's not the only one I have left. There's a bunch to come and please comment or message me if you want to be put on a tag list for my future fics.

My head of security laid it out for me. "Tobias Hawthorne the Second. You think he's alive."

“I know he is.”

Oren was silent for a long moment. “Have I told you how I came to be in Mr. Hawthorne’s employ?”

I had no idea where that question had come from. “No.”

“I was career military, ages eighteen to thirty-two. I would have stayed in until I hit twenty years, but there was an incident.” The way Oren said the word incident sent ice down my spine. “Everyone in my unit was killed except me. By the time Mr. Hawthorne found me a year later, I was in bad shape.”

I couldn’t picture Oren out of control. “Why are you telling me this?”

“Because,” Oren said, “I need you to understand that I owe Mr. Hawthorne my life. He gave me a purpose. He dragged me back into the light. And the last thing he asked of me was that I stay on to head your security team.” Oren let that sink in.  “Whatever I have to do to keep you safe,” he continued, his voice low, “I will do it.”

“Do you think there’s a threat?” I asked him. “A real one? Are you worried about whoever left that heart?”

“I’m worried,” Oren replied, “about what you and the boys are doing. About the ghosts you’re digging up."

I scoffed at that and shook my head. “Speak of the ironies, Oren. Haven’t you concluded yet that the so-called “ghosts” we’re digging up are because of your former boss? Why do you think me and the brothers have been going at this for three weeks? Because Tobias requested it. You know what Xander’s clue was after the first game? Find Tobias Hawthorne the Second. Why would he want his own grandson who would be put in a perilous position to find his uncle if he didn’t want him to dig up said ghosts?”

He gave me a long hard look but stayed quiet. I continued, “You say that he saved your life and for that you owe him. So tell me why the same man just asked another to risk theirs?” I was scared for Xander. If Oren was right about one thing, this mission was a dangerous one. We were digging up the past and when that was a billionaire’s past, only God knew what that would bring up from the depths. Blackmail, shady dealings, dark web connections, the list went on. I shivered at the thought.

Oren sighed. “Mr. Hawthorne had a… particular way of doing things. They weren’t always savory. That extends to the way he raised them. The boys, as good as they are, never really learned not getting their way, at least in the case of his games.” 

I considered that. The brothers weren’t all bad and for all the assumptions I may have had about rich boys, they were the best bunch to be around. However, the amount of family drama they had clearly influenced certain behaviors and attitudes. “This is why I’m concerned for your safety. These boys, they’re grieving and while I’m sure this final hurrah of his helps them cope with his death, it’s not wise to pick up a cold case. Somebody could get involved that he crossed, that’s why we have the List. And furthermore, his son being alive could mean your ironclad status as heir could be very easily dismantled. Why risk it?”

Yes, why risk it all? I rolled the question around in my mind, thinking up the insinuations, the consequences, the pros, the answers we’d get if we solved it, the questions if we didn’t. But there was something more. “I have to know,” I whispered.

“What was that?” 

“I need to know. Oren…” I looked up and met his gaze. “I’m sorry.” I shuffled around the desk and made my way to the door.

“Where are you going?” he called after me. “Hey!”

“I’m sorry, Oren. I’m so sorry but I got to do this. I can’t give this up.” 

“Avery, explain what you’re thinking. What are you doin-” The last part of his question cut off as I found the nearest passage and the entrance turned back into the wall. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair. Then I reached for my phone and texted Jameson.

SPADE x HUNTER Chronicles

The Hunter Exam Pt. 5

In case you don't come from the main post, hi. This is my attempt to fully insert my HxH S/I in the main story! Gotta thank my friends whose feedback has kept me motivated to continue writing and finally posting this work, because my original plan was to keep it to myself lol

January 11th OST: It'll Surely Be Fun 09:20 AM Two days had gone by, the time had almost run out, and still no sign of my group.  Chatlog:

– [Spade]: “Time’s almost up…”

[Hanzo]: “Ugh… yep! I can’t wait to finally get outta here! Say… I haven’t seen the clique you stuck around with the first couple days arrive yet… Do you think they made it?”

[Spade]: “I really hope so… I'm honestly so worried, I don’t want to imagine what sort of crazy things they must’ve gone through, maybe they’re injured…”

[Hanzo]: “Maybe they just got lost, they could still be alive… wait, what’s that noise?” –

At the last minute, I saw Gon, Killua and Kurapika arrive down a sort of slide, and at the very last second, I saw Leorio come down too along with… Tonpa?! That explains everything, that man probably made them lose a bunch of time by tricking them. Regardless, I looked at Hazo with happiness and he nodded, and I ran up to my group. Chatlog:

– [Spade]: "You guys!!"

[Leorio]: "Spade! Woah that’s a tight hug! Are you alright? How are you? Oh, how I'm glad to see you!"

[Spade]: "I'm okay! What about you? You took so long... is everyone all in one piece? I was so worried!!"

[Leorio]: "Ah, don't worry, we're all fine! I was worried that I lost you too, I was scared that you were still stuck in Trick Tower. Don't cry, Spade! We're all alright, and we didn't leave you behind. There's no need to panic anymore, alright?"

[Spade]: "I-I'm not crying!"

[Leorio]: "Ah, you are crying… Well, I'm certainly glad that you're safe, Spade. I really am.”

[Spade]: “I’m glad you’re all okay too.  With how much time you were taking, I feared that you might've..."

[Leorio]: "Oh, we just ran into some problems during our trials. We had to find our way out, and it took a bit longer than we had originally thought. But rest assured, we're all fine. I could say the same for you, Spade. You really had us worried too."

[Spade]: "I-I wouldn't die so easily... My challenge was mostly just frustrating. Still... I'm glad we're all together again!"

[Leorio]: "So am I... I'm glad we're all still a team in the end. Speaking of, what was your path like?”

[Spade]: “Well… I had to solve puzzles with… that guy over there-”

[Leorio]: “#301?! You must have nerves of steel if you only felt frustrated being stuck with that guy on your own!”

[Spade]: “Haha, it wasn’t… too bad- oh! The door’s opening!” –

I finally let go of my friend and soon noticed Killua making a disgusted face, not much for seeing people being affectionate, huh? In the end, 27 people passed, one of which died shortly after.

OST: Mosadomo no Heigei

09:40 AM

We were all led out of trick tower, and finally met the evil bastard that locked me in a “Couple Puzzles” journey with flipping Pinhead.

Lippo really didn’t look intimidating at all, but I’ve slowly learned that not every strong person needs to look big and scary. Still hate him though, for separating me from my buddies.

He brought a box for us, and we had to draw cards from it. Whoever we picked was our next target in the following phase. My target was… 198! It took me a bit to remember who that was, but then I realized he was one of the Amori brothers, the one wearing a light blue shirt. I sneaked a look at him and saved his appearance in my head. He noticed me looking, but instead of looking scared or anything, he just grins smugly and points finger-guns at me.

I hid my number tag inside a secret pocket in my backpack.

10:00 AM

We departed for Zevil Island. During the 2 hour ride I hung out with Kurapika and Leorio again, who were just resting up and chatting with each other, until I came around, and Leorio started to talk about their part of the third phase. 

Chatlog:

–

[Spade]: “So… I’m curious, what was your path like?”

[Kurapika]: “It was called ‘Majority Rule’, the five of us had to vote every time we needed to make a choice… we hit a few bumps along the road, but as you can see we came out of it just fine”

[Spade]: “Ah… must’ve been tough though, it took you guys the whole 72 hours to complete it! How come?”

[Leorio]: "Uh… that’s not important! Right, Kurapika?”

[Kurapika]: “*sigh*, yeah, just some tough choices”

[Spade]: "Oookay? Does it have to do with Tonpa? I told you guys that man was trouble-”

[Kurapika]: “He wasn’t too much of a problem, honestly… but the rumors you heard the first day were right, he’s a very deceitful man, and he’s still in the race, so we should be wary of him”

[Spade]: “I knew it-”

[Leorio]: “... Oh yeah! There’s another thing that happened- you know that… boy Gon befriended?”

[Spade]: “Hm? Oh yeah, Killua?”

[Leorio]: “Yeah, he’s- absurdly strong! He killed the most feared serial killer in Zaban City history with ONE hand!”

[Spade]: “S-seriously?”

[Kurapika]: “Gon knew this already, but apparently he’s the son of a world famous assassin family, and after what I saw him do… I believe him”

[Spade]: “That’s crazy… Well, good thing he’s on our side, right?”

[Leorio]: “Yeah… heh”

[Spade]: “... I also wanted to know, given the nature of our next trial, I’m not your target, right?”

[Kurapika]: “What’s your tag number?”

[Spade]: “#378”

[Kurapika]: “Nope, not my target. Leorio?”

[Leorio]: “You’re not mine either- is either of us your target?!”

[Spade]: “Heh, no no, don’t worry. My target is #198, he’ll be a tough one to hunt, if anything because he always travels with his two brothers”

[Leorio]: “Damn… you sure you can handle that on your own?”

[Spade]: “Of course I can! I’ll just have to strike at the perfect moment”

–

12:30 PM

We finally got to Zevil Island, which meant things were soon going to get serious. I not only had to look for my target, but also look out for whoever was hunting me. I was confident in my ability to make quick work of whoever was hunting me.

We were sent out onto the island in 2 minute intervals between each other, so Hisoka was the first to go, then Gittarackur, then me etc.

I used this advantage to go and find a good hiding spot from which I could watch people leave, so that I could immediately begin tracking Imori’s movements, but apparently I’m not the only one who got that idea, so I’m forced to move elsewhere to avoid being found.

We had seven days to hunt down our prey anyway, and also needed to survive for that amount of time, so I decided to take my time for once, and explore the island’s grounds a bit instead. That and hunting for food is how I spent my first day. I set up a small camp near the river and chose to sleep inside a tree to hide myself.

January 12th

OST: Master of Curses

When I woke up the following day, I found that my sleeping spot had been trapped by examinee #36. Unable to avoid triggering any traps, I decided to just walk through them and get caught up inside a net, while 36 came out of his hiding spot, gloating about catching me so easily. I didn’t really panic, trying to break the nets using my knife, but it didn't cut it, it was made of a very resistant material or something… The man attempted to get a hold of my backpack, but I slashed his hand while still trapped in the net. I needed to get out of there fast, so I coated my knife in Shu making it much more powerful and capable of cutting through anything if I believed in it hard enough. The man was shocked at how my knife cut through his net like butter, but before he could say anything else, I swiftly knocked him out and tied him up with his own net, before plopping him inside the spot I’d used to sleep in previously. Well, that took care of my hunter… now to track down my prey…

That was until I saw Killua on the other side of the river. I waved at him and he quickly jumped over it to reach me.

Chatlog:

–

[Spade]: “Hey! Is… this guy your target?”

[Killua]: “Hm? Let me check… #36? Ugh, no… you’re that old man’s friend, right?”

[Spade]: “O-Old man? You mean Leorio?”

[Killua]: “Oh, so that’s his name, yeah… you’re not my target either”

[Spade]: “Lucky! So… why were you looking at me earlier?”

[Killua]: “Hm? I was just curious to see if you could handle that, though… I didn’t have a lot of doubts.”

[Spade]: “And why is that?”

[Killua]: “Gon told me you held your ground against Hisoka pretty well, and managed to land a good hit on him.”

[Spade]: “Oh… well yeah, though part of me feels like he let me hit him on purpose to gauge my strength”

[Killua]: “Huh… well okay then, I’m off, I still gotta find my target, see you in a week!”

[Spade]: “Wait! Who… who’s your target?”

[Killua]: “#199”

[Spade]: “Oh! Mine’s #198, that means you gotta look for one of the Amori brothers too!”

[Killua]: “Eh? You know who they are?”

[Spade]: “Yeah! Say, wanna team up until we find our targets?”

[Killua]: “What a pain… *sigh* okay, fine… let’s find them quickly then”

–

We could both sense that someone was following us, probably the one who was hunting down Killua.

January 13th

OST: The Gatekeepers

Killua got tired of being chased so sloppily and threatened his hunter to come out, and it turns out it’s MY TARGET! And it’s along with his two brothers too, which means Killua’s target is there too. Lucky! We made quick work of the three brothers, and Killua also threw away the tag he thought we didn’t need… too bad he “accidentally” threw away the tag I needed instead, so I had to scramble and go fetch it before it literally became unfindable.

I have no idea if he did it on purpose… UGH. I still held onto #197’s tag because that was still one extra point.

I started chasing the number tag turned frisbee, until a shadow snatched it away. FUCK who took my target’s tag??

Chatlog:

– [Spade]: “Hanzo?!”

[Hanzo]: “Aah! Oh… it’s you- wait! Don’t come any closer…”

[Spade]: “Huh?”

[Hanzo]: “I know we’re friends, but that doesn’t mean I’ll lower my guard…”

[Spade]: “Oh! Dude no, you’re not my target… here, look. This is the card I picked outside of trick Tower”

[Hanzo]: “Number 198, huh? Alright… then what business do you have with me?”

[Spade]: “I was chasing the number tag you caught! It’s actually mine-”

[Hanzo]: “No way! This was my target’s tag, I’m sure of it! Look, it says… 198?! WHAT?!”

[Spade]: “I told you…”

[Hanzo]: “But- but then- that kid tricked me! Oh no… where could the tag be now?!”

[Spade]: “Uhm… What was your target’s number?”

[Hanzo]: “197…”

[Spade]: “Oh- well, that’s the tag Killua gave to me!”

[Hanzo]: “SERIOUSLY?! Did… he do that on purpose?”

[Spade]: “I dunno, maybe… I guess he wanted me off his back or something, haha”

[Hanzo]: “Sneaky kid… Do you think he noticed me too?”

[Spade]: “He might have- his perception is extremely good. Anyway uh… since we have each other’s tags, how about a trade?”

[Hanzo]: “Ah, sorry, I must decline, my code forbids me from accepting things from others. I can give you your tag, but… I can’t accept #197’s from you”

[Spade]: “Seriously? But then you’ll have to hunt down three other people-”

[Hanzo]: “Haha, that’s okay, I can handle it! Here’s tag #198 for now”

[Spade]: “T-thank you… oh, wait! I have an idea!”

[Hanzo]: “Huh?”

[Spade]: “Your code forbids you from accepting help, but you can take things with force, right? So how about a small game? If you can steal the tag from me, you’d be able to keep it, right?”

[Hanzo]: “That’s… actually a genius idea, Spade! Alright, I accept the challenge! But you’d better take it seriously, if you don’t… I’ll forfeit immediately.” –

We started sparring, and of course I played seriously. Hanzo may look like a happy-go-lucky guy, but when it comes to serious matters, he can be extremely stoic and calculative. I felt like we were similar in that sense.

After a bit he managed to take the tag from me, admitting he actually had to put in a little bit of effort to accomplish that. Hearing that made me kind of happy, but also had me wonder what Hanzo’s full power would be like.

Before I could ask him if he wanted to stick around, however, he was already gone, and I was alone once more, but at least I had all my six points!

January 14th

OST: Meimou

I felt a horrible bloodlust coming from the forest, so no way was I going there until that was gone. I already had my six points so I just wanted to stay out of trouble. I spent the rest of the day hunting for food outside of the forest.

January 15th

OST: Kijustushi no Baire

The bloodlust was finally gone from the forest, but I still decided to stay out of it, in the outskirts, thinking I’d be safer there… nope, ran straight into Hisoka, he was holding a man’s head- I was as good as dead!

Chatlog:

– [Hisoka]: “Spade… it’s been a while”

[Spade]: “H-Hisoka… heyyyy, nice head you got there!”

[Hisoka]: “Hmm isn’t it? It belonged to my target, that puts me to six points. So… how’s this phase been going for you?”

[Spade]: “I’m all good, got my six points too. Wait… if you have six points then- where’s your number tag? Did you take it off or something?”

[Hisoka]: “Oh… no, no… Gon took it from me~…”

[Spade]: “He- woah… but also- never say it like that again, please”

[Hisoka]: “Like what?”

[Spade]: “... Nevermind”

[Hisoka]: “More importantly… you said you also have your six points, didn’t you?”

[Spade]: “Yes, why? Oh…”

[Hisoka]: “Hm, yes… that fight we agreed on, you’re not going to break a promise, are you?”

[Spade]: “Don’t worry, I wouldn’t…”

[Hisoka]: “Good… because I’ve been eagerly waiting for this moment. Show me what you can really do… Spade” –

We started fighting, but he had more tricks up his sleeve, aside from his cards. I used Gyo on my eyes to see his aura and it had this weird rubbery consistency, oh great, a Transmuter.

It didn’t take long to understand that he totally outmatched me. Strength-wise and in Nen too. He was a master in his Hatsu, and I’d never really trained for something like that, sticking to the basics, because I couldn’t settle on a Hatsu that fit me. Nonetheless I held my ground, managing to punch him and kick him on multiple occasions, leaving bruises on his body.

It was a very silent fight, but I could tell he was studying me in some way, and soon enough, he managed to break my guard and started landing hit after hit.

The air was knocked out of my lungs. I recovered and tried to fight back, but he could now control my movements partially with his Bungee Gum, and everything became much more difficult. At that point it was clear I was still far from matching his strength level. He enjoyed beating me up for what was worth, and left me with deep cuts from his cards, a swollen face and a sore feeling all over my body.

Chatlog:

– [Hisoka]: “Hm… it seems like you still need to mature a little bit… before you can fully satisfy me”

[Spade]: “Ngh…”

[Hisoka]: “But don’t get me wrong… This fight wasn’t disappointing. I just can’t wait to see what abilities you’ll have in the future” –

After roughly patching myself up, I passed out for the rest of the day, but not before I could think about working on an ability; if I wanted to grow stronger, I’d have to do that.

[isimpfortoomanypeople]

I have a request. Steve Harrington x hargrove reader, billy and yn are twins,. They have a good relationship. Yn is on the track team and practice for basketball is later. Yn x Steve flirting and billy interrupting and death glaring or threatening Steve and then yn being the badass she is is like the fuck not and kisses steve in front of billy. Billy won't hurt yn and he knows if he punches Steve she would murder him.

Tag me plz if you do it

Hi, I love this request and I’m definitely down for Y/N being a badass. This is my first Steve fic and I’m honestly shocked that this didn’t happen sooner.

Stay the hell away from my sister- Steve Harrington x female Hargrove reader

A/N: I may have gotten what year that Billy joins Hawkins high wrong but I’m from the U.K. so American high school years confused me. Also I know this is a picture from Steve from season 4 but yellow is his colour. Apologises for all spelling and grammatical mistakes as I’m super dyslexic, enjoy.

Warnings: alcohol, Billy being extremely over protective (the reader and him are fraternal twins to suits all readers) and the reader and steve make out but it’s steamy so 18+

Part 2

Being the new kid was never easy, especially when you joined in your junior year. Meaning that everyone has formed their own cliques and groups ect. Which means that you’ll feel like an outcast for a while till you find your feet, just hoping that there was a track team so you could run off your anxiety.

In California you and your twin were almost masters at the athletic field, you took to track loving the feeling of the wind flowing through your hair, the fast rhythmic beats of your feet on the ground matching the beating of your heart. Running so fast that you could run away from all of your problems, watching as they grew small and faded into the horizon behind your body. Running felt freeing, if nothing else in life you had running and maybe being the new girl might be okay?

You lent against the cooling window of your brother’s car, allowing the cold glass to relieve your pounding tension headache.

“What’s wrong?”

“What?”

“Seriously Y/N, you keep on looking out of the window looking like shit. It’s fucking terrifying”

You scoffed and flipped your brother the bird, he smirked looking very amused by his insult, but hey what are siblings for if not to sometimes irritate the shit out of you?

“Look” you sighed fiddling with the cuffs of your sweater that had a vibrant green trims across the cuffs and the neckline. The way this town practically worshiped this high school was nauseating.

“I’m just nervous about starting a new school, we’re joining junior year, they’re all going to have their own friends by now and I’ll just be the weird new girl”

“You’ll be fine” Billy shrugged, placing his lit cigarette to his lips. He loved you dearly and you were the only family (well the only family that matters) he had left. Billy just has a hard time showing an ounce of sympathy, he was the sort of brother who would rather sort out what ever problem you had with his fists, so when you had issues that couldn’t be solved by knocking some asshole down he tried to say whatever sounded the most sympathetic in his mind, which mostly came off as awkward and a little cold. But you both had each other’s backs and the one who you could confine in.

“Easy for you to say” you muttered under your breath too quite for him to hear

Life is easy when you’re practically treated like royalty, Billy had a talent of automatically becoming popular no matter where he walked. It’s easy to achieve when you’re captain of the basketball team, when you’re conventionally attractive and all girls and boys will practically throw themselves down at your feet. That’s how it was in California, no doubt it’ll be the same in Hawkins too.

——————————————————————————-

High school was just about how you’d expect it to be, awkwardly standing at the front of the class while the teachers make some big announcement about you. Staring at the sea of eyes that was pinned upon you, you felt like you was under a microscope, as each pair of eyes focusing upon you making their own judgment about you before even asking you a single question. God you hated this!

You sat at the back of the classroom where the only free seat was available, just thankful that it wasn’t at the front of the class so you could also avoid all questions that the teacher would probably throw towards your direction, asking you about the previous education you had been receiving in California.

Slumping down in your desk, you open the text book the teacher gave you hoping that it would create a shield, protecting yourself from the pairs of eyes still glued upon you.

“We’re on page 34 by the way”

You lifted your face from being buried within the pages, to see a handsome boy with soft brunette hair smiling at you. There was something in the way that he smiled at you that set your heart a flame, he looked at you like he had never seen anyone as beautiful.

“Thanks”

“I’m Steve” he lifted his hand towards you

“Y/N” you smiled back at him, shaking his hand. Biting your cheek to stop the blush that was threatening to flood across the apples of your cheeks.

——————————————————————————

“Earth to Y/N!” Billy grumbled clicking his fingers in front of your face, bringing you out of your loving gaze towards the Harrington boy who sat one table away from you. God you were such an idiot, you barely even know him

“Sorry what were you saying?” You awkwardly chuckled moving the grey coloured mashed potatoes around your tray, providing cafeteria food in Hawkins was beyond edible.

“I was saying that Tina is hosting a party this Friday and we’re going” Billy responded , shooting death glares towards this ‘king’ Steve that he’s heard so fucking much about, enough to know that he is bad news. This Steve was a dick, well at least according to Billy, and he should stay the hell away from his baby sister (he was literally 10 minutes older than you). Steve caught one of these stares and quickly diverted his gaze to his lunch tray, Billy assumed that Steve got the message to stay away from you, but oh how wrong he was.

——————————————————————————

“Y/N wait” you turned your head to see that attractive brunette boy that you quickly developed a crush on. You let out a small squeal of joy as you saw him running up to you. Screw subtlety, you were too infatuated with him to care.

“Hey what’s up?”

“I wanted to ask if you and Billy were a thing?” He asked awkwardly, praying that the response would be “no” so then he could take you out on a date. But the way Billy was glaring at him earlier today made him doubtful.

You screwed your brows and tilted your head to the side, looking at him completely dumbfounded. Is he for real?

Seeing his smile twitching with nerves made you howl out in laughter, while he stood awkwardly confused at your sudden outburst. Did he say something wrong?

“Ewww, no me and Billy are not dating . He’s my twin brother” you spoke in between fits of laugher.

“Oh” his face turning into a deep scarlet hue over his own embarrassment, he rubbed the back of his arm as he avoided your gaze. “You two don’t look alike”

“That’s because we’re fraternal twins you idiot” you cried out with laughter still not over his mistake. He was an idiot but god was he a cute one, it was adorable seeing how red he was going and the way he bit his lip made you want to melt into a puddle on the floor.

“Well does that mean your free to go on a date with me this Wednesday?” He asked, his voice still a little shaky with the remainder of his embarrassment. God he was never going to live this one down.

“I would love to” you smirked, feeling your own cheeks heat up into a blush. You were trying your damned hardest to be flirtatious but you were failing miserably, as right now you were a giddy mess of a person.

“Great I’ll pick you up at 6” he smiled back, his eyes adoringly looking into yours. Steve must admit he loved seeing how much of an effect he had on you, it showed him that you felt the same way as he did, absolutely smitten.

“Harrington stay the fuck away from my sister!” You heard Billy’s growl echo throughout the corridor.

Billy looked like the definition of rage, he charged down the hall like an angered bull. You could practically see the steam coming out of his ears.

“Billy calm down” you rolled your eyes at your brother’s overprotective nature, this always happens and you were sick of it. Billy had a habit of chasing every boy you’ve ever had an interest in away, at this point you thought that you’d be single forever with the amount of guys he scared away. Yes it shows that he cares for you and only wants the best for you, but you’re in high school now and are old enough to make your own decisions.

“I’m not going to calm down! Harrington if you know what’s good for you, you’re going to stay the hell away from my sister” he aggressively spoke, his finger poking Steve’s chest making his point clear. He narrowed his eyes at Steve, watching as he shakily nodded his head. “Good!”

——————————————————————————

“What the hell was that!” You yelled as soon as you slammed the car door “why do you have to scare off every single guy who shows the slightest interest in me”

“Excuse me for being a good brother. Steve is an asshole-“

“No he isn’t, you barely know him-“

“Neither do you!” Billy yelled back. He glanced over towards your direction seeing your dejected look, turning your body away from him. He swallowed down his remaining anger, he didn’t want this to end in a screaming match for he did care about you. “Look I’m just looking out for you okay?”

You huffed in response not even caring to look at him. You gave him the silent treatment for the remainder of the journey, god you hated him at times

——————————————————————————-

You huffed collapsing on your mattress, your body weight melting into the soft springy fabric below. If you could scream you would, releasing all the pent up anger which had been brewing for days. Billy hovered over you at every moment he could, acting as if he was your own shadow, which resulted in Steve staying the far away from you.

Every time you aired your frustrations to Billy about his aggravating behaviour he just pushed you off, saying that this is what all good brothers do. And Steve and Billy were nauseating to watch as they had this idiotic tendency to out do each other, the clash of wounded masculinities was irritating to observe. Don’t even start about their pathetic little scuff they had on the basketball court, how childish could they be? You felt like an object rather than a human after seeing the way those two fought over you.

If it wasn’t for your irritating brother you could of been on a date tonight, but no Billy had to intervene and stick his nose where it wasn’t wanted. You were brought out of your thoughts by a gentle tapping at your window

You turned to see no other than Steve Harrington, the only one who you wished to see tonight. Turns out that your prayers have been answered

“Are you crazy? What are you doing here?” You giggled opening the window

“We had a date planned, I would never stood you up darling” he grinned, carefully climbing through the opened window, trying not to make too much noise or to drop the pizza box that was balancing on his arm.

“This isn’t what I had planned, I was going to take you to this nice restaurant before we went to the movies. But I suppose pizza will do” he placed himself on your bed, opening the cardboard box.

“I thought that you weren’t coming”

“Are you serious? There was no way I wasn’t coming tonight-“

“But Billy will kill you if he catches us-“

“And so what if he does, you’re worth dying for” he flirted giving you a wink, silently chuckling to himself as he saw your face glow red. God he was infatuated with you, he never thought he could have ever met anyone as beautiful as you. It was as if the gods handcrafted yourself for him. Steve never did believe in love at first sight but the moment he saw you walk through the classroom door, his heart skipped a beat making him believe that the cringey saying was true.

“So tell me about California?” He smiled leaning on his arms, his body angled closer towards yours. The empty pizza box laid at the bottom of your bed, while your bodies laid so close that they almost intertwined.

“It’s beautiful, I miss it already. They had crystal clear waters where my mom used to teach us how to surf, honestly nothing could be better than feeling the sun warming your skin surfing on these high cool ocean waves”

Steve leant closer into you that your faces were merely inches away from each other. Steve was addicted to your voice, the way that you spoke each word sounded heavenly like the greatest symphony known to man. He loved how your face lit up as you spoke about the good times, like you painted the perfect picture and he was transported to California with you.

You felt his breath fanning your face, you cupped his cheeks bringing his lips upon yours. It was sweet and gentle to begin with, but the hunger you felt for him was too great to be ignored. You picked up the pace as your lips fought for dominance against his. He held you closer to him as his tongue explored your mouth. His hands made their way up your shirt, moaning as his cold hands roamed your body.

—————————————————————————-

You threw back whatever was in that shot that Billy handed you, you could of sworn it was gasoline with its bitter acrid taste. Billy left you all alone in the kitchen as he was rushed off to prove his masculinity in some stupid game which involves drinking a whole keg of beer. Sometimes you questioned the maturity of your classmates.

“Hey darling”

You jumped as you felt a pair of hands snake their way across your waist. You jumped over the sudden voice down your ear and the unexpected contact.

“Jesus Steve! Don’t do that, you could of given me a heart attack” you scolded him, lightly slapping his arm. Taking a deep breath to slower your racing heart.

“Sorry darling, it’s just that you look so good tonight I couldn’t keep my hands off you” he smirked as his eyes scanned over your body. You truly were the most beautiful girl he had ever seen.

You shuddered as you felt his lips kissing your neck, leaning back into his embrace to allow his lips more access to the area of skin. You closed your eyes melting away into this blissful lustful state you were in, allowing the outside world to slip away-

“Steve!”

You snapped open your eyes to see Billy glaring furiously into Steve’s eyes, you could see his nostrils flaring, he looked like he was going to combust into flames at any moment.

You were pushed out of Steve’s arms as Steve was pinned to the wall by your brother. He held the collar of Steve’s shirt with a vice like grip forcing him to look at Billy dead in the eyes.

“I told you to stay away from her!”

“Let him go!” You screamed at Billy, he was in a state of shock upon hearing your voice booming across the empty kitchen walls, that he let Steve go.

You walked up to Steve who looked disheveled and also in shock both from Billy anger but also from you sticking up for him.

You put both boys in an utter state of shock by crashing your lips upon Steve’s, his lips moved against yours returning the feverish kiss.

When you broke apart you saw Billy’s eyes wide with shock, still unable to process what the fuck just happened.

“If you dare to lay a finger upon Steve again, I will kill you myself is that understood?”

Billy quickly nodded his head which was still hazy in disbelief and also the beer which was starting to come into effect. He knows you and knows that you most probably will act upon that threat. Maybe he was being a little too overprotective?, he was your brother and he loved you deeply, even if he may never like Steve he’ll begrudgingly put up with him for your sake.

“Good, now Steve I think that you owe me a dance”

A/N: thank you so much again for this request I loved writing it, I hope that you enjoyed it as much as I did. Requests are still open

The Family You Find

This is a fill for today’s  @flashfictionfridayofficial prompt [#FFF216 Found Family]  as well as my @allcapsbingo   Canon-Adjacent square.

Fandom:  MCU/Marvel Rating: General Pairing:  Bucky Barnes & Ayo Tags:  Post Captain America: Civil War,  Friendship, Found Family, Recovering Bucky Barnes  Word Count:  487 

Bucky’s nerves were kicking up a little as they flew away from the Golden City into the Wakandan countryside.  He’d only been back out of cryo for a week or so and he was still dealing with some of the after effects of the procedures that - he hoped - had freed him from Hydra’s grip forever.    Shuri and her team had been kind enough during the process,  but it was clear they thought of him more as a puzzle to solve than anything else. 

He’d asked after Steve - only to learn the stubborn punk had headed to the Raft to break out their allies pretty much the moment Bucky had gone into cryo.  Things had apparently worked out - thanks to some unofficial assistance from the Wakandan War Dogs - but  Steve, Sam and the others were now on the run, so who knew when he’d get to see them again.  

In the meanwhile, one of the Dora Milaje had befriended Bucky.  Ayo was a lieutenant in the king’s royal guard, and he assumed at first that she would be more or less another handler.   But instead, a form of camaraderie developed between them. “You know,” she said as they wandered through the royal gardens “I’ve always wanted a little brother.” 

He snorted,   “I’m old enough to be your grandfather.  Maybe great-grandfather, even.” 

“That is true, but your body is young. And your heart and spirit, perhaps they can return to a more youthful state as well.”  Ayo sat on a bench,  and patted the seat next to her.  

“Tell me more about who Bucky Barnes was.  And who you would like him to be.”

Bucky found himself spilling out his life story in fits and starts over the next few hours.  When Ayo learned that he’d visited his grandparents’ farm as a child and had enjoyed helping take care of the animals, she got a thoughtful look on her face.  “Is that something you would want to do again?” 

Bucky gave her a lop-sided shrug.  “Maybe?”   Shuri had offered to make him a new arm, but he’d declined; better to face the world as the man he now was. 

“I have an idea.  Let me talk to a few of my people.”  

Two days later,  the two of them were travelling to a remote corner of the Kingdom.   “There is much for you to learn out here,” Ayo said as she showed him the small hut he would be calling home, “but I believe the work will give you time to discover who you are.” She clasped his shoulder.   “I will return in a few weeks for the test.  To prove once and for all that Hydra no longer has a hold on you.” 

“Thank you, usisi omdala.”  Bucky had been picking up the Xhosa language little by little and had probably mangled the pronunciation, but the smile on Ayo’s face at being called ‘older sister’ was worth it.  

[vivianquill]

OOOOOH i love that actually.. ofc doc would start an unusual but very helpful settlement this makes a lot of sense considering well.. everything about him..

ohohoho more asks you say? more asks? well from a totally non biased perspective... i'd love to hear about tango's pod! that is etho and bdubs.. are they close? are they more friends out of convenience? where are the others now, while tango is with the rest of zits?

(also i shouldve known my typing style would give me away dangit!! well you will probably figure out who i am anyway but for now you may choose whichever anon name u like!)

Who are you????? Now I'm invested in trying to figure out who you actually are. Don't give me a mystery unless you want me to solve it. The only problem is, I know more than one person with this sort of typing style 3:<

Also you should not have given me this much power over ur anon name. I think I will call u Kimi for now. if you can guess what that name means without looking it up, you get bonus points.

Oh. and on to the question.

Etho and Bdubs are incredibly close to each other. They have been friends since they were teens and in that pod with NHO & co. Bdubs grew up in a typical family pod, until he and his brother Pungence set off on their own and formed said NHO pod. Etho joined the NHO pod along with the rest of team canada, and Doc came in after that. Etho doesn't talk about his life before he met team canada, and neither Beef nor Pause know how Etho managed to get the scar across his face.

After the NHO pod split up, Etho and Bdubs stuck together because of how close they'd grown during their time together. In reality, Etho decided to leave one day and Bdubs caught him and decided to tag along. After a while of the two traveling together, they came across Tango, who'd been traveling alone, and for convenience they decided to stick together. After a while the trio became close friends and now roam the seas together.

Bdubs and Etho were tossed about by the storm, and had gotten separated, but not as far away as Tango. The three of them had set Doc's settlement as a meeting place if they ever did get lost or forced apart for whatever reason, at least in this area of the ocean. They do have other places too, and most of them are landmarks they tend to visit anyway on their travels, so the plan is always to go to the nearest one. In this case, the hivemind. So the two reconvened there after roughly a week of being apart, with Etho getting there first, as Etho is the fastest of them.

They have a suspicion that something went wrong when more than two weeks pass after Bdubs shows up and Tango is still nowhere to be found. But at the moment they have no idea what they would even think to do to try and find him.

Notes:

1. Citron writes “ぎゅーどん!” (gyuudon), which was most likely supposed to mean something like “cuteness overload,” but in reality means “beef bowl!” So I went with a food that kind of sounded like “so cute”

2. Inari is a popular figure in both Shinto and Buddhist beliefs. Their messengers are foxes, and there’s a popular belief that Inari herself can turn into a fox, but these foxes are usually white.

3. Citron uses the wrong kanji for Sendai. This also happens for Niigata and his own name.

4. It looks like the correct way to eat tebasaki is to twist them in half and then use your teeth to slide the meat right off the bone.  It does seem pretty tough if you’re not used to it!

5. Instead of 手羽先 (tebasaki), Citron writes 出っ歯先 (deppa saki), with the kanji for “bucktooth”

6. The “to want” verb ending in Japanese is “たい” (tai).  Citron replaces it with 鯛 (tai), which means “sea bream.” He does this a few times throughout his posts.

7. Citron is imitating the Kansai dialect here.

8. It doesn’t actually say “classic” anywhere, but it’s sort of implied and it doesn’t really make sense without it

9. I feel like I kind of have to explain this one lol - イタリアン (Italian) is actually a yakisoba dish. It combines yakisoba with Italian-style meat sauce.

10. He writes 闇, which usually means “darkness,” but if he got the kanji right he probably meant it in terms of “black market”

11. Citron says きばばり (kibabari, which means nothing as far as I can tell) when he may have meant 気晴らし (kibarashi, pastime), so with that in mind I made the first half correct and threw in a random word that rhymed with time for the second half lol

12. A Kyushu Man (九州男児, kyuushuu danji) is sort of a “classic ideal man.” There are positive and negative aspects to this archetype, but Citron’s most likely referring to the image of a brave man with a strong sense of justice (etc.)

13. Lots of yatai have names that end in -chan. I’m honestly not sure if Citron’s making a mistake here or not, but he has the right idea at least.

[the-marron]

one line any fic! rules: pick ten of your fics, scroll to somewhere midpoint, pick a line chunk and share it, and then tag ten people.

I wqas tagged by @forerussake - thank you!!! 🥰🥰🥰 ehhh, picking ten favourite children is haaaard. I went overboard this year and the total of my fics right now is... 113, so I decided to limit myself to the current fandom, hope that’s okay? 😅

1. When I Make an Oath to the Flames, (Guardian, Weilan, Angst)      

Where Ye Zun thought himself to be an outsider in this strange relationship, Shen Ye would be an integral part of it and it makes all the difference. He wonders how does a fully happy Shen Wei look? With no evil brother trying to destroy the world and with his love by his side, what kind of person will Shen Wei be? How will he grow, how will he change? Will his smile get even warmer, will he smile more?

2. Jia Jia and The Guardian Lantern (Guardian, Weilan, Post-Canon Happy ending)

“I think I know what happened.” He whispers conspirationally and Xie Jin stops himself from groaning. The kid is rather observant, true, but his imagination hinders him from achieving greatness, that and his partiality to drama.

“With the Guardian?” Jia Jia prompts, not looking up from her cup of instant noodles.

“Yes! I think he lit up Dixing because he was in love with a Dixingren!”

“Sources?” Jia Jia and Xie Jin say simultaneously and grin at each other over their respective cups.

3. When I walk past the mountain peak, it doesn’t speak  (Guardian, Weilan, Post-canon Happy Ending)

In the pool, Zhao Yunlan’s life flickers out and the Lantern is lit, glowing faintly.

Nothing’s changed.

Shen Wei has failed again.

Kunlun doesn’t even look at him.

“Let me try again.”

4.  Come my love be one with the sea  ( Guardian, Weilan & ChuGuo, POTC!au)

“I’m Guo Changcheng, a crewmember at The Lord Guardian!” he says and doesn’t quite manage to keep the pride out of his voice. Which is strange, because his last memory of his crewmates is Captain Zhao throwing him into the sea.

When he glances at Hei Pao Shi, he shudders. There is a strange intensity in the man’s gaze, as if the mere name of the ship had some effect on him. Considering the fact that Chu Shuzhi knew the name of their captain, maybe Hei Pao Shi and Captain Zhao are sworn enemies? Oh no, will Changcheng be tortured after all?

5.  It's falsehood's flame, it's a crying shame  (Weilan Derivs, Luolin, Mafia!au)

He gets the name a few weeks later, when Chen Moqun summons him to the office and orders Lin Nansheng to pick up a file from Sullivan’s Apartments in the French Concession.

“If he is not there, just wait for him. Or ask the landlady about Luo Fei. We agreed on the pick up today but he is rather unreliable when it comes to time,” Chen Moqun says and at first, Lin Nansheng does not connect the new name to the figure of the handsome man from the party.

6. The man you seek is long gone (Weilan Derivs, Luolin,  Post-canon fix-it)

Lup Fei remains tense, not looking at Nansheng at all.

“I am not a miracle worker. I solve cases, find lost people. I am not a bodyguard for hire,” he finally replies and turns towards Lin Nansheng. For the first time since he’s met the detective, he sees distrust on his face.

It hurts rather unexpectedly.

7. I Count the Hours Without You (Guardian, Weilan, Post-canon)

“Welcome! What are you looking for?” the man behind the counter asks, and Shen Wei wonders. Though initially he thought he needs nothing from the shop, something made him come inside.  Shen Wei’s subconscious came here looking for something. He just has no idea what. None of the products displayed catch his interest quite like the man in front of him. 

8. The Story's Unwinding , written with @dobranocka (Guardian, Weilan, The Mummy!au)

The notable exception to the ‘keep Shen Wei away from the competition’ rule was Li Qian, but judging how much time she was spending at their camp and how valuable the info she provided on Zhu Jiu’s team was, she could hardly be counted as the member of Zhu Jiu’s team anymore. From what Shen Wei had told him, she used to be his undergrad, or something, and her opinion of Zhu Jiu was rather low so Zhao Yunlan was ready to adopt her, if that was Shen Wei’s wish.

Zhao Yunlan was ready to do many things just for Shen Wei, it seemed.

9. The Thousand Flowers Manor (Weilan Derivs, Pei Wende/Hua wuxie & Qi Heng/Xun Xu, Pride and Prejudice and zombies!au)

“I think Master Xun can make this decision on his own, wouldn’t you agree, Master Pei? If my cousin’s company pleases him…” he trailed off, but right as he said it he realised that this was precisely what the demon-hunter expected to hear.

“I have no doubt that he finds some pleasure in this mansion, I am simply wondering if it’s wise for him to indulge in it for so long.” It was hard not to miss this arrogant man’s meaning and Hua Wuxie could feel his blood boiling at the insinuation.

10. Irremovable Spell (Guardian, Weilan, Howl’s Moving Castle!au)

“What is the purpose of the fungus floating in the cup of tea but the bed, then?” That made Kunlun pause. He was sure Shen Wei couldn’t see his bed that clearly, but at the same time, he couldn’t, with all certainty, claim that there was no cup of tea with a new lifeform cheerfully existing there, because… well, there might be. It’s been known to happen in the past.

”His name is Junjun and he’s an important magical experiment?” Kunlun tried, but the doubtful, full of reproach gaze Shen Wei sent his way, convinced him that the battle was lost.

This was hard to pick, but i enjoyed walking through these fics, writing them was a good experience ❤ especially the ones written with Ascel (there are two more, not here) - writing in a team is so much fun!

Final Update (I'm Sorry)

So if you forgotten who I was, I'm JustDakota and this Tumblr used to be a place where I updated people about progress on my upcoming show, Brawling Objects. It's basically any other competition object show but with more aspects from Total Drama.

I got two of my friends to work on the show (both being voice actors and one being a script writer) and I made a script for the first part of the pilot. What could go wrong? Well, one thing...

The script writing. Although I finished the script, it was merely the first part, so I continued to the write the second part and I scrapped the script entirely. I don't know why but after that I made another script, but scrapped it. Another script, scrapped it. And it became a whole cycle where I made one script, but felt like it didn't feel right so I scrapped it.

This was mostly due to how some characters felt like sterotypes to me and not three dimensional characters like how I wanted. I recently made another script where I was getting somewhere and thought that it was pretty good. Then, the script was never worked on again and just today I decided to cancel the whole project entirely.

I wished to make this show so many times but I couldn't and I know I can't finish it due to my entire of obsession of trying to fix the mistakes and make it perfect. I'm sorry to people who actually looked forward to the project but I'm sorry but I don't want to work on something that will essentially drive me insane and make me stuck on something that I can't solve or fix.

Now, that doesn't mean the characters of Brawling Objects will be abandoned. I want to at least do something with them but I don't think it can be related to a competition show like this. Before I go, I want to at least give out the idea that I considered during the script writing of the show.

The characters, like mentioned before, had the biggest problem. I changed some of their personality just so that the characters were indiviual in their own ways. Besides the host, Microphone, who was going to always be the narcassistic host intended to be, the characters' personality changed so much that some of them are lost now. But the final ones that were going to be used were:

Apple as the Countrygirl

Baggy as the Bossybot

Candy Corn as the Desperate

Cookie as the Creeper

Diamond as the Princess

Drumstick as the Underdog

Football as the Athelete

Grassy as the Hippie

Gumball Machine as the Airhead

Lightbulb as the Brainiac

Lollipop as the Big-Brother

Marshmallow as the Secretive

Packie (formerly Box) as the Schemer

Pizza as the Manipulator

and Strawberry as the Partier

The location of Brawling Objects was going to be Fisher-Bay island, the base island that had a cafeteria, cabins, etc. It was next to another island which was going to be used for challenges that the contestants were going to compete in. The prize was going to be left a mystery but I decided to reveal it (being the Argyle Phoenix Diamond).

The pilot's challenge was originally going to be climbing, either a cliff or a rock climbing tower. I was considering changing it, probably to laser tag, because I felt it was way too simple and overused. So I did change it to instead a maze. The first concept was that the contestants have to find the center in order to be team captains. It was changed to finding buttons in order to become a team leader. (NOTE: the idea of teams was originally going to be generated beforehand instead of being a challenge).

The pilot was changed a lot due to character interraction. First it was set on an airplane flying towards the island where at some point, the contestant would be forced to use parachutes in order to get down. It was changed to a jumpcut of the contestants already at Fisher-Bay island. Finally, it was changed to a cruise ship where the contestants will safely arrived at the island. Afterwards, Microphone introduces herself and gives the audience the gamerules (fairly simple and common). This point also changed severly, either before or after the contestants get on the island.

Blah blah blah, challenge, and the end of the episode (or an elimination). There were also some plot points I considered for the show. Of course, Pizza would be the manpulator and control Marshmallow for her own benefeits. And during the point where Lollipop's personality was going to be a comedian, Drumstick was going to be envious of him as Drumstick's dream was to be a comedian but all of his jokes flopped badly while Lollipop's didn't.

Microphone also had her own arc where she would learn to not be selfish after being replaced by Drummy (my persona). Apple was going to be evil and try to rob the show of the prize, referring to the phrase of being a bad apple. Gumball Machine was going to have their own arc where they stand up for themselves after everyone picks on/looks down upon them. Strawberry was also set to be eliminated as I thought she is the most disposable out of everyone.

That's mostly all I have about what was left for the show. Thank you for supporting and helping me out on this journey. Hope you have a good day and have a happy new year!

*yelling at myself* JUST BECAUSE YOU’RE MENTALLY ILL DOESN’T MEAN YOU HAVE TO PROJECT IT ONTO YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTER

Also me: hehe Autism Shephard (It’s bad looking but does that really matter?)

This guy has become my vessel for projection.. somehow, I find it funny that I chose the US Marine out of all the characters. But now I just.. I love em.

Oh yeah Obligatory Yippee

My #1 post of 2022

My pokemon phase won’t end

I’ve thought of like, other things that could be shown in sort of the style Legends Arceus is? Showing the region’s past. So here’s a list of ideas! I know the first one’s a bit weird cuz 70-90′s isn’t “ancient” at all but.. I want it and it’d be showing the past so I’m still putting it here

Kanto in the 70's, 80's, or 90's, whenever Team Rocket was formed. Maybe more stuff on that unconfirmed war?

Ancient Johto, like.. the century the tower burned? Plus it could hook in with Legends Arceus with the canonical connections of Sinnoh and Johto with “Sinjoh”. Oh also that Dragon Tamer Clan, that could be important!

Alola's first settlement, it has the vibe of possibly being an isolated group of islands for a long time until finally some people found it so.. could be cool!

Galar the darkest day < this is just an epic title tbh

The age of war in Kalos before the ultimate weapon

The conflict between brothers in Unova, solve the mystery of what Zekrom, Reshiram and Kyruum originally were? :0

The birth of Hoenn, maybe something to do with the Draconid tribe. Tbh I didn’t play OR/AS but I read the OR/AS manga so I do not know a lot about them.

These are just little ideas I have, I’d like to talk about them :D

11 months ago.

DEA New York Division.

“I said no Frank! So if you’re here to insist on that stupid plan you better go back to Smith.”

Your voice filled the room as soon as Frank closed the door of your office behind him. His hands in the pockets of his jeans would often let you know that asking you what he was about to ask wasn't his idea.

Frank Castle was always so transparent.

He was a six foot one, two hundred pound puppy dog at your will, and you rolled your eyes at the way you too could see why there were rumors in the organization of you two dating.

“Come on doll, just think about it.”

“Are you kidding? I don’t even have to think about it, I’ve done it a million times before!”

You were tired of the same old thing.

It hadn’t been more than six months since you transferred to New York from California. Six years of working for the Drug Enforcement Administration gave you certain credentials no one could take from you.

The slut shaming came with it, but hey, so did the paycheck.

Operations in South America were always standard. Take your clothes off, get them drunk, eavesdrop. And even if deep down you wished you could be the voice in your ear piece telling you what to do instead of doing it, you weren’t complaining.

Were you proud of the way you had seduced powerful men to gather information?

No.

Did the fact that those criminals had only been put behind bars because of you make you feel stronger?

Yes.

But coming to New York would be different, you thought. They said they needed your intel. They said you’d be valuable for their team.

Well they lied.

That morning in a meeting with the board you had discovered they didn’t want your advise or your experience on how to catch a bad guy, they wanted you to do it for them.

“They told me I would come here and help with intel, they didn’t tell me I had to sleep with Russo.”

“Well, it’s worked before and I-“

He stopped himself when he felt your eyes burning into him.

You and Frank had met as soon as you got to the city. You had to work together in a couple of small cases and became best friends on the way. It was like a game to you two. Whoever solves less cases gets coffee tomorrow type of game.

The chemistry that everybody else saw in you two was definitely there, but in a brother and sister kind of way.

Frank was the scary looking man with insanely survival skills and the personality of a cinnamon roll and you were cute and sweet on the outside, you could make even the meanest criminal trust you.

You were the DEA’s dream team.

“I just mean that you’ve done it before so it’s only logical you’re the best for the case. I understand it’s beneath you but it’s for the greater good.”

“I’m not upset I have to fuck Billy Russo.”

You said casually and then smiled at the way Frank’s eyes got wide at your profanity.

“Don’t look at me like that! I’m sure you’ve seen the pictures in the Italian suits.”

“You mean the pictures of the psychopathic murderous man in the Italian suits?”

“What I mean is, wearing crotch less panties and sleeping with a criminal isn’t the problem. I just wished they would have told me that’s why I was here for, instead of making me believe I would finally be going to the big leagues.”

“Who said anything about crotchless panties?”

You rolled your eyes at your friend and you both laughed.

Truth be told no one had been more against the decision of your superiors than Frank was. He knew you had done operations like that back in California, but this time they wanted you to go to Billy Russo alone.

It was suicidal.

“I’m not an idiot Frank. I’ve know the way men see me in this office. I’m sadly aware I’ve come this far because of my looks.”

“Well I think your achievements are greater.”

“Greater than this ass?”

You joke at the situation, because what else could you do? Frank laughs too and you loosen up.

“You know they sent me to convince you.”

You nod annoyed.

“You know they told me I was the only one that could make you come back to your senses. Smith even winked at me! I think they expect us to have sex on you desk or something.”

You both made a disgusted face and laughed again.

“It won’t work Frank, the operation I mean, even if I do my sluttiest attempts, I don’t think I could get William Russo to confess anything.”

“I think it will.”

“Sure you do, cause you’re not the one that has to fuck him. Like, exactly how good in bed does this organization think I am?”

“That’s not what I meant. I think it will work because I’m coming to Texas with you.”

You felt your eyes grow and couldn’t help a smile on your lips.

“I talked to Smith, we have to work on a story and they’re giving us Al from IT. But you’re not going alone.”

We’re you still mad?

Yes.

Where you relieved the killing machine that Frank Castle was would come with you?

Absolutely.

“Come on let’s meet with Smith and you gotta show me those crotchless panties later.”

***

“Mr. Russo, Miss Karen wants to see you.”

Billy rolled his eyes, his hand still holding the phone to his ear while on a work call, he made a sign to his foreman indicating him he denied the request and then another that commanded him to leave as he continued to speak.

“I better be seeing that shipment here tomorrow morning.”

“Sir? I’m sorry but Miss Karen-“ the foreman insisted.

“What the fuck do you want Joe?”

The loud voice filled the cherry wood office as the man took a step back frightened. Billy hung up the phone unbothered by the man talking on the line.

“It’s Miss Karen-“

“Tell my sister I’m busy. I don’t have time for her right now.”

His voice was still loud and inconvenienced.

“Why don't you tell me so yourself?”

The sweet voice was followed by the presence of the blonde woman entering his office. Billy offered her a sarcastic grin when he saw her sit in one of the leather chairs in front of his desk.

Karen Page was Billy’s half sister.

Both raised in the system and sharing the same mother, Billy had done whatever it took to get his sister out of the hell they lived in right when he turned eighteen. Even if that meant crime.

With time and the right choices Billy became an important man with a single soft spot. He wanted her to have a future, a career, a life, and so he had one rule, whatever happened, Karen stayed out of trouble.

But his sister was smart and beautiful and Billy had done nothing but spoil her rotten all of those years, so it was only natural that she had figured out a way to wrap her brother around her finger.

Usually by throwing tantrums and spending his money.

“Please leave us Joe.”

Billy’s voice came out frustrated and annoyed, he only continued once his foreman had left the room, closing the doors behind him.

“What is it now Karen? Can’t you see I’m working?”

“We need to talk.”

“Fine, but make it quick, I have a lot of work to do.”

Billy looked into her bright blue eyes and knew she hadn’t come to ask for shopping money or a new car. She smiled innocently the way she did when something big was coming.

“I want to go back to Boston.”
