#ahhh !!! I went to see friends today (downed 2 tests right before it)

[nim-lock]

prayer hands I did not get covid from the recent kansas city trip (very fun, had a good food & science time),,, we know people who went to ICON who are now ill, and I’ve gotten two negatives so far, so we’re just being super cautious around people until I know for certain 

[zukump3]

first time showing your legs || hcs

anon asked: I like to wear giant robes (like Harry Potter giant robes situation) because i'm very sensitive to the cold, and today i didn't wore it and my best friend was like "wtf u got legs... And they fine" (i have thick thigs) so, how would Tamaki, Deku, Kirishima and Denki to a s/o who does the same??

warnings: fluff & suggestive content, reader has thick thighs here lol, fem!reader

a/n: i can relate to this cause i also have thick thighs n never show my legs lmao

izuku never questioned how you never showed your legs

you were always in jeans and sweats

and even with the skirt ua girls wore, you always wore tights underneath

he never noticed until mineta ew pointed it out one day

“i’ve yet to see y/n’s beautiful legs, i wonder why.” he would say, his tiny fingers stroking his chin. “we’ve got to see them!”

“maybe she’s got a lot of marks on them or something?” kaminari would suggest. “or! maybe they’re really hairy. like, so hairy you can’t see her skin!”

“or she just doesn’t show her legs, dipshits.” kacchan would spit out at them. “how about you think about how you’re passing the math quiz tomorrow and not some dumb girls legs, yeah?”

ever since that day, which was about two weeks ago now

he’s been more curious than ever to see your legs

he was an over thinker, so his mind went to many possibilities of how your legs looked

maybe they were skinny and slim? maybe your knees had faces in them? maybe they really were as hairy as kaminari said...

but nothing could prepare him for the chill saturday class 1-A was having in the common area

and suddenly seeing you come out of the elevator in some black shorts, your legs exposed

and... wow.

his eyes instantly shot to your thighs

were they always that full? and... jiggly?

he can’t even look away when you sit next to him, thighs pressed right next to his

“h-hi, y/n!” he would tell you in a constricted tone, his cheeks flushed

“are you okay?” you would giggle at him and he would just nod, holding up an “ok” sign with his fingers

“perfectly fine.”

denki would probably be one that would always press to see your legs

“oh cmon, y/n! jeans again today?”

“ahhh, you’re really wearing ripped jeans? quit teasing me babe!~”

he knows you’re a bit more sensitive to cold weather than everyone else in the class and your entire body is covered whenever it’s cold

but he still just wanted to see

even when you guys studied together your legs were covered

he would literally walk around in his underwear to hopefully shed a piece of clothing from you

but you never budged.

like the kind of boy he is, he would eventually forget all about it

and get used to the sight of your legs being covered like everyone else in class 1-A

on sunday, the day right before your math test

it was particularly hot in the dorm

denki expected nothing different from you

but when you came to his dorm in nothing but one of his shirts and matching yellow shorts...

he’s never moved across the room and grabbed you that fast.

“denki?! what the fuck-“

“holy shit, you’ve been hiding that?!” he would shout at you, which would obviously fluster you

he would be playing with your thighs for the entirety of the study session

another one that wouldn’t notice at first

when the weather was cold, he expected you to be all dressed up

he would compliment you whenever you wore pants, even if u wore the most basic of sweats

“loving the grey today y/n! wait, i might have a pair that looks just like that!! wanna match?”

yes. he’s definitely gifted you crimson riot sweatpants that he bought for the both of you because he just loves you sm

when the weather starts getting warmer though and your clothing choice doesn’t change, he’d be a little worried

“y/n... do you really wanna be wearing black jeans today? the sun is out,, and beaming!”

the fact that your boyfriend cared so much and worried so much about you really warmed your heart

you appreciated his concerns too

“aww, don’t worry about me kiri. i’m fine!”

from then on he concluded that you must’ve been insecure about your legs

all the girls would be wearing shorts in the warm weather, even jiro

and you’d be the only one in pants

even if you wore baggy jeans with rips in the thighs, he still really worried for you

it wasn’t until he cornered you in your room did he actually ask

“y/n...” he would frown.

“do you feel bad about the way your legs look?”

“...huh?”

“it’s just... you never show them. and it’s getting pretty hot in japan. i don’t think it’s healthy to walk around in pants all the time...” he would say sheepishly, then widen his eyes. “it’s your choice though! i’m just—saying. not trying to police what you wear or anything! that’s definitely not manly.”

and you couldn’t help but just laugh at how endearing he was 😭

“i’m just comfortable with pants, kiri. if you wanna see my legs so bad, you could’ve asked.”

his mouth probably dropped open when you slid your sweatpants down and showed your legs

his eyes instantly shot to those thighs

and he decided that would be his favorite part of you from now on

he napped between your thighs after that <3

our quiet little baby

would always notice that you wore pants and covered your legs on a day to day basis

would he say anything about it though?

no. no he would not.

1). he didn’t feel like it was place to point it out and 2). you wore what you wanted to. who was he to question it?

but he couldn’t help the curiosity that always lingered in the back of his brain whenever you wore tights to school under your skirt

the more time he went on, the more he wanted to see what was underneath all those pants you wore.

it was a subconscious want though, so he would show it in hidden ways

resting a hand on your knee when you two would sit together

playing with the rips in your jeans whenever you wore them

or scanning your body from head to toe when you walked towards him—his eyes focusing extra long on your legs

stuff that he didn’t notice he was doing but you definitely noticed

tamaki was fun to tease, so of course

that’s exactly what you did.

you invited him over to a study session one day and he accepted

when you opened the door to your dorm, he nearly fainted

you weren’t wearing any pants.

none. at all.

he couldn’t even concentrate on what you were saying as you led him into the room

drinking up the sight of your backside, and your plush thighs...

but then you both sat in the bed and you

you covered them.

with a blanket.

he wanted to scream

the entire session he was fidgety, barely paying attention to what you wear saying

he asked you to repeat something about fifteen times

you were having entirely too much fun

but when it got the point where he could barely function you just huffed, sliding your body into his lap

“if you wanted to see my legs so bad, all you could’ve done was asked, tama.”

commence a heated make out session with his hands cupping your thighs the entire time xp

Red Eyes part 2

Okay, im starting to love this Au, 

.

.

it is nightime in the dormitory of Shinjuku.. 

The bright crescent moon shines its luminescent  like shine on the entirety of Tokyo, A small bench is layed in the center of the dormitory, Where a young chubby student is sitting,staring at they’re intertwined fingers as they sang a harmonious melody, They sing as if they’re releasing something deep, something of a sharp feeling, that they began to tear up as they sang to what appears to be a high note of the song, Swaying from left to right, in full throttle,not knowing they’re familiar voice is going to be heard by the other sleeping students.

.

And they woke someone up...

.

{Door opens} 

.A Orange haired student, waiks towards the hallway to investigate, who is singing such an harmonious tone, There they spot they’re  two closest classmates as they watch from above, as the singing fluffy haired sang to their heart’s content.. They listen to their tone, their voice and the way they sing, they are now completely immersed into listening them sing now, as the redhead starts to suggest something. 

Ryota: Shiro, should we,?

Shiro: Just a few more minutes.. 

Kengo: Im recording them, 

Moritaka: Comrades?,

Everyone: Shhh...

Moritaka: Oh, apologies, Looks like we’re all awoken due to Harumo’s singing.

Ryota: Yeah, but, i didn’t even know they sing so good..

Kengo: im gonna show this to Harumo,at the guild. 

Shiro: Save me a copy. 

Kengo: What?

They continue to listen to their  musical and tuneful voice, not knowing that a tall figure is slowly approaching the quiet four, 

Mr Mononobe: Why are you all out of your rooms? 

Everyone: Ahhh!..

Harumo: Huh?..

Shiro: Mr Mononobe?, I..i..

Mr Mononobe: No need Shiro, first time hearing Harumo sing is like one of a million chances, 

Harumo: Were you guys there this entire time?!..

Ryota: We’re sorry Harumo, it was just really good, 

Kengo: And i got all on video!.

Harumo: You recorded me?!

Kengo: What?!, Its good content! 

Shiro: Im really sorry Harumo, i didn’t mean to, i just..

Moritaka: Most humblest apologies friend, i was so drawn to your singing that i lost focus. 

Harumo: ahhh...this is so embarassing! 

Ryota: But, you sound really great when you were singing!    

Harumo:Ahhhhhhhhhhhh...

Mr Mononobe: Alright everyone go back to your rooms, You know you have a test tomorrow. 

Ryota: A T-TEST?!...

Shiro: Yes Ryota, why’d you think we held those study sessions. 

Ryota: Oh,,y-yeah, i know that!,hehehe! 

Moritaka: Lets do our absolute best tomorrow, Ryota, 

Ryota: {In not going to be able to sleep tonight}

Kengo: Hey partner!, Good singing back there! 

Harumo: Ahhhhhh....

Moritaka: There’s nothing to be ashamed off Harumo, you sang beautifly, I never heard such a meliodic tune before! 

Ryota: When did you learn how to sing like that?..

Harumo: Uhhh..From Gabriel? 

Shiro: That explains the trips then..

Without further discussion, the stunned students, all went back to their dorms and went to sleep...

..

.

.

{Harumo’s dorm} 

Lights off, only the torquoise ray of the moon luminates a small portion of your room, You appear to be having a nightmare you brows go lower, your eyes squinting at something that isn’t needed to be focused on.

{Harumo”s Dream}

Harumo: W-Where am i?!...Why is it hot in here?!, This is a dream!

Unknown creature: {Breathes fire}

Harumo: Ahh!,,what the?!,,,what the heck is that! 

An Unknowing creature that almost the same height as Shinjuku Academy, stands before you, With its wine like scales, its tin like claws buried in the ground of dream state, Spine chilling as it looks directly into your eyes with its scarlet glare, almost as if its peering straight to your soul.      

.

Unknown creature1: ......Harumo.....

Harumo: It knows my name?!, Who are you?!...and what are you doing in my dream!?

.

.

Unknown creature: ..I AM A DRAGON...

Harumo:A dragon?,,Then, why are you attacking me!?

.

.

No response from your interrogation, the dragon like creature stands there, with its intimidating stature as well as its aura like glow, looming around it, But thats not all, 

.

 .

.

Harumo: Another one?,,,what the?!,,,

Out the blue, you are surronded by 5 dragon like creatures, each with their own distinctive features, the creature to your left is a turqiouse like its from the ocean, to your right, you see a moss green with what appears to be two vine like tentacles etched at the top of their head,  

To your south-east stands  A lavender colored with its shiny scales, To your south-west stands, An earthly colored dragon, as you can tell from its boulder like skin, 

Harumo: Wha?!,,,who are you all?, why is there,,,, 5 dragons around me? 

Confuse as you are shift your gase to each and every dragon that intimidates you,As they all radiate a glow that matches their features, you can’t tell what they are, as they stare down on you,confuse and worried,for you can’t summon your sword to defend yourself, .

.Suddenly.

,.

{ROAR!}      

 Harumo: Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!

Harumo: {Gasp} 

{Alarm clock ringing} 

You’ve awoken from your nightmarish like dream, for as look at your window, Rays of sunlight pierced your awoken eyes, you check the time, to see its early in the morning, which is unordinary, 

Harumo: What was that?....Those...dragons..

{Salomon appears} 

Lil Salomon: Good Morning Master!, Whaaaa!

Harumo: Whoah!, is something wrong?

Lil Salomon: Master, your..eyes..

.

.

Harumo: {Gasp in surprise} 

You stared at the mirror for a while to process, a sudden change..

Harumo: What happened to my eyes?..    

Sunflower colored eyes, shines dimly in your eyelids as it started to glow more like a rising sun, you panic and stumble to your wooden floor in distress,

Lil Salomon: Master.!

Harumo: Hah...hah...what happened Lil Salomon?, 

Lil Salomon: Harumo, calm down for a sec, breath slowly, 

Following your faithful buttler’s suggestion you slowly inhale and exhaled your anxiety and distress away, and it worked, 

Harumo: {Inhale.....Exhale} 

Lil Salomon: Thats it Master, slowly...

Harumo: .....Okay..im calm..

Lil Salomon: Master look!, your eyes!,,,they’ve changed back!

From Yellow to change back to your usual grey colored eyes, you breath in relief for as you thought something changed in you,for what could be the reason of the sudden change in the color of your eyes?. 

The question looms on your mind, but you seem to forgot something much more important, 

Harumo: Crap!, the test is this time!, 

Lil Salomon: But master!, what about your-

Harumo: We’’ll taik about that later!, I have a test to go to! 

Rushing back and forth your room, to get yourself ready to attend another hopefully ordinary day in Shinjuku Academy,

.

.

[Shinjuku Academy} 

Harumo: Hah,,,hah,,,,hah,,i made it! 

Ryota: Guys, its Harumo!, Hi Harumo! 

Harumo: Hey guys!, looks like i made it in time! 

Shiro: Its good that you’re not late this time. 

Kengo:....   

Harumo: Did all of you study?

Shiro: Hahah, no need to ask me that question.

Ryota: A little bit.

Shiro: What?, but we held a study session in the guild yesterday!

Ryota: Hehehe, it kinda slipped my mind?

Moritaka: I studied everything the exam has in store for me, so im fully confident in my knowledge.

Toji:*Nods*

Kengo: i suddenly have a bad feelin today.

Shiro: Oh?.

Kengo: Hey Harumo!, Did something happened to you? 

Harumo: Huh?

Shiro: Whats wrong Kengo? 

Kengo: Or is it just my imagination? 

Harumo:{Does Kengo know about my eyes?}

.

.

Mr Mononobe: All right!, Students go back to your seats and prepare a pencil,pen,and eraser, 

Shiro: Everyone Stand!, Bow! 

Everyone Good Morning Mr Mononobe! 

Mr Mononobe: Okay, sit down, this is your second semester examination, And i trust you all not to cheat!, understand?!

.

Mr Mononobe: All right, you can begin!.

.Ryota: Goodluck on the test Everyone!

.

  .

.????: HEY WHOEVER HARUMO IS, COME OUT! 

Everyone hearing the angry request, they look towards the window to look upon a large muscular figure along with 5 canine therians behind them as if they’re bodyguards. 

Harumo: Who are they? 

Mr Mononobe: Now class, stay put!, im going to check what it is. 

???:HEY HARUMO YOU BETTER COME OUT! OR MY BOYS WILL YOU! 

Harumo: Who are you?! 

???: Oh..so you’re Harumo!.. Come down here!, i want to have a nice clean chat with you! 

Kengo: This asshole needs a total beating if he knows whats coming for him! 

Moritaka: How dare they act so impudently infront of our school! 

.

.

Mr Mononobe, acting as the guardian of the student requested, confronts the unknown figure with his bodyguards, 

Mr Mononobe: Now ,now, may i ask who are you?, what businness do you have with one of my students? 

???: Hey old man!, How about you bring me your student Harumo here, They have a lot of nerve messing with my boys yesterday, and i can’t sit still about the way they were treated. 

Mr Mononobe: .....Im not going give Harumo...

???: Well then....

Mr Mononobe:Oof! 

Everyone; Mr Mononobe! 

Harumo: DAD!.....GRRRRRRR!! 

 .

Shiro: Harumo?....

Squeesing the window frame, you failed to notice a sudden change in your eyes, 

Ryota: Harumo your eyes are turning red! 

Harumo: HOW DARE YOU!!

???: Now!,Come out! 

{Opens the app} 

Harumo: Grrraaa!!!

Shiro: Harumo let us help! 

Ryota: You don’t have to do this alone! 

Blinded by your own fury, you redered the ties of gavity and flew towards the group who hurted your father like guardian, 

Harumo::HOW.DARE.YOU HURT MY FATHER!!!!!

Mr Mononobe: Harumo?...

???: Lets teach this punk a lesson! Get him boys! 

Harumo: OUT OF MY WAY! 

Armed with claws, the canine therians, gracefully cut, bruised you piece by piece as your uniform gets ripped bit by bit, revealing your chubby body piece by piece, but they don’t realised, ...

.

.

It was a huge mistake..

Canine therian1: What the hell is that skin made of!? 

Canine therian 2:It feels as if we’re hitting rocks !

From the onlookers, especially the summoners, they stare in confusion as they haven’t seen this side of their loving guildmaster, While the other students stare blankly aas they are both amased or shock to see the transfer student fight against 6 against 1. 

Now back to the fight, 

???: What are you all doing!?, go one and kill that bastard! 

Canine Therian 1 :But boss!, something is weird about this kid,We can’t cut them! 

Canine therian3:They have two swords!, and...what are they doing? 

Shiro: *Gasp* No! don’t’ Harumo! don’t use the Double Dragon on them!            Kengo: Harumo!,Harumo don’t use it, they’re worth it! 

Banging on the green dome enclosing everyone inside, the muscular students pleas go to occupied ears, as they are full of rage, as seen by the wine red color change of their eyes.

Harumo: Salomon!, 

Lil Salomon: Master!,this tecnique is not worth using on them!,Reconsider your decision! 

Harumo: They hurt my dad..so punishment is needed! 

Lil Salomon: I know, ive seen it, but look!, Father is okay now! you don’t have to use the Double Dragon technique on them, it will kill them for sure! 

Harumo: No one can die inside the battle area. I’ll make them remember this pain!

Boss: Pst, what, is that a secret move your doing?, Then go one,give me your best shot! 

Kengo: You moron!, you have no idea what that move is!, it could literally destroy a meteor! You’re only digging your own graves!   

Mr Mononobe: HARUMO!! 

Harumo: *Gasp in surprise* 

Waiking from behind, Mr Mononobe approaches you calmly as you are about to unleash the one technique that could destroy even the mightiest of foes.

Mr Mononobe: ....Don’t become a monster....

Harumo:.....

Bated breath and a silent stare, for you forget that you are in a midst of a battle, taking advantage of the confrontation, 

Harumo: Oof!

Mr Mononobe: Harumo! 

Kengo: Hey thats cheating! 

Boss: Ooh, did i disturb something!,

Harumo: *sigh* 

.

“Dragonborn”

 Harumo: This voice...! 

 Mr Mononobe: Harumo!..Ahhh!!

Boss: Don’t butt in old man.. 

Harumo: Mr Mononobe?.

Boss: Hahaha,,this,, all i have to do?...This is pathetic

Harumo: Crap!

Sacred artifact Hammer in the hands of the figure looking down on you, Prepares to drop their hammer the same width of their muscular figure, on you, as if their about to execute someone’s head off, and 

..

Mr Mononobe: ..Hey punk..

Boss:....

Harumo and Kengo: Mr Mononobe? 

Boss: You’re next so--

Like the sound of a wet towel amplified about 5 times,the painful sound can be heard from the second floor where the other students gase upon from,  your finisher, launched towards the side, due the massive power coming from the loving Mr Mononobe’s punches.. 

Harumo and Kengo: Ah....ah.....       

Boss’s henchmen: B-Boss?....Holy crap he’s knocked down cold! 

The onlooking students can only leave their mouths open for flies to come in and out, as they have witness a teacher, turned into a heavyweight boxer, The Summoners stood in disbelief as they have witness a teacher’s capability in protecting their precious students...

Mr:Harumo..Are you okay? 

Harumo: I think he’s not okay..

Lil Salomon: I didn’t even know Father can throw a punch like that!..

Mr Mononobe: Us teachers should know how to fight,if we want to protect our precious students.

Kengo: Holy smokes!.....Harumo you okay? 

 Harumo: Y-yeah, im okay, though im healed now, so don’t worry. 

 Boss’s Henchmen: Hurry lets get the boss outta here! 

Mr Mononobe: I let this slide for once, But if you all dare to come after to one of my students...Then expect it to be 10x more harder.

Boss’s henchmen: Nnngg,,,,We will never bother you all again sir!

With their boss in tow, they scidaddled out of sight,, 

Kengo: Don’t ever comeback here assholes!

Mr Mononobe: I’ll forgive your word for now Takabushi,,For now, lets head back to class now, You still have that exam. 

Harumo: R-Right...

Mr Mononobe: You..refer me as...your dad?  

Harumo: Crap!,,you heard that! 

Mr Mononobe: Hahaha!, how about it..son..

Harumo:*gasp*.....Yes Dad!

Secret X Damien Haas X Reader

Thank you for being so patient with me :) I know it takes me ages to post so I’m sorry. Another Damien fluff shit. The only warnings are swearing like always. I have mentioned names of family members, I know you won’t relate to that part but just like change it in your head. 

"Heeeyyyyy! What's up guys!" Your usual loud voice boomed across the set as you spoke to the camera. "Me and the beautiful Damien are here today playing an old spoopy classic in the spirit of halloweeeeeeeeeen!" You picked up the case for resident evil 2 and waved it around. It was the remastered version but still it was going to be as fun.

Damien took the case from your hand "ZOMBIES!" He yelled as loud as he could "Throw back!" and he literally threw the case behind him hitting the back of the set. "So glad you guys could join me and Y/N watching us kill some zombies and possibly poop our pants."

"I hope I don't, I really like these pants." You stuck your leg in the air .

Damien laughed "So if you were wearing pants you didn't like pooping your pants would be perfectly fine?" 

You looked around for a second "Ermmm yeah. Anyway don't forget to subscribe and punch that bell to get notifications! Punch it, slap it, hold its hand, do what you want to the bell. I'm such a hoe for zombies so I'm just superrr excited today!" 

Damien looked at you and laughed "You a hoe?" 

"Big hoe!" You both laughed together. 

As the game started one of the crew members switched the lights off "Oh!" Damien shouted "No one told me it would be in the dark." 

You turned slowly to look at him and spoke in a low whisper "How else do you do anything spoopy?" 

"You really freak me out when it comes to horrors, like you get so into it." "Hoe for horrors." You whispered really creepily. -- The shoot was going so well, your stomach actually hurt from laughing so much. "Quick!" You shouted again "There’s a zombie! There!" 

"I know Y/N I can see it." he turned to look at you for a split second "Ahhh!" A zombie shot out in front of the screen making you both scream.

"Oh you bitch!" you basically leapt out of your seat grabbing hold of Damien's arm and hiding behind him. "Nope!" 

He turned to look at you, "You okay back there?" He wrapped one arm around you. 

"Yeahhh" Your face popped back into shot from under his arm. Looking up at him you smiled, for just a minute your eyes lingered on his face, you noticed so much more than usual. His eyes, his smile, just everything about his was perfect. You soon snapped out of it when you realised you were both just staring at each other in front of all the crew. 

"I thinks that’s enough for now!" Ian's voice came across the set "We'll break for lunch and finish this later."

"So," You turned to look at him as you picked your bag up "What do you fancy for lunch?"

"Well I said to Shayne I'd meet him for lunch, go to the cafe down the road. Wonna come?" 

"As long as I'm not interrupting your man date." Walking towards the office to find Shayne. 

Just out of ear shot "You would never interrupt anything in my life." he answered you. 

--

Lunch was nice, the three of you sat outside in the sun with a coffee and a sandwich. 

"How was the shoot this morning?" Shayne looked at you both. 

Both of you looked at each other before you answered "Yeah it was good. Nearly shat myself at one point but all we have to do is shoot the wrap up." 

"Awesome. Bet its super funny." 

Taking a sip of your coffee you couldn't help but feel something happened between the two of you. Even after all this time of you working and being friends you hadn't really noticed anything. You knew you liked him but work and friendship was so important to you, you didn't want to ruin anything. 

You realised that while you were in your own thoughts Shayne and Damien were just talking so much shit. "Hey." Damien nudged you "You awake?" 

"Yeah." You smiled at him "I was just thinking..." He was looking at you in the same way again. 

Shayne hadn't noticed anything "I was thinking you guys could come on try not to laugh together or we could do who knows best, maybe Damien best friend" He pointed at himself "and on screen girlfriend" he pointed at you "Orrrrr I dunno.. hold on I have so many ideas." 

While Shayne was scrolling through his phone reeling off so many different things the tree of you could do together, you felt Damien's hand slowly touch your knee. He was wayy too much of a gentleman to touch you thigh. As he squeezed your knee you felt your heart jump into your throat. You reached down and placed your hand on his, you moved it up slightly so he wasn't reaching so far under the table. Squeezing his hand lightly so he knew that you were okay with all of this. 

"Damien, what do you think about this?" Shayne shoved his phone in his face snapping out of his daze. 

"Ahhh, erm shnizburtness."

You choked on your coffee "Whats up?" looking at him laughing so hard. "Are you okay man?" Shayne was laughing too "Did your brain break?" "Honestly I have no idea what just happened." His side-wards smile made you heart melt. 

Shayne go up to use the bathroom still laughing to himself. Damien turned to look at you taking both your hands in his. "So what are we doing?" 

"I'm not sure but what ever it is I'm absolutely loving it." 

Already sat pretty close you leaned in a little further. You could feel your heart beating through out your entire body as you pressed your lips against his. It was so perfect like nothing you had ever experienced in your life. It was like your brain turned into fireworks. 

He moved back and smiled at you, he stroked his thumb across your cheek "So perfect." 

"Oh my god! I've just had an idea.." Shayne was on his way back "Just pretend for now that nothing has happened." He sat back down "I think we should do Who knows best.. I question you two. You can fight it out for the spot of main man in my life."

"Awesome!" 

-- As soon as you got back to the office Shayne walked ahead to talk to Ian about the plan. Just before the set the was a door that lead to the costume room. You both knew that no one would be in there as you two were the only ones in this video. He looked at you and smiled. Checking around you to make sure no one could see you, you both went into the room. You only looked at each other for a second before you literally leapt on each other. Your lips smashed together, your entire body was filled with butterfly's. You jumped up and wrapped you legs around his waist. He took a few steps forward pushing you against the wall. Half a rail of costumes collapsed on the floor. His lips parted from yours and moved down to your neck. You threw your head back letting out a small moan.

"Hey!" A voice from behind the door made you panic. You jumped off him and straightened yourself out. The door swung open and Courtney stood there looking at you both. "What are you guys doing?" 

"Nothing," You said nervously "I just knocked this stand over." 

"Why do you look so flustered?" 

"I hurt my toe..." 

"Riiighhttt. They're waiting for you guys ." 

The rest of the shoot went perfect. Ian and Garett were happy to do a 'Who knows best' with the three of you as well. It was going to be hard but you only had to hide your relationship for 3 days. 

--

It as finally the day of the shoot, it had been very difficult keeping you both a secret. There was a couple of times you had snuck off and almost been caught. But from what you guys knew know had clocked on yet. Your plan would work perfectly as long as Shayne didn't know. 

As you stood at your kitchen counter making your coffee to take to work you felt an arm wrap around your waist. You squeezed his arm making him hold you tighter. He left gentle kissed on the exposed skin on your shoulder. "Hmmm. Why did we only just decide to do this?" 

"Well, you've asked this 20 times since we first kissed," You turned in his arms so you were face to face "and how was I supposed to know you liked me as much as I liked you." You gave him a meaningful kiss.

"I guess you could say zombies bought us together."

"What can I say.. I'm a hoe for horrors." 

He laughed at you hugging you tighter "Come on you we gotta get to work."

--

Pulling up in work parking lot Courtney pulled up right by you and Shayne was leaning against his car waiting for the lot of you. He looked at you both as you got out your car "Are you ready to be shameeeedddd as I prove that I am the ultimate best friend?" 

"Of course Shayne.. How ever will I beat you?" Damien shook his head, he watched you as you walked to the offices with Courtney.

As soon as the guys were out of earshot she looked at you "Soooo, how was last night? Did he stay over? Did anything happen? Do I need to  start looking for bridesmaid dresses?" 

"Jesus Court" You laughed at her "No, nothing happened. Me and Damien are just super good friends. All this chemistry is for the fans," As you lied through your teeth all you could see in your head were flashes of the night before. The touching, feeling, searching. My god you had never had sex like it. 

--

On set you were quite excited. It was set up so you sat opposite Damien and Shayne . As soon as you all sat down you could feel Damien’s foot stroking your leg. You raised your eyebrows at him and smiled. 

"Action!" Garett shouted.

"Hey guys!" You spoke to the camera "We're here today to see who knows me best! I've been friends with Damien and Shayne for a few years now and we all know tumblr has shipped me with both. So really I guess its a test for the ultimate ship. We also have the jury sat by our side." You pointed to Courtney, Noah and Kieth sat at the side "They can give a guess if both bots get it wrong."

"So!" Shayne spoke as loud as always "Last time Courtney beat Damien and won the spot of my best friend, I shall prove today that I am the best."

"In your dreams bitch!" Damien laughed at him "Before we start can we just ask you to subscribe and punch that notification bell so you know what we're doing." 

"First question!" You looked at the cards infront of you "How many siblings do I have? Extra points for gender and names."

"Oh fuck!" Shayne said loudly "You have a huge family!" 

Damien smiled at you and gave you a small wink, luckily no one saw him. The camera probably did though. You picked up the water gun off the table and started to pump it "I fully well know they won't get this right."

They both sighed as they finished writing. Shayne went first "I guessed 2 sisters, 3 brothers. Lydia, Kate, John, Johnathon and Johnny." 

Everyone laughed at him, "John, Johnathon and Johnny?" Courtney nearly screamed at him.

"I couldn't think of other male names!" 

"Shyane! There's literally multiple males in this room!" Noah couldn't believe him. 

Still laughing you smiled at Damien "Anddddd how wrong are you?" Even though you were together you would genuinely be impressed if he got it right.  

He spun the board around "You have 4 sisters, no brothers. Lydia, Mia, Ava and your step sister who you don't actually see Jess." 

You smiled and shook your head. You pumped the gun a little more ans shot Shayne directly in the chest making him scream. "Honestly I'm impressed Damien. How in the hell did you know that?" 

"Well you know" He just shurgged "I listen." 

Courtney squeaked "That is super cute." 

If only she knew you thought to yourself. You internally smiled "Anyway next question. This one is easier. What is my favourite thing to order for lunch? I know I pretty much eat two things but I deffo get one thing more." 

It literally took them two seconds to answer which really made you think you should change up your diet. "Damien you first."

"This is also very easy.." He spun his board around "So you either get pad thai, which is most of our favourite but more than usual you get subway chicken and bacon BBQ wrap."

Shayne made a very loud noise "I said chicken and bacon too!" 

"Yep, you're both right.. I seriously need to try more food apparently."

After a list of questions you pulled out the last one smiling to yourself. You looked up at Shayne and laughed to yourself, he was literally dripping wet and Damien had got one wrong. You turned to look at the camera. "If this question wasn't so good I'd just end it here. I mean jesus Shayne! You call yourself my friend."

Damien also laughed "Honestly from this it looks like you guys have never actually met." 

"Okay!" Shayne shouted. "I clearly do not listen to you guys enough. I promise from this day forward I will be a better friend." 

You rolled your eyes at him "Anyway, final question." They started a drum roll on the table "True or false I have a secret boyfriend." 

"What!" Courtney shouted "I mean there’s no way! We would know that." You smiled at everyone "Shayne you first."

He looked around doing that fmaous confused face "I put false... because there’s no way you wouldn't tell us." 

You smiled at Damien as he spoke "So I said true..." He spun his board around "Because Its me." 

The room was silent for a second. Shayne turned slowly looking at both of you "WHAT!" He shputed the loudest you had ever heard him. 

"Wait." Kieth stood up "You two are together... like actually together." 

You smiled at him for the millionth time "Yeah we are." 

"OOOOHHHH MY GOD!" Courtney had now joined in on the screaming.  

You stood up and walked up to him to give him a hug. He also stood up and wrapped his arms around you "Sorry dude, I wanted to tell you but we thought this way would be so much funnier." 

Shayne joined in on the hug "I mean finally!" Then they all joined in for a big group hug. 

You pulled away and winked at the camera. "I just have one last thing I need to do though." You walked back round to your side of the table and pulled out the biggest water gun "I'm sorry dude." You pointed it straight at Shayne "But you did get the last one wrong!"

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE) on RockOverdose: “Our new album “The Bitter Truth” is really encouraging and empowering!”

After a quite long time, Zisis Petkanas and Katerina Mitika from the Rock Overdose family participate in a cool talk with Jen Majura, the latest member from the legendary Evanescence, and they come to know everything about their first album with entirely original material after 10 years, the long-awaited “The Bitter Truth” that is set to be released at 26th of March, in addition to how they deal with the pandemic situation.

RockOverdose: So, hi Jen, and welcome to RockOverdose Greece! How are you?

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE): Hi! Thank you so much for having me, I’m doing great, thank you.

RockOverdose: I think it’s been a long time since our last interview.

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE): When was that?

RockOverdose: I think it was 2017.

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE): Was it for “Inzenity”? My solo album “Inzenity”?

RockOverdose: Yes.

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE): Oh my god, that’s a really long time ago. Really? It doesn’t feel that long, wow, okay.

RockOverdose: We had one interview when you first joined the band.

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE): True, yes, I remember that. How I got the geek and everything! Yeah (laughs).

RockOverdose: I think it was via mail the first one and via Skype the second.

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE): Exactly yes, exactly. And now look at us, all professional on Zoom with this pandemic situation! (laughs)

RockOverdose: Yes, now we are at Zoom! (laughs)

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE): (laughs) Who knows what’s next, you know? (laughs)

RockOverdose: So, how about the pandemic situation, how are you living through this?

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE): I cook a lot, I dived into acrylic painting, I knit socks… (laughs)

RockOverdose: Oh, you knit!

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE): Yeah, it’s really tough because for the past, not 2020, nobody knew that 2020 would be the, excuse my French but shit year that it was. My life before that was only touring, airports, hotels, venues, tour bus, airplane, jet lag, airplane, hotel, venue, all the time nonstop for years and I’ve always complained, I was like “Oh man, I wish I had more time to practice my instrument and write more music”. What 2020 taught me is out of a sudden you force to stop, you’re forced to slow down and really you’re forced to stay home. At first I thought “I’m gonna play so much more guitar” but I didn’t, and “I have all this time on my hands and I can write my third solo album”, but what happens is when all of that, all of the things in your life, all the inspiration is been taken away from you and your only inspiration is your couch in your living room. It’s quite hard to come up with music and creations, I mean, what am I supposed to write? The couch blues? (laughs) It’s hard and I really believe in 2020, I have never ever ever ever, since I’ve started playing guitar, played less guitar than in 2020. It can be scary, really. I talk to a lot of friends of mine and I’ve realized this is not just me, it’s a lot of people just not knowing how to deal with this pandemic situation, or maybe by now knowing, of course, because you tried to distract yourself from like I said, with cooking, painting and other creative things, but it’s really not like “Oh you have all this time on your hands, now I wrote 3 albums”. It’s not like it, it’s unpredictable.

RockOverdose: It depends, because other musicians used this time to write songs.

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE): Some of them, yes, but not all of them! (laughs)

RockOverdose: By the way it was such a good idea, a good time to rest from touring and start other things that you didn’t do. Now, during the pandemic, you have time for other things.

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE): Yeah, and I appreciate that, especially I really enjoy cooking and painting and other things and having time for the first time. I feel, in 16 years I was longred home than just 2 months and I appreciate that time, but for right now if you ask me what my biggest wish is, is “Please, give me my life back and let me go out and play shows for the fans”. I miss connecting with the fans and no livestream online can replace that energy exchange that you have with your fans.

They give you so so much and I also believe I talked about this with my Something on 11 partner, Alen. I also believe that this pandemic situation will make us be grateful for a lot of things that had been annoying in the past, like “Oh my god I have a 2 hour lay over in London at the airport ughhhhh, sucks”. No, doesn’t suck. From this day on whenever we’re back to touring, no greasy, overpriced airport food will suck, no dressing room time to wait for the show will suck, nothing will suck, no jet lag would be bothering me ever again. I’m gonna be thankful having all these things happening in my life, right? I really believe we’re gonna come out of this pandemic as more people that appreciate and value things way more than we did before.

RockOverdose: So, let’s go on with your new album.

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE): What album? Just kidding (laughs), this is my favorite thing to do! That was like, “Let’s talk about the new Evanescence album” and I go like, “What album? Well, there’s a new album? They didn’t even tell me, I’m not even on it”. No, I’m just kidding (laughs).

RockOverdose: And the journalist stacks. (laughs) I was like, “Did I ask the wrong person?”.

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE): I’m sorry, it’s just a stupid joke (laughs). Ok, here we go.

RockOverdose: So, I think you like jokes, I suppose.

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE): Me? I never laugh, I’m very serious, I’m German. (laughs) Ok, let’s talk about the new Evanescence album, come on.

RockOverdose: Yeah, that’s the point. So, when did you start the writing process for this new material?

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE): I believe the writing process started already in 2019, but actually it started 10 years ago, because one of the songs called “Take Cover”, I believe Amy wrote it, I think 10 years ago. So, you have all these ideas on your iPhone and your voice messages but I remember when we got together in Canada after playing Heavy Montréal in Canada, we went all the way into the Canadian woods into this beautiful mansion and just spent time together as a band. You know, writing together as a band, it’s just something really beautiful that is so different from what a lot of people think. A lot of people think that Amy comes up with the songs and she goes like “Here, play what I tell you to play”, but it’s not like that. We really worked as a group together, everybody had different ideas that he or she brought to the table. Canada was amazing. The last time I saw Amy and the guys was February last year when we met up in Nashville in Studio X, I just finished playing in Los Angeles the numbshell and flew directly to Nashville. We met up in the studio and recorded the first 4 chunks of songs. Everybody went to the airport and said like “Oh ok, bye, have a safe travel back home, alright see you next month, bye”.

If somebody would have told me in February that I’m not gonna travel back to the States and see my friends for the rest of the year, I probably would have had a good laugh or something, I don’t know. Nobody expected, this just happened right after that I came back home and then out of a sudden, boom! Lockdown! And I’m like “Ugh, what?”. So, the recording process for the album was was different than how I pictured my first original musical album with Evanescence, because I saw us all together in the studio instead of me at home all by myself and just sending files. I mean, thank God for modern technologies, so it was happening, it was possible but I think what I missed most was when you’re in a room recording with an awesome producer like Nick and maybe having Amy sitting on the couch in the corner of the room, you play something and there’s always a  little feedback. Amy would go like “Oh, this is beautiful, try this again, oh this is amazing, what a great idea!” or Nick would say “Hey, do that again but try a little bit more, punch, try a little bit more, this or that” and I didn’t have that feedback, I didn’t have that input from the others. So, what happened was that Amy and the guys, they met up in the States and they were able to meet up in person, of course with all the testing and being careful and social distancing and you know, but they created the songs in the moment. In the beginning, there were talks about doing face times and having me involved but it’s just not the same, you have to be in one room as humans and everybody gives their input and that’s how you create stuff.

Then, they would send me the files that they have recorded and it was very sweet, Amy kept updating me every day, she was like “Oh, today was like this and that” and “today we did this and then Troy did that”, it was really sweet. Then I just recorded the guitars, my parts, here in Germany at my home studio and sent everything over to Nick, but, like I said, without that feedback from Amy or Nick or Tim or Troy or Will. I mean, I really appreciate every single band member and I’m glad that they give me input, I think you can only learn and become better, but there was no feedback, so I did another take, and another take and another take, I’m a perfectionist, you know. So, after taking out about 2000 guitar tracks I’m like “Ahhh Jen, man, you have to make up your mind, goddammit, just send something to Nick!”. So, I sent over the files and his first response was “Awesome!”. I remember tracking for this one particular song called, it’s our latest single that came out like 6 days ago I think, “Better Without You”, they sent the files and I listened to the song and when it finished I was like “I gotta listen it again” so I listened again. I think I listened to it 5 times in a row and then I texted Amy and I said “You know, I think the song is perfect the way it is, I’m not gonna lay any guitars on top of that song just for the sake of me playing and me showing of or credits, I don’t function like that. If a song is perfect and it doesn’t demand any more guitars, I’m not gonna play” and then I said “What shall I do?” and she’s like “Sing.” and I said “Ok, alright, I’m gonna sing on that album”.

This is something that makes me really proud, this is the first time ever in the history of Evanescence that there’s another female vocalist recorded on an album and I couldn’t be more proud about this, really, it’s beautiful. I learned about singing with Amy during the Synthesis Tour when we toured with orchestra. There were absolutely no tracked vocals, nothing, no samples, no backing vocals, nothing, it was just Amy and me singing. I think the qualities of a really good backing vocalist is when you’re able to blend in with the main vocalist, you don’t wanna push that main vocalist the way with your voice, you wanna support it, you wanna make it shine, make it bigger. I think that our two voices match really beautiful and yeah, I’m just really proud that yesterday I received my copies from the label of the new album and I looked into the booklet and it says “Jen Majura - Guitars and Vocals”. I was so proud, I’m like “Oh, this is amazing, so cool” (laughs).

RockOverdose: Yeah, it’s great! In how many songs do you sing for this album?

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE): Oh God, you asked me now? I think 5 or 6. I think so… I’m sorry, I can’t remember it, it’s so long ago when we recorded that stuff. It feels so long ago, it’s not long ago, but in the pandemic times, you lose track.

RockOverdose: Yeah but it’s really great that you are not doing backing vocals but also main vocals to this album.

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE): No no no no no, that’s wrong, Amy is totally the main vocalist.

RockOverdose: You are not main but you support Amy.

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE): Yeah, exactly, she is the voice of Evanescence and that’s completely perfect the way it is, but I just added my backing vocals and the choruses sometimes in the verses. It’s just been beautiful working on new song material because I got into the band in 2015 and all the music I’ve been playing so far sort of has been written already, so you can revisit it and listen to what she recorded back in the days for backing vocals, and you just learn what she did and you sing on top of the backing vocals of hers, right? But this time it’s new songs, it’s new energy, it’s new lyrics and everything is new in, so you’ve got this freedom to create and point out ideas like question-and-answer vocals like in “Better Without You” and it’s been beautiful. I’m really really happy that I was able to deliver some background vocals for the new album.

RockOverdose: Great. Jen, from where you were inspired for the writing of “The Bitter Truth”?

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE): As I said, I’ve been part of the writing process for the beginning but then not so much for the second half of the album, but if you take a look around on planet Earth so much is happening. You know, there’s so much that you have to process these days. I don’t wanna dive into politics, but also not only politics in the States, politics all over the place. There are so many movements, the climate change, so much is going on our planet these days and I feel like 2020 taught us that we are not in control of everything and we had to learn to kinda go with the flow. This album is an empowering, energizing feel, it’s like an inspiration to be real, to stop denial, to stop faking and just be real, face reality, that’s the bitter truth.

Even you, all of us humans, we have bruises, we have scars, we are not perfect. It’s ok to be weak sometimes, it’s ok to be vulnerable, we are humans and we need to stop this Instagram filter “I am so perfect, I can’t even believe how perfect I am”. Also, I believe that we as humans need to stand up for, to fight for the right thing, you know, not fight fight, I mean not punch anybody but have a voice because your voice matters and it matters more than ever, to just make the planet heal again and change things for the better. I really see this album as something that is really encouraging, it’s an encouraging, empowering album. I can’t wait for everybody to hear all the songs. Really, we couldn’t be more proud.

RockOverdose: Great. So, what about the feedback from the press for your new album?

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE): Oh, everybody was like “Oh my God, Evanescence put out a new original album for the first time in so many years!” and the fans! Every single we put out, I think the 5 singles that we put out by now, are very diverse. You can’t really compare “Wasted on You” which was the first single with “Better Without You” and I truly believe “Better Without You” might even be one of the heaviest songs Evanescence ever put out there. They’re very diverse one of another and it represents the variety of the sounds and the songs on the album perfectly, and the fans just love it. I mean, just imagine you love Margherita pizza and you have to wait like 9 years to get your next Margherita pizza. Did I just compare our album to Margherita pizza? But you know what I mean! (laughs)

RockOverdose: I suppose you are a little hungry!

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE): I’m hungry, I haven’t had dinner, I’ve been talking all day. I’m hungry yes!

RockOverdose: Ok, so, what are your next news regarding Evanescence?

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE): This is a question for my boss, I can’t answer that. First of all, it’s we all wait for the album release, this is gonna be amazing and exciting and you know.

RockOverdose: And I suppose you are looking forward to support it by touring.

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE): Ok, it’s very odd to put out an album and not having a tour attached to it immediately after the release. You know, it’s just first time ever in my life that I’m involved in an album release without a tour coming up straight away. So far, we still have the tour in September-October with Within Temptation, a European tour, and, like I said, the one thing we have to keep in ourselves and our guts and our cores is hope, because I really really really want to play that tour and just be back, but it’s unpredictable, you don’t know and nobody knows. We have to wait and see but we definitely have to hope to be out there soon and rock again and support the album. I mean, we try to do the best that we can, give the fans little things to connect with us but it’s just hard, everything is online…

RockOverdose: Yes, I agree. Are you planning to do maybe a livestreaming show?

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE): This is another question for my boss, not for me. (laughs)

RockOverdose: Ok, (laughs) so, let’s go on with personal questions.

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE): Oh God no, personal questions, no I’m not answering those! (laughs)

RockOverdose: But I will ask! What are your greatest influences as a musician?

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE): Oh God! Ok, I think spoken for the musician and person that I am today, I believe, when it comes to playing the guitar, one of my biggest influences is Mattias IA Eklundh of the Swedish band Freak Kitchen. He’s not only a very dear heart friend but he’s also something like my life guru, there’s so much wise stuff coming out of that guy. I like his approach, the way he sees things and he’s got this style of playing with the over-harmonics. I found it so fascinating that I find myself adapting that to my style of playing, it’s like I’m the merge of me and part of his playing. So, I think he is a big big big influence. Recently, people keep telling me that whatever I play sounds a little bit like Steve Vai. I feel very uncomfortable with that comparison because Steve Vai is just, I mean, come on, it’s Steve Vai! And I’m like, “I’m just JenJen”. It’s a very charming complement and maybe they talk of certain scales or brain wired ideas that I have, I don’t know, but that was coming up lately a little bit.

And I think Amy inspires me, really, because we have a lot of things in common but I respect her so much as not only a fabulous musician, not only a vocalist, but musician. She’s a strong woman, she knows what she wants, she is the leader of this group that I’m allowed to be part of and I think she is a big inspiration in my life as well. And a good friend.

RockOverdose: And how do you feel for being an Evanescence member so far?

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE): Well, what can I say, come on. Ever since I joined the band it’s been a cool ride. Touring with Evanescence is like being on a big vacation that is amazing with your best friends and then, on top of that, you get to play these amazing, awesome, fulfilling shows. I feel like I’ve been eating so much bullshit in the past that I am allowed to relax a little bit now in this band. For the first time, I have a band with where everybody is friends. I thought this is not the norm, I thought there’s always gonna be like the one stinkface, but it’s not. Evanescence is like, not only the band but the crew and the whole team, we’re all one. That’s a very very beautiful thing and I really cherish that a lot. Yeah, well, minus 2020 right? Because it’s been such a good, great year! (laughs)

RockOverdose: Ok, so, which is your favorite Evanescence song?

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE): To play live?

RockOverdose: To play live and to listen to.

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE): Um, I might have to renew that now that we have new songs, but I first of all have to play the songs live to decide if I wanna change up that list, but so far, it’s been always “Disappear”. The song “Disappear” is my favorite track because it’s such highly energetic and we trade solos, Troy and I, and I just love that song. To listen to… Oh, I don’t think that anybody has ever asked me that… You know, the beautiful thing, the beauty about music is that you listen to music and it can create emotions and, like, videos in your eye in your head: landscapes, sceneries, pictures.

Music is creation and when somebody listens to music and gets all these visions and emotions and pictures, that is the goal of music. You don’t make music for the sake of money, that’s definitely not what you do. You do it because music is touching and it’s touching your soul and if music really is touching, this is the goal. So, I believe, I have moments where I’m like “I love to listen to “Made of Stone””, then I have moments where I’m like, I don’t know, “I love to listen to dreamy stuff like “Lithium””, it’s hard to say. You can’t really tell because it always depends on the mood.

RockOverdose: I have to agree with you. Do you have any other side projects?

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE): Oh yeah, we released an album, Something on 11, working with a partner from Croatia, another guitar player called Alen Brentini and we released an album, I think, when was it, November? I think November Friday the 13th (laughs) and this is just a fun project. The meaning of Something on 11, when we put our heads together to think about writing music together, the core of Something on 11 is to literally show the middle finger to mainstream. Middling, well, you have to have a certain song structure. No you don’t.

We have a song with a hookline, a chorus that is a guitar melody but there are vocals in the verse, I mean, who the hell does that? We also have a song with a giant, big drum solo in the middle, right in the middle of the song, or a couple of songs where you would have a big, dynamic breakdown in the song and then you have tabla and dobra and synth sounds and the song is breathing. It’s just very unconventional songwriting. I am singing, I’m playing guitar and Alen is singing and playing the guitar. We put that out, I think, mainly for ourselves because it’s been a lot of fun working on these songs and they are all very crazy and diverse, kind of like the style of my solo album “Inzenity”. It’s very very diverse and very enjoyable to listen to, very playful.

RockOverdose: So, what are your memories from our country, Greece?

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE): It was hot. I’ve been to Greece exactly once in my life. I think it was a festival, right?

RockOverdose: Yes.

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE): Wow God, it’s just been so long ago, was it 2017? It’s been long ago, and I remember I was so excited, I said “Oh my God, for the first time I’m gonna come to Greece and I wanna walk around and find a local market” and “breath it all in, the culture, the food, the people”. I was so excited, and then it turned out it was so hot that I couldn’t even open the window of my hotel room. It was just so hot! And we gathered, we had a band dinner, it was a beautiful restaurant and we could see the Acropolis, it was really beautiful, and the food was great, but the only thing that I was concerned about was I got my makeup running down, my contour is, like, I’m sweating like crazy, it’s just too hot! (laughs)

RockOverdose: Too hot, yes! It was at Rockwave Festival 2017.

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE): Thank you, so that was when it was and I think that also in the backstage it was super hot. I had to jump into my stage pants and I was like, “Ughh am I ever gonna make it into those leather pants and make it out of those leather pants again after the show?”, it was just really really really hot. I hope next time we return I will get a little bit more time because I so much want to experience the country and the culture. This is the beauty about when you tour, you get to see countries like Brazil or Japan, Australia and it’s so exciting and so beautiful, but if your shoes are melting when you’re walking outside, this is not fun to experience a culture! (laughs) It was just too hot!

RockOverdose: My God, it was too hard!

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE): I felt like I had, I don’t know, 60 degrees or something, it was just way too hot! (laughs)

RockOverdose: It was on July, I think.

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE): Super summer, in the middle of summer, yeah. It was tough! So, dear Greece promoters, if you hear this and you wanna book Evanescence, please book us in Spring or Fall so that I can go to a local market and buy some olives and experience the Greek culture a little bit more than instead of putting us into an oven!

RockOverdose: (laughs) Would you like to leave a message to the Greek fans and your fans worldwide?

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE): Especially to the Greek fans, because you’ve guys been so amazing, I’m following everything that our Evanescence Greek Fan Club posts and you’ve guys been so supportive and loving and passionate and we can’t, really can’t wait to come back to play for you live and connect with you again!

RockOverdose: Great! I have to thank you for this interview.

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE): Absolutely, sure, anytime!

RockOverdose: I will let you now to rest, I don’t know if you have another interviews afterwards.

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE): Thank you! I will stop talking now! (laughs)

RockOverdose: And have some food!

Jen Majura: Yes, I’m gonna eat something, exactly. Not sure what I’m gonna make, maybe I’m gonna use some feta cheese right? Because inspired from this last interview. Overbaked, filled mushrooms or something.

RockOverdose: Or pizza Margherita!

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE): Or pizza Margherita, exactly! (laughs) Thank you so much for this chat, it was just so much fun to reconnect and be back with you! Thank you so much, that was fun!

RockOverdose: Thank you, thank you! Bye bye!

Jen Majura (EVANESCENCE): Have a beautiful evening! Bye!

tw/ swearing!!! dirty talk, heavy groping(and booty smacking), dry humping 🥵

Bakugou, Katsuki

Being the type of guy Bakugou is, you know he’s gonna get as much of you as he can.

Though he doesn’t really like to show PDA at school beyond holding hands or embracing one another, he occasionally will pop up while you’re about to take a “bathroom break”

(going to the bathroom and just sitting on your phone and messing with your hair/makeup because, well, you ARE the girlfriend of the rebellious ass of the school so you might as well try to be the nicer part)

But somehow, he always knows when to find you.

And pulls you into a nearby janitors closet every time.

You know it’s him just by the grip that he has on you.

how it should hurt by the way it looked, but he was so passionate as grabbed you by your hips and hiked up your skirt; lifting (yanking) your legs off the ground and around his waist

“Oh (Y/N), I’ve missed you a lot today.” He groans as you’re pushed into the door with his body. His lips and tongue meet yours as he snakes his right hand up your body to squeeze your cheeks together; forcing your mouth open as he lapped at your tongue.

Instantly, you salivated.

You loved when he was like this.

During these closet visits, it’s clear that he must have had something crazy happen in class where somebody said some “u t t e r bullSHIT” about team work or gotten pissed off at his internship the day before.

“Uhnmm, ‘Suki~,” you moan in his ear, his mouth marking your now exposed collar bone and neck. “I’ve missed you more.”

did you— did you just... ch— challenge him?

WHAP! The sound of his hand was louder than the hit, but oh did that do something to you.

“S-So lewd, S-Suki.”

“Yeah?” He says more than he asks, pulling his bottom lip between his teeth as he returns his hands to your ass and rubs the hardening length under his pants against your aching core

You know you shouldn’t have challenged him. The smell of your arousal was filling the tony space, and he moaned at the familiarity.

“You think that I’m lewd, princess?” He growls, “That— That ffucking smell, that’s what’s lewd.” He groans as he continues to grind his pelvis into your hips.

His whole frame was shadowing you, and you couldn’t help but moan at the naughty idea of him taking you like this later tonight.

But right now, you knew the deal; No sex at school.

But..... you can makeout right ?

“God, I wish I could fuck you, right here, right now.”

‘Ahhh, so somebody was butthurt at training?’ You think to yourself.

That meant only complete submission would get him to actually do something.

And God, did you need him to actually do something. (and you knew just how to get what you wanted)

“But, Daddy, our ruuuuleess.”

“Motherfuck— Gah!” He growls,

There’s only one word that can kick Bakugou into ‘fuck them kids’ mode.

“(Y/N), don’t you dare—“

“What’s wrong, Daddy? Can’t handle a challenge like this at school?”

You’re such a minx.

“You’re gonna fucking regret those words, Princess.” He said through gritted teeth, that shit eating, wild, and downright sexy fucking pull of his lips ignited a fire in your stomach.

You were in for it now.

Todoroki, Shouto.

This guy wasn’t as bad with PDA as Bakugou

He was focused on his studies, sure!

But that didn’t mean he had to protest every time you curled up into his lap in homeroom or during those gruesomely boring days where the tests were too easy for both of you.

He loved the way your hair smelled, even as your head was nuzzled into his lap.

He especially loved when just the two of you would sit under a tree on the school grounds, you straddling his lap as his back pressed into the tree

You’d sit there, reading a book to him, leaning your head on his shoulder, just at the crook of his neck.

He couldn’t resist touching the soft skin under your school uniform.

Your thighs???? His delicacy.

Your hips???? So squishy.

Your breasts??— wait

“Sh-Shouto.” You say breathlessly, his aimless wandering unintentionally causing a stir in your stomach.

His mismatched eyes snapped up to meet yours.

“Oh, I— I’m sorry, love, I guess I spaced out a bit there.”

“Mm.” You nod, waiting for him to realize where he was caressing.

He had traced circles on your lower back, but the warmth of your skin started dropping as his hands wandered up and around your body

The pregnant pause gave him anxiety, so he immediately looked for signs of what went wrong.

His face flushed immensely at the sight of your top unbuttoned enough for his hands to slip through, resting one at the back of your neck as the other was cupping your breast underneath a bralette you wore

“I— I didn’t mean to. Please forgive m—mmph.” His moan in your kiss, the way his breath hitched as your tongue met his, all factored into the heat pooling between your legs

He inhaled sharply, squeezing his eyes shut as your hands snake around his neck, deepening the kiss as you lift your hips up, only to scootch themback down(catching his hardening member between your folds on the way)

His trembling exhale only encouraged you further as you kissed his jawline

down his neck

until you found his perfect little weak spot

“(Y-Y/N).” He squeaks out, his cheeks flushed so red you’d think he would have activated his quirk.

“Hmm?” You hum, fluttering your long eyelashes up at him.

“We’re outside.” He warns, looking around at the empty yards

(it was lunch time and too windy for most students to enjoy the outdoors, but you two reveled in isolation.)

“Nobody’ll notice.” You say innocently, hands ready at his belt, teasingly dipping a finger in and out of his waistline

A beat passed before a playful smile grew on his face.

“I have to leave early to see my mom today.”

“I can fake a cold from the weather, and meet you at the dorms in 10.” And with a passionate peck, you were off

Midoriya, Izuku

On the surface, your boyfriend Deku seemed like a pretty innocent enough guy

key words being: “on the surface”

deep down, he was a raging pervert

and you relished in it

Usually.

Caught him (purposefully) jacking off in his dorm? You jumped him.

Walk in when he’s having a wet dream? He’d fuck your face when he’d wake up.

and gooodddd was he so needy when he was horny.

“Baby, cmon it’s just a game! I thought you’d wanna do the challenge for your american friends.”

“A pocky challenge?” You giggle as you walk away with him, his arms tightly wrapped around your hips as he pulled you into his body.

He nuzzled his face into your hair, the box of pocky digging into your hip as his arms squeezed you. “Please, (Y/N), it’ll be fun, I-I promise.”

You huff in response, stopping to remove his hands gently and face him.

“Fine. But later, kay?”

The gleam in his eye was bright, but something else was hidden behind it. You wouldn’t know until now, what exactly clouded his mind as he heard you agree to this challenge.

You were filming (on your bed) for your video to show your friends, your recorded content never to see the light of day , when Izuku had removed his shirt.

“What are you doing, weirdo?” You giggle, but you’re blushing, looking at the viewfinder in confusion and embarrassment.

“It’s hot in here,” He blatantly lies, the grin on his face anything but sweet. You were wearing a camisole style crop top, and a black pair of soffe shorts, a preferred lounging outfit you changed into after school during the warmer days.

“U-Uhh, okay. So, he-here’s the pocky. I got cookies n cream flavor! So u-uh, D-Deku?” You say, going along with his obvious plan.

He was already in your face, his body hot from the state he was in. Apparently being a teenage boy meant times where he was just so horny he had to have you as much as he could.

“Let’s get started.” He grabbed you by the face, a bit roughly, but here you were, mouth agape too far for pocky, salivating from the way he pulled your bodies together by your head.

He had already ate half the pocky by the time it hit your tongue, and he moaned once his own met your lips.

Your pursed your lips quickly, knowing he would take advantage of your well-coated tongue if you let him.

His brows furrowed at your aversion, his hands dropping to your hips, harshly pulling them into his pelvis. Your legs twitched as you felt something throbbing, and hard, grind against your clothed center.

You gasped as you chewed the sweet snack, breath hitching as his tongue retreated with a groan of determination as you opened your eyes and met Izuku’s emerald irises; glossed over with lust.

It was — enticing.

Heat creeped up your cheeks as he bore into your soul, a small smirk beginning to grow as your mouths inched closer together.

You weren’t going to chicken out, however.

Not when he would try to dominate you like this.

Your own smirk grew as you finished the last bite, quickly turning towards the camera, and pushing his body back onto the bed. You sat on your knees, leaning forward to end the recording:

“Looks like it was a draw. Neither of us pulled back before the pocky was done!” You beamed, but in the view finder you see Izuku; His pants pulled to his knees, and hand palming himself over his boxers as he stared at your ass bent over in front of him.

You bit your lip as you watched him, the silence and lack of movement alerting Izuku of your gaze, meeting it through the viewfinder as he licked his lips.

Quickly you turned around, grasping his face with one hand as you pulled him into a sloppy, yet passionate kiss

He moaned beneath you, one hand gripping your ass as he guided your pussy along the length of his boxers

“Ohh~ Doll, I-I’m... mmph—“ You kissed him again, you knew he would be quick the first time so, might as well help him out huh?

You rocked your hips against his body, sandwiching his girth between your folds.

“I know, baby,” You cooed, saliva stringing between your lips and his.

You pressed your lips against his harshly, picking up the speed of your hips, his desperate pants proving his near orgasm.

“You’re so fucking good to me, baby, h-humping my cock, I—I’m so spoiled to have such a nnn-aughty girl like you.” He moans, his jaw slacking as he bucks his hips up into you.

You moan at his dirty words, ‘There you are, Izuku.’ You think to yourself. You secretly loved his lewd and perverted side, it made you feel special to be the only person getting this rise out of him.

Midoriya’s teeth sinking into your semi-exposed chest pulled you from your thoughts as his member pulsated, the hot liquid in his boxers seeping past his layer of protection and mixing with your own arousal-leaking core.

“Uuhhmmph— Baby~” He moans on your skin as his orgasm settles.

“Don’t worry. We’re just getting started. Okay, doll?” He smiles

GOD BLESS ITS HOT IN HERE!!!! who was your fave??? lmk in the comments & dont forgot to send in your requests 🥰

I Hate You, Park Jimin!

I was done with classes for the day. I glanced at my watch. Ah Young should be done by this time too. We had the same class this morning but she had taxation classes just now while I took financial reporting. I texted her but there was no reply so there I was standing awkwardly in front of my locker looking at my empty phone.

I sighed as I looked up. About 3 metres away, I noticed a familiar back, Park Jimin. He was at his own locker, and seemed to be forcing his books into his locker. Beside him leaning against the locker was Kim Taehyung, his ultimate best friend and absolute partner in crime. He too had the divine visuals, perfectly sculpted features. Damn those jawlines. A combination of Park Jimin and Kim Taehyung were very dangerous.

At that moment, Kim Taehyung’s eyes flickered at me. I froze. Is it possible that Kim Taehyung can read minds? Then he looked at Jimin. He said something and there’s a high probability that it was about me because Jimin stopped whatever he was doing and turned around, his eyes finding me.

My eyes widened. Shit. Thank God I was saved from the embarrassment of staring at the two Godly handsome men by Ah Young running towards me.

“Hana!” She said as she flung herself towards me, breathless. “I’m sorry I was late! I got called by Professor Kay on my essay.” She rolled her eyes as she opened her locker door and stacked her books inside.

“It’s fine,” I said. My whole body still tensing because I was unsure whether Jimin was still staring at me. I sneaked a peek. And yes- I regretted it instantly. My eyes met his. Immediately I looked down at my shoes.

“Hana-ya.” Ah Young nudged me.

“Hmm?” I said without looking up, pretending to be particularly interested in my shoes today.

“Hana.” She called me again.

“Hmmm..”

“Park Jimin is staring at you.” Her voice went serious.

As if my whole body could get anymore stiffer. “No, he’s not.”

“He. Is. Coming. Here.”

“What?” I looked up and momentarily I thought I forgot how to breathe as Jimin made his way towards me.

Suddenly I felt a firm hand clasped my elbow and the last thing I saw before I was whisked away by Jimin was Ah Young’s shocked expression with her mouth wide open. He steered me away for a good five minutes and I could see other students turning twice at the sight of us. He pulled me into an empty lecture hall and after closing the door carefully behind him, he turned around to face me.

Wait, I was mad at him right? So I put up the coldest expression I could.

He cocked his head to one side and I swear he looked so hot. I cursed my own brain as I felt my anger evaporated effortlessly. “You’re bad at being angry.” He smiled in amusement.

I snorted. “What do you want Park Jimin? I don’t think we have any business with each other anymore.”

“Let’s do it.”

What? My eyes went round. “What did you say?”

“I said let’s do it.” He calmly repeated.

I regarded him for a moment. Was he trying to pull a prank on me? “Why?”

“I need to graduate and there’s nothing for you to lose I guess.”

I considered his point. It was true, there was nothing for me to lose. The amount of money offered to me as mentioned by Ms Choi was lucrative. Triple the amount I earned from my part-time job at the cafe. Does Jimin know about my financial situations? I mean, I can live by but it would be nice to have savings or being able to afford nice gifts for my mom. But I wasn’t going to let him get his way so easily. “No thanks.” Before turning on my heels and making my way out of the lecture hall, I could see his shocked and confused expression. Oh, how I want to picture and savour the image of shocked Jimin forever.

The next morning I woke up feeling content. As I brushed my hair, I smirked as the image of shocked Jimin crept into my mind. The rude, obnoxious, vain, self-centred and full of himself Park Jimin. Park Jimin, THE bad boy. And to think that I somehow managed to put a shock expression on that Godly features of his face.

I arrived at the campus feeling giddy. I don’t have the same classes with Ah Young this morning so I was saved by her infinite inquisition, for now.

As soon as I was done filling my bag with the next subject’s books, someone shut my locker door. I looked up to see Ah Young. She crossed her arms.

“What?” I said, feigning innocence as I turned on my heels. I knew what was coming.

“Oh no girl. You’re not running away.” She blocked my path.

I rolled my eyes in exasperation. “What?”

She threw me an incredulous look. “You need to spill the tea, sister! You and Park Jimin. What is going on?” She was almost half screaming and her hands were now on both side of her waist.

“Oh my god- keep it low!” I glared at her as I glanced sideways, making sure no one was paying attention to us. I dragged her to the cafeteria and chose the furthest seat available away from any other human in existence. Then I told her everything. I was dead serious but I almost couldn’t suppress my laugh each time Ah Young ‘oohh’ and ‘ahhh’ at the appropriate time.

“What the fuck?!” She was literally hyperventilating.

I nodded as if saying ‘I know right.’

“Oh my god! I can’t believe it. This is your chance to get into his dick!” She shrieked while vigorously tapping the table.

My eyes widened. “Ah Young!!!” I glanced around. Thank God no one had their eyes on us.

She seemed oblivious to my state of panic. “What? Don’t tell me you don’t have a slight crush on him? He’s a fine piece of ass.” She stared into space dreamily. “I wonder how rough he is in bed.”

“Oh My God!!” I quickly clasped my hands on her mouth, afraid that she would drop another bomb. Trust my best friend to be this straightforward.

“Hhvgrnkk-“ Her voice muffled below my hands.

I chuckled but released my hands anyway.

“But I said no to him.”

At this, her mouth went agape. “Are you kidding me?”

I shrugged. “He was getting too cocky! I am sure as hell not going to feed his ego.”

“You can’t be serious! You have this golden opportunity to get his dick and you’re throwing it away just like that?”

“You’re making me sound like a slut. Girl, it’s just a study session.”

“I know. But it can always evolve to something else.” She winked at me.

“Yah!” I wanted to hit her but she was quicker. She stood up and ran away, laughing.

Days passed and every single day I caught Jimin trying to catch my gaze. He seemed pissed off that I’ve been trying extra hard to avoid any eye contact with him. Ah Young kept telling me to stop my act already though. Apparently I am throwing my chance away of getting into the divine man that he is, Park Jimin’s pants. I ignored her every single time. I smiled satisfactorily. This is my victory.

I was happily skipping my way out of Ms Choi’s room after I submitted my assignment that evening when I felt my wrist being pulled by someone and the next thing I know I was in an empty lecture hall.

“What the-“ I almost cursed when I saw Jimin pushing me against the door. The close proximity was making my breath uneven. Park Jimin with orange hair was illegal.

“So you thought it was fun to test me?” He said, his voice low. His hands on both side of my head. His face inching closer to mine.

“W-what are you going to do?” Damn it, I stuttered. I looked away.

“I’ll show you how fun it is to test me.” His tone laced with threat. I gulped. What is he trying to do?

He inched closer and closer. When I felt like he wouldn’t stop, I mustered as much courage and pushed his shoulders away while closing my eyes.

To be frank, I was scared of his next action. But I didn’t sense any movement so I slowly open my eyes and I saw Jimin blinking at me. His face confused as he stared at my palms on his chest and back at my face.

“I-“ I began but no words came out. I felt my cheeks reddening and I pulled my hands away.

He smirked. “I haven’t even laid a finger on you and your face is already this red.” To my relief, he backed away. “So, I guess if you don’t want anything of this sort happening again, I suggest that you accept the proposal.”

I considered saying yes, I really did. But my pride just won’t let me especially when he tried to threaten me with what-? Trying to touch me? Park Jimin is indeed a jerk. So, naturally and firmly, I replied, “No.” My pride stood up, clapped loudly and bowed with a flourish. I smirked at him and turned on my heels immediately.

Days after that, I think Jimin had sort of gave up trying to earn a simple ‘yes’ from me. I couldn’t care less. I was happy enough that he practically had to beg although obviously he didn’t because he tried to threaten me but it’s his loss so I just continued to fan my ego.

Ah Young on the other hand seemed to disagree with me. “You’re probably the only person in this world who dared to say no to Park Jimin.” She said as she shook her head at me.

Lunchtime that day, we both decided to eat outside near the bleachers. There were a few boys playing basketball at the court. We sat there munching on our food.

“You know, I really think it’s time for you to say yes to Jimin now.” Ah Young said as she took a huge bite out of her Subway.

I rolled my eyes. “Not again, honey.”

“I mean seriously! How long do you think you can run away from him? He may be hot as fuck but he is also scary as hell.” She reminded me.

As if on cue, we heard some noises that caught our attention. We searched the court to find the source. We sat quite far at the bleachers so I zoomed my eyesight to my best ability and could make out some boys were fighting at the court.

“Holy shit- see? I told you Jimin is some scary shit.” Ah Young said, her eyes fixated to the court.

What? I squinted my eyes. Holy fuck- I could see Jimin was in a fight with one of the boys playing basketball. I did not realize he was one of the players just now. The way he threw his punches mercilessly.. I shuddered. Perhaps Ah Young was right, I should probably stop messing with him. He’d beat me into a pulp in an instant if he wanted to. But would he? Another voice popped in my mind. I never see him beat girls. But best not test his patience Kim Hana. The small voice in my head nodded in agreement.

That evening, as soon as I was finished with my classes, I stood waiting at my locker. Jimin’s classes finished at four too today. I watched his locker like a hawk, waiting for his appearance while also trying to remain inconspicuous. A few minutes after that, he walked past me and went straight to his locker. Beside him was Kim Taehyung.

I had no idea since when did the prospect of talking to Jimin become so easy, I found myself taking strides towards him. Jimin had his back on me while Taehyung leaned against his locker. When Taehyung saw me, he gave a signal to Jimin. Shit, now that I’m here it felt like my legs had turned Jell-O. He turned around and there he was, his visuals blinding me as usual. I struggled to remain composure.

He raised his brows at me. “Yes? What can I help you with?”

Shit. Am I going to say it? Have I really decided this? My mental war must’ve gone on for quite some time as Jimin had now propped his elbow on his locker door. “Let’s do it.” There, I said it.

He then leaned in closer and closer to me I had to step back. “Are you sure about this?” He asked, his voice low. I cursed because it’s unfair to how sexy he sounded.

“Yes.” I answered.

He raised his brow as if perplexed by how easy I came to a conclusion.

I drew a breath. “I’ll tell you when to meet. Since this is very sudden, give me some time to prepare-“

“Tomorrow.” He cut me.

“But I haven’t-“

“2 PM. Library.” He finalised, already turning on his heels while Taehyung followed suit after regarding me for a moment.

[concentrateandpush]

Lauren had worked in the fast food restaurant for 4 years, her and Dan were studying the same degree. Sometimes Dan would come and eat before the end of shift so they could walk home together. She was the girl next door and they'd lived next to each other their whole lives.

They were best friends, always had been, but one night when the families had a barbeque, both Lauren and Dan had a little too much to drink and ended up sleeping together, nothing more was said and they kind of forgot about it, despite it being both of their first times.

It was getting late and Lauren was sweeping up and in scrolled Dan, he was wearing his typical attire, a check shirt, jeans and DMs. The shoes were something that him and Lauren shared a love of.

"Hey hey hey, could I get a cheese burger and fries with a coke please madam?" Dan asked hanging on to the bar weightlessly.

Lauren chuckled and replied with "Only if you'll walk me home" and with out hesitation, Dan bowed to imply yes.

Lauren had been getting so tired recently, her back was hurting and she constantly had headaches, she assumed this was because of college stresses. But today, she was feeling super crampy, she put it down to not having a period for so long as she had always suffered with irregularity.

"You dont look great Lau, are you ok?" Dan had picked up on her uncomfortable stature. "I guess, I think I just need a hot bath, not long anyway, 45 minutes left then I can leave" Lauren powered through until she went in to the kitchen and picked up a dust pan and brush. As she bent over she felt such a strong pain that she fell down on all fours "F*ck" she shouted, it was a pain she had never experienced before, like a cramp but with severe amounts of pressure.

Gordon, the chef, went over to Lauren and asked if she needed help, by which point Lauren was embarrassed and ran to the bathroom. She slammed door behind her and sat on the toilet seat looking at the mirror to pep talk herself.

"Hoo, okay, not long left then you can get out of here, get some pain killers, have a bath and chill out, you'll be fine, stop thinking about it and it'll go away it's just a period pain, it's been months, it'll all be ok" as she said the last word the pain came back, but somehow even stronger. "Ahh, shh, hoo hoo hoo" she couldnt understand what was happening but heard the bell go off for service, gathering herself and breathing through the pain, she ran out and grabbed Dan's meal and took it to his table.

"What's going on with you? You're sweating, you really dont look well, are you ok?" Dan knows Lauren so well, he can tell something isnt right. "Honest, I'm fine, girl troubles I think" Lauren laughs nervously and runs back to the bathroom to look at her period app. The app she uses tracks periods, ovulation and sex, so when she had sex with Dan it's logged in her diary.

She slept with him in January, her last period was two weeks before, that was 9 months ago. "No, no, no, f*ck" with the realisation of what's going on dawning on her. She locks herself in a cubicle and takes her fingers to her self and touches the area, inserting her fingers slowly to see if she feels anything, she questions whether or not she would be able to feel anything, would it be too early? She feels around forcing her fingers as high up as she can and she touches something, as she touches it, a load of water floods out of her.

"Oh f*ck, I need help, I need to call someone, stay calm, I'm so stupid, oh my god it hurts so bad" panting and crying, she gets her phone out and calls her best friend Sally, she always picks up first time, breathing as rhythmically as she can so when Sally picks up she can talk

"What up gurl" Sally answers.

"Ok I need you to not freak out" Lauren warns Sally.

"What's going on? Where are you?" Sally demands.

"Okay, I need you to listen. About 9 months ago, we had a barbeque and Dan came over, I may have had a few too many drinks and we kind of.."

Sally interrupts Lauren "Girl, tell me you didnt have sex with Dan?! Are you kidding me?"

"Yes, we had sex, but this is serious, how soon can you get to the diner?" Lauren asks.

"If it happened 9 months ago why.. is this a prank? Holy shit Lauren, are you having a baby?" Sally says, putting 2 and 2 together.

"Listen to me, come in through the back door, DO NOT speak to Dan if you bump into him, come straight to the bathroom, I'm in here and I need help, DO NOT bring anyone and do not tell mom or any of my brothers"

Sally doesnt even answer and hangs up, Lauren knows she is on her way. Breathing through the contractions, Lauren has so many things on her mind, where is the baby going to sleep? Should she call Dan in? Does she even want a baby? She rubs her underbelly and realises how much weight she had put on, having always been plus size, she never noticed any difference as her clothes were so baggy.

Ten minutes pass, the door slams open and she hears Sally "Lauren?" She slams every cubicle open and Lauren pushes her door wide. Shes sat on the toilet seat and her legs are wide open, she's in the disabled cubicle so there's loads of room for Sally to get in.

"How long have you known?" Sally asks, offended that he didnt tell her.

"I didnt, I had no idea until the water came out, I haven't even done a test, Sal please help, I can feel something up there, will you look? Is that awkward? F*ck here it comes again"

"Right, Lauren look at me, you can do this, yes it's scary, but I'm here and I'm not leaving. Open your legs up, breathe through the pain and let's see what's going on yeah?"

Sally takes her eyes of Lauren's sweaty, red face and looks between her legs, "oh my god Lauren, I can see the head, the head is coming out, have you been pushing?". "No, hooo hooo, I didnt know if I should, how far out is the head?" Lauren asks as she reaches down and feels the head poking out, "Sally, go and get Dan, I think he needs to be here" Lauren orders.

Sally gets up and goes to the door until Lauren shouts "Wait, please dont go, I need you here, ahh, I dont think I can do this, I dont think I can get it out" she's overwhelmed and frustrated. "Of course you can, you can do anything, here let's get you on the floor, I'll put down my coat, sit on this, get comfortable".

Lauren is half sat up and half lying down with her hands supporting her weight. "I think I should stand up" she says frustratedly. "Okay, maybe try squatting?" Sally suggests. Neither of these girls have even seen someone give birth let alone given birth themselves. "I need to scream, but I dont want anyone to hear, I need Dan".

Lauren starts actively trying to push out the baby, panting through the pain panting, pushing, panting and pushing until she feels the ring of fire. "Sally, rub it, It hurts to bad, rub the sides, please please. Hoo hoo hoo hoo, am I stretched out fully? Ahhhh nghh". "Stay calm, the heads nearly all out, you're doing so well, I'm rubbing around the head, does this help?" Lauren starts to run her fingers around the head with Sally. "I need to push more, nghhhh, hoo, ahhh AHHHH" pushing as hard as her body will let her, gritting her teeth, the whole head is out.

"Lau? Are you in here" Dan shouts from the outside of the door.

"Dan?! Come here, come in the bathroom, please, ahhhh, DAN" Lauren shouts, needing his support, begging for his help.

Dan comes in the bathroom and opens the door to the disabled cubicle to see Lauren, legs spread and his childs head hanging out of her. Lauren is surprised that he smiled excitedly firstly, then he kneels down and holds her hand "Is it mine?" He asks. "Yeah, it's yours" she smiles. "You should have told me, I would have helped you" he says with a frown on his face. "I didnt know, I had no idea, I.. ngh, ahh". "Come on, let's get this baby out" Dan orders.

"Come on, push as hard as you can, like you're going to the bathroom, come on, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. That's so good Lau, now try holding for 10" Dan guides her.

"How do you know that?" Sally asks, curiously.

"I helped my sister give birth to my nieces, the ambulance didnt come fast enough" Dan answers.

"Come on, push down here" Dan puts his finger where Lauren can push, "Let's do this, pushing after 3 for 10 seconds, come on".

"Ooooooooooooooooooo" Lauren is in the zone and is pushing, shes almost singing with the sounds she's making. "Well done, you're getting there, the shoulders are the hardest part, just concentrate and push, okay?"

Lauren nods and pushes down as hard as she can "nggggghhhh, get an ambulance, it's coming out" Sally runs out and tells the chef to call for an ambulance and runs back in as fast as she can "Mmmfffff, shit, whoooooo, AH shit". "You're doing so good, you're beautiful doing this, you got the shoulders out, let's just push now and it should just slide out".

With one last push the baby is out and Lauren and Dan are parents.

October Writing Challenge Day 4 part 2 project: bts shapeshifting light weapons au content: eventual ot7, fantasy, shapeshifting weapons sorta like soul eater, parallel worlds I guess?  warnings: mild fighting against monsters  an: ok so this is stuff that Ive already written for this au but Im planning on writing more so I wanted to have this stuff posted already bc it explains the world pretty well.

The stars overhead are a little too bright. A little too big, too close. If Hoseok looks up at the sky long enough, he can actually pick out sharp pointed edges to them. He tries not to look at them and pretends the natural light illuminating his path is moonlight instead of starlight.

Namjoon is leading him along the path at a brisk pace— not quite a run, but it’s fast enough that Hoseok feels a little less panicked about… well… everything. There’s not enough cover out here and Hoseok is terrified of seeing another one of those giant creatures. 

He spots the building, standing in a small clearing. It’s a nice change from the seemingly endless twisted trees on one side of the path and the barren field on the other. 

“What’s that?” he asks Namjoon. It’s a question he’s been asking a lot in the past hour or so. 

“The house? It’s safe,” Namjoon answers. “My friends are in there.”

“They’re like you?” Hoseok says.

Namjoon doesn’t respond until they reach the building. He ignores the door and goes to a boarded up window instead, knocking rapidly on it. “It’s me! Open up!”

A brief moment later, a board covering one of the windows slides and moves out of the window. It’s barely enough space for a person to squeeze through.

“Come on,” Namjoon says. “It’s safe in here.” He glances backwards, and Hoseok does as well. He can’t see anything, but those things from earlier came out of nowhere. Hoseok turns back and climbs through the opening. 

He finds himself in a large room that’s got building materials piled up against the walls but is otherwise empty. Well, empty except for another guy holding the board that must have been blocking the entrance. Hoseok eyes him carefully and moves aside as Namjoon gets inside. The guy then wedges the board back into place.

Hoseok glances around the dark room. There are no light fixtures on the ceiling and no other sources of light save for the starlight sneaking in through cracks in the boards. He feels marginally safer, though. As long as nothing scary is going to jump out at him like earlier.

“Hoseok-ssi,” Namjoon says, “This is Jungkook. One of my friends. And… where’s Jimin and Taehyung?”

“They went out,” Jungkook says. “There was a pack of Shadows that was getting close, so they went to drive them back.”

Namjoon looks worried. “How long ago was that?”

“Not long,” Jungkook says. “But they’re careful. I’ve been watching through the windows just in case Taehyung-ah puts up a firework.” He looks curiously at Hoseok. “So who’s this?”

Namjoon gestures towards the far wall. “Let’s talk in the inside room. It’s complicated.”

Hoseok’s eyes start to adjust as Namjoon guides him through the dark building. It’s a bit like an old farmhouse, he thinks. The first two rooms are sparse, mostly full of wooden supplies and tools, separated by heavy doors. The third room feels much more lived in: resembling a kitchen and more familial storage area. From there, a narrow stairwell leads up to a room with beds, couches, clothes and sheets hung from the wooden rafters above. The thing Hoseok likes more about this room is the larger spaces in between the boards, allowing more starlight to pass through to illuminate the room. 

Namjoon leads Hoseok to a couch with two blankets thrown across it. Hoseok takes one and wraps it around himself. He’s not too cold with his jacket and layers, but the lack of any kind of external warmth here is unnerving enough to send more chills than usual through him. 

Hoseok has so many questions, things he’s still rattled by, but for now, he’s just relieved to be inside. 

“I have more things to explain to you, Hoseok-ssi,” Namjoon says. “But first, I need to tell— Jungkook. Hoseok-ssi is a handler. He’s not from here. He’s from another world, I think.”

Jungkook’s eyes are wide. “Really? Where did you find him?”

“When I was in town,” Namjoon says. “There was a light from the river. I went to go check on it and he was there. There were a few Shadows already on him, so I went to help him out. He brought the light out of me without me even realizing it. We destroyed the Shadows.”

Hoseok watches Jungkook’s reactions. Namjoon’s explanations from earlier didn’t really explain much, but he’s had a little bit of time to try and process them. People here can turn into weapons. Light is dangerous. Hoseok is special, because of what he did when he was holding Namjoon-turned-into-a-bow. Namjoon can turn into a bow and shoot arrows made of soft white light. 

“You’re both magic weapons then?” Hoseok says.

Namjoon nods. “Jungkook is a pistol. And you saw what I am. And what I can do, when the conditions are right. Doing that can destroy the Shadows, but it’s also dangerous because it can attract more attention if you’re careless about it.”

Hoseok pulls the blanket closer around himself. “And that goes for all types of light? Fire too?”

Namjoon’s face turns more serious. “Yeah. It’s… that’s sort of how all the handlers disappeared here. After the sun disappeared and the moon went dark, they couldn’t stand it. They tried to survive with fire and other types of light, but the Shadows got too strong. I’ve never even met one before, not until you.”

Hoseok looks from Namjoon to Jungkook, who is standing near the window, looking outside. He feels so out of his depth. He’s so scared and he just wants to go home. Namjoon is kind and definitely pretty resourceful, but he already told Hoseok he doesn’t understand how he made it to this world. He’s not going to have any suggestions for how to send Hoseok back. And, considering all of their problems with the terrifying Shadows, it feels like it would be selfish to ask. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Yoongi should have just stayed inside today. 

He tries to rationalize how it’s not his fault that someone was dumb enough to set off some kind of bright ass firecracker at the shore of the creepiest, darkest lake around. Probably some idiots testing out their light instead of keeping their heads down and not causing trouble. You know, like a rational person. 

Unfortunately, Yoongi can hear the person screaming even from his little fishing hut. If he squints, he can almost make out the small gang of Shadows chasing the guy. He frowns and tries to look for the person’s friend and finds nobody. What the hell? Who just leaves their friend to get hunted down by the Shadows just to save their own skin? They’ve got to be close, to set off light of that magnitude. What a fucking shitty ass betrayal.

Yoongi sighs heavily, shuts the door behind him, and throws himself into a full sprint. The guy is running around aimlessly, the Shadows following him out of curiosity more than anything. That’s good for now but eventually he’ll get tired and the Shadows will get him. Yoongi has to slow down as he gets closer, but he quickly sees an opportunity.

“Change!” he yells, running for the guy. “I’ll help you push them back!”

“Ahhh!” the guy screams. “Help me!” Instead of turning into whatever form he has, he just runs for Yoongi with open arms. 

Good grief. Yoongi isn’t exactly comfortable in his sword form, but what the hell ever. He’d rather not be swung around by a panicking fool, but he’s more concerned about the four Shadows than he is about being dropped. 

He changes and even has the decency to land himself in the guy’s right hand. 

“Ahhh!” the guy screams again, dropping Yoongi just as he expected. “What’s this! What’s this!”

“Don’t drop me!” Yoongi yells. He’s a nice guy, okay, and he doesn’t normally yell at strangers, but this is kind of a dire situation. “Pick me up! Scare them off!”

“Ahhh!” The guy won’t stop screaming, but he picks Yoongi up again and holds him in a position so unbalanced that Yoongi is sure he’s going to be dropped again. The Shadows slow down to a stop, uncomfortably close but not close enough to be in range of Yoongi’s blade. They’re bigger than the usual Shadow that Yoongi encounters. Very bad.

“Quit panicking!” Yoongi says. “They’ve stopped, now swing me around a bit. Act threatening!”

Unfortunately, this guy is incapable of getting himself together. It’s like he’s never dealt with a Shadow before. He goes, “Ahhh!” again and swings Yoongi in the most wobbly manner ever. Yoongi actually feels a bit sick from the motion. One of the Shadows moves back a bit, though.

“Do that again,” Yoongi grits out. “But please, just try to get yourself together. It’s fine, I’m not gonna let you die. It’s going to be okay.” 

“Oh god, oh god, oh god,” the guy says. He’s shaking, but he adjusts his hold on Yoongi and yells again as he slashes the air in front of him wildly. This time, two of the Shadows back off and the smaller of the two runs in the opposite direction. The two that are closest to Yoongi and his unfortunate partner aren’t convinced by the show. One lumbers closer.

“Fuck,” Yoongi mutters. That light display earlier was pretty impressive. It makes sense that these Shadows wouldn’t be easily scared off. 

“One more time,” Yoongi says. “You can do this. Come on!”

“Ahh!” the guy screams, but this time it’s in a wild desperation. He brings Yoongi back with more force to prepare for another swing, and something resonates within Yoongi. His heart beats harder, louder. His mind feels at peace. The guy swings him and the brightest light Yoongi has ever seen in his life pours out of his blade. He feels the light slice through the Shadows, including the one that had turned and run. The light pierces through the dark lakeshore all around them and eliminates every shred of darkness. 

Then, as quickly as it came, the light is gone. The Shadows are gone. Yoongi is in his human form on his hands and knees, shaking. What just happened?

“What the fuck did you do?” he gasps. He looks back at the guy, who looks just as panicked as when Yoongi showed up. 

“C-can you tell me where I am?” the guy says, sounding like he’s about to start crying. “I’m so scared, and confused. I was just at the train station, it was morning, and then all of a sudden I’m here and it’s night— oh god, what if I’m on drugs. Someone roofied me. Oh god, I want to snap out of this. Can you find me a hospital? My phone is dead.”

Okay, this guy is nuts. Yoongi groans and rubs at his forehead as he makes his way to his feet. “Come on, we need to get to some shelter before more Shadows show up. You can stay with me until your friend shows up again.”

“My friend?” the guy says. “I’m not— who are you talking about?”

“Whoever was with you to make that light earlier,” Yoongi says. “You’re traveling with someone, right?”

“I’m not here with anyone,” the guy says. “I don’t think so anyway… there were a lot of people at the station, but there was nobody when I ended up here. I wasn’t traveling with anyone. I just ended up here alone. Until you showed up.”

Yoongi shoots the guy with a skeptical look. “So what, you made that light by yourself?” He didn’t realize that was possible. But that’s not the important thing here. “Are you insane? Were you trying to draw the attention of the Shadows? You know you could have gotten yourself killed!”

“I don’t know what’s going on!” the guy says desperately. “This place is so scary, and those monsters started chasing after me, and you turned into a sword! I don’t understand how any of this is happening! I feel like I’m in a movie, and I want to go home!”

Okay, this guy is more nuts than Yoongi initially thought. But between dealing with crazy and dealing with more Shadows, Yoongi would take crazy any day. He sighs, rubs at his eyes, and motions for the guy to follow him.

“You can find your way home after we wait out the Shadows that are bound to come after that light,” he says. “I’m not staying out here any longer. Come on. My place is just over there.”

“Thank you,” the guy says, sounding more subdued. “I’m sorry, I’m just so confused. Thank you for helping me. I don’t know what would have happened if you didn’t show up.” 

Yoongi is pretty sure they’re both aware of what would have happened if he didn’t show up to help.

“My name is Kim Seokjin.”

“Min Yoongi,” Yoongi says. 

“Thank you, Min Yoongi-ssi.”

“Mm-hm.”

Seokjin doesn’t say anything else during the short walk to Yoongi’s place. Yoongi makes sure to shut the door firmly behind him— normally it’s not a problem, the Shadows don’t bother with this place because it’s so dark already. But he can’t be too sure now, after that impossible light Seokjin somehow pulled out of Yoongi.

That’s… that’s something that confuses Yoongi more than anything. He doesn’t know Seokjin. There’s no way there could be enough of a bond between two strangers to draw out that much light. Killing Shadows is next to impossible, and somehow Seokjin did it without Yoongi even realizing it was happening. Yoongi doesn’t even know what kind of light he can produce; he’s never managed anything more than a soft glow in the past. 

Yoongi takes out a spare mat so he and Seokjin can sit on the floor, as far from the door as possible without being on Yoongi’s bed. He’s not that hospitable. Seokjin is looking around a bit uncomfortably.

“Do you have a lamp or a candle?” he says. “I’m sorry, if you prefer the dark, we can stay like this, but I’d rather be able to see your face. I’m still a little— I’m very spooked from those things.”

Yoongi blinks slowly at him. “A candle,” he says slowly. “Like… those things that people used to light on fire.”

“Yes?” Seokjin says. “Um. But, like I said, it’s okay—”

“You’re really not from around here, aren’t you?” Yoongi says. “That, or you have an actual death wish, which I can’t believe, because of how you reacted to the Shadows.” This is so confusing. This guy is acting like he has no idea how the world works. Children know that light is dangerous and how to avoid making it, even before they learn how to speak full sentences. What’s with this guy? How did he end up at the lake in this state?

“Um,” Seokjin says. He pulls his coat closer to his body. That’s another strange thing. He’s dressed in the strangest style Yoongi’s ever seen. He said something about a train. Yoongi knows trains haven’t run since shortly after the sun went dark. They were magnets for Shadow attacks. Even running without lights, the fires in the furnaces would attract dozens of Shadows, who would swarm the engines and tear through the people inside. 

“I’m sorry,” Seokjin says. “If you don’t have anything like that… I didn’t mean to… I’ll just wait until morning and I’ll go and try to find my way home.”

“Morning,” Yoongi repeats. “Seokjin… I don’t know where you’re from, but in this world, there’s no morning.”

Seokjin goes still. “In this world? What are you talking about?”

Yoongi has a suspicion. It’s crazy and impossible, but so is a stranger pulling light like that out of Yoongi with no warning. “Seokjin, can you describe the place where you’re from?”

“It’s… it’s Seoul. I mean, originally I’m from Gwacheon. But I moved to Seoul to train to be an idol. Seoul is a big city. The biggest in Korea. There’s so many people, so much to do. It’s nice, but I miss home sometimes. Gwacheon has some of the most beautiful parks—”

“And you have the sun,” Yoongi interrupts. 

Seokjin nods. “Of course we have the sun. I think the world would freeze into a ball of ice without it.”

Yoongi lets out a shaky breath. “Seokjin, we don’t have the sun here. Wherever you’re from, I can say for sure it’s not here. I don’t know how you got here, but you probably need to learn some things about this place if you don’t want to run into more Shadows and get yourself killed.”

Got7 Reaction To You Having Twins

Admin Sebastian: Ahhh I was really excited about this one!! Hope you enjoy it. Also I am posting for once? Amazing.

Mark

You and Mark had been trying to start a family for about a year now. After being happily married for 4 years, you both figured it was time. So far, your attempts seem to be going nowhere, and you both began to worry if either of you had a fertility issue or if either of you had a medical problem you weren’t aware of. 

Several doctors visits you and Mark decided perhaps now just wasn’t the time. It hurt both of you, and your friends, family, and even Mark’s fans could see your energies weren’t as high as they use to be. Mark was especially saddened, he wanted to be a dad so bad. To spoil his child, play with them, help them with school, everything.

You had missed your period but kept it from Mark. You figured if this was another false alarm, you didn’t want to break his hopes even more. You set up an appointment at the doctors for about a month from now. You figured if you hadn’t gotten your period by then you could cancel.

Soon enough, it was appointment day. You still hadn’t said anything to Mark, at this point you wanted it to be a surprise because you know he will be more than excited. You step into the building and sign in, waiting patiently until you are called back.

After about an hour of waiting you are called back. They take that they need to take a pregnancy test and the positive results are back quicker than expected. They get you set up for an ultrasound, and at this point, you are getting nervous. You had wanted this for so long, and you were definitely excited, but a huge part of you began worrying.

“Alright, this is going to be cold.” The doctor says as she rubs the gel on your stomach. You hiss a bit as it was pretty cold. Soon enough the contents of your stomach are shown on the screen.

“Oh! Do you see that?” She asks, pointing at what looks like 2 misshapen orbs. “You are pregnant with two. Congratulations!”

Two? You thought to yourself. All this time and now you will have two? I can’t wait to tell Mark! 

You hurry home, ultrasound picture and test results in hand.

“Mark! Jagi! I have a surprise for you!” You say excitedly as you enter the living room where your husband is sat watching tv.

“What is it?” He asks. You sit next to him and hand him the pregnancy results first. All it reads is positive. His eyes widen and his smile grows wide. “Really?!” He says.

“There is more.” You smile and hand him the picture. “We are having twins!” He is unable to stay still and is practically bouncing off the couch.

“I can’t believe it! I am so happy Jagi!”

JB

When you and Jaebum found out you were pregnant, you both couldn’t be happier. You both had been wanting this for so long, and it was finally happening. However, your first appointment just so happened to fall on a concert date, and it broke Jaebum’s heart.

“I really want to be there with you, I feel like I need to be.” he sighs. You give him a soft smile and shake your head.

“No, it’s fine! I’ll be sure to get a picture for you. You have to stick to your responsibilities. The last thing you want is to disappoint your fans. Besides, there will be plenty more!” You reassure him.

“Ah, you are right.” He smiles, giving your temple a peck. “You always know just what to say.” He gives you a warmhearted grin.

When you and Jaebum shared the big news to the other members, they were all ecstatic. Every single one of them kept going on about how they couldn’t wait to be uncles, and how they were going to spoil your kid rotten. Especially Jackson. He seemed almost more excited that the two of you were. It made your heart flutter knowing your child was going to be raised as part of a family as wonderful as this. 

After what felt like years, it was finally the day of your appointment. You had already sent Jaebum off with a kiss and wished him good luck, and now you were on your way to the doctors. You arrived at the office and checked in. You were about 5 minutes early, hoping if you arrived closer to the appointment time you wouldn’t be stuck in the waiting room for too long. You were right. The nurse had called you back right as you finished your patient paperwork, and your nerves were going through the roof.

“Is this your first pregnancy?” The nurse asked as she was helping you get ready.

“Yes, it is.” You smile, laying back on the examination table, your belly exposed.

“That’s wonderful! Congrats.” The nurse smiles. “Your doctor should be in shortly.” She explains before leaving the room.

Your doctor walked in a few minutes later and you both exchange greetings while she starts prepping you. The gel she placed on your belly was cold, but also warm at the same time. It was odd.

“Oh wow! Congrats!” The doctor smiled. “They both seem to be right on track and healthy.” 

“Both?”

“Yes! You are having twins.” 

You couldn’t believe what you were hearing. Not only were you pregnant, but now you are having twins? Are you going to be able to handle having twins with Jaebums busy schedule? These same sorts of thoughts stir through your head your entire drive home. You were excited, of course, but some part of you couldn’t help but worry. You were especially worried about how JB was going to react when you told him the news.

You arrive home and knew Jaebum wouldn’t be back until late so you decided you were going to tell him tomorrow, and you were quite exhausted with everything that has happened today, so you went to sleep early.

You awoke the next morning feeling even more anxious than the previous night. You know no matter what Jaebum will be happy and you are certainly happy but... twins is a lot to take on, especially in the prime of JB’s career and your own work life.

Jaebum was already awake when you got up, so you joined him out in the kitchen where he was cooking you both breakfast. You walked up behind him and wrapped your arms around his waist.

“Good morning~” You smiled. He jumped, your sudden appearance surprising him.

“Ah! Hello!” he chuckled. “Food will be done soon.”

“Alright! After we eat I want to talk to you about the ultrasound.” You smile. JB lights up instantly, nodding quickly.

Breakfast was really good, as always. You have always enjoyed JB’s cooking.

You and Jaebum were now sitting in the living room, after you had grabbed the pictures and whatnot from your appointment. 

“Alright... this is kind of big news, are you ready?” You asked.

“Of course! I am so excited to learn about our little bean.” He smiles, placing a hand on your belly.

“Um... you mean beans.” You say, handing him the picture, clearly showing 2 figures.

“No way...” His eyes widened, looking at you and then the picture. “Is this a joke? Are you pranking me?” He asks, voice shaking with excitement.

“No, this isn’t a prank. We are having twins.” You smile. He wrapped his arms around you and giving you a tight hug.

Jackson

The day you and Jackson found out you were pregnant was one of the best days of your life. You two had dreamed of starting a family from the beginning, and you knew Jackson was going to make the best dad. You both couldn’t wait to share the news with the other members, as well as your families, but had decided to put it off until after your first doctors appointment, both to make sure everything was going well and to have actual photo proof to show everyone. 

Jackson took the day off to join you at the doctors, which it was going to be a pretty slow day anyways. Just some practice and a meeting, nothing he couldn’t miss out on. Plus he wouldn’t miss this for the world, as family always comes first in his book. You both sat nervously in the waiting room, waiting to be called back.

“Ah, I am so nervous...” You say, looking at Jackson.

“Don’t be, gongjunim. Everything will be fine. I am so excited to see our little one!” He smiles, placing a hand lovingly on your stomach. You smile back.

“Ah, me too. We’ve waited for this for so long... even though we didn’t expect to start much later this feels right.” You say, resting your head on his shoulder. 

“Y/n!” a nurse says from the door. You both walk back with her, and she sets you up in a room. You lie down and wait for the doctor, Jackson by your side and holding your hand. 

The doctor entered the room, greeting you both. She took down some basic information, and then began prepping you for the ultrasound.

“First pregnancies are exciting!” The doctor smiled. “How long have you two been together?”

“We have been married for five years, we’ve been dating almost eight.” You answer.

“If it was my way we would have been together sooner.” Jackson joked. The doctor laughed, and began the ultrasound.

“Everything is looking fine! They are both at a good size, and I don’t see anything that would warrant any concern.” the doctor smiles.

“Wait... both?” You ask.

“Yes, from what I can see it seems you are carrying twins! Congratulations!” 

You turn to Jackson with a huge smile.

“Did you hear that? We are having twins! Two!” You squeal. Jackson squeezes your hand, returning your smile with equal intensity.

“I am so excited!” He says. “I can’t believe it...twins...” 

Jinyoung

Jinyoung and yourself hadn’t planned a pregnancy, infarct you were both wanting to wait awhile longer before starting a family due to time retrains on both ends. Neither of you felt you’d have the time to make a family work, but fate had other plans for the both of you.

You had missed your period, and not just by a few days but by nearly half a month at this point. You didn’t trust store bought pregnancy tests, so you made an appointment to go to the doctor, but decided to not tell Jinyoung as he would just worry and you didn’t want to interfere with his schedule.

“I am heading out, I will be back for dinner. I promise.” Jinyoung said, pressing a kiss to your temple and waving goodbye as he closed the door. With that, you got ready and headed out yourself: being careful to give Jinyoung plenty of time to be gone himself.

After signing in, you were called back fairly quickly.

“So what brings you in today, Y/n?” 

“I am about half a month late for my period.” You explain.

“Ah, I see. Do you have a history of this at all?”

“No I do not.”

She went through and asked a few other questions before taking the samples for the pregnancy test. You figured it would take a few days for the results to come back, but to your surprise you got them that same day. The doctor then suggested an ultrasound, just to see how everything was going, and you agreed as you would rather be safe than sorry.

The ultrasound itself was also very quick, but what the doctor told you would change your life.

“Twins? I am pregnant with twins?” You asked, your mind a bit fuzzy with the news.

“Congratulations! I bet your husband will be so happy!” The doctor smiled as she cleaned the gel off of your stomach. You certainly hoped so.

You got home just before Jinyoung did.

“I am back Jagi. How was your day?” He asked as he entered the house.

“It was good!” you responded from the kitchen where you were getting ready to cook dinner. “Can you come here for a second?” You asked. Jinyoung entered the kitchen and leaned on the counter next to you.

“Did you need something, y/n?”

“Er... no but I have some news.” You said.

“Oh?” Jinyoung raised an eyebrow

“Yeah. I went to the doctor today because I uh... I missed my period... and like I suspected, I am pregnant.” You said. Jinyoung’s eyes widened.

“Oh! Oh, jagi, this is great news!” Jinyoung smiled.

“With twins...” You finished, nervous of how he would take it.

“Twins?!” he gasped. “Oh.. y/n.... I am so happy!” He said with a giant grin on his face and his hands clasping together.

“You are?” You smiled.

“Of course I am! I know we always talked about starting a family later but... now is a good time too. We can do this, Jagi.”

Youngjae

Your pregnancy was not at all a shock, you and Youngjae had been planning on starting a family the last two years and just hadn’t had any luck. Finding out you were finally going to have children was the greatest new the both of you had heard in a long time. However, you had not expected the fact that you were having twins.

“You mean I am having two?” You ask the doctor who was currently giving you your ultrasound.

“That’s right! Congratulations! I am sure your husband is going to be very happy.” She smiled. You had certainly hoped so.

You decided to tell Youngjae the good news over dinner. You made the reservations at his favorite restaurant and then proceeded to get ready, knowing Youngjae was probably almost ready himself.

“Ah, I am so excited! We haven’t been out in a long time.” Youngjae smiled, grasping your hand and squeezing it softly.

“I know! I figured we might as well enjoy it now while we can.” You smile back. “Between your career and being parents, we probably won’t have times like this much.”

“Nonsense, we’ll always make time for this.” He counters before you both enter the car and head to the restaurant. 

You are seated rather quick, and your orders are placed not too long after. You both make small talk about work and also plans for preparing for kids.

“Actually.. there is another reason I wanted to go out tonight. I got some great news at the doctor today...” You start, grabbing the ultrasound photo from your bag. “We are having twins!” You hand him the photo.

“Wha?! 2? Ah this is great news! I am so happy!” 

Bambam

Bambam had been looking forward to starting a family with you since the day you got married. He had always wanted kids he could spoil and give every ounce of his love to, and the fact that that was finally happening made him ecstatic. 

“I am so happy, Jagi~ Our family is going to be so beautiful. I hope we have a boy first. I want to make sure our daughter has a wonderful big brother to protect her.” He smiled as you two were cuddled on your bed, his hand rubbing your stomach and pressing soft and sweet kisses against your jaw. 

“Will you be able to go to my checkup with me tomorrow? I know you have been pretty busy with the comeback happening soon.” You ask, tracing patterns onto the back of his hand.

“I will! We don’t have anything going on tomorrow thankfully. I am glad I get to experience this with you.” 

“I am too! We should probably head to bed, though. The appointment is pretty early and I don’t want to be cranky.” You laugh.

“Aish, you are never cranky! We probably should, though.” He agrees, turning off the lamp on his nightstand before setting back down.

You both awake bright and early, getting ready for your appointment. You were nervous. What if something was wrong? You knew something unexpected was going to happen, you could feel it in your gut and you couldn’t shake the feeling the entire time you were waiting.

Eventually you were called to the back, and the doctor set up everything and got your ultrasound started. Your heart was racing, hoping your feeling was wrong and everything was going fine.

“Good news! Everything is going fine. Both of them look healthy and seem to be right on track.” The doctor comments.

“Wait- both?” Bambam questions.

“It seems that Y/N is having twins!” The doctor explains.Your eyes widen and you quickly look over at Bambam and he is staring off, rubbing his lip as if he is lost in thought. Your stomach tightens. ‘oh no...’ you think ‘he is upset.’

“So many clothes... I will have to start my shopping earlier than expected. My children will only wear the best of the best.” He finally says.

“You aren’t mad?” you ask. He furrows his brows.

“Why would I be mad? It just means I will have more cute children to dress up~” He smiles.

Yugyeom

The day you found out you were pregnant changed Yugyeom’s and your relationship entirely. You were both happy, but you can tell Yugyeom was nervous. All the other members had statrted their family’s already and are doing great, what if he couldn’t do the same? What if he couldn’t keep up with the challenges being a parent brought? You reassure him as much as you possibly can, knowing he will do great but you know he won’t stop worrying until your child is actually here.

Today was your first check up, just to make sure everything was going as it should. it would also be the first time Yugyeom and yourself would see a physical picture of your child. You were excited.

“I am glad you are able to come with. I was worried you wouldn’t be able to get the time off.” You admit to Yugyeom as he drives you to the doctor.

“It’s only right that I come with you. Besides, this is a bit of a slow period for us. We don’t have a lot going on so it’s fine.” Yugyeom explains, flashing you a soft smile. “Plus I didn’t want you to go alone and get nervous like you do.”

You roll your eyes. “Oh shush, you are probably more nervous than I am right now.” You tease lightly.

“Maybe.” He laughs.

You arrive at the doctors and check in, fill out the necessary paperwork, and then wait to be called back. Soon enough you are, following the nurse to your room.

Getting everything set up and ready to go happened fairly quickly, and soon enough the ultrasound had begun. 

“Oh! It looks like you should start planning for two additions to your family. You are pregnant with twins!” The doctor smiled. You couldn’t help but smile to. You looked over at Yugyeom who was sitting in his chair, hand over his mouth, looking like his world was crashing.

“Are you okay?” You asked, your voice soft but worried.

“I was worried about the one! How am I going to be able to handle two?!” He says.

“Hey! We got this. I promise. Our family is going to be the best family. Don’t put so much pressure on yourself, yeah?” You smile, reaching out and placing your hand on his shoulder.

⚠️~~~⚠️~~~⚠️The rest of this post is unnecessary bonus manju material⚠️~~~⚠️~~~⚠️

I had report on the Loveless final compiled together from way back on March 28th 2019, so I’ll post it here again to give a small taste....!

●The stage lighting for Namid[A]me was apparently breathtaking, they made it look like it was actually raining, ●Yumao used a real gong for Social Clock. ●During Senseless Wonder yg went all the way over to snd’s side of the stage, stuck his body against his, and they played it out together. Then came the encore MC break.

●Yu started cheering himself on, while making flamboyant poses: "Yumaooooo!!  Oooh~!  WOooooOOah *rough voice* !!💪( ＞ω ＜💪)” Crowd: “You’re so cool~!” Yu: “Thank goo~ *Goes to a cutesy voice*” “You’re so cute~!” “Thank goo. Thank you!” SND: “Hey dude, they’re all callin’ ya cute and cool y’know.” Yu: “…(short pause) Thank goooo~~~”

wowaka: (laughing) We’re done, that's all we need for MC ahahaa.

●Leaving members stuck on what to ramble about, they’ve already talked so much throughout the whole tour, what’s left? So wo suggested that they do a re-cap on all those fun boring discussions they’ve had. Omnibus time. 

●Back when the Japan was collectively swept off their feet by the Olympic ice skater Yuzuru Hanyu-kun and his performance, wo had also praised him during MC.  Yet just thinking about him puts pressure on Yumao, it inspired Yumao to do his best. And as the next song on Rie’s set list was the inspirational Memai, he concentrated so hard, poured himself in and played super neatly, “Oh shit oh no oh shit, Hanyu-kun makes me nervous.” Yumao explained. 

●During the span of the tour SND fell off the stage way more then once... SND: “The skin on my back peeled off once too.” Yu “Eeeh?!” SND “Saying it peeeled all the way off is an overstatement but..” ”Well then the scab ripped off.” “Seriously?!” “But it healed nicely.” “Ahh” “After that, in Niigata, when I went to brandish my guitar up with a “pwooosh” towards the roof, it went bonking into my forehead.” ●SND’s middle finger had also stopped moving, (nerve palsy maybe??) During Talkie Dance there’s the “piropiropiro” where a “pero, pero” bit comes in between (Queue SND and Yuma singing the riff together), which is very straining. He has to press his fingers against the strings one by one to play it, he was scared but nonetheless. So Yuma watched him at the piropero part wondering “Oh no oh no is it gonna move? Is it moving today??””

When it came down to it his middle finger moved for him so thank goodness... (Manju comment: SND is this karma for all the times you gave the crowd the middle finger when they cheered your name,,, or flipped off girls who waved at you, or giving wo the middle finger a lot? God I love you)

●Yumao “Also ygarshy laughed ONCE!” “There was the one time I was talking nonstop (queue SND and Yumao making “blaghblergh” noises together to imitate him). When yga let out a chuckle, which made me super proud in front of everyone… I went Wahooo!!! but turns out it wasn’t because my story was funny or anything.  It was because yga was off on his own! Testing how many candies he could eat before we would shut up!” SND: “Did you chuckle because you finished the third candy?” yg: “Uhhh” SND: “Well tell us about it.” wowaka: “Is this the first time he’s talking?” yga: “See, I always think our encore MCs are… long. So I feel like having some candy. I was originally worried I wouldn’t be able to finish eating one in time, the song would start and turn into a problem, but.... it turned out that day’s had become the longest MC yet. I lost my inner bet, damn it, I thought. You guys really can talk. Three whole candies worth of talk! So I laughed, and Yumao thought I was laughing at hims story”

Yu: “Yeah yeah!! Honestly the story I had been telling didn’t have a punchline, so I just used your laugh as an escape.”

SND “Foolish” Yu “Yep” wowaka “Well that day the most” Crowd “laughing” Yumao “...Thank goo~ (laughing)” (Yumao you never have a punchline I swear to God I love you too)

●wowaka talked about the story from back when he used to be so so scared of standing in front of people. In middle school his teacher chose him to represent his class in the English speaking competition, yet he was so afraid that he just, went out to the podium crying hysterically. “I can’t talk English in front of everyone waghhh....”

But now he’s able to do >this<. He’s become such an adult. 

SND “I bet there wasn’t even as many people at the competition as there is people here today, haha and you’re able to even talk naturally here, eh, look at you.”

Yu: “Ahh even SND’s such a big boy now~.” SND: “Well we all have.” ●They announced the next nexUs tour at the Loveless tour final. “We just love doing shows” 

●Also Pre- Little Cry Baby emotional speech from wowaka.   “In living we find cool things and sparkling things, yet there’s moments when we betray those things, we worry if ahhh was I wrong with that, there’s so much of this, in actuality that’s all I do, yet still we’re made out of things we can’t throw away, that’s what I think, what is it! Like those sorta texture that have a paint dried over them, like things that are just superficial just… Those are things that I have NO FUCKING  interest in! Like it’s that, c’mON, with music, people are just humans!! trying to be, they’re trying to do what they can do! I have interest in things that only humans can do, some things that can even surpass human, and that’s what fuels me to do music. As long as you follow me, I feel like ,, I could go anywhere!!!!! thank you always, thank you for making me!! Thank you for being here!!!”

This was also the showing they used during the Memorial Service on June 1st… STAFF WE ARE GOING TO CRY “Thank you we were Hitorie, let’s definitely! *through deep breaths* definitely! Meet again!”

Also some from IKI

●wowaka’s mother came to this show.... As divulged in this interview. THE ORAL CIGARETTES had sent Rie flowers in celebration of the event, which were on display at the venue.... Shiohigari SND’s good friend went, also the Synth player of the band “the telephones” who took the picture that’s featured on this blog) went also! ●Before Shutter Doll Yumao did his signature, Yumao! Yumao! Yumao! cheer on rhythm with the familiar intro, but with “Final! Final! instead. Along with We’re ●Hagure no Color had snazzy band introductions molded in between it. ●wowaka had actually cried during Little Cry Baby..... It really is a song that’s so important to him.... I’m anxious to see the video... ●MC: One was wowaka talking about how thankful he is for everyone and everything about this IKI tour. wowaka “I don’t want it to to enddd!” SND “We’re been on this tour for 4 months, it’s been a long time though, it’s amazing, it’s a new record for us.” wowaka “Now what am I going to do with myself tomorrow.“ SND “Go back to our dark dark life...” wo “Why”

SND “You guys had been waiting outside all this time, how was it, was it cold, are you okay? Further crowd: “We were okay-! Closer crowed “(less voices) We were okay.” SND “So you guys were okay and you were cold, okay (laughing). Well if you were cold, then see this sweatshirt Leader is wearing.. please wear one too That thing is perf.  Crowd: “Woooah!!” SND: “Why the fuck ‘Woah.’ Even if you said you’re okay then still go buy one alright. Thanks..”

*OFF THE RECORD

by Jo ( @tabithacarlisle ;)

Tabitha stood up to take Liam’s arm, and the group of four left the dining room to follow the security team heading to the palace carriage house & garage. While walking through the west hallway, they passed by Madeleine’s Press Office. Madeleine had been waiting by the door to greet them and holding a clipboard and pen walked with them as they made their way down.

“Your Majesties; Liam… Tabitha….”

“Good afternoon, ...Madeleine.“

Madeleine gave Tabitha the side eye and proceeded to talk, only to Liam.

“Liam, Ana De Luca and the rest of the Cordonian Royal Press Corps have been hounding our offices chomping at the bit, wanting official word from The Palace to confirm Tabitha’s pregnancy. I’m advising a full photo shoot cover & exclusive feature story spread in Trend to announce the news. We could even highlight the results of the Queen’s sonogram appointment today. The people of Cordonia are already gossiping and eager to know whether the heir to the throne will be a new Prince or Princess.”

“Madeleine, I don’t think my wife and I are quite ready to go to the press with this news yet. I would hope that Ms. De Luca and the rest of the CRPC would respect our privacy in this delicate time. They shall hear from us soon enough.”

“Liam, if you wait too long to go public you’ll miss your opportunity to control the narrative! The tabloids will have a field day speculating why the happy news hasn’t been officially rolled out yet by the Palace. The Queen is starting to show. You really can’t wait any longer!”

“I am well aware of the public’s unquenchable thirst for information about our private lives but we need to make this decision based on what is best for OUR FAMILY!!” Liam stopped walking to stomp his foot and look directly at Madeleine when he answered her, his reply echoing throughout the large gilded hallway. Tabitha, Drake, and Maxwell were all stupefied at the degree of Liam’s intensity.

Tabitha placed a cautious hand on Liam’s shoulder, feeling his muscles tense under her fingers.

“Darling… I think Madeleine gets the idea now. Madeleine, we’ll get back to you soon.”

His face softened and relaxed with a tinge of embarrassment as he put his hand back over Tabitha’s. “You’re right. Madeleine, I do apologize for my abruptness.”

Madeleine stoically looked down to dust non existent dust particles off of her green silk crepe dress “Think nothing of it… your majesty…” and her stiletto heels went clopping back down the hallway in the opposite direction towards her office.

Tabitha and Maxwell exchanged a look, while Drake dragged one palm over his forehead and scratched the back of his neck with the other, sighing, “Well, that was fun.”

“It’s the jet-lag, getting to me.” Liam replied curtly as he squinted and pinched the bridge of his nose. He again offered Tabitha his arm, a gentle but slightly unconvincing relaxed smile returned to his face as he gazed at her. “Come now, it is a happy day. Let’s continue.”

The drive over to the Adair OBGYN and Maternity Wing of the Royal Cordonian Hospital was quiet but tense. Bastien drove the black Landrover with Mara in the front passenger seat, the only sounds came from the road and from the radio dispatch security team updates they were monitoring. Liam sat with Tabitha’s head on his shoulder in the middle seats. She was trying to finish drinking her required 20 oz of water needed for the scan. Drake and Maxwell sat in the back. Maxwell’s phone and iwatch both vibrated on silent mode with a new text notification. It was from Drake.

Drake: You hanging in there?

Maxwell: 🤢💀

Drake: … Stay strong. For Carlisle.

Maxwell looked at Drake with a nervous expression. They both nodded solemnly at eachother, and Maxwell exhaled, turning back to look out of the window while trying to quiet the inner demons wrestling in his head. He felt something cool and metallic at his arm and looked down to see Drake’s hip flask resting against it. Maxwell was not a whiskey drinker, but desperate times called for desperate measures. He gratefully accepted and threw back three or four large swigs of warm Scotch. The burning sensation he felt as it went down his throat made Max wince, but physical pain was a welcome distraction from his negative thoughts. He shuddered passed the flask back to Drake, mouthing a silent “thanks” to him, while Drake replied with a discrete two fingered salute before taking a sip of his own.

The importance of keeping this appointment was nothing to be shrugged off. Because the Royal Cordonian Hospital was a public facility, security and scheduling had to be planned well in advance to make sure the Adair Wing was cleared out for the day with no other appointments to allow the King and Queen their privacy. A nurse greeted them as they got out of the car, and ushered them inside to the deserted waiting room.

“Your majesties, King Liam, Queen Tabitha. It’s so good to see you both again. And who are these gentlemen with you?”

Liam made the introductions, “Ms. Greaves, I’d like to introduce our good friends, Sir Drake Walker, and Lord Maxwell Beaumont.

“Your Grace, your grace—“

“Just Drake is fine”

Nurse Greaves shook both of their hands and then turned to Tabitha “Right then as Queen Tabitha’s nurse and ultrasound technician today, I’ll take her Majesty into the room first for blood pressure and weight checks, and once we have the ultrasound table set up we’ll call your husband back in, anyone else?”

“Yes, Max and Drake are here to see the baby too. They’re both my best friends and will be uncles to this little one” She felt compelled to cradle her stomach, something she had rarely done up until today.

“Excellent. If you would please wait here, we’ll call you all back when she’s ready then.”

Liam let go of Tabitha’s hand, kissing her cheek

Drake, shaking his legs antsy with restlessness immediately got up and started walking towards the snack room “Coffee. I need coffee. Does... anyone want some coffee? I’m gonna get some. Liam? Maxwell?”

Liam nodded and Maxwell shook his head. Drake left the two men while they both stared at the floor, deep in thought. Maxwell’s eyes were bulging and his arms were cradling his abdomen, as though he were afraid letting go would cause all of his guts to spill out.

“You do realize, Maxwell, this scan— it’s only to take anatomy measurements, check for the baby’s heart, brain and other organ health & development... and we should be able to find out the gender, but there’s... there’s nothing that will show up today, without further testing, anyway... proving...—“

Their eyes met in a tense silent moment. Maxwell was bracing for Liam to set all hellfire loose upon him. He was grateful for Drake’s timely interruption as he came back to the waiting room holding two steaming cups of coffee, while Nurse Greaves poked her head smiling from behind the main door.

“She’s ready for you three now. Please, follow me.”

Maxwell stood up slowly, stifling a nervous cough, and trailed behind Liam and Drake as they made their way to the ultrasound tech room.

Tabitha was lying on the exam table with the headrest slightly propped up so she could sit to greet them. She had on a gown and a paper-like blanket covering her legs. She beamed at the three men as they walked in.

“Wow, I just got emotional. Ariana, these three men right here, they’re my three most favorite people here on earth! My husband, and our two best friends, and I’m so happy we’re all here to meet my new fourth favorite person today ::sniff:: wow, thanks for being here you guys.”

Liam’s eyes were shining with tears as he took the seat next to Tabitha and kissed her hand. “It’s surely to be a day we’ll all remember.” He smiled warmly at Drake and then at Maxwell, who both sat down on the chairs on the wall that faced the exam table.

Maxwell gave Tabitha his best grin and nod of support, as he internally rode the waves of ebbing and cresting emotions: guilt, pride, love, fear. He leaned forward in the chair and addressed the ultrasound technician. “is this the part where you put the cold goo on her? I feel like I’ve seen this from movies and tv.”

“Well, one of the perks here at the Adair Wing is we take the time to warm the ECG gel for our special VIP patients as a special treat. She winked at Tabitha as she lifted the gown and applied the gel. Nurse Greaves made a few silent clicks on the ultrasound terminal computer to bring up the screen on the monitor. “There... we... go. This wand, or transducer, is used to emit ultrasound waves to bring up the image on our computer here for you to see and I’ll just guide it along right... here...ahhh... there we are!”

Nurse Greaves turned the screen towards the group for everyone to see. “There, is your sweet little one!”

Tabitha covered her mouth as became even more emotional “Hello my baby! Oh, I feel like up until this point, it’s looked like an alien, but it actually looks like a real baby now,”

Liam’s eyes teared up again. “That’s a hand, isn’t it? Is the baby sucking its thumb?”

“Oh how precious!”

Maxwell stared in awe at the screen. The prospect of a real new human life, not just a hypothetical “baby” becoming a part of theirs suddenly became more real than ever before.

Nurse Greaves continued the exam.

“Heart rate looks strong and within the normal range. See? There’s the heart, the ribs... that’s funny, I’m getting a spinal and head measurement that more closely tracks with a fetus at 21 weeks, but” she nodded and winked, smiling towards Liam, “it’s not unheard of and probably nothing be concerned about, since your husband is a tall drink of water himself. This little one likely just takes after his or her father.”

Tabitha smiled back at Liam and laughed off her comment nervously “He is tall, any taller and I’d have to stand on tip toes in platform heels to kiss him!” Liam squeezed her hand. Drake turned and creaked an eyebrow at Maxwell who seemed to be doing math in his head.

“Now, your majesties, are you ready to find out whether this little one is going to be a Prince or a Princess?”

“Yes—”

“No!”

They all turned suddenly to Maxwell, who had been the one to contradict them.

Tabitha’s eyes went wide and searched Maxwell’s trying to figure out what he was up to.

“I... mean... it’s not my decision but, maybe, maybe it doesn’t matter whether it’s going to be a ‘he’ or a ‘she,’ or a ‘they’ even? This kid is going to be the most loved baby in all of Cordonia regardless... so...”

Tabitha stepped in “That’s very sweet. I agree wholeheartedly with you Max, but I think that Liam and I might go crazy with curiosity wondering if we don’t take the opportunity to find out the baby’s sex now.”

“As you wish, my love. Though Maxwell, i concur with your sentiments also.” He turned back to Ms Greaves. We’ve been waiting a long time for this now though so let’s find out today while we’re here.”

“Certainly, your majesties. Let’s just hope the little one cooperates with us and isn’t going to be too shy on the screen here...”

She adjusted the probe lower on Tabitha’s abdomen and typed some cues onto the keyboard to bring up a new camera angle on the screen.

“Well would you look at that now... hold still your future highness!” She giggled “Goodness me! Seems this baby would rather have a dance party than hold still for us!”

dance party?!

Maxwell barfed. He leaned over his chair and vomited loudly into what blessedly happened to be a bio-hazard bin beside his chair in the exam room. He could taste whiskey, bile, and the lobster bisque soup & salad that had been served for lunch as it came up a second time. Maxwell held onto the red bin and continued to wretch loudly, doing so even after the contents of his stomach seemed to have been completely vacated. Drake and Liam exchanged horrified looks. Tabitha gasped and sat up, not noticing the paper drape over her legs falling down to the floor. Liam stammered and retrieved the drape to put it back over her. He hoped he had been the only one to hear Drake muttering under his breath “:::nothing the three of us haven’t already seen before:::”

“Omigod Max? are you all right?!” Tabitha wanted to get up to comfort him but Liam held her back, gripping tightly onto her hand and unable to hide his scowl of upset.

“Good gracious. Lord Maxwell? Can you tell me what symptoms you’re experiencing right now?” She put a gloved hand over his forehead as he slowly got up.

“I’m sorry... I guess... I shouldn’t have anything to drink in the back seat on the ride over”

Drake clapped his back. “C’mon man, lets go get you cleaned up.”

They could hear Nurse Greaves asking Liam to help Tabitha dress to get ready to finish the ultrasound in another tech room down the hall as she dialed the maintenance crew to tell them to come and clean up the mess.

Maxwell held his stomach as Drake ushered him towards the men’s room.

Max bent down in the sink and splashed water on his face and in his mouth.

“That wasn’t just the whiskey, was it?” Drake prodded

Maxwell turned ‘round and held a finger over his lips, his eyes widening at Drake. He looked up at the ceiling of the restroom and pointed to what appeared to be a small dark glass domed covered security camera lens on the ceiling.”

“She said ‘dance party’! 21 weeks? Shitshit-shit, Drake! What am I going to do?!

“Not a damn thing. That stuff she mentioned means nothing right now. No one knows anything for sure. So you, are going to have to man-up, and find a way to calm yourself the-fuck-down before we go back in there again.”

“I can’t go back in there, Drake! Did you see the way Liam looked at me when she said that. He probably wants to kill me and right now I can’t blame him. I shouldn’t have come here in the first place this was a huge mistake!”

“Carlisle needed you here and Liam agreed. The only mistake made, today anyway, was you not being able to keep it the fuck together in there. If this... if this is... yours... we’ll all have to deal with it later. Now let’s go back.”

“Ok...” He steadied himself on the wall with a deep breath, before he washed his hands one more time, and pushed out the door open with Drake behind him.

Tabitha was dressed and standing next to Liam, holding a picture from the sonogram that had been printed out. They were both in discussions with Nurse Greaves and a Doctor standing next to them.

Liam posed the question “so, how often does it happen that the baby is moving around so much that it’s difficult to get a decent glimpse of the child’s gender.”

The doctor spoke “more often than you would think! We have her Majesty scheduled for a 30 week ultrasound, 10 weeks from now. The baby will be bigger and will have less room to move around in, so finding out the sex should be much easier at that point if you decide to find out before the birth.”

Tabitha turned to Maxwell and took his wrist “Maxwell, you’re ok now? I was so worried—“

“Yeah I think so, sorry about that.”

Liam clapped him on the shoulder. “It’s no bother. Tabitha and I took it as a sign that we should end the exam without finding out our baby’s sex. We liked how your arguments put forth a more modern way of thinking about the importance, or lack thereof, of gender in society, and we feel that it will be a good step in modernizing the way the Cordonian Monarchy works in the 21st century.”

“Oh, heh, great! Then when he or she or they are born, it will be a proper surprise birthday party”

“Exactly. I think we’re done here, but oh! I didn’t get to introduce you two to my doctor! Drake, Maxwell, this is my OBGYN who’ll be delivering the baby, Doctor Valerie Thorn.”

“Pleasure to meet you, your Graces,” she shook their hand but stopped as she locked eyes with Drake & seemed to jog her memory. Drake looked back at her, confused. “Wait, you’re Sir Drake Walker? Oh, you must know my cousin, Kiara? She had nothing but good things to say about you when she told me all about her adventures during the last Social Season.” She gave him a subtle wink. “You know, I think she’s still single? Are you single too?”

Drake swallowed hard and looked as if he wished disappear or be anywhere but in that doctors’ office. His eyes darted from Liam’s to Tabitha’s and he stammered, trying to come up with a response.

Maxwell suddenly felt a second wind and smirked, happy that he wasn’t the only one now who’d been in the hot seat. “Yeah... I don’t think Drake’s on the market right now, are ya, buddy?”

“I’m not your ‘buddy’...” he huffed under his breath as his cheeks turned a brighter shade of scarlet.

Liam cleared his throat loudly. “Right then, Thank you so very much, Dr. Thorn, Ms. Greaves, for everything. We’d best be off now.” He took Tabitha’s hand and they met back up with Bastien & Mara in the waiting room to return to the Palace.

They were less than a kilometer from home when Liam turned around to the back seat and addressed them all, “I have a surprise for all of you when we get back.”

Drake grumbled “I don’t like surprises.”

Tabitha replies, “A surprise for all of us? What do you mean? I can’t begin to guess what it is”

The pit in Maxwell’s stomach lurched and he covered the nervous cough that came up. “All of us?”

“Yes Maxwell, you too...”

The Land Rover pulled up to the front of the palace where they saw Gladys ready to greet them with a man and woman standing next to them, holding a small child.

Tabitha squealed in delight “It’s Bertrand and Savannah and Bartie! Liam, was this the surprise?”

*Phew.* Maxwell couldn’t remember the last time he’d been so happy to see his brother and sister-in-law. Possibly after they had all defeated Anton and returned to Liam and Tabitha’s wedding. If this is all the ‘surprise’ is, then it can’t be too bad...

Liam helped Tabitha down out of the car and she rushed to embrace them “Savannah! It’s been so long! Look how big Bartie is now! Oh it’s so good to see you all! And Bertrand, we’ve missed you”

Maxwell lifted up his nephew high in the air and Bartie shrieked in a fit of giggles

Savannah spoke first after she finished hugging Drake “Liam told us you could use some new mom advice to help get ready for the baby!”

Bertrand scoffed “I don’t really understand why. Bartie’s a toddler now, he’d hardly be considered a baby any more—“

Savannah playfully slapped him “It doesn’t seem that long ago to me. Oh I have tales Tabitha, but let me know if I should spare you all the gruesome details of Bartie’s birth stories.”

Tabitha took Savannah’s arm affectionately “No you are an invaluable resource and you must tell me all, the good the bad and the ugly. I want to be prepared! All of the things you wish you had known when you were pregnant with Bartie...”

Tabitha and Savannah continued to gossip as they walked inside. The men walked behind them, except for Drake who was in the middle of giving his nephew a piggyback ride.

Bertrand walked back with Maxwell “How is Tabitha doing now? She seems better than you described before you left Ramsford. You know, Savannah and I have already been plotting to figure out how we can betroth our Bartie to the new heir to the throne.” He winked conspiratorially at Maxwell, who stopped dead in his tracks.

“You want to what? Uhhh I don’t think that’s the best idea I—“

“What do you mean Maxwell? As Bartie’s father and head of House Beaumont I have the responsibility of securing the most advantageous—“

“Just—-trust me...hold that thought—“ Yearning for a distraction he found one in noticing a second Land Rover that had just pulled up to the front entrance of the palace which the servants were busy packing with camping gear.

“Hey Liam? Who’s going camping?”

“The gear is for you and me, Maxwell. The two of us are going camping tonight!”

Nightingale's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week: Day 5

Kaja was worried...Chip hadn't come back to the barracks after visiting Tongo, and the morning inspection was about to occur. If Chip wasn't in his bunk, then the guards would get suspicious and start asking questions and digging around. She and one of her resistance contacts had smuggled a few weapons out of the storage facilities and stored them in a hollowed out section near Chip's bunk...If the guards searched there, they were doomed.

She kept staring at the window in the hopes that the white haired boy would just appear out of thin air with that dopey grin and a sheepish apology for scaring her...but he never showed up. There was shouting from outside and everyone took their positions, ready for the morning drill. It was the roegadyn, Falling Timbers, again...the large Hellsguard soldier walked in with a toothy grin and a pep in his step...that couldn't be good.

"Alright, you savages!" He called in his usual greeting. "Time for your inspection! We're going to be extra thorough today, so if anyone wants to step forward and speak up, please...do so!" He began slowly marching forward, looking at each individual prisoner. Kaja exchanged a wary glance with the people she and Chip had recruited. Each one stared back, trying not to sweat. No one spoke.

"Well, seems everyone is awful somber and stoic this morning...Guess we'll just have to have a look-see..." Timbers snapped his fingers and his men surged forward, tossing matresses and ripping apart the barracks. To their credit, everyone acted the usual level of scared and nervous as they always did. Trained resistance operatives as some of them were, they knew better than to under or over act.

The Roegadyn seemed to be making a straight shot toward Kaja and Chip's bunk bed, grinning all the while. Kaja understood suddenly, with horror...They had captured him...it was over...

Falling Timbers marched up to Kaja and tilted his head. "Bunkmate leave early for his shift, rabbit?" He asked, although his tone made it obvious he was being rhetorical. "Guess you won't mind if we peep around then, eh?" He motioned for her to step aside. She balled her fists and furrowed her brow. She wasn't going to give up without a fight...

"Get your mitts off my stuff, you Garlean dog!" An angry voice shouted from down the line. Kaja looked in surprise...one of their men. A highlander swung his meaty fist directly into the jaw of the guard searching his gear before making eye contact with Kaja. There was a very subtle nod from him before the others converged on him and took him to the ground.

The Roegadyn guard grinned and diverted, smelling new blood in the water. He walked up as his guards beat and shocked the Highlander with their batons. Timbers waited for a moment before waving them off.

"Ahhh, finally...a troublemaker. Django, you've already had your first strike isn't that right? Guess it'll be to the cages with you..." he chuckled, motioning for the guards to haul the beaten Highlander up. "Let them be an example to you all..." Timbers murmured with gleeful menace, before exiting with his prey in tow.

Kaja exhaled a shakey breath...them...He said 'them'. Chip wasn't dead yet, they had a chance still. The warden would make it a public affair if he had found out who Chip was, and the fact that the boy wasn't back HERE meant he was being held despite having no strikes...She would retrace his steps and figure out what she could. They were doing this...

Kaja left to do her shift, focusing less on her work than she usually did as she wiled the hours away until lunch. She needed to speak with Tongo. If Chip had made it, she would be able to get through to the bangaa. She was getting ready to pack up before a frazzled looking hyur grabbed her sleeve and got her attention.

He had ratty black hair and patchy facial hair, but she recognized him sort of...He had been caught sneaking out once to see his wife in the barracks, and had been given a strike. He looked...guilty. That worried Kaja...

"Kaja..." he murmured. "Are you Kaja?" He asked quickly, eyes flitting about like a mouse expecting a hawk.

"I am..." she replied cautiously.

"Your friend, Chip, sent me with a message...he said that if he did not kake it back to you, then they had taken him. He asked you to make sure everything was ready and wait for his signal..." the hyur stammered. Kaja exhaled slowly, closing her eyes. Had he planned on being caught?

"How did he get taken?" She asked sharply, sending an accusing glance at the man as she opened her amber eyes. He gulped and took a step back.

"I-I got caught out after curfew...he...he saved me from the guards, by pretending to be me...and I saw the Roegadyn dragging him away shortly after he ran..." the man explained. Great...just great...no wonder Timbers was so smug this morning. Curse that boy and his heroism...still, she found it endearing if not reckless...She dismissed the man and left to find Tongo at lunch time.

The large bangaa was only allowed one meal a week, so she knew to find him at his personal cell. She ran quietly around to the back and grabbed the bars. Immediately a giant hand covered hers and pinned her in place.

"Who are you..." the beast of a bangaa asked in a slow growl.

"A friend of Chip's...He has been captured. I needed to know of he spoke with you!" Kaja hissed in a panicked rush. She didn't want to lose her hands...

To her genuine surprise, Tongo looked shocked and...worried. "Chip...taken?" He asked quietly. Kaja nodded and he released her, moving to his door. He banged on it, sending the metal door flying open and began to march out. "Rescue..." Tongo growled as he stalked forward. Kaja quickly cut him off, placing her hands on the bangaa's abdomen and bracing. It did no good as she simply slid backwards as Tongo effortlessly moved forward, like she wasn't even there.

"No, Tongo!" Kaja insisted. "He said to wait for the signal! But I need your help to be ready for that!" She tried her best to stop him, and finally he slowed to a halt...she doubted it was because of her brawn though. The bangaa looked down at her and huffed.

"What do you need me for..." his voice rolled out in resignation, like slightly depressed thunder.

"The other bangaa...you and I need to recruit them for the fight..." Kaja explained, running Tongo through their plans. The gentle giant nodded in understanding.

"Come...We speak with them both now..." Then he lumbered off towards where the bangaa would be after lunch. Maccar and Ba'karn were sitting on opposite ends of a large sandy square, staring each other down. Their seperate groups, equal in size, were likewise doing the same. It was an ever going cold war, as neither Bangaa wished to make an overt move on the other yet...

Ba'karn wanted to unite his kin and prepare for the inevitable war and glorious deaths that came with fighting Garlemald...Maccar wanted to rule the whole camp with an iron fist...Neither of them expected a lithe viera to stroll into the center of their arena.

Maccar and Ba'karn stood, staring at the wokan before she spoke. "Bangaa leaders, might i bend your ears for a spell?" She beckoned them forward with a finger. They, in confusion, obliged and approached her. "It is time for us all to leave this prison...A young man has come with hopes of saving us all...I think perhaps he can...but to do so, we will need your help. I have come to convince you by any means necessary." Kaja smiled.

Maccar balked. "You come into our home alone and demand we follow a HYUR into battle? Are you a mad woman?" He snarled.

"For once I agree with my rival..." Ba'karn said, his voice level and measured. He was ever the commander. Rumor was he served in the Dalmascan military as a fusilier before the fall. "I am willing to fight for my freedom, but not with an untested stranger." He mused. "I must test his might and convictions. Either he must show me his own power, or he must show me the power he weilds over others." The elder bangaa crossed his arms.

Kaja nodded and smiled, taking a step back. "That is what I shall do then. In his stead, you will face his champion." She bowed low.

Maccar and Ba'karn shared a look before bellowing out in laughter. "You!?" They said together. What could a single Viera do against the two second most powerful bangaa here!?

Their laughs fell short as a thunderous impact sounded behind them and something covered them in shadow. The two leaders slowly turned as a goliath of darkness rose behind them, a flare of pure destruction in its eyes.

"No..." it let out a rumbling growl. "Meeee...." Tongo tensed his muscles, causing them to bulge dangerously and forced the two bangaa to stagger backwards in fear.

"I serve the Nightingale...I serve the desert guardian...hear his name and tremble, for my leader is none other than...Chip..." Tongo's bassy growl shook the crowd to the core. Kaja was fairly certain that was the only time Chip's name ever inspired such awe and fear...she understood why he went by Arthur here.

Maccar and Ba'karn wisely conceded any duels and decided it would be in their best interest to ally wkth each other and with this evidently mighty Nightingale. With that settled Tongo went back to his cell to await further instructions, as did the bangaa warriors to their own barracks. Kaja went back to finish her shift and returned home for the night...she couldn't sleep though...

She was terrified for Chip...she hoped he could get out of this in the long run...Things were rapidly falling into place here. Django would have to hold out in the cages until Chip began the battle...Chip Wayman, Arthur D'ehcan, or the Nightingale...now more than ever she hoped he was the hero he claimed to be...

Completely Unrelated Ch.2

A/N: AhHH so if you asked to be tagged privately via my inbox and I replied to you privately, then I lost your name and can’t find it I’m soRRy.  I’m thinking about maybe doing ships but who fuckin knows I didn’t outline this. What do you guys want?

Also, Chapter 2? More like exposition dump.

First: Chapter 1 | Next: Chapter 3 | Previous: Chapter 1

Warnings: None Pairings: None (yet?) technically

Patton was the first one to finish freaking out about the situation, and apparently it was only because Logan had turned his head to slam it into the lockers again. He felt Patton grab his wrist and yank him out of the way, before casually shifting to lean against the lockers. His message was clear, Logan would not be doing any more bashing his brains out via locker. Drat. Roman was running his hands through his hair, eyes blown wide, as his tiny brain tried to process what he just saw. Virgil was rubbing his arms and looking from the door, to Patton, to Logan, to the lockers- over and over.

“Alright kiddos let’s just...calm down for a second,” Patton said. His voice was soft, trustworthy. That was Patton for you. It helped Logan calm down a little, as he realized how illogical he was being. Logan nodded to himself, then walked over to stand beside Patton.

“Patton is correct. We can not change the situation, best we just go in and face figuratively face our fates,” he said. Patton beamed, slinging an arm over Logan’s shoulders and nearly knocking him over.

“See? Lolo’s got the right id-” Patton was cut off as Roman snorted.

“Lolo?” he teased, looking more relaxed. Logan scowled.

“New nickname, isn’t it great?” Patton asked.

“I hate it.” Logan deadpanned. That sent Virgil into a fit of giggles, getting the most anxious member of their group to finally break out of the cycle of terror he was about to spin himself into. Logan heard Patton let out a quiet, almost silent sigh of relief. Odd. He didn’t have time to dwell on that, though, as Patton opened the door and made an over dramatic bowing motion. Roman, always one for theatrics, laughed and strode forward.

“Thank you, kind citizen,” Roman said, using his ‘prince’ voice. Patton giggled, and Virgil rolled his eyes before trotting into the room after Roman. Patton looked over at Logan.

“You ready?” Logan sighed.

“As I’ll ever be…”

Normally, if they were on time, people didn’t really spare them a second glance. However, today they looked at the group, then at the new teacher, then at the group again. The teacher, Mr.Sanders, apparently, didn’t even glance up from his phone. Logan noticed Virgil shrinking back at the attention, and Logan carefully shuffled to stand in front of Virgil, blocking him from view.

“Thanks…,” Virgil whispered

“Don’t mention it,” Logan whispered back, motioning to a quiet place in the back of the room to sit. Normally, Logan liked to sit in the front. As did Roman, who liked being the center of attention. However, in history it was an unspoken agreement to sit with Virgil in the back. Sometimes, one or two of them would sit a row ahead so they could block Virgil from any prying eyes. Today, though, they all sat in a row. Roman, Virgil, Patton, Logan, a Sanders line. Logan’s brain smacked him, that wasn’t even a pun. He needed to stop spending so much time with Patton. Roman and Patton were whispering to each other as Virgil pulled his headphones off and subtly put an earbud in one ear instead. Logan pulled out his textbook and started to review what they had learned last week, when a voice interrupted the peace.

“Hello class, I’m Mr.Sanders!” the man said, gesturing to his name on the board. A few eyes glanced back at them, and a few giggles burst out. Logan glanced over at Virgil, who flipped his hood up. The giggles died as Roman gave what was, apparently, a very threatening glare. Mr.Sanders frowned.

“I dunno what’s so funny, but anyway! I don’t know anyone’s names yet, so when I call your name just raise your hand or say here, alrighty?” Mr.Sanders said, fumbling on his desk for a piece of paper.

Logan looked over and made eye contact with Roman, who proceeded to have an eye-conversation with him. Something about Mr.Sanders getting to their names, probably. Logan couldn’t actually read peoples’ eyes, so every time one of the others tried to communicate via eyeball Logan was totally lost and just widened his eyes and raised his eyebrows in a pattern that usually fooled the other person into believing he knew that they were saying. Except once, where he must’ve said something inappropriate because Patton had shrieked and thrown an apple at his face.

“Oh! Isn’t this fun?” Mr.Sanders exclaimed. ‘Here it comes’, Logan steeled himself.

“Logan Sanders. We have the same last name,” Mr.Sanders laughed. Logan rolled his eyes and raised his hand. Mr.Sanders eyes lit up.

“Perfect! Next we have…,” there was the confusion, “...another Sanders! Patton,” Patton waved enthusiastically.

“Awesome! Next is...Roman Sanders?” Mr.Sanders was frowning now.

“The one and only!” Roman announced, standing up and posing dramatically. Patton clapped enthusiastically. Mr.Sanders gave a slight smile at that.

“Alright, then. Virgil...Sanders,” Mr.Sander’s voice dropped off as if someone had just shoved him off the cliff of realization. Okay, bad metaphor, Logan really did need to spend less time around Patton.

“Well! Sanders is a common last name,” Mr.Sanders grinned. Logan blinked in surprise and looked over at Roman. This once he could understand what Roman was trying to say through his eyes perfectly. ‘He’s not going to ask if we’re related?’

The class continued on without a hitch after that, no comments on them looking like their teacher, no comments on the names. Just a casual history lesson. The bell rang for their next class, and Logan shuffled after his friends and shot Mr.Sanders a suspicious look as he did so. His new teacher only smiled back.

~~~~

Logan didn’t have anything after school that day, however, Patton had a student council meeting, and Logan was Patton’s only ride home. Since the meeting would be about an hour, Logan could technically go home and come pick up his friend later, but considering how much time and gas that would waste, Logan instead opted to stay. He had chatted with Virgil for about 20 minutes before his friend had to leave, something about helping his dad clean the house for a date. After that, Logan sat in the auditorium for approximately 10 minutes, watching Roman and his theatre friends practicing for some musical or other they were going to perform. Logan got bored quickly, however. Not that he’d ever tell Roman that, but he wasn’t exactly fond of acting or stage-performances.

Which was how Logan now found himself wandering around the halls, glancing into windows on the doors occasionally. Suddenly, a voice called out, “LOGAN!”

Logan turned to the right, only to see Mr.Sanders waving at him from inside his classroom. Logan gave a surprised frown. Lucky guess, he supposed.

“Yes, Mr.Sanders?” he asked, stepping into the classroom. Mr.Sanders held up a history textbook.

“You forgot this! I’m surprised you’re still here, honestly. School got out half an hour ago.”

“37 minutes ago, actually,” Logan corrected, taking the book and deciding to sit in a chair facing Mr.Sanders desk. Mr.Sanders laughed.

“But, yes. I’m staying late due to Patton, who has a student council meeting. We’re neighbors, so I drive him to and from school.”

“Well that’s awfully nice of you, Logan” Mr.Sanders smiled, leaning down to pull at his desk drawer, “do you play chess, by chance?” Logan’s lips curled up the slightest bit at that.

“I do,” he said as Mr.Sanders gently placed a board in front of them and unfolded it.

“Great! Here, want to play?” he asked, setting up the pieces. Logan nodded and helped his teacher set up the board. They began the game in silence at first, but slowly they began to make small conversation.

“So, Logan,” he took one of Logan’s pawns, “I think it’s interesting you and the other Sanders’ in this school are friends. I often find when kids share names, they either hate, or love each other.” Logan snorted, moving a knight.

“Well, I suppose we’re in the ‘love’ category. Though, sometimes I want to strangle them,” Logan took one of Mr.Sander’s bishops. Mr.Sanders laughed.

“Along with that, it does get irritating when people assume we’re related. In fact, I’m surprised you didn’t ask us,” Logan sat back as Mr.Sanders stared at the board, eyebrows furrowed.

“Really? You don’t even look that similar,” another one of Logan’s pawns gone, “actually, I got asked if I had any kids that went to this school today. I would’ve brushed it off, if I wasn’t asked multiple times by both students and faculty.”

“Ah, they assume we’re related then? Well, unless you gave away any children about 16 years ago, I don’t think you are,” Logan took a pawn this time.

“Oh? Not to pry but...are you adopted then?” Mr.Sanders asked, gently, as if he was worried he was going to offend Logan somehow. Logan just shrugged and nodded.

“Me and Roman are both adopted. Not by the same people, of course, but I figured before the DNA test that if any of us were related, it’d be him and me,” Mr.Sanders lost a knight.

“You all actually took DNA tests?” Mr.Sanders laughed. Logan looked at him and smirked.

“I have the papers, if you want them,” Mr.Sanders probably would’ve done a spit-take if he had been drinking something.

“Noooo thanks, I’m good,” he grinned. Logan chuckled.

“So, yes, it’s just been me and my father. I’m glad he’s not married, nor will he ever be, because we have enough Sanders running around as is,” Logan said, moving forward one of his knights. He saw a question forming on Mr.Sander’s tongue and quickly answered it before it was asked.

“No tragic backstory, he’s just aroace,” he stated. Mr.Sander’s question turned to a, “Ah, I see.”

Logan managed to take Mr.Sander’s queen. Mr.Sanders frowned and moved forward a pawn.

“So, how often are you four mixed up? I just want to know how much I’ll be questioned about being your father.” Logan sighed.

“About once a day, if not more. You’d think people in the school would get used to it by now, but apparently not. It doesn’t help that we’re always hanging around each other, I suppose. Check, by the way,” Logan said, pulling his hand away from the board.

“Does anyone ever find that weird?” Mr.Sanders joked. Logan snorted.

“Occasionally, as they think we’re all brothers and think we should have other friends. I sometimes imagine how weirded out they’d be if they knew I had feelings for-” Logan froze, hand reaching out towards the pieces again.

“Feelings for...who now?” Mr.Sanders grinned. Logan felt his face heat up as he moved a piece.

“Checkmate. I think I should go, Patton’s meeting will be over by now,” he said, standing and hurrying away.

“Oh, alright, but Logan,” Mr.Sanders said. Logan turned to see the man’s soft smile.

“I won’t pry, it’s your life. I just think you shouldn’t let the fact you look a little bit like your friends change how you interact with them. Too much, at least,” he started to sweep the chess pieces off the desk. Logan sighed and let a small smile curl onto his lips again.

“Thank you, Mr.Sanders,” Logan said. Mr.Sander’s smiled back,

“We’re not in class, buddy, you can just call me Thomas.”

“Thank you, Thomas.”

Believe Pretty Cure Episode 5

*Sighs* FINALLY!! This chapter took a while, and I was stuck on this to the point I had to write new stories to keep me motivated. Still enjoy!

Cure Fiore stood there in shock and surprise. Allison Pendle, an idol she’s looked up too for a while now. Was actually the Pretty Cure, Cure Aurora! “This whole time. Allison Pendle. Cure Aurora.” Cure Fiore shivered.

Allison smiled. “So, ready for your test of trust? Susie Campbell?” Allison asked.

Cure Fiore was in shock making her revert back into Susie. “Y-Yes.” She stuttered. “What’s the test?”

“This may sound weird and stupid, but would you like to come with me to the studio tomorrow?” Allison asked.

“T-The studio?” Susie stuttered.

Allison nodded. “I’m serious. I’m doing some photo shoots and told my manager that you’ll be joining us.” She explained.

“A-Are you sure its okay?” Susie asked. Allison nodded again. “Well okay.”

Allison smiled. “Cool! I’ll pick you up in the morning.” Allison ran off leaving Susie behind. Bendy and Boris appeared and looked up at the young girl.

“Susie?” Boris asked.

“Are you okay?” Bendy finished.

Susie stood their shaking, “Allison wants to hang out with me?”

(OP: Be Yourself! Believe Pretty Cure!)

Susie walked home slowly the thought of Allison wanting to spend time with her went around her mind. Once she got home she went to her room.

“Susie!” Her mother exclaimed. “Your in home just in time for dinner.” Susie didn’t reply making her mom worry. “Susie?”

“What’s wrong?” Susie’s father asked. Susie’s mom shrugged not wondering what’s wrong with their daughter.

“YAHOO!” Susie cheered loudly. Her mom and dad looked at each other wondering what’s making their daughter so happy.

With Love and Hope! Together we’re Believe Pretty Cure!

Susie was in the kitchen having breakfast, she’s been excited since last night and slept later then usual. Still, she was excited for her day with Allison.

DING DONG

Susie ran to the door and opened it to see Allison. “Allison!” Susie yelled smiling. “You’re here early!”

“So ready to go?” Allison asked. Susie nodded. The two went in Allison’s limo headed for the studio. Susie could hardly sit still smiling and bouncing around. Once they got to the studio Susie got out of the limo and followed Allison inside.

“Here we are.” Allison said. Susie was amazed at how big the studio was. “Wow! It looks amazing!”

“Allison.” A woman came by walking towards the girls. “I’m so glad you’re here.”

“Hi manager,” Allison stepped aside to introduce Susie. “This is Susie, she’s the guest I brought over for today.”

Susie was shaking a bit. “N-Nice to meet you.”

Allison’s manager smiled at the young girl. “Why hello. I hope you enjoy your time today.”

Susie smiled. “Thank you.” She replied.

Susie got to watch Allison try on so many dresses and clothes posing differently in each one. The girl was surprised at the idol modeling. “I didn’t know you model.” Susie exclaimed.

“Its one of the things I do.” Allison added. After taking photos the girls looked at each one to see which one Allison should use for her magazine. Susie was amazed with all the work Allison was doing for today, and just for one idol.

“Alright! Lunch break!” A man called out.

Susie sighed finally she’ll be able to eat and enjoy her meal. Before she could eat, Susie felt her bag shake and when she opened it Bendy and Boris came out. “Finally I can breathe!” Bendy yelled.

“Bendy! Boris! What are you two doing here?” Susie asked!

“We decided to follow you.” Bendy replied.

“Follow me? But where’s my lunch!”

“So you must be Bendy and Boris.” Susie got scared at first, turning around she sighed in relief seeing it was only Allison.

“Oh Allison its you.” Susie replied.

“Its okay. I’ve meet them already.”

Bendy smiled. “We met while you were fighting the Ushikuma from a while back.” Bendy explained. Allison nodded to confirm Bendy’s story.

Susie’s stomach started to rumble realizing that she hasn’t ate. “But my lunch is gone out the window.”

“I have a lot for lunch, want to have some?” Allison asked.

Susie, Bendy and Boris’s eyes sparkled in joy hearing Allison will share her meal. “Really?” Allison nodded.

Allison’s manger smiled seeing how Susie and Allison were getting along. “Allison, I’m glad your making friends already.”

Susie smiled. “Yeah, we are. Right, Allison?” Susie replied.

Allison’s expression changed. “Excuse me, but Susie and I have to talk somewhere privately.” Allison grabbed Susie’s hand and led her to another room where they can talk.

They didn’t see it, but Allison’s manager looked sad.

“So why are we here?” Susie asked looking at the abandoned room.

“I don’t really consider you a friend, Susie.” Allison admitted. Susie felt hurt hearing Allison’s words. This whole time spending with her idol and she goes and says that.

“B-But we were having so much fun! Isn’t that what friends do?” Susie asked.

Allison nodded. “True, but were a team and that’s how I see us.” She explained. Susie felt sad hearing Allison’s words. Allison sighed, “I actually brought you here because I figured I should tell you.”

“Tell us what?” Bendy asked.

Allison sighed. “It happened about a year ago.” Allison started, “I was performing on stage for a show, after the show I decided to take a small walk to relax. When I did, I saw something fall from the sky.

At that point Allison remembered that day. Allison was walking in the park and saw something twinkle in the sky and fall right in front of her. Once the smoke cleared she saw a Pala Phone along with a blue dream badge. Allison picked it up and the Pala Phone started glowing.

“At that point I became a Pretty Cure.” Allison explained. When she remembered that day Allison’s eyes open and saw she was no longer in her regular clothes, but in her Pretty Cure outfit.

Bendy and Boris chuckled remembering the Pala Phone they threw away before was the one that went into Allison’s hand. “I think I know where it came from.” Susie commented.

Allison ignored the comment and continued with the story.  “But around that time I was friends with a young girl, Laura. We did performances together, and wanted to become an idol unit with her.” Allison stopped to look down, “But an Ushikuma had to be summoned before I can get the chance to tell Laura. After the battle Laura realized that she can’t keep up with me, and decided to leave for Europe. Before she left I gave her a letter asking her if she would like to be a Pretty Cure, but.”

Allison remembered the letter she gave to Laura and saw the later rip the letter up. Allison’s eyes widen in sadness and in shock seeing Laura rip up her letter. “After that whole ordeal. I decided to go solo as a Pretty Cure, fighting my own battles.” Allison explained. “I realized that I couldn’t even balance having a friend, being an idol, and a Pretty Cure.”

“That’s not true!” Susie yelled running up and grabbing Allison’s shoulders. Allison stared at Susie in shock, the later then gave a small smile. “So you may of lost Laura, but that doesn’t mean you give up! You will get more and more friends, and I’m happy to be your friend Allison!”

“Susie?” Allison was confused, but worried as well.

“Allison. You shouldn’t be scared or push anyone away. I would gladly be your friend.” All Alison could do was stare at Susie, not giving an answer.

(Eyecatch 1: On stage the curtains open, showing Susie and Allison in their everyday clothes. They close it, and open again wearing idol outfits. They close it once more and are in their Cure forms smiling. They close it once more as the Believe Pretty Cure logo shows up.)

(Eyecatch 2: Alice is crying and Bendy and Boris try to cheer her up by playing music, and silly faces. Susie and Allison show up using their Pala Phone. Susie uses her Pala Phone to give Alice a cake, and Allison gives Alice a dress making the baby toon smile and laugh.)

Allison’s manager was walking away tired from all the work that was given to her. “Man what a day.” She sighed. The manager wasn’t aware someone was following her, as the figure stared on in the shadows. She then heard a noise, making her turn around. “Who’s there?!” She asked seeing no one around. The manager thought nothing of it and kept on walking, she then stopped seeing a figure ahead of her.

“Hello! Who are you?” She asked. The figured stood there not doing anything. “I’ll call security!” The figure then smiled evilly making Allison’s manager scared.

“Ahhh!”

Allison, Susie, Bendy and Boris stood still hearing the scream. “Manager!” Allison yelled.

“Susie do you think?” Boris asked.

Susie glared. “No doubt about it!” She growled.

Outside the room a camera Ushikuma run amok the studio causing everyone to flee. Barley laughed seeing his Ushikuma attack and destroy everything in sight.

“Allison! Let’s go!” Susie yelled.

Allison nodded and went to grab her Pala Phone, only to realize it wasn’t in her pocket. “Oh no! My Pala Phone is in my room!” She yelled in realization.

“Eh!?” Susie, Bendy and Boris yelled.

“I have to run and get it. In the meantime use as much power as you can until I get it back!” Allison explained.

“B-But.” Susie was about to explain she can’t do this without Allison, but Allison grabbed Susie by the shoulders and looked at her eye to eye. “Listen I’ve seen you fight! You can handle this for a few minutes till I grab it. I promise we’ll fight together, okay?”

Susie smiled and nodded. “Okay.” Susie then started to transform.

On Stage! Pretty Cure! Make Up!

Believing with a loving heart, Cure Fiore!

“Be careful okay, Allison.” Cure Fiore warned. Allison nodded and ran to get her Pala Phone.

“USHI!” The monster roared as it threw a chair to the wall, making some workers doge it. Out of nowhere the monster was attacked by a kick out of nowhere.

“What the?!” Barley yelled. He turned around and saw Cure Fiore glaring at him. “Ah Cure Fiore, where’s your partner?” He asked.

Cure Fiore glared and went to attack the monster, punching and kicking it with all her power. The Ushikuma countered her attack by punching her, but the pink cure seemed unphased by it.

Allison finally went to her dressing room and found her Pala Phone on the desk. She grabbed it and quickly ran back to Cure Fiore, before anything could happen to her.

Cure Fiore was on the ground, and injured. She put up a good fight, but the Ushikuma was too wild for her to handle by herself. Cure Fiore held the foot of the Ushikuma so she wouldn’t be squished. Barley laughed about to see Cure Fiore become squished like a pancake.

“Stop it!” Allison yelled coming by holding her Pala Phone.

Barley gasped seeing the Pala Phone. “Don’t tell me, your?” He stopped as Allison was about to transform.

Allison’s Pala Phone opens up and she puts the Blue Dream Badge inside. The screen turns on showing a blue star as the buttons light up yellow, blue, and indigo.

On Stage! Pretty Cure! Make Up!

Allison presses all three buttons and a bright light flashes. Allison was now in a glowing dress that then turned into blue top with black and light blue ruffled material that a blue heart broach with a bat wing on it, then a blue skirt with a black ribbon on the back along with her blue boots. Allison’s hair glowed and turned burgundy and tied itself into a ponytail. A sparkle of light appeared and Allison’s eyes turned magenta and gained blue star earrings. Allison put her Pala Phone in a pink and white carry bag.

Allison was now on stage as a spotlight appeared in front of her in a starry background.

Believing a dreaming heart, Cure Aurora!

“Yes!” Cure Fiore cheered.

Cure Aurora kicked the Ushikuma knocking balance off it. “Are you okay?” Cure Aurora asked helping Cure Fiore up.

“Yeah! Thanks.” Cure Fiore smiled. Cure Aurora replied back with a smile. The Pretty Cure looked up seeing the monster get up. “Ready?” Cure Fiore asked holding her hand out.

Cure Aurora looked at Cure Fiore’s hand in hesitation, but she took it anyway. As they held hands the two cures looked and saw it was glowing. “What the?” Cure Aurora asked.

The light got brighter blinding Barley and the Ushikuma.

“With the power of love!” Cure Fiore yelled.

“And the power of hope!” Cure Aurora yelled.

A pink and blue heart appeared ready to shoot. “Pretty Cure! Miracle Shower!” The pink and blue heart swirled around and shot the Ushikuma.

“Believe in your heart!” The two cures said together.

“Believe.” The Ushikuma said tiredly as it disappeared and the heart was healed.

Barley growled. “Pretty Cure.” He then disappeared.

“We did it!” Cure Fiore cheered.

“We did!” Cure Aurora replied. The two girls looked at each other and hugged cheering in celebration. The heart of Allison’s manager went back to her, and she woke up with no memory of what happened.

“You two were awesome!” Bendy cheered. “I didn’t know your friendship power was that strong!”

“Friendship power?” Cure Aurora asked. Cure Fiore and Cure Aurora looked at each other and shared a smile then a laugh.

After the battle the girls were back in their regular clothes. To thank Allison for the day together, Susie decided to take Allison to the lake to star gaze.

“The stars are so pretty.” Allison said looking at the stars. “But why did you bring me here?” She asked.

Susie smiled. “I figured since we did something you like to do. I thought we do something I like to do!” Allison smiled at Susie, she then saw the later smile looking at the sky. “Look Allison! A shooting star! Quick, make a wish!” Susie yelled pointing at the star. She quickly put her hands together and started mumbling her wish. Allison looked at Susie and did the same.

Before Allison can make her wish a star twinkled and started to shoot towards them. “Um girls are stars supposed to shoot towards us?” Bendy asked. The cures opened their eyes and saw the star headed towards them. It freaked them out as they ran all over the place, except for Susie. She saw a figure inside the star. She held her arms out catching the star, only to fall back on the ground. Everyone ran to Susie hoping she was okay. “Susie! Are you okay!?” Boris asked.

“I-I am.” She replied. She looked at what she caught and freaked at the sight. Allison, Bendy and Boris looked as well also freaking out at the sight.

“A baby?!” Everyone screamed. The baby yawned opening her eyes as she let out a coo.

Part 2

Until You Fell

You skipped down the stairs, feeling fully rested for a change. You headed into the kitchen, going into the fridge to start preparing bacon and eggs for everyone.

''Someone seems chipper this morning'' You could hear Natasha state from behind you, making her way towards the breakfast table. You shrugged her off, pressing play on your ipod and popped it into the deck, playing (insert favorite song) with the volume on medium. 

''Yup'' you replied popping the 'p'. You weren't usually a morning person but for some reason today you were, something was different about today, in a good way. At times you stopped your cooking briefly to use the spatula as a microphone as you pretended to sing towards your invisible fans, mainly the food but a girl could dream. 

''Has hell freezed over?'' You could hear Thor ask. You rolled your eyes, deciding to shrug his comment off as well. You were in a good mood and you weren't going to let anyone or anything spoil it. 

''Not yet'' You replied back sassily sending a wink over your shoulder. 

''Is there enough to round?'' Now it was Wanda's turn to walk through, though she looked like she hadn't got a wink of sleep. You sighed. 

''What am I? Some kind of Chef-maid?'' You ask rhetorically. The  three of them looked between each other, Thor about to speak up before you cut him off, pointing your spatula towards him. 

''Don't answer that'' and with that the four of you began to laugh. Living with the Avengers team definitely has it perks. You found it completely awesome being surrounded by superheros. But you were more surprised at just how human they were, you could remember ever since you were little, Clint would often take you out with Wanda when your dad had a mission or urgent work that couldn't wait. Being she's the closest to your age you guys immediately became best friends, more like sisters neither of you had. 

''Do I smell bacon?'' You heard your dad's voice boom through the entire floor. If there was thing he loved more than being Iron Man you swore it was bacon. He soon made an appearance, helping himself to some coffee.

''This wouldn't have anything to do with a... guy?'' he asked cautiously. You spun around shocked. If there was thing you weren't allowed to do it was too date, as far as your father was concerned no one would ever be good enough for his baby. You whined about this, insisting you were more than old enough but it always ended in an arguement so you dropped it, not really being interested in anyone anyways. 

''Why do you always assume every time I'm happy it has something to do with a guy?'' You retort back, finishing up the last of the bacon and eggs, popping them onto different plates. You began popping the leftovers onto one plate and into the microwave, writing a quick note on a notepad stating there was breakfast. Of course you made sure to add a cheeky note at the end -chefmaid. 

''Cause it usually does'' He replies sassily, giving you the look. You just rolled your eyes and laughed, knowing your father was right yet again. 

''Well..'' You trail off, bringing the plates over to the breakfast table, Thor immediately grabbing the plate which looked to have the most on it and began to devour the food. You couldn't help but to let out a smile at the sight. 

''Not today'' you finished. You handed a plate to your father before walking around to the breakfast table, sitting down beside Natasha seeing it was the only spot left.

''Really?'' Natasha asks cheekily, swallowing her mouthful of food before turning her head to face you, with a hint of an evil smirk. 

''Is that why I could hear you up most of the night last night giggling like a middle schooler to your phone as you were talking to pet-'' You quickly lifted a hand to her mouth to silence her just causing her to laugh and pull your hand away from her mouth. You noticed grease on your palm from her lips and you sighed in disgust, causing her to laugh again. 

''What?'' Tony spoke up, suddenly more interested in the conversation than the uneaten bacon on his plate. You quickly glanced at your wrist, fawning shock. 

''Wow is that the time?! I should really get going!'' You exclaimed dramatically, causing your father to roll his eyes with a smile at your behaviour. 

''Your not even wearing a watch'' Thor states, a piece of bacon hanging from the corner of his mouth. Wanda, Natasha and yourself try and cover up your laughter at the sight. 

''Nothing escapes your keen senses huh Thor?'' You ask sarcastically, him smiling through his mouthful of food as he nods his head in agreement. You began to laugh as you hoped off your stool, bringing your plate over to the sink. After giving it a rinse you stack up your plate and quickly go to give your dad a quick peck on the cheek. You headed towards the stairs and raced up, making it to your room quickly. You went over to your wardrobe to pick out your outfit for the day. You quickly went to have a shower to wash the night away, preparing for a new yet hopefully awesome day.

~At school

''I swear if I have to sit through one more bloody lecture I'll-'' You caught Liz's rambling off with a blank look.

''You'll what?'' You ask sassily, knowing exactly how to get under your best friends skin. She looked over at you and shook her head, a hint of a smile forming across her lips. 

''I might just look for a new best friend'' She replies back sarcastically. You mocked hurt and covered your heart with your hand, pretending to almost begin to cry. You wrapped your arm around her shoulder, slowly beginning to drag her down the hallway towards Geography. 

''You would do that to your only best friend?'' You began to slowly smirk as you saw the wheels in her head turning. 

''Only?!" she asks out in fake shock, stopping midway through the hallway. You gently pulled on her, clutching your book to your chest in one hand while the other was still wrapped around her shoulder.

''Ahhh let's face you'll never be able to replace me'' you replied cockily. She just rolled her eyes at your antics. You could say it was the little bit of Tony shining through you, you could be cocky at times. 

''You got a test to do Leach'' She says, unwrapping your arm from around her shoulder.

''Am not!" You called out as she continued down the hallway towards her class.

''Are so!" She calls back, a few people in the hallways stopping to look at the little scenario but most of them ignored it and continued on like nothing happened. It was normal for the two most popular girls in school to muck around with each other. 

You let out a sigh and turned around, bumping into a brick wall. Well that's new... walls could suddenly move now.. 

You glanced up and beamed a smile at the person you saw. 

''Hey Pete!'' You gushed, wrapping your arms around him in a hug. He was caught off guard like usual, slowly and cautiously beginning to hug you back. You lent back seconds later, giving him your jaw dropping smile. You and Pete had been friends for the past six months, ever since you got stuck on the pop quiz in maths and he totally saved your ass. You walked up to him after class and began talking to him, he was a stuttering mess at the start of your guys friendship but after a month it went away, him growing comfortable around you. 

''Hey... why so chipper it's a Monday morning?'' He questions strangely, noticing how you haven't stopped smiling since you guys bumped into each other. The bell rang stopping short the encounter. 

''Save me a seat at lunch'' You playfully punch his arm softly, noticing how he tenses anytime you touch him. You always wondered why but then again he was a nervous kid and the more you got to know him the more you realised it was infact cause you were a girl. First girl to really talk to him since Freshman year. (Both of you are Juniors in this btw probably should have mentioned that). 

You began walking away with a slight skip in your step and your face sporting a smile. 

Peter's pov# (third person kinda)

He watched you walk down the hallway with a slight sway. He couldn't help but to chuckle softly, finally reaching down to grab his books that had scampered to the ground when you bumped into him. He began walking towards his class, sparing one last glance in your direction before stepping inside, his cheeks turning a slight shade of pink.

~Lunch

After collecting his food from the cafeteria he made his way over towards Ned. He sat down beside him and immediately Ned went for his milk, knowing Peter didn't really like it.

''Help yourself'' He muttered causing Ned to just smile at him with food in his mouth. Peter just laughed, digging into his food. 

2 minutes later Y/N came through with her food, plonking across from the two boys. Peter looked up with a mouth full of food and smiled, not realising a bit of food fell out causing Ned to groan in disgust. However Y/N just laughed and shook her head, beginning to eat her food. Peter had soon realised what had happened and quickly wiped at his mouth.

You guys continued to eat in silence before you heard a groan from Y/N. Both Ned and Peter looked up at her. 

''What's up?'' Ned asks. Y/N just turns to face him, now with a frown etched across her features. She just sighed and shook her head. 

''Liz is holding a party tonight and really wants me to be there to help co-host but I'm really not up for it'' She says letting out a dramatic sigh. Ned and Peter just looked to each other and shook their heads, sharing the same thought.

''Since when is this a bad thing?'' Peter asks, speaking both Ned's and his thoughts. 

''Since it's a Monday and I don't wanna be surrounded by drunken idiots-'' She stopped herself, looking like she was getting an idea. She began to smile again and glanced up at the boys with a smirk. 

Peter began to shake his head knowing where this was going. 

''No'' He states before she could even ask. She huffs.

''But please?'' She begs, slightly nawing at her bottom lip. Peter notices this and still shakes his head. 

''Not gonna happen'' He says, returning back to his food. 

''it'll be funnnn'' She says in a sing-song voice, Ned looking up to the idea of going to a Party, especially one hosted by the two most popular girls in school. 

''Still a no Y/N'' Peter says. She sighs and lets her hands fall into her lap, her head ducking lightly, trying to think of a idea. She looked back up and over to Ned.

''What about you? You in?'' She asks Ned, him immidiately nodding his head to the idea. Peter couldn't help but to stare at his best friend, slowly beginning to shake his head. Ned glanced towards and slyly winked, already coming up with a plan of his own. Peter shook  his head and glanced down to his plate.

''There's no getting out of this is there?'' Peter asks. 

''Nope'' Y/N replies popping the 'p'.

Y/N's pov#

''Dad!" You called out, wrapping your cardigan tighter around you as you walked down the stairs. You glanced around the floor, trying to find Tony.

''I'm heading off now!'' You called out loudly in hope he could hear you. You sigh when you don't hear a response. You look towards the ceiling. 

''Friday?'' 

''Yes Y/N?'' she responds. 

''Let Dad know I've left and that I'll be back by our set time'' She sends the message along to where he was currently working, in his labs.. of course. You walked towards the elevator and made your down to the ground floor. You saw Happy standing beside the door waiting for you. You smiled at him before he began to lead you to the car, opening the door for you. 

''Thank you Happy'' You say gratefully as you stepped in and sat down. He just rolled his eyes and smiled before hoping into the drivers seat himself. You pulled out your iphone and popped a message with Peter. 

''You better not chicken out on me Parker'' You murmured softly as you typed the messaged into the text field, sending it. Seconds later a ding from your phone signalling you had a message. 

Of course I haven't I'm spiderman remember? -Peter

Yeah whatever Spidey, see you guys in 10 -Y/N 

You closed your phone and enjoyed the peaceful ride to Liz's. 

~At the party

''Hey!" Liz runs up to you already tipsy, wrapping her arms around you bringing you into a bone crushing hug. 

''Need... air... circulation'' You breathed out, feeling the air harder to get into you lungs due to the amount of pressure pressed against your body. She pulls away and smiles, putting a red solo cup into your hand. 

''Nope I'm doing tonight sober'' You reply, not really in the mood to be drinking. She just frowns before she looks behind you, noticing other people. 

''Hey guys!'' Liz says happily walking up to Peter and Ned. You turned around and smirked once you saw Ned's eyes light up at the sight of Liz. But your eyes went over to Peter who was dressed in his usual attire, yet his hair seemed... messier? It was cute it suited him.

You eyes raked his body on their own accord and slowly made there way to meet his gaze. You just smiled with a nod, approving of his outfit.

''Get your but in here'' You state, grabbing onto Peter's arm, leading him away from a talking Liz and Ned. You pulled parker further into the house towards the back. Hardly anyone was out the back so you walked over to the pool area, sitting on one of the lounge pool chair things. Peter sat across from you. 

''So you bring me to a party just whisk me away in private?'' Peter asks, almost like he was slightly nervous. You smiled evilly and shrugged your shoulders innocently. 

''It's apart of my charm'' You respond casually, glancing towards the pool.

''Charm?'' He questions.

''To lure boys into a false sense of security'' You said sarcastically. He just chuckled in response. But to be honest Peter was glad you pulled him away, parties weren't really his scene and seeing that Liz was too busy talking with Ned he would have been alone anyways. 

You got of your sit, walking to the edge of the pool. You glanced down and saw how the pool lights made the pool shine, the water looking so tempting. 

''Feel like a swim?'' Peter asks, now walking to stand beside you. You shrugged your shoulder nonchalantly. 

''I don't'' you respond. 

''But you do'' Before he had time to react you reached for his pockets, quickly pulling out his phone before pushing him into the pull. He went in with a huge splash, some water managing to get onto you. He swam to the surface, whipping his hair out of his face as he stares at you in horror.

''What the hell Y/N!" You hated to admit it but Peter did look kinda hot whenever he got angry, which seemed to be more often seeing it was one of your new favourite things to do. He swam to the edge and you stepped away, knowing what he was going to do. 

''I'm not going to pull you in.. though I should'' He states still slightly angry. You couldn't help but to smirk, bending down to your knees and lying flat on your belly, resting your head on your hands.

''You wouldn't dare'' you taunt. 

''Why cause your a girl?'' he replies cheekily, his anger starting to slip away. He could never stay mad at you, no matter how much he wanted to at times. 

''No cause I'm wearing a dress'' You state in a 'duh' tone. He just rolls his eyes and swims closer. You watched as droplets off water from fell his hair and cheek, defining his jaw line even more. Maybe pushing him into the pool was a bad idea... Cause now you could see his muscles restraining as he rested his arms against the edge of the pool. 

''Too bad'' He lets out before reaching for your arms, beginning to pull you. You roll over onto your back laughing. 

''No! Don't you dare!'' You tried before you felt him pick you up bridal style before your body could hit the water. You eyes were closed, waiting for the impact that never came. He laughed. You slowly began to open your eyes, just to notice your noses just about touching. You sighed in relief. 

''Oh thank-'' You got cuahgt off as he threw you up in the air. 

''God!'' You screamed out as you came back into the water, your body being submerged. You push yourself up quickly to the surface and wipe the hair away from your face. You came up to notice Peter laughing. 

''That's not funny!" You said trying to get him to stop laughing. Great now your makeup was ruined, you must look like panda now.

''It's a lil funny'' he responds. You just huff and begin to splash water towards him. He turns his head away and you begin to laugh. 

''Your evil'' He says playfully before beginning to splash you back, his being much bigger than yours. You surrendered. 

''Okay! Okay just.. please stop" You had your eyes closed. He stopped and smiled. The water actually washed most of your makeup away leaving you with your natural look. Good. He always Preferred that over the makeup you were anyway, that was nice too but it could never beat your natural beauty in his eyes. 

Your gazes adverted to the party that was still going on inside. 

''Do you wanna go?'' You ask, your eyes not leaving the scene. He nodded his head in agreement, beginning to climb out of the pool. You followed suit, Peter giving you his hand to help you up. You both walked back over to the chairs, collecting your jumpers and cardigan. You guys left the pool area and headed through the door and back inside. 

''Okay... why are you guys wet?'' Liz comes up and asks. You just shrug your shoulders and grab ahold of Peter, pulling him along with you. 

''Be safe kiddies!'' She calls out. You rolled your eyes at her drunken state and headed towards the front door. As soon as you both left the music, horny teenagers filled room you wrapped you cardigan around your body.

~later

You guys had decided to walk back to his and have Happy pick you up from there. Though the trip back felt slightly tense... you didn't know why. You shook your head from your thoughts and followed him into his apartment. 

''Where's Aunt May?'' you ask. 

''Asleep'' he says, noticing her bedroom door closed and her light off. You nod and follow him into his bedroom. He walked over to his wardrobe and grabbed a change of clothes out. 

''Can I borrow a....'' You trailed off, kind of feeling nervous seeing this was the first time you were asking to borrow Peter's clothes. He just turns to you and nods, throwing a grew sweater towards you. He turned around and walked into the bathroom, shutting the door behind him. You quickly stripped out of your dress and slipped on the sweater, noticing how the sweater was soft and it went to your mid thigh. You pulled the sleeves pasts your hands cause they were so long. 

You smiled softly, your cheeks turning a shade of red as you lent in to his sweater, sniffing the material. You smiled noticing the familiar scent before walking towards the bed. You pulled out your phone and began to play a game as Peter was still in the bathroom. You notice the door open slightly, seeing Peter stick his head out and only his head. You furrow your eyebrows. His cheeks turn pink.

''Can you grab the...'' He trails off pointing towards the pieces of cloth that were beside you on the bed. You nod and collect them in your hands, handing them to him noticing he was just in his boxers.

''You know I could help you with that'' you tease. He looks back up at you wide eyed. 

''Your clothes?'' He just sighed and his face seemed to turn angry. He just rolled his eyes and pretty much slammed the door in your face. Ouch. You were confuse, you teased him all the time? Yet he never has been this cross with you. You frown and walked back over to the bed, picking up your phone. You heard a ding go off from somewhere in the room. You realised it was from Peter's phone and went over to see who it was that had messaged. 

''It's from Ned!'' You call out just loud enough for him to hear you from the bedroom. You could hear things fall over in the bathroom. You looked at the bathroom door weirdly before going into his messaging app. Silly boy didn't even have a password. 

You went over Ned's contact and tap. 

''Y-y-y/n'' You could hear Peter stutter out nervously as he walked back into his room fully clothed. He began to make his way towards you, ready to snatch the phone out of your hand. You scrolled up a bit, noticing Ned was actually responding to a text Peter sent a few days ago. A smirk traveled across your lips as you began to read aloud. 

"Before I met you, I felt that I couldn't love anyone, That nobody would be able to fill the void in my heart, But that all changed when I met you... Then I came to realize you were always on my mind. You're funny and sweet, You make me laugh and smile, You take away all my anger and sadness, You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, More beautiful than any flower that I have ever seen, You made me weak when I talked to you, Then I started to write poems about you, Now, I have come to realize that I am Hopelessly-" You stopped, your breath catching in your throat. It was beautiful.. the poem. So beautiful it made your heart stop. (Source: familyfriendpoems.com/poem/hopelessly-in-love )

"in love with you." You finished. The whole time Peter just stood behind you, listening as you read out the poem single handedly thinking this had got to be the worst day of his life. You scrolled down to see what Ned had sent.

''You need to tell her Peter...'' You trailed off reading it out, Peter sighing as you realised Ned had left out a very important yet embarrassing part thank god.

''Tell who?'' you asked turning around, your voice becoming soft. You felt your chest begin to tighten, realising that Peter was in love with someone and hadn't even told you. He looked up to you hoping you wouldn't ask that question.

''She's.. no one'' he says, avoiding eye contact and began to rub the back of hid neck. You scoffed in disbelief. 

''Well obviously she isn't if your in love with her Peter'' you state as a matter of fact. He sighed again and ran a hand through his damp hair. 

''Okay.. okay'' He says, stopping in the center of his room. He shook his head, not believing he was about to do this. 

''H-h-how could I possibly... tell her how I feel?'' He asks nervously. You walked over to him with a soft smile.

''You could start by writing her another poem'' You say with a smile. He was too entranced in your eyes to move from his spot.

''C-c-can I read it out to y-y-ou?'' he asks, you nod eagerly wanting to hear more and more of these poems. Something inside you stirred but you ignored it. 

He walked away and over to his bed side table, pulling out a sheet of paper. He walked back over to you and stood infront of you. 

He looked you in the eyes one last time, its now or never he thought before beginning. 

" I have a feeling That I can't comprehend In my deepest thoughts you are More than just a friend. I wouldn't want to Rush us now As love we explore But there's a growing love inside That we just can't ignore. I love the times we Spend together. We are comfortable And free. I think of you when we are Alone. I think of you and me. We have shared Secrets to uncover. There's more To life. We will both discover. I love you always. I'll love you when you're dumb, I'll love you when you're smart, I'll love you anyway you are, Right from the start. I'll love you if you're tall I'll love you if you're short, I'll love you if you're pretty, Or just an ugly dork. I'll love you if you're toothless, I'll love you if you're blind, Anything that's wrong with you, To me you'll be fine. My heart is opening up now, Unlike it used to do, I see the pain that's in your heart And sometimes I feel it too. I'll love you tomorrow, I'll love you today, I'll love you forever, And forever always. (Source: familyfriendpoems.com/poem/my-true-love )

You were dumbstruck. You weren't expecting a wave of emotions to wash over you... but one stuck out.. 

He glanced up at you once he finished and looked you in the eyes. You could feel your chest tighten and it wasn't until you this moment you knew why. 

You were jealous cause he was in love with someone else. That's why you teased him relentless or got him angry and played around with him, you were completely and utterly in love with him and it was too late. You hadn't even realised you had fallen until you fell.
