ALSO: All awards do take time to make, with several hours in photoshop each, including researching comments to include and final GIF creation. Announcing early so I can prepare and accept any missed nominations or new works that should be considered since last round, but cannot guarantee that new nominations this round will make it into this award season! New award winners will still be allowed to nominate with a guarantee of award (at some point) to their chosen recipient. 💌 Thank you for understanding!!! xoxo - Liri

Power couple
Pairing: Owen Power x Reader
Word count: 770
Category: fluff
Summary: You and Owen get your aceptance letter from team Canada to participate in the 2022 Bejing Olympics.
Warnings: none
Requested: Yes/No
Note: Obviously I’ve never gotten the offer to participate in the Olympics so this is not entirely accurate but I hope it won’t bother anyone. Please send in requests of what you want me to write for this Olympics blurb series. I hope you enjoy this.
Masterlist
Tumblr media
“Babe, have you gotten yours yet?” Owen asked from beside you while desperately refreshing the page on his computer.
“Not yet. I’m sure they will come soon though.” You answered him while looking at the clock ticking down to midnight. Both you and Owen were waiting to see if you’ve made the Olympic roster of 2022. You for figure skating and him for hockey.  The nerves were unbearable and you could feel your heart beating in your chest. The clock was ticking slowly, the seconds felt like hours and you were furiously staring at the seconds tick by, willing time to move faster.. 
“C’mon” You whispered under your breath while waiting impatiently. You felt Owen reassuringly take your hand in his big one to try and calm you down. The calluses from his hockey stick were prominent in his palm but to you it still felt as soft as silk.
You turned your head to your boyfriend who was staring at you with a loving gaze. His hazel eyes were fixated on you, conveying all that he wanted to say in a single look, telling you everything would be fine. You gave him a small smile and he returned it. 
The clock struck midnight and your gaze instantly averted towards your laptop that was sitting on the kitchen table. 
“It’s here!” You exclaimed. Owen, who was still staring at you, turned towards his computer and refreshed the page one last time.
“It is.” He answered while trying to contain his nerves and excitement.
“Should we open it on three?” You asked him, your leg bouncing.
“Relax, I’m sure you will get in.” He put his hand on your thigh to stop the bouncing. You stopped for a second and looked at him once more. He was still staring at you with that adoring look in his eyes. You leaned in for a quick kiss and you felt your nerves melt away when your lips met. When you pulled away you saw him visibly relax as well.
“Alright, are you ready?” You breathed out. He nodded his head and turned his focus to the screen while you did the same.
“One… two…three…” You counted down together. Both of you hit “open” at the same time and quickly skimmed the message. 
‘It’s with great pleasure we welcome you to the 2022 Olympic women's single skating team.’
The moment you read it your heart leaped out of your chest with happiness. You wanted you to jump up and down with joy but you didn’t. You were afraid to celebrate in case Owen didn’t get in. Slowly you turned to him with a neutral expression. He also seems like he wanted your reaction before he said anything.
“Did you get it?” You asked with a shaky voice.
“Yeah, you?” He breathed out quietly.
“I did.” You answered just as quietly. Suddenly, before you could process what happened you were being lifted up in the air in a hug by your 6’6 feet tall boyfriend.
“We did it baby!” He exclaimed while excitedly spinning you around. Reality hit you like a ton of bricks, both you and Owen were going to the olympics together. You started to laugh in both happiness and disbelief. This had been your dream since you were 5 years old and now it was reality and not only that but you would have your amazing boyfriend right by your side throughout all of it.
“We are olympians, Owen!” You squealed as he hugged you tighter than ever before.
“Yes we are!” He answered just as excited as you were. He gently put you down and you found it sweet that even with all the excitement bubbling in him, your giant of a boyfriend was still treating you like a porcelain doll.
“I can’t believe we did it.” You said in disbelief. He immediately lifted your chin to look up at him. You met his eyes and felt butterflies erupt in your stomach. It was amazing how even after two years together he still managed to make you feel like you had a big fat crush on the boy who sat beside you in your English class.
“Of course you did, baby. You are the most talented, hard working and wonderful woman in the entire world. They would be stupid not to have you.” He told you. Your eyes filled with happy tears as you took in his words. 
“I love you.” Was all that came out as you answered with a voice thick of emotion.
“I love you too, Y/N, so much.” He answered and pulled you in for yet another kiss.

4.92 ⭐ / 5 ⭐
WELCOME BACK SONSHINE!!!!! love u babe missed u, ur so hot, and i refuse to acknowledge what your arrival back on the roster did :) if i dont think about it it cant hurt me. and ofc kisses for oshbabe, protas, and mantha (? still cant believe it) too. darcy u were fucking aces in net, and carly thank u for sacrificing ur body for these 2 points. this was a tasty game. i took off 0.8 points bc no ovi goal :( but a win is so rare that its still delicious. yknow, if this team cant be decent gmbm will be selling off big time at the deadline, so they need to keep playing like this if they dont want their friends executed sold. and finally it looks like they're starting to understand that? hopefully? hey its still 2 points keep this rolling babes.

Hello! I'm new on Tumblr and I recently saw your answer to the 'honesty' bit and I was wondering about why the reblog system sucks? If you could please educate me, lol
also, can I be 🌙 anon?
Ofc babe, welcome to the anon roster!!
I said that the reblog function sucks because it's really the only way for your fics to get noticed most of the times. Tumblr tags CAN be helpful but they just don't work sometimes which means they don't show up on the main feed aka no new interaction at all which can really discourage writers, ESPECIALLY the new ones. I know that my works will receive some notes because I have 11k followers but what about the people who are starting fresh, who NEED the interactions but no one is reblogging their stuff which is a problem!
I hope this makes sense?!

Welcome to your summer job at Fazbitch Entertainment~!
As the blog visitor, your jobs for the day are simple, and can be boiled down to rules. 1. This is an NSFW roleplay blog based on Five Nights at Freddy's. Don't like what you see? Block us and move on. 2. As the visitor, you do NOT get to decide in what direction the story goes, though you can make adjustments to YOUR characters. All Fazbitch Entertainment brand sexbots have pre-programmed personalities and stories, and we'd really rather you not ruin that. 3. The current timeline is as follows: 1983 (Wet Dream House & Francinabare's Night Club/FNaF 4), 1985 (Circus Babe's Adult Entertainment & Adult Party Rentals/Sister Location), 1987 (New & Improved Francisca Fazbitch's Strip Club/FNaF 2), 1993 (Francisca Fazbitch's Strip Club/FNaF 1), 2023 (Fazbitch's Sex Cult: The Whore Attraction/FNaF 3), Fall, Unknown Year (Francisca Fazbitch's Strip Club Place/Pizzeria Simulator), Unknown Date (Second Circle of Hell/Ultimate Custom Night), 2029 (Francisca Fazbitch's Virtual Reality Porn Game/FNaF VR: HW), 2035 (Francisca Fazbitch's Nudist Shopping Mall/Security Breach), 2036 (Abandoned Francisca Fazbitch's Nudist Shopping Mall/Security Breach: Ruin). Please don't hesitate to tell us the years specific games in the FNaF franchise are claimed to take place during, we'd love to add more to the roster. 4. As the blog visitor, you have the choice to oblige this rule list. However, failure to follow the rules will get you banned from Francisca Fazbitch's Strip Club, and your job will be terminated. Please keep this in mind when interacting, and make sure to follow the rules. 5. If we don't like what you're attempting to do to any of the characters, roleplay or otherwise, we reserve the right to kick you out of the building and terminate your job. We don't want another incident like in '83 with Francinabare... (How did she even get so coated!?) 6. Being an NSFW take on Five Nights at Freddy's, expect darker, more depraved erotic elements. If you still choose to engage with us, then thank you for your time. 7. Spinoff games WILL NOT be counted for the story. On the off chance that a spinoff character appears in a canon game (Such as Dee Dee appearing in Ultimate Custom Night), we will only take into consideration the character's appearance in canon games. This is to avoid a complicated and confusing timeline because WHERE WOULD WE EVEN FUCKING PLACE TOTEM PANIC AND LOVETASTE TOY CHICA. 8. On the off chance that a character from the books appears in the games (For example, Charlotte Emily appearing in Pizzeria Simulator), we may use their book appearance for their artwork, but only take into account their roles in the games. Adding book characters to this would just complicate the timeline, which we want to avoid. 9. Any and all roleplays with tragedies in them will be marked with trigger warnings dedicated to the tragedy at play. Did a sexbot end up raped? TW: Rape would be a fitting trigger warning. Did a character end up dead? TW: Death would be a fitting trigger warning. You get what I mean? You'd better, because we're not repeating this. Thank you for choosing Fazbitch Entertainment, and we hope to see you real soon. -Founder Henrietta Emily
-Co-Founder Willow Afton

Less of the Worst Reasonable Request by Buffalo Bills
Slightly fewer crummy occurrences count as a blessing.  Those enduring travails may wish for more positive developments, but life’s victims rarely get a vote.  The Buffalo Bills just want 2023 to be tough under normal parameters.  Last season featured alarming adversity even by this franchise’s melodramatic standards.  Nothing would feel welcome like athletic stress on its own.
I don’t want to guess there’ll be less trauma during the upcoming season, as destiny sadistically enjoys being tempted.  An abandoned space station hitting the field seems unlikely.  But I don’t want to tempt the cosmos.  Last year taught us yet another lesson.  The set of circumstances faced last year can be classified as a Threat Level Midnight season.
A franchise best known for woe is proficient at breaking hearts.  But we’re still processing the time of trials. The previous stretch was emblematic even for a club whose season-by-season recap doubles as an emo kid’s diary.
The weather got worse during Western New York winters if you want to summarize how last year went.  Buffalo relocated to Detroit during what we can retroactively label the summery portion.  Conditions that were brutal by blizzard standards led to a surreal residency that seems like something dreamed.
The first ever NFL game that wasn’t finished reflected the new year starting with the toughest trauma yet.  We know the worst way possible to play one fewer than everyone else and never want to demand one ends while in progress again.
There’s never been a roster looked more like it was running on adrenaline fumes.  We can’t entirely blame exhaustion from anguish for a premature playoff exit.  The club looked outfoxed against Cincinnati as a matter of play and strategy.  But weariness from more than one source certainly didn’t help.
Review ordeals therapeutically in order to cope with what’s happened.  Dawson Knox losing his brother was a nightmare that made playoff seeding the least important thing possible.  Summoning the energy to compete feel both arduous and pointless.  Worrying about the well-being of people connected to the franchise is the sort of perspective we wish we didn’t gain.  
It’s tough to work while worried about the boss.  Kim Pegula coping with health issues was the least anticipated injured reserve move.  Fans wish the owner along with hurt players a swift recovery so they can feel at their best again.  Seeing her watch Damar Hamlin practice is doubly remarkable.
Regular injuries seem minor only by comparison as they devastate players and efforts.  The NFL still waiting for a team that hasn’t coped with injuries.  But Buffalo still saw an inordinate number of defensive players sidelined for what’s already this team’s Frank Stallone of aspects.
Calculating their chances in June is as foolhardy as it is understandable.  Trying to not get ahead of oneself is tricky for a sport and team his beloved.  Projections of downfall offer strange comfort as wallowers determine bracing for apocalypse means being prepared.  If alien dinosaurs invade, at least pessimists will have rehearsed the scenario.
The sense the Bills declined even with an impressive record might show factoring in the curse placed on the Bills by a gypsy.  Worst of all, the franchise didn’t even seem to do anything to tempt fate beyond existing.  The Bills didn’t trade Babe Ruth or burn the lease in a trophy bowl. This team merely committed the crime of being in Buffalo.
The Moon hasn’t run into our planet yet, but keep an eye out for werewolves just in case.  The surest way for things to get worse is to proclaim it can’t happen.  The universe is cruel in its sense of humor like that.  Don Rickles was right about everything.  
Still, the cautiously optimistic can anticipate a lack of unfathomable external torment in consecutive seasons.  Last year made Macbeth seem like a Mister Bean short.  The good news is a season with any worse incidents will qualify us for an insurance settlement.
A percentage of football soothsayers have based forecasts on what’s ideally an aberration.  Figuring the the window is closing for the Bills neglects how many catastrophes occurred.  Morrissey reading from the Book of Job would feature less of a gloomy perspective than a recap of 2022.
Any franchise with a remarkable quarterback has a good chance in what we call the Josh Allen factor.  But projections must also account for how many uncommon challenges chose to inflict themselves simultaneously.
Getting used to how much life sucks is the one good thing about withstanding struggles.  There sure seems to be quite a bit of character development.  Waiting for the reward that’s never going to equal the setbacks but may as well be accepted as karma’s consolation prize.
The only option is to persevere.  Existence is not exactly requesting compliance.  The Bills did the best they could during the worst.  Fans can question Sean McDermott’s in-game management while lauding his efforts to lead this franchise through its quest.  Sympathy abounds for a team for coming off a year that felt acutely human.  Hope despite history is our brand.

The course itself is otherwise an everyday ride, but it’s a welcome diversion to have in the mix. It’s fun to maneuver around the train, go through the tunnel, and ride along the tracks. Joe’s take articulates perfectly what makes Kalimari Desert interesting and special: there’s a train in it. “ I liked Kalimari Desert because the train was there.”įrom the mouths of babes. Outside of that, it’s pretty by-the-numbers racing, but a welcome addition that has translated nicely and still holds up, particularly at higher speeds. It is once again wonderfully delivered in this update. The music in this track is unforgettable, and for some of us, it has been chiseled into our Mode-7 minds. It’s simple, very flat, and relatively short, though it does feature some thrilling turns, in particular, a legendary 180° midway through.īut what really makes this one sing like Pauline in New Donk City is the unadulterated sentimentality of being transported back to 1992. Mario Circuit 3 lives and dies based on your nostalgia for SNES tracks, a 30-year-old memory we’re reasonably sure Joe doesn’t share. “What I like about Mario Circuit 3 was that it was short and that Luigi almost won the race.” But who parks their cabs like that? Mario Circuit 3 Image: Nintendo They have their own look and feel, and they don’t always soar to the heights of the main batch, but their distinctive track styles and semi-realistic setting are a welcome change for us hardened Kart enthusiasts. Overall, New York Minute is yet another good pull from the batch of mobile tracks. There’s also a shocking lack of piles of trash, rats, or dollar pizza joints in this imagined New York City, but you do get to speed through scrubbed-down facsimiles of Times Square and Central Park, where the portrayal of wandering Goombas is surprisingly accurate. It doesn’t reach the heights of the previous DLC’s reality-based Paris, but it has a leg-up on too-short Tokyo. Well said, Joe. New York Minute is a fun and colorful addition to the roster of Mario Kart 8 courses, most entertaining when chaining tight turns, but it shows its Mario Kart Tour roots in its brevity and simplicity. “ What I like about New York Minute was that you can go really fast and the it was kind of short. The Turnip Cup begins Wave 2 of the Mario Kart 8 DLC with: New York Minute Image: Nintendo Let’s take a closer look at the Wave 2 DLC from the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass! We thought we’d get Joe’s wise opinions on each of the new tracks for Mario Kart and give you a little perspective of our own. Take some notes, Nintendo, this kid has excellent ideas. If Joe could have anything added to Mario Kart it would be, of course, laser shields. He has several favorite tracks, a standout among them Ninja Hideaway from the last batch of DLC, which he wisely notes he loves because he has, “always wanted to become a ninja.” So have we, Joe. Joe likes to ride in style as the Splat Buggy set up with Leaf Wheels and a Super Glider, and while he typically mains Lemmy, he also loves suiting up his Mii-rider with a specialty Pac-Man helmet, as unlocked by the Pac-Man Amiibo his Uncle gave him. He and Uncle Chris fire up FaceTime and take down two Cups at least once a week, and they eagerly anticipate the arrival of all the new tracks.
#SNOW BROS 2 GAMEBOY PRO#
He turns five in September, and he’s been hopping corners and firing off red shells like a pro ever since racing with his Uncle Chris at his fourth birthday party. Joe has been playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for almost a quarter of his life. That’s why we asked our friend Joe, a 4-year-old Mario Kart enthusiast from Massachusetts, what he thought of the new tracks from the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass Wave 2 DLC. Playing Mario Kart can make you feel like a kid again. We here at Goomba Stomp have our own opinions about the latest Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass DLC tracks, but let’s be honest, what we need in this world is the fresh eyes of a 4-year-old super fan.

“Are you sure that you have everything?” Joel asked for the twentieth time in the past hour, “we can run back to yours if you need anything else”
“I feel like you’re just trying to get me to stay with you longer,” you said, skeptically.
“Is it working?”
“No, Bee, I have to leave at some point,”  you said, putting another bag of yours in his car,”I won’t be gone long.”
“Yeah, but you’ll be closer to the Stars and that has me worried,” he said, causing you to chuckle. 
“You worried about Seggy? Or Roope? Or Big Rig? Or Mi-”
“Okay, I get it.”
“Don’t worry your pretty little head about it, I love you and only you, shawty. Besides, I can only tolerate Texas weather for so long,” you said, leaning up to kiss him on the cheek.
“I love you, too, shawty,” he paused,”Wait,- that was rude.”
After packing the last of your bags into the car, you made your way to the airport to meet Marcus and Michelle. Once you arrived at the airport, Joel parked the car before the two of you headed into the airport. The four of you caught up for a while before Marcus suggested giving you and Joel time to say goodbye. 
“Is this how it feels when me and the guys leave for the road?” Joel asked, softly. 
“Yeah,” you said, smiling sadly. 
“Well, good thing I’m the one on the road all the time, I mean, I don’t like leaving you, but when I’m leaving it’s a different feeling, you know.”
“Well glad it makes you happy, buddy.”
“Did you just buddy me?” Joel asked, incredulously. 
“Did I?” you asked, laughing as Joel gasped in shock.
“Wow, I see how it is. I’ll remember that.”
“Go ahead, babe. Remember it however you want,” you paused when you saw the sad look on his face, reaching to hold his face in your hands, “hey, I’m only a text away, I might not be right here, but I will answer as soon as I can and we’ll facetime as much as you want these next few days.”
Joel nodded before looking up and seeing Marcus and Michelle headed your way, “we hate to cut this short, but we have to get going pretty soon.”
“I know I asked, but do you really have to go?”
“Yeah, Bee, I really have to go.”
“You better kick ass out there or else you’re just leaving for nothing,” he said, jokingly, “but honestly, I wish you the best of luck - I know you don’t need it, but I’ll say it anyway. Make sure to tell Nicole I said good luck and please make sure to wipe that smug look off Kathryn's face. Okay?”
“Yeah, of course,” you said, wrapping your arms around him as he pressed kiss to the top of your head. “I’ll miss you.”
“I’ll miss you, too, but if you don’t go, the only thing you’ll be missing is your flight.”
“Wow, Bee, you are so funny.” 
“Well, one of us has to be the funny one in the relationship. Your mom jokes only get you so far far in life, babe,” he said, causing you to elbow him in the stomach. 
“I’m leaving now. I love you and I will text you when I land,” you leaned up for a quick goodbye kiss before grabbing your carry-on bag and heading to your gate. You avoided looking back, knowing that if you did, both of you wouldn’t let the other leave. 
“I think you chose a good one,” Marcus said once the three of you had sat down. 
“What?” you asked, shocked. 
“Joel. He seems like a good guy. He clearly cares about you and I can see that you care a lot about him, too. He clearly makes you happy,” Marcus added. 
Heat rushed up your face, to which you simply looked out the window, “yeah, he’s a good guy.”
“A cute one, too,” Michelle interrupted. 
“Yes, that too. But Michelle, you better lay off,” the three of you laughed as the flight attendants started to announce the safety procedures for your flight. The three of you did your own thing the rest of the flight: Marcus planning out how podium training would go, Michelle analyzing your routines, and you sleeping.
“Alright, so as soon as we land, we get luggage and go to our hotel. There is a small media event tomorrow morning before podium training, then podium training, then probably some more media. You will have the rest of the night to do whatever, I know you’ll probably go see your Dallas friends and that’s fine, just make it back in time. Then, Friday is the first day of competition, Saturday is the second day, then we have some free time Sunday,” Marcus read off to you, even with you half asleep. 
“Sounds lovely,” you grumbled. 
…..
“So, y/n, with your injury being a top priority, how different have practices been since you are still somewhat in recovery?” one of the journalists asked. You had stayed prepared for a multitude of questions having to do with your injury, so this question had an easy response.
“I would say, it’s definitely a totally new experience. I’ve had to tailor my focus to other aspects of this sport since the start of my recovery, whether that be drills, more conditioning, or changing up my routines. My team and I definitely have figured out what things work and what doesn’t and we continue to learn as I continue training,” you answered, swiftly. 
“Now obviously, you were the highest scorer in most of your competitions, even before your injury, how has competition changed for you? And what has inspired you to train harder?” another journalist asked. 
“I have to say, competition is slightly more nerve-wracking than before. I mean getting injured at a major competition definitely changes perspective for all aspects of it. I feel that I have to be more cautious when performing, whereas before I would just go with the motions. Something that’s inspired me has been that my competitors have continued training, I have a fair amount of competition - all of which are excellent athletes - which has helped motivate me a lot, but I also have an amazing support system back home who have made sure to give me that extra motivation when I need it,” you smiled. 
“Now, having to deal with that support system at home, who and how have they influenced your decisions of your journey through recovery?” which was the first question that made you smile. 
“Well first, a huge shoutout to my family, especially my cousin, Kevin. Without his support, I wouldn’t have ever tried to get back in the gym, he’s been there this whole time and I couldn’t be more grateful. Um, my coaches were so supportive of my comeback; my physical trainor, Adrian, who told me all the doctors were wrong and gave me the reality checks I needed; the whole Philadelphia Flyers roster and their families cheered me on the whole time, especially my boyfriend, Joel Farabee. My friends, my teammates, all of them pushed me where I needed to be,” you said, gratefully. 
“Thank you for your time, y/n. We wish you the best of luck this weekend,” the main announcer said to you before you went off to podium training. 
Marcus and Michelle had both told you only to warm up simplified versions of your routine, so that you could bring shock factor when you were actually performing. You had upgraded almost all of your tumbling back to where it was before injury, but no one needed to know that besides you and those in your gym. Podium training had gone very well, better than you had anticipated, so you were looking forward to how championships would go. 
As you packed up your gym bag and grabbed your phone, you saw all the messages you had from the Flyers group chat you had somehow found your way to. 
Bee: did you guys see that too?
Tiki Bar: if we are talking about the same thing, i think we did.
Patti Lapone: did she actually say nice things about us?
Kev: i really think the texas heat is getting to her already
G: she’s probably just feeling under the weather about competition, otherwise we might want to check if she is okay
Scotty: i think i misheard or i got hit in the head and didn’t realize it
Frosty: hell has frozen over
Bee: haha. frost. frozen. get it
Tiki Bar: beezer. 
G: i’ll make you do laps if you make another frost joke
Laughing at the texts in the group chat in reaction to your interview, you simply typed up a simple response: this is what i get when i’m nice, now you know why i’m not like this all the time. 
Luckily for you, you didn’t have to do any media after podium training, so you were able to leave whenever you wanted to. After checking with Marcus and Michelle, you made sure it was alright that you went off to go see Tyler and the rest of the guys. Assuming that they would be at practice, after changing out of your leo, you took the drive to the Stars practice facility.
Having come to Fort Worth so much for gymnastics and Dallas for a few hockey games, you had run into some of the Stars roster on multiple occasions. By the third time you had ran into them, and this time ran into was a very literal statement, you had exchanged social medias and most of the roster kept an eye out for any updates in your gymnastics career. During your recovery, the whole team constantly asked for updates about how you were and how gymnastics was going. 
Once you parked, you quietly made your way inside - not wanting to interrupt the practice. There were a few officials walking around, but most either paid you no mind or recognized you from times before you had been here. Walking towards the rink, your eyes settled on the boys doing laps for the last part of practice. It wasn’t until most of the guys were only talking and about to get off the ice that they noticed you. 
Tyler was the first to notice you, smiling and waving towards you, which caused most of the team to follow where he was looking and notice you. As the team headed to the locker room to change, you simply waited on one of the benches for them.
“I feel like you only came all this way to see my dogs,” Tyler said, making his way towards you. 
“No, I would never do such a thing, I obviously came here to say hi to you,” you stood up to give him a hug. 
“Mhm, whatever you say. Didn’t you have podium training today? How’d it go?”
“Well, it went pretty well actually. I did a few of my dismounts, but kept most of my landings safe just to be careful. But other than that everything went well.”
“As long as you kick ass tomorrow, I’m fine,” he said, honestly, “do you have anything else to do for the rest of the day or did you just come to say hi?”
“Well, I have no plans for the rest of the day, but I don’t want to intrude on any team plans.”
“You know you would never be intruding on anything with us, even if you are dating a Flyer,” Jamie O said from behind you. 
“God, Jamie, what the fuck? Where’d you come from?”
“Your mom’s house,” he said, earning a fist bump from Tyler. 
“I can’t even be upset, that was a good one,” you smiled as Jamie hugged you,”and don’t bring Joel into this.”
“My condolences.”
“Condolences? No one died?” you questioned.
“You are dating someone that plays for the Flyers,” Tyler said. 
“Damn, that’s harsh,” you replied. 
“Anyways, moving on. Me and a few other guys were coming over to mine for lunch and to hangout, if you want to come you are welcome to,” Tyler said to which you simply nodded. 
“Is that who I think it is?” another familiar voice rang out, causing you to whip your head around to see Roope and Jake heading your way. 
“Well, if you thought it was me, then you would be correct, my friend,” you retaliated. 
“I’m surprised they let you in here, considering you are dating a Flyer,” Otter said, jokingly. 
“Quit bringing the fact that I’m dating Bee into the conversation.”
“At least Nicole is in the safe zone,” Roope said, causing your eyes to widen, “y/n. What was that?”
“What was what?” you questioned as Roope simply narrowed his eyes.
“You did the thing.”
“What are you talking about, bestie?” 
“Oh, you have a habit of your face changing when you know something that will ruin the whole perspective or something or if you know a secret that will change the entire story. Very entertaining and concerning that you didn’t know,” Tyler added. 
“Um, well, didn’t expect to be psychoanalyzed by a bunch of hockey players today, but here we are.”
“Ok, I think we should head to mine and then, we can continue psychoanalyzing you,” Tyler suggested to which you all agreed. Roope, who had gotten a ride from Tyler in the morning, immediately hopped into your car as soon as you unlocked it. 
“What’s up with Nicole?” he asked as soon as you started driving. 
“What happened to hello? How are you?” you joked. 
“Listen, I’m asking now because I don’t want to talk about this with the guys there. But what did you mean?” he said, causing you to take a deep breath. It wasn’t like Roope and Nicole were ever together, but it was always an unspoken fling of sorts, that they never made official. 
“Look,-”
“Please, just tell me what’s happening,” he pleaded.
“Nicole and Nolan are sort of together,” you rushed out, causing a moment of silence to break out. You didn’t know what to expect as a reaction, considering they weren’t official and hadn’t really talked since the last time you and her were in Texas.
“Is she happy?” 
“Yeah, she’s happy.”
“Okay, that’s all I care about,” he said simply, which made your heart almost break for one of your closest friends. 
…..
Being able to spend time with some of your close friends that you hadn’t seen in a while was just what you needed to destress about championships. Maybe an intense game of uno with five of the most competitive people was exactly what some might call a destressor, but here you were. 
Tyler threw down his cards as he stood up dramatically, “no, because there is no way that a.) she already has an uno and that b.) all of you used your draw two cards against me.”
“Don’t be upset, Ty, that’s just how the game of uno is sometimes,” you replied, hiding a laugh. 
“Oh, shut up. I think you guys cheated,” Tyler accused. 
“I think you just don’t know how to play uno,” Jamie mumbled.
“Oh, yeah, real funny. I think you all teamed up against me and Jake dealt that way on purpose.”
“And we all think, you just can’t accept a loss in uno,” Roope added. 
“Fine, let’s settle this like men,” Tyler grabbed all the cards, attempting to shuffle them before accepting he couldn’t shuffle and handing them over to you to shuffle, “I’m watching you.”
“Oh, wow, so scared,” quickly shuffling them, doing a little bit more than usual to get Tyler off your case, you handed them back to him, “there you go.”
Another final round of uno, which ended up with you and Roope head to head as far as who would win, while Tyler had ended up with at least 15 cards to which Jamie was the first to speak up, “I think we should end here before someone gets hurt.”
“No, no, we’re fine. It’s fine. y/n, take your turn,” he said, eyes narrowing as he watched from beside you. Even if it was your last card, you dropped the draw 4, which made Tyler draw more cards. 
“Damn, that sucks,” you said, hiding a laugh. 
“What was that, y/n?” Tyler said.
“I said, damn, that sucks,” you repeated, watching Tyler closely as he stood up quickly once again, before practically chasing you. “Tyler, it’s just uno. Stop chasing me.”
“Oh, wow, ‘damn, that sucks’” Tyler mocked. 
As the other three watched, Jamie just grabbed the bowl of popcorn as they watched their friends running around chasing each other. “I see why we don’t play uno much,” Jake said. 
“Yep. Exactly. But no one listened when I advised against it,” Jamie said, taking a drink of his beer. 
“Tyler, watch yourself,” you said, as he stood on the opposite side of the couch. He started running one way, as you ran the other to avoid him, but he quickly sidestepped and caught up to you. Practically throwing you over his shoulder, he made his way out to the pool, “Tyler, let’s not do anything crazy here.”
“Oh, you mean like hold a draw four card until the end of the game,” Tyler said, as he tossed you into the deep end of his pool. 
“Children. Literal children,” Roope said, shaking his head, going to grab you a towel. 
Rising up from the water and quickly moving the hair out of your face, you swam over to where Tyler was, “hey, can you help me out?”
“Nah, I’m not falling for that one,” he stated. 
“Seriously, I won’t do anything right now, I promise,” you said, as you saw him reach his arm out to which you quickly grabbed and stood out of the pool. Walking towards Roope, who had grabbed you a towel, you turned back around to see Tyler still walking near the pool. Using this to your advantage, you ran and pushed Tyler into the pool. “Sorry, bestie,” you said, running to get the towel from Roope and running back in the house. 
After getting changed into one of Tyler’s extra shirts he had lying around, you were just hanging out with the guys when a familiar contact flashed on the screen to FaceTime, Jake who was right next to you immediately noticed, “ooh, better go talk to your man, y/n.”
“Shut the literal fuck up,” you called back, standing up to go the kitchen for privacy. Answering, you noticed that Joel was at Nolan and Kevin’s apartment, “were you that lonely without me, babe?”
“No, well maybe, but I’m helping them set up for the watch party tomorrow,” Joel said, taking a seat at their kitchen island, “how’d podium training go?”
“It went really well actually, I didn’t work the 3.5 just so that way I have something over their heads, you know. But other than that, it was all good. How are things at home?”
“Well, I mean no one is dead, which is always good. Um, debated getting a dog, my mom called, I told her about you. Uh, already told you about the watch party. I don’t think anything else interesting happened,” he said, shrugging as if he hadn’t just mentioned bringing you up to his mom. 
“Wait, you told your mom about me?”
“Well, she does follow me on Instagram, so after seeing the post she texted me asking and then she asked while we were on the phone. She wished you good luck, by the way. She’s  also visiting here with my dad in a few weeks and I’d really love it if you would meet them,” he said, shyly.
“Uh, yeah, yeah, of course,” you rushed out, hoping you didn’t sound as nervous as you were. 
“That sounded very unsure.”
“No, it’s fine. I just have never been at the spot in a relationship where I meet the parents, I’m just nervous. I don’t want to mess it up.”
“Babe, my mom already loves you, she was getting on my case about not telling her, but she already thinks very highly of you and I definitely hyped you up a little bit. You have nothing to worry about,” he reassured you, which made you smile. 
“Hey, y/n/n,” Kevin yelled. 
“Hey, Kev.”
“You were very nice in your interview today, it had all of us worried,” Kevin said, which caused you to roll your eyes in response. 
“Hey, I can be nice sometimes.”
“On very rare occasions, yes,” Joel added. 
“Whatever.” As you talked a little while longer with the guys, eventually Roope and Tyler had come in to say hi to everyone as well, which had you dying laughing as both of them gave the ‘you hurt her, we fly to Philly and hurt you’ talk that almost everyone had given him. 
Telling Joel you would call him back whenever you made it back to your hotel, you stayed with the guys for another couple of hours before heading back to your hotel. Nicole had spent most of the day after podium training resting and had met you in the hotel lobby when you got back.  
“So,- “ she didn’t even have to finish her sentence before you knew what she was saying. 
“Roope is doing good, he said he hopes things are going well,” you said, watching as a small smile crept up her face. 
“Well, good to know. Did you know KD is also staying at this hotel?”
“Well, considering this is the host hotel and most competitors are here, I am not all that shocked.”
“Yeah, but you probably didn’t know she’s legit a few rooms away from us, did ya?”
“No, guess not,” you said, “how’d you find that one out?”
“Well, let me set the scene for you. I go to get ice and then I hear her talking with, uh, whatever her name is, Callie or Carly, it starts with a C. Anyways, they were talking about you and me and how our skills have been less than recently and all this stuff about you not catching up to where you were - which I found so fucking funny because who has won gold at the past few meets? Not her. Anyways, all is fair in the sport of gymnastics, but I’m just excited to see her reaction to you doing the 3.5.”
“Damn, no pressure there, Nic.”
“Okay, but the thing is, you have the skill,” Nicole said, as you got into the elevator. “You have it down. It’s all up here, in your cranium,” she said, pointing to your head. 
“Alright, let’s just go to bed now,” you said, slowly removing her hand and opening the door to your hotel room. 
…..
“Hello everyone and welcome to Day One of the 2021 US Gymnastics Championships. We are very excited to see how today’s competition goes as this competition will decide who makes it onto the National Team and who will qualify for Olympic Trials,” Joel heard the announcer say as he made his way to sit with everyone in the living room. 
“Did you talk to her this morning?” Claude asked from beside him. 
“Yeah, usual pre-comp anxieties. Nolan talked to her and Nicole to give the usual pep talk and then we talked for a while on their way to the arena,” Joel answered, looking back to the TV to see you prepping for bars, “she said podium training went well, but Kathryn was talking shit, so all I know is she better kick her ass.”
“You know she will, it happens everytime. She gets in her head and still does amazing, just a casual Tuesday,” Scott added. 
“It’s not Tuesday?” Travis questioned.
“Yes, I know,” Scott said, confusing everyone. 
“Alright, moving on,” Joel reiterated. 
“And starting on bars, we have y/n y/l/n. Now if you remember, less than a year ago, y/n was injured at another competition doing a beam dismount that she might be competing in today’s competition. She is definitely one to watch as she has a reputation of scoring high in these meets, before and after her return. Her teammate, Nicole Carter, will be following up.”
Joel watched as you stepped away from the chalk box to start your routine, he watched intently as you jumped from the springboard to reach the high bar. He watched intently as you went through your routine. Release skills. Giants. Pirouettes. More release skills. More giants. Dismount. Stuck landing. 
“A great start to Day 1 for y/n, who seems pretty proud of how that routine went,” the announcer said, “rotation two will be beam, where we might see that 3.5 twist, which is currently in the process of being named by Kathryn Davis, who was the first to compete it at a major competition. Now the question everyone is wondering is will we see this skill from y/n today?”
“She’s doing it. Fucking dumbass,” Joel grumbled at the announcer. 
“Damn, Beezer, tell them how you really feel,” Travis replied, as everyone else laughed at Joel’s behavior before watching Nicole compete. Nicole’s routine ended with a stuck landing, the camera following her as she made her way off the platform and hugged you before the two of you did your secret handshake.
Knowing the next event was beam, Joel waited as other competitors did their routines as you were warming up. He knew this moment would make or break how the rest of the meet went and with this only being your second event, it needed to go well. 
Everyone watched anxiously as you saluted the judges, shaking your hands out before you reached to mount the beam. You took a deep breath before actually starting your routine. Starting the beginning choreography, you kept your movements sharp and clean. All the skills in your routine were sharp - doing this so if the dismount didn’t go well, it hopefully wouldn’t affect your score too much. 
Joel had memorized your routines, knowing you were approaching your dismount, he saw your movements become slightly hesitant. Watching as you did a quick pivot on the beam to prep for the dismount, he watched you take a deep breath. 
“C’mon, babe. You got it,” he said, and by whatever power was listening he watched your lips twitch up to a smile as you started your dismount. Going for the round-off and starting the twists, you did the three and a half twists, opening up to find your landing, and stuck your dismount. Joel’s smile grew even more when he saw how happy you were with your routine.
The rest of Day 1 of Championships went well for both you and Nicole; the two of you ending in the first and place spot in all around, with Kathryn following close behind. After the competition, both of you had your media conferences before you made your way back to the hotel. As both of you checked your phone, you saw the multiple notifications from various social medias.
“Dude, did you see what Ryanne posted?” Nicole asked, a look on her face that you couldn’t easily recognize. 
“No, hold on,” you opened Instagram to see she had tagged you in multiple posts on her instagram story: starting off with a picture of all the guys wearing a jersey with your and Nicole’s name on it, a picture of all the guys watching warms ups intently, a video of Joel and Travis debating the name of a skill from Nicole’s routine (Travis was right), a video of Joel watching you do your beam routine and cheering you on right as you go for your dismount, and then a video of everyone cheering as you and Nicole as they announced the end of day 1.
…..
After falling asleep with Joel on FaceTime, you woke up to your 6am alarm to get ready for Day 2 of championship, Joel - who had told you he would wake up with you - was still sound asleep. Getting you and Nicole an apple from the lobby, you talked to a few of your competitors and a few fans before heading back to yours and Nicole’s room. 
“Wake up, bitch, it’s Day 2 of Championships,” you said, jumping to lay next to Nicole on her bed.
“Leave me to die here, I don’t want to go. USAG can suck a homeless man’s dick,” she mumbled into the pillow. 
“That’s truly something, wait til the media teams hear about that one,” you joked, only to get a glare sent your way. 
“You know what? You can suck on one, too,” she responded, pulling the blanket over her head. 
“Well at least, there's less competition,” to which she quickly peaked out of the blanket.
“Oh, you wish. We’re neck and neck this time, so we’ll see who gets bragging rights.”
“Well if you don’t get out of bed, then we’ll never know,” you said, to which she only sent a glare your way. 
“Do we really have to get up and compete today? Do you think we could petition to reschedule?”
“I mean, I’m sure if we talked to people, we’d get a lot of signatures, but I don’t think it would go over well,” you said, grabbing your garment bag that held your leo for today, “I’m going to go get ready because I know if we end up talking to Joel and Nolan first, we won’t be ready in time.”
After you got ready, both you and Nicole got your pep talk from Nolan and Bee. On the way to the arena, both of you got a bunch of good luck messages - not just from your friends and family, but also from teammates and even some from most of the Stars roster. You had a feeling in your gut that today would be a good day. 
….. 
“Alright folks, Day 2 of Championships have been off to a great start and are about to come to a close. With Nicole Carter in first with a 57.605 All-Around score and Kathryn Davis in second with a 57.1, Cassie Riley in third with a 56.2, it comes down to the final rotations. y/n y/l/n is one of the last to go on floor today, who will need a score of at least a 13.5 to get first,” the announcer said. 
“And compared to her average score, this will be easily attainable. If she scores at least a 14.5, she’ll be first overall for both days of competition. She already has a for sure spot at Trials, even when you don’t consider scores. As long as she is able to hit all elements of this routine, she’ll be fine,” another announcer said. 
“Ok, you’re good, you just have to hit this routine and there’s no doubt you’ll make it to where you want to be. Deep breaths, Twinkle Toes,” Marcus said. 
Walking up the platform to get up to the floor, you took your spot at the edge of the floor, ready to salute the judge, and get the last meet of championships out of the way. After anxiously waiting, the judge finally saluted. Entering the floor with a determined walk, you took your spot waiting for the familiar sound of your floor music to ring out.
That familiar feeling of doing the sport you loved, once again, rushed through your veins. Block everything out and complete the routine, that’s all you had to do. Going to your starting pose, the music started. Going through the familiar motions of your routine, you stuck your first tumbling pass. Then came the leaps and jump sequence and all that was in between, with the additional three tumbling passes. 
You didn’t give yourself a chance to overthink about your routine, you knew that it wouldn’t benefit you in any way, but as you stepped off the floor you knew that you did what you could. As soon as you made it back to where Marcus and Nicole were sitting, you waited to see what your score was. 
Joel and everyone watching at home watched as you sat down to see what your score was. He had this dopey grin gracing his features from the amount of pride he felt in that moment. He didn’t care what your score was, he knew you had put whatever you could out on the mat. He listened to Travis for a moment until the announcer started up again for scores and awards, “and y/n y/l/n pulled through with the score that she needed, a 14.9 on floor. She placed first in All-Around, Carter following right behind, and Davis in third. If all goes this well at trials, I’d say we have a lot of good representation for the Olympic Games.”
…..
After the meet and countless amount of interviews both you and Nicole were extremely worn out and had both passed out on the flight back. As you and Nicole stepped out of the terminal, you were met with the familiar faces of your friends and family. You smiled as you saw Bee for the first time in a few days and despite how tired you were, you couldn’t stop yourself from running to him. 
He immediately caught you and did the cliche spin (the one you swore you would never do) before pulling you into a regular hug, “I’m so proud of you, babe. You have no idea.”
“Thank you. I surprisingly missed you,” you joked, laughing harder when Joel pulled you away slightly to catch a glimpse of your face. 
“Wow, aren’t I glad I was blessed with such a nice girlfriend? It’s crazy.”
“Absolutely insane.”
“Preposterous.”
“Can the two of you shut the fuck up?” Kevin asked, coming over to give you a hug, “you did good out there, y/n/n. You also kept all your bones intact, I’m proud.”
“Shut the fuck up, Kev.”
“Okay, aside from you getting onto Kev and Bee, I missed you, too,” Karly said from beside Travis. 
“I kinda did, too. You did amazing though, y/n/n. I’m proud,” Travis said. 
“Thank you, thank you. All in a hard day's work,” you said, shrugging. 
“Dude, you might want to go back to Beezer, he looks like a lost puppy watching you talk to us,” Travis pointed out, nodding in Joel’s direction who smiled when you caught his eye. 
“Yeah, not a shocking development,” you said, before walking back in Joel’s direction, “hey, Bee.”
“Hey, honey,” he said, wrapping his arms around you again, “you ready to go home?”
“Yeah, of course,” you leaned up to kiss his cheek. 
“Ew, guys. Get a room,” Kevin called out, fake gagging.

Bitch Fight, Ch.11 (Multi; Adorney) - Lita
Tumblr media
Welcome to the world of Femme Fatale Wrestling. The future is female, and we're here to prove it.
A/N: We're back in the FFW locker room this time, learning what shit is normally like when Adore isn't accidentally winning things and causing chaos. This chapter was fun, I love writing silly little group scenes like this. Enjoy, loves <3<3
******
CHAPTER 11: YOU SUCK
“Did you guys join a cult or something? What the fuck is going on?”
Adore and Bianca step into the locker room to see pretty much everyone sitting in a circle around Gia, who’s cross-legged on the floor with her phone in her hand. This is a little fucking weird.
“Bea, you’re not gonna believe this,” Courtney says, her eyes wide and face a little exasperated.
“What?” Adore looks perplexed - nothing new. In the last few weeks, Bianca had come to recognise that as more-or-less her default expression.
“Some hypermasc dirt sheet found out we exist and wrote this like, huge article shit-talking us.” Laganja explains.
“Makes more sense than my idea,” Bianca shrugs.  “In that scenario, whoever picked Gia as the messiah is stupider than she is.”
“I literally hate you,” Gia flips her off.
“Shut up and listen - it’s actually kinda funny.” Laganja says.
Adore sits down on the floor, leaning against Courtney’s legs as she absently picks at her nails. Courtney trails her fingers through Adore’s hair, the redhead closing her eyes and smiling contentedly. God, the two of them had gotten all touchy-feely real fucking quick.
Gia goes back to reading aloud from her phone.
“‘Let’s talk about the roster - In amongst some of the most un- unmeno…Ganj, what the fuck does that say?”
“Unmemorable,” Laganja clarifies, looking over her shoulder.
“..’.Unmemorable WWE rejects to grace Raw curtain-jerkers in the last fifteen years-‘”
“It was SmackDown.” Dela and Bianca cut in, in unison.
“‘-there’s some interesting names. A personal favourite, Trinity K. Bonet, is the daughter of GLOW’s ‘Welfare Queen’ Latrice Royale; the youngest of Royale’s four kids, who I’m sure all have fantastic relationships with their respective fathers’ - oh-em-gee.“ Gia snorts, clamping a hand over her mouth as she tries to stifle a laugh.
“Bitch, you did not just say that.” Trinity’s face cracks, her brows furrowed.
“-‘and I can only hope that she’s carrying forth her mother’s legacy into the modern age. I’m sure a revival of that gimmick will get her straight into the good graces of today’s PC brigade fan base.’”
“Jesus fucking Christ.” Bianca looks to Trinity, who is sitting stony-faced.
“It’s not any worse than Bill telling me the best way to get over as a heel was to act ‘more ghetto’.” Trinity raises an eyebrow, framing the last two words with an air quotes gesture - her tone flat. “Whatever the fuck he thinks that’s supposed to  mean.”
“Someone else I can’t help but find myself drawn to is a Miss Laganja Estranja - look babe, you're famous.” Gia giggles - Laganja narrows her eyes as she reads onward.  “Laganja Estranja, who is perhaps better-known as Lucy Jackson, the dis…okay, never mind.” Her voice trails off, awkwardly avoiding Laganja’s gaze.
“What?” Ganja looks concerned.
“Nah - nothing. Look, I don’t wanna waste any more of you guys’ time, I just-”
“Give me that,” Laganja snatches the phone from her, reading aloud. “‘Lucy Jackson, the disgraced former amateur wrestler who found the herself at the heart of a major controversy in the lead-up to the 2012 London Olympics when she decided to publicly come out as transgender weeks before the games. Jackson was picked to represent the United States in men’s freestyle wrestling, only to petition to be put on the women’s team after publicly confirming her gender identity’- what the fuck? Bull-fucking-shit,” Laganja looks genuinely hurt, and is doing a bad job of masking it - folding her arms and shrinking into herself.
Dela stands up, taking the phone out of her hand - switching it off and handing it back to Gia. Gia cringes, looking at the floor. “Okay, this was funny for five minutes, but now it’s just getting depressing. The internet is evil - I told you guys not to seek this shit out for a reason.”
“‘Disgraced’ where?” Laganja continues, her voice cracking. “I got disqualified because I’d already started hormones, I don’t know where that shit about me wanting to beat up cis women came from.”
“Probably some shit that the tabloid press made up because they knew it would get clicks,” says Courtney. “Try not to take it personally.”
Laganja shrugs.
“I’d rather he’d just called me a slur.”
“Hold up, you’re trans?” Adore blurts. Bianca elbows her in the ribs. Laganja’s face cracks into a smile.
“What, like you didn’t know that? There’s a reason we were always Jinkx’s favorites.” Gia tosses her hair. Bianca sees Dela’s expression shift a little from the other side of the room.
“Both of you?” Adore looks almost aghast. “Sorry, I know you’re not supposed to ask that-“
“It’s cool,” Laganja shrugs. “We’re T-for-T.”
“Trans for titles,” Gia adds, leaning against Laganja’s shoulder as she brandishes her championship belt.
“They’re also just T-for-T in the conventional sense,” Courtney says, laughing.
“That’s libel.” Gia says matter-of-factly.
“That’s slander, libel is written. Don’t use big words if you don’t know what they mean.” Bianca snorts.
“Fuck off - racist bitch.”
“Sure,” Bianca says dismissively.
“I’m smarter in Japanese.” Gia looks to Laganja, trying to get her to back her up. The blonde quietly shakes her head, laughing.
“It’s also true,” Bianca continues. “We all know you two share a one-bed apartment, and we’ve all seen you drooling all over each other every time you get within ten feet of a jägerbomb.”
“Rent is expensive!” Laganja protests; Gia simultaneously tries to assert that she’s straight. The two of them look at each other. Laganja continues: “Anyway - Gia is like, my sister!”
“Which is why you guys would go over great in Alabama.” Bianca ducks the balled-up t-shirt that Gia has just thrown at her.
“I’m just sad we never got to hear him being mean about me,” Courtney sighs, leaning against the wall. She’s only put about half of her hair extensions in, sitting with a bizarre waist-length mullet. Adore has her head resting in her lap now; the blonde had braided a section of her ponytail. “It’s not like I’m not giving him a ton of material to work with - where’s my slut-shaming?”
“Jesus Christ, read the room - Ganja and Trinity just got long-distance hate-crimed. Not everything is about you,” Bianca says.
“I mean like, you’re not the champion any more so guess you’re kinda irrelevant now?” Gia offers - Courtney looks thorny for a moment, before remembering to hide it.
“Give it a few hours and you will eat those words.” She says, shooting a faux-confrontational look at the other woman. Gia blows a raspberry.
“So, we’re aiming for no fireworks tonight?” Bianca cocks her head at Dela. The other woman lets out a heavy sigh.
“Yup - I’m not on the card tonight, mostly so I can give my full attention to avoiding a repeat of last week’s bullshit if anything does go wrong.” Dela says. She’s wearing jeans and a tank top, her hair tied into a  stubby half-ponytail  and not a stitch of makeup on her face. Makes sense - Dela was a chronic over-preparer, so seeing her still in street clothes this close to the start of a show was bizarre.
“Look, you don’t need to put your own career on hold because I can’t keep my shit together after-“ Courtney starts to protest, before Dela cuts her off.
“It’s one show, it’s hardly putting my career on hold.” She shrugs. “Plus it’s not fair - it’s not you guys’ problem to have to deal with his crap if he’s in a bad mood.”
“Why the fuck haven’t you fired him yet?” Gia asks bluntly. Dela’s face twitches.
“Look, it’s a complicated situation-“
“Sure. But like, isn’t the whole reason this company exists to keep us away from men being assholes? But that specific asshole gets to stick around for some reason?” She continues. “Seems a little unfair on us, huh?” Dela doesn’t respond, shrinking further into herself. “You know, if you spent more time doing your fucking job, and less time bitching about missing Jinkx, maybe-“
Laganja rams an elbow into Gia’s shoulder with some considerable force, shutting her up. She whispers something into her ear - the two of them get up, walking out without saying anything. Dela screws up her face, taking a deep breath.
“Honey, just ignore them.” Trinity puts an arm around Dela. The brunette purses her lips.
“I’m fine - I’ll be fine.” She says unconvincingly, chewing at her bottom lip.
“Want me to kill them?” Trinity asks.
“That’s a bit extreme.” Dela gives a weak laugh. She looks like she’s trying not to cry - wouldn’t be the first time. Ever since Jinkx got hurt, she’d spent more time than most crying in the locker room; usually a result of compacted stress or, more frequently, Gia being a cunt.
As much as Bianca felt for her in some respects, in others she thought that Gia would really benefit from a punch in the fucking teeth. Ever since Jinkx had retired, she’d found little opportunities wherever she could to antagonize Dela; usually just picking at her rather than outright snapping, although she was prone to that too. Bianca guessed it was something to do with defending Laganja, making the two of them as unapproachable as possible in order to prevent the difficult conversation from ever having to take place. Which seemed pointless - even if she was mad, which Bianca was pretty sure she wasn’t, Dela was too nice to say anything.
At the crux of the matter, Ganja had fucked up, and Jinkx’s career was over as a result. All of them knew that, but nobody wanted to acknowledge it. Injuring someone is one thing, retiring someone is another. Both of them suck, one of them is easier to forgive.
That night, Ganja had been inconsolable - and Gia had gone out of her way to shoot down any slight insinuation that it might have been her fault, or the fault of the joint she’d smoked a few minutes before heading to the ring. Gia had always a bit of a tendency to bite the head off of anyone who so much as looked at her funny - it had only gotten worse since last year, especially since she was now doing it in service of absolving her partner’s guilt, not just herself. Bianca thought of it kind of like how dogs get aggressive out of fear.
“You’re in charge, honey - don’t let her make you feel like shit.” Trinity continues. Dela straightens up, wiping at her eyes.
“Seriously, it’s not a big deal. It’s just kinda a touchy subject, I…” she trails off, not sure how to finish the sentence.
“You don’t need to explain yourself. Just tell her to fuck off - or I will if you don’t want to.”
Dela doesn’t respond. She gives a small smile, standing up and walking towards the bathroom.
Adore is sitting cross-legged beside Bianca, still in between Courtney’s bare legs, and she’s being bizarrely quiet. Bianca puts a hand on her shoulder.
“You okay?”
“I think so, but I also kind of feel like I’m going to puke?” Adore says, a level of uncertainty to her voice.
“That’s completely normal - it’s just nerves. It doesn’t go away, but it gets easier to deal with.” Courtney shrugs, putting her arms around her. “You’ll be fine.”
“I promise I won’t mess up this time.” Adore glances over to her, a hint of uncertainty in her eyes.
“Sweetheart, we planned the match this time. It’s gonna be fine.” Court smiles. “The crowd fucking loved you last week, and if I beat you in five minutes, that’s gonna get me some nuclear heat. It’s a win-win.”
Adore goes to speak, but gets cut off by her stomach growling loud enough to wake the dead. Bianca jumps, a little taken aback.
“When the fuck did you last eat?”
“At like…” Adore furrows her brows in thought. “Oh shit, I forgot.”
“You forgot? Like, forgot to eat? All day?”
“…yeah, pretty much.” Bianca and Courtney both look at her, flabbergasted. “What? I was stressed, okay?”
Courtney rummages around in her bag, tossing a protein bar down to the redhead. “Here - going out there on an empty stomach is a terrible idea, that’s how you do puke.” She shudders. “Been there, done that.”
“Like, in the ring?” Bianca’s eyes widen. Courtney nods.
“I literally don’t know what happened, I got clotheslined and just like,  immediately spilled my guts. The show got cut short because nobody else wanted to get into the ring. It was awful.”
“Gross,” Bianca grimaces. She watches Adore awkwardly chewing, her face screwed up. “If you don’t like it, you don’t have to finish it.”
“Nah, it’s really good.” Adore says unconvincingly, her mouth half-full. “What is it?”
“Like, dried fruit and cashews and some other stuff. They have them in a bunch of different flavors - I think that one is cookies and cream. Good, right?” Courtney says. Adore makes some kind of vaguely affirming noise, trying to swallow with a great degree of difficulty. Bianca turns to her, muttering to her.
“We can stop at McDonalds on the way home if you want.”
Adore nods, trying to be subtle as she spits the mouthful of protein bar back into the wrapper and hides it in her bag.
Courtney side-eyes her, looking mock-hurt.
“What?” Adore says indignantly. “I’m saving it for later.”
“No she isn’t - don’t be offended, Court. The kid eats like a fucking kindergartener.” Bianca clarifies.
“I do not!”
“The last three meals I’ve seen you eat have been dinosaur chicken nuggets. Case closed.” Bianca says as she rolls up the leg of her sweatpants to tape up her knee.
It had been bugging her for weeks now - well really, it hadn’t been totally right since her surgery a few years back, but she tried not to think about that. Nothing she could really do - at forty-six, given the nature of her job, she should think herself lucky that only one part of her body was falling to pieces.
“Hey Dela - how long do we have til the show starts?” Courtney asks, setting about her hair extensions again. Dela barely has one foot out of the bathroom, still drying her hands on her jeans.
“Forty minutes?” The brunette replies, sounding a little distracted. “You and Adore have more like two hours since you’re out last, so it’s all good - take your time.”
“Thanks mum,” Courtney says sweetly, blowing her a kiss. She stands up, briefly hugging Adore before bee-lining to the makeup table.
She wasn’t the only person who affectionately referred to Dela as ‘mom’; in Jinkx’s absence, the role of locker room leader was more or less split between Courtney - or at least it had been up until recently - being that she was the champ, and Bianca, since she was the most tenured person there and as a result, relatively unfuckwithable to people who valued their lives. However, the locker room mom was Dela without question. She always had been, even when Jinkx had been around. Bianca didn’t know how she dealt with this; frankly, the idea of spending half of her time before and after shows trying to fix other people’s messes, and being the designated ‘hey, is my tampon string hanging out?’ person sounded like a fucking nightmare.
Bianca had been forced somewhat involuntarily into parenthood since she’d de facto adopted Adore, and keeping track of her alone was enough work. She couldn’t fathom having to deal with everyone coming to her to complain about their shit. Maybe the fact that she’d established herself as a scary bitch was a good thing in the long run. Of course, Adore hadn’t been bothered by that - if anything, she’d taken it as a challenge, convinced that Bianca was actually closet-nice despite what she went out of her way to project to the world. It was endearing, if incredibly annoying.
Speaking of parenting - Adore still looks totally out of it, face blank and eyes glazed. Bianca turns to her, lowering her voice.
“Are you sure everything’s okay?” Adore nods. “I need a verbal answer here - what’s up?”
“I’m fine. I mean, I…Bea, what if I screw up again? What if the audience hates me?”
“Both par for course in this business,” Bianca shrugs.
“I just feel bad - this is my chance to actually do this right, I can’t fuck it up. Not again.”
“You’re not going to fuck it up - and even if you do, nothing bad is gonna happen. You’re nervous, that’s okay.”
“What if my mom is watching this from heaven or whatever, and she thinks I’m a sucky wrestler?” There's tears in Adore’s eyes. Bianca takes her hand.
“She probably thinks that anything you do here is an improvement on the shit you’ve spent the last couple of years putting yourself through - cut yourself some slack.”
“I just want her to be proud of me.” Adore’s lip quivers. She blinks the tears out of her eyes, and Bianca instinctively reaches to wipe away her running mascara with her thumb.
“She will be. And I’m proud of you too.”
“You mean that?”
“Absolutely.”
There was more truth to that than Bianca is willing to admit as Adore pulls her into a hug. Apparently the redhead was turning her soft - Jesus Christ, who the fuck even is she any more?

“MARE ! JUDE ! Get yer asses over here !” The voice is slurred , almost angry and nasally as it screeches out . Two pairs of foot steps , one heavier than the other are heard on old floorboards . “Took you damn long enough . Here . Take care o’ this . It’s yer brother .”
The bundle of squirming old rags is thrust into the young girls arms , her eyes wide as she takes in the sight of a baby . She hadn’t known her Papa’s newest wife was pregnant . Fussy babbling comes from her side , and she bends down , showing the babe to the three year old on the floor .
“What’s his name , Papa ?” She brushes dark curls out of the babes face , letting her curious brother hold the babies hand in his own .
“Hell if I know or care . Call it what ya want . Just a spare , anyway .” She winces at that , holding the baby closer to her chest . He’d have to have a name . . .
“Papa ?” The babe is held protectively to her chest , eyes fearful as she addresses her father for the second time .
The sound of the butt of a shotgun being slammed to the ground echos in the house , the baby lets out a startled cry and the young girl is quick to hush it . “Damnit , Mare , what the fuck else you got to fuckin’ ask me ?”
“How — How am I supposed to pick a name for hi —“
“Fuckin’ hell .Ya whiny bitch . How the fuck am I supposed to come up bullshit like that , Mare ? Just take care of the damned thing ! Fuck ! I got more important shit to do .” With that he shoved in a bullets to his gun , let it snap into place and cocked it , heading out to the barn .
She winced , holding both close to her their Papa stomped off . She let out a sigh of relief to be alone with just her brothers . Looking down at her newborn brother for a moment , she smiled softly .
“Hi , baby boy , I’m Marigold , yer big sister , and this is Jude Jr , yer big brother . It’s nice to meet you .” Jude Jr smiled , saying a babbled “hello” while pressing a kiss to his baby brother’s chubby cheek . Humming a soft lullaby the sound of a the tv catches her attention . A football game on the screen . The blue helmet of the Cowboys spins proudly as their roster is announced for the game , and the girl perks up , smiling wide , “Welcome to the family , Dallas .”

Teach me something 3
Tumblr media
The Bruins winning the series means another part of this fic (I’m so sorry to my canes followers [if I even have any wait do I?] I still love you pls don’t hate me but as someone from Connecticut we’re still bitter that the Whalers left and went to Carolina in the first place again don’t hate me)
Will I ever write the requests that y’all have sent in? Who knows (JK you know I will)
I hope you like this! 
ALSO a warning, this partially takes place in the hospital
Read the other parts:  part 1 // part 2 // part 4
--------------
“Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Chemistry class!” you say in what was probably perceived as an overly chipper tone, but you were genuinely excited to start the new school year, especially after missing the end of last year. “I’m Mrs. Tkachuk, and I know that most of you probably hate ice breakers, especially since you’re going to be doing them all week, but today is just going over the syllabus, getting to know me, and then we’re going to spend the rest of class doing a little chemistry-related ‘get to know you’ activity.” Some of your students roll their eyes, some even groan. “It’s chem class, guys, what did you expect?” 
You spend the first part of the morning with the boring stuff, the class expectations, listening to them groan over the fact that you give what weren’t technically pop quizzes, but were something very similar, having them break into chatter when you said you gave one partner test per quarter, and that they got to pick which unit was the partner test expect during the third quarter, and then have no reaction at the chemistry jokes that you made throughout the class. 
“So, do you guys have any questions for me?” you ask, glancing over at the clock. You had half the period left to go through your little PowerPoint, then have them do their activity. One of the boys in the back of the room raises his hand. “Robbie, right?”
“Yeah, are you related to Matthew Tkachuk?” A few of the boys around him start to murmur over whether or not you were, definitely excited by the possibility, especially since they were all wearing jackets for the hockey club they were part of.
“I meant about the syllabus, but I’ll answer that in a sec, ok? Any questions about the syllabus before I tell you about myself?” you ask the class, none of them raising their hands in hopes of knowing whether or not Matthew was related to you. God, you hoped not. “Ok, then.” 
You turn on the projector, the screen filled with a short PowerPoint that you showed every year, updating every so often. You started telling them about where you were from, where you went to school, even that you used to dance with the Stampede. “So, I’m not related to Matthew Tkachuk,” you say, the boys seemingly deflated by that fact. You switch slides, a picture of you and him on the ice after their most recent Stanley Cup win, the one from your wedding that was your phone background for so long, one of you, Matthew, and your son, Oliver when he was a year old, and the newest one, the two of you with you a now three-year-old Ollie, and your newborn daughter, Tessa. “He is my husband. You might have heard that I was out for the last two months of last school year because of maternity leave, and I’m also surprised that you didn’t already know I was married to him considering he’s come with me to school events plenty of times. Maybe you’ll even get to meet him.” 
The rest of the class goes fine: the students making ‘their elemental symbol,’ which they surprisingly like doing; their initials were the symbol, and they decorated it with things they liked and things that represented them. You told them you would be making a class periodic table on the windows behind them, leading to all the hockey boys begging to be together so they could do one coherent background image. You couldn’t help but laugh, thinking of how Matthew would get his friends to do the same thing if given the opportunity. 
Every period brought up the same questions about you and Matthew: the girls wanted to know how you met (you met at a bar but that seemed a little inappropriate to tell your high schoolers, saying you met at a charity function was what you went with), how’d you come up with the names for your children (weird, but fine: you came up with Oliver just because you’ve always loved the name, Matthew came up with Tessa because it was the closest name to his sisters that he could think of without actually naming her Taryn as well, and he adores his sister, so why not?), the boys asked how much of his team you knew (all of them), how many games you went to (as many as you could but it was hard with children), can you get them free tickets (no). Teachers weren’t supposed to share a lot about their personal life, but the students could probably find enough of this information out on social media, even though you kept your own accounts private. 
You have one more period before the end of the day, luckily you had a prep time, even though there wasn’t much to do since it was the beginning of the year. While browsing through your roster for your last class, your room phone starts to ring. 
“Chucky’s room,” you answer, using the nickname your husband’s teammates used for him.
“Hi, Y/N, your husband called. He said he needed you to call him back and that it was urgent. Margot said she would cover your last class,” the school secretary says from the other end.
“What? Is everything ok?” you ask, trying to stretch the chord of the phone long enough to reach your phone at your desk. 
“He didn’t say, he just said to call him. I’m assuming you have to leave, so you’re good to just go.”
You hang up, starting to panic. What happened to him? What about Ollie? What if it was Tessa? Oh my god, what if something happened to all three of them? You start to panic, preparing for the worst as you dial Matthew’s number and pack up your bag as fast as you can. “Babe, what’s wrong?” 
“You need to meet us at Alberta Children’s Hospital as soon as you can, ok?” you hear him say, the same panic in your voice that you started to feel. 
“Matthew, what happened?” you say, Margot standing in your doorway, sensing your panic. ‘What’s going on?’ she mouths to you as you hold up a finger to her, waiting for Matthew’s answer.
“It’s Oliver, don’t worry, just get here, please. I need you.” He hangs up before you can say anything else.
“Telling me don’t worry and get to the children’s hospital because of Oliver in the same sentence is oxymoronic,” you say to Margot, not really knowing what else to tell her, “Just tell them they can hang out or something, not to get too loud. Hand out the syllabus, tell them don’t worry about it because I’ll see them soon. Tell them I’ll be emailing them tonight so to check their school accounts, but I had a family emergency,” you spit out to her as she just nods along.
“I don’t know what’s going on, but he’ll be alright. Let me know if you need anything.” 
She brings you in for a hug, trying to calm your nerves even though it didn’t really work. You run out of the door right before the bell rings, students swarming around you as you try to beat them down the staircase. The upperclassmen who had study halls this period were also allowed to leave, a privilege none of them had lost yet since it was the beginning of the year, which means you had to battle with them to get out of the single entrance your school had. 
You were shaking, trying to plug in the directions to the hospital as you were walking to your car, praying that it would save you some time to just get the hell out of there and go see what happened to Oliver.
Why didn’t Matthew tell you what was wrong? How bad was it that it could only be said in person? Or was it something trivial and he just didn’t want to say it over the phone? Either way, why didn’t he tell you? What was wrong with Oliver? Your mind was racing the entire drive there, nothing that you could think of or listen to could take your mind off the fact that your husband was waiting in the hospital with your son, for who knows what reason? 
You rush into the hospital, bag on your arm, hands shaking, ready to cry and just wanting to find your son. “I’m looking for Oliver Tkachuk? T-k-a-c-h-u-k. I’m his mother,” you frantically say to the lady at the desk. 
“Sorry, I can’t give you any information right now, the doctor is still with him,” she says, trying to give you a reassuring smile. 
“Is there anything you can tell me? Where he is? If his father is here? Where his father is? Anything about how long it will be?” you start to spit out, a constant stream of panic running through you, “Sorry, sorry, that was a lot. Are you sure there’s nothing you can tell me about my son? If I can where my husband is can I go to him?”
You didn’t mean to panic at her, if that was a thing, but it just kind of happened anyway. “Yes, if you can find him that’s fine. If you take a seat right now, I can tell you something as soon as I find out if you’re still here,” she says, reassuringly. You do as she says, digging out your phone from the bottom of your bag to see if Matthew has sent you anything.
‘Hey, I’m in the emergency waiting room, where are you?’ you send him, just in case he’s in the middle of something with a doctor. Your phone buzzes immediately, him telling you where to find him. You get up, the lady at the desk nodding at you, probably assuming you were going to wander to find Matthew. 
“Y/N!” you hear Matthew call once you get up to the floor. You run to him, the panic in his voice pushing you to the verge of tears. He takes you in for a hug. You can feel his body shaking.
You look up at him, tears filling his eyes. “What happened?” 
He buries his head in your shoulder, the two of you standing in the middle of the hallway, probably in the way. “We were outside playing after lunch and I turned my back for two seconds because Tessa was crying and then I look and Oliver is crying and there’s blood everywhere because he fell, and,”
“Matthew, Matthew,” you say, trying to get him to stop. 
“I feel so bad. I can’t believe I let our son get hurt. And then I couldn’t get a hold of you because your phone was off and I just panicked and brought him here” You can feel tears soaking through your shirt. 
“Babe,” you say, pulling him off your shoulder. You’ve never seen him so upset before. He looks just like Oliver did when you told him he couldn’t have dessert before dinner. “Kids get hurt. That happens. He’s probably going to need some stitches, yeah?”
“I can’t believe I let this happen,” he says, the two of you walking to go sit down. 
“You were watching two small children at once. It was going to happen at some point, and it could happen to either of us,” you tell him, trying to get him to calm down. “There is no way you never busted your lip open or something like that when you were a child. He just takes after his father.”
“Oh no,” he says, the color nearly draining from his face as he realizes Ollie was practically going to be his mini-me.  
“Speaking of: where is our daughter? I really hope you didn’t leave her alone.”
“Oh, god, no. She’s with Rory.” You look at him, shocked that he would leave her with Rory of all people. “Ok, she was the only one within a ten-mile radius that I would trust and could reach. Out other option was Johnny. Do you trust him with our newborn daughter?” 
“Point taken,” you say, suddenly thankful for Rory. “Has the doctor said anything?”
“Just that it’s going to be a while and that he’ll come get us when he’s ready to,” Matthew says, looking down at his hands. 
You take his hand in yours. “Ollie will be alright. I promise.” 
“How are you so calm? How am I the one who’s freaking out? God, being a parent has made me soft.”
You can’t help but laugh: his last game of the season he got flat out ejected from the game because he was fighting. If that’s soft, you don’t want to see him any other way. “If both parents are freaking out that never ends well. So I’m just freaking out internally,” you say, leaning your head on his shoulder.
He kisses the top of your head, “God, I’m lucky to have you.”
“I know.” You look up at him and smile, him rolling his eyes at your modesty. “Ollie’s going to be fine. This happens to kids all the time.” 
The two of you sit there in silence, watching doctors and nurses walk by, parents and siblings going around probably trying to find their child. Matthew seems to have calmed down, a little at least. You both knew Oliver was going to be fine, but shit, was it scary to not know anything. 
You lean down to your bag, digging through it to find your computer. You might as well start drafting an email to your students now while you have time. “What are you doing?” Matthew asks, curious as the family picture you used in your slideshow pops up as your lock screen. 
“I have to email my last class. They should be out of school by now and I told Margot to have them watch for an email from me.” Matthew looks almost angry, but why? “You should come into school one day if we can get Rory to watch the kids; the boys went crazy when they found out we were married, I think they would love it if you did an experiment with them.”
“We’re literally in the hospital for our son, and you’re thinking of your students, instead?” he snips, his face starting to turn red.
You weren’t thinking of your students instead of Oliver, you were thinking of them and Oliver, just not at the same time. “Sorry that in addition to our two children, I also have, what, four class rosters of thirty students each? And my junior homeroom class? And a study hall section? My entire life is occupied by children, so sorry if I have more than just ours on my mind.” You knew this anger was coming from his worry of Oliver, but that doesn’t mean he has the right to take it out on you. “Matthew, I’m just writing them an email, and then I don’t have to worry about them until tomorrow.”
“I mean, it’s getting a little annoying that I have to stay home with the kids all day while you’re at work. I couldn’t even reach you because you don’t check your phone, and then the school said I would have to wait to hear from you until you have a free period because they couldn’t find anyone to cover your class. Do you even care about Oliver and Tessa?” He can’t believe he just said that to you. He knows your two kids mean more to you than he probably does. Before he can say he’s sorry, you start. 
“Ok, four things. One: we talked about me returning to teaching and both agreed that it was something that we were comfortable with me doing. You only have to stay home with the kids for another week before Tessa starts at daycare and Oliver starts preschool. Two: you know that I can’t have my phone out during the day. It’s not like I can call you in the middle of practice or during a game, so you being irritated about that is ridiculous. Three: the school being understaffed isn’t really my fault. Yes, they were wrong to not get a hold of me, but that, again, is not my fault. And four: the only reason you are acting like this is because you are worried about Oliver, which I understand, because, and this may shock you: I am, too. But that does not mean that you have the right to turn your worry into anger, and then take it out on your wife,” you say, surprising yourself by staying calm the entire time. “So if you excuse me, I’m going to go call Rory and check on Tessa, unless that’s something you think you should do because maybe I don’t care enough about my own children.” 
You get up and go to the end of the hallway before he can say anything. “Hey, Rory, it’s me. How’s my girl doing?”
“She poops. So much. Did you know babies poop this much? I think I’ve changed her diaper three times since Matthew dropped her off.” Maybe Johnny would have been better than Rory, but then again, you could see Johnny using a curtain as a diaper a la Uncle Jesse and Joey in Full House. 
“Yes, remember, Tessa is my second baby. Oliver pooped a lot, too,” you say, laughing. 
“I don’t remember pooping this much as a child,” you hear her say, obviously switching her phone to speaker. “Like I see why you love because she is just so cute,” you hear Tessa laughing as Rory is probably tickling her or making a stupid face as she does baby talk to her, “But the poop!” “Ror, you wouldn’t remember pooping as a child, you don’t start forming explicit memories until you’re two, but implicit memories when you’re seven. But other than the poop, how is she doing? Is she giving you any other trouble?”
“You know too much about science for a teacher,” she says, you rolling you eyes at the comment, “But, nah, she’s great. She’s probably going to nap soon? Matthew had mentioned that she normally naps around now?”
“Yep, she’s typically asleep when I get home, so put her down for a nap and keep an eye on her, please. I don’t need both my children in the hospital.” 
“Well, who else would you trust with your child?”
“Most other people I know.”
“Johnny?”
“I said most.” You finally hang after she reassures you four times that Tessa is fine with her, telling her that one of you will call when you’re leaving the hospital, whichever parent doesn’t have Oliver will go to Rory’s, and that you’ll text her with updates on Ollie if you have any. 
You walk over to Matthew, sitting in the chair with his head in his hands, his fingers intertwined with his curls. He looks up when you sit down, the look on his face saying that he was sorry for what you said. 
“You are the best mother our kids could have,” he says.
“Mr. and Mrs. Tkachuk?” a man in a white coat, stethoscope and clipboard stands in front of you. You stand up and go to him, both of you hoping for good news as Matthew puts his arm around you. “Your son is fine; he just needed stitches and a cast on his left arm. If you follow me I can take you to his room.”
“A cast? You said there was just blood,” you look at Matthew, wide-eyed and unsure if you were confused or shocked.
“There was blood! I don’t know, you’re the science teacher, you should know this stuff,” he says, trying to defend himself.
“You do understand that biology and anatomy are different from chemistry, right? Like, I love you so much, but how do you know nothing about science? I never stop talking about science.”
He just shrugs as the two of you stand outside the door of the room your son was in. “I went to school in America, babe.” You roll your eyes as he takes your hand. “Ready?” 
You nod, both of you walking into the room to see your so sitting on the bed. He looks so small with the blue cast on his arm, stitches stretching across his chin. “Mommy! Daddy!” he screams, “Look! It’s blue!” 
You can feel yourself start to cry at the sight of your son hurt, even though his curls are going in every direction as he tries to jump off the bed to show you his cast. “Oh sweetie, your chin,” you say, tilting his head up so you can get a better look at it.
“Aren’t they cool?” he screams again. “And look! They gave me a lollipop!” he holds up the yellow candy in your face, you not even noticing that he had to begin with.
“He really is your son,” you say, looking at Matthew as Oliver squirms around on the bed. 
“The stitches can be taken out in five days, so you’ll need to bring him back here to have them removed. Then for his arm, I’ll want a check after two weeks, but it probably won’t be coming off for five to seven,” the doctor starts spitting out. He hands Matthew a piece of paper from his clipboard, Matthew looking at it like it’s written in a foreign language before stuffing it in your bag. “You can take your son home, just sign the discharge papers,” he finishes, leaving the room.
“You sign the papers and get Tessa from Rory’s, all take Ollie home?” you say to him, picking up Oliver in your arms. 
Matthew nods, kissing Oliver on the head. “Daddy, can we have ice cream for dinner?” 
You both laugh, Matthew’s mini-me giving you the same puppy dog eyes that Matthew gives you when he wants something. “Only if Mommy is ok with it, but only because you got hurt.”
“We’ll get some ice cream on the way home, bub,” you say, kissing Oliver on the cheek as he squeals with joy. “See you at home, babe? With Tessa.” 
“See you at home.”

Play Nice (Candice Lerae x Tegan Nox x Reader)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
smut
“Is there a particular reason that you’re staring at me like that?” Tegan asked you and Candice. 
“Just thinking of what could have been if you’d joined us,” Candice said. 
“It isn’t too late Tegan.” You were hopeful that she’d listen to you, but you knew she wouldn’t. She was good and strong, unlike you. You had bent to Candice’s will and she had her hooks in deep with you. Tegan hadn’t tried controlling you like Candice did, she let you make your own decisions and that was why it had been so easy for you to leave her. It was also why the guilt ate you up every single time that you saw her backstage. 
“I’m not helping you with whatever you want. I’m a good person and betraying my friends is just not in my nature,” Tegan said and Candice pouted at her. 
“By not joining me, you’re betraying me Tegan. Worse than that, you’re betraying Y/n, who loves you so much,” Candice said and you looked down to avoid their eyes. “She talks about you, asks me if I think you’ll ever get to be back to where you’d been before. She needs you, even if it is just for tonight. I can’t help her all by myself, you need to be out there too Tegan.” 
“No,” Tegan said, reluctantly. 
“I’ve pissed people off, you’ve pissed people off, and Y/n has pissed people off. Tonight, there will be people wanting to make sure that she can’t get a title shot. Both of us know how badly she wants this and if you won’t try to be there for the aftermath of it all, at least help me prevent her from getting hurt,” Candice said and it was one of the first times that she’d let someone know how much she cared about you before. Tegan cleared her throat and looked over at you. 
“Fuck it. Yeah, I’ll help you,” Tegan said and you ran over and hugged her. “But this doesn’t mean I’m aligning myself with you Candice. I promised not to let Y/n get hurt if I could help it, that’s all.” 
“Maybe she’ll be inspired by your selfless act and the two of you can kiss in closets again,” Candice said with a smirk. You pulled her away from Tegan and Candice helped you get ready for your match. 
“You’re being mean,” you said and Candice scoffed. “She agreed to help, the least you could do is play nice.” 
“Oh I’ll play nice,” Candice said and you sighed. “I’ll make sure that she knows how welcome she is with us.” 
“Don’t do anything stupid, please.” You patted the top of her head and walked out to find Tegan. You caught her before you had to go out to your match. “Thank you for this.” 
“Don’t thank me yet, it’s quiet here and that is not a good sign,” Tegan told you. You nodded and your music hit. Candice barely made it in time to walk out with you, but the crowd seemed apprehensive when they saw the three of you. Before your opponent’s match could hit, the majority of the women’s roster came out and stormed you. Instead of trying to fight them all, Candice and Tegan only did enough to get the three of you out of there and to safety. 
“Run!” Candice yelled once you were through the thick of it. The three of you ran out to the car she had waiting for you. You all jumped in and Candice drove away. 
“What the hell did you do?” Tegan asked you. You were sitting in the backseat by yourself, knees pulled up to your chest as you tried to calm yourself down. “Why was everyone out there to get you?” 
“Whoever was announced winner of that match got the contender’s spot. Word got around that it didn’t have to be Y/n who won it,” Candice told Tegan. The two of them talked about that for a bit and then Candice stopped at her house. “Y/n, babe, you go up ahead. We’ll be in soon.”
“Okay.” You got out of the car and walked up to her house. You let yourself in and then went upstairs to take a shower. You wanted to wash off the stress of what had happened. You didn’t even get to have your match, so all of your work was thrown out in that moment. 
“Y/n?” Tegan asked as she opened the bathroom door. You were still in the shower and the only thing separating her from your naked body was the curtain. “C-can I talk to you? I’ll just say my piece and then leave you.”
“Yeah,” you said quietly. You knew that she heard you though because you could hear her sit down on the floor. You bit your lip, prepared to hear how stupid you were for leaving her. 
“Candice wasn’t lying earlier was she?” Tegan asked you. “You want to be with me don’t you?” 
“I do, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to also be with Candice. It’s confusing and I hate it,” you told her. 
“Tonight, you don’t have to pick. We’re both here for you because you need us. I’m willing to play nice with her if that’s what will make you happy,” Tegan said and you shut the water off. You reached out to grab your towel and put it on before you opened the curtains completely. “I love you and I think it’s more important for you to be happy than me to be selfish. That’s something that she won’t give you, but tonight you don’t have to choose.” 
“I want you to know that I miss you all the time and there’s barely anything here that doesn’t make me think of you,” you whispered to her as you helped her onto her feet. The two of you walked into Candice’s bedroom together and you smiled as you saw your girlfriend on the bed. You sat down next to her and nodded, letting her know that it was okay. “Thank you.” 
“Tegan isn’t the only one I should have been playing nice with,” Candice said as she unwrapped the towel from around you. She moved to straddle your lap and leaned you back so you were laying down. Candice looked behind her at Tegan and crawled off of your body. You propped yourself up on your elbows and watched the two of them stare at each other. “Go ahead, she wants you.” 
“Thank you,” Tegan whispered as she walked past Candice towards you. She wasted no time in kissing you. Everything you’d been missing with Candice was in the kiss with Tegan. Tegan had always been a caring and very giving lover, but not like she was in that moment. Every moment, touch and taste of your skin, was being savored. Tegan wanted to enjoy you for as long as she could because she knew when her turn was up, it was up. 
“Tegan please, I can’t handle not having you like this,” you pleaded with her. The two of you locked eyes and it felt like a promise that the two of you would be together again. Tegan gently spread your legs and let her hand fall down your thigh to your center. You were wet, Tegan had made sure of that before, but she was still not done. She used her fingers to spread the wetness up to your clit before she went in with her mouth. 
“Stop biting your lip, let her hear you Y/n,” Candice commanded. You gave a small nod and stopped biting your lip. Tegan didn’t move her mouth the entire time that she was between your legs. You glanced down at her and noticed the slightly uncomfortable position that she was in, but she was persisting. The way that she managed to make you cum was something that you hadn’t experienced in forever. Candice was good, but there weren’t a lot of nights that she was necessarily up for treating her like Tegan was. 
“Fuck Tegan!” you screamed out as you came. Tegan went to move away from you, but you pulled her to lay next to you as you caught your breath. You were gearing up to take care of Candice how you knew she would want to be taken care for the night. It had slipped out and if your girlfriend heard you say it, she pushed it down inside of her and didn’t bring it up. “I love you.” 
“Yeah, I know.” Tegan nodded as she kissed you. You kissed her back and tasted yourself on her lips. Time slowed and the world around you stopped, at least that was what it felt like. Candice cleared her throat and you pulled her onto the bed with you. She didn’t bother in pampering you like Tegan had on her way down to your cunt. 
“I love you Y/n. I really do, that’s why Tegan is here. I know that I haven’t exactly been the most loving girlfriend, and I’m sorry, but I do love you, I swear,” Candice told you. There wasn’t a doubt in your mind about that once she had said it, but you hadn’t heard it before. Candice got straight to the point and she had your legs shaking quickly. Her tongue and fingers were precise and she pushed your body to the edge. 
“I should go,” Tegan said as she made her way towards the door. 
“The night isn’t over, so I still have to play nice. Come and lay down, I’m sure there’s something in the house that’ll fit you. I think you left some clothes here before,” Candice said as she left you and Tegan alone in the room. True to her word, Candice played nice with Tegan until the morning, when she kicked the Welsh woman out so that she could have time alone with you.

“Where are they with the damn tests?” Bri groaned, flopping back onto the bed. Adriana, their best friend who was new to the AEW roster, shrugged, “Maybe Gabby is arguing with the cashier.”
Right after that sentence, Gabby and Parker walked through the door, bickering.
“This is your THIRD pint of ice cream this past 24 hours, Parker! Get over the breakup and go get some dick or somethin’.” “Oh I’m sorry did you break up with Adam when you’re absolutely in love with him? No,” She yelled, snatching Ben and Jerry’s ‘Love Is..’ from one of the bags, “So let me deal with it how I want!”
“It’s been like 3 weeks and all you’ve done is eat pints of ice cream.” “You didn’t wanna stop at Baskin Robbins!” They had started full blown yelling when Bri pushed them apart, “Can we just do this? Take some pregnancy tests as some jokes now?” Parker had rolled her eyes, taking the tests out of the bag, two for each of them.
“So who wanna volunteer?” Adrianna asked. “Nose goes!” Everyone had done it in time except the one person who asked, Adri. She sighed and took the tests to the bathroom, Gabby, Bri and Parker sitting in the room, waiting. “What if one of the tests comes back positive?” Bri asked. “Then it’ll probably be me or yours.” Gabby laughed. “Yeah yeah, make fun of me all you want but at least I would know who the dad is.” Parker mumbled, glaring at Bri.
“What?” Gabby asked. “Oh nothing, Parker just being a psychopath.” Bri said through her teeth, mad that Parker almost told Gabby that she had been cheating. A moment later Adri came out of the bathroom, tests in hand. “Now we wait.” One by one they had all taken their tests, Bri, Parker and Gabby being the last one. They had all waited till all of them said pregnant or not.
“We all know it’s not gonna be Parker.” Bri laughed, Parker looked up, ice cream in her mouth, “Shut. Your. Face.”
It was time for them to all see, this wasn’t for anything serious, they had just wanted to have some fun.
“1.”
“2.”
“3.” They all said in unison. Adriana, Brianna and Parker laughed, knowing that it would for sure say negative. They had all looked over at Gabby who had a confused expression. “Gab-E?” Parker asked, concerned, “What happened.”
“Are you sure we got the most promising ones?” A tear ran down her face.
Immediately Parker snatched the test out of Gabby's hand. “Holy shit!” Adriana yelled out. “What the hell?!” Bri let out. “You fucking dumbass!” Parker screamed. The test was positive, Gabby was pregnant. Gabby couldn’t do anything but cry, her and Adam had sex without condoms or birth control, but she didn’t expect a baby out of it. “It’s gonna be ok.” Adriana said in a soft voice before hugging Gabby. “What do I tell Adam? That I’m just pregnant?” She built up words to say. “No shit, what else do you say?” Parker took in a spoon full of her ice cream. 
“I think everything will be ok Gab.” “Just stay calm.” Bri and Adriana tried to comfort Gabby while Parker was in the corner still sad about her break up. “Ok I have to tell him, so quiet down.” Gabby really didn’t want to, but she didn’t wanna hide it either. She pulled out the phone and dialed the number of her boyfriend.
“Adam?” “Hi babe!” Gabby heard Adam on the other side of the phone, which made her heart smile. “Where are you?” “Right now I’m with Matt and Brandon what’s wrong?” “I have to tell you something.” Tears began to flow down Gabby’s face. “I’m….pregnant.” “No fucking way!” Adams face brightened. “Yes fucking way.” “Babe I can’t wait!” To Gabby’s surprise the cowboy was excited. “I love you so damn much boy. I’ll see you in a few.” “I love you too, see ya.” Gabby hung up the phone, smiling.
“So what did he say?” Adriana questioned. “He was happy...I think” she replied.
The four had left the room a little while later to get to Daily’s Place and for the first time, Parker and Gabby didn’t speak to each other.

“Shut up John!” “You shut up Stu!” “You can’t even get anyone else in the Dark Order!” Parker walked close by, stifling laughter from what she was hearing in the room ahead. It went quiet for a second before you heard a slap and the familiar yelp of John Silver. She jumped and cringed, knowing that Brodie had hit him with papers, again. She was about to walk away when Alex Reynolds exited from the room to get away from the drama inside.
“Parker! What’s up?” “Just walking by, can I leave now?”
“Why leave so soon? Why not just stay, at least for a minute?” “I already told you I’m not joining the Dark Order, pretty boy.” Parker snapped back, clearly not dealing with it this week. Alex put his arm up to lean on the wall, trying to be smooth, “Who said anything about the Dark Order?” “God, what do you want?” “To talk to you, obviously.”
Parker arched a brow, “Why?” Alex chuckled, “Don’t act dumb.” “Excuse me?!” “C’mon, you know I didn’t mean it like that. What I meant, is that you and me? We got good chemistry.” Parker gave a confused face, “What the fuck do you mean ‘chemisrty’, pretty boy?”
“I mean think about it, why do you think I’m always trying to get you in the Dark Order?” “Cause you’re desperate?” “Oh come on! You can’t go five minutes without calling me ‘pretty boy’.”
Parker’s jaw dropped at that sentence, “That’s not what...I mean- you can’t….I give up.”
“So you’re saying that you do think I’m attractive?” Parker smiled, “Well they didn’t call you the handsome devil for nothing.” 
Alex moved closer to her, “Well I’ll admit, you’re very attractive yourself." Parker giggled, “I didn’t know you thought that.” “Oh trust me, I think about way more than how attractive you are.” He winked. Parker looked at the floor before taking out her phone and handing it to Reynolds, he typed in his number and handed her the phone back. She kissed his cheek before walking away, “I’ll call you.”
He smirked as she left, then jumped when Brodie yelled his name from inside the room. He frantically ran inside, scene ending on the closed door.
The Elite talked about Chili’s and such when they all looked towards the doorway. “Another fucking girl Adam?” Kenny shouted, as the trio of Adam, Gabby, and Adriana, who was Gabby's friend, walked into the EVP’s room. “Not right now Kenny, please.” Gabby ran her hand down her face, getting anxiety over what The Elite would say about her being pregnant. “We have an announcement.” Adam said, wrapping his arm around Gabby's waist knowing it would calm her. “Don’t tell me you guys are getting married this soon.” Nick sighed. Adam came around behind Gabby, cupping his hands around her non-existent baby bump.
“We’re….pregnant!” “You motherfucker.” Kenny surprisingly has a smile on his face. “So were just having sex without protection now Adam?” “Yeah what the hell?” The Bucks joked. “It’s ok, I’m going to be a dad!” Adam shouted in joy. The Elite congratulated the couple, surprised yet happy that they would be much more than dog parents now.

What Nick you’re not gonna sing it all with me this time?
After BTE, the group of Adam, Gabby, Adriana, Matt, Nick, and Kenny decided to hang out. “So you're actually pregnant right?” Kenny questioned. “Duh what you think?” “Maybe it was just for the show I don’t know.” “Well it’s not”
 “Just know I’m happy for you two, I can put our differences aside for this.” Kenny reached in to give Gabby a hug. “Thank you Kenny, I appreciate it-“ she stopped when she felt Adam come from behind, placing a kiss on her neck. “Congrats on the baby man.” Kenny smiled at Adam, “Thank you Kenny.” Adam smiled back. “We should all take a pic, I won’t post till you guys announce the baby.” Nick came over. The four posed for the photo as Adam cupped gabby’s stomach and Kenny pointed his finger to the air, there were 2 of the 6 not in the photo tho.
Adriana stood in the corner of the EVP room smiling at her friends . Of course she was happy for Gabby and Page; though she barely met him or talked to him for a matter of fact she could tell he really loved Gabby. She was interrupted by her thoughts when someone tapped on her shoulder, “Hey! You must be Adriana, I’m Matt Jackson!” Adriana turnt so fast she got a little dizzy, she stumbled upon her feet and Matt held his hands out to catch her. “Woah- I’m so sorry, you scared me.” Matt chuckled as he noticed how pretty she was; he’s only seen clips of her online but up close she wasn’t half bad looking.
“Not everyday I can save a beautiful woman from falling on her face.” Adriana shot a confused look as he nervously chuckled, “Well, today is your lucky day. Thanks for scaring me…” Her eyes trailed up and down scanning the man head to toe. She noticed the perfect bun that sat on top of his head, the way he was still in gear from his match, and the way his eyes glistened as they stared at her lips, “You’re...um welcome? Hey look I know I’ve only known you for a couple minutes but-”
“Matt and Adriana stop being shy and come get in the picture! We’re not only celebrating a baby but our new signee for AEW! Man what a good day for us!” Nick exclaimed.
Adriana and Matt brought their eyes away from each other as they looked at the group. Gabby ran over and swooped Adriana away from Matt making him frown a little as Nick did the same. As they redid the picture Matt made sure to stand extra close to Adriana sliding his hand in her back pocket making her smirk. They smiled but Matt and Adriana smiled for different reasons . When they were done Adriana dragged Matt out the EVP room. “What the hell was that-“ Adriana started but was cut off with Hangman popping his head out asking if everything was okay.
Adriana started to reply but Matt cut her off, “We’re fine, but Adriana is starting to feel a little tired so I’m gonna take her to the hotel. Tell Gabby for us.” Hangman shot Matt an eye glance but shrugged it off as he made his way back in.
“I’m not tired Matt-” “You will be.”
Hotel Skip
Adam laid his head on Gabby’s lap as they watched t.v, Gabby running her fingers through his curly hair. “Y’know I’m really excited to be parents.” Adam said, turning down the volume. “I am too, especially with you around.” Adam sat up, grabbing Gabby’s hand, “And I’ll be by your side every step of the way.” Gabby smiled, “I love you.” “I love you too.” They closed the distance between themselves with a kiss.
It had only been a second before there was a knock on the door, Adam groaned and got up to answer it, “Oh, hey Parker.”
Parker waved awkwardly, looking back and forth at Adam and the floor, “Could I speak to Gabby?” He looked back in the room before looking at Parker, “One sec.” He closed the door, walking back into the room, “Who was it?” “Parker. She wants to talk to you.”
Gabby shook her head over and over, she didn’t want to hear Parker judging her anymore. The pair had rarely ever argued. Not seriously that is. They had helped each other with their happiness for years, but Gabby couldn’t even talk to her right now. “Gabby.” “I’m not talking to her, Adam.”
He crossed his arms and sat on the edge of the bed, “Talk to her Gabby. You guys are best friends, and I may not know Parker as well but I’m not letting you two drift apart, especially with you being pregnant.” Gabby rolled her eyes, “Fine, let her in.”
She stood up as Adam answered the door, Parker walked in, and looked like a wreck. It was clear she had been crying. “Hi Gab.” “Parker.”
They stood there awkwardly when Parker took a deep breath and spoke up, “Look...I’m so, so so sorry for how I acted earlier. This is one of the biggest moments in your life and I didn’t bother to be happy for you or even hug you cause I’m thinking about myself.” Parker started to cry again, “And I love you so much, I don’t want our friendship because I’m being selfish.”
Gabby started crying seeing Parker cry, “Parker it’s okay. I could’ve been helping you instead of patronizing you for eating ice cream.” They both laughed. “I love you too, and I can’t lose my best friend now.” Parker pulled Gabby in for a hug, both of them crying. They pulled away when Gabby yelled out, “We always look so ugly when we cry together.” They laughed once again.
Parker turned towards the man in the room, “Thank you Adam, you probably had to convince her.”
Adam tipped his imaginary hat, “Now I wonder if I can convince you to apologize to Chuck.” Parker shook her head, angry smile on her face, before she took a pillow from their bed and hit him with it, “You motherfucker.” She had hit him over and over before Gabby started hitting Parker, “Aye chill I ain’t gonna hit a pregnant lady!” “Wow Parkwe!” The two hit each other again and again.
While Adam smiled, knowing they would have some extra help around now that Gabby and Parker were best friends again.
Across the hall was a whole different story, when Cash knocked on Bri’s door.
“Marq will be here in an hour.” Bri said, pulling Cash into the room. “I can work with that.” He said before putting his mouth on Bri’s, walking them towards the bed. One by one, articles of clothing were stripped off until they were left in their underwear.
He detached their lips and started kissing at her neck, one of her weaknesses. “Cash..” She moaned, hands running through his hair. They were so into the moment they didn’t even hear the door open, but they did hear the voice of Marq, “Bri?”
The frantically looked at him in the doorway, a sad look on his face. “Marq!” She called as he started to walk away, she quickly pulled on her jeans and shirt that she and Cash had thrown on the floor, and chased after him into the parking lot. “Marq! Where are you going?” He had barely turned around, “For a drive.” “Please can we talk about this?!”
He turned around quickly, causing her to almost crash into him. She looked at his expression, not sad, not mad, but hurt. He had tears in his eyes, and his brows were furrowed, “Talk about what? That you’ve been cheating on me for God knows how long?!” Bri shook her head, “I didn’t mean to hurt you I just-” “You just couldn’t handle the fact that I haven’t asked you to be my girlfriend right away? I left the show early for you! I’ve been focusing more on you than my career! How is that not enough?” 
She shook her head, “I don’t know, I guess I just...didn’t want to be patient. Sorry that you couldn’t give me what Cash was.” “What? Sex? Cause if so you can go back in there right now.”
“Marq that’s not what I meant.” “No it’s exactly what you meant,” He shook his head, “Who would’ve thought that out of you, Gabby and Parker...I got paired to work on Being The Elite with the one who would hurt me.” “Marq please..” She tried to grab his hand but he moved it away.
“You choose. Me or Cash. I love you, Bri. And if you don’t feel the same, don’t bother choosing me.” He took a box and a card out his bag before he got in his rental and drove off. She opened the card and read the note.
‘Bri, we’ve been hanging out, and doing a lot more for a few months. I can’t believe I’m saying this already, but I think I’m in love with you. You have sass and are so beautiful I can’t even think straight. So I have to ask, will you be my girlfriend?’ She opened the box and saw a beautiful bracelet. And she realized she really fucked up.
 That’s all she could think about on the walk to her room, she walked in and saw Cash was gone, and he too left a note.
‘Hey Bri...what just happened was intense. Now though I enjoy what we do, I think I should just leave you alone, at least till I know I don’t have a target on my back. - Cash.’
Bri sunk to the ground, crying. Knowing that she now had to make the decision. Pleasure or love. And to her, that’s one of the hardest decisions of all.
SMUT WARNINGGGG
Far far away from the hotel, was a car with Adri and Matt, both making conversation.
“This isn’t the way to the hotel...” Adriana said as Matt just smirked at her. “I know it’s not, but you and I can’t deny we’ve been staring at each other all night long.” Matt shot back. There was no denying it. Ever since Adriana met Matt and his friends he could already tell she would be fun to have around.
“Matt, I barely know you-” Adriana started to speak but she instantly shut her mouth as Matt placed his hand on her thigh. “We don’t need to be the best of friends to have sex. I thought in the back of this car would be perfect, so we can both just get it out of our systems.” His hand began to slowly crawl up making its way to her core. Adriana could feel her stomach begin to twist, and she couldn’t lie and say she didn’t want this. She looked over at his face to see if he was being serious about this or not but her eyes were glued on his gigantic bulge as it began to turn her on. 
Most of the time Adriana was the responsible one, never in a million years would her friends ever think of her as having one night stands. Tonight was different. Their lips began to feel each other and Matt asked for entrance by licking her bottom lip. Matt groaned as he began to get frustrated while Adriana chuckled which caused him to shoot his tongue right down her throat. Adriana couldn’t take the clothes anymore as she began to undo her seatbelt and remove her shirt, Matt got the idea and started to undo the belt on his jeans. Matt made his way to the back and Adriana followed as their lips connected once again.
 As she straddled his legs she began to feel him through her shorts. She disconnected their lips and tried to get comfortable on the floor of the backseat beginning to throw her hair up in a ponytail. As she struggled with getting all her hair up, Matt began to ramble, “You know, I’ve never actually done this in the backseat of a car before. But I don't know, you might be a pro. Oh God if Nick finds out I had car sex with someone i just met he’s gonna-” His sentence ended with a groan as Adriana’s mouth met his staff. She moved up and down smirking as his groans filled the car, thank god they were in an empty parking lot. His fingers clasped on the back seat as he used his other hand to push her down making it touch the back of her throat. “Oh- oh my god Adri, I’m about to cum.” Matt groaned. He released into her mouth making her hum in delight as she swallowed it and licked her lips clean. He made sure he was still in the back of the car, and not in heaven as he felt his surroundings. Adriana chuckled as she began to put her shirt back on. “Well, that was…something else.” Matt joked.
 Adriana rolled her eyes, “it’s getting late we should head back to the hotel before they think something bad happened to us.” Matt got into the driver's seat and started the car, “Sweetheart, there was nothing bad with what just happened. Sucks this is a one time thing.“ he moved his hand to her thigh lightly massaging it. “Yea…one time…right, it depends if you can actually keep it in your pants, I’ll definitely be back soon though.” Matt grinned as they pulled up to the hotel. “I’ll see you later, we can not tell anyone about this. At least for now.” Adriana chuckled as she got out of the car. “Your secret is safe with me, Massie.”
