—✧ tagging: @woonieiv @youreverydayzebra @witheeseung @w3bqrl

—✧ synopsis: the both of you don’t realize what you had until it’s gone. your relationship was beautiful, like a rose, until it eventually withered and died. things didn’t go well like they always did when your love story first started out. with the process of healing your wounds and readying yourselves to love again, you found yourselves opening them once more when jay hands you an invitation to his upcoming wedding. link to part 2

—✧ words: 2,775

—✧ a/n: i decided to write this fic for jay since i haven’t written one for him. hope this at least reached your expectations to the requester. this fic related to the song with someone having a turning point in the healing process of letting go of an s/o you once loved dearly.

══════*.·:·.✧ ✦ ✧.·:·.*══════

“i’m sorry. i’m choosing myself this time and you should do the same too.” those were the last words you said to jay before you left him alone in his bedroom.

he wanted to stop you, cage you in his arms that you once called your comfort place. he was your home... yet he also knew how to let go when needed. he couldn’t force you to stay for his own selfishness, because he also had things that only he himself can fix.

you didn’t want your relationship to be just the two of you being each others’ broken pieces. that wasn’t fair, that’s not what love was. you wanted to love jay freely, when you can finally break free from the shackles of pain that was holding you back from doing so.

that’s why you let go. so that the two of you can work on yourselves and maybe... just maybe, you guys would find each other once again, fate doing its work, and love once more. this time, with no restrictions and just the two of you being madly in love.

“i’ll wait.” you heard him say making you stop on your tracks. “i’ll wait, for as long as it takes, even if you take all the time in the world to fix yourself, i’ll always be here waiting. for you. because i love you, y/n. so much it hurts. and that’s why i’m not going to stop you, okay? you know yourself better than anyone, my strong girl.”

you nodded, his words convincing you but a part of you was telling you that there was a possibility he wouldn’t be there for you anymore once you’re healed and you weren’t going to be shocked if that happened. he’ll end up being exhausted waiting for you. even if that’s the case, you couldn’t blame him. you really did just make everyone around you grow tired of you, so you weren’t going to be surprised if jay ended up feeling that way too.

yet you hoped that wouldn’t happen, because really, you loved him too. and leaving him for yourself was a selfish move, but you had to.

soon, it’ll be the two of us... but for now, i have to be selfish. you thought before finally walking away, the sound of your ex boyfriend holding his sobs bringing a pang to your heart.

࿐ ࿔*:･ﾟ

five years. that’s how long you were away.

time flew quick, like the wind that had you growing goosebumps on your skin. you looked up to see the sky starting to turn dark, clouds covering the once blue sky, the sun wasn’t shining anymore.

you forgot to bring an umbrella and you were sure it was going to rain any moment. sighing, you continued walking over to your house, clutching your jacket close to you.

you managed to seek for help all these years. even though you were so broken, you finally felt okay, more than okay. though there were times memories from the past still haunted you, it wasn’t as worse as before and you were now capable of controlling your thoughts and how you felt. when you were sure you were ready to go back home, you did.

it had been almost a week ago when you got back to your hometown, you didn’t plan on seeing anyone just yet. your sudden departure years ago probably scared your friends, you wondered if they had been looking for you all these years, not knowing how many times they tried to contact you because you changed the number on your phone. except for sunoo, he was the only friend you kept in contact with all along.

still one person stays on your mind and heart even though how many years had passed.

jay.

was he still waiting? was he praying to the gods above that you’d come back to him when you were finally stable? was he able to put himself first too and fix himself? was he... doing alright?

flashbacks of when you were together played in your mind and you found yourself smiling, you were ready to love jay again. with all your wounds healed, you weren’t scared anymore. you felt free, for the first time in your life, you were so sure about what you were feeling.

“y/n.”

that voice. you stopped walking, holding onto your jacket tighter than before. you were too occupied with your thoughts to notice that the rain started to pour, that voice snapping you back to reality. thankfully, it was just a little drizzle.

looking up, your eyes caught onto the figure that stood a few steps away from you. your breath hitched, seeing jay stand in front of you. it had been so long, so long since you’ve seen him.

he looked way different from when you’d seen him last. he looked more mature-looking, more handsome too, not the same jay in your youth that you were hopelessly in love with, that didn’t stop you from still loving him today though. this was the jay you wanted to spend the rest of your lifetime with, all healed and capable of loving again, like you.

“jay...” his name coming out of your lips was a bittersweet feeling, it felt nostalgic. oh you missed him so much, you wanted to run to him and hug him as tight as you could, letting him know that you were here now, you were okay.

but something stopped you from doing so, the way he was looking at you, you couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong.

jay smiled, “you’re back after so long. have you been doing okay?” he walked a few steps towards you, your heart beating faster than before.

“better than okay, actually.” you replied, smiling back at him, “all these years, i finally got the peace and happiness that i’ve always desired. it feels refreshing.”

he nodded, jay was about to say something more but he stopped himself, releasing a deep breath instead. you cocked your head to the side in confusion, wanting to ask him what else he wanted to say but you decided to keep quiet.

“sunoo told me you were back, you arrived just in time.” jay started and you smiled at his enthusiasm, “i... wanted to give you something. since you’re back and i wouldn’t want you to miss it for the world, we are friends after all.”

your mouth went agape at his words and it felt like the world around you stopped for a moment. friends? what on earth was he talking about? did something happen?

maybe he doesn’t want things to be weird between us, we basically just met after all these years. you thought, ignoring the pang in your heart that was telling you what you didn’t want to hear right now.

jay still loves you. of course he does, he said he’d wait, right?

“right..” you managed to reply, nodding a bit too fast at his statement. “so what did you want to give me, then?”

jay took out a fancy folded envelope from his pocket, handing it over to you. you look up at him, he gestures for you to take it in which you did. your hands fumble with it for a while, admiring how pretty it looked.

you opened the envelope carefully, with jay watching your every move. you felt conscious all of a sudden, quickly brushing how you nervous you felt under his stare and reading the text printed on the piece of paper.

you are invited to jay and aelin’s wedding!

it took you a minute to process the words you just read. you suddenly had the urge to run, far away from him. but you couldn’t, your feet stayed glued to the ground and your eyes stared at the paper, you didn’t want to believe it.

“you’re... getting m-married?” you mentally cursed at yourself for stuttering. not having the courage to look him straight in the eyes, you continued to blankly stare at the invitation. you feared that if you looked at him, he’d see right through you.

he hummed in reply, and for a second you thought that he was holding himself back from explaining everything to you. what happened all these years? you believed he waited for you, that he was going to wait for you no matter how long it takes, yet the invitation you were holding right now was telling you otherwise.

“y/n, i want you to be there.” jay stated, you could hear how serious he was judging by his tone.

you wanted to be mad, you wanted to scream at him, but you couldn’t. how could you be? you should’ve seen this coming, you took too long, he wasn’t going to wait for someone that left him first, someone who left him to put herself first before anything else.

looking up at him, you noticed jay’s eyes widen in shock when he sees how glassy your eyes are. “y/n, are you-“

“did you wait for me?” you asked him, “please jay, answer me and be honest. were you waiting for me?”

jay quickly understood what he meant, fixing his posture before answering, “i did. i waited for as long as i could, until i couldn’t anymore.”

“how long was it until you decided not to anymore?” his answer was going to hurt you more than you know, you still wanted to know anyway. wanting to understand why things didn’t end up the way you wanted to for the both of you.

“y/n...”

“jay answer me, i just want to understand why.” you begged, his face softening when he hears how desperate you were. he couldn’t blame you, he did say he was going to wait.

“three years.”

two years before you decided to go back. if you had gone home two years earlier, would everything turn out different? would jay welcome you back with open arms? but you still weren’t mentally stable two years ago.

time was so cruel.

the rain started to pour more heavily and you knew that was your cue to leave. you couldn’t take it anymore, you had to go.

you nodded, looking over at the invitation once more before neatly folding it back, “i’m sorry. i can’t do this, jay. i can’t go, but congratulations on the engagement. i wish you the best.”

pushing the invitation to his chest, you were about to run pass him when he suddenly grabbed you by your hand, grasping it tightly. you gasped at the contact, his hand was still as soft as it was when you held it back then. you refused to look at his face behind you.

“i’m sorry.” jay apologized, his voice cracked a bit and you suddenly felt like bursting into tears. bile started to rise up in your throat but you tried to swallow it, not wanting to look vulnerable in front of him just because he didn’t love you anymore.

“i know i said that i’ll wait for you no matter how long it takes, even if you take all the time in the world, even if time decides to take me earlier before you could come back to me, but things changed. i.. wasn’t expecting to fall in love with someone other than you.” he explained, and you listened, still not looking at him.

“aelin came. i met her three years after i decided to wait for you, it was hard for her. because she was loving someone who wasn’t done loving someone else, she was praying for me to love her back. y/n, she wasn’t being selfish, she just wanted me to break free from whatever was holding me back, because the love you gave me wasn’t freeing. i held onto my feelings for you for as long as i could until i decided to fully let go, because i was only hurting myself.” tears start to fall when you let his words process in your head.

you hear jay sniff before continuing, “she was able to do it. i thought i was going to love you forever but i was wrong, aelin proved that i can love again, love her. she did everything, y/n, everything for me to return her feelings because she hated seeing me miserable because of you.”

“and it worked, huh?” you asked, wiping the tears that stained your cheeks. “she helped you realize that i wasn’t a match for you, that i was just someone you had to be with so you could meet the one for you. and there she is.”

“are you mad? i’m sorry... i’m sorry i didn’t wait long enough, i’m sorry.” jay continuously apologized, grabbing you by the waist to pull you closer to him. your back hit his chest and you feel him wrap his arms around you, the sound of thunder echoed in your surroundings.

you let the tears fall freely from your eyes, looking down as jay hugged you tighter. “don’t apologize... you have nothing to be sorry for, jay. i understand. i’m glad you were able to love again, even if it isn’t me, i’m beyond happy for you.”

i guess i was broken beyond repair. i may be okay now but it hurts that i come back home to see him happy with someone else. when the reason why i came back was for him. there’s no reason for me to be here now. you thought.

“i’m happy that you decided to choose yourself.” jay said, “because now you’re here, all fixed and not broken like you were once before when you were with me.”

“if it weren’t for my choice, you wouldn’t have met aelin.” you smiled sadly, pulling away from his hug and turning to face him. “love her better than you did with me. i know you love her, and you’ll love her even more spending the rest of your life with her.”

“i’ll give her all the love in the world, the love that i’m more than capable of giving back to her because she gave me so much of it.”

your heart stings, so bad. you chose to ignore the pain, nodding at his words, thankful that it was raining so he couldn’t see that you were crying.

jay looks at you and you looked back, he didn’t have that same look in his eyes like before, when the two of you were so in love. all you could see was the love he was capable of giving to someone else, someone who wasn’t broken as you were.

he deserved better and you knew it. still, that didn’t change the fact that it hurt you.

he hands you the invitation again and you sighed, “jay-“

“please, y/n. i want you there, i want all of my friends there, it’s not going to be the same without you.”

“jay, it’s going to hurt me even more seeing you look at a girl walk down the aisle that isn’t me.” you confessed, quickly looking down to not see his reaction on what you said. “i’m sorry, i want to... move on. you’re the reason why i decided to come back, there’s no reason for me to stay here now.”

you hear jay sigh at your words. still, he holds one of your hands and places the invitation on your palm. “if that’s going to help you forget me, then do so. i don’t want to see you hurt. but if your means of closure means going to the wedding, then i’d be more than delighted to welcome you there, okay?”

“aelin wouldn’t want to see her fiance’s ex at her wedding.” you mumbled out, “but i’ll think about it, okay? at least tell me if i do, she’ll be alright with it?”

jay nodded, “i already told her. she’s okay with it, she actually wants to meet the girl that i was once in love with. you’re welcome anytime, y/n.”

once in love with.

and then, you found yourself walking away. jay wanted to take you home but you refused, you didn’t want to mistake his act of kindness for something you desperately hoped it was. his love for you.

you were completely drenched from the rain, shivering and holding onto your jacket but nothing hurt more than the pain you were feeling right now. the pain of only being a chapter of jay’s book. only being his prologue and not his epilogue.

you were only his once upon a time, not his happily ever after. and you just had no choice but to accept that.

and you found yourself crying in your bedroom.

Prompt 5: Peeta and Katniss were both rescued in the arena and Peeta shares a bunk in D13 with Finnick - Finnick was sleeping and Peeta and Katniss doesn't see him there in the dark hours while they are tangled in lust and desire - either when everlark is doing it and realizes finnick is there or maybe finnicks POV as he is listening silently or even telling Johanna about it the next day - maybe he even stops them mid fuck with a snide sarcastic remark it's up to you [submitted by anonymous]

Prompt 6: Modern AU. High School or College Everlark. Make the “booth Kiss” but Everlark! Peeta is the big brother of Katniss best friend, and she never imagined rule number #9 would become a problem. “Rule #9: Relatives of your best friend are off-limits.” [submitted by @alwayseverlark]

Prompt 8: Age gap. Peeta and Katniss are cast as the romantic leads in a show (tv, film, stage, or even a commercial). Of course they cast someone half his age. Peeta can’t help falling for her anyway. [submitted by @567inpanem]

Prompt 9: Canon-Divergent/ In Panem D12 “I waited for you” he said but she dint’t reply. He pressed for an answer he knew he deserved, “under the rain, Katniss. I waited for you, under the rain... why would you do that?” / “I can’t do this anymore, Peeta” / “Bullshit, you can but you just don’t want. I thought you were brave!” he yelled at her looking for any reaction that will give some hope. His tears threatening to run down his face. / She didn’t move, and she didn’t correct her, so he ran away and slammed the door behind him. / “I love you” Katniss said to an empty room. [submitted by @alwayseverlark]

Prompt 10: Canon Divergent. When Peeta is rescued from the Capitol and brought to D13, he’s forgotten everything related to Katniss.

It’s the perfect opportunity for Katniss to let it go, it’s what every tells her... but she still kisses his pearl goodnight. [submitted by @alwayseverlark]

Prompt 11: Prim is marrying before starting her dream job as a pediatric surgeon in another district. 30-something Katniss is proud, thrilled, and yet bereft when her entire life was lived for Prim. She’s never even dated. Has Peeta been waiting for this moment to make his move? Or do they meet at the wedding? Or when her friend drags Katniss out of her slump to a party or on a wild vacation after convincing her to quit her jobs and start a new life? [submitted by @567inpanem]

Prompt 12: Fae Katniss. She’s been with him his entire life, so Peeta simply accepted that no one else could see her, thought other people had their own Katniss. She’d been called his imaginary friend and later a crutch, a figment of his imagination, a delusion. Dr. A asks him to make a “real” friend, ignore Katniss, try going on a date. But Katniss won’t be ignored. And a jealous Katniss is a force. [submitted by @567inpanem]

Prompt 13: Katniss is “just one of the guys” and the only girl in school who’s never been asked for a date by any of these guys. One day she’s “discovered” by a modeling agency and whisked to the Capital. She returns 3-months later with a new look, new found confidence, and cash. How will Peeta deal with the new Katniss and all the attention she gets from everyone? [submitted by @567inpanem]

Prompt 14: Peeta is 17 when it comes out the only thing his mother ever cooked was the books; he loses his home, his family, his roll in the community. Katniss is 17 when she loses her only reason for living. What brings them together? How do they help each other survive? What forces work against them? When do they accept the other as ally, as friend, as lover? Canon divergent. [submitted by @567inpanem]

Prompt 15: 16-yr-old Peeta’s family moves away. 10 years later he returns and buys a foreclosed upon fixer-upper. When does he learn it belonged to Katniss’s family? She still lives there and hides from him, observes him, haunts him, and ruins all his romantic dates when he’s trying to impress women by making them dinner. Does she learn all she needs to know about him and fall in love before he discovers she’s real and living with him and the one who’s been ruining his love life? [submitted by @567inpanem]

Prompt 16: canon divergent, arranged marriage. Many, many years after the rebellion, old victor and mockingjay Haymitch living alone finally starts accepting help, hires teenagers Katniss to bring him liquor and pick up packages and Peeta to bring food and do some chores. The old man sees how the 2 could be good for each other, and being strategic, manipulative, and an old romantic fool with regrets over “the one that got away,” he writes a will leaving his huge fortune to Peeta and Katniss on the condition they have a big romantic wedding within 30 days and live in his mansion caring for his Effie Rose Garden (“Creamy buds unfurl to reveal a memorable heart of buttery yellow, dusty apricot and zesty orange. From a cupped bloom, Rose Effie gradually opens to a perfect rosette, showcasing her splendor.”) And geese. [submitted by @567inpanem]

Prompt 17: AU, supernatural. “The Monkey's Paw" retelling - 3 wishes are granted (to the owner of the monkey's paw, either Katniss or Peeta) but the wishes come with an enormous price for interfering with fate. Will the last wish make things right? [submitted by @567inpanem]

Prompt 18: enemies to lovers. Katniss ruins Peeta’s relationship or his shot with a super hot woman. Peeta ruins Katniss’s shot at great job or security with potential fiancé. Other series of embarrassments and cockblocking type events? Will they start sabotaging each other for revenge? Will they have angry sex or will it dawn on them that they’re actually attracted to each other first and make everything awkward before they instead have a sweet vulnerable moment and slow reverent love-making? [submitted by @567inpanem]

Prompt 19: based loosely on retelling of biblical Jacob and wives Rachel and Leah in that polygamist Peeta is husband to both Katniss and Prim. [submitted by @567inpanem]

Prompt 20: Peeta works in ER or long-term care facility. Katniss called in from next-of-kin list and has to decide whether to pull the plug on Prim. They argue over value and meaning of life, over spiritual beliefs and doubts of afterlife, over everything. What will she do? Will this event in this one room be the only thing they ever share, or will the bond they forge through this emotional event be the beginning for them? [submitted by @567inpanem]

Prompt 21: Graduating senior Katniss finally accepts an invitation to one of Madge’s wild, unsupervised parties completely unprepared for what goes on in them. Everyone at the party notices her for different reasons from jealousy over the way she looks to suspicion that she’s going to tell parents about the activities to desire to ruin her good girl reputation. Peeta has never missed a party - how does he react to seeing her there? [submitted by @567inpanem]

Prompt 22: Their creative writing assignment is to write a short story or poem and to illustrate it as a sketch, painting, animation, with puppets, anything goes. Classmates Katniss and Peeta base their works on the exact same shared experience! (such as the burnt bread, the dandelion, the meadow at sunset, something else entirely). Reaction? People think one of them copied the idea off the other or that they worked together. But Katniss and Peeta realize that the other one remembers, and it meant something to them, too! Will they finally talk? [submitted by @567inpanem]

Prompt 23: social media type craziness enemies to lovers. Katniss and Peeta each host a YouTube channel rapidly growing in popularity, Peeta focuses on baking and Katniss on wild game cooking, a competition for audience share becomes personal after they both bake a meat pie recipe, viewers begin to rabidly support their favorite or to ship them together hard, they start to hate each other without ever meeting, maybe they get forced into interacting for a charity benefit, things get ugly, maybe one or both has significant other who react badly to the shipping hype? [submitted by @567inpanem]

Prompt 24: While no one expected Katniss to show up to graduation right after her mother passed away and her sister died, they were surprised that she disappeared completely, and even more stunned when she reappeared years later to claim the town’s only apothecary as the last living family member. What compels her to take it over? Where has she been? What kind of welcome does she get? How does she feel about returning and about town life? What’s been going on with Peeta, is he the baker, is he single, a dad, how’s he been all these years? Will talking with him be awkward? Has he changed? Who has Katniss become? Does she seem different? Will she stay? [submitted by @567inpanem]

Prompt 25: Katniss is the new girl at this school, transferred to get a better education. Everything about her is alluring, even more so because she doesn’t see the effect she has. Seems everyone is in a clique. She learns that some people are mean and compete like it’s a fight to the death. How does she survive this new arena, learn to identify friends, and stay true to her values under this pressure to fit in? [submitted by @567inpanem]

Prompt 141: Okay. So texting is wonderful, isn’t it? Katniss is thrilled that she can talk to people without actually talking, especially across the room when that one person you want to talk to is in a different conversation/group than you are. (This can just be fluffy, but as an added bonus, maybe it’s also a way for someone to get *flirty* - or more - with their convo, making her blush like crazy, and the people in her group wanna know what’s going on, why are you blushing..... Or even reversed where Peeta ends up blushing at something she sent. Though he would probably just grin and look up at her unabashedly, which she chided him for later because it’s a dead giveaway. OR! Katniss receives an unwanted text/set of texts from someone - named or not idc - and someone like Finnick or Jo, Gale, maybe Prim, or even Peeta - beast mode activated - sees it over her shoulder and loses their shit and starts taking over the conversation in a ridiculous and hilarious way, unbeknownst to the person responding, and to Katniss’ chagrin. Maybe even as a group, and Katniss just cannot get her phone out of their hands. (I feel like Haymitch, Cinna, and Effie would add their hilarious two cents here and there but also I have no idea how that would work. Idk. This is also known as “The prompt for something I want to write but I don’t write sexy because I’m an awkward turtle but I still want to read this”. You know.

for the meet uglies, sternclay 60 sfw? OwO

Here you go!

60 Sterncly SFW. we’re both on a reality show (like the queer bachelor) where we’re told to be friends but the first time we met, you were incredibly rude and judgmental and I don’t know if I can do this for the damn cameras

“So, Barclay, now that we’re a few days in, what’s your impression of the other contestants?”

“They, uh, they all seem like great guys. We come from a lot of different backgrounds, so that’s kind of interesting to be around but, uh, I live in a place that’s like a big, chosen family, so being in a house with a bunch of types of personalities is kinda, uh, homey.”

“There’s no one you think you’ll struggle with?”

“Uh. Well. I, uh, I don’t like Joseph too much. He came in and he’s so, like, phony from all the years in the FBI. It’s like he’s trying to be polite and charming but really he thinks we’re all idiots for being here. Which, like, buddy, last I checked you signed up for this the same as the rest of us.”

------------------------------------------------------

“Joseph, any worries about the other contestants?”

“No. I mean, we’re competitors on a dating show, not enemies. I think we’re all trying to show Vincent the best versions of ourselves.”

“There’s no one you’ve had conflicts with?”

“........I, um, Barclay and I got into a small argument earlier about the house rules. But I’m sure if we both stick around long enough we’ll come to an understanding.”

----------------------------------------------------

“Gentlemen, this cannot continue.” Ned, the producer, sits on the couch across from them. Barclay glares at Joseph, but the other man keeps a cool demeanor. Great, he’s making Barclay look like the big, angry mountain even off camera.

“I thought reality shows needed conflict to thrive.” Joseph cocks an eyebrow.

“They do, but about big things, like love and rivalry. Not how to properly load a dishwasher.”

“I’m just trying to be efficient.”

“My way is perfectly fine.” Barclay snaps, “jesus, I worked in kitchens for years, I know how to get clean plates.”

“That doesn’t make it optimal.”

“Do you have to be right about everything?”

“Gentlemen, you recall we have a housekeeping staff, right?”

“It doesn’t matter” Barclay doesn’t take his eyes off Ned, “we’re supposed to all get along, not all try and prove we’re the smartest guy in the room.”

“See, this is your problem, you need everyone to like you, to see you like a big brother, but you’re missing the fact that at least three of them have decided your gentle giant persona is a threat and they’re trying to oust you.”

“It’s not a persona, it’s just how I am. We aren’t all government shams disguised as men.”

Joseph’s facade cracks for a moment, blue eyes trying to light Barclay on fire.

“Enough.” Ned shakes his head, “you may despise each other as much as you please behind the scenes. In front of the cameras, please try to act as if you’re not ten seconds away from coming to blows. Agreed?”

They trade a final, furious look.

“Agreed.”

------------------------------------------------------

They’re a little over three weeks in; Vincent is still doing lots and lots of short, individual dates between the group outings, so the contestants have ample time to hang around the house and get on each others nerves.

Case in point: Joseph was right when he warned Barclay that others saw him as a threat. Chad, Alex, Nico, and Rich have all decided to go after him. Just this morning he’s been told he’s not man enough for Vincent (he shooed a wolf spider out of the kitchen with a broom instead of squishing it), too girly (he offered to make cupcakes if people wanted), and too big (who'd want to fuck a six foot tall puppy).

His mood is not helped by Joseph chatting away on the couch about his former job with the FBI. Barclay swears it’s all the asshole knows how to talk about. Maybe it’s time for Barclay to play a game of his own.

“Hey, Joseph.”

The other man turns, black hair perfectly slicked back like he thinks he’s some kind of movie star.

“I bet you ten bucks you can’t make it until eight tonight without talking about your job.”

The other contestants in the room snicker, several even giving Barclay a thumbs up.

Joseph adjusts his shirt sleeves, “You’re on.”

Ten hours later, Barclay is forced to get his wallet. The other man never mentioned the FBI once. In fact, he did Barclay an even bigger favor; he didn’t talk at all.

He finds the agent sitting on the back steps leading into the garden. Stays standing as he holds out the cash, “you win fair and square.”

Joseph looks at the money, then looks away, “I did it to show I could, not for the bet.”

“I mean, you didn’t have to go, uh, quite so hard on the silence thing.”

“I didn’t mean to. But, um, every time I was going to open my mouth, I realized it was somehow related to work. So I kept quiet.” He sighs, stretches out his legs. He’s in slacks, because of course he is, “I must have been so tedious to listen to, no wonder I was driving you up the wall.”

“Joseph-”

“I really am married to my career. I guess it’s not surprising my last chance for love is on a T.V show.”

“Hey, I get it.” Barclay sits down next to him, “when I was first working in commercial kitchens my hours were crazy; I barely saw my apartment, my friends, my boyfriend who pretty quickly became my ex. But it was what I needed to do to build the career I wanted for myself. To do what I loved.”

Only the crickets and the distant waves reply. Then, “You said you were a private chef now, right? Along with writing cookbooks?”

“Yeah. Kinda surprised you remembered.”

“Listening is a major skill in my profession. Besides, it’s polite to pay attention to what people tell you.”

“What’s your job now? You only ever talk about the FBI stuff?”

“Paranormal investigation. I never bring it up because people assume I’m out chasing Bigfoot with a shaky-cam or trying to communicate with haunted dolls.”

“So...what is it instead?”

“Helping people figure out they’re homes aren’t haunted or the monster on their property is just some owls. I like the challenge of solving the mystery, and I like helping people feel safe in they’re homes.”

Loud voices form inside; the caterers must have refilled the bar. He doesn’t really want to go in. It’s too nice out here.

“You wanna hear about the restaurant my coworkers swore was haunted?”

Joseph perks up, turning to face him, “Yes, please.”

-----------------------------------------------------

He’d been really looking forward to beach day. Six guys are already gone, and Vincent has taken his fleet of suitors to the sunny San Diego shores. Barclay is dismayed to find all but three of the other guys have waxed their chests. Joseph hasn’t, but his happy trail is nothing compared to fucking black forest on Barclays torso. Nico’s gotten half the guys to call Barclay “bigfoot.”It makes him feel like he’s back in high school P.E freshman year, and his body image is rapidly sliding into that of a shy fourteen year old.

“Barclay!” Joseph comes jogging out of the surf towards the towels they lay down side by side when they arrived, “you should come in, it’s really the perfect weather for swimming.” He drops onto his towel, black hair a bit mussed. The swim-shorts that he thought were blue with green spots turn out to have not dots, but tiny UFOs on them.

“I, uh, I’m good. I, uh, I burn easily and I don’t think anyone wants to rub sunscreen on my hairy back.”

“Hey, Bigfoot, what’s wrong? Scared of what’ll happen if the cameras get a load of your gut?”

Barclay growls, stares at his toes. Joseph tracks Nico as he finishes jogging by. Then he calmly picks up a frisbee, aims a throw, and knocks his snapback off his head. He’s sitting down before the other man can work out who threw it. Barclay chuckles, but doesn’t get up.

“Bigfoot’s my favorite cryptid.”

“Uh, thanks?”

“And who gives a shit if you have a stomach.”

“Easy for you to say, you’re cut.”

Joseph grabs his sunglasses, “because I like that for my body. I happen to like yours just as much. Um I, I mean, it seems like Vincent likes it.” He tips his head towards the Bachelor, who gives them both a long once-over.

“...Will you do my back?”

“Of course, big guy.” The nickname sounds so right on his tongue it makes Barclay want to set his head in his lap and ask him to pet it.

It’s late afternoon when Ned herds them all onto a boat which promptly steers towards some cliffs. Joseph stays close to Barclay, pleasant expression noticeably tightening the closer they get to the rocks.

“I’ve been dreading this. Cliff diving is not something I’d pick to do on my own.”

“Heights?”

He shakes his head, “Deep water. I know it’s not rational, and I even checked to be sure there hadn’t been large shark sightings in the area, but I can never shake the feeling there’s something waiting just out of sight, ready to surge up and eat me.”

They all climb up together, Vincent staying on the boat to watch them jump (this is technically a friendly competition to show off how brave they are). As they’re turns get closer, Barclay sees Joseph doing deep breathing exercises.

They hit the edge. The agent freezes.

“Shit. I don’t think I can do this.”

“C’mon, where’s my daring special agent?”

Joseph still doesn’t move.

“You, uh, you wanna jump together? Maybe the megaladon or whatever will eat me instead.”

“Megalodons are extinct; we’d know if they weren’t, same as we know Whale Sharks aren’t.”

“They you are.” Barclay murmurs, smiling.

Joseph manages a smile back, “On three?”

“Yep. One, two” he grabs Joseph’s hand “three”

The water rises to swallow them with terrifying speed, but nothing is waiting for them except one very startled fish. They surface together, Joseph laughing triumphantly, hair plaster to his head and sun shining in his ocean eyes.

If Vincent doesn’t pick him, he’s out of his mind.

--------------------------------------------------------

“Ohmylord, we have to play this.” Joseph cannot believe his luck; he figured the barcade group date would mean a lot of solo time, but here’s his favorite game in the whole wide world.

“Monster Hunt?” Barclay laughs as he lets himself be lovingly shoved down into the seat of a cut-out Jeep, “very on brand.”

“They had this at the bowling alley near my house. I’d play when my parents had league night but couldn't get a sitter. I never could beat the Mothman level without a player two.”

He doesn’t have that problem tonight, even with Barclay distractingly delighted and handsome in the seat beside him. After that, they make it their mission to find every two-player game in the thrum of flashing colors and tinny music. He finds they both like the Bowser Bourbon Smash, and somewhere around their fourth, heated game of air hockey they each polish of one too many of them to stay upright without the support of a game, a helpful show staff member, or each other.

When they get back to the house (their fellow contestants all in a similar state to themselves) they manage to make it to Joseph’s room before collapsing into a giggling heap on the bed.

“That, hic, that was fun. Games are, hic, fun.” Barclay blinks at him, “what’re you laughing, hic, at.”

“You, you got the hiccups. S’funny because you’re so big, like, like watching a, a pitbull with a, um, a” he makes a squeezing motion that his sober self would recognize as “squeaky toy.”

“M’not big” Barclay pouts, “I, hic, maybe everyone else is, hic, just small. Ever think of th--hic--at.”

“S’not a bad thing.” Joseph shifts so they’re facing each other, “like how big you are. Makes you sexy.”

Barclay blushes, “you’re, hic, one to, to talk. You’re hot, so, hic, so fucking out. Got, got those eyes. That, hic, that face” He touches Joseph’s cheek, “love your face.”

“Love yours too.” Joseph says, stroking his beard. Then they’re moving in inelegant tandem, grabbing at each others shoulders and faces as their mouths find each other. Barclay is so warm, whimpering when Joseph rolls him on top, nipping his lips and pawing at him like a puppy hoping for a treat. Joseph is going to hold him close and let him have it.

A clatter from below, one of the other men knocking something over in the kitchen, breaks the spell.

“Wait, wait” Joseph reluctantly slides his hands of Barclays ass, “we, drunk, we’re drunk, too drunk.”

Barclay blinks down at him, pouting a little even as he groans “fuck, you’re, you’re right. Wanna, gotta remember this. Don’t wanna” he yawns, “regret it.” The instant he flops onto his back Joseph climbs into his arms and falls asleep to the slow rhythm of his breathing.

-----------------------------------------------

After that night, they agree to be more careful; they’re here for Vincent, to see if one of them is his true love. That’s what the contract they signed says.

“More careful” turns out to mean watching their alcohol intake around each other and only touching platonically (including falling asleep on the couch together. They wake up to cameras recording their nap. Barclay isn’t sure what Joseph threatens Ned with, but the footage never sees the light of day).

But unless they’re on a solo date with Vincent, they’re by each others side. Barclay teaches Joseph dominoes and how to make biscuits. Joseph introduces him to terrible old horror movies that they watch on his laptop and compliments his cooking every chance he gets.

They must be doing something right, because they move to the next round week after week, Vincent clearly enamored with both of them. Barclay certainly understands the feeling. Just not for the person who he’s supposed to.

“Joseph? If, uh, if neither of us win, what are you gonna do after this.”

“Go back to work. Maybe pitch my book about U.S cryptids.” Joseph’s smile goes shy for a moment before recovering, “but I wouldn’t worry, big guy; I think you’re the front runner for sure.”

Barclay knows for a fact that Joseph is a fan favorite and the suitor most people think will win. Which is why, when Vincent selects his final four, he’s not surprised Joseph gets the first rose. Then everyone but Barclay is holding one and Vincent is touching his shoulder.

“Barclay, please don’t take this as a sign I’m not deeply fond of you. This wasn’t an easy choice but I, well, I feel like your heart may not be in this anymore.”

He takes Vincent’s hand and squeezes it, “It’s okay. It was wonderful just to get to know you. All of you.” He looks at the final four, at Joseph’s calm, polite expression. He meets blue eyes as he says, “I hope you find someone who makes you happy.”

With that he turns, all too aware of the cameras tracking his exit, his face, how he’ll have to do a final interview and not reveal that he’ll hate Vincent forever but not blame him in the slightest if he marries Joseph.

“Wait!”

Every eye, lensed or no, turns back to the gazebo. Joseph is at the edge of the steps, poised to run. When he sees Barclay stop, he turns to Vincent.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t accept this.” He hands the bachelor the rose, “I hope you understand.”

There’s no soundtrack on set, but strings swell in his ears all the same as Joseph descends the stairs and leaps into his arms, kissing him so hard he still has stars in his eyes when he opens them.

“It’s not a marriage proposal” Joseph whispers, kissing his cheek, “but I do have a question for you.” He pulls back, all cameras on them but his attention for Barclay alone, “would you like to be my boyfriend, big guy?”

Barclay rests their foreheads together, “Yeah, babe, I really, really would.”

Run || Slenderwoman

Pairing : Yandere! Slenderwoman X Reader

Genre : Yandere, a LOT of angst, tiny bit of fluff if u squint

Summary : Never did you think you'd have to run from the woman you loved most.

Wordcount: 1k

WARNINGS : Aight so- *takes a deep breath* This one issa heavy Yandere, everyone dies- but not everyone dies¿, also gore but not too much, the person who sent a the request wanted fluff but yu can prolly only find it with glasses?

{ A/N: This one's for @ledkitty on wattpad, I know the request called for fluff but I couldn't find enough personality traits and so it ended up a lot darker, sorry.}

You ran along the path of woods, trying to escape the clutches as the creature who you used to love so much.

Now, you just want to never see her again, or at least not until she's worked trough her problems.

Your relation started out odd, years ago. She's an unknown superior species who was there for you when you needed someone most.

You had run into the forest when your bullies had become too much for you.

You didn't know what dangers lurked whitin. You were lucky that day though, when the Rake had spotted you, and fixated you with it's dead terrifying eyes, Slenderwoman had come to save you.

𝓘 𝓬𝓪𝓷

Your tears streamed down your face as you ran off, not knowing where to go, nor knowing what to do.

" Ha! Look at that pathetic loser!" One of your bullies yelled while laughing, and so did three of the four others behind him.

" Think you can get rid of us this easily? C'mon guys let's follow her!" He laughed, dumbly following you.

" Wait! We don't you think this is enough?" Esila, the only girl among them, said to him as he tried following you, holding a grip on his arm.

" What? No! I told her to do my fucking homework, but she didn't. Remember?" He told her harshly before pushing her away, and following you, two of his goons following him.

their hunt for you didn't last very long in the end, as you ran into the 'haunted' forest beside town.

" Hey, stop dude. She ran in the forest, nobody makes it out there alive." His friend told him.

he shrugged before walking off.

meanwhile you keep running, and after a few minutes, running turned into walking, and after an hour or two light turned into dark, and the forest seemed to have this creepy vibe to it.

Which explains why you ignored the feeling of being watched, until it became a little too strong.

When you turned around, a gasp emitted from you as you made eye contact with an odd creature. It appeared to be somewhat human like, with terrifying elongated arms and legs, it was white and thin and it's eyes were staring directly at you.

Until it suddenly screeched and ran at you.

You, who was in a state of panic, didn't move and didn't make a noise either.

You did not realise when it stopped running, until it screamed, bend in an uncomfortable position and holding it's head..

Being awakened by it's screaming, you turned around in order to run, only to be met by tall legs.

Whatever stood behind you, you could barely read to it's middle.

" Don't worry, child. I've got you." The voice was femine, yet when you looked up, she did not have a face.

She made you feel safe.

𝓘 𝓬𝓪𝓷 ° 𝓢𝓮𝓮 𝔂𝓸𝓾

However, you know no one will save you now.

You don't even understand what went wrong.

You only know that she used her mind games to get you in the forest, crossing the only rule the two of you had.

When you had woken up in her embrace and asked her about it, she simply waved you off.

If she had a face, you'd be pretty sure she'd be smiling.

- 𝓘 𝓬𝓪𝓷 ° 𝓢𝓮𝓮 𝔂𝓸𝓾 ° 𝓕𝓻𝓸𝓶 𝓫𝓮𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓭

" So you can't smile?" You asked her curiously, walking by her side once again in the forest.

" Not exactly, why did you run back into the forest? I'm sure people told you of the horrors that happen here." Her long hair flowing behind her.

" Of course I have. I just, wanted to see you again."

That sentence had more influence than you initially had expected.

-𝓘 𝓬𝓪𝓷 ° 𝓢𝓮𝓮 𝔂𝓸𝓾 ° 𝓕𝓻𝓸𝓶 𝓫𝓮𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓭 ° 𝓨𝓸𝓾 𝓬𝓪𝓷

Now, you found out she did have one, and that you could only see it if you angered her.

"₵Ø₥Ɇ ฿₳₵₭ ₥Ɏ ⱠØVɆ, ₴₮Ø₱ ₣Ʉ₵₭Ł₦₲ ⱤɄ₦₦Ł₦₲." Her voice echoed trough your mind.

You know you won't, she knows it too.

Not after all the bodies of your friends which you've seen.

You didn't really mean to.

You just walked off, hung out by a cliff, it was when you looked down into the depths, and then you screamed.

You did not think you'd find all the missing people of your town down there, nor did you expect to find some of your friends there too.

You didn't know she was a killer up till that moment.

You didn't know she's the creature you were supposed to look out for.

- 𝓘 𝓬𝓪𝓷 ° 𝓢𝓮𝓮 𝔂𝓸𝓾 ° 𝓕𝓻𝓸𝓶 𝓫𝓮𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓭 ° 𝓨𝓸𝓾 𝓬𝓪𝓷 °𝓗𝓮𝓪𝓻 𝓶𝓮

You walked off from the side of the forest you and Slenderwoman usually sticked to.

According to her, the Rake is out here more than in the part where she had taken you.

You've decided to check it out. The initial plan was to check the space out a bit, and move back.

However, that plan was yeeted off your brain train once a very prominent metallic smell invaded your senses.

And so you set out to explore.

the stronger the smell became, the more quiet the forest became.

The only reason you stopped following the scent was because the ground you were walking on came to an end.

You sighed and turned your head down, about to give up your search, when you spotted the answer right below you.

All the people who've mysteriously been reported missing, your ex girlfriend, your bullies and a few other friends of yours all lied there.

You couldn't even recognise some of the bodies down there, due to how torn apart they were.

It's just only bloody mess, which caused you to scream before running.

Slenderwoman was quick to follow

- 𝓘 𝓬𝓪𝓷 ° 𝓢𝓮𝓮 𝔂𝓸𝓾 ° 𝓕𝓻𝓸𝓶 𝓫𝓮𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓭 ° 𝓨𝓸𝓾 𝓬𝓪𝓷 °𝓗𝓮𝓪𝓻 𝓶𝓮 ° 𝓘𝓷 𝔂𝓸𝓾𝓻 𝓜𝓘𝓝𝓓

" Ł ₴₳ŁĐ ₴₮Ø₱ ⱤɄ₦₦Ł₦₲!" She screamed, now close enough to grab you.

What she didn't realize however, is that your breath stopped as soon as her claws digged into your skin.

{ A/N: Did u expect the ending? I didn't. Also, I started realizing some of you would also like to see fluff, so I'm going to be starting up creepypasta boyfriend scenarios, idk when it'll be launched but I'm working onnit. If u want to see certain charaters, please do comment on this bit of text :) [ For the Quotev readers just drop names in the comment and put AN in front of it so I can recognise it, thanx.] }

This Cursed Broken Heart - Part II

Second part to this. All parts. I wanted to finish the entire thing, but I don’t have the energy right now, so well. Have part two of three or four, idk.

---

Sunday comes, and Wei Ying’s nervousness has not abated one bit.

He doesn’t have to be worried about Lan Zhan, he knows that. Lan Zhan has always been a favourite with his extended family, because let’s face it, Lan Zhan is the kind of boy you want to introduce to your family. Lan Zhan is the kind of man that your family hopes you’ll marry one day.

Wei Ying is the kind of boy your family always warns you about.

That error in judgement really came back to haunt Lan Zhan later on. Wei Ying still remembers the moment when he looked at Lan Zhan and realised that they were stuck in a hole they couldn’t get out of. And that’s when he had known it was time to leave.

He doesn’t have to be worried about Lan Zhan, but he has to be worried about his own messy feelings.

He picks Lan Zhan up at 10 o’clock sharp, and as always, Lan Zhan is already waiting for him. He’s wearing a form-fitting white three-piece suit and a light blue shirt today, but has foregone a tie to break the formal stiffness of the look. Instead, a patterned silk handkerchief in tucked into his breast pocket. He looks effortlessly elegant, as if he’s just stepped out of the pages of a fashion magazine. Wei Ying hates it, because goddamn, it makes him feel inadequate. His own black suit and red shirt combo make him look crummy in comparison.

It also makes him want to worship at the altar of Lan Zhan again.

He slaps his best smile on his face and leads Lan Zhan to the car.

“Just tell Granny Yu you’ve been very busy with work if she asks anything private, ok?” he tells Lan Zhan as they drive off. “And ignore Jiang Cheng. He’s grumpy because I managed to recruit you. He has to face the aunties on his own now. They’re going to try and matchmake this year too, set him up with some unsuitable and unlucky girl, I have no doubt. He hates it, but he still never manages to tell them to stop.”

“You are not dating?” Lan Zhan asks, which isn’t really what Wei Ying intended Lan Zhan to take away from this conversation.

Wei Ying shoots him a quick, considering look, but Lan Zhan isn’t looking at him.

“No,” he says eventually. “That would be a little weird, wouldn’t it? ‘I know we’re dating but I need to take my ex to this party because Granny Yu expects him to come.’ No, that wouldn’t work out well. Might as well ask them to break up with me at once.”

Lan Zhan doesn’t deign an answer to that, and keeps staring out of the car window in silence. Wei Ying falls silent, too, not knowing what to talk about next. Every topic seems to be fraught with dificculties. He knows so much about Lan Zhan, but asking him about his rabbits, his brother or if work is going well seems either shallow or cruel, depending on how you look at it.

They drive on without speaking again, until they finally arrive at the venue.

“There we are,” Wei Ying sighs. “Okay, Lan Zhan, it’s time to put on your boyfriend hat. Have you decided what you want as your reward? Remember that I’m poor, though. I can’t get you expensive things.”

Lan Zhan doesn’t reply, but he gets out of the car and goes around to the other side, so he can help Wei Ying out. He often did that, when they dated; old-fashioned chivalry that never failed to make Wei Ying blush. As if it still comes natural to him, Lan Zhan’s hand settles on the small of Wei Ying’s back once he’s out of the car, and he guides him towards the entrance with an ease Wei Ying is jealous of. A pulse of white-hot electricity races up and down Wei Ying’s spine at being touched this way by Lan Zhan.

Not a single person has touched him like this for an entire year, and the fact that it’s Lan Zhan who’s doing it, doing it again, makes something in Wei Ying’s brain go a little fuzzy.

They step into the fancy restaurant that Jiang Fengmian reserved for his birthday party, and they are immediately welcomed by a stampeding horde of noisy relations. Everyone is here, from his little toddler cousins to that one great-aunt that’s like a hundred years old, and it’s both painfully familiar and yet also tinged with a sense of enduring strangeness. None of these people are connected to him by blood, after all. He’s not here because he belongs.

He never even met his actual grandparents.

Lucky for Wei Ying, Lan Zhan is a bastion of calm in the noisy chaos of the Jiang family coming to greet them. They congratulate Jiang Fengmian and enjoy the thirty seconds of attention he can bestow upon them, and then continue greeting all other members of the family. Lan Zhan sticks to his side, so he simply stays right where he is, half-shielded by Lan Zhan, and pastes a friendly smile on his face.

‘Yes, look here,’ he says to himself. ‘Your token gay cousin and his boyfriend are here.’

It’s a ridiculous notion, but it keeps him smiling. And it’s not wrong. Most of the offspring in the Jiang family has married early, and everyone married a heterosexual partner. All of them also got busy producing more offspring basically from the wedding night onwards. The only notable exception is Jiang Cheng, who is a late bloomer if there has ever been one, and Wei Ying, of course. Wei Ying, who always thought he was straight but never felt he should date or marry, until he fell head over heels for Lan Zhan. Wei Ying, who hasn’t looked at another person since.

Literally any other cousin in this family that is over the age of eighteen is married and has produced at least one child already. It’s kind of insane.

“Lan Zhan!” a voice drowns out the general cacophony of noise. “It’s so good to see you!”

And out of the middle of the crowd appears a tiny old woman, leaning heavily on her cane. Granny Yu is as old as stone, and her legs are bad, but her voice still carries with the vigour of a woman who’s used to being obeyed.

Lan Zhan obediently leans down so Granny Yu can inspect him. As usual, she seems to have no complaints as far as Lan Zhan is concerned. When she turns her eyes to Wei Ying, however, they become critical.

“Wei Ying!” she belts. “You are so thin! Look at you! Lan Zhan! Are you feeding him right?”

“Granny Yu,” Wei Ying tries to appease her, “I’m already an adult, I can take care of myself.”

“Nonsense,” Granny Yu grouses. “You’ve always been a terrible eater. Always hoarding your food until it went bad. Lan Zhan, you need to make sure that he’s eating.”

It’s embarrassing, to get reminded of the little habits he picked up while living on the streets. He got rid of that particular habit one year or so after he was adopted by the Jiang family, but Granny Yu never forgot about the time when she discovered his little food hoard, and has been checking his size, weight and general health ever since. She always tells her many grandchildren to eat, but with Wei Ying she’s that more tenacious. And once Wei Ying started dating Lan Zhan, she never failed to remind Lan Zhan to feed him properly. And Lan Zhan, with infinite patience, agreed with her every single time, promising to take care of Wei Ying.

Well, he did use to feed Wei Ying. But Wei Ying’s current state, which he thinks is hardly different from his usual state, is not Lan Zhan’s responsibility. If he’s a little thinner than usual, that’s on himself. Still, Lan Zhan nods seriously as he’s being admonished by Granny Yu.

“Lan Zhan,” Wei Ying says, and it’s easy to lay his hand on Lan Zhan’s chest to get his attention, as if he never stopped doing it. “Don’t listen to her. I can feed myself.”

Lan Zhan looks at him, and the mulish expression on his face is familiar enough that Wei Ying can read it immediately. Lan Zhan has said it to him before: ‘A little more weight won’t hurt you. And a little more food does neither make you greedy nor a glutton.’

“I will eat to my heart’s content today, Granny Yu,” Wei Ying says out loud, because he really wants to shut down this discussion as soon as possible. “So don’t blame Lan Zhan, hmm?”

Granny Yu seems slightly mollified by his promise. She huffs once, and then starts herding people towards where she wants them at the large tables prepared for them.

Wei Ying is relieved once Granny Yu is gone. The first test has been passed, and no one seems to have noticed anything out of the ordinary.

That changes the next moment when Jiang Cheng suddenly appears next to Wei Ying.

“I can’t believe you actually brought him with you,” he hisses into Wei Ying’s ear.

“Jiang Cheng,” Wei Ying warns him. “We’ve talked about this.”

“You’re just trying to garner points with Granny Yu,” Jiang Cheng shoots back. “Because she always liked you best.”

Before anything more can be said, Wei Ying finds himself pulled away from Jiang Cheng. He just catches Lan Zhan’s angry glare (directed at Jiang Cheng) out of the corner of his eye, then he’s maneuvered to the seats that have been reserved for him and Lan Zhan.

“Sorry,” Wei Ying whispers to Lan Zhan once they’re seated. “I warned him like three times not to say anything.”

Lan Zhan doesn’t reply, but he takes Wei Ying’s hand into his own and lifts it to press a kiss on his knuckles.

The lips that brush his skin are soft and warm. It’s so gentle, and so sweet.

It’s too much.

The gesture is far too intimate; too intimate for what they are no more, too intimate for the occasion, too intimate for Wei Ying’s heart.

He pully his hand out of Lan Zhan’s hold, attempting to make it seem natural and not like he’s trying to escape the affection of his own (fake) boyfriend. Still, he has to take a few deep breaths to collect himself. It’s too much. He feels shaky. He was a fool when he thought he could casually see Lan Zhan for one day and not be haunted by the ghosts of the past that he never managed to exorcise the entire time.

Lan Zhan doesn’t try to engage him again. Instead, he exchanges a few words with one of Wei Ying’s uncles seated across the table, and the bustling around them continues as if everything is perfectly fine, until the food finally arrives.

What wouldn’t I do for you - part 1

Set right after season 3, my angsty take on what could happen. I don’t actually believe that this could be canon but that’s what fanfiction are for right? Dreaming on. Here’s some angst with a happy ending for you.

The metal cuffs kept Raquel’s hands tightly knotted behind her back, and the officer staring at her with fixed unyielding eyes clutching a Remington 700 dissuaded her from attempting any type of move.

Sergio’s words were still resonating in her head, keeping her mind occupied instead of facing the reality of what’s happening to her.

“You were my first love”.

She could still feel his phantom kiss on her lips, already missing him. The mere thought of the pain she’s putting her lover through as he was probably mourning her made her wince. “I’m in love with you” he had told her.

And so am I, she wanted to tell him, so am I.

So madly, madly in love that she did not hesitate to throw her entire life away to follow him. So madly in love that she did not give up his position even when she thought they were going to kill her. So madly I love that just thinking of him made her smile through the tears that had dried on her face.

The car ride back to Madrid felt like an eternity. Raquel has no idea what was going to happen to her. She doubted they would put her through the same torture they inflicted to Rio, but she also knew that they wouldn’t let her go before making her spill every little detail about Sergio’s plan. She was already mentally preparing herself to the tedious interrogation hours that were going to follow.

Several hours and a lot of roads bumps later, Raquel found herself sitting in the same a prison cell shackled to a wall and facing the Inspectora Sierra.

“I’m very sorry for the inconvenience Raquel, but the Professor has the frustrating habit of freeing every member of the band we managed to capture. So this time we decided not to take too many risks.”

Raquel’s brows rose at the pregnant woman.

“You’re not gonna stay silent are you? You wouldn’t be very useful that way...”

Raquel didn’t move .

“You know, no one knows you’re alive. Not even your precious boyfriend. We can do anything we want with you and no one will hold us accountable for it.”

Raquel threw her hair back.

“I want my lawyer” she said.

“Lawyer? That’s a funny one.” answered Sierra “on all the records dear, you’re dead. Dead people don’t have lawyers.”

Raquel inhaled deeply. She knew the interrogation techniques of the police by heart, but Sierra seemed keen on breaking all the protocols.

“You know, you could start telling us what you know about the Professor and his plans. We’re going to convince you eventually so why go through the trouble?”

“I don’t know anything about the Professor’s plan. He never told us anything that wasn’t related to our role.”

“You see, I don’t believe you. But...” she moved closer to the chair “I know exactly how to get you to talk.”

Raquel rolled her eyes but Sierra only smiled and closed the light as she exited the room.

As darkness replaced the faint glow of the cell’s lamp, Raquel inhaled deeply. Then, she started the meditation routine she had practiced for hours next to Sergio. She needed to calm her mind to think and manage to keep her mouth shut regardless of what was coming.

She dove and dove into the depth of her mind locking away in imaginary boxes all the information she had about the heist.

“I don’t know anything more than my limited role” she told herself over and over again.

“The Professor doesn’t share his secrets” she insisted in an attempt to convince herself of those lies.

A dripping sound in the background startled her. She tried to find from where it came from but counting the dimness of the room and the limited movements her handcuffs allowed she couldn’t get very far.

The drops were falling in a uneven pattern, sometimes slow, sometimes faster. Then they’d stop for a while, then faster again. This was not only frustrating Raquel, but also making her want to go to the bathroom urgently.

The little red dot blinking near the ceiling confirmed her suspicions, that she was being watched. She had no idea how long she’d been here, no idea how long she’d stay. If the growing discomfort of her back and growling of her stomach were any indicators, she’d say at least five hours had passed.

Her need to go to the bathroom grew stronger and stronger. She knew calling for help would get her nowhere, and didn’t want to give the chance to Sierra to humiliate her further. But at the same time urinating herself would be far more humiliating.

A few hours or a few minutes later, Raquel didn’t really know, she started panicking. She had tried calling, but as expected no one had answered. Trying to keep as much dignity as she could she attempted to turn away from the camera and pull down her pants in a discreet manner.. Unfortunately the shackles that bound her arms far above her head and her legs tightly in a sitting position to the floor didn’t allow much movement.

She could feel her heart speeding up along with her breath, and a few tear making their way to the corner of her eyes. Stabbing pain was ripping her bladder apart, she could not think of anything expect the desperate need to relieve herself.

Raquel felt the first few droplets escaping, then knew it was too late to do anything about it. She felt like a child, tears running down her face and sitting in her soaked pants. Her mind was already picturing the victorious grin that would be decorating Sierra’s face.

Of course, it was at that moment that the door slammed open. Raquel blinked at the blinding brightness to burning her eyes in an attempt to recognize the silhouette entering the cell.

“Can’t even leave you ten minutes before making a mess. You never learn.” breathed the person that was now closing the door behind them and turning the light inside the cell on. Raquel’s eyes widened in recognition.

The taunting face that still haunted her nightmares was now facing her, a wicked grin on its lips.

“Missed me that much?” Chuckled Alberto.

“Wha- what are you doing here?”

A laugh escaped her ex husbands throat.

“Did you honestly believe that you’d get to kidnap my daughter and not face any consequences ?” He leaned his body towards Raquel’s. “Paula needs her father, and here you decided you knew better and you’ve put her in terrible danger now. How did that turn out?”

“What are you doing here?” Insisted Raquel, hiding the trembling of her voice “you’re in the scientific right? You shouldn’t be interrogating me”

“Oh dear you’ve become that stupid haven’t you? This is no interrogation love, this is you becoming our informer about the Professor’s plan. And given our... history together, the Inspectora believed I’d be much better placed to force some sense into you.”

Raquel’s entire body shuddered. During that glorious year she was living with Sergio in the Philippines, she had managed to forget Alberto, or at least bury him in such depth in her mind that he wouldn’t bother her again. But now, seeing him standing in front of her once again, untended wounds fought their way back to the surface. All of a sudden, Raquel remembered why she used to need antidepressants to survive and had at least an anxiety attack per day.

This bode nothing good.

Min Yoongi Fics Recommendation

Recent update 200125

[ ❥ ] = Favorite

Kim Namjoon — Kim Seokjin — Jung Hoseok — Park Jimin — Kim Taehyung — Jeon Jungkook

You meet the mysterious Yoongi at a house party and no matter how uninterested you tell yourself that you are, you can’t say no to him. Can you end up changing his playboy ways, or will you just end up getting hurt?

Yoongi can’t remember the last time he was able to successfully bring himself to the point of orgasm, then Namjoon gives him a business card advertising ‘Healing Hands’, and that’s where he meets you; pretty and innocent looking, who gets paid to provide hand jobs for a living.

Min Yoongi is forbidden territory. And although you both know better, the two of you just can’t seem to stay apart.

♠ Punch Drunk; boxer! au, smut, angst Min Yoongi talks with his fists, and the only language he knows is one of anger and pain. He’s damaged, untouchable, a boxing underdog with something to prove. You are the sister of Yoongi’s rival - Jeon Jungkook, the number one elite boxer in your prefecture - and as Yoongi soon discovers, you are also his one and only weakness.

[ ❥ ] Playing with Fire; smut, angst, romance part 1 | part 2 | part 3 | part 4 | part 5 | part 6 | part 7 | part 8 finale After breaking up with you, you decide the only way to get back at your -now ex-boyfriend and avoid public humiliation is by making a deal with resident bad boy Min Yoongi: you’ll give him money as long as he pretends to be your new boy.

[ ❥ ] Ink; tattoo artist! au, fluff, angst He’s a tattoo artist, and you’re a student who is working towards getting into your favourite universities. Two very different people, and two parents who think Min Yoongi is nothing more than a bad influence. How will you ever make it work?

♠ Forget Me Not; idol! au, fluff, angst You and Yoongi are in a private relationship. So private, that Yoongi has to deny it. What happens when you can’t take the denying of such strong feelings any more?

♠ I’ll Protect You; angst You and Yoongi were the most unlikely of pairs, which was why you decided to keep your relationship on the down-low for now. Whilst Yoongi and you basically ignore each other during school hours, Yoongi is left in the dark about the struggles you’ve been dealing with whilst he is pretending not to know you.

♠ Too Late to Apologize; angst You were dating for three years and what you wanted most was being able to take care of him. But Yoongi was too busy with his job to realized that he was losing you.

♠ Let You Go; angst part 1 | part 2 finale Having a boyfriend who cares is every girl’s dream. But is it still every girl’s dream when he doesn’t care about you as much as he cares about his friend that he was in love with? No, not really. It was more like a nightmare.

♠ Leaving Her Behind; angst part 1 | part 2 finale He would do nothing but push you away. He would push you away everytime you were too close. He would shut you out everytime you thought that he had opened up for you. He never trusted you enough to let you know him. He didn’t let you know his problems, even if you knew that something was bothering him.

Winter Break (Redone) Chapter 14 (Friskriel Fanfic)

Notes: I apologize again for the spoilers but someone nearly gets killed and experiences PTSD flashbacks again. Sorry, this is just a really angsty part of the story. Credit to @thunders29 for proofreading.

Chapter Summary: Frisk and Asriel try to give their speech to the town, but not everyone is there to listen to them. 2491 Words

Chapter 14: Showtime

Frisk peeked out from behind the curtain of the outdoor stage. In front of them stood a crowd of humans, monsters, and various little animals. Almost the entire town of Ebott was here, as well as a few people from Olympia who decided to attend the event. Frisk could feel themselves getting sick with stage fright, and they began to shake nervously until they felt someone tap their shoulder. Frisk whipped around to find Asriel standing behind them, a worried look on his face.

“Hey Frisky, you ok?” The boss monster asked. “You don’t look too excited. Stage fright?”

“Y-yeah…” Frisk admitted.

“Why’s that? Aren’t you used to publicly speaking in front of a crowd of people?”

Frisk sighed. “Yeah, I am, but it’s not that. I’m just… Worried that something will go wrong, I guess. Gillian’s words are still haunting me.”

Asriel wrapped his arms around Frisk, who leaned back in return. He held them tight as he gave a few kisses to the top of their head.

“Don’t you worry about it Frisk.” Asriel reassured. “We got the old Royal Guard here, including Sans and Papyrus. They’ll be scanning the entire area for anything suspicious or dangerous, you have nothing to worry about.”

Frisk wanted to believe their boyfriend, but the nagging words in the back of their head kept telling them otherwise. They were honestly surprised to see Asriel so confident. Usually it was Frisk reassuring him about events like speeches or performances, but they supposed he was trying to return the favor.

Frisk was also rather surprised with how dedicated Asriel was to actually doing this speech. When the two of them were writing the first few drafts of the speech, Asriel had been the first to write at least three drafts before Frisk could even write one. Each one he wrote had been well done, addressing both sides of the issue and explaining his side with all the rhetorical devices. However, something was just missing in each speech, and it wasn’t until Frisk finished their own first draft that Asriel figured it out: it didn’t have Frisk’s voice.

Once the couple realized what they were missing, the rest of the writing process went smoothly. They created only a few more drafts together before they finally decided on a single one. It brought out emotional, economical, and logical reasons to accept Human-Monster relationships, as well as addressing several counter-arguments. It didn’t sound like just Asriel or just Frisk, it sounded like an experienced politician instead of two teenagers in love. They ran it through with both Asgore and Toriel, and they agreed that it was the best speech they’ve heard in a long time.

Now it was time to actually put the speech to the test, and Frisk almost lost all their confidence. However, being in Asriel’s embrace reminded them that all the nerves will be worth it if they get to stay with him. They weren’t doing this just for the future of monsterkind, they were doing it for their future. Frisk was allowing themselves to be somewhat selfish for once, and a weight that had been pushing them down was slowly being finally lifted.

Frisk was brought out of their thoughts as they heard Mayor Downe begin talking. They quickly turned around and kissed Asriel, grabbing onto him for dear life during the kiss.

“Showtime.” Asriel whispered as the mayor announced their names.

This was it. This was the moment Frisk and Asriel had been waiting for. No turning back now. They stepped out from backstage and walked to the podium, greeted with applause from the crowd. They both waved, and once the crowd calmed down, Frisk cleared their throat and began speaking.

“Ladies, Gentlemen, and Non-Binaries, thank you for coming here today.” They began. “Today I would like to talk about the laws regarding relationships between monsters and humans. For over five years, monster-human relations have brought so many wonderful things to the entire world, however in spite of all this, tetraphobia continues to grow.”

The audience murmured a bit, some murmurs of approval, and others of disgust. When they settled down, Frisk continued.

“It is because of this that I wish to talk to you about passing and supporting another law to help bring more peace to this country. Granted, it will have to start here in Ebott and Olympia, but eventually we hope to make it a passed law in the entire United States, and eventually the world. That law I would like to talk to is one, once again, involving human-monster relations, specifically romantic and sexual relatio-”

A loud sound rang out and Asriel froze. He had been having this dreadful feeling of this entire scenario looking familiar, but he wasn’t sure why until now. It hit him like a hurricane, realizing that this was almost exactly like the nightmare he had after he had gotten drunk. Everything was the same, except the sound he heard.

The loud sound that rang out was not the gunshot of a bullet aiming to hit Frisk nor Asriel. It was a howl, a deep but very loud howl that belonged only to Doggo, signaling an alarm for the rest of the Royal Dogs. Soon, the crowd began to spread outward, revealing exactly what was going on to Asriel and Frisk’s eyes. Within the now open space was Doggo, flanked by Greater Dog and the Dogi, restraining another human. Within the human’s hand was a shiny desert eagle pistol, and it wasn’t until the hood the human was wearing was taken off that anyone recognized them. Once they did, Asriel and Frisk both gasped.

“G-Gillian!?”

Sure enough, the girl’s red hair and round glasses were exactly those of Frisk’s ex-friend. The rest of the Royal Dogs now surrounded her, as well as Sans and Undyne. Sans restrained her soul, same as he did a couple days prior, and the Dogi took the gun from her hands. Everyone else in the crowd kept murmuring stuff, some running away from the scene, others jeering either Gillian or the monsters. Surprisingly, there was no panic and no fights, everyone just seemed to be in shock, but no one was more shocked than Asriel.

Frisk looked over at their boyfriend, and their heart skipped a beat when they saw the look on his face. They’ve been told stories of how it looked whenever Asriel was having a really bad flashback from their parents, but they never wanted to actually see it. Unfortunately, that’s exactly the look Frisk saw. Asriel’s eyes were dilated, the pupils small, and his breathing was rapid and growing increasingly faster as sweat began to pour down his face. Greater Dog and Lesser Dog came up to the couple to escort them out, but Frisk acted quickly and stopped both of them from touching Asriel.

“Wait!” They warned. “Don’t touch him, you’ll make him freak out more.”

Thankfully, both the dogs listened and stopped. Frisk tried to think fast to get Asriel back to normal, but their own shock and adrenaline was keeping them from thinking straight. Out of options, they walked up to Asriel and hugged him gently but tightly. This had worked back in Hot Topic with Frisk, so they hoped it worked just as well with Asriel.

Once Gillian had been properly restrained, Undyne began watching the spectacle that was happening back on the stage. She was relieved to see that the couple were safe and being guarded by the two dogs, but annoyed that they haven’t already left the scene to real safety. She then looked over to the side, noticing one of the various cameras around the area was pointed directly towards them. That annoyed her even more, so she summoned one of her spears and flung it directly towards the camera, thankfully hitting the off switch instead of the camera itself. The cameraman looked over to her in disbelief, and Undyne replied with a head shake and a snarl.

“The world doesn’t need to see that.” She mumbled to herself.

Thankfully, no one had to see the couple in such a vulnerable state much longer. Slowly, Frisk’s hug took effect, and Asriel began to regain a grasp on reality. His pupils returned to normal as he frantically began looking around. Once he spotted Frisk hugging him, Asriel’s breathing slowed down. He wrapped his arms around Frisk tightly. This time it was his turn to hold onto them for dear life as he began to sob into their shoulder.

“O-oh Frisk!” He cried. “Oh my g-gods, I-I can’t believe y-you almost died ag-gain I-I’m so s-sorry I’m s-such a bad-”

“Sh, Asriel.” Frisk cooed softly. “It’s alright. It wasn’t your fault.”

Frisk looked around. Anyone who wasn’t looking at Gillian was looking at the couple, and Frisk decided they made enough of a scene. They tapped on the crying teen’s shoulder to get his attention.

“Let’s go home.” They offered, to which Asriel nodded quickly.

—

Ten minutes after the attempted murder, both the Ebott and Tumwater police force arrived to take Gillian. She didn’t go without a fight, nearly biting off the hands of one of the officers and breaking the wrist of another. Sans decided he would go with them in order to make sure Gillian didn’t try anything else.

During that time, Frisk and Asriel made their way back home, escorted by Greater and Lesser Dog. Asriel kept on crying in relief, grasping Frisk’s hand tightly the entire way. Both the dog monsters kept a good eye on the couple, their normal canine instincts seemingly forgotten. Frisk was surprised to see them so serious, but they assumed Mettaton or Undyne had trained them well enough. Since the walk was long and quiet save for Asriel’s sniveling, Frisk took a moment to assess what just happened.

Assassination attempts were surprisingly rare when it came to Frisk. There was maybe one or two, but most of the time, people were too afraid of Sans to even attempt at anything. He made a good bodyguard, and with the increased security during the speech, no one should have even thought about trying to kill Frisk. It just didn’t make sense to them, so why would Gillian do it?

Frisk sighed. They supposed there was something deep within Gillian that they didn’t know about that made them end up like this. They missed those days the first year they came back, meeting Gillian for the first time in the elementary school. Frisk already sensed that they weren’t normal, but then again neither were they, so they took it as a good sign, and the two became friends quickly. Now that Frisk thought back, there were signs of Gillian’s psychotic nature, with constant twitching, staring off into space with creepy faces plastered on her, and sometimes whispering something indecipherable. Gillian was also very nervous whenever she talked to a lot of people, but she was never quite so nervous with Frisk for some reason. It just made absolutely no sense.

Frisk began to get frustrated at solving this trivial puzzle, so they shook their head and instead focused on Asriel. At this point, they couldn’t really feel their hand, so they leaned against him in hopes of him loosening his grip. He looked down at Frisk and smiled, planting a kiss on the top of their head as a few more tears fell down. He wasn’t sobbing quite as harshly now thankfully.

The small group arrived at the Dreemurr’s home quickly afterwards. Frisk opened it with their free hand, and they were almost immediately greeted with hugs from their parents. Toriel and Asgore both surrounded their children, hugging them like they were about to disappear from their lives. Their tears mimicked those of Asriel’s, and the young teens couldn’t help but cry alongside their parents. It was a huge relief to see both of them physically unharmed.

“O-oh my children!” Toriel cried. “Thank gods you’re safe.”

“We’re sorry, we should’ve been there.” Asgore apologized. “We just saw the news. Neither of you are hurt, are you?”

“N-no, we’re fine.” Frisk explained, feeling themselves being strangled. “M-mom, please, can’t breathe.”

Toriel listened to them and loosened her grip, but she continued to hug Frisk for a little while longer. Once the hug fests were over, Toriel and Asgore both thanked the dogs and gave them some bacon as a reward. Once they were gone, Asriel and Frisk made their way onto one of the living room’s couches as Toriel and Asgore shuffled into the kitchen. The couple got comfortable under one of the blankets as the parents brought in both slices of pie and some tea. The teens took the refreshments gratefully, glad to still be around to even eat them. As they ate, Toriel and Asgore took spots on the adjacent couch so they could talk.

“So what exactly happened?” Asgore asked. “W-we had only just heard about someone trying to… K-kill you two when we got home.”

Asriel swallowed his bite before talking, Frisk still taking their time chewing.

“W-well, everything was going fine.” He explained. “Frisk gave the speech elegantly, and everything was going well, until…”

“Gillian tried to shoot us.” Frisk finished in a whisper. Asriel looked at them surprised, but he nodded in agreement. Hearing Gillian was the cause of their troubles again infuriated Toriel.

“Where is that bitch now?” Toriel cursed, surprising the other three.

“The police took her,” Asriel explained. “And Sans went with them to keep her restrained. Hopefully, she gets what she deserves for causing this much trouble.”

Frisk tried to agree with him, but they just couldn’t let go of their past memories with Gillian. It was just like them to be so willing to give mercy to someone who tried to kill them, but they kept these thoughts to themselves. They took a swig of their tea before placing both it and the rest of their pie down.

“I-I think I’m gonna go take a nap.” Frisk announced.

“Sleep here, with your brother.” Toriel said.

“We’ll put the leftovers in the fridge.” Offered Asgore. “If you need us, we’ll be in our room. Do you two need anything else before we go?”

“No thanks. Thank you both for everything you’ve done.” Asriel replied. The parents nodded and made their way out of the living room. Once the couple was alone, Frisk curled up into a hug-cuddle with Asriel. Suddenly, they began to cry, and Asriel slowly began to rub their back as they did.

“Goddamnit!” They squeaked. “W-we were s-so close! W-why did she have to b-be such a… A… J-just why?”

“I don’t know, Frisky.” Asriel responded. “But as long as you’re still alive, that’s all that matters to me right now. C’mon, we had a rough time, let’s try to get some sleep.”

“Y-yeah, ok. Hey Azzy?”

“Yes, dear?”

“I love you.”

Asriel smirked and kiss their forehead. “Love you too. Sweet dreams.”
