The Story Behind The Song: Arctic Monkeys’ early ambitions on ‘A Certain Romance’

Lucy Harbron – Far Out Magazine | January 17, 2024

It was 2006. Mortgages were crashing, and businesses were going bust. Tony Blair was on his last legs in office as the longest-serving prime minister since Margaret Thatcher, and the hangover of ‘Cool Brittania’ was beginning to set in with an unexpected ferocity. Things were bleak when a young Alex Turner sang, “There ain’t no romance around there” through the public’s speakers. Arctic Monkeys were about to write themselves into musical history as the voice of a new generation.

The final song on their debut album, there has always been something special about ‘A Certain Romance’. In 2022, after the release of their seventh album, The Car, Turner seemed to find himself reflecting back on that 2006 track. To the musician, that early cut holds a clue to everything that was to come as he said the piece “showed that we did actually have these ambitions beyond what we once thought we were capable of”.

Coming in at over the five-minute mark, ‘A Certain Romance’ almost feels like the Arctic Monkeys’ version of a rock opera, summarising all the themes, feelings and energy that came before it on their seminal album Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not. It has the cheekiness of ‘Fake Tales Of San Francisco’ and the catchy instrumentals of hits like ‘Dancing Shoes’ or ‘I Bet That You Look Good On The Dancefloor’. Utilising the northern charm of ‘Mardy Bum’, it stands as a final, neatly summarising point on the social commentary found in their early tracks like ‘From The Ritz To The Rubble’ or ‘Riot Van’. Really, it could be argued that ‘A Certain Romance’ is the ultimate example of Arctic Monkeys’ original sound, perfectly encapsulating all the things that made the world listen up and pay attention.

It’s like they seemed to know that, too, always allowing the song a special place. In fact, it was really the band’s opening remark. Years before the offer of a debut album came around, the group were a well-oiled machine with their own local hits. They had the northern live music scene in their hands as their homemade demo CD was passed around like everyone’s worst-kept secret. Beneath the Boardwalk features eight out of the 13 songs that would be on Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not, albeit in a slightly different, lower-quality version. But the opening number, ‘A Certain Romance’, sounds just the same.

It’s all there, from the rolling opening drums to that final guitar solo. Recorded and produced in a rented studio at only age 17, the existence of ‘A Certain Romance’, one of the band’s most explorative and energetic numbers, in this form this early in their career feels like a diamond sitting in a mine. It proves that they were always onto something special.

They never needed any help. In fact, their producer, Jim Abbiss, noted that they even seemed nervous about the help. “I think they were probably a bit weary, like ‘who’s this guy? And is he gonna make our sound this or that.’”

They didn’t want anything to change too much, as the group already had the songs figured out. Turner certainly did, as the track’s meandering narrative about hometown lads, fights, and local boredom is already there. Talking on a podcast, original member Andy Nicholson revealed the story behind the song. “We had a practice room with a pool table in, and we had a party in there, and we invited another band who were friends of ours, and we all had some drinks,” he said. “Then something happened, someone throws a pool cue, someone throws a pool ball, and everyone ends up fighting,” he added, explaining the lyrics, “there’s boys in bands / And kids who like to scrap with pool cues in their hands.”

But the magic of Arctic Monkeys lies in their nuance. What begins as a snooty analysis of his local landscape is a genuinely affectionate take. “Well, over there, there’s friends of mine / What can I say? I’ve known ’em for a long long time / And, yeah, they might overstep the line / But you just cannot get angry in the same way,” Turner sings, looking around at his bandmates and lifelong friends. ‘A Certain Romance’ is not only a time capsule for the group’s beginnings but is an ode to all the people who were there with them. It’s an ode to the hometown that made them and all its various characters.

But as the last guitar solo roars to life, there is an unspoken statement that they’re going to be bigger than what they came from. “I remember when we were recording ‘A Certain Romance’ and having a conversation with the producer about the final guitar solo,” Turner told NME, recalling the moment these songs were reworked for their debut. But they wouldn’t let anyone mess with ‘A Certain Romance’, knowing exactly what they were doing and trying to say with that one. In the 2003 demo version, all the feeling is already there, and Turner wouldn’t risk it.

“There’s something that happens at the end of that track where we break some rules in a single moment,” he continued. What happens at the end of the piece feels even more special, considering how the album was recorded. “These are the songs we wanna do, and I think this is the order we wanna do them in,” Alex Turner told their producer, recounting the conversation in 2007 to RadioX, “And he goes, ‘alright, we’ll try to record them in that order as well.’” As the final song, that last guitar solo is the last thing recorded for the album, standing as a cathartic outlet and a chance for the band to prove themselves.

“We focused on the [emotional] effect of the instrumentals over the words,” Turner reflected on the track, concluding, “and I feel like we’ve been trying to do that again and again since then.”

Nervous mc meeting her boyfriends familly !!

for: Azul, Jade, Duece, Malleus, Jamil

(Had to make a lot of assumptions in this bc we don't really know what MOST of their parents are like so)

Azul Ashengrotto:

Azul’s mother has a keen eye and a serious look on her face when you first meet; if you’re not of a tough constitution you might falter under her gaze but otherwise she presents the front of a protective mother looking out for her son. She had made her own bad choices in the past (ex: first husband) but she knew Azul was a little more discerning when it came to that; he had to know the proper way to treat a lover just from seeing his mother with her current husband. She didn’t want to openly doubt your sincerity but there’s a quiet threat lingering between you that if you were to ever break her sons heart, land or sea she WILL be finding you.

Deuce Spade:

Deuce’s mom is the nicest woman you’ve ever met, and her kindness bleeds into the meeting immediately as she makes you feel as comfortable as possible in her home. She wants you to treat it as your own, fawning over how sweet and cute you were, tearing up a little that Deuce found someone like you. She gladly embarrasses her son to the point all your nervousness melted away, but Deuce was then left twice as nervous as he had not a single clue what kind of memories his mom held in the hefty albums she placed on the table in front of you.

Jade Leech:

The Leech parents are scary at first sight, but appearance isn’t everything. Once they know who you are, and trust me, Jade has written home about you, they’re very welcoming. They practically consider you part of the family since Jade is so found of you, and they admit to being a bit worried that either one of their sons would find a partner suitable for them. They do try to make things a little less intimidating, telling their definitely normal business people bodyguards to remain mostly out of sight so you feel more at ease.

Jamil Viper:

Jamil is a little embarrassed to introduce you to his family, but he knew he’d get more grief from his sister than his parents. She wants dirt but she’s on her best behavior in front of their parents, who greet you respectfully and welcome you into their home wholeheartedly. You can see that his mother is quite warm from the start, with his father mentioning that they had been eagerly awaiting their official meeting with you; he was also eagerly awaiting a day where they met your parental figures, which caused Jamil to let out a deep, exhausted sigh.

Malleus Draconia:

You have never been more stressed in your life. No matter how much Malleus, and Lilia to some extent, tried to assure you that you simply had to exude a level of confidence that showed you weren’t easily intimidated, it would be smooth sailing. Easier said than done when she’s a woman even more intimidating that Malleus himself, who you loved dearly and could still admit he had his moments where he was strikingly terrifying. She’s proper, not necessarily friendly but kind as she invited you into her home, making it clear that as long as you were respectful and followed the rules she laid out, the two of you would have no trouble getting along.

Gold Rush —

: ̗̀⇢pairings: shinyu x lesserafim member! reader

: ̗̀⇢synopsis: IN WHICH shinyu falls for a person he shouldn't have fallen for, a lesserafim member, [name].

: ̗̀⇢genre: fluff, sfw

: ̗̀⇢warnings: swearing, slight characterisation of the reader, written in shinyu's pov, purposely written in lowercase, reader is a female (because lesserafim is a girl group)

"sunghoon-ssi, i wonder what group is coming for today's music bank?" [name] asked, looking at sunghoon who was the mc alongside her.

"well, [name]-ssi, i think today's group is the new boy group who just debuted under hybe, pledis!" sunghoon read out the script skillfully.

"ahh right! what was their group name again? t-... to...?" [name] pretended to forget, playing along with the script.

"it's tws, [name]-ssi! how could you forget?" sunghoon shook his head disapprovingly.

"right! well then, where are they?" [name] looked around, pretending to be confused as tws jumped out from behind. "ah! there they are!"

"why don't you guys introduce yourselves to the audience who arent familiar with you guys yet?" sunghoon asked tws, signalling for them to do their group chant.

"tws, say hello. 24/7 with us, hello we are tws!" a familiar leader started, making you look back at the group to spot the leader, shinyu.

"ahh! aren't they such a fresh group, sunghoon-ssi?"

"hm, they are, but i think enhypen is fresher!"

"oh really? well then i think lesserafim is smarter!" [name] smirked as she referenced back to her own group's recent comeback's b-side song, 'smart'.

tws, or to be specific, shinyu watched the two mc's interact with each other in front of the live broadcast with a slightly salty reaction. he knew that [name] and sunghoon has been friends for a long time, but it didn't stop him from feeling jealous of their interactions.

shinyu has had a crush on [name] since the day he entered hybe for the first time. he had gotten lost on his first time there, which lead him to [name], who so sweetly helped him get to his destination. ever since then, he has tried to have an interaction with her again, any interaction.

the day she debuted in lesserafim, he had anticipated for her to receive much love and support, but he didnt expect her to become as famous as she was now. it's almost as if, everyone who has met her, wants her. that's when he realised that falling for someone like her, was either going to ruin him or improve him for the better.

he couldn't do anything but watch her and sunghoon laugh and chat while he stands behind, waiting for his turn to speak.

"so, shinyu, could you please explain to us what your group's new debut album, 'sparkling blue' is about?" [name] suddenly turned behind to look at him, smiling widely, causing his cheeks to heat up slightly as he looked at her lips. clearing his throat, he began to explain while avoiding eye contact to prevent rumours from spiralling up in order to protect [name]'s reputation.

after the interview, shinyu waited for her outside lesserafim's door. as he knocked on the door, another member of lesserafim, sakura, opened the door instead.

"[name]-ah! someone is looking for you again!" sakura quickly realised who he was here for as she turned back to look for [name] before turning back to excuse herself.

'again? do people look for her that often? i guess everyone wants her, like me...' he thought to himself silently as he waited for [name].

"junghwan oppa? you were looking for me? also, you did really well in the interview today!" [name] smiled up at him. as he saw her smile, he understood why everyone would like her.

"i... wanted to tell you something..." shinyu began, shifting around nervously as she waited patiently for him to start. "i... like you, and i wish to get to know you better!"

hearing no sound, he looked up anxiously, waiting for her response, only to see her smiling face as she suddenly hugged him tight.

"i like you too! i always thought you liked me as a sister, but now i know you dont like me that way!..." [name] mumbled into his chest, where her head was as she continued hugging him.

"r-really? well then, could i maybe... court you?" he stuttered out as his face heated up.

"yes of course! im so glad you asked, junghwan oppa!" [name] giggled as she saw his red face.

'god, anyone would die to be in my position right now! yea... i could get used to this...' shinyu thought to himself before smiling gently.

Midnight rain

PAIRING: JACK HARLOW X READER

GENRE: Angsttttt

A/N: so.... yeah.... i'm a taylor swift fan. I've had a very tiring two weeks, but I wrote this in a rush of inspiration (like almost always lol), I needed to get it out of my system. wondering whether to write a one shot for each midnights song 👀

I UPDATED MY MASTERLIST!!!

Rain, he wanted it comfortable I wanted that pain He wanted a bride I was making my own name Chasing that fame

Behind all that player facade, Jack was in love with love… but that changed when you arrived, because he went from being in love with love to being in love with you, but after a while… that changed again.

You loved him back, but your heart was young and you felt that there was still a lot to experience, you were ambitious and you knew that Jack was too, that's why you believed that it would be many years before the relationship was formalized and you started a comfortable and small life with children and rings on your fingers. However, Jack's whole world had changed when he met you, he felt he had met his destiny, and his ambition to conquer the world turned into an ambition to have a life with you.

That's why, when you opened the medicine drawer and found a small burgundy box with a ring inside, your world fell apart. You ignored it for as long as you could, convinced yourself that maybe Jack was saving it for a friend, after all, he hadn't tried to hide it very well. You avoided every invitation to romantic dinners, especially if it was in a fancy restaurant, fearing that moment would come.

It came like a postcard Picture perfect, shiny family Holiday, peppermint candy But for him it's every day

“You should have known that the day you met his family”, you thought every day since you left him. A happy family, his parents together, a good relationship with his brother, joking about grandchildren at the first family dinner. You smiled and thought: "Surely he is thinking in ten years, maybe fifteen..." and you managed to fool yourself for a while.

My boy was a montage A slow-motion, love potion Jumping off things in the ocean I broke his heart 'cause he was nice

There was a moment where you couldn't help it anymore, and you just let it happen. Jack knelt on the kitchen floor, the burgundy box in his hands. Your eyes filled with tears and his chest heaved with happiness, but it was quickly replaced when without even asking the question, you started to shake your head: your tears weren't from happiness. His smile fell. It was all over.

He was sunshine, I was midnight rain

The first time you saw Jack, his smile was bright and his body exuded a comfortable warmth when he hugged you. Always happy, always laughing, that's what you loved most about him: his joy and optimism. At the same time, your body was a true reflection of yourself, running your icy fingers down Jack's back, giving him chills, but making him laugh; the lyrics of your songs mostly sad, letting the pain inspire you most of your life; always behind him and holding his hand, afraid of new people, but feeling safe every time Jack introduced you to someone hugging you from the side, with a protective arm around your shoulders, letting you know you were never alone. Sometimes people joked about how different you guys were, even your star signs were complete opposites. The moon and the sun had met, if only for a brief moment.

I guess sometimes we all get Just what we wanted, just what we wanted

Five years after ending your relationship, the night after Jack's wedding, you won your fifth Grammy, for your most successful album to date, the one that had broken all records, both your personal ones and those of the rest of the music scene. You gave a speech with tears in your eyes, your heart overflowing with feelings… you and Jack: each had gotten what you wanted most in life one night apart.

Jack watched your speech on the couch at home, cuddling with his wife, and heaved a deep sigh when he heard you thank your past loves for being the great inspiration for your album.

And he never thinks of me Except when I'm on TV And I never think of him Except on midnights like this

Brendon, Jon, Ryan, and Spencer sat and listened to the studio version of the album that they'd created together. Nervously, they stared ahead at the older male who listened intently to their music, staying completely silent. Once the demo album had finished, the eldest clicked pause on the computer to prevent the tracks from looping, and leaned back on the couch before nodding and clasping his hands together. The four barely-out-of-high-school boys had matching racing heart rates as they waited in anticipation for him to say anything at all. Every moment of silence felt like an eternity.

"I've gotta sign you guys. You have such an excellent sound that the world needs to hear. Don't even get me started on how phenomenal your lyrics are," He turned to Ryan, nodding at him as he kept talking, "You're so young yet so poetic. I dig it, man. Keep up the good work." Pete said, a large smile overtaking his face. An honored smile slowly wriggled its way onto the tallest member's face as he looked down at his hands, embarrassed and nervous, yet grateful.

Brendon was the first to shoot up and yell, "Are you serious?! Hooooly shit!" He laughed giddily, Spencer and Jon high-fiving as Ryan sat in shock, voiceless. Brendon pulled him up and gave him a very tight hug, "Dude, thanks to your awesome lyricism, we're going places!" Ryan still hadn't been able to speak, but when he opened his mouth to attempt such, Pete stood up and grabbed the phone buzzing in his back pocket and glanced at it before making a quick exit, "Sorry guys, gotta head to my own rehearsal. Talk soon." The boys had all nodded and basically yelled their gratitude as he walked away, and Brendon followed behind him to let Pete out, as they were at Brendon's house. Though, before Pete left the Urie house, he turned and spoke loud enough for the whole band to hear him, "And hey, congrats. Seriously."

Brendon nodded his thanks as he let the man out and turned back to his friends and bandmates. For someone who never really knew when exactly to be quiet, Brendon was pretty much speechless, minus some excited laughs.  He pulled everyone into a hug, to which everyone gratefully partook in. Though, a kind and gentle voice interrupted their excitement and celebratory hug,

"Woah, I leave the house for like two hours and everyone's hugging. Everything okay-" Before she could properly formulate her question, the younger girl was swept off of her feet by her older brother, causing her to giggle. "Jesus, Brendon, what the hell happened? You finally get laid?"

Her comment caused the boys to laugh, including her obnoxious older brother. "Pete just left–"

It was her turn to interrupt now, "Did you guys get signed?!" Brendon's words dissolved into excited giggles and he nodded emphatically. She squealed in excitement and hugged him tightly.

"So, is it just a Urie thing to interrupt each other, or...?" Ryan finally spoke up, mostly directing his comment towards Spencer and Jon rather than the two siblings. The two siblings' hug broke and the girl laughed at her brother's best friend's comment.

Ryan felt his heart skip a beat at the sound of her laugh, but he turned his head away once his and her eyes connected. She couldn't see him blush. Her brother would kill him if he found out how Ryan felt.

Y/n Urie was untouchable, deemed so by her protective older brother. It bothered Ryan to extraordinarily painful degree, the fact that he'd never be able to have Y/n all to himself, he'd never be able to take her on meaningful dates, to be able to kiss her beautiful face, touch her incredibly stunning body, be the man she told her deepest secrets to, or anything remotely similar.

A year ago, Brent fucking Wilson ruined that for him, and he'd never forgive him for that. Brent and Y/n had dated for about 3 years, and Y/n loved him with all of her soul, and Brent acted like he loved her all the same, until New Year's Eve.

Keltie Knight. A girl that the Urie's, and Ryan grew to hate.

Y/n had been looking everywhere for her boyfriend, as she wanted to kiss him as the year changed, she walked around the party, opening several doors, calling for him. She finally opened a bedroom door and found her so-called love of her life on top of Keltie, and she felt her heart absolutely shatter at the sight.  Her world began to spin. Who knew that in a party with blaring music, the sound of a heart splintering could still be heard?

The worst part? Brent showed absolutely no remorse. As he kept his pace, pleasing the girl beneath him, he held eye contact with Y/n. Y/n dropped the cups she was holding and ran out of the house, pushing past her very concerned older brother and his best friend.

Brendon felt his chest tighten in anxiety and worry as he looked at Ryan, he tilted his head towards the doorway Y/n ran through and started speed walking in the direction she had come. "Make sure she's okay." Brendon spoke before turning back around.

Ryan sprinted out of the house, following Y/n's footprints in the snow, "Y/n!" He called after her before she turned to him, the moonlight highlighting the tears that now cascaded down her cheeks. Ryan lost every sentence he'd prepared as he looked at the girl he'd loved, truly distraught.

So he did what he thought best, he held his arms open for her. She ran into his arms and sobbed her heart out as Ryan pet her hair soothingly, "Hey...Shhh, let it out, sweetheart. I'm here. Talk to me, what's going on?"

Ryan didn't mean to use a pet name on her, it just kind of slipped. He felt his face heat up in embarrassment before he mentally smacked himself; his girl, his best friend's sister, was very clearly upset over something and he was making things about himself. How selfish could he be? He couldn't help that Y/n truly brought out the protective side in him.

Y/n didn't realize that Ryan called her 'sweetheart', or if she did, she said nothing about it. She only pressed her face deeper into Ryan's chest, feeling if she hid her face far enough into him she'd forget what she'd just seen and felt.

Ryan lightly tapped her shoulder before he pulled her back a little bit to look her in the eyes as he cupped her face. "Y/n?" He pressed gently, causing her to take a deep breath as Ryan used the pad of his thumbs to wipe the tears under her eyes.

"Brent...Brent and Keltie Knight..." was the only thing she could muster before she collapsed in on herself, sobbing even harder than she previously was.

With as few words and she had used, Ryan pieced together what happened and held her as tightly as he could. Anger raged through his bloodstream and he felt his body start to heat up from pure fury.

Ryan then realized how cold the girl in his hold was. Ryan took off his gray sweater, placing it over the shaking girl's shoulders. He wrapped his arms around her once more and rested his chin on her head before sighing softly, "I know the last thing you want to do is go back in there, but you're freezing, Y/n. Plus, Brendon was really worried about you."

She only nodded against his chest before pulling away and smearing her already smudged makeup with the back of her hand. She held Ryan's hand tightly, and she looked up at him.

They've always said the eyes are the window to the soul, Ryan would know. He knew almost every poetic saying there was: that saying was loud and true, especially right now. His heart cracked into little slivers as he could see how broken the younger girl truly was.

She squeezed his hand tightly and he glanced down before looking back up at her, "Please don't let go." She quietly begged, causing him to nod.

He forced his feelings, heart racing and all, to steady. He couldn't believe how his body was betraying him, Y/n was just cheated on and he couldn't keep his thoughts from swimming.

"I promise I won't." Ryan affirmed, squeezing her hand back.

Ryan guided her back to the house and the music that was previously blaring was now completely off, or turned down. Ryan and Y/n could hear the loud booming of a crowd and the grunting and yelling of two males, the sound of skin to fist echoing into the dark night.

The two made their way back into the house and shoved their way to the front of the circle that'd formed. Ryan, the taller of the two, spotted their friends, Jon and Spencer and made their way over to him. Spencer, like another older brother to Y/n, took her from Ryan's grip, and she momentarily let go of Ryan's hand. She pulled away before moving over to Ryan, taking his hand again and hiding in his chest once more.

She tilted her head slightly, watching the fight in front of her, for  her unfolded.

Her brother was on top of Brent, punch after punch landing into his nose. Brendon was unscathed, which surprised even Brendon himself. He was smaller than Brent, which had both advantages and disadvantages. Brendon was more agile due to karate, but he was a little weaker. At least, typically he was, but seeing his supposed friend, who was dating his sister, cheating on her unapologetically activated a different type of adrenaline in him.

Brent was bleeding and started to swell like a dropped fruit. "How could you do that to her?!" Brendon shouted down at him, another blow landing into Brent's face, "She and I fucking trusted you!" Another hit.

And another.

And another.

And another.

And then, Brendon stood up.

He walked over to Y/n and pulled her into a hug, still staring at Brent. He hadn't seen her and Ryan holding hands. A good thing. Especially right now. Ryan would've been lying if he said the cuts and blood on Brendon's hands didn't freak him out, at least a bit.

He walked Y/n towards the door before stopping at Brent's barely conscious body and kicking into his side as hard as he could, spitting on him. He wrapped his arms around Y/n once more, Ryan, following after the two.

As they got into the car, Brendon slid into the driver's seat, looking at Y/n in the rearview mirror, "I'm so sorry, Y/n, I won't let another one of my friends hurt you."

~

An elbow to the side knocked Ryan out of his reverie, and with a grunt of pain, he let out an irritated, "What?"

Jon snorted before gesturing towards Y/n who was now standing in front of him, no longer in the arms of her brother,

"I said, are you allergic to anything? I'm making a celebratory cake for you all! Pay attention, Ross!"

Ryan did his best to keep his composure, he rolled his eyes and shoved her playfully, "Obviously not, shouldn't you know this already?" He teased, smiling at her.

"Just making sure. Not trying to hide your dead body if you actually are allergic to something I make." And with that, she turned away and headed toward the kitchen, Spencer and Brendon following after her, excited to eat her awesome cake.

Jon lingered back for a moment with Ryan, "You gotta be careful man. I can't always save you." And then he headed towards the kitchen too.

Shit, was it that obvious he was thinking about her? There were some things she did that made him feel like she could possibly feel the same about her: the small stolen glances at him, the laughing sincerely at his jokes, making sure he was never left out of a conversation, the reassuring hand squeezes when he was nervous, the excited hugs. Man, her hugs were heavenly.

Jon was the only one who knew how Ryan felt about Y/n, hell, Jon was the only one who knew their song 'Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off' was really about Brent and Y/n, and not him and his ex girlfriend. Jon knew everything and helped Brendon know nothing.

Ryan knew he needed to relax and hide his feelings better, but, come on!

She was wearing Ryan's sweater.

That had to mean something, right?

Right?

I saw the Hyunjin cheating imagine u did can u make that with beomgyu from txt and the idol is a reader but instead of cheating she like ruins his K-pop career for ever? If u do then thank you!

the last act

"You are not leaving, are you?"

You looked back at Beomgyu, fear in his eyes. If this is another situation, you'll stay. You'll not even think of leaving him. It was always you and him against the world. But now you can't swallow your pride even if you love him cause he also turned his back on you. Three years of a relationship went to waste. Three years of compromising, understanding, trusting, and loving each other in exchange for one month of fleeting moments between him and his new lover.

Where did everything start going wrong?

"After what you did, you expect me to stay with you?"

"Caused you love me that much."

You shake your head at him, "That's not a media play anymore to cover up what's the truth. That's the fucking truth, right there. You cheated. You are making me a fool."

"Y/N, you choose to believe that instead of me?"

"Tell me the truth now before you regret it. Does she know you have me?"

Beomgyu's silence only proved your intuition. You breathed deeply, swallowing whatever is forming in your throat. You looked at him one more time before leaving your shared apartment.

the comeback

"Y/N, everyone is excited about your comeback. I heard you participated in producing songs for your new album. Can you introduce us to your self-written songs?"

You politely smile at the emcee, chuckling with her enthusiasm. "It was not the title song unfortunately but I have my favorite song which I poured my passion into." "What is this song?" "'The last act' is the title of the song and it was about leaving someone who can't love you anymore."

"That's heartbreaking. What inspired you to write this?"

"Oh, my cheating ex-boyfriend," you nonchalantly said. Surprising everyone and even making the emcee flustered.

Media play.

You already talk about this with your agency and they agreed with you. Every time dating news of you and Beomgyu was out, your agency simply just waits for your side, never releasing a statement. Beomgyu's side was more protective of their artist and always denies 'dating rumors' between you two. That's why you were surprised when they confirmed a dating rumor of Beomgyu but not with you. Beomgyu assured you it was media play but that's not what you heard from the staff, from your common friends, from the people from the same industry. The interview was actually meant to add more fuel to the fire that Beomgyu was stepping on. You did not even need to drop a name, everybody was speculating, creating more scenarios in their head sometimes very near or very far from the truth. As you expected Beomgyu's agency released a statement that will help you more. Them denying everything while pictures of you and Beomgyu dating are circulating online will make them lose their credibility including the artist they tried to protect for a long time, your ex-boyfriend. Soon after, as you expected, a call from an unknown number was displayed on your lock screen.

"Y/N, you are ruining my career."

"I'm not doing anything." "You know exactly what you are doing!"

"I know what I'm doing, Beomgyu. But it was not me who started the fire."

"You are lying."

"I don't want you to forget that I gave you a chance and you chose not to tell the truth. Now she knows we both got played."

The silence on the other line told you a thing or two. He and his new lover didn't work out and he knew that he lied to you.

"This is how you finish playing Beomgyu, the last act."

A/N: This is my first time writing for TXT so, please bear with me. I enjoy watching videos of TXT but I really don't stan them that hard. That's why I find it challenging to write an AU for Beomgyu but thank you anon for this request. I enjoyed writing this. Happy reading.

The sequel of your dreams

AN: just a little something something

Pairing: Joseph Quinn x Reader; Billy x reader (ex)

Most of the time you would become good friends with your fellow actors, you thought this time wouldn't be any different, and that was the mindset you walked in with. The fans loved Eddie Munson's character in Stranger Things, that with a small company they decided to make a sequel, starring him, and you, as a love interest. It was kind of a walk in past times, as you had to play a character that was mostly comparabe to Blondie, or like Patti Smith. On the first day you walked in set, a few people rushed towards you, knowing you from before. Getting ready was smooth as ever, you laughed a lot.

You were shooting a scene where you were home alone, writing your new album drinking and smoking away when Joseph stepped into the set. He couldn't keep his eyes off of you as you played the part of the maneater-femme fatale 80's singer of Eddie's dreams. In the scene you're supposed to burn the skin of your breast with your cigarette cause of being so drunk you'd almost pass out. Except, the make-up team had forgot to install a patch of latex to protect your real skin, and the take was going too fell for you to just start again... So you indeed burned yourself. The next scene was you in the morning, head aching, skin hurting cause of the burn, in your underwear, laying on the couch as you boyfriend, Billy barges in, drunken, cigarette in his mouth, lipstick stain on the collar of his shirt.

You looked at eachother without saying a word, then he just went to the bedroom, shutting the door. The camera zoomed in, showing off your tear stricken eyes, swirling emotions in them, as if you weren't acting, as if this was real life. Joseph stood behind the camera in awe. How were you not a superstar yet. Your talent surpassed his in every way.

He had a reputation of a player, i mean.. c'mon he's from the UK, the accent, the looks... He could get anyone he wanted, and he did most of the time. It wasn't a problem, you met your fair share of actor like him, you knew exactly how to manouver around to keep your heart in-tact, and still be friendly.

When you finished the take, your assistant ran to you with a floor lenght robe to put around your body. You knew you looked bomb, but you were shy as hell in real life. Acting was another thing, you were in a completely different mindset there. You took a cup of coffee and went outside to smoke. WHen you stepped outside, he was already there. Oh.. the usual, i didn't knew you smoke play.. you smiled to yourself as he took his zippo lighter out, to light your cigarette.

-You were amazing in there. - he stated, looking you in the eye.

-Thanks. Cigarette burns still suck though. - you said snickering before taking a drag.

-It's just a patch of latex.. what is there to snicker about sweetheart? - he smiled at you and you were sure your heart will stop if you'll need to film the hot and bothered scenes with him.

-Yea.. it's supposed to be a patch of latex, but they forgot to put it on.. The taxe went too well to let it go to waist. I'll survive, and it will be more believable on the scenes. - you shrugged before putting out your cig, and head inside to continue.

You had put on black stockings, a jean short, and a ruined, cropped, band-tee. It was time to film a concert scene. This was where Eddie first saw you. Nothing major.

You were always dead set on singing on the scene yourself. YOur voice was captivating, with the essence of the early punks. As if you were made for this role.

The shock on Joseph's face wasn't an act as he heard you. Cameras capturing his face lit up, eyes sparkling as the world around you two faded. Billy's smiling face came into view. Standing beside him, both looking at you.

-Pretty thing huh? -he asked Eddie, and all he could do is nod, looking at you mesmerized.

-You know.. i'd share her with ya.. let's have some fun after the concert.. - Billy said with a wicked smile.

After it was over, you were next to the bar, talking to some of your friends, when Billy walked up to you putting a hand around your shoulders, making you flinch.

-Hey biscuit. Great one. Wanna have some fun with me in the back? -he whispered.

You couldn't say no. You held on to the smallest moments of kindness from him, even when you knew he did nothing but hurt you. Wether is was his hand, his words, or the cheating.

He led you into the back stage, where Eddie sat nervously on the couch. Your eyes glistened with tears as you saw another man waiting for you there. This wasn't about loving, and your fun.. This was about his dire need to still control you... To show that he still controlled you.

-Honey.. this is Eddie, and he was quite mesmerized with you out there... I though you could give him some more... - he smiled at you wickedly.

-Pl...please no.. - tears escaped your eyes, as you whispered.

Eddie's heart broke at the sight. Anger risen in him as he pushed Billy up the wall.

-You never deserved her you know that right? - he asked, face so close Billy could feel the spit flying on his face cause of his anger. He punched Billy, before kneeing him in the crotch still holding him up the wall.

-You'll leave her alone from now on, or you'll wish you did. - he said as he let Billy fall to the floor in pain. He looked at you, crouching next to you, handing you his phone to put your number in.

-If he'll ever bother you again, you call me, understand? - you just nod. With that he left.

You went home, not caring about your asshole of a boyfriend.. or ex boyfriend you should say.

You were basically punched awake the next morning. You knew you were no match, so you just let him take out his anger on you.. again. You already knew it will be hard to make the bruises disappear with makeup, but you'll try anyway. The only thing keeping you going is singing. Your guitarist calls you to tell you he came up with a high fever and won't be able to perform tonight, but he got a friend who'll step in.

That night, you tried your best to hide the limping, the fact that you couldn't even stand straight, your busted lip, and the numerous dark bruises you had all over.

You had succesfully hidden them for the most part, slowly getting up on stage, only to find Eddie smirk at you. You gave him a little nod, and started the performance.

After the concert he found you in your dressing room, drinking yourself to death.

-Woah sweetheart slow down.. - he said as he took the bottle from your hands. -What's wrong?

-Nothing. Mustering up the courage to go home. - you said as you started to took your makeup off, revealing all the bruises on your face, making his eyes go wild.

-You can't go there. I won't let you. - he walked up to your back, looking in your eyes over the mirror.

-There is nothing you can do to keep him away. My drunkard father sold me to him for what.. like 10 bottles of whiskey.. - you scoffed as you tried to touch your face, whincing from the pain.

-Come home with me. Promise not to do anything. Won't even look at you if you don'T want me to.- he smiled at you sadly.

-I can't have you get beaten up too Ed. - you turned to look at him.

-Tsk, as if.. c'mon, let's get you some spare clothes, and i'll show you my empire. - he said, as he gently took your hand.

These were hard scenes to film. Between takes Dacre always went up to you, making sure you knew this was just an act, and that he liked you very very much. You were laughing, snorting at something he said, when Joseph walked in, his eyes lit up as he heard you laugh.

-Hey Joseph, come, you need to hear this. - you giggled as you waved him over.

-Dacre says he needed to imagine us all naked so he'd won't be so nervous fake hitting me. - you laughed, fighting the tears. - can you imagine...

He raised an eyebrow while smirking - Well i mean.. i imagine you naked all the time... -he said before winking at you as you rolled your eyes.

-I'm immune to your british charm Joseph. - you laughed.

The next scene you had to film was one where you make a move on Eddie. It was quite a big jump from the deer-in-the-headlights characteristic you had, but well.. it was a movie. You nursed your coffee in your robe, only having skin coloured panties underneath and some small nipplepatches.

Eddie sat in an armchair in the corner of his room, as you walked up to him in your robe, straddling his legs, putting oyur hands around his neck, kissing him as he smirked into it.

-See something you like? - you asked him, as he used his hands to untie your robe. The cameras were behind you, so as the robe fell to the ground, you looked completely naked in his lap.

-I think i do.. - he said as he kissed your neck. It wasn't a fake kiss you usually used, it was verym uch real, and very much had an effect on you. Not to mention his hands holding your hips, making you grind on him. He nipped on your earlobe, so he could whisper something to you that only you heard.

-See the mess you've made?... I think my charms are working doll.. - as he continued his attack. The director said CUT, and you practically jumped off of him, as he smirked looking at your perfect ass.

The next scene was Eddie and you in the forest, out on a walk. He wanted to show you something. He looked nervous, and also kind of predatory as he circled you on a little clearing.

-I don't what to say Ed.. I'm too broken.. I can't trust anyone.. Couldn't possibly ask you to put up with that.. - you said looking down at your feet. At this point your character was madly in love with him, but knew she wasn't good enough for him. It would only take some time till he left her.

Josephs character was angry. And it seemed kind of genuine.

-I'd wait a thousand years if it meant you'd be mine at the end... Look, i even... i even had a tattoo made. - he showed you his chest. You looked at him with tear stricken eyes. Oh god how he would love to see those tears when you begged him to let you cum. He had to adjust himself, as your soft fingers traced along the fake tattoo on his chest before he leant down to kiss you. It wasn't a fake kiss either. But he knows you'd let him do anything as long as it's for the good take. From the other side where the cameras and the crew couldn't see, you palmed him, whispering to his lips.

-Two can play that game Quinn. - before hearing the director say CUT, as you immediately stepped back, and went to your trailer.

There was this pent up tension between the two of you, and it was hard not to act on it. But you had to control yourself for the sake of your heart, so you constricted it to the small flirting on set, in secret. That gave a plus thrill to it.

That night the crew went out for drinks to a nearby bar. You were dancing with your friend from the make-up team, while Dacre and Joseph were watching you from a booth.

-You really like her don't you? - Dacre asked as he took a swing from his bottle. Joseph just swinging his whiskey around in the glass.

-Well.. she drives me crazy for sure.. - he chuckled.

-Tell me.. i used to flirt with her back then when we were shooting ST, and somehow she turned it around and we've been best friends since. - he laughed looking at you fondly. -Never seen the shit she's doing to you though...

-Well not as she gives me a single thought outside of scenes.. - Joseph scoffed.

-She had her heart broken when she started out. Guy took advantage of her being a rookie and mixing up life and act. Never seen her with someone that way ever since..

-Hmm..

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

You were so drunk you didn't realize that instead of Dacre it was Joseph who took you back to the trailer. You were mumbling and talking as if you were talking to a friend.

-I like him you know... - you slurred your words. - he makes me feel all kinds of funny.. stupid british..

-It's alright hun. he wouldn't hurt ya. - he said in a low voice as he took off your shoes, you already sitting on your bed.

-How could you know Dacre?.. cmon.. - you asked as you grabbed his hand. -PJ party? - you asked with little pouty lips. He laughed. This will be fun in the morning.

-Well i know him, he's head over heels for ya.. - he said as you slapped his chest playfully.

-I know you're trying to set something up here my dear friend, but i'm sad to tell you that he avoids me outside of the scenes. I think he just does these things to make the scenes more believable.. - you said before laying your head on his chest. You were soon asleep.

You woke up with a splitting headache, and something heavy around you. As you slowly turned, careful not to wake whoever was behind you. God you hoped it's Dacre. Your eyes went wide when you met Josephs smiling face.

-Fuck, fuck fuck. -you said as you started to walk up and down in your trailer holding your head in your hands. - We didn't.. ? right?

-No sweetheart.. you thought i was Dacre. Surprised at the secrets you're willing to tell him though... - he smirked.

-Oh jesus.. forget whatever i said.. - you were blushing in emberassment. He stood up, smoothing hands over your upper arms.

-I wouldn't wanna do that sweetheart. -he whispered. -And just so you know, i do those things cause i want to, not cause i want to make our scenes better.. - he smirked before he left your trailer, leaving you standing there, dumbfounded.

After a few scenes, it has come to another smutty one. Gosh this sequel was nothing but soft porn for his fans. You were drinking wine in his bare lit kitchen, as he cornered you, one hand on each of your side, your back to the counter in the middle. He was so close you could feel his breath on your lips.

No words were exchanged, so he didn't have any other way of talking to you, except for touches. It was a slow burn. His fingers traced the hem of your hellfire shirt, you cut to make it a crop top. Goosebumps rising wherever his fingers went, making your breathing become ragged. He softly nudged your nose with his, before softly kissing you. He surely wanted to make you dizzy you thought.. Two can play the game though, your hands snaked under his shirt, feeling his muscles flex, and unseen for the cameras, you scratch his sides lightly, making him almost growl into your mouth. He puts his hands under your butt, to hop you on top of the counter, deepening the kiss., before getting rid of your shirt and his too. Soon, he kisses your neck, while unclasping your bra, holding you close. His other hand slowly inches up your thigh, under your skirt. It is unseen by the cameras, but you have to make it look like he's fingering you. Which he nearly did, he opted for slowly circling your aching nub through the thin fabric of your panties, making you whimper into his mouth, earning a smirk from him. He did make you dizzy. You forgot you were currently shooting. He snaked a finger around your panties moving them aside, carefully, one finger slowly entering you. He acted as if he was kissing your neck, but he was just whispering against your soft flesh.

-Gonna be a good girl for me (Y/n)? - and you just nod, whimpering. His other hand squeezed your thigh, and you didn't know how, but you were already fluttering around his finger, making him chuckle a little bit, before sucking a hickey to your neck.

-aaaand CUT, good job everybody.- the director shout, and he stepped back, leaving you groaning in frustration, eyes blown black with lust. You hopped off of the counter, practically running to your trailer. You couldn't be more glad that this was it for today. You all but ripped off the clothes from you, standing under your shower. You needed to get release, and you needed it now.

After you were done, you put a towel around yourself, walking out only to find him laying on your bed with that shit eating grin on his face.

-You need to stop doing this Joseph. - you said as your eyes filled with tears. He shot up from your bed, pulling you into a hug as you started to cry.

-Jesus, I'm sorry sweetheart. I.. yesterday you said... fuck.. i'm so sorry. I thought you wanted it too. - he said as he caressed the back of your head, effectively keeping you from looking him in the eye.

-The worst thing is that i do want it.. i just.. i cant keep being my co-stars current little plaything.. i can't...

-You're not a plaything.. I genuenly want you.. not until we finish shooting, not only in front of the camera... I want to hold you (Y/n), i want to wash your hair for you when you're tired, i want to know your favourite food, and how you drink your café. I want to kiss every part of you that you love or hate. I want you...

-You... you want me? - you asked, finally being able to look up at him, but his arms never left you.

He cupped your cheeks, before looking you in the eye .

-I want you, only you. - he said before kissing you softly. It wasn't for the cameras, it was for you. Only you.

Anchor ~ Levi Ackerman

Warning: s4 pt2 + manga spoilers

The rumbling.

your last living memory with your friends and beloved, levi ackerman.

You decided to take it upon yourself to distract the collosal titans by obliterating them with your thunder spears but just like icarus, your determination and fascination for the titans are what caused your tragic end. You caught a glimpse of levi as you fell 50m from the sky due to agonizing burns from the titans. There was no possibility of your survival.

heartache, disbelief, regret were all etched on his face. he held his breath, it was as though your death cause his organ system to shut down, you were his heart and soul anyways.

Eldians won the war, no more titans to kill, no more pain, no more chaos.

but Levi changed,

He stopped making his favorite tea. He cut himself off from all his friends, always stayed at home wishing you were there to run your hands through his hair. wishing he could hear your angelic voice call to him again, always watching the door thinking you might walk in anytime. wishing, oh just wishing he gets to hold you again, to take in your familiar scent that he'd grown to love, to lay his head on your chest to hear the heart that he knew beat for only him. He missed you, so much.

levi ackerman cried, he cried every chance he was alone.

who would he go to when he had loads of paperwork and wanted some tea? when he had terrifying nightmares, who would lull him to sleep? who would cut his hair perfectly the way he wanted it?

who would put him first?

"you told me we'd keep two dogs when all this was over, you promised me. keep up your promise, you can't do this to me"

"please"

"come back"

he lamented your name like the chorus.

"please, I don't want to be alone"

"I miss you sweetheart"

"I love you" 

YOUR POV

"It's always so cold in here."

I heard Levi's voice and it returned me to his presence. The first time that happened after I died I didn't understand. What was the purpose of my return?

Then, I tried to get close.

"Hi levi" I said with tears in your eyes but I knew he couldn't hear me.

He would sit on the couch, wrapped in blankets, and go through our pictures from the picture album. He would cry, every night and my heart ached tremendously that I couldn't provide any comfort to my love. Every night he would fall asleep with his tear stained cheek against an image of my face.

One night, as he wrapped himself tighter in the blankets, I realised he was cold because of me. In my earthly form I provided him warmth and comfort, and now, I was a cold and bitter wind that chilled him to the bone.

I tried to leave, but something anchored me here.

I say something, but I know it was him.

He anchored me in life, and also in death. So I stayed as far away as I could, and slowly, he shed his blankets.

Day by day, Levi grew more resilient to my untimely demise.

He started with himself.

He exercised again, in the morning, and then made himself the perfectly brewed tea that he always liked. He learned how to drive the car and started going out with his friends on Saturday nights. He deep cleaned the house every two weeks too, humming to a tune that he heard on the radio.

He still cried but not as frequent.

It made me smile. He was getting better, a selfish part of me wanted him to never get over me, but thats stupid. Levi out of everyone deserves to be happy... and loved, even if its not me who can provide him that.

I sighed sadly, observing him from a distance.

Eventually he started sleeping without a picture of my face, and that's when I knew something had changed.

So I waited, and watched, and when a woman walked into his life, I was jealous.

This is why I was here. To protect him from the women who would not love him as I did. So I kept myself close to my enemies, and one-by-one they disappeared.

But so did the light in him. He was beginning to lose hope in everything.

Then she came.

She was patient with him, she understood his likes and dislikes, she understood his pain and suffering, understood just how strong and capable man levi is. Levi greq accustomed to her presence, he enjoyed it even. They shared the same taste in music and the love for tea. She was a clean freak too, they enjoyed cleaning with each other.

She complimented his eyes once and I could swear I saw them shine. The eyes that once held the same love for me were directed towards her now. It hurt but I was glad he is moving on.

I was aware of his attraction because she was cleaning his kitchen, and cooking his meals. She organised his closet and hung shelves for his knick-knacks. She learnt to brew the kind of tea that he liked. She would sing him songs to keep his nightmares away. She would cut his hair now, the way I used to. She was picking up around the house on a normal Tuesday afternoon, when a giggle escaped her lips and he smiled.

They exchanged pleasantries.

They went to the market together every weekend and he would pick out the earrings he thought suited her best. They would stop at the local bakery and she would always buy Levi his favorite cake and he would let her.

He loved her.

Their hands met briefly, once, on the kitchen counter. They were reaching for the paper towels at the same time, and it was palpable, the tension. I could see it, and I was no longer blind. He didn't need me anymore. Try as I might to persuade this suitor to go, she didn't. She was persistent, and she would hold him, and kiss him, just as gently and suddenly it dawned on me.

She loved him.

She loved him the way I had.

"The world is cruel but I still love you, Levi" I said with tears in my eyes.

That was the last time I saw his face.

[irish-urn]

Okay so you told me to go ahead with ramblings, which is so sweet btw. So buckle up, this is a long one.

Thank you for lowkey recommending Marianas Trench. I listened to their album Phantoms and it's so good! The first song I listened to by them was Eleonora (with earbuds in, and that made it /that/ much better) and it made my brain go brrrr.

-So Will I is so sweet and amazing and I totally see it as a wedding song. I'm not sure if I see it as THEE song for Dasey, but its definitely up there.

-Also your music taste is great

Now onto your beautiful new chapter.

-"Ain't it close to your curfew, Cinderella?" He KNOWS her so well and that's the perfect combo of teasing her and checking in on her.

-"Fuuuuck, what a day" Derek's the type to be "on" all the time when he's around people. And that must be exhausting sometimes.

-Thinking about Derek being protective over Casey, especially when shes drunk. And how even before the kiss happened she thought he would probably wanna walk her home, even though it's his party. Makes me think about him walking her home from previous parties. Would they walk so close that they would brush against each other? Or would either/both of them resolutely put their hands in their pockets just wishing they could reach out? And how awful he'd feel for her running out of the party, drunk, distressed, and alone. And how Derek might have to stay at the party after she leaves to keep up appearances and how miserable he would be trying to pretend everything was fine.

-The PHYSICALITY you bring to your them with small movements, like "narrowing her eyes at him" and "he makes an exaggerated frown" and "throat bobbing" all within a couple sentences just brings them to life

-"She straightens up, sitting a little taller" There's our nerd, excited and ready to share info

-"his eyes so bright, his smile so blinding" Not only is that beautiful, but I can picture it exactly and !!!

-Derek eventually (when everything calmed down) researching what stoning actually is and being horrified.

-Again, your imagery is perfection

-The way the thoughts flow, and intertwine with what's happening is just so !!!

-Also the way you write her thoughts and the spiral and the panic is so accurate

-Casey calling Derek "Der" is so !!!

-the DETAILS you include

-Derek being Captain is so special to me

-"Stop staring at your girlfriend" just says so much about how they act around each other

-"and how /dare/ he be the only reason she can breathe" I KNEW he would be a grounding force for her "it's not /fucking/ fair that he's the poison and the antidote" I saw your comment on ao3 talking about Poison and Wine and The Civil Wars and LISTEN not only did I immediately think about this song when I read that line, when we were talking about Dasey and music the other day I totally thought of it then too. So you & me = same page. Also reminds me of the lyrics "Cause all I need is on your lips/They're my enemy/They're my remedy" from 29 by Loïc Nottet

-He asks her if she's okay :( that's so cute

-Derek calling Casey "baby" almost instinctually. I feel like /I/ got hit by a 2×4

-Writing in Derek's panic too is just so special to me. And again, I saw your comment talking about how hes probably upset with himself and getting straight into that desperate fix-it /fix-it/ mode but still not wanting to just brush it aside because it was /coming/ and and and

- I may or may not want to HIT Flinn with a 2×4

- ANYWAY, as you can see, I have so many THOUGHTS and FEELINGS.

LET'S TALK MUSIC FOR TWO SECONDS before we jump back to Dasey and fics—

I was introduced to Marianas Trench via their Ever After album (and it's actually the only concert I've ever been to) which has some stand-out bouncy songs!! If you're an angsty person thought, I HIGHLY recommend "Lover Dearest", "One Love" (THIS ONE IS STARRED, OKAY???), and "Good to You" (one of their versions is a duet, and UGH). Phantoms is also an excellent album, and if you like satire, they do a song called "Pop Music 101" where they make fun of the music industry.

*rolls around in The Civil Wars for a bit* And I'm adding that song you recc'd to my list.

And I still haven't figured out Dasey's wedding song yet. I'm still searching for one that satisfies Casey's romantic dreams while allowing Derek to maintain his image. I *think* I know their first dance though.

(Was that spoilers? Oh well.)

I LOOOOOOOOVED YOUR THOUGHTS and if you want, I can go through each one of them and we can gush forever and forever about these two sappy, competitive idiots—

And I'm talking about the whole "baby" thing in another ask/answer, don't worry.

And, the crazy thing with these two is that sometimes I put a lot of thought into why they do/say what they do (like the "baby" thing, and their love languages), but a lot of times, they just ACT, and I'm just typing out whatever they're doing, and to see others' reactions is, like, I feel like I've been a good stenographer, if that makes sense. Like, I did my job. So thank you so so much for distracting me at work and making me giggle at my phone—

(And, again, I can totally talk about any of your points if you want us to start an insane feedback loop (I would be 100% okay with this).)

txt reacting to their idol partner getting hurt.

lol i havent taken a math class in 2 years and now im regretting not paying attention in math during my entire 4 years of highschool... im quite literally teaching myself skills i should have learned in middle school :) love it.

genre: slightly angst, mostly fluff.

warning: mentions of stage accidents, and reader gets hurt.

✧*:･ﾟyeonjun

he was watching your stage performance intently. it was once of the end of the year award shows so he of course knew how hard you and your group worked on your performances. but, once he saw your slip on the stage he immediately got up.

yeonjun in that moment wouldn't care who saw him, his main priority is you at the end of the day. he knew you didn't hit the floor hard but when he noticed you struggle to put weight on your right foot he knew he needed to check up on you.

surprisingly you kept it professional, finishing the song before hurrying to the back in tears from the pain coming from your ankle. there yeonjun was, ready to take your arm and carry you if you needed.

seeing you cry would break him considering you often kept your cool. he'd stay with you and tell someone to get medical so someone could help your ankle. while waiting he'd turn this terrifying moment into a very sweet moment.

he'd hold you close and wipe your tears as he whispered sweet nothings in your ear to distract you from the pain. he knew he couldn't do much but be there for you, and that is exactly what he chose to do.

✧*:･ﾟsoobin

off the bat he would be a nervous reck. he was probably at dance practice when his phone started going wild with calls and messages. he ignored them at first but once he glanced at his dcreen and realized something was going wrong with you he'd excuse himself and call you right away.

once he finds out what's going on, he'd tell the boys and staff that he has to leave to meet you where ever you were. you had a minor injury, like a fracture but he still wanted to make sure you were okay and that you knew he was there for you.

he wouldn't leave you alone no matter how much you insist the injury isn't bad. he'd probably say that if it was bad enough for someone to call him he should probably stick around to help, especially if your injury created a mobility issue for you.

but, just because he's helping you out doesnt mean you'll go without teasing. he loves teasing you, all the time and will tease you especially about this. he thinks it's funny that you hurt yourself after making sure you were okay because it was so in your usual clumsy nature to do so. this of course makes both of you fall into beautiful fits of giggles.

for the first time ever though, you get to see soobin so possessive and protective. he's usually not a jealous type or possessive at all but when after you're injured he wants to protect you from the world and make sure no one comes to close to you because they could possibly hurt you more.

✧*:･ﾟbeomgyu

beomgyu happened to step in on a photo shoot you were doing for an album that was coming up. he was in between schedules so he decided to pop in and cone see you. of course, in true beomgyu nature he made it known he was there which of course distracted you a tad bit and caused you to miss a step on the stairs in the set.

at first beomgyu couldn't help but laugh because of course you both always laughed at each other when you'd fall. but, once he noticed you weren't laughing but rather about to cry was when his eyes widened and the laughter stopped. he'd walk over to you, and yell to get the attention of your managers that you had been hurt.

he'd sit on the stairs with you and gently bring you to his embrace. part of him still wanted to make you smile despite the pursing pain coming from your left leg that was slowly bruising. so, any little touch he would give you, he would ask if it hurt which made you giggle.

beomgyu would probably pretend to get angry because you weren't taking him serious and attack your face with kisses. he knew it would make you laugh and feel loved all while waiting for the medics to come and look at your leg.

part of him knows that you fell because he was distracting you so he feels bad partly. he makes up for it though with getting you ice cream after the hospital visit and carrying you on his back instead of having you use crutches all the way back to your dorms.

✧*:･ﾟtaehyun

as the boyfriend that he is, taehyun went to watch your music show rehearsal because he knew he'd be back stage getting ready once the real thing started. he was cheering you on until the crew chose to test the stage fire works. they didn't notice that one of them was a little too close to your mark.

literally as soon as they went off, taehyun noticed how close the spark affect was to you and got up. he was kinda concerned but if you were fine he wasn't going to make a big deal. but, after the rehersal you calmly walked back stage before urging your manager to call medical.

taehyun didn't need to hear any of this to know something was wrong, he could tell something happened by just the look you gave him halfway through your dance, which made him rush back stage and go to you.

he'd rush and ask you to let him see what's wrong and no matter how much you refuse, he's gentle but insistent. when you finally show him, part of him is extremely angry with the staff setting up the stage affects. your right arm was burned pretty bad.

your boyfriend would sit you down and make you as comfortable as possible despite being livid that this happened. he'd tell you that it was okay to cry, you were seriously injured, and offered his shoulder for you to lay your head on as you both waited for the medical team to come in.

✧*:･ﾟhueningkai

like beomgyu, kai would laugh at your sudden stumble. he didn't think it was much of a big deal considering the both of you were known for being a clumsy couple. it wasn't until he saw your members help you up from the corner of his eye that kinda alerted him to things being a bit more complicated than normal.

he knew his managers would get upset if he went over to help you, so he was fighting the urge of getting up at first. there was obvious discomfort being shown on your face as you tried to make your way down the small steps to get to your team backstage. it was the hardest situation kai had been in.

it wasn't until taehyun, turned over and looked at him, almost as if non-verbally suggesting he should go and help you that he got up regardless of what people thought and picked you up. it was scary at first because some random person had lifted you off the ground from behind, but it wasn't long until you realized it was your boyfriend.

he would bring you back stage and sit you down on a chair, getting you water and probably something sweet to keep your mind off the pain while he looks for your management and the medical staff at the venue. although he would want to look calm you can tell his mind was running in circles frantically.

once he was sure medical was getting to you, he would come back and sit with you until they assured him you'd be okay. of course you tried to tell him to go back out there, but he wouldn't leave until he was sure you were okay.

How do you think Harry will react if someone made sexist/ misogynist comments to you??

tight leash

Protective!h for the win!!!

I normally don't write concepts like that, but I'm enjoying hehe

“I mean, every artist should have a pretty face by their side, am I right? Look at the Beatles, look at Rolling stones, they always had girls following them around like a lost puppy,” Howard said to Harry.

They were doing an interview for Harry’s upcoming albums, even though Harry absolutely did not want to be there he still had to attend because Jeff didn’t tell him beforehand. He was in a bad mood already.

The first reason for his anger was Jeff not telling him he was supposed to talk to Howard; the second was the intrusive and private question he was asking; the third was the way he was talking about Y/n as if she was nothing but his girlfriend.

“I don’t understand where you’re coming from, Howard, those girls back them were very supportive of their partners, just like my girlfriend supports my career, but that doesn’t mean that’s the only thing she’s worth of, and even if she just wanted to follow me and the crew during Tour it would still be none of yours or anyone’s business .”

“You are a very modern thinker Harry, but it still doesn’t change the fact that you are a lucky guy, having that beauty as your girl is really something that a lot of men would be envious of.” Harry tightened his fist, it was like Howard didn’t get how annoyed Harry was, the old man was talking shit as if it was the most common thing in the world.

“I’m lucky to be Y/n’s partner because she is kind, smart, and the sweetest person I know, and yeah, she is pretty, but her beauty isn’t what makes me proud to be her boyfriend, her gentle heart and hardworking personality is, now if we could move on from this question I would be very happy.”

Harry didn’t want to be short or cause a scene. He was media trained, he knew how to deal with the inconvenient questions, but he just couldn’t put on a fake smile when the topic of the conversation was about Y/n. She wasn’t famous, she wasn’t used to having people talking about her on radio stations, and of course, she didn’t deserve to hear such disgusting comments coming from Howard.

When the interview was over Harry said goodbye to the crew, heading straight to his car to get home, he tried calling Y/n, he wanted to see if she was upset by what Howard said, but she didn’t pick up.

He was already preparing a whole round of apologies in his head, getting ready to meet a very angry girl, but the view he found on the couch when he got home was very different. Y/n was reading a book, wearing only an old t-shirt, she seemed very unbothered.

Maybe she was giving him the silent treatment? She had all the right to do so.

“Hey baby,” Harry said in a high pitch tone, one he wasn’t proud of. “Look, I’m so so sorry for what that man said, I swear I didn’t know the questions he was going to ask and-”

“Harry, damn, calm down!” the girl said, putting her book down. “You scared me, I didn’t realize you were home.” She made grabby hands, wanting him to sit down by her side, which he did.

He kissed her head, snuggling to her side. “I know you listened to the interview, and Howard is a prick, the things he says are disgusting, so please don’t let it get to you.”

“Don’t worry, H. I was a bit upset by the whole following around like a puppy, but his comments mean nothing to me, he doesn’t know anything about our relationship, and will never learn how to be respectful with others.” She kissed his jaw softly, trying to show him she wasn’t upset.

“Oh good, I was so worried about you, I don’t ever want you to think I would belittle you in any way, you are my darling,” Harry took his hand and began playing with the engagement ring he gave her three days ago, no one in the media knew about it, it was their little secret. “Also, if anything, you are the one who got me on a tight leash, right?”

Y/n moved on top of his body, straddling him. His lips met his neck, which he so obediently turned to the side to give her more space. “Good thing you know, baby.”

Title- 'To win her back'

A part two to this request

a part three - ????

Warnings: Angst, Fluff, Protective Mikaelsons

You were surprisingly happy after a good cry when the Mikaelsons left. You thought over Elijah's words wondering if you could truly forgive them. You stood huffing as Ryan rush to your side worry written over his face.

"You okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine I am just tired." You tell him as Ryan smiled softly taking you to bed. Marcel thought it would be a good time to visit you a month after your lovers found you.

"So all that is from them?" Marcel asked taking the cup of tea from you as you sat down looking at the boxes. Since the Originals found you and did as you asked it didn't stop them from sending gifts and things for your baby. Rebekah sent baby clothes, Kol sent toys, Klaus would send paintings he did while Elijah began paying your bills not trusting Ryan to keep you living comfortable.

"Yes. Their way of apologizing, showering me with gifts." You said having not open any of them though you couldn't stop Elijah from paying the bills.

"How is the little guy?"

"Heathly, him and his twin brother." You tell your best friend watching him light up touching your belly smiling.

"Wow twins. That amazing."

"It is....how are they?" You couldn't help but ask as Marcel leaned back thinking how things were back in New Orleans. Things were tense between the Mikaelsons and Hayley as they blamed themselves for you leaving and Hayley was trying to get them to let you go.

"Well they are tensed with Hayley and a little jealous that you let Freya visit." Marcel tells you as you sighed it was true you only allowed Freya to come up to see you so the only way your lovers knew that you were okay was though her and Marcel.

"Tense with Hayley? Why?"

"Well other than blaming themselves for you leaving, they also blame Hayley." Marcel says as you thought over what he said. You knew from what Freya told how they were doing Klaus dosen't really leave his art studio, Rebekah and Kol sleeps in your bedroom and Elijah ignores Hayley spending his time looking though your photo album.

"I see. Well I got a doctor's appointment."

"Right. See you again soon." Marcel said hugging you walking out with you.

"Yeah Mar."

You huffed feeling annoyed seeing dozen red roses on your door and picked the box. You reading the card seeing it was from Kol and you put the roses in a vase while doing so you noticed two empty glasses of wine.

"What the?" You muttered walking seeing pair of women panties that you knew wasn't yours. You realize what was happening as you marched to the the bedroom finding Ryan in bed with his secretary.

"RYAN! Are you fucking kidding me!" You shouted surprising the lawyer and his secretary. You eyes narrowed seeing the gorgeous necklace around the woman's necklace and realized it was one that Rebekah sent as an apology.

"Gifting her my jewelry?!" You shouted at him throwing a picture frame at him as the secretary ylep.

"Baby listen it was an accident."

"An accident?! Get the fuck out of my home and you take my jewelry off!"

"Baby! I'll be out on the street!" Ryan said giving you a puppy dog look as the secretary scrabble to take the jewelry off and got dress. You crossed your arms glaring at Ryan who look pathetic pleading for you to not throw him out.

Elijah was walking down stairs knowing how quiet it was with Klaus up in his art studio, Kol spending all his time with Freya and Rebekah had yet to really leave your bedroom. Hayley came in stopping seeing Elijah and made an attempt to talk to the Original as he had been cold to everyone that wasn't family.

"Elijah, you can't keep ignoring me."

"What do want me to do Hayley? Come running to you? Seek comfort from the one thing that reminds me of the pain I cause to the woman I truly loved?"

"Wow. I hope you say it to her face." Elijah looked up seeing you standing there with a baby sling that held twins. Elijah's breathing hitched finding you just gorgeous dressed in a long sundress hair cut short.

"Y/N?" Elijah whispered finding it hard to believe you were standing there as Rebekah had heard Elijah say your name with Klaus and Kol.

"You guys act like you have seen a ghost." You teased as Rebekah reached you first worried you'll pull away but was glad you let her hug you.

"Are you back for good?"

"I sure hope so because I didn't drive a truck load of stuff for nothing." You said noticing how nervous they were around you as if it was your first night with them all over again.

"You came back to us." Elijah said watching you being lead to the den by Rebekah. They followed after as you frowned noticing the dust on things as you took a good look at your lovers.

Marcel and Freya wasn't kidding when they told you that the others weren't doing well. Each of them looked as if they weren't really feeding, Elijah wasn't dressed in a clean suit, Rebekah looked a bit duller, Klaus looked scruffy with paint on his clothes and Kol was just as dull as Rebekah.

"Well I thought seven months in your mistake was enough." You say sitting down with Rebekah sitting next to you. They looked seeing the twin boys that was asleep.

"So you came back to throw it their faces that you are happier."

"No Hayley. Truthfully I missed you all so I came home it would be unfair to keep Oilver and Henrik from their family." You said as they stared and Elijah swallowed walking over kneeling letting Kol take the other side of you and Klaus stood behind you.

"You named one of our boys after our little brother?"

"Yeah to honor Henrik." You say softly letting them get a better look at the sleeping boys. Hayley crossed her arms staring at you.

"So what hoping to move back in like nothing happened?"

"No. I bought the town house across the street. I forgive them but I am not ready to move back in." You tell Hayley as Oliver woke whining getting your attention. You had Rebekah take a still sleeping Henrik as you fed Oilver.

"How old are they?"

"A month in a half." You answered Kol watching Oliver latch onto you to eat. Elijah was in awe staring at his sons noticed how much Oliver and Henrik looked like him but he was glad they had your nose.

"Baby, as much as we would love for you move back in if there was one thing we learned was. Let you do what you need."

"I am not going to keep the boys from you all unlike some people but I need time before we jump back into this."

"Take all the time you need love. We can wait a thousand years if needed." Klaus says softly rubbing your shoulders. They were happy you let them touch you and was every willing to go as slow as you wanted.

"You want to hold him, Elijah?" You asked when Oilver was done and Kol fix you up. Elijah held his arms out as you placed the wake Oilver in his arms.

"Henrik is smaller than his brother." Rebekah said handing you the sleeping baby as you smiled softly.

"There was a bit of trouble during childbirth. I mean Hen is heathly he'll be fine." You tell them noticing the worry on their faces.

"Are you guys really okay with her just coming back?! After all the pain she put you all in?" Hayley walking in as you stood up getting the twins comfortable in the sling.

"Clearly you guys need to work things out with Hayley. I'll be across the street." You said walking out missing the glares the Mikaelsons gave Hayley. Marcel helped you bring your things inside with Josh and Davina.

"They are cute." Davina said watching over Henrik and Oilver who were wake in baby swings. You smiled opening boxes looking at your boys.

"Yeah they sure got the cute Mikaelson baby genes." You tell Davina as Josh and Marcel brought in the last of the boxes.

"I'm glad you're back. Me and Josh missed you."

"You guys could have visited with Marcel."

"Yeah but someone had to make sure the Mikaelsons take care of themselves."

"Was it really that bad?" You asked looking at them as Davina sighed.

"I am not going to lie to you. Yes it was Y/N, they were a mess. Marcel had to watch over the city."

"Hell they barely let Hayley in the Abattoir unless she was dropping Hope off." Josh tells you as you looked out the window looking across the way staring at the Abattoir.

"Freya never told me how bad it was."

"Because we agreed that you should come back home on your own not because of guilt." Marcel tells you as you looked at them while you were glad that they wanted you to come back on your own. You wished they told you how they really were doing.

Later that evening Klaus stopped by with Elijah and you let them in as they noticed you were in one of Klaus's old shirts and sweatpants.

"Unpacking love?"

"Yeah if you guys didn't send so much I wouldn't be still unpacking." You tease lightly as Klaus smirked while Elijah knelt down in front of the boys. Oliver was reaching for Elijah's hand and he let the boy grab his hand.

"Where is Kol and Rebekah?"

"Getting you dinner." Klaus said moving to help you unpack while Elijah was playing with boys.

"Where is Ryan?"

"Back in New York. Caught him sleeping with his secretary."

"Sorry to hear the love." Klaus says rubbing your back as you chuckled leaning into him.

"It's okay. Ryan wasn't you guys...he didn't have that same warmth."

"We brought food my beautiful righteous Queen." Kol said making you laugh which made the babies laugh. The Mikaelsons were happy to hear your laughter again and this time they were going to do their best to be sure you felt loved as they weren't going to let you go this time.

nct dream reaction: them getting jealous when you are getting closer to another member

okay trust me, i’m writing some new fics, i just finished this first so here it is 

mark:

i feel like he is the type of have A LOT of trust in his partner - without trust, he wouldn’t even be in a relationship with someone

he wouldn’t mind you having other guy friends, just as long as you were clear about your relationship with them

he knew that you and renjun were friends prior to your relationship

so naturally, he was aware that you guys were already close

but whenever he saw renjun lean in closer towards you whenever you were talking

or whispering small inside jokes into your ear

he couldn’t help but feel annoyed?

of course he trusted you, and he trusted renjun

but the sight of you two being so close made him feel uneasy

so he would opt to leave the room, not wanting to do or say anything he would regret

as i mentioned, he has a lot of trust in his partner, he wouldn’t want them to not trust him in return

you would run after mark the moment you heard the door close behind him

you approached him cautiously, your fingers softly tapping his shoulder

“hey, are you okay? did i say something?”

“no you didn’t say or do anything at all. it’s just me” he shrugged, fuelling your concern

“what’s up? you know you can tell me” mark begins to feel slightly embarrassed at this point

“i-i was jealous of you and renjun, okay? i know it’s silly” it caught you off guard, you never really saw mark as the jealous type

but this only meant that he really liked you

you shook your head playfully, wrapping your arms around his torso, smiling into his chest

“it’s not silly, you can tell me how you feel. i actually prefer it, rather than you leaving and staying quiet, you know?” mark just nods, his hand rubbing your back softly

he was so lucky to have someone like you in his life, everything felt complete

renjun:

hmm i have some mixed feelings about how he would react

i feel like he would go for someone who is independent and has their own strong personality

basically he would prefer a partner that isn’t too dependent on him, you know?

but when he sees how social / close you’ve become with jaemin, he’s about to lose it completely

jaemin was naturally flirty, and you were naturally enticing to be around

that mix was not a good look in renjun’s eyes

he wanted nothing more than to pry you away from his friend

but he didn’t want to be labelled as the ‘possessive’ or ‘overbearing’ boyfriend

you would always shift your eyes to make contact with renjun’s, assuring him that you were still paying attention to him

but it still wasn’t enough for him to stop feeling jealous

once jaemin laid his hand on your shoulder and moved closer to you (a little too close to comfort for renjun) — he snapped

renjun would excuse the both of you, pulling you along with him out of the room

“i-i don’t like jaemin touching you like that”

you found it slightly amusing that he was jealous. of course you took it as a friendly touch, but you understood how it looked to renjun

“that’s just how he is. you’re the only one i want to hold hands with” you link your hands with his tightly

he starts to go quiet

“and you’re the only one i want to kiss” you peck his cheek gently “like this”

renjun felt his cheeks heat up from the touch, immediately feeling shy infront of you

“o-okay, i just got jealous, that’s all” he pouted

“i know, and that’s okay! just remember that i’m all yours, and only yours, okay?”

jeno:

very very protective

makes it clear that he can get jealous but you had never seen it first hand

so when he saw you laugh a bit too hard at one of haechan’s jokes, he felt his heart slightly ache

‘i’m not as funny as haechan’

‘they looks so much happier with him’ he would think to himself

despite his tough exterior, jeno had a lot of insecurities inside

he doesn’t think he has ever seen you laugh that hard at one of his jokes before

so he starts to get quiet, distracting himself with his phone

suddenly the laugher stops as you make you way to sit down next to your boyfriend

he honestly would be a bit petty at first, only responding with one word answers, until haechan calls him out

“dude, get off your phone and talk to your partner”

“dude, how about you stop flirting with my partner then?” jeno grunts, causing the whole room to go quiet.

you felt so embarrassed, apologising to haechan quietly before dragging jeno away from the group

“what was that? it wasn’t cool, you have to apologise to him!” you folded your arms, not comprehending how jeno was feeling

“what? i’m not apologising. you obviously enjoyed his flirting!”

“jeno, you’re being quite unreasonable right now. it was just some harmless jokes, nothing more” you tried to reassure him

he knew you were right, but he was stubborn at times

“look at me” you brought his face between your palms

“go and apologise to haechan, and then we can go home and cuddle, and also have a deep talk about all of this. sound good?” you suggested

jeno nodded, placing a soft kiss to your forehead

he was whipped for you, this only solidified how he truly felt

haechan:

oh the pettiest of them all

would make it known he was NOT happy with you leaning in so close to mark

you were at a formal function for the celebration of their new album dropping

a lot of people attended, meaning you had to lean in closer than usual just to hear someone speak

haechan couldn’t hide his jealousy when you slapped mark’s shoulder playfully

“jeez, stop shooting holes into mark’s head!” jaemin joked, causing haechan to start glaring at him

renjun tried his best to call down the heated boy

“you know mark wouldn’t ever try anything, don’t get it all twisted in your head, alright?”  

haechan just nodded, he knew renjun was just speaking facts

you eventually went to seek out your boyfriend, catching him by the drinks table

“hey, where have you been? i was looking everywhere for you”

“clearly not everywhere”

that caught you off guard

“excuse me? what’s your deal?”

haechan sighs at you, knowing that he shouldn’t have been snappy towards you

“let’s just not make it a bigger deal than it is, i was just jealous of how close you and mark were tonight. you barely talked to me, that’s all” he tried to shrug it off, but you knew him better than that

you placed a firm squeeze to your boyfriend’s shoulder

“if it upset you so much, you know you could have just talked to me? i would never intentionally ignore you like that, i was just so excited for tonight”

haechan nods, pulling you to his side slowly, his arm latched to your waist

“i know and i’m sorry, would you care to dance?” he slightly bit the side of his lip as you nodded enthusiastically

“of course i would” you would drag him to the dance floor as you swayed along to a random ballad playing through the speakers

the rest of the night was full of laughter and smiles once haechan realised he was worried for no damn reason

jaemin:

i see him as someone who can get easily jealous

if another guy even looked at you the wrong way, jaemin has his eyes on them

i feel like he does have self control tho and would choose to not act upon his jealousy

but one day he just snapped

you were playing video games with jeno while you were waiting for jaemin to come home

it wasn’t unusual for you to do so

but one time you didn’t greet jaemin when he came through the door because you were too engrossed in the game

he wouldn’t say anything at first, understanding that you just wanted to beat jeno’s ass

so he makes himself a sandwich before sitting down on the couch with you, pulling you to his side

you slightly shrug him off,

“hey, let me finish this round” you don’t even look at him, which made jeno chuckle

jaemin glared at his friend, but was still in shock by your reaction

“jaem, they’re good at this game, have you been teaching them?” jeno nudges you gently as he continued to play

jaemin was beyond pissed at this point

not only was his significant other ignoring him but his friend was sitting a little too close for his liking

he tries to grab your attention again, tugging on the sleeve of your hoodie, pressing his cheek to your shoulder

“baby, i missed you” he whispered in your ear, distracting you from the game, making you lose the round

“jaem, look what you did now!” you pout, turning to face him

jeno sensed there was tension and quickly scurried off to his own room

“i’m sorry i ruined your SUPER fun game with jeno” he scoffed

“oh please, you know we are just friends. the ONE time i don’t give you an ounce of attention, you wanna act up huh?”

jaemin was now pouting, fiddling with the sleeves of his sweater

you let out a sigh before moving to sit closer to him, leaning your head on his shoulder

“i’m sorry, i was just getting jealous of how close you guys are now, i want you to play games with me instead! i can teach you everything he can!”

you shook your head before linking your fingers with his

“i know you can, how about tomorrow? the whole day will be just for you and me!” jaemin’s eyes gleamed at the thought, attacking you with hugs and kisses

‘well that was easier than expected’ you thought to yourself

chenle:

seems like the jealous type

idk i get them vibes ya know?

let’s say you invited jisung to go shopping with you while chenle had a different schedule

at first, he’d be like ‘oh yeah go for it!’ bc well, it was just jisung

he had nothing to be worried about

but once he saw you post multiple stories on instagram of yours and jisung’s day out, he couldn’t help but be filled with rage

from eating cute cafe desserts, to buying plushies and even going to the arcade together

chenle was upset to say the least

not only did he miss out on spending time with you, he felt you were slowly replacing him with his best friend

but of course that was the furthest thing from the truth

the tipping point was when jisung posted a mirror selfie of the two of you wearing matching bucket hats

chenle felt his heart ACHE

when you both returned to the dorms, chenle immediately snatched you away, refusing to even greet jisung

jisung stood there like 🧍🏻

anyways chenle would drag you to his room, shutting the door quickly

you were so mf confused

“be honest, do you like jisung more than me?”

you were flabbergasted, was he on crack?

“what? where is this coming from? of course i don’t like him more than you!”

chenle allowed himself to calm down before continuing, shouting wasn’t going to get him anywhere

“well then why did you do so many fun things with him today? you even got matching hats!” he frowned, folding his arms

“we were just hanging out as friends! i promise. and we actually bought you a hat too! i wanted us to all be matching, since we were like a trio. i didn’t know that upset you”

he felt like a complete idiot

“n-no i’m sorry i assumed things, please don’t hate me” chenle pulled you into his chest

“i could never hate you, even if i tried” you sighed, wrapping your arms around his torso

jisung:

oh boy

he’s the silent type,, he would want to avoid any awkward confrontation at all costs

he would bottle up his jealousy until one day he just explodes

i feel like jisung needs a lot of reassurance if he was in a relationship

he didn’t like the sinking feeling in his stomach whenever he saw you and chenle together

things such as playful hits to the shoulder or chest, loud laughter and friendly compliments were seen as subtle flirtations to jisung

you would always try your best to include jisung in your inside jokes with chenle but he’d always shrug it off

“nah it’s just a thing between you two”

comments like those, rubbed you the wrong way and you could tell chenle was slightly bothered too

each time you tried to ask jisung about it, he’d brush it off

“i don’t know what you’re talking about”

“are you sure? because you were kind of being cold to us, don’t you think?”

“doesn’t feel nice when you’re excluded, does it?” you were beyond confused

“can you please talk to me about what’s going on? i don’t like seeing you like this” you pull jisung to across from you on his bed

he avoided your eyes at all costs, fiddling with his rabbit plushie

“i’m jealous” he mumbled

“come again?”

“IM JEALOUS OKAY?” he threw his hands in the air hysterically, catching you off guard

“sometimes i don’t like how close you are with chenle. it seems like you are closer to him than me! i want to make you laugh like that, and i want to buy you nice things. and i want you to hit me playfully”

you listened closely to each concern

you brought your hand to enclose his, placing a soft kiss to his knuckles

“jisung, you’re the only person in this world that makes me laugh so hard that my ribs hurt. buying me nice things won’t change how i already feel towards you. and we can definitely try to be more playful with eachother” you started running your hands through his hair as he slowly shuffled closer to you

“t-thankyou, it’s nice to get it off my chest”

“of course, you have nothing to worry about” you placed a kiss to his forehead as you both spent the night cuddling

[dreamkidddream]

I absolutely loved the doll! mc one with the brothers and diavolo. Could I ask for the same idea with the rest of the undateables and luke? If it isn't too much though. Thank you very much, don't forget to take care of yourself and stay hydrated!

I’m glad you enjoyed the first part!! I hope you’re staying safe through this pandemic and that you’re drinking plenty of water. I’m so happy that people liked the Doll!MC scenario so much (it even became one of my top posts and I was NEVER expecting that to happen 😳 click here to read it with the Bros and Diavolo). I got an UR card for Barbatos today and immediately thought back to this scenario cause I was just imagining the different situations with Doll!MC. Hope you enjoy!

Also, Luke’s part is strictly platonic, just FYI!

The Undateables (Minus Diavolo) with Doll!MC

Barbatos

Let me just say, you make this man’s day so much better

Your presence is just so calming for him. You could just be standing there (which is heavily enforced in the kitchen), not doing anything, and he would still be fully relaxed

Definitely loves you being in the kitchen with him, and will find ways to invite you so that you guys can spend time together

“MC, the young master has a tea party planned for this afternoon, and I’m afraid I may need your assistance to help prepare.”

“But Barb, I thought you didn’t want me touching anything-”

“I don’t want you touching anything that can cause you harm. I can easily handle the labor, but I do have a task for you...”

Cue to you sitting perfectly still and taste testing his sweets

“Barb, are you sure that I’m helping you like this? I don’t want to be useless to you!”

“Nonsense, MC. This is perfect. I needed someone with an exceptional palette, and you’re just the right person for me.”

Just you and him, and his sweet creations. What more could he ask for?

Maybe being in a relationship with you, but he is very sure that it’s going to be happening in the near future...and he didn’t even have to use his powers to know that

He stares at you a lot. He can’t help it, he loves to just admire you!

Barbatos is the type of guy where he doesn’t have to rely on words to express his love. His love language is acts of service: packing you lunch and extra sweets every week, giving you recipes that he wouldn’t even share with Luke, and gifting you mini accessories that you can wear with your outfits!

He gave you this adorable three-legged crow holding a cupcake hairpin and you’ve been wearing it ever since

He tries to hide his blush everytime he sees you and now he has to work even harder because of the pin lmao

HAVING YOUR OWN TEA PARTIES WEEKLY

You both have a designated day and time where you don’t plan anything in order to have your own tea parties

No Diavolo, no noisy demon brothers, no other exchange students (sorry Luke). Just you and him, enjoying each other’s company and him basking in your glow

If someone did try to harm you, he would already know of it and properly disposes of the problem. Lord Diavolo can’t afford to have any issues interfering with the exchange program, and he can’t afford to have anything happen to you so...no harm no foul, right?

Please continue to do what you’re doing MC. Stare at him with your bright, doe eyes and give him that lively smile everytime. It makes his day go by much easier, especially since he knows that you’ll still be there, waiting for him with your own desserts and that smile reserved just for him

Simeon

Was convinced that you were an angel

Lowkey still convinced that you’re an angel

Really, you just look so...angelic

Wasn’t upset when you revealed that you were in fact human; he was happy because this meant that he could show you around the Celestial Realm!

Speaking of Celestial Realm, be prepared for Simeon to be your very own personal tour guide everytime. This could be your 50th time up there and he’ll still try to point new things out

“And over here is-”

“Michael’s favorite resting place, since the lilies always seem to bloom whenever he’s around,” you giggled. “I remember Simeon, you tell me this everytime we visit!”

He’s a tad embarrassed

“Forgive me, MC. It seems that I get so elated over the fact that you’re here with me, I tend to repeat some things over.”

“That’s okay! I still have fun with you everytime!”

Oh MC, you’re too adorable!

Which causes him to worry over you. While he knows that the brothers and Diavolo (along with Barbatos) wouldn’t dare cause you any distress, the same couldn’t be said for the other demons lurking around, both in and out of RAD

But not to fear, Simeon your friendly guardian angel is here!

I am so sorry for the rhyme lmao

He may not have been personally assigned to you, but that doesn’t mean he can just let anything happen to you! He’s only doing his heavenly duties in protecting you! He’s also being a good friend by watching over you too, his little lamb

He wouldn’t attack anyone, but if he made a complaint or a very serious concern to the right person (Lucifer or Diavolo), consider the problem handled

You have your own tea time as well, and Luke would join you sometimes. But, every now and then, Luke would have to finish some homework or study, or Barbatos would miraculously call for him at the castle, or if it was just too late and Luke just had to go to sleep, then it would just be you two. Sitting by the fireplace, discussing matters ranging from RAD to your life in the human world, drinking tea that you would take turns preparing

Not to mention the downright dainty little cakes you would bring. One time you brought him angel cakes and he found so lighthearted and precious that he requested you bring them everytime, just for him

May or may not base a character in his new story around you

Simeon wants to shield you from the horrors that are surrounding you both. You’re so pure, he just wants you safe. From the way that you would dress to the way that your eyes would just look so amazed and innocent at him, he just knows that he needs to watch over you, always. The brothers do get a little wary when they see how much time you do spend at Purgatory Hall, but they know that Simeon couldn’t possibly have feelings for you, and you were always so giddy after leaving there, they couldn’t bring themselves to say anything

And Simeon knew that he was starting to feel more than he should. He couldn’t profess his love for you now in risk of falling, but he can wait until you get your wings. Just imagining you in your cute little Ceslestial Realm outfit (which he hopes still mimicked your current style) with your very own beaming halo was enough to keep him waiting and to make sure that you stayed on the right path

He deemed that you were worth the wait

Luke

BFFs! BFFs!

When he first saw you he could just cry

Someone innocent like you got sent down here with these monsters?! He had to keep you safe!!!

Simeon thought you were angel and then realized that you were not; Luke thought you were an angel and refused to believe that you weren’t

You didn’t have it in you to burst his bubble so soon, so you just let him run with it until Simon broke the news

It was like telling a kid that Santa Claus wasn’t real; you can only imagine how Luke took the revelation

Not well from what Solomon told you. Simeon kept saying he just needs some time to process things, and you just felt so awful about the whole thing

Which lead to you bringing him so much sweets that it made Beel jealous and very upset

But we all know how Beel can be around food, so it wasn’t a huge surprise. He chased you around all day and you had to use your pact to get him to stop!

And you promised to make him double the sweets in he forgave you so all is well

Luke was still obviously sad, but he wasn’t going to stay sad forever. Especially not after you brought this many sweets just for him!

Lucifer was not a happy demon when Simeon arrived at the HoL’s doorstep with you groaning and clutching your stomach. And Solomon took so many pictures of Luke while he passed out from his sugar high that he dedicated a whole album in his phone to it

Favorite activity to do together: Baking! (Obviously)

Trading recipes, shopping for ingredients together, baking things for each other to try (where really it was just to have double the desserts)

When you two are in the kitchen together, no one else is allowed (except for Simeon, but only if he’s looking and not touching). It’s now MC and Luke time, everybody else is gonna have to wait!

Luke only wants you to do the the activities that he sees as harmless: which is everything that doesn’t include sharp items and anything else that can hurt you

“MC get away from that! That can seriously hurt you! Let me get it for you instead!

“Luke, honey, it’s just an oven it’s not my first time using one-”

Too late, he already took it out of your hands into his own, mitts already on

Speaking of oven mitts

You guys have matching aprons and mitts!!

Barbatos may be a little bit jealous, but he likes the bond that you two have. And he knows that Luke won’t be a romantic rival so he’s alright lol

Luke is your deemed protector/bodyguard, and he proudly wears the title since no one bothers you because of him (or so he thinks). Everyone makes fun of him calling him a chihuahua, but jokes on him, when Luke complains, he complains

Won’t take long for Simeon or even one of the brothers to pick up on his whines complaints if he thinks someone is bothering you

Luke believes that while he’s small, he can protect you and try to keep you free from danger. He may be young, but he sees himself as the older brother out of you both (even though it’s really you being the older sibling and him being the baby). Always looking out for you especially since you’re too fragile to be left alone!

You’re one of the only people that genuinely likes him and don’t make fun of him. You’re dear to him MC, please don’t ever change!

Also, he definitely talks to Michael about you all the time so excitedly and sends him sweets that you both made together. Michael is a proud dad at this point

Solomon

Knew you wasn’t a doll but loved to tease you about being one anyway

Was there a spell that can really turn you into a doll? You wouldn’t mind if he tried it out on you, right MC?

Don’t tempt him please because he WILL do it

“Tell me, MC. Hypothetically speaking, if I were to purchase-”

“No Solomon, you can’t shrink me down to fit me into a dollhouse, no matter how nice it sounds. Besides, I can’t bake in a dollhouse, the oven wouldn’t work!”

“I can fix that.”

You’re very amusing to him for some reason. Was it because of how doll-like you are? The fairytale way that you dressed? How you were still human and was able to live with seven of the most powerful demons and not die? Maybe it’s the way that you still radiated such positivity despite being in literal Hell?

Honestly all of the above

TEACHING HIM HOW TO COOK/BAKE

Poor Solomon doesn’t realize that his cooking isn’t...the best

And you took the best approach in helping him atleast cook something that looks edible

You didn’t say his cooking was disgusting like some people (literally everyone else), so he took that you giving him lessons was a date of sorts

He wasn’t complaining. Your time spent in the kitchen was scenes straight of a romcom (no matter how cheesy it sounds); his arms wrapped around your waist and dotting icing on your pretty nose

May or may not have licked some icing off of you at one point, will definitely do it again

Solomon is a very confident man, borderline arrogant (Oh who am I kidding he IS arrogant). So yes, while people may see you as an easy target, he’s here to remind them that you’re not. And that if they want to try, chances are they won’t be walking away in one piece

He’s powerful, too powerful in fact. He may not be the strongest physically, but if even the entire student council recognizes his knowledge and what he’s capable of, no one should be dumb enough to test him (keyword: try)

But he wouldn’t mind showing off if it’s for you

You’re one of the only beings to ever peak Solomon’s interest genuinely. Yes, he loved to tease and bug you whenever he pleased, but you also made him want to come around you more and more. He was drawn to you, and that doesn’t happen a lot with him (at least without ulterior motives)

*coughcough* making pacts *coughcough*

You were the only thing that made Solomon feel weak, but that wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. Don’t get him wrong, he’s still The Greatest Sorcerer, but he couldn’t help but feel himself get weak in the knees when you gazed at him with so much sincerity. He loves it and loves you

Once your back in the human world, he’s going to be so selfish with you. I mean, he already kinda was now, but this time there won’t be any interruptions or distractions around to take your attention

Us humans have to stick together, and what better way to stick together than to be together, wouldn’t you say MC?
