its you, it always has been you
summary: it was right then and there that he knew, he had fallen in love recent works: don't lose me, not yet & stay with me (leona kingscholar x gn!reader) & heartslabyul with a furina-like female reader!
Tumblr media
* ˚ ✦ you're always on my mind, even out of sight: he always wonder when did it actually start? sometimes in the middle of the day, his thoughts would randomly travel back to you - are you taking care of yourself? oh look, he found a patch of (favorite flowers) in the hidden area of the botanical garden + wondering if you would like it if he give you a bouquet 💐 everything reminds you of him and he is getting frustrated why does everything goes back to you until he saw you from the distance admiring the sunset with grim and that is when he knew "no wonder you're always on my mind, even when you're out of sight' (girl i was wondering why it sounds familiar it's doppio's debut line) 🤍
— riddle rosehearts, cater diamond, LEONA KINGSCHOLAR, azul ashengrotto, vil schoenheit
* ˚ ✦ the world looks so dull without you: at first, it was not really noticeable but when you start to get busier day by day, his world gradually lost it's color (not literally) he didn't know why but there was something very important missing and yet he try to distract himself + thinking everything will go back to normal → he was so wrong and everything felt wrong 🤬 he tried going back to the root of all this and he noticed that everything happened when you spend less and less time with him so he tried the theory out and went out to see you and voila !! it was like he was feeling everything at once and the realization sink in + not spending another minute to waste and went on to spend time with you with his heart so full and beating rapidly against his chest from joy 🤩
— ACE TRAPPOLA, ruggie bucchi, floyd leech, kalim al asim, rook hunt, idia shroud, silver
* ˚ ✦ i can't imagine you with someone else: he doesn't like the feeling he gets when you get close with others and he hated himself for that 😿 it's an ugly feeling to have and he treats you as a friend + he has no reason to feel selfish right? they tried hiding it to themselves yet to no one's surprised - the more they bury the thought the more it grew and they finally come to terms with it when he realized it's not that he doesn't want you to have other friends, but he can't imagine you being in a relationship with someone else. he know that he is not the perfect person you want to have but won't you give him just one chance? 🥺
— deuce spade, trey clover, jack howl, jade leech, epel felmier, SEBEK ZIGVOLT
* ˚ ✦ all of the above in order: this man will go stages of grief for aloooong time i tell you 😭 their first stage is thinking about you all the time along with denial → they may be too smart for their own good but really dumb when it comes to acknowledging their own feelings 🧍🏻‍♀️second stage ofc they would realize the empty space you left behind temporarily and how their world seems to be incomplete + like the colors just vanished in thin air and they would start to recognize the fact that maybe it's okay to have feelings for you? nothing is stoping them from admiring you right? 🧐 but no is still no! maybe you are just close friends and he misses your company that's all! 👩🏻‍⚖️ third one is the same → they believe some people do not deserve your attention at all and made them very sad at one point because they can't stand the image of you with someone else 😔 last stage is acceptance and it just came on a random day of you two hanging out - hearing your usual stories and laughter light a bulb inside of his head and he finally accepted the fact that he had already fallen in love with you. 🫵

Some TMNT07 miscellaneous HEADCANONS THAT I LIKE TO THINK OF
This ends up a bit long. Also, english is not my mothertounge language so, there may be errors of grammars here and there.
Anyway, Some of prev hc of 07!turtles are here. Some of them may be ooc so just look away from this post. I just think that they deserve to be goofy
Leo
Tumblr media
While he is the ghost of the jungle, he has his own fair share encounter of ghosts as well. Many of them caused him to get a fever the next morning.
One of the 'encounters' is him accidentally called out for it, other times is chase it, other time is that he picked an unusual stench(he should've ignored it) and questions it. Although he redeems himself from jabbing the supernatural encounter by meditating at night for 3 weeks.
When he tells his 'ghost story' to his brothers and splinter, he has a smug face that annoys Donnie and Raph(with affection) but when Splinter ask him 'Ah, my son, do you experience any after effect the next morning'
Beloved eldest brother cannot - No, he must never lie to his father - Never -
Leo: ...I got a fever the next morning...and it's hard to sleep even if I'm really exhausted...
Donnie: Smug ghost
Raph: Ironic fearless
Mikey: ghost of the jungle being ghosted
Splinter: Even a ghost must learn to recognise its own pride
Leo: Alright, alright, I'm sorry, sorry, I thought it was just dumb local kids pranks that's why I respond. Also, If it were you 3, I'll have you all set up as a sacrifice(bait) for the ghost if we are in a haunted situation
Raph, Mikey and Donnie: Love to see you try, Ghost 👻
He is fond of sharp stuff since he takes good care of swords and other sharp object mechanical parts and etc. For example, he sharp pencil until it's really sharp, every night he make sure that his blades are clean from remains stuck on it.
For that he is in charge of their metal weapon such as fixing broken swords, sometimes Raph sai, he even makes chain but he enjoys keeping them from rusting rather making it.
Also due to his fondness of sharp stuff, he bought kitchen knives straight from the shop, it cause Donatello to transform into mamatello
Donnie: LEONARDO!
Leo: *from his room*oh no, it's mamatello.
He occasionally forgets the name of certain technology products so he refers to them as it and may have forgotten some of their form
Leo: Is the tv really this big? Did it get bigger?
Raph: No it aint, you just shrunk, bro. Remote.
Leo: ..Wha..Oh*picks up the remote* this black thing plastic thing is it?
Raph: I say man 🤦
Silly time aside, Leo is the one who often does solo night patrol when other are busy or asleep.
In the comics of prequel movie, he has killed people, sometimes he wants too far as in broken arms, legs and bloody head and face for the thugs, he doesn't kill them just cause some serious concussion.
He and Raph both can be absorbed in the thrills of battle, only Leo tends to go overboard sometimes upon returning from central america.
Leo reads a lot about the stars, minerals and plants after the movie, he still reads strategy books like Sun Tzu art of war.
I hc that he can write poems, and haiku after his training. fight me
He is fluent in japanese, he picked up on some spanish but he is able to read it well, just not speaking in spanish.
Raph
Tumblr media
I hc that he comes clean with everyone about him being nightwatcher after the whole winter thing. He even bowed apologetically to everyone in the dojo
Don and splinter had their suspicious but Don interrogates him how he snuck in and out of the lair.
Mikey on the other hand felt like an idiot for not recognizing his own brother based on the news and rumors that seem so related to one of them. He was shocked for 3 days.
After 3 days, Raph offers Mikey a ride on his bike donning night watchers helmet and a red motorcycle suit for Raph and Mikey an orange one suit and helmet. He wants to make up for his abscence despite being at home. They both had but Raph won't allow Mikey to ride on his bike unless if it's emergency
He paint his nightwatcher bike in red.
Ever since he bacame Nighwatcher, he became a vehicle expert it's mostly on his bike to take care of but he learns other vehicles in order to sabotage a gangs dirty job.
He is also super stealthy, won't see him coming.
Him being Nightwatcher has also made him to remember all the routes in the city, every road and every rooftop.
The others sometimes would tease about him being Nightwatcher. As a friendly sibling joke
Leo: Hey Raph, do you think you have a fanclub for Nightprince? Any admirers?
Raph: No, and if it did I'll run away from them. And it's Nightwatcher.
Donnie: But you're not nightwatcher anymore, you're Raphael, a grumpy sleepy snappy turtle.
Mikey: Haha, grumpy sleepy snappy turtle. Still, no jetpacks?
Raph: Obviously no, that's an offense to all our stealth training. I only have my bike and that's enough.
Donnie: Ah, yes of course your true love
The 3 of them are chased by Raph
It is Raph that started to call Donnie, Mamatello, To him Donnie became 'bossy' but still cares and worry for the well being of others in Leo's abscence and it still stays with him even after his return.
He also has convinced Leo to 'join' him because sometimes he feels like Donnie would became an Aunty-tello after his day job, and that is worse esppecially when he's mad.
Leo: What's in it for me?
Raph: He can sop bugging us about both of us not havin a job. I'll think of a day job that works for all 4 of us.
Leo: I do miss our geeky dorky brother being a geeky dorky brother. I'm proud that he's grown up but he's so...(irritated grumble) I'm in
Raph: Alright, we'll start by giving father extra cakes in silent
Leo: Wha...0_0
Leo went along with him anyway.
But Leo and Raph had a great time bonding and spendy their mundane free time
Raph may not look like it but he really is thinking of a job for all 4 of them
Raph just miss the old days because he actually miss the time they spend togeher.
When they go out on patrol, He is the most shocked towards Leo's violent impulse that he froze and is hesitant to intervene.
Luckily he was able to snap Leo out of it
Raph himself is too a battle maniac as mikey calls him and Leo but as nightwatcher he exercise some restraints.
Donnie akamamatello
Tumblr media
Since he works from home, he sometimes cleans up the lair except for Raph's room because he sleeps all day with the door locked(or so he thought)
Since he works from home, makes him the 'leader' of the lair.
His job had him mentally drained because he's dealing with karens and boneheads every day, it drives him insane.
Poor harwoking turtle became sleep deprived, and if he does sleep, he dreams about a working his job without encountering any karens it's so peaceful until he wakes up
I like to hc that deep down he despise both Raph and Leo for just leaving him and Mikey by themselves to take care of the lair.
He can take care of the technological needs of the lair but it's difficult when he and Mikey are the ones that handle it when their father's health need to taken care of
He vents out all his frustration by training with his bo staff in the dojo
Donnie dosen't mind being called mamatello(who else has been managing the lair, splinter is getting old dude) He is proud of it too, because he discovered that there is something he can manage but if one of them calls him while their on a battle or etc. There's hell to pay.
I like to think that when he and Mikey have saved enough money for months they buy medical equipments and technologies, They sill have enough for grocery.
Sometimes he call on his brothers conducts a checkup but really he wants to test their equipment, he is so excited to use such fancy equipment bare with him
Example, Donnie: Raph, Mikey, Leo! X-ray come on all of us! I already test it on dad, It's all of you guys turns now.
Leo: He sounds...happy..
Mikey: Don's just happy we get to buy a new medical tech beside I won't be alone for the checkup.
Raph: Well, better than scolding us for some unfinished chores
Leo: Or buying kitchen knives.
Raph: Nah, I think you deserve that. Wtf, man?
Donnie: Hurry up!
In their nights of keeping the city safe as a brothers together, it's up to he 3 of them to exercise restraint on Leo, making sure that he dosen't accidently kill a thug.
Donnie is little afraid and worried of his eldest brother violent but he will do what he can to keep it in check with Raph and Mikey too.
Mikey
Tumblr media
When he decide to quit being cowabunga Carl, he and Donnie come up with a plan to let Raph and Leo experience the horror of birthday parties for 2 weeks after that he works for 1 week before quitting completely.
It's mosly to compensate their absence and boy he enjoys it listening to their reactions from his headset.
Surprised at Raph's ability to adapt with the kids with a monotonous voice and Leo scolding the kids behind the parents back when he had the chance(it's rare don't worry), Both of them a one poin accidently knocked out a kid in the process.
Mikey: How's your job, fearless?
Leo: One of them were holding markers like their gonna stab me. They look like Chucky. It's annoying.
Mikey: *wheezing* Chucky. You're so mean
Mikey: Having fun, Raphie?
Raph: I didn't mean to knock that kid out, they're having fun.
Mikey: Dude, why
Raph: I didn't mean it
Since the 2 weeks of their shift, the kids stop slamming Mikey so hard due to Leo's shift, he scold some of the kids for slamming him when the adults are not seen somewhere.
He thanks Leo for that but that alone dosen't make up for his abscence.
I hc that he was frustrated when Leo stopped writing letters to them, when he didn't come home when his training period has ended.
Mikey opens up his frustration to Donnie and Splinter who empathise him, Raph at the time brushes him off by saying that he wants to stay in his room.
He has so much to tell him, he wants to lean on to Leo after his day job(back when he can enjoy it) like the youngest brother he is.
Yet, he wants to be angry at Leo but he distracts himself by focusing on his job Cowabunga Carl and be a goofball when he's back at the lair to rest before he continues the job the next day.
Having Leo to tell him about his journey is one way
Sometimes he handled the lairs technical issues by himself thanks to his observations on Donnie doing it while he explained to him. In return, he dragged Raph or Leo or both of them with him.
He has a diary in which he writes the name of the parent who scolded their kid for slamming him, he is very grateful to them, they are angels.
In their patrol when they are beating up bad guys and Leo would lose himself in the thrill of battle, Mikey was the first turtle to immediately stop restraint him from killing and Leo immediately snaps to reality.
Mikey: Yo, you nearly killed that punk! Sure their bastards acting all tough and harming folks but we don't kill them, we stop them! It's what we do, remember? Let the police and court, I guess to them.
Leo: ...Yeah...You're right, Mikey, Thanks, little bro.
Mikey: Your welcome, It's my job. come on let's give this to the police

supernatural s15e2 raising hell (w. brad buckner, eugenie ross-leming)
what's up with that chain, sammy
Tumblr media Tumblr media
spn 14x20 moriah giving disney haunted mansion
i'll be honest, i don't really understand this souls from hell / ghosts combo situation. goofy fucking cg on the souls. ghosts of s1 monsters
Tumblr media
ah yes, the hell-ghost all hands meeting
is rowena flirting with castiel again? asked the same question in 14x14:
14x14 no clue what the exchange (would say flirting but to what end, to make cas uncomfortable or actual flirting) between rowena and castiel was about.
great. ketch. very tan business casual and with some new wacky weapon. and i guess they're going to have a show-recognized moment of flirting between rowena and ketch.
Tumblr media
oook. captions and script say she says "you!" but all i hear is "ew"
CHUCK So, how about the "Game of Thrones" ending? Pretty great, right?
choosing to interpret that as petty chuck shade because what writer thought that was a great ending :p
DEAN This mess... all the messes. It turns out that we're just hamsters running in a wheel our whole lives. What do we have to show for it, huh? Tell me you don't feel conned. God's been lying to you, Cas, forever. You bought into the biggest scam in history. CASTIEL You don't think I'm angry? After what Chuck did? After what he took from me? He killed Jack. But that doesn't mean it was all a lie. DEAN Really? CASTIEL Chuck is all-knowing. He knew the truth, he... he just kept it to himself. DEAN Well, now that his cover's blown, everything that we've done is for what? Nothing? CASTIEL Even if we didn't know that all of the challenges that we face were born of Chuck's machinations, how would we describe it all? We'd call it "life". Because that's precisely what life is. It's an obstacle course, and maybe Chuck designed the obstacles, but we ran our own race. We made our own moves. And mostly, we did well with that. DEAN Did we? I'll tell you what we do know. Nothing about our lives is real. Everything that we've lost, everything that we are is because of Chuck. So maybe you can stick your head back in the sand, maybe you can pretend that we actually had a choice. I can't. CASTIEL Dean. You asked, "What about all of this is real?" We are.
i mean, i can see where dean's coming from. going to start questioning everything you feel even when knowing someone was behind the wheel setting up every important moment in your life. and never knowing if you in fact had any wiggle room to make any decision or feel any feeling that wasn't preordained. think cas is being realistic slash optimistic, but also relatable how dean's feeling. if you can truly blame a singular being for sending you to hell for 40 years, killing almost everyone you care about, torturing everyone you care most about, etc -- all for god's entertainment? gonna be pretty fucking mad
spn 15x02 / nda by billie eilish
so fucking dumb and random but here i am watching and i'm like THAT SCREECHY NOISE! it's so fucking similar to the beginning of the song NDA. that song is the first in my main playlist so i hear the start of it more than normal (because often i'm obsessing over new songs at the end of my playlist so i won't have it on shuffle)
~this is why i can't watch a fucking episode in less than 3 hours sometimes~
just have to laugh every time osric chau pops up. get that bag, friend
DEAN Chuck said he was sending you to Heaven. KEVIN Yeah, what he said, not what he did.
????? okay
Tumblr media
cut back to hell-ghost all hands. this plot is LITERALLY making me do this while i watch. didn't i just stick up for you, late seasons? they're not much worse than the other seasons, i said. are you trying to make me look like an ass??
ROWENA The dominating, analytical enforcer... you... and the pulsating, throbbing firebrand... me.
pulsating, ok. little more than i needed to know, rowena
this soul sucking thing with the showdown and the shooting ketch and playing the music like i'm supposed to be sad about ketch getting hurt... woof. and this kevin business is also so random and ridiculous. and i didn't like the amara plotline the first time around
Tumblr media
i hope this episode is not an indicator of the season to come.

The Very Nosy Neighbour
Tumblr media
this fic was 100% inspired by this one here , but I mean it practically wrote itself I couldn't resist
NSFW
You can't remember much past waking up in an unfamiliar room- though 'room' is really a sugarcoated description, as in reality it qualifies more as some kind of cavern. You're sitting in a chair, ankles and wrists bound by an indistinguishable material. Whatever the binds are made of feels strong, so any attempts to struggle against it are futile. Yet, in spite of what really should be an extremely stressful situation, you find yourself completely relaxed. You briefly wonder whether you've been drugged, but with every sense feeling fully operational, that theory is soon dismissed.
Instead of choosing a more logical response to the circumstances you've found yourself in, you decided to focus more on your surroundings: not to form any resemblance of an escape plan, but simply out of curiosity. Although, the investigation is equally as ineffective. You're unable to name anything around you except for stone walls, strange (glowing?) vines and weird symbols carved above a few archways. Everything beyond that is either entirely lost to you, or shrouded in darkness.
With little else to do, you start to think back on the events that led you there, trying to glean any useful information from the blurry memories. The clearest image, therefore the most recent, is the smirking face of a woman, Agnes you realise. Though the malicious glint in her eyes doesn't quite match your perception of the nosy neighbour. But where is she now? Is she also in danger? You may not have known Agnes for very long, but are reluctant to let any harm come to her regardless.
With a clearer head, you consider calling for help, but a small voice at the back of your subconscious warns you against this. And the voice sounds smart, so you elect to listen to it. But what should you do instead? Where did this voice come from? And most importantly, should you trust it? Luckily, you aren't given much time to overthink the decision.
While trying to tune into this voice, footsteps echo in the distance, gradually drawing nearer. You hold your breath as the sound suddenly stops, leaving your eyes scanning the vicinity for any movement. The unpleasant reality dawns on you all too quickly: the footsteps were approaching from behind you.
“Well, well, well.” Someone says playfully, then snorts as they start walking closer. "Sorry to be a total cliché. I couldn't resist." It's Agnes. She narrows her eyes and smirks, folding her arms as she examines your constrained form. Subjected to her scrutiny, you find yourself swallowing, but your throat is too dry. Other small discomforts also become noticeable; your cramped limbs, aching back and the bruises on your hands. Well at least you put up a fight. The more rational part of you, however, realises that your hands are no longer bound. You stare down at them, flexing each finger as if checking they were all still fully functional.
Something suddenly knocks into your head and you grimace. Left reeling from the impact, you realise that you're slightly nauseated. Though not enough to stop you from reaching out to grasp the floating cup of water. The fact that the glass is suspended in mid-air doesn't go unnoticed, rather ignored, since there's too much happening simultaneously to comprehend any of it in sufficient detail. You swirl the liquid round, hesitant to drink, unwilling to trust your captor's apparent mercy.
"Drink up, dear." Agnes drags a chair forward, which seems to have just appeared out of thin air. She sits backwards on it, legs spread and arms resting on the back casually. "That's all you're getting until we're done here." The tone of her voice is both threatening and teasing. You're reluctant to admit it's quite a turn on.
One glance up at her prying expression and you relent, downing the chilled water way too quickly. Though you aren't given a chance to mourn your impatience, as with an effortless wave of her hand, Agnes refills the glass. While you sip at the water, she refuses to tear her eyes away from you for even a second. It's slightly disconcerting.
“Now," She claps her hands, startling you. "I assume you know why you’re here?”
“Not really.” You confess, unable to pinpoint why anyone would go to so much effort to kidnap you, especially Agnes, who up to this point had been an eccentric yet kind neighbour.
She sighs, more for show than anything else, and rubs at her temple. "Come on Y/N, let's not play dumb now."
Embarrassingly, a heat begins to pool deep in your gut, but you quickly dismiss the unwarranted lust. "I don't know what you mean."
"Oh really?" She quirks an eyebrow, sitting upright. "You really have no idea?" The inquiry is ridiculing, and you can see that your naivety is starting to annoy her.
All you can do is shake your head and pray the sincerity is reflected in your eyes.
"Okay." She slams her hands down on her thighs. "I guess we'll have to go about this the hard way then, toots." A sharp gesture and your hands are bound before you once again.
By the time you're looking up, she's striding toward you with purpose, which does nothing to ease the building heat between your legs. Her hands clasp on the armrests either side, essentially trapping you, not like escape would've been possible without the extra precaution. Up close you finally recognize this isn't Agnes- in fact it never has been. There's a feral yet wise appearance to her, the facade of nosy neighbour dissolved in an instance to be replaced by a deranged, frighteningly powerful woman (or witch, you're undecided).
Despite your better judgement, you're unable to stop yourself from asking. "Who are you?" Your voice barely breaches a whisper, but she's standing close enough that nothing less intimate is required.
She looks mildly impressed, the corner of her mouth twitching almost indiscernibly. "Agatha Harkness." She extends a hand, smirking upon realisation that you're a little too tied up at the minute to reciprocate. "Lovely to meet you."
You swallow again, finding your throat to be a little less dry. "Likewise." Then decide to take another risk. "So what do you want from me?"
“Wanda's true identity.” She replies so quickly that you almost miss it, looking at you with an eagerly expectant expression.
Agatha's question confuses you further. “I don’t know what you mean.” Although your answer is honest, something at the back of your mind hisses lies.
"There's no need to lie here." Her patient humour had disappeared. "Trust me, no one will hear you, so drop the act."
For some unbeknown reason, her accusation angers you. "I'm not putting on an act, I don't know why I'm here or what you want from me." The bravery dissipates all of a sudden as you remember that you're not exactly in the position to command such authority. "Please, stop this."
Agatha purses her lips, stands up and turns away from you. She calmly moves forwards a few paces, and in the short amount of time you manage to convince yourself that she's given up. Until in a completely unprovoked move, she swings her hands to the left, sending her chair crashing into the wall in frustration. Whether this is part of her interrogation performance or not, it works. Your heart starts racing, and confusingly, the awkward heat between your legs pulses.
She runs a hand through her hair, still facing away from you. "Don't make this any harder harder than it needs to be." You can practically hear her grinding her teeth, but don't doubt that she was getting some enjoyment out of the situation.
"I can tell you that Wanda is my sister and only real family, that I moved to Westview with her and that I couldn't live without her." You start listing off some basic facts, desperate to prove to Agatha that nothing is hidden. That you're normal.
"What about your brother?" She swivels round, clicking her fingers as she tries to recall something. "Pietro!" She exclaims.
"Pietro..." You falter. Why does the name sound so familiar? The nausea worsens. You shake off the feeling. "Never heard of him."
“Liar.” In one swift movement, Agatha is right by your ear. The feeling of her lips brushing against your skin causes you to close your eyes. The close proximity was becoming overwhelming, and your body had chosen to react in a rather unfortunate way. Admittedly, you'd always had a thing for Agnes, but Agatha was on a whole other level. You dreaded to open your eyes, worried that she'd noticed your current state. Instead, you internally begged for mercy.
“Don't go all shy on me now.” She pushes your shoulder into the chair, compelling you to open your eyes. "If you don't want to talk, I have other methods." Her hand raises, a purple flow emanating from the tips of her fingers. It crackles and sparks, as if the power was barely contained, yet as she shifts closer to brush the hair out of your face, you don't flinch. One finger remained touching your forehead, then traced down to your jaw, and finally along to grasp your chin.
While the vaguely sinister movement terrified you, it also forced you hold your breath and grip onto the armrests for dear life. Why you'd decided this was hot was beyond you considering the many connotations of her words, yet your thighs pressed tighter together as she drew closer. You attempted to turn your head to the side, longing for distraction, but her hold on you kept your head still.
"This won't be much fun for you, dear." She sighed in mock pity, her breath hot against your skin... Which just tipped you over the edge. As hard as you tried to stifle the noise, a broken moan escaped your lips. You'd definitely hit a low point here. Too ashamed to face your apparent arousal, you screwed your eyes shut. Although, at Agatha's silence, you relented and opened them barely a minute later.
To your relief, or perhaps dismay, the woman was grinning like a maniac. Her eyes flickered down to your parted lips as she chewed on her own. Then carefully, as if she were testing the waters, her fingers began to rub against your jaw, and upwards to your mouth. Your breath deceives you by hitching as her thumb slips between your lips, stroking your tongue. At the contact, you can't help but arch into the touch. Agatha chuckles.
"I take it back." She murmurs, removing her hand. "This will be fun." Although the intimidation factor prevails, there's a certain desire mirrored in Agatha's expression which cancels out any remaining common sense. Your entire body felt like it was on fire, and even if you wanted to, there was little you could do to stop her. So, you give into your yearning, sighing as she climbs to sit on your lap. Immediately, her hand switches to gripping the back of your neck as she slams her mouth onto yours. You willingly indulge by opening further, allowing her tongue to slide between your lips. Her other hand lowers to grab at your chest, like she were trying to tug herself impossibly closer.
Without removing her lips, the hand massaging your chest shifts to your thigh. She still keeps her lips firmly pressed to yours, and with the lack of oxygen, you can feel yourself growing lightheaded. It almost feels like a challenge, one which you're determined to succeed at. Though when she eventually does break away, her hand suddenly slips between your thighs, and your breath is stolen from you once more. Wasting no time, she massages you through your clothes, dragging out an inevitable whine. The touch is both too much, and not enough. But judging by her malevolent smirk, that was exactly her intention.
Even though you were currently incapable of producing any reasonable thought, you still noticed that Agatha wasn't entirely unaffected. Her breathing was laboured, hips occasionally jerking against your thigh and eyes struggling to stay open. The influence you were having on her only encouraged you to moan louder, craving to see her equally dishevelled. Your plan seemed to momentarily fail as her hand retreated. But you'd certainly earned her attention.
She licks her lips, then abruptly changes her expression to look disturbingly like that of Agnes. "You wouldn't leave me out of the fun now, would you dear?" Her voice is high pitched as she basically sings her words. Although the question must've been rhetorical as doesn't await a response, instead you find your hands unbound, flung behind your back and bound together all in a matter of seconds. Then, she shifted her position, yanking your bodies closer so that your crotches were pressed together. She grunts, heaving forward to rest against you for a moment and regain her composure. And finally, without warning, starts to grind your hips together.
It doesn't take long for her movement to become more frantic, accompanied by her hair spilling onto her face. She remains impressively quiet, however, or perhaps you were just comparably loud. With the little pride you have left, you decide to take matters into your own hands, and start meeting each thrust with equal vigour. Miraculously, it works. She throws her head back with a remarkably loud moan, proceeded by change in strategy as she starts almost bouncing on top of you, hips losing their rhythm, pleasure overwhelming her. Startled by her lack of self-control, the heat in your stomach begins building exponentially fast. Your eyes slam shut.
A hand grasps onto your face. “Look at me!” She growls, then emphasises her demand by rolling her hips torturously slowly. The movement ceases. She leans her forehead against yours, staring directly into your eyes. “Come with me.” To your surprise, there's an audible plea in her voice.
At a loss for words, you nod. The pleasure had been building for so long that you knew it'd only take a few more grinds to push you over the edge. With your confirmation, Agatha resumes her thrusting, though soon succumbs, throwing her head back and uttering an exceptionally loud, high-pitched moan. She arches her back, pressing herself so far into you that the pleasure peaks. You groan, lurching backwards in a moment of pure bliss. All you can feel is Agatha, all you can think about is Agatha. Coming down from the high, you sigh and collapse forward to bury your face in the crook of her neck.
She tenses slightly at the contact, but soon relaxes into the strange embrace. You gently press your lips against her skin and feel her shiver, confirming your suspicion that it'd been a while since Agatha had received such affection. Motivated by a new, more innocent desire, you continue to pepper light kisses across her throat and behind her ear, simply enjoying the unexpectedly intimate moment.
Agatha finally breaks the silence, leaning away from your touch to look down at you curiously. "Wanda really has you under her mind control too, huh?"
Although still stuck in a post-coital haze, you muster enough brainpower to consider her words. "Mind control?"
"Oh, right." She smirks, a slight sadness perceptible in her eyes. "Forgot to mention." Before you can say anything, she swings one leg to the side, stiffly sliding off your lap and clasping her hands together. "You might want to reconsider where your loyalties lie, dear." She glances at you, then ambles to the opposite side of the room. "That's one fucked up family situation right there." Her voice teasingly calls out.
You feel yourself flush, strangely offended by her comment, and annoyed by her vagueness. "Like you can talk." Your response is a total shot in the dark, but must've hit a nerve since she slowly turns back to you, a suspicious expression upon her face. "Just a guess." You add, unwilling to know the details of whatever sensitive topic you'd just touched upon. Agatha easily shrugs it off, leaving behind a stifling silence. Eventually, it's a mixture of your own boredom and concern that prompts you to end the lull in conversation. "Are you still planning on interrogating me about something I know nothing about?"
"Oh, no I read your mind." She waves a dismissive hand over her shoulder. "Got all I needed."
Again, you're left suffocating in the confusion her ambiguity provokes, with nothing else to ask except. "How...?"
The inquiry must've been exactly what Agatha wanted to hear as she immediately dropped what she was doing to turn around and lean on the wall, arms folded in a casually smug pose. "Sex leaves you vulnerable." She smirked. "All I did was take advantage of the opportunity- but I'll spare you the boring details." With a flourish of her hand and a flash of purple, the binds holding your ankles and wrists disappeared. "You can go now. First door on the left."
Without sparing you another glance, she busied herself with some witchy task, allowing you to see yourself out. Massaging your wrists, you stood slowly, watching her expectantly. Surely she wouldn't just let you leave? Yet as you sauntered over to the door she'd directed you to, she made no move to stop you. "Bye then?"
Agatha looked up at you and winked. "See you around, neighbour."

Tumblr media
"And she said No" Donghyuck huffed taking a swig of his alcohol, while the boy opposite him started laughing at the story, "Don't," he says pointing a finger at him "Don't laugh at me, Mark Lee"
He snorts and takes a sip of his drink before replying "Well you deserved it, did you think she'll agree?" he pints out and sighs, running his fingers through his hair "You're fortunate enough that she didn't refuse your advances in front of everyone"
Donghyuck groaned and glared at Mark "You're supposed to be on my side"
"I'm on nobody's side"
"What a lucky bitch nobody must be"
"Think about it, other than the maid of the royal family, she has a life of her own, with people she adores and people who adore her right back," he points at Prince Donghyuck's chest "You suddenly pulling that stunt, is only making it harder for her, so be a little bit more," he thinks of the right word "Sympathetic"
Hyuck nods, playing with the liquid in his glass as Mark stands up to leave "Don't leave me," Hyuck accuses "Stay here till the sun rises"
"And why should I do that?"
"Because if Jeno and Jaem find out they're going to yell at me, if Renjun finds out he'll laugh at me, Chenle and Jisung are underaged to drink and Lucas Hyung is talking to his Fiancé"
Mark raises an eyebrow unamused by the younger's words
"Y/n is asleep on my bed," he answers honestly this time, relenting to the older's stare "I told her to sleep there and made an excuse that my parents might walk in and wonder why she is asleep on the sofa, so I waited till she slept before leaving her there to rest, you know like a gentleman"
Mark hums and sits back down "And what do I have to do with this?"
"I can use you as an excuse as to why I'm not in the room"
"Ok," Mark rolls his eyes and nods "Then why ask me to come here at Eleven in the evening if you just wanted her to be alone in the bed?"
"She slept at Eleven!" He shot back "she was on her phone for two hours, giggling to herself, whoever she was talking to is making her all giddy"
"Maybe she has a boyfriend or talking to her friends how dumb their prince is," Mark added "that's why she wouldn't accept you, none the less, at least try to be a bit more considerate on how she is feeling"
Tumblr media
       "Morning" was the first thing Y/n heard when she woke up, don't get her wrong, she wakes up early cause of her job, but she also knows that the prince rises even earlier cause he loves the sunrise and when she opened her eyes that's where he was, by the window, letting the sun coat him in light making him glow, his black hair styled to perfection, his dress shirt wrapped snugly against his body, the tailor did a splendid job on this one, his trousers and unbuttoned blazer giving off a casual look. For a moment she sat there in awe, he was beautiful, absolutely breathtaking that it takes all her strength to look away "Go get ready, we're returning home after breakfast" he points at a dress beside the bed, that she hasn't noticed, and we have the prince to blame for that
The dress was a red, more pastel-like, giving off an innocent vibe, Off-shoulder vintage style is what she would describe it "What about that dress, Prince?"
"It's yours," He said and looked at her "If anyone  asks tell them I gave it as a gift to you on your birthday" she blushes and shakes her head, opening her mouth to speak if only he didn't cut her off "Gifts are meant to be accepted, love, so accept the dress, it's yours now"
Just as he spoke a maid entered the room bowing to the prince "Your Highness," She faces Y/n and immediately recognizes her, it was one of the new maids in Prince Donghyuck's Kingdom, She remembers to cause this girl was supposed to be under her wing "Milady"
Y/n gasps and looks at the girl in shock "Hana" She says and shakes her head
The prince walks towards Hana, petting her hair, "Speak casually to her, it's alright" He smiles and nods at the dress "Take care of her, see you in the dining hall my love" he says, taking her hand to kiss her knuckles and leaves the room
Y/n looks at the younger maid who looks at her in awe "Pardon me for my rudeness, Milady,"
"Y/n is fine"
She smiles "Lady Y/n, you of all people know how loved the prince is" she squeals excitedly "everyone in the palace were so excited with the news, so many girls envy you you know"
Y/n smiles softly "The prince and I aren't really dating" she replied and shook her head
"Milady please don't be so modest," She says and stood up to take the dress "wow such a pretty dress," she breathed "Where did you get this Milady?"
She sighs and stood up "The Prince gave it to me" she replies and Hana immediately assisted her "I'm ok, you don't have to help me"
She pouts "It is my job"
Tumblr media
       Entering the dining hall all dressed up in the dress is Y/n's first, she looks at Prince Donghyuck who smiles and nods as Prince Jaemin stands to greet the new incomer
"Y/n" he smiles and takes her hand to kiss her knuckles "You look lovely," HE praises "Is that from Hyuck?" A shy nod leaves her and Prince Jaemin smiles slyly at the boy who was watching him and the girl, Jaemin raised a hand and waved him off, Yes, I know she's your bride I won't do anything, it meant.
But in all honesty, Prince Donghyuck was just watching to see if Jaemin was about to do anything that isn't approved by Y/n, he was just worried. She hasn't even agreed to marry him yet.
Prince Jaemin squeezes Y/n's hand so she'll look at him "Don't be shy Y/n," he replies and a smile coats his features "I'm sure Hyuck told you to wear that cause he was excited the secret is out and he can spoil you"
Y/n's eyes widened opening her mouth to speak but Prince Jaemin spoke first "He said this was a gift on your anniversary" he said excitedly leading her to her seat beside Prince Donghyuck
Prince Lucas nodded "What did you get him Y/n?
She was about to reply only to be spoken over by Prince Donghyuck "Can you not?" he asked Prince Lucas, wrapping a protective arm around her waist, making her flinch as he leans down to whisper in her ear making it look like he was keeping her close "Don't say a word"
She obeyed
Tumblr media
       Arriving at the palace a little before noon she was greeted by Maids and butlers, ready to assist Prince Donghyuck in whatever he might need
He holds her hand, "follow me" he instructed and lead her through the palace and people, "mother says this is your room now" he informs and sits on the bed
"My prince" she quickly denies and shakes her head "I cannot accept, this is insane"
He laughs and shakes his head "The room is yours, get some rest, my parents took the liberty to fill your closet" he replies and stands up against the door, his hand on the door "Get some sleep, you must've been stressed" he opens the door and leaves
Y/n watches him leave still not done disagreeing with The Royal Families instructions, it wasn't fair, she and the prince aren't dating, they're not engaged, she doesn't deserve this
She sits down on the bed to open the drawer on the white vanity beside her and gasped, in it were different designs of accessories, she couldn't help but become completely enchanted, taking them one by one to examine them.
A beautiful (birthstone) ring was the first thing she saw, taking it and examining it, watching the intricate details swirl and curve around the ring. Next, she saw a pretty and plane necklace, it was a diamond gem, a choker sized necklace that if she wore the gem being pressed right between her collar. While holding the necklace she stands, going to the closet to see the overwhelming amount of dresses, taking them out to carefully inspect and admire them placing one after the other on the soft mattress of the bed, finding comfort on the cold floor right at the floor of the bed, she leans her head against the matress as she thinks, I have to tell them.
She sighs softly, this was all new and stressful and even if the gifts were beautiful, she feels guilty, these weren't for her  they were for Prince Donghyuck's Fiance, she frustratingly ran her fingers through her hair, and closed her eyes at the on coming headache
She didn't mean it, she only meant to close her eyes for a minute, to only rest for a couple of seconds, she didn't mean to be cooped up in the room for a two hour nap, she didn't mean to fall asleep still holding the necklace that when Prince Donghyuck entered to ask her if she wanted to accompany him only to see her asleep, she didn't mean for him to lift her and place her under the covers, she didn't mean for him to clean up the mess she made while she explored the room, she didn't even know it happened 'till she woke up
Opening her eyes and realizing that this wasn't where she fell asleep, she sat up in shock, what happened? who entered the room? Somebody cleaned up? She got cut from her thoughts when she noticed a letter on the vanity table from the prince herself
Dear Y/n,
I hope you didn't mind, I placed you on the bed, you'll get a stiff neck at the position you were on. Rest well, You deserved, the whole ordeal must've been stressful, I know you wanna talk to me, I have a free schedule later around 7 pm, eat dinner with me and lets talk
Lots of love,
Lee Donghyuck :)
Y/n's mouth drops open in shock, he was the one that placed her on the bed, did he clean to? please tell me the prince didn't clean up the mess she made. She stood up only to be greeted by Hana as she opens the door
"You're awake, Milady" She smiles and sorts through the closet before Y/n could even process what was happening "Prince Donghyuck has suggested this to be your outfit for the rest of the day Milady"
She blinks, "Um, no thank you, I'm ok with what I'm wearing" She says and moves to go out the door when Hana stops her
"Milady you can't be seen wearing the same thing twice," She reasons holding the dress up so she can see
Y/n examined the dress, it was simple more simple than the red vintage dress she was currently wearing, it was a long dress hat would reach her ankles, the material light and seemed light and cottony, sleeves reaching the wrists, and a cute bow by the collar. It was just a simple casual sundress that had its own belt, she nods and sighs "ok fine, I'll go change"
       She walks through the halls of the palace, going to the tea room, where Hana has informed her where Prince Donghyuck was. Upon arriving she realized that not only was Prince Donghyuck in the room so was the Queen and someone she hasn't seen a long time
"Donghyuck where is Y/n?" the queen asks and looks by the door, making Y/n hide behind the door, "Should we fetch someone to get her?"
Donghyuck was quick to shake his head and deny his mother's suggestion "She's probably asleep let her rest"
The boy she hasn't seen in years smiled happily at the conversation "Hyuck sounds like a caring fiancé its amusing" he laughs and teases Doghyuck with a sly grin "is she the one wearing blue by the door way?"
Y/n froze around the same time, Prince Donghyuck and the queen turn their heads to look "Y/n?" Donghyuck asks
Revealing herself, cheeks slightly tinted red at being caught she bows in greeting "I'm sorry," she replies looking down in embarrassment
Prince Donghyuck stands to hold her hand and land a kiss on her knuckles "Don't be, my love" he says and leads her to sit beside him with her still frozen from the nickname and the action,  "Did you sleep well?"
the boy from earlier giving her tea "I have honestly never seen Donghyuck so smitten," he teases and smiles at her "Nice to finally meet you, Lady Y/n"
She shakes her head and stands "No please, Lord Taeyong" she quickly denies "Don't address me by a title have no right over"
A smile lands on his lips "I like you" he says and pats Donghyuck's back "I approve if her, good job" he stands and bows "I'm afraid I shall keep you calling that Milady, it suits you" he winks and Donghyuck, gently pulls Y/n to sit down "Your Highness" Taeyong speaks to the Queen "After you, I think the two of them would like to have the room for themselves"
The queen giggled, nodding "Oh Taeyong, I was just about to suggest that, you're a lot like my brother in law has anyone ever told you that?"
"I'm afraid so, My Queen" he laughs "He is my father" was the last thing you could hear from the conversation before it faded away and into the hallway
Y/n wasn't paying attention to the Marquees or the Queen only to be focusing on the prince, his blazer long forgotten on the coat rack, but his simple french-cuffed-two-unbuttoned-buttons style was mesmerizing, she realized they have matching colored tops, she blushes slightly
"Are you still adamant about not marrying me?" he wakes her from her thoughts
She blinks then nods "Yes, this isn't meant for me, My Prince, this was for your Fiance and i can't take it"
He sighs and examines her "Two weeks"
"I'm sorry?"
"Give me two weeks of your time and after that I'll tell my mother myself"
"What? No, We have to tell her now"
"Listen, you said you don't want the royal family to suffer because I can't tell her I don't want tp get married yet, right?"
She bites her lip, not answering
"Right?"
"Yes" she whispers
"Then give me two weeks, to figure out a way to tell her how we broke up so you can be free and no one will ask why, and so I can use it as an excuse as to why I wont find a new bride anytime soon"
"What excuse, My Prince?"
"I'll be too busy trying to get over you to find one" he smiles and she tries her best to suppress the warmth of her cheeks at the sight
"That won't work"
"Better than the family getting ridiculed, so, will you give me two weeks my love?"

I think I've figured out how I want to write these (Exposition/mini story, when relationship is established HCs actually start) based on a previous statement I made, also ANOTHER REQUEST! All headcanons are placed at the back of the story part. Let's get this ball rolling!
Crow x Reader
"Now, if he ever flies too far from the nest?" Spider leans forward, "Boom." Your stomach made a flip at the kingpin's explanation, and you've never been more uncomfortable to have your Ghost out in the open. Some part of your mind is saying 'Who cares? That's the man that killed Cayde', but another half is saying 'He has no idea. It isn't fair to judge him for something he can't remember'.
That meeting had happened an hour ago and you couldn't get his dumb gray face out of your head. He looked so.. sad. Regardless, having a Ghost rigged with explosives did not sit right with you at all. Spider wanted you to help him with his Wrathborn problem? Sure, alright. When all of this was over, you knew exactly what you wanted your payment to be.
One large change about the new light that you've found impossible to ignore is diminutive he is. His commentary after successful hunts and small chats after a lure upgrade is administered are curt. Even more surprising is his willingness to present mercy to the corrupted Fallen. He is nothing like Uldren.
Acknowledging this division between his past and present self is when you start to realize that you like working with him. A lot. Probably more than just work, but will you admit it? No. Besides, you tell yourself, he really doesn't look like he's searching for a relationship while figuring himself out.
Petra often asks why you've taken to visiting the Tangled Shore so frequently now, and everytime you scramble to spit out an answer, something stupid like "Spider has a good deal running right now". In some part, it's true, since when you're not hunting Wrathborn you're showing Crow how to do Guardian stuff and explaining Last City life to him. His calm and curious demeanor is extremely cute, and the velvet sound of his voice does not help.
When Spider has both of you run point on a mission you always look to the rafters of the building to try and see him or listen for his steps. He's annoyingly good at stealth. The only time you ever had to be stealthy was in the Gorgon's lair and the Pleasure Gardens. You wish you could speak to him unfiltered; if Spider ever discovered your crush he wouldn't let you hear or see the end of it.
As the months dragged on and you came closer to catching the High Celebrant, you caught yourself anxiously wondering what lie at the end of it all. What if Spider didn't let you take him? And if he did, would Crow stay with you or do his own thing? Greedy little thoughts ran through your head as you thought of all the times you shared together, both of you visibly happy in your eyes.
As much as you'd like to live a runaway life with him and hope he felt the same, you knew it was wrong. He'd get restless, and you'd start fighting. Whatever he chose to do, is what you would let him do. Osiris has taken notice of your feelings, and the knowing glances he gives when no one else is looking sets your face on fire, acting like he doesn't have a thing for Saint always writing those letters when he's on death's doorstep; dramatic is what you say.
Soon enough, all of your close friends can tell you like someone, but they simply can't figure out who. Ironically, the day you work up enough courage to ask him to be your partner is the same day he pins the location of the High Celebrant. The morning is tense, and just getting ready for the big fight is sending energy through your body. Crow, on the other hand, seems much more grim. It makes sense, really; you're the one who's been slaying gods over the years.
You're guard is quickly brought up when Spider summons you for a talk in the main room. You listen to his next words with a fierce intensity.
"Do not let him so close, or spoil him with pretty dreams. Kill the High Celebrant. Break Xivu Arath's hold over my Shore, and you can claim any prise in my lair as your reward. You'll have earned it."
Hiding a smile, you nod and make your way to disembark on your mission; looks like you won't have to ask.
The Dreaming City was as mystical as ever, and you vaguely wondered if Petra had seen you come in. Making quick work of the scarce Hive, you found yourself in Harbinger's Seclude. The massive Cryptolith was impossible to miss, and a full body shiver racked you as you approached it. This was it.
Stabbing the lure into the roots, Crow's voice filled your comm channel.
"Ha! Tagged it! It's bleeding energy and on its way back to you." Your heart jumped at his excited tone. Nobody had any business being that cute. The trademark screech of a Hive portal drowned out all noise, and your next big fight ensued.
The next period of time was spent chasing the Celebrant through realms, until, that is, it sealed the last portal. Osiris had given weak condolences, but you weren't going to give up on Crow. Not today! The blight high above you twinkled teasingly as frustrated tears swam over your eyes as you attempted scrambling up the large Awoken statue, just barely missing the hand and falling back to the ground uselessly.
The silence was becoming overwhelming, deafening, even. Osiris continued to tell you to return to fight another day, but he was too important for you to just leave behind.
"Maybe there's enough Hive magic left in the lure to find another way through!" For once, your Ghost didn't parrot the obvious; you almost wanted to kiss him. Turning around with a new fire, you thrusted your lure into the crystalline floor over the last trace of the High Celebrant's blood. Sure enough, platforms much like those of the Dreadnaught revealed themselves over the edge of the bridge.
You wasted no time, racing over every gap and closing in on the blight. Palpitations overtook your heart when Crow's voice returned to the feed, spewing some kind of death message. Death wouldn't take him. Especially not if you had anything to say about it.
Jumping through the portal, you recognize the bitter feelings of anguish. This is exactly how you felt when Sundance's light washed over the Prison of Elders. Not again.
By the time you see the High Celebrant, all you're seeing is red. Faintly, you remember how Drifter said the Hive in the system were scared of you; good. They should be.
Bullets fly and the ether sings with each corrupted Fallen whose head flies by your gun. If you weren't so pressed for time, you would've strangled the Wizard that had your sought after stolen Light. Standing in the pool of green magic, you turn a furious glare on to the Celebrant and unload your heavy straight into its bony head. Something inside of you lurched in desperation to finish the kill when it summons a portal, trying to make for a retreat and trapping you at the center of the room.
"Crow! The portal!"
"I see it! Now finish it!" Just as he says those words, the trap falls and the portal across the room implodes, sending the High Celebrant to its knees. Your body erupts with power as you descend upon the Hive that killed Sagira and nearly killed Crow, sending it off with your super into the abyss.
Heaving a sigh, your brain finally has a chance to clear with no more present danger. In fact, your chest swells with affection as your Ghost confidently speaks of his trust in Crow followed by his reply.
"It's been an honor, Guardian."
Finally leaving the location, Celebrant head included, you decide to sleep on your short trip back. Your Ghost wakes you up before you land, and when you transmat your eyes immediately fall on Crow, who is safe and sound. Behind your helmet, you smile wearily at the former prince.
The moment you step into the Spider's lair, the air is thick with tension. You can tell the kingpin is pleased to have the Shore cleansed of Hive corruption, but also upset that he has to give up one of his prizes.
"It's done." You say firmly.
"So it is... so it is," he leans forward in his seat with a leer, "All right, Guardian. As promised, you can have a prized bauble from my lair as compensation for your... heroics." The last word rolls off his tongue with a quiet distaste, and you have no problem returning the feeling.
"I want... him." Jerking your head in Crow's direction, you can feel the energy crack through the room.
"Cute. Real funny." Your brows crease in impatience at his dismissive snicker.
"You said anything in the room." You do your best to keep your eyes off of Crow; a distraction now could be bad news. Spider lets out a terrible laugh as his guards step forward, readying their spears.
"Oh... You really want my little bird," he puts an uncomfortable amount of importance on the words "really want", "Fine. You can have him." The large Fallen turns his gaze to Crow, mockingly waving his arm upward.
"Fly away," he looks back down at you, "and get the hell out of my lair."
No further instruction is needed as you and Crow make your leave. As you exit the safehouse, both Glint and your Ghost come out.
"Now what?" Glint looks to Crow for an answer. The reality of the event settles on the Awoken, and he looks at you in a way he hasn't before.
"Why would you do this for us?"
As a formality, you've never taken off your helmet around Crow. He'd never seen, or even had an idea about your face, until... now. The tear streaks from the mission are still on your face, slightly visible in the dim light. Walking over to him, you slowly bring your eyes up to his. He doesn't move away, but you do notice with a flash of hope that a blush is starting to grace his cheeks at your proximity. Clenching your eyes shut, you close the gap between you two and press a kiss to his lips.
He freezes for a moment before placing his hands on your shoulders, and you pull back afraid that you've just made the wrong move.
"I... uh." His eyes dart here and there before settling back on yours. His face straightens out, and then he hesitantly leans forward into your range again. This time, he's the one kissing you.
Both of you leave the Tangled Shore together.
Relationship HCs
He never fails to pick you up during your special brand of greeting, which is running straight at him and jumping into his arms. You even do the little spin around like those movie couples
He's okay with subtle PDA like handholding, but nothing too extreme such as kissing in front of others; he prefers to keep more intimate moments between you and him
Surprisingly eager for cuddles with you at the end of the day
He will let you indulge yourself by doing stupid things every once in a while, like seeing how much whipped cream you can put in his mouth before he can't take anymore
There are times when you just talk about random stuff because he knows you like the sound of his voice
He usually has to calm you down whenever another Guardian stares too long. You see it as a threat, and you're ready to defend your glowing boyfriend with your life
When you're not busy with Vanguard tasks, you're bringing him to the planets that weren't swallowed by the Darkness and showing him the layout, along with whatever endemic life is present
He becomes enamored with Earth's crows, which you had expected
Whenever he has visions of his past, he'll tell you and you do your best to fill in with rudimentary details such as location or time; you hope he never remembers the moment when you had to kill him
You especially love playing with his hair, it's nearly softer than silk and you are intrigued by the white streaks at the front of his cut
Both of you will decide to sit down every once in a while and just touch each other's face; you prefer running your hands along his jawline and cheekbones while he'll brush just under your eyes and along your temples
Dates can range from a quiet, romantic dinner to hunting down large and difficult quarry
Whenever you find a Golden Age waltz piece, you bring it to him and give it a listen; these sessions always end with you two dancing and swaying with each other
Truly, a couple of many talents
NSFW 👁👄👁
The first time you get anywhere close to the act he's so unsure of himself you both stop and instead explore each other at the surface level
No matter how many times he sees you nude his face is a blushing mess everytime
The first few times you take the lead, but once you both get over the fact that you've exchanged pleasantries he's the one who figures out he likes to be dominant in bed
He's vocal to an extent, mostly heavy breathing/moaning and grunts to let you know exactly how good you feel
He's super into bondage (who would've known?) whenever you're the one tying him up
He always prefers the ability to see your face, and whether it's because he can see your face contort in pleasure or because he can lock with you in a heated kiss, you can't tell
His sides are usually ticklish, but they act more like erogenous zones when both of you are deep into it
He starts out rough since he isn't used to this kind of activity at all, but over time he finds a balance between being gentle and absolutely blowing your back out
He's likely to caress your arms and waist the whole time to add another sensitive layer to your already overstimulated body
He also likes draping his body over yours, and with how hot his chest is and the press of his lower body? You're not arguing
Once you finish, he either goes straight to sleep while huddling against you or you convince him to get up so you can shower together
I have 2 asks for Drifter HCs, but I'm implementing a personal/request system so I can keep my monsterfucker train going. The next HCs I'm releasing are for Nokris, then I'll do Drifter HCs, and for now my last personal writing will be for Ghaul

Chambre De-Oh Shit
Tumblr media
Hayley looked shocked, her real parents were standing here in front of her.
Klaus instinctively pushed his older daughter behind him in an effort to protect her from Mikael, and Esther. He also kept a watch on Ansel not knowing what his biological father would do.
"Nothing to say, boy." Mikael spat venomously.
"How are you here?" Elijah spoke calmly, the noble mask still strong but you could hear the slight fear in his voice.
"How do you think we are here?" Danielle countered, an airy tone in her voice.
Kol now knew where Star got her airy tone, it was from her paternal grandmother.
"It was Star, wasn't it?" Kol asked playing dumb.
"Kol is correct. Our granddaughter summoned us here." Esther spoke cordially, confidence exuding from her figure.
"She really is the most intelligent of you lot, she clearly didn't inherit her brains from either of her parents," Mikael spoke an air of nonchalance in his tone, ignoring Klaus and Hayley's offended squawks.
"Kol, Davina, Keelin, and Marcel, you four will be removed shortly," Danielle spoke lightly to the four who nodded.
No sooner did those words leave Danielle's mouth, they were gone in flashes of magic.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><>
The four woke up in a hotel room, and groaned, feeling as if there was cotton shoved through their brain.
"Sorry about that, but you know I couldn't risk their suspicions." A voice that they immediately recognized spoke.
"We figured, it's good to see you AJ," Marcel replied and hugged his younger sister. She immediately hugged him back just as tight.
"Hey J, we got them all set up," Katherine said as she entered the room to find the very attractive man hugging Jupiter tightly.
"Right, sorry. Marcie, this is Katherine. Katherine, this is my brother Marcel." Jupiter introduced as she went to hug Keelin.
The pink-haired girl almost laughed at the look on Katherine's face when Marcel began flirting with her. The young Ford woman knew that Marcel and Rebekah had broken up since before they came to D.C but this was the icing on the cake for her.
Katherine was Marcel's mate. Rebekah was going to be pissed.
"How did you bring them back?" Kol asked his niece as they walked into the living room to have a drink and catch up.
"I wrote my own spell, I forced an astral projection of sorts that would send them in there and allow them their full strength, so three werewolves, the original witch, and the vampire who hunts vampires; what could go wrong?" The woman answered sassily.
"Well, I can confirm that you almost made Klaus piss himself, darling. I knew we were alike." Kol said proudly as he ruffled his niece's pink curls.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Klaus landed on the ground with a groan, having been knocked on his ass for at least the 10th time. Elijah falling next to him not too shortly after.
Andrew and Danielle were currently fighting with their daughter and older granddaughter respectively. Andrew and Hayley fought similarly, strike first, and think later. Hope fought the same way but Danielle for being a light and airy woman was quick with her movements, it was almost like she was dancing and she managed to defeat the tribrid.
"You all think the same, no wonder you all did what you did to our granddaughter," Andrew spoke disappointedly.
"Veritas tempus," Esther spoke calmly, having been the only one of the five spirits to have not directly fought.
"We did what we did because we couldn't love two kids! We were told we were having one child not two, we only prepared ourselves to love one child! So when Astrid came along we just couldn't connect with her or love her like we love Hope." Hayley rambled her eyes widening and her hand covering her mouth.
"What the bloody hell did you do?" Rebekah asked looking from her mother to her friend.
"A simple truth spell, we have a lot of time together. Our granddaughter won't be pulling you out of her until it's time," Esther said.
"Time for what?" Hope questioned quietly.
"Her revenge. From what we can tell, she has something big in mind for you. You won't know what hit you." Andrew spoke, a malicious glint in his eye, his grin was making him look almost shark-like.
"Do unto others that which you would want to be done unto you. You hurt her, made her feel as though she was nothing, it's only fair she does the same." Danielle added, her voice light as if it were the passing breeze.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Jupiter, even though she was finally enacting her revenge felt as if something was missing or more appropriately someone.
She had been missing her mates and family like crazy. She had been seeing Kol and Diana almost every day since they always called for her.
She knew that she would have to call them eventually. She needed their help but she was afraid that they wouldn't love her anymore.
She had left them, albeit temporarily but it was the principle of the matter.
If only she knew that her family were just waiting for her to call. They missed their daughter and younger sibling.
Looking at the unconscious Mikaelsons who were no doubt being tortured by the spirits of her grandparents, Jupiter knew it was time to enact the next part of her plan.
Picking up the phone she dialed the familiar number and put the phone to her ear.
It didn't even ring three times before the familiar voice broke through: "Jupiter?"
Tears filled the woman's eyes as she heard the voice for the first time in three months.
"Hi mom. I need your help." Jupiter whispered.

i really wish i hated you || tsukishima kei
masterlist | 1 | chapter 2  | 3
Tumblr media
pairing: tsukishima kei x f! reader
sypnosis: It was an accident that (Y/N) met a certain tall, blonde male; a memory she isn't fond of remembering, but it is where it all started. And ever since, she magically makes her to his path. The image of the bespectacled man dwelled in her mind more than she thought. Tsukishima pushed away his softer emotions and denied their existence, or at least that's what he told himself. But then, he couldn't believe that this girl he labeled as a clumsy, unlucky creature who smashed his glasses is slowly bringing these strange emotions back to him. She might be irritating and dumb sometimes, but he couldn't get himself to completely hate her. Either that destiny was stupid, or he was blessed or cursed.
genre: fanfiction, fluff
wc: 1881
Tumblr media
(Y/N) stopped her tracks upon hearing his voice and turned around to confirm, but it was true, much to her dismay. He held his black-rimmed glasses with its left lens and frame cracked. The girl's mind went blank. She hesitantly glanced at him a few times, hoping that he would forgive her or let the incident smoothly slide.
He hissed, "Don't think you can get away with this, miss."
She sighed in defeat. The kids approached her with worried looks. She patted her heads, accepting their sympathy. "Well, playtime's over."
"But we haven't finished the game!"
"Do you still want to play?"
"Yes!"
"Next time, when you see me again at the park. Onee-chan has to go now."
She bade goodbye to the children and walked towards the guy she hit with his friend. She looked at his broken glasses again and couldn't help but to let out an exhale with anxiety. This is the result of my stupidity...
"W-What do you want me to do?" (Y/N) slurred.
" I don't know, maybe you should fix it right here and right now." The blonde guy crossed his arms and frowned.
Why don't you just get to the point?
"Replace it."
Of course, she will have to replace it. What a question to ask. She mentally rolled her eyes.
"I'll check there out if there's an optical store, I guess you will have to keep an eye on me so that I won't escape?" She pointed to the nearby mall, walking distance from the park.
"What else? Nobody trusts a stranger."
They reached the town's mall and saw an open optical store, but (Y/N) remembered her wallet. She wasn't sure if there's enough money for her to buy glasses.
"On the second thought, can I buy the glasses tomorrow? I don't think I have enough money."
"No." He instantly replied.
"Tsukki," His green-haired companion interrupted, "Maybe we can give her a chance? What if she's telling the truth?"
"I need my glasses in my everyday life, and if she doesn't have the money, I'll be happy to spare her some, but she'll have no choice to be in my debt."
How merciless. It's not like (Y/N) could blame him, but if the same thing happened to her, she would treat them nicely. She looked around the store to find a pair of glasses exactly like his, as he demanded, with his friend helping her for 30 minutes. After she gets the correct measurements and eye grade, she emptied her wallet to pay for the damn thing,
"Here." She held out the new glasses in the case. "Take care of them, it costed my LAST savings."
He took them and wore them immediately, "I am taking care of my glasses, it's just someone 'accidentally' kicked a ball on my way and knocked them off. Thank you for the horrible experience."
He excused himself and walked away. His friend stayed to talk to her.
"I'm sorry for the way he acted, he's like this most of the times. Please understand," He bowed, shyness evident in his voice.
"It's okay, it was completely my fault, so I don't mind."
"It was an accident, though. Thank you for your generosity." He soon followed the blondie that headed first.
"That was mandatory, though." (Y/N) lightly chuckled to herself.
She got out of the mall to take in the fresh air, but her soul almost left her body when a bolt of lightning strikes a tree near her, setting it on fire.
"Oh, my fucking- Did the sky just attempted to finish me?!" She said, calming herself down and looking up. The clouds were much darker than earlier.
As the townspeople bombed the burning tree with water, she ran to her apartment before it rains. There, she dropped her things on the couch and flopped to her bed, thinking what happened on this day because of her own stupidity. She groaned when she held her now empty wallet.
"Argh! Why am I so unlucky?!"She threw her wallet in frustration.
"That tall, blonde, asshole! He didn't need to embarrass me in front of people! I didn't mean it! He could've waited for tomorrow for me to replace his glasses! He's so unforgiving!" She complained, hating the thought of the said guy.
She sighed, cringe, anger, and embarrassment filling her head as she hugged her pillow.
"May karma comes to him sometime," was her last words before drifting off to a nap.
A few days passed, she went out of the house again to buy food supplies in a convenience store. It was almost nighttime. The chilly wind blew to her face and the sweet scent wafted in the store. She picked up some junk food and meat first before stopping by the confectioneries section. While choosing what shortcake flavor to pick, she bumped into something that almost made her fall to the floor, if she hadn't retained her balance.
"Oof, I'm sorry..."
Or rather, it was a person she bumped into.
She looked up and recognized the face of the man. It was the guy she's kind of mad at, but this time, he didn't have his nice friend with him.
(Y/N) took a step back, "You!"
The male looked back at her, tilting his head, observing the girl. He spoke with a monotonous expression, "Do I know you?"
Her eye twitched in irritation, "He doesn't remember me?!"
"I was the girl in the playground three days ago! I... I replaced your glasses!" She said, hesitating on the next sentence.
"Oh." His eyebrows raised, "Did the midget learned her lesson not to play a sport she's bad at?" He mocked.
"I'm not even a soccer player to begin with! What are you doing here?"
"What? Am I not allowed to buy food in a convenience store like a normal person?"
"I've been buying stuff here and I've never seen a similar face I've met twice in a week or month. That's sus."
"Maybe you are following me."
"What do I gain by following a huge, mean person like you?" (Y/N) retorted.
"Perhaps you want to get back at me after what happened days ago even if it's your fault. I don't know. Ask yourself." He took his eyes off her to choose among the sweet desserts.
She paused, analyzing his comment, "Well, you aren't completely wrong..."
"So, I am being followed? What a stalker."
"Of course not! What you said might be possible, but it's not the case right now!"
Both of them have set their eyes on an item and surprisingly the same one. A strawberry shortcake in the middle of the section. Their hands both grabbed the object before staring at each other in annoyance.
"Let go." They chorused.
"I chose it first." Said (Y/N).
"I do not see your name in it. You let go." He replied.
"How about no?"
They glared at each other for a few minutes before (Y/N)'s brows creased deeper in the middle, knowing well that this guy won't back down. "Whatever, you take it. I don't care anymore."
"Wow, thanks." He subtly rolled his eyes then walked away.
It was very awkward in the cashier where she had to wait behind him. Damn, he's so tall. Does he play any sport? Is he human? Or probably just a walking, mean tree?
What happened in the park flashed in (Y N)'s mind again. The impact of the ball might have been so painful to him since he wears glasses, where it cracked. What if the shards got into his eyes? Her wallet isn't ready for more payments, but that isn't the issue right now. She was worried about his well being. Both of them got out of the convenience store and she called the blonde male before he could get away again.
"Uhh, hey!"
He looked over his shoulder a little, "What?"
"Are your eyes okay? I mean, your glasses cracked... shards could've got inside your eyes..."
"Yes, they're fine, fortunately."
(Y/N) let out a sigh of relief. "That's... good to hear."
"But if something happened to my eyes, I will not hesitate to find you and make you pay for an eye surgery."
"You're exaggerating."
"It's not impossible. Now, go home. Elementary school students shouldn't go past the curfew."
She frowned. If only he wasn't a stranger, she would've kicked his ass to hell.
"Oh, gladly. I wouldn't want to stay near a bootleg Eiffel Tower any longer. Have a good day for you."
The blonde male left without any more words. (Y/N) sighed again in mental exhaustion, having to finish a lot of things this night. She was walking straight to her home while thinking of ideas to put in her current project when she realized that he was still walking ahead in front of her.
Where is he going?
She made her footsteps lighter, not wanting him to think that she was following him. She was thinking where does this guy live or why is he walking the same route as she does. It's not wrong to know where does this asshole stay, right? This continued for a couple of minutes before he turned around.
"Will you stop following me?"
Her eyes widened, not expecting him to know that she was behind him, "Excuse me? I'm just walking to my place?"
"Really?" He narrowed his eyes in suspicion.
(Y/N) looked around to find a way to escape. There, she saw her house that she almost missed because her mind was occupied, "Oh, look. It's my house. I gotta go!"
She waved goodbye to the blonde stranger, ran to her apartment, and slammed the door, dying from the awkwardness. She proceeded to the kitchen to drop the food supplies and to cook for herself as well. The salt in the cupboard reminded her of the rude, four eyes that she just met again minutes ago. That's when she realized, she kept calling him either insults or his evident physical features when he probably has a name. She could've asked for his name earlier, but shrugged the idea off, thinking that he will never give her his name.
The common thing to do after graduating junior high is to find a decent high school. (Y/N) is scheduled to have her entrance exams next week, so she has to spend time reviewing her notes these days. She opted to go to the prefectural library the next day to get further references as she isn't satisfied with the books she has. It was Wednesday, thus it was full of people who are also preparing for their entrance exams. With her stature, it'll be easy to pass in this crowd of people but she will have to ask for help because she can't reach the books at the top of the shelves.
After wandering around the crowded library, she found an unoccupied table to quietly study. She made her way to it, carrying the heavy books she needed that was luckily located at the bottom shelves. As she set the books on the left side of the table, someone did the same on the opposite side. She looked up to see who the stranger is, only to find out that the person isn't a stranger to her anymore.
"Oh, the midget stalker is here."

Tumblr media
Driving the car crane, carrying a blue sedan that you were trying to seize for three days, but the owner was such a dickhead till he finally pissed you off and you had to point him with a gun. Tig told you to do it, even if you've never fired one. His face was worth the risk of being reprimanded by Hale. Danny claps at you, when getting off of the crane, you point your new acquisition with both hands and a huge smile on the corner of your lips.
“Tada!” You say with a melodic voice, jumping one time.
“Good job, rookie”. He says urging you to high-five, giving you the ‘seized’ sticker. 
Very proud of your work, you take it to stick it on the front glass, crossing your arms after it to admire your piece of art.
“Ok, let's pull down this big guy”. Danny palms your back, ready to drop the tow and park the car with the rest.
“Ya’, man, who's that lass?” Chibs steps slow down, some meters away from you, hitting Tig's chest with his palm, actually hurting him.
“What the fuck?!” He yells rubbing himself over the kutt.
“She's (Y/N), the new Teller-Morrow mechanic”. Happy comes from nowhere, scaring both men, with no gesture in his face. “She's like a Pop Tart. Sweet and crunchy”.
“Did you already fuck her?” Tig sighs staring at him.
“No”.
“Then, how 'you know she's crunchy?”
“She broke Juice's nose yesterday”.
The men break in laughter, now understanding why his face looks like shit.
“Wha' happened?” Chibs tries to talk, starting to cough because of the loud laughs.
“She just got scared, 'cause he was behind her in silence”. Happy turns at them, narrowing on of his shoulder, making a move with his head to follow him.
The SOA president has been out of Charming for two weeks, taking care of the gun's business at southern Cali. For you, he was just traveling. The guys talked about him a lot in his absence of the club and you were pretty excited to meet him. At least, he's also your boss. So, when Tig shouts your new nickname making you turn, you go immediately with the same smile on your face.
“What's'ap, boss?” You say placing your hands behind your back, covered by the green jumpsuit of the workshop.
“The president”. He says pushing the man into you, with a singsong voice, making the scottish clicks his tongue.
“Just Chibs”. He adds, offering you a hand in somewhat formal greeting.
“Finally!” You say excited narrowing it, actually feeling a little nervous. “I'm (Y/N), but they call me ‘rookie’”.
“Rooke'”?
“Yeah, like a prospect for the club”. You explain then, getting back your hand with the own other.
“And she likes whisky”. Happy puts a forearm on one of the president's shoulder, taking off the toothbrush of his lips. 
“Really? Ya' wan' one? So ya' can tell me where did ya' come from”. The man offers then, turning an arm to the club entrance, and you obviously can't say ‘no’ even if it's ten am and you just finished the first coffee of the day. You nod in silence. 
Tig and Happy continue their way to the workshop, whilst you're walking by the scottish side with the nerves running through your whole anatomy. Everybody knows the Sons of Anarchy, everybody knows what they do even if they didn't see it. You know you don't have to be afraid, nor scared, but you can't help feeling it anyway. In a gentle gesture, the president holds the door for you, smiling slightly coming in. The club is empty, not even music is being played and it's kinda strange. Maybe they prepared before this meeting, so no one could bother you. 
Even if you have been working for the last two weeks, if Filip decides to fire you 'cause you're not what he was looking for Teller-Morrow, he can do it without needing the support of anyone. You like your job and they pay you quite well, having a very flexible schedule, and treating you like another one of the family. So losing it, it's not an option.
You can see the man turning around towards the bar, grabbing two glasses to serve a whisky from an old bottle. You can recognize it. An special edition of Blue Label of Johnnie Walker. You have never tasted before, but you heard about it. Honey and vanilla are the first nuances you can taste having a sip. Chibs is staring at you with a raised eyebrow, waiting for an opinion. Snapping 
“It's sweet, but bitter because of the citrics”.
“Dammet', lass!” He yells excited, hitting the bar, provoking you a chill. “Its true ya' like wheske'”.
“Yea', I... do”. You nod with pursed lips, seeing him walk towards the sofa.
Sitting there, you doubt for a second carrying a chair next to him and leaving your drink on the table, looking around for a second expecting what he wants to know.
“So tel'me. Where 'ya from, where ya' worken'... All thes' thengs'”. Chibs finally says, placing his whisky above the table, leaning towards you with his forearm supported on his lap.
“I'm from Los Angeles, my father had a workshop too, so it's family business”. You explain yourself, not sure what more you can say about your life. “When he died thr—”.
“'Am sorre'bout that”. The president holds your right hand for a while, narrowing it.
“Yea', life's things, I guess”. His touch is firm, looking at both hands sideway, before continue. “Well, ah... It was three years ago. He left me the workshop, but I was alone and I couldn't do it without help, so I had to sell it. I was working with my uncle, till I decided to move on. And... a friend told me about yours and I said... Why not? So, here I am”.
“Hm...” Chibs nods thoughtful resting his back on the sofa, moving his gaze from one side to another in nowhere.
“Listen, ah... I know it took me three days to seize that sedan, and I have no excuses, but I really like this job. I mean, work here”. You look desperate licking your lips and gesticulating more than necessary, not trying to give pity, but asking for another chance.
“Relax, rooke', I'm not gonna keck'yar ass”. His loud laughter, shaking his chin, infects you chuckling. Not sure if because you want, or because you're doing it to please him. “The bike in the backyard, is yars'?”
“It was my father's. He used to run Cali with it, till he couldn't do it anymore. But it's not working. I have to fix it”.
“You wan'me to help ye'?”
The question takes you by surprise, twisting your neck as a dog would do when he's confused. Until now, you have been doing it by yourself, even though you can take her to a workshop and not worry about it. But someone offering himself to help you it's something new. Not actually ‘someone’, but the Sons of Anarchy president. And your boss.
“Yes, yes... I mean, sure. If you have time”.
“Aye! 'Course, lass. Wha' ya' have is a fuckin' gem! Wha'bout tonigh'?”
You don't say anything, but it sounds like a date. And it doesn't surprised you by the way he had to greeting you, when you two met minutes ago. His fingers were a little shaky and you can swear that even his hand was somewhat sweaty. Finally, you nod before he could start to think that you're kinda dumb, having a sip of your whiskey.
“Ya ken'? I had one simila' when I was younga'”. He comments, seeming like the man wants to continue your talk, but doesn't knows how to do it. “I toured Scotlan' whet'et'”.
“I've never been there, but I saw it in photographs. It's an amazing country”. 
“Aye! Et'e—
Some yells outside call your attention, and you recognize the voice by heart, 'cause you have been hearing it for the last three days. Rolling your eyes and getting up, down by the scottish's gaze following you, you walk towards the workshop with a serious gesture on your face and your arms crossed above your chest. The sedan' owner is there, with Hale by his side. You're fucked. 
“She was! She was!” The blonde man is pointing at you accusatory, seeing how the sheriff rubs his eyes. “That bitch pointed me with a gun!”
“Did you?” Hale asks you with a hand resting in the butt of his own gun, hanging from his belt, and the other hanging by a side of his body.
“No, sir. I did—”.
“You, fucking liar!” The man practically jumps to you, being blocked by the SOA president, hitting him straight to his face.
Everything goes so fast that you can't even react. But the scottish is putting you behind his body, after punch the sedan' owner, with a hand thrown back slightly touching your abdomen. Hale is handcuffing him, growling and cursing at you lying on the ground by the sheriff.
“If you say anything else, I'm gonna accuse you of obstruction, do you hear me?” The cop says putting him down, starting to walk next to the car so his co-worker can sit him inside the car. “Do you want to file a complaint?”
This time is coming back towards you, with a sigh on his lips rolling his eyes. You shake your head, hiding out from Chib's back, frowning at the blonde man.
“Don' worry, sir, it's ok”. You say then.
“Tel'im fi' me that he won't get his car back”.
And without saying anything else, he turns at you placing an arm on your shoulders to urge you start to walking back to the workshop.
┅┅ ┅ ┅ ┅┅
When your turn is already finish, you drive back home the enough time to have a shower and changing your clothes for something more comfy taking into account the plan you are going to have. You're also trying to not think that it's a date, even if it was like it sounded. And you can't help but feeling nervous parking by a side of the yard, frowning missed when you notice the fact that there's only a bike. So, your suspicions get confirmed. Actually it's not something that bothers you, after all you've heard about him. Loyalty, strength, sincerity, self-confidence, kind and polite. And an accent pretty funny. So, why not? 
“Wha' ya' thenken'?” Chibs comes from nowhere, scaring you and making you scream. 
The man starts to laugh loud, while your face becomes rude with pursed lips and a hand on your chest trying to calm your heart beat.
“Jesus Christ...”
“Dammet, rooke', it's true ya're ease' to scare!” You sigh rolling your eyes because of his words. “Com'ere, I've alrede' brought yar' bike”.
“DaMmEt, RoOkE”. You joke on him with a high-pitched tone, whilst he's laughing louder.
“Ya' amaze me, lassie. Dinnae' know you talk scottesh'”.
“What the...?” You find yourself laughing too in a relaxed way after a long time, shaking your head with a sigh, going to the workshop illuminated by some lights.
Turning over your steps you notice that the place is practically empty, guessing that Juice took off all the cars by Chibs' petition, playing fool when you find with your gaze two cardboard boxes from your favorite burger joint. Hiding your curiosity and moving your feet next to the old Harley Davidson, you let your fingers travel over the metallic handlebar. Memories crowd your head, one on top of the other, until you collapse. You still haven't driven it, because your father kept it for almost eight years on his garage, till he left. And it doesn't need a lot of fixes, but you haven't been able to get started before. You couldn't, 'cause it's the only thing you have of him.
“When was the... fers' time ya' ride't?”
Turning to the man, finding him supporting his back against the wall with a big cup of coke in his left hand, sipping from the straw. You shrugs your shoulders, taking the other drink to imitate him with your gaze on the matt black motorbike.
“I didn', yet. Alone, I mean... But by my father's back”. You say almost in a whisper. “I was five years old. We toured Cali coast”.
“Cali coast amaze me, et's a good ferst' ride”. He says then, after some seconds in silence. “Ded'ya by night?”
“Dawn, actually”. You answer with a goofy smile on your lips and your eyes on the drink between your hands, playing with the straw. “I... remember that... my father came to my room, to wake me up saying ‘let's go, bunny, adventure time’! He was very excited”.
It's the first time in years that you're talking about him and Chibs looks pretty curious about it, but you're trying not to break your voice. Smiling sideways, you stare at the scottish man, shrugging your shoulders again, not knowing how continue.
“Why ‘bunny’?”
“I like velocity”.
“Oh, realle'? Wha' bike ded'ya have before et'?”
Your cheeks turning red and your lips pursuing second by second, containing a laugh, makes him raises both eyebrows with curiosity.
“A Vespa...?” You mutters biting the straw, while Chibs laughs again. You're starting to love his laugh, no regrets. “Ah, ah, but...! I have a Mustang, so, boom!”
Your left hand imitates the typical gesture of dropping a mic, getting up from the wall to walk towards the food with innocent air, opening one of the bags with your forefinger and having a quickly look.
“Ya'hungre?” He asks then, following your steps to grab boths bags, twisting his neck in a soft gesture to tell you without words about to have a seat.
So you do, on one of the cair placed on the front yard, next to a corner.
“So, what et' needs?”
“Brakes. I need to change them. Now it has ones that are obsolete and I was thinking to put an ABS”. Leaving your drink between your feet, you take the burger Chibs is offering you to unwrap it on your lap.
“Sounds good. Do ya' have them?”
“Yea', I bought them in LA. And I think could be good change the tires, the oil and the handlebar grips, they're a little worn”.
“Tha's'ease fo' ya'”.
“Yeah, but... I didn't want to fix it, actually?”
“Why?”
“I'm scared to have an accident or something, and destroy it. I don' have anything of my father, but his bike”. Having a bite with your gaze on him, you cover your mouth to keep talking. “So, I just... was telling... myself that I didn't have time... to fix it”.
“But we're gonna do 'et!” Chibs exclaim excitedly, opening his arms for a second and holding the burger and the beer in each hand. “I know yar' father prefers to fac'ap his bike, than keep'et in a garage with dust on 'et”.
“Yea', I think so...”.
━━━━━━ ﹅ ━━━━━━
First, knocks on your door. Then your bell ringing. Palming the mattress till you find your phone to watch the clock, you read all the notifications in the locked screen. There are almost eleven lost calls from Chibs and a lot of messages. And it in silence. You practically jump off of your bed, running as never before to the main door, opening it.
“Finally! Jesus Christ, I thought ya' were dead!” 
“What happened? It's everything ok? Sorry, I just fell asleep an—”. You're talking so fast that your tongue ends up making a mess.
Chibs enraptured looking at you from top to down with a goofy smile on his lips, very interested in the Black Sabbath' shirt you're wearing. Clearing his throat, while your gaze travels to the dark van parked in front of your house. Tig and Juice are taking off of it your motorbike. Pushing him away from you, with your left hand on his chest, you take some steps barefoot above the cesped. You're face shows surprise and confusion, believing for a while that you're dreaming or something like that. 
One of his hands wrap your left wrist, urging you to look at him. You're legs shaking for a second. 
“Ya're prette' with messy hair and tha' shirt, but I wanna ride with ya'”. He says then, trying to hide his excitement.
And you want to hide yours, but you can't. You hug him, but not with a normal one. You're rousing and thankful, surrounding his neck with yours arms leaning on your toes. You know he wasn't expecting by the “oh” he mutters kinda surprised, taking some seconds till he finally is able to wrap your back and your waist pushing you closer into him, resting his forehead on your shoulder. Then, Chibs understands why Happy said like you're like a Pop Tart. He knows it tooks you just one second to make him fall in love with you and that the fact of worrying about your favorite take away restaurant, it wasn't only 'cause you're ‘the rookie’. 
The scottish have a deep breathe from your hair, starting to wish he hadn't, because he's falling a little more. And he can't watch his mouth.
“Ya' smell really good”. He tells you with a husky tone on his voice that bristles the skin of your arms.
“Honey and vanilla”. You mutter with pursed lips, before the man making you a gesture to come in your house.
You nod in a hurry, running back to your room looking for the perfect clothes to drive. A comfy pair of jeans, a vaporous shirt, your boots and a leather jacket. Keeping your principal stuff in a bag and grabbing your helmet, you walk towards the main door sooner as you can. The van isn't there anymore but your bike and Chib's one, close to yours, are parked on the sidewalk. He's already waiting sitting on his, turning on the engine when you're wearing the black helmet before keep the bag under the seat, the scottish stares at you with a hug smile and a dearly gesture on his face.
It has been eight years since you heard your father's Harley roaring, and feeling how your body vibrates on it it's simply amazing. You can't even describe how you feel right now, looking at Chibs with that gesture mixing incredulity and surprise. Pressing the brake, but also the gas, the back wheel squeaks without caring if you wake up your neighbors. 
“Let's go, lass!” 
You release the brake, letting your motorbike rolls above the road with a hoarse growl flying off from the engine, being followed by the scottish. He didn't tell you where you're going, but after five days talking about your childhood in Cali, it's pretty clear that he wants to ride the coast with you after seeing the emotions that provokes you the memories doing it with your father. You know well he wants to be part of it, part of your routine and part of your life. And you're letting him come in 'cause, why not?
You know the road by heart, touring it with the fresh dawn's air hitting your face, till it turns with a salty smell after some hours driving in silence, enjoying the landscape views. You're closer to the ocean and you can feel it inside your lungs, closing your eyes for second. Time enough to make you fly back to your childhood. The sound of the engine, the seagull, the waves breaking. Everything is the same as you remember. But you're not a child anymore, you're ridding California with Filip Telford by your side, who can say that? Only you. And it's not because who he is, but because of who you want him to be for you.
It's sunrising. In the horizon, the sky is mixed with blue, orange and soft pink. It's your favorite part of the day, but now it's different. You're /living/ it, breathing it, enjoying it totally relaxed as never before, with Chibs' eyes on you for a ephemeral instant, fully spellbound. And that's what makes it special this time.
“Don'ya thenk' it's time fo' a coffee?” He asks loud enough for you to hear him. You nod laughing, 'cause you really need it after sleeping for just four hours.
Some mills away, you finally stop in a rest area on top of a small cliff. Taking off your helmet, you walk towards the wooden railings looking down. You're too close of the sea that almost some salty drops splash your face interspersed with the sea breeze. You couldn't get tired of a place like that. The smell of hot coffee pushes you into reality, turning to Chibs so you can hold the metallic mug.
“Maybe I put some Cardhu in'et”.
“Maybe?” You break in laugh, leaning your nose over it.
“When I say ‘maybe’, et's because I alrede' ded'et”.
“So... the other night, at the workshop, maybe it was a date?”
“Maybe”. He nods, blowing his drink, before taking a drink. “Maybe that's the second one”.
“Maybe you already won me, fixing my bike and bringing me here”. Giving him your most smooth smile, you drink too, turning to the ocean while he puts an arm on your shoulders letting you rest your cheek on his. “Maybe you put a lot of Cardhu”.
“Yea', maybe”.

FUCK YEAH WE ARE GETTING THE DARKNESSSHIPPING EPISODES, i already saw them in italian so i think i won't have to much shit to say but if watching them in the dub was such a ride i can't wait the original
No matter what crimes did Malik is still adorable and that's why he deserves instant redemption
Everytime the Ring and the Rod are used they gets some fucking new OP bullshit plot-convenient AND plot-breaking power that is never going to be used ever again
Takahashi, refusing to give his fantasy lore some fucking consistency since '96
Shout out to that animator that makes Mai extra thicc
FINALLY
Tumblr media
Holy shit i thought the "say what you want before the darkness fills your mouth" would have come later??
It's pre-battle instead.......
Bakura stop flirting it won't save you from ass-wopping
Bakura's aggressively smile when he is about to get annihilated by Slifer, i don't know if it's cute or creepy
Also YM recognizing YB was asleep since that duel is oddly funny to me
Like, it's true, Bakura spent a good chunk of BC sleeping, let him rest
Still thinking Ishizu saw both her parents die before her own eyes
Tumblr media
Bakura mocking Malik for killing his own dad maybe seems a dick move at first but it really makes sense after you discover that Bakura never had a father his is past life due him being an child orphan and not only that; Bakura also specifically mocked Atem by dragging his dad's corpse
Bakura simply doesn't give half-shit about fatherhood and only see it as a way to rub the salt in the wound
And that's the 477447646352th reason on why YB and YM would have got along if it wasn't for the hostile setting
"Somehow i thought he (SHADI) was the resurrection of the Pharaoh's soul and that he killed my father"
BRO WHAT THE FUCK? WHY?????? YOU GOT THE WRONG MAN DUDE
But it kind makes his previous criminal actions more understable, he actually wanted to kill Shadi,,,,,, ok
Tumblr media
IS THIS FUCKING REAL
DID YM REALLY SAID "MY PRECIOUS DOMINANT HALF" TO MALIK
TK, promoting selfcest since YB's "it feels amazing inside you landlord ;)"
Keh! How amusing! Do your worst
Me @YM
Tumblr media
BAKURA STOP BEING A DICK TO MALIK HE JUST WANTS HELP YOU
man Malik really deserves better, he is getting so much crap since YM showed up
We are back to Bakura's "what is def mode?" zone
Ok
Just like YM i, too, wish i could use my spell cards whenever i want
INCLUDING MY ADVERSARY'S TURN BC HE SOMEHOW CAN
Yugi and Atem being literal soulmates in Yuge Hotel is still funny to me btw
YM after explaining the "eaten by darkness" thing: Let's do this, Bakura!
YB after listening the "eaten by darkness" thing: Let's do this, Malik!
Even the repetitive dialogue confirms they are meant to be
"Don't be afraid of God, Bakura!"
"Shut up!"
WHY SO RUDE MALIK JUST WANTS TO SUPPORT YOU
Yami "evil genious that sleept way too much in this arc" Bakura: i'm going to do a pro gamer move that no one will ever expect, i will snatch Ra from his hand >:)))))))))))
Meanwhile Mai chilling on beach and making sand castles with her fri-
Yugi is way more interested in finding YY's memories than YY (can't blame him tho, if a ghost lived in my head i too would like to know who the hell he is)
Yugi: maybe your memories are actually hidden in this maze? Are we sure this room really is your in the first place?
Atem: ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,speaking of duels i can't lose, i will win Battle City aibou :) and open the door myself pls don't kick me out landlord
ALSO I'm disappointed that their handshake here isn't as cute as in the ita dub (surprisling)
Here is just
Yugi: i'll fight for you!
Atem: great
Wow such enthusiasm for those lost memories
Why the hell Bakura used Multible Destruction and lost that many life points if he had Dark Designator all along???????
Is this "Bakura is dumb for no reason" time??
Bakura's strategy is already just "i waste all my LP until i win", don't worse it make it worse
The next ep's titled ONE TURN KILL, chkcgkhchc badass title i guess

(( To many to tag so just gonna tag Main: @centralcitysfinest-rp ))
Standing in the Science Lab of the Waverider, Candice debated on what music to put on while she worked. Just as she was about to ask Gideon for some music, a screen near by flicked to life. Looking over at the screen she immediately recognized the man looking at her.
"Gary, to what do I owe the pleasure? I thought our usual D&D game was postponed for this week, or did I miss it? Time gets confusing." Candice said.
"No this isn't about that Candice. At least not this time around. Besides you threw off the whole campaign last session." Gary commented.
"Huh.. almost like when you sent the Legends off in 1980 London." Candice quipped back. Gary adjusted how glasses and gave an awkward chough.
"Right, well anyway I actually called for a reason. Some coincidence that I happen to call you alone in the science lab right?" He said.
"Little creepy when you put it that way." She said watching him. "You do know that if you're creeping up behind me I have no problem torching your ass right?" Candice said.
"I'm not on the Waverider, at least not yet. See the thing is, we actually need you here at the Time Bureau. See we've noticed the Legends have become rather... Well crowded..." Gary said.
"Still not liking where this is going Gary." Candice said as she watched him. Though she did have to admit, he was a bit right, the Legends were crowded on the Waverider.
"Well the thing is in order to help build bridges between the Legends and the Time Bureau, some of you will be working here, present day Central City. You'll be paid, and of course given normal hours. Sort of a nine to five kind of job." He said with a smile as he explained.
"That sounds so corporate. You do know that I like the Waverider for a lot of reasons." She retorted as she grabbed a nearby piece of tech to work on.
"Candice, we're inviting you to help the Time Bureau with tech." Gary said. Looking over she gave a small curious glance.
"Go on." She commented as she watched him.
"We've noticed the stuff you've made. That pistol alone is closer to Rip's pistol than anything our techs could come up with. Plus our time couriers could use some upgrades. You'll get to take them apart." Gary said.
"Fisrt off the Tesla Pistol is a divergent of Rip's pistol, second you're going to allow me to take apart a time courier so I can upgrade them?" She asked.
Tumblr media
"Among building weapons and tech. You'll also be responsible for keeping track of the time map. Might of been thanks to a certain dm explaining how well you kept track of events in our D&D game." Gary boasted.
"Really Gary? You used our D&D game to help convince Ava into giving me access to all of that?" Candice asked.
"Possibly." He replied. Letting out a sigh she looked around the lab. "You still want to stay I know. Candice we need you here. Please help the Time Bureau, your our only hope." Gary said.
"You're not gonna Princesses Leia me. I'm not your Obi-Wan." She said with a sigh. "Look if I'm going to join the Time Bureau, there are a lot of things I need." Candice said.
"A list of demands? Candice I can't promise you will get what you want." Gary said. "I mean if it were up to me I would probably say yes." He added.
"That's cause you're a push over Gary. They aren't demands, you already won me over with the time courier. This is a list of things I need in order to work, and possibly to help whoever else is on my team. Wait who is on the team besides me?" Candice asked as she got sidetracked from her own train of thought.
"Well... Let's see, Rip Hunter will be the leader naturally, You as the team technician, Leo Rivera and Leo Snart as the Field Agents, and someone named Terry McGinnis as a Field Agent and History Consultant." Gary explained.
Candice let out a soft giggle at the fact that the team had two Leos. "Ah yes Team Leo, where you don't know who is who." She joked.
"Candice this is a serious list." Gary said as Candice laughed a bit. "Fia! Focus please!" He said trying to get her to focus.
"I'm sorry Gary, but you have to admit Leo and Leo on the same team is so stupid and funny." She said. Gary let out a sigh as Candice calmed down a bit.
"You had a list of demands you were going to make." Gary said. Candice rolled her eyes as she looked back at the screen.
"Not demands, requests. I need my own lab to work in. Not a small crammed room, I need space to work on multiple projects at once." She explained.
"I think that will get approved, I mean that just seems like a no brainier, but you do know that we won't be able to give you anything to big." Gary said.
"Yeah I know, still nice to have room to spread out. Also this is more for the team than just me, we need a meeting room, something kind of like the study on the Waverider, actually it might be better if I just worked up a floor plan." Candice said.
"This is starting to sound like its own building Candice. Pretty sure we can't get that approved." Gary said.
Tumblr media
"Trust me it won't be as bad as you're thinking. Just wait til you see the floor plan. In any case, I am going to need to be allowed to play music while I work. Nothing worse than being bored while working on a project." She said with a groan.
"I'll run it by Director Sharp." Gary said. "Is that all?" He asked.
"Let's see, meeting room, personal science lab, kitchen, library, relaxation room, bathrooms, ability to play music, I think that about covers it." Candice said. "I will miss Gideon though, and the others...." She added with a sigh.
"We can see if there is a way for you to keep in contact with Gideon and the others Candice. If you draft up a floor plan I will see what I can do about making it a reality." Gary said.
"I guess I should pack up my room. Well what little stuff I have here on the Waverider." She commented. Letting out a sigh she looked back at the screen. Candice could feel her heart sink a bit, she loved the Waverider and the adventure that came with it.
"I uh... I guess we'll contact you... At the very least I have your number from when we started playing D&D together." Gary said. Candice gave him a nod before the screen turned off.
Looking around, Candice grabbed a few of her items before heading off to her shared room with Zari. Peeking her head in, she didn't see the other woman. "Guess that makes this easier." She said to herself.
Walking away Candice got Gideon to make her a box to store her stuff in. Packing up what little she had, few extra clothes, couple of books, as well as some tech she had built in the science lab, she set off to leave the Waverider.
"Guess this is bye for now Gideon." Candice said as she stood at the cargo door.
"For now Ms. Reeves, but I am sure we will talk again soon." Gideon replied.
"I know, but some dumb science lab at the Time Bureau is nothing like the Waverider. I just... I don't know felt more at home here." Candice said.
"I know Ms. Reeves." Gideon said. Giving the frame of the doorway a light punch tap, she looked up at the com.
"Guess I will see you around Gideon." Candice said as the Cargo door open. Turning away, Candice left the Waverider. As she walked away, she gave one last glance before watching the ship vanish into thin air as the stealth plates hid the ship from sight.
Giving it a moment of thought, Candice didn't want to head home cause she didn't want to potentially wake Charlie, and heading to S.T.A.R. Labs would be kind of creepy without Cisco being around.
Digging into her pocket she pulled out her breeching device. Pressing the button a portal opened and she jumped through. There was no harm in heading home for a small bit, besides at this moment, Candice kind of wanted to be around her parents.
Jumping through the portal she landed in the near identical spot on her Earth. Taking a deep breath, she looked around to make sure no one had seen her. "Now to head home." She said as she pocketed the breeching device.
Walking into her parents house, she closed the door quietly. Setting the box of stuff down as she walked in, she noticed some lights on. "Hello?" She called out.
"Candice? What are you doing home?" A female voice called from the kitchen. Candice walked in and gave her mom a small smile. "Sweetie, you were just here not to long ago, aren't the Legends going to be upset with you for taking so many vacations?" Her mother asked.
"Yeah this is just for a little while, not a full vacation like last time. Where's dad?" Candice asked as she took a seat at the kitchen table.
"He's working late, but he should be home soon. So. What is wrong dear? The girl you like reject you?" Candice's mom asked.
"Mom!" Candice said like a teenager that was embarrassed. "I just.. I'd rather not talk about that right this moment." Candice said.
"Oh sweetie, come here let me give you a hug." Her mom said as she walked around to hug Candice.
"Ah gross! Mom hugs!" Candice joked as she hugged her mom.
"So what is wrong. Something is up I know it. If it isn't the girl, then it's your new team." Her mom said as she walked over to the fridge.
"Yeah. I'm going to be on a new new team. Still the Legends, but working for this group called The Time Bureau." Candice explained.
Tumblr media
"Yet you're not happy with the job are you?" Her mom asked. "Aren't they the ones that trapped you in London?" Her mom asked. Candice gave a nod of confirmation. "So why are you working for them instead of being on the ship?" Her mom asked.
"It's a new way to alleviate the crowdedness of the Waverider as well as build bridges with the Time Bureau. I get to be head tech girl for the team, and helping outfit the Bureau with new stuff." Candice explained.
"I get to do a lot of cool stuff for the bureau. I get to take apart some of their closely guarded tech to help improve it and I get my own lab which is nice since I've always been sharing it with someone. However the Waverider afforded me visits to the unknown and being stuck in the present is going to be boring." Candice said.
"It sounds like a more stable job though. One that would afford you more time with that woman you were telling me about last time." Her mom said with a small smile.
"I know and I can go back to volunteering at the hospital for the kids, I missed that while zooming around on the Waverider." Candice said.
The front door opened and a small sound of someone almost tripping came from the main hall. "Lonnie! Why is there a box of crap in the hallway?" A man's voice called out.
"Ted! That isn't a box of crap, that is Candice's stuff." Her mom called back. Though she did give Candice a parental glare at leaving stuff in the hallway.
"Sorry Dad! I thought you were home when I set that stuff down." Candice called out.
"What are you doing home?" He called out as he closed the door.
"Just needed a place for the night. I'll be back on Earth-1 in the morning." Candice called out. "Here let me come move my stuff before you trip again." Candice said as she got up from the table.
Tumblr media
Heading into the hallway, she smiled as she saw her dad. Wrapping her arms around him, it was clear that she caught him off guard. The man gave a soft chuckle before hugging her back.
"Everything okay Candice? This is twice in what? A few weeks?" He asked as Candice pulled away from the hug.
"Yeah, but like I said I'm heading back in the morning, just needed a place to stay for the night, and all my Earth-1 places were just not where I needed to be for tonight." She explained as she grabbed her box of stuff.
"Alright pumpkin, what happened?" He asked her.
"Just got transferred from adventure to a lab. That's all. Mom knows more gonna go put this in my room." Candice said as she headed upstairs.
"Wash up while you're up there! Dinner will be ready in a bit." Her mom called out as she reached the bottom of the stairs.
"Ugh! The worst!" Candice jokingly called back. Reaching her room, she placed the box on her bed before heading to clean up. She didn't really need to eat, but Candice wasn't going to pass up her mom's cooking.
Heading back downstairs she smiled at her parents. "I'd say I'm starving, but I don't lie." Candice joked. Her mom rolled her eyes a bit.
"Doesn't stop you from eating." Her dad joked.
"Look even a nuclear reactor needs fuel and mom does cook some really good food." Candice said.
Her mom slid a plate in front of Candice with a smile. "I caught your dad up on everything." Her mom said.
"So... I have to ask, what is so bad about the Time Bureau?" Her dad asked.
"Well one they have hated the Legends for a while, even getting us stuck in 1980 London for a short time. I mean don't get me wrong, I'm going to go join the Time Bureau branch, but I'm going to miss being able to zip around time." Candice explained.
"You know you didn't used to need time travel to have adventures Candice." Her mom said.
"Yeah well that is cause I worked with the Flash, got kicked off the team, help stop Reverse Flash, sealed up the world ending breech, came back and helped stop Godspeed." Candice explained. "Even then between vanishing and showing back up I was in a new Earth and learning new things." She added.
"Sweetie, you can always learn new things from a stable job like the one at the Time Bureau." Her mom said.
"I know Mom, it's just... I don't know saving time was fun and different. It was learning more about Earth-1 from actual history instead of reading about it in books." Candice said.
"What's wrong with book?" Her dad interjected.
"Nothing dad. It's just what is better, reading history written by the winner of an event, or living through that event in real time?" She asked.
"Fair point, but still I'm sure there is plenty for you to learn from in books." Her dad said.
"I know dad, just I'm going to miss it is all." Candice said.
"There feels like more you're not telling us." Her mom said.
"The Waverider, and the Legends felt like home away from home. We we're all a bunch of people who didn't fit anywhere and oddly enough fit together like a big weird family." Candice explained.
"And you feel like you're loosing that family by being at the Bureau." Her mom commented.
"Yeah.. a bit.. plus the ship has an A.I. named Gideon and I'm going to miss having her around. I asked the Time Bureau if there would be a way for me to keep in contact with Gideon, but stuff has to be approved and what not so I gave them a list of requests." Candice said.
"Please don't tell me you demanded stuff just cause you hate the group." Her mom said with a sigh.
"Mom! I said requests not demands. I plan on working there I just need some things in order to be efficient, my own space to work of stuff hence my own lab to build and tinker with and the ability to play music while I work." Candice said.
"Music can distract you Candice." Her mom said with a sigh. "Don't expect them to hand over that kind of stuff, they are going to have to justify allowing you that kind of freedom. If it comes down to it they might find someone else." Her mom explained.
"Mom, they need me the Legends can make due, Zari is really good at tech for the Waverider, but I built the Tesla gun after getting a glance of Rip's pistol and my speed force knowledge of how to throw lightning. That kind of engineering skills is not something they are just going to avoid just because I asked for some music and my own space to work." Candice said.
"I hope you're right sweetie, I'd hate for you to not get that job." Her mom said. The rest of the meal, they talked about mindless stuff, how things were since she was last there a week ago.
Once they were finished eating, her dad headed off to bed while Candice stayed and helped her mom clean the dishes. "Candice, are you sure you're alright with the job change?" Her mom asked.
"I mean we've already talked about this, I'm having to leave my family for some corporate job." Candice said. Her mom gave a small chuckle at her.
"It's not going to be a corporate job like you say it is dear. If they truly want you to be the head technician of this new team, it sounds like they hold you in high regards. I know another man that wanted to hire you for a corporate job as well." Her mom commented.
"Yeah, but Wells was impressed by my frozen spiders." Candice said with a smile.
"Please don't remind me of those. Do you know how many times I nearly put them in one of my drinks." Her mom said. "And do not get me started on that pet scorpion you had." She added.
"Look you guys bought me the scorpion, not my fault dad got spooked as smashed him with a hammer." Candice said.
"You left him out of his cage. Of course your father freaked out." Her mom said.
"I know, I just left him for a few seconds so I could go to the bathroom. I didn't really he would of traveled so far." She said. "Though I do have to say I was rather impressed by the scream dad let out." Candice said with an amused smile.
"You're dad couldn't speak for a week cause he damaged his vocal cords." Her mom pointed out.
"I know, and I helped be his voice at work that week remember, you guys pulled me out of school so I could help him." Candice said.
"You know, your dad and I worry about you." Her mom said as she dried off her hands.
"I know Mom, I'm okay I promise. I'm still working on the Multiverse phone thing, that way we can stay in contact more often, but it's been challenging getting it to work. Needs more tests and stuff." Candice explained.
Her mom smiled at her and handed over the hand towel. Candice took them and dried off her hands. "Go get some sleep, you have somewhere to be in the morning." Her mom said.
"Mom..." Candice said with a pouting lip. Her mom stared her down and Candice smiled at her. Wrapping her arms around her mom she let out a content sigh. "I love you." She said before heading up to bed.
Her mom smiled at her and returned the words before heading to bed herself. In the morning, Candice grabbed her box of stuff and headed downstairs. She said her goodbyes to her parents before heading out to find a hidden place to breech.
Jumping through the portal, Candice was once more met with the sounds of Earth-1. Letting out a sigh, she headed home to her place, at least long enough to set down the box of stuff. She couldn't lug that around all day.

The Snake Handler (Sweet Pea x Reader) Part 1
Tumblr media
Word count: ~4700 (damn)
Request: Nope, I came up with this all on my own. I should probably mention that Requests Are Still Closed. 
Warnings: Swearing, suspense, Sweet Pea is a bit of a jerk. Other than that nothing for this part I don’t think. Please let me know though if I missed something. 
part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4
A/N: Hi guys. Oh my god it’s been so long since I’ve written anything, and this is my first time writing for Riverdale. I am inspired though, so we’ll see how long this lasts. Let’s all hope my inspiration sticks around for a long time. Unfortunately, as I said above, since my schedule is really busy and I have very little time to write, so requests are not open. Please do not send me any ideas, I won't be able to write them for you :( However, I am more than happy to chat with you, whether about this story, future instalments (because yes, there will be at least two more parts), the show, your favourite food, or anything else you want to talk about. I’m always happy to talk. 
My god it feels good to be back. Enjoy!
The Circle of Life was a dumb choice for a ringtone,(y/n) thought, scrambling frantically for her cellphone. She loved the song, but it was a little embarrassing when it started blasting in the middle of a lesson, causing the eyes of everyone in her Functions class to turn and give her pitying looks. She finally found the device and silenced it without looking, flashing her teacher an apologetic look. Not two minutes later an incessant buzzing began to emanate from her school bag. The teacher shot her a glare, and this time she apologized out loud while pulling the device out of her bag to turn it off properly. When she did, she noticed that while the number was unknown, it had called five times in the last ten minutes. She must have had her phone on DO NOT DISTURB the first few times. It had to be urgent to receive that many phone calls in such a short time frame.
“I’m so sorry,” she apologized, “but they’ve called a few times. I think I should take it.”
Her teacher rolled his eyes. “Alright. Go down to the office after and get it dismissed, or I’m giving you detention for disrupting the class.”
(Y/n) sighed, but nodded her consent. There was no point in arguing. She quickly collected her things, accepting the call as she did so.
“Hello?” She struggled to balance the phone between her shoulder and ear, pick up her bag, and open the classroom door simultaneously.
“(Y/n) (y/l/n)?”
She didn’t recognize the speaker’s voice. “Yes, this is she. Who is this?”
“My name is Penny Peabody. I’m calling about Sweet Pea.”
(Y/n)’s blinked in confusion, and her stomach clenched. “What’s going on? Is he okay?”
She was tempted to ask why this woman thought she was the person to call if something had happened to Sweet Pea, but was too nervous to ask questions if something was really wrong. She could explain to this woman later that she shouldn’t be Sweet Pea’s emergency contact. She barely knew him. They were barely even friends. 
In truth, she didn’t know the biker all that well. The two had met when he had shown up at her house one day unannounced a few weeks earlier. He had looked shocked when she had answered the door, and she realized later that it was because he had been expecting her great grandfather. She explained that he was in a retirement home in Greendale, and that she and her family had moved from their old house into his. It was the family home, and the only way he would consent to going to a care facility was if they promised not to sell it. He had diabetes, low blood sugar, and a bad heart, and they couldn’t take care of him at home.
Sweet Pea, still standing in the doorway, explained that he and his friends were organizing a protest at the Pickens Day Festival, and that they were hoping to interview (y/n)’s great grandfather. His mother was an Uktana who had died during the attacks when General Pickens had come to settle in Riverdale, the town over, and (y/n)’s great grandfather had been put up for adoption and raised by a white family in Greendale.
(Y/n) knew the story, but it was a very painful part of her great grandfather’s life. She told Sweet Pea she would ask him if he would like to speak, but that it wasn’t likely. The tall boy had given her his cell phone number, so she could contact him to schedule a meeting if her great grandfather accepted.
She went to see visit her great grandfather at the retirement home, and explained the situation, and he had immediately refused. He claimed the memories were too painful to relive, and told (y/n) how a small number of Uktana youth had come together to create the Serpents, claiming to be a brotherhood and trying to excuse their life of crime as an act of preservation. He told her to stay far away from Riverdale, that the land was cursed, and that the Serpents were cursed most of all.
In spite of his warning, (y/n) drove into Riverdale a few days later. She got there just in time to see the march, an impressive display of men and women holding signs, and to see a pink-haired girl with a bullhorn explain to a surprised crowd what had happened on the land beneath their feet. Sweet Pea’s eyes had caught hers, and he might have smiled, though it was hard to tell with the wide strip of duct tape covering the lower half of his face. After Hiram Lodge corrupted the rally’s message, leaving (y/n) practically shaking with rage, she found group of protesters and offered to buy them coffee.
“All the coffee shops near here are crap.” Sweet Pea had said, rubbing his jaw where the tape had been hard to remove. Her face must have changed slightly, maybe reflecting her shock at his obvious disdain for the nicer part of town, because he flashed a wolfish grin her way. “How ‘bout milkshakes?”
That was how (y/n) met Toni, Fangs, and Jughead, and how she got the opportunity to thank them for trying to protect her family’s history over a milkshake at Pop’s. They spent an hour chatting and eating, and (y/n) felt things went really well. She was really enjoying spending time with all of them, and found they were nothing like what her great grandfather had warned.
“I don’t understand why my great grandfather doesn’t see what you guys are trying to do,” she said offhandedly, taking a sip of her milkshake. “The gang is clearly a good thing in this town. I definitely owe you guys one for what you did today. This is really good by the way.” There was silence around her, and she looked up slowly to see the four Serpents all staring at her. Crap, she had said something wrong.
Toni brushed the comment off, shooting her a smile. “I know, they’re like crack right? No one makes milkshakes like Pop.”
“What do you mean your great grandfather doesn’t see what we’re trying to do?” Sweet Pea asked sharply, his words stepping on the end of Toni’s.”The gang is clearly a good thing?”
The atmosphere changed immediately. The Serpents all tensed, watching Sweet Pea nervously. He had his hands balled into fists around his glass, and was looking at (y/n) with an expression close to a glare. 
“Come on man, don’t do this,” Fang said quietly.
“Do what?” Sweet Pea asked, dark eyebrows raising. “I’m just asking what she meant.” His eyes never left her face, and his scowl deepened.
She swallowed. “I just mean that he doesn’t really understand what the Serpents are about, that's all.” She hoped he would drop it. She hadn’t meant to offend anyone. 
“We can be pretty misunderstood,” Toni said sympathetically. She was clearly trying to give (y/n) a way out of the brewing fight. Unfortunately, Sweet Pea wasn’t having it.
“What do you mean?” He asked, leaning forward on the table. “What did he say?”
“Nothing.” (Y/n) took a drink of her shake, hoping having her mouth full would get him to back off, but it didn’t.
“Did he tell you we’re dangerous? That we’re a bunch of thugs?”
(Y/n) looked around the table for help. She couldn’t understand how things had gone downhill so fast. Fangs and Toni shot her pitying looks, and Jughead was shaking his head. “Not here man.”
“Shut up Northside.” Sweet Pea growled. His focus was still on her. “Did he tell you that it’s not safe to be around us?”
His eyes were drilling into her, and she didn’t know what to say. “No, he--”
“I knew this was a dumb idea.” Sweet Pea pushed to his feet, getting out of the booth and looming over her. At this point it was very obvious how tall and dangerous he was. Not that she was going to point that out right now. “The only people who hate us as much as the people of Riverdale are the people outside of Riverdale.”
“So, everybody?” Jughead asked sarcastically. Not the right call.
Sweet Pea scoffed and stormed off, shooting (y/n) one more glare as he went. Toni immediately began apologizing, and even offered to pay for the milkshakes, but (y/n) refused. She had offered to treat them, and she had no problem going through with that, in spite of Sweet Pea’s tantrum. The rest of the outing went well, and at the end of it Toni and her exchanged phone numbers, and the girls promised to stay in touch. (Y/n) did not expect to hear from Sweet Pea again, which is why it was so shocking when he phoned her three days later. 
It was around midnight, and she was just getting into bed when she got a call from a number she didn’t recognize. It was late, and she wasn’t expecting a call, so it was with apprehension that she picked up. “Hello?”
“Hey. I don’t know if you remember me, it’s Sweet Pea.” The boy’s tone was clipped, and he sounded out of breath. He was also whispering as far as she could tell.
She wanted to ask why he was phoning her, or how he had gotten her number, but instead what came out of her mouth was, “Of course I remember you.” She sat up in bed, trying to figure out what to say, and how to ask what he wanted without being rude. “Uh, how are you?”
“Look, I’m sorry, I would love to do the small talk thing,” he interrupted, “but I have three cops on my ass and I’m stuck. Remember how you said you owe us one?”
She barely caught the second half of his speech, her brain stopping at ‘three cops on my ass’. “What?”
“I saw a truck at your house that day I came to talk to you about your great grandfather. Is it yours?” His tone was clipped, and his voice was low, like he was trying to avoid being overheard.
She found herself nodding. “Um, yes--”
“Can you get it?”
“Yeah, but--”
“How comfortable are you with driving out to the Greendale border and picking me up?” He apparently only had two tones of voice; curt, and angry. Luckily right now he was using the former, but (y/n) still bristled at it. He hadn’t even apologized for the way he had acted the last time they had seen each other.
“I’m sorry, I don’t feel comfortable--”
“(Y/n),” His voice was still low, but there was less urgency than before. Instead he spoke slowly, like talking to a wounded animal. “I know this is a lot to ask. If you’re not comfortable with it just say so.”
Oh thank god. “Great, because I’m not--”
“You can pay us back some other way.”
She opened her mouth. Then closed it. Then opened it again. She hadn’t realized they would seriously call her in to do some sort of task for them as a favour. What if the next time a Serpent came calling they asked for something worse? At least she knew Sweet Pea, even if their only considerable amount of time together was cut short by him storming off in a fit of rage. “I… Okay. Where are you?”
He told her, giving her instructions on how to find him and what to bring, before hanging up. Still without an apology. Asshole. 
(Y/n) unplugged her phone and went around the house quietly, collecting what he had asked for, then went downstairs. She told her dad she needed to borrow the truck and go for a ride to clear her head, claiming she was stressed for an upcoming test. He gave her the keys and told her to be safe. 
Luckily, her house wasn’t far from the Riverdale border, and she reached the wooden welcome sign only five minutes after answering Sweet Pea’s call. She turned her headlights off, slowed the car down, and pulled into a small parking lot that was used by hikers from both towns. Sweet Pea was waiting, arms crossed as he leaned casually against his bike. She pulled the truck alongside him and he walked walked up to the window, tapping on the glass. She rolled down the window, a little nervous.
“Hi,” she said quietly, not sure what to do in this type of situation.
“Did you bring what I asked?” There was no ‘hello’, no ‘thank you for driving out here in the middle of the night’, nothing. Just a curt demand while he shrugged out of his serpent jacket.
“Yeah,” she nodded, grabbing the articles in the passenger seat. “Here you go.”
He took the bundle from her, still without a thank you, and handed her the jacket. “Don’t touch the patch.”
She held the leather gingerly, using just the tips of her fingers, and deposited it on the seat beside her. When she turned her attention back to the window Sweet Pea was adjusting the hem of the large hoodie she had brought him, tugging the hood up to hide his face. He picked up the other bundle off the ground, tucked it under his arm, and went back to his bike. She watched him roll it to the back of the vehicle, and realized she should probably get out and help him get it into the trunk, but when she reached for the doorknob she heard the back of the truck slam shut. He must have managed to lift the bike by himself. He came around to the passenger side, waiting until she unlocked the door before climbing in.
“Thanks,” he said finally, adjusting the edges of his sweater until the top half of his face was completely hidden. “I was totally fucked if you said no.”
“It’s not a problem,” she said instinctually, even though it actually was a bit of a problem. Riverdale had a reputation for being dangerous, and everyone from Greendale tried to avoid it if they could. She didn’t really appreciate being called to perform favours for bikers. “But, why did you call me? Wasn’t there someone else? Another biker?”
Sweet Pea shrugged. “Not really. The cops are watching the road, so no one from  Riverdale would be able to get out here without being seen. And the Sheriff knows most of the Serpents’ faces, so you were pretty much the only one they wouldn’t be looking for. And you’ve got the truck.”
“Oh. Uh, I guess that makes sense.” (Y/n) wanted to tell him that she didn’t really want to be involved, and for him to not call her again, but she couldn’t. She tapped a nervous beat on the steering wheel, unsure what to do now. “You couldn’t ride your bike?”
“The cops shot out my tire.” He shrugged, reaching for a half-full bottle of water in the cupholder between them. “Do you mind?”
“They shot at you?” Her eyes were wide. “What were you doing?”
Sweet Pea blinked at her, looking a little alarmed by the volume, and picked up the bottle without asking again. Once he had emptied it, making a face at how warm and stale it was, he turned his attention back to her. His eyes widened at her shocked face. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
Her mouth opened and closed, and she was still openly gaping at him, completely baffled by the thought of being shot at, and then shrugging it off like it was nothing. Eventually she decided that the only way to respond was to put the car in drive and back out of the parking lot without a word.
Sweet Pea shrugged, he wasn’t that big of a talker either, and settled low into the seat. “Do you know how to get to--”
“Are you okay?” The words burst out of her, a question that couldn’t be held in. She was genuinely concerned. Her gaze flicked to look at him, and then shifted immediately back to the road when she caught him staring at her.
“I’m fine.” He said it almost like a question. “Why wouldn’t I be okay?”
“Because somebody shot at you.” She looked again from the road to him, and then back. “And no, I don’t know where I’m going.”
Sweet Pea laughed. “You think this is the first time someone has shot at me? Just head straight down this road, I’ll tell you when to turn.”
Her look was so genuinely shocked, his first question such a foreign concept to her, that he laughed again, and dropped his bluff. “Alright, I guess I haven’t been shot at as much as you would think, but I’m fine. The cops were aiming for the tires, they weren’t trying to hit me.”
She was still gaping at him. “You’re insane.”
“Yeah, probably.” Sweet Pea didn’t seem upset about it. “But at least I’m not-- Shit.”
(Y/n) tensed, seeing the flashing lights of a cop car pulled over further down the road. Her heart immediately began hammering in her chest, blood rushing through her head. Her hands tightened around the wheel so they wouldn’t shake, and she slowed down instinctually. Sweet Pea had dropped low beside her, tugging to hood further over his face, but he caught sight of her nerves.
“Calm down.”
“I can’t!” Her voice was shrill. “What the hell was I thinking coming to get you? You were obviously doing something illegal, and now I’m an accomplice. And you were such an asshole last time! Plus you're a biker. My dad--”
“Relax,” he said again. She felt heat against her knee, and looked down to see his hand resting on her leg. “Eyes on the road.” Her eyes snapped back up, but the warmth remained. “You’re doing nothing wrong okay? You’re just going for a drive with a friend who passed out in the passenger seat. The cops aren’t going to stop you.”
“How do you know?” She asked, still nervous.
He chuckled. “You’re wearing a Lilo and Stitch shirt, and pants with giraffes on them. And slippers. Trust me, you’re not the type of person they pull over.”
(Y/n) opened her mouth to protest again, but there was no time. He gave her knee a final squeeze, then tucked his hand into the pocket of the sweater and dropped his head onto the passenger window. Then they were passing the car, which had one cop standing beside it. (Y/n) had slowed down the car in her panic, so they cruised by at an almost painfully slow pace, giving her the opportunity to see not only the officer standing by the police car, but also the two other officers who were off the side of the road, flashlights focused on the ground. (Y/n) made eye contact with one of them for a second, and then they were past.
Sweet Pea breathed a sigh of relief beside her. She jumped. Somehow she had all but forgotten he was there. He had been so still, and she had been so lost in her own head. She looked over to see him tug the hood off his head and run a hand through his hair, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. She wanted to ask him what was so funny, but when he met her gaze a giddy laugh escaped her own mouth. Soon they were both laughing, and she rolled down the windows so they could enjoy the rest of the drive in comfort.
“You did good.” Sweet Pea said eventually, giving her a smile, his hand tugging at his hair again. “I almost expected you to turn me in.”
“I thought about it.” There was a matching smile on her face. Now that they were laughing together, she felt a strange sense of comradery with the gangster boy. Maybe that was what commiting crimes did to a person. “We drove by too fast.”
Sweet Pea let out a booming laugh at that, his left hand finding its way back to her knee. “Honestly I would have been fucked if you had. So thank you.”
“No problem.” she slowed down as the car reached an intersection. “Alright, how do I get to your house from here?”
“Turn right.” He shifted in his seat, and she glanced over at him. “Look,” he sighed, “I’m sorry for being such a dick at Pops the other day.”
She blinked in surprise. “Really?” 
He nodded. “I’m sick and tired of this town treating us like shit, but it wasn’t fair to blow up on you. Especially since you were trying to say you disagreed with all that.”
She blinked at him again, her lips twitching as she held back a smile. “Just don't do it again.” She tried to sound stern, but it didn’t really work.
“Don’t tell me what to do.” He glared at her for a second, then winked. 
They spent the rest of the ride chatting in relative comfort while Sweet Pea gave her directions. He asked her about school, and explained how he had been transferred to Riverdale. She asked how he was doing with the transition, and offered her help if he needed assistance with any of his classes. That was when she found out Sweet Pea was actually incredibly smart. If anything, she was the one who would need his help. Especially for things like functions, which she couldn’t wrap her head around for the life of her. He offered to help if she needed it. 
By the time she pulled up in front of his small trailer she could confidently call the two of them friends. Ignoring his protests, she got out of the truck and attempted to help him get the bike out of the back. She ended up just standing there uselessly while he did all the work.
“Thanks for the help,” He teased, smirking as he wheeled the bike closer to the trailer. “Did you just get out of the car to give me a better view of the pyjamas?”
She rolled her eyes, but a blush heated the tips of her ears anyways. The pyjamas in question were pink, and had giraffe faces on them. She had gotten them as a Christmas present. “Shut up. I was holding your jacket, I didn’t want to get it dirty.”
“Right.” He nodded, faking seriousness. “Speaking of, gimme that.” He held out his hand, and she handed him the leather jacket. “You wanna come inside and get a snack or something?”
She shook her head. “No, I should probably go, it’s getting late.” She pulled her phone out of her pocket to check exactly how long she had been out for. “Fuck!”
Sweet Pea’s eyebrows jumped as she swore, and he struggled to suppress another smile. “What’s wrong?”
“I forgot how low my battery is, and I need to use the Map to get back home.”
“Why did you let the battery get so low?”
“It was plugged in to charge until you phoned me!” She cried. She was nervous now, she really didn’t know Riverdale that well, especially not this area.
“Woah, calm down, I was just teasing.” Sweet Pea chuckled. “Come inside, you can charge your phone for a bit, and then you can go home.”
She really didn’t want to stay in this area any longer than she had to, but she couldn’t see any other choice. “I guess...”
“I’m not taking no for an answer” Sweet Pea started walking towards the house, turning to see if she would follow. “Look, I owe you one for coming to get me, and I’m not going to let you drive through this part of town if you don’t know where you’re going. I would take you home myself but the cops will stop me if I’m on my bike.”
“You owe me one?” She asked. “I thought coming to get you was me doing you a favour to pay you back for the rally.”
“I just said that cuz I was being an ass.” He at least looked slightly apologetic about it. “You don’t owe us anything. Now come on, I’m ready to call it a night. I’ll make some tea while we wait for your phone to charge.”
She was angry that he had guilted  her out of bed, but was distracted by his last sentence. “Tea?” She asked. Who was this guy? She had no idea how to pin down his personality.
He shrugged. “I got shot at tonight. Tea soothes me. Come on.”
She followed him inside. They talked a little more, drinking peppermint tea. Twenty minutes later (y/n)’s phone was sufficiently charged, and Sweet Pea watched her type in her address, pointing out one street she should avoid on the drive back. Then he walked her to the door, and as they stood on his front porch he tugged off the borrowed hoodie.
“I almost forgot, this is yours.” He handed it back to her, and she bundled it up in her arms. “You have my number right?” She nodded, suppressing the urge to shiver. It was cold, and she was ready to go home.
“Okay,” he nodded, and his hand went through his hair again. It was starting to look a little distressed from all the tugging. “Text me when you get home alright?”
“Why?” She asked, genuinely confused by the question.
He chuckled. “Because I would feel guilty if something happened to you because I phoned you to come pick me up. Just, just text me, okay?”
She agreed, and finally he let her leave, after walking her to her car and sticking his head through the window to make sure she had enough gas to make it home. Eventually she flicked his forehead to get him to back off.
“I’m fine.” She said, looking at him through the open window. “I’ll text you when I get home.”
“Alright.” Sweet Pea nodded. He tapped his hands on the window frame.
“Sweet Pea?”
“Yeah?”
She laughed. “You need to let go of the door and back up so I can leave.”
“Right!” He nodded again, and it was hard to tell in the dim light, but she was pretty sure he was blushing. “Right. Sorry. Alright, thanks again for the ride.”
“No problem.” She gave him another smile. “Good night. Try not to get shot at anymore okay?”
“Okay,” he nodded, laughing. “Good night (y/n). Drive safe.”
She had texted him once she got home, and in the two weeks since that incident they had texted a couple more times, and she had been invited to watch one of Riverdale’s basketball games, which Fangs and Sweet Pea were a part of. After the game Sweet Pea had come up and given her a sweaty hug, claiming it was initiation. As an apology, Toni invited (y/n) to get milkshakes at Pop’s with the group.  She ended up sandwiched between Toni and Sweet Pea, who kept dipping fries into her shake. They stayed out a little late, and Sweet Pea followed her home on his bike to make sure she made it home safely. He walked her to the door, and before she went inside he had looked like he wanted to say something. The moment passed, she went inside, and his bike rumbled away. They hadn’t talked in the four days since then, though (y/n) had been tempted to text him. But she didn’t want to be weird, or pushy, and so she let the silence stretch.
And now a woman was on the other line claiming to be calling about Sweet Pea, and she was incredibly nervous.
“He’s fine.” The other woman said, and (y/n) breathed a sigh of relief. It was like a weight had been lifted off her chest. “I think. But I haven’t been able to get in touch with him for a few days, and I’m worried. I’m his aunt, and his guardian, and the last time we talked he mentioned you.”
“Oh.” Now (y/n) was nervous again. “I haven’t talked to him in a few days, but to be honest we’re not that close. Have you tried Toni, or Fangs? They seem to be together a lot.”
“I have,” Penny sounded upset, and (y/n) started to feel guilty, even though she had no reason to. “They both said he told them he was with you.”
That was weird. “I don’t know why he would say that. But honestly, he isn’t--”
“Are you busy right now?” Penny interrupted.
(Y/n) looked at the clock. She still had thirty minutes left of this class, and one more before the end of the day. “Actually--”
“I’m just really worried about him. Last time he disappeared like this we found him three days later, overdosed in a hotel room, and he’s been drinking lately, and pushing his friends away. I’ve seen this spiral before, but it seems like he trusts you.”
(Y/n) was trapped. She tried to think of some excuse, then felt a wave of guilt at how selfish she was being; Sweet Pea might be in trouble, and she was worried about getting detention. “I’ll try phoning him.”
“No!” Penny’s voice was loud, and urgent. “Don’t call him. If he knows I’m looking for him he’s gonna run, or do something reckless. Do you know where the tattoo parlour on the south side is?”
“Which one?” (y/n) asked. She had passed two when driving Sweet Pea home, and he had implied there were more.
Penny laughed. “Smart girl. I’ll text you the address.”
