Hit the pedal, heavy metal - Part 2
Summary: Dustin asks you to pick him up at Hellfire that night, since Steve can't make it, and maybe that way you'll meet his friend… Eddie.
Words: 1.025.
Warnings: ¿Inuendos? I don't know.
A/N: Thanks to everyone who reblogged, I love you all very much. I'm sorry it took me so long to do the next part, I've been working and I've been full.
The first part here → Hit the pedal, heavy metal
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Classes had started at Hawkins, which meant that the atmosphere was much calmer, especially after hearing the strange news that was going around.
They didn't sound very sane.
"You did what?" Robin seemed surprised after you recounted what happened during the end of the summer.
"Well, yeah, I went with some friends from my other school. There was a battle of the bands at a bar and I smoked with a stranger…" Steve not only looked at you with surprise, but also placed his hands on his waist.
Seeing him reminded you of a mother, maybe he had been a mom in his past life.
"Y/N you're crazy…" Robin laughed after shoving a scoop of chocolate ice cream into his mouth.
"Sounds like a dangerous and very irresponsible thing to do to me…" Steve blurted out amidst the laughter from both of you, "... Besides, who would be capable of calling their son Kaz?"
"Oh, shut up, Harrington" they both said in unison.
"What? Dangerous people are real, plus that description you gave sounds familiar…" Steve looked at you for a couple of seconds, while making that dumb face at the thought, "… I think I heard it from Dustin, only your version is PG-13, with someone who wants to look like a mysterious vampire."
Steve just went to attend to some girls who had arrived. He turned one last time to speak to you.
"Tell me we won't go through the plot of My Best Friend Is a Vampire, please..."
You stared at him as he left, Dustin was your neighbor and had never seen him with a guy with that description, and you doubt he was friends with someone like Kaz.
"Dustin, please…" you said as you walked beside him, "…you want me to go on a campaign of what? D&D?"
"Yeah, besides that way you know Eddie" Dustin was always telling you about that friend who was quite the master when it came to D&D and his campaigns, the truth is you always pictured him as Mike, but with acne and maybe gelled hair.
You laughed, thinking that could be real.
Anyway, you would end up in a basement of some house with underage kids, fans of whatever that game was...
Which would mean that, if you accepted that proposal, your days of bullying Steve for being the babysitter of choice would be over.
Over your dead body, you were going to let those days end.
"What about Nancy?" You asked. "Robin?"
"They're working now, they don't have time for anything, and Nancy is not a fan of D&D" Your chances of accepting seemed to increase, but not before hearing from Dustin that you was the only one who could accept.
"And what about Steve..." but Dustin shook his head and stopped.
"Eddie and Steve don't get along, I think Steve is jealous that Eddie is now my friend..." he smiled somewhat proudly after he said that.
You didn't agree to accompany them during the campaign, as you knew it would last for hours, but you could go and look for him when it was over.
What could happen? You ended up walking home alone, as Dustin sped off.
It was late at night, you knocked on the door of one of the old houses in Hawkins that Dustin pointed out to you, it looked a bit abandoned, and you wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to play a joke on you.
But a boy no more than 15 years old opened the door.
"Who are you?" he asked you in a rather serious tone, the boy looked you up and down as if he were a policeman.
"I'm here to pick up Dustin..." you raised an eyebrow.
"Magic word?" The boy narrowed his eyes, waiting for the answer.
You looked down at your hand, where you had written down in marker the password for the week that Dustin had given you, "Holy Sword…"
The boy smiled and opened the door for you.
"Welcome to Hellfire, miss." The house smelled funny like candy, Cheetos, soda or maybe old beer, and you didn't know if the other unidentified smell was vomit or old carpet or maybe wet carpet.
"Hey Eddie, a girl is here…for Dustin." The boy sat back down on what appeared to be a pillow.
Dustin waved gently at you, as did Mike and Lucas. The old manual dropped on the table, revealing the mysterious identity of the Dungeon Master.
Long tangled hair, the same look only without eyeliner, and he was wearing a t-shirt that said "Hellfire Club".
The two looked at each other in surprise.
"Kaz?" you whispered as you heard his name, his real name, "So you're Eddie?"
"Angel…" he replied in surprise as he quickly stood up from the old chair.
"Oh, so you two already know each other…" Dustin smiled, as Mike began to piece together what was going on, he had overheard Nancy talking on the phone with you a few nights ago.
Girl talk, grown-up girl talk.
He looked at Dustin with a look of displeasure on his face. The others in the club were waiting for a response, not only from the two of you, but the reason Mike had that expression on his face.
"So you're Henderson's little neighbor…" he walked around you, as if he were an animal analyzing its prey.
"And you, the excellent dungeon master?" you searched his eyes, once he had finished analyzing you up and down, just as he had done that night. "So this is what you do, when you're not…"
But he didn't let you finish, he leaned closer, smirking mischievously and took your hand and kissed it, taking you by surprise.
"I am at your service… soul and body… my lady."
You could hear the emphasis on the word body perfectly, after he kissed your hand. And his gaze gave a clear message, too.
He didn't take his eyes off you for a few seconds and his mischievous smile stayed too.
Mike and Dustin told you they were ready to leave, so you waved goodbye to Eddie as he bowed.

Hello! Was hoping to request a Thackery Binx x reader (male or gender-neutral :) I’ll let you decide). The reader was apart of the whole Sanderson sister ordeal and helped turn Binx from a cat to a human, and binx has had a crush on them since then. Reader gives Thackery his first kiss ^_^.
Thank you!!!
There’s A First Time For Everything
YOU GUYS I AM SO SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG TO GET THIS OUT. i was almost done, but then it deleted itself. so i started again, and then school got super rough for me. then i got sick and missed some school which made school hard again and then i got busy and then i got writers block and then and then and then… BUT ITS OUT NOW AND THAT’S WHAT MATTERS. I REALLY HOPE YOU LIKE IT!!!
summary: just the request! (gn!reader)
words: 1,539
warnings: possible spoilers for the movie if you haven’t watched it yet and are planning too, one mention of making out, other than that i don’t think there’s anything warning worthy
a/n: okay, i had to change something in order for this to make sense. so this is what i came up with. when the sanderson sisters turn to dust, thackery just turns to a human rather than his “soul being set free” or whatever, and he continues to live a normal human life afterwards. also my inbox is now empty! be sure to check the characters i write for and make a request! it won’t take this long to get out i promise lol
It was over. It had really only taken a couple of hours, but it felt like it’d taken years. You, a virgin, his little sister, his girlfriend, and this random talking cat you found in an old abandoned house had just defeated 3 witches who were trying to steal the souls of children. Crazy, right? They’d turned to dust no more than a couple of seconds ago, and you felt the biggest weight ever lift off of your shoulders. No more witches, or zombies, or black flame candles. As you took a deep breath and tried to process all that had happened, you realized that you didn’t see a certain black cat anywhere. You took another breath, and then walked around the cemetery you were in trying to find him.
You’d barely started looking when all of a sudden you heard Dani scream. You rushed over to her to see what had happened, and gasped when you saw her standing next to a tall, blue eyed boy, with dirty blonde hair, who seemed to be about your age. He was wearing what looked like bedsheets, and was barefoot. You’d never seen this man in your life, and you had no clue who he was or what he was doing in a cemetery at 5:30 in the morning.
“Who are you? What are you doing here?” you said worried, pulling Dani so she was behind you. By now, Allison and Max had heard the ruckus and had come to see what was happening. They too were shocked to see someone new in the cemetery. “It’s me, it’s Thackery! Thackery Binx!” he said, throwing his hands up as to tell you he didn’t mean any harm.
You were too busy to realize Max and Allison also behind you, so you were startled when Max finally spoke up. “The curse! The curse the Sanderson sisters put on you is broken! You aren’t a cat anymore!” Max ran to give Thackery a hug, during which Thackery looked a mix of confused, shocked, nervous, yet also happy. It had been over 300 years since he, as a human, had hugged another human. Allison ran over to join in the hug, followed by you, followed by Dani. The group hug lasted longer than any other group hug you’d ever been a part of, but deep down you wished it never ended. You knew these were your friends, the best you’d ever had, and would ever have.
When everyone pulled out of the hug, Max and Allison started asking Dani a million questions “Are you okay?” “Are you hurt?” “Are you scared?” “Why did you scream? You really didn’t have to scream.” Thackery just kind of stood there, looking at his hands, his legs, feeling his hair and his face, almost as if he still didn’t believe he was no longer a black cat. He had the biggest smile on his face, the biggest you’d ever seen on anyone. He laughed a little, too happy to contain it. He suddenly looked up at you, and if at all possible, smiled even bigger than before. “You know...” he started, all while admiring every facial feature on you he couldn’t quite see from cat height. “Your face, your smile, your eyes... they’re all so beautiful. I hope you realize that.” and then proceeded to pull you into a hug, just the two of you.
It felt like you were the only two people in the world in those couple of seconds. All noise seemed to fade away, even though Dani was screaming like a crazy woman at Max for being too over-protective. You never thought you’d feel this way towards someone who was a cat just moments ago. Your entire journey he was nothing but a friend, a brotherly figure, a helpful guide. Now, something had changed. His appearance had changed drastically, but that wasn’t it. You just never realized how sweet, adorable, and happy he was before.
This only became more evident over the next few months. You, Max, and Allison had spruced up the old Sanderson house for him to live in, gotten him enrolled in school, and taught him everything he needed to know about how to live in modern times. While he was best friends with Max, Allison, and even Dani, he too just felt something different towards you. You two would always hang out in his new home. You’d go out and do stuff, just the two of you. It was just, different. That’s the only was he knew how to explain it.
Not long after he became human, you two had started something you liked to call “Thackery’s List of Firsts.” It was a check list with everything you, Max, and Allison thought Thackery just NEEDED to do since he was a human now. Some things on the list were silly, and only on there to joke around. Like, “Thackery’s first steps” which had been put on there by Max. Another hit was, “Thackery’s first time playing jump rope” which had been put on there after Thackery nearly lost all his limbs and both eyes all while playing with Dani and her jump rope. Another thing put on there, by Allison this time, was “Thackery’s first kiss.” She just knew you two liked each other, and had to do something about it. It was little, but she hoped that maybe it would give whoever saw it first a little push to finally say something.
So now, we’re here. It was a Friday night in February. It was chilly outside and you two were wrapped in blankets by the fireplace in the Sanderson house. You were looking through the house to find something to do, and stumbled across the list of firsts. “Thackery! We should find something to cross off your list!” You said as you sat back down next to him near the fire. You started flipping through the pages, trying to find something you could just check off really quickly. “We have frozen chicken nuggets. I don’t get why ‘Thackery’s first chicken nugget’ isn’t crossed off yet.” You giggled after you’d said that. You remember when Max had written it down and Thackery went off about how he refuses to try one because they look like rubber. “They look like rubber!!” He shouted, starting to laugh after he’d said it, just because you were laughing. Your laugh made him so happy, he couldn’t not laugh along with you. “Well, what about, ‘Thackery’s first time riding a bike?” There was a scared look on his face. “Those things look like death traps.” He said, completely serious. You started to laugh even harder than before. “Okay, okay, not today. What about...” You were scanning the pages once again, looking for something quick, safe, and easy. Suddenly, you saw what Allison had written down.
“What about ‘Thackery’s first kiss?’ When do you plan on crossing that one off?” You teased him. “I still can’t believe you’ve never kissed anyone.” He blushed, and went on one of his adorable little rambles. “Well, I don’t just want to kiss someone to say I’ve kissed someone. I want it to mean something. I want the person to be special and I want something special with that person, before and after I kiss them. I don’t want just a hit and run, I want someone who really likes me, loves me even. There is this person I’ve been thinking about. Their hair is so...ugh. And their smile, and their eyes, and their face, and their sense of style, and their jokes, and their laugh. And they’re so kind and they’re so special to me. But I could never kiss you because I don’t wanna ruin the friendship I have with you.” All it took was his one little slip up, and you were sat up straight with your eyes wide and the dumbest, goofiest smile on your face. He felt the same. He felt the same and he had just admitted it.
“You do realize what you just said, right?” You asked, still staring at him. He looked confused. “No, sorry, you know how I get. I start to talk and then I start rambling and then I just don’t even know what I’m saying anymore and then-“ You cut him off by pulling him closer to you and kissing him. It wasn’t a long kiss, or a heavy make out session. It was a sweet, short, yet meaningful kiss. You pulled back, and quoted his words from before. “You know, I really like you. Love you, even.”
The next time you’d gotten together with Max and Allison, which was a couple days later, you guys were looking through the book. Allison flipped through the pages, checking to see if the one she’d put down had been crossed off. The second she saw the check mark in the little box next to it, she screamed. “OH MY GOD!! Y/N AND THACKERY KISSED. I’M A GENIUS. I KNEW IT. YOU GUYS ARE SO STUPID.” she went on like that for a solid couple minutes, all while Max looked like he’d seen a ghost and you and Thackery held hands under the table the four of you were sitting at.
OH MY GOD ITS FINALLY OUT. PLEASE REQUEST SOMETHING AND HAVE AN AMAZING DAY! I HOPE YOU ENJOYED!

Soulmates - A Demetri Volturi x Reader Imagine
A/N: This is the first imagine I finished and uploaded, and it came quite unexpectedly while talking with @volturidoll13 who suggested a Demetri Volturi one-shot where the reader would follow Bella and Alice to Italy and would accidentally say “wish he’d choke ME” out loud (see my post for reference). So, here it is. Also, I’m sorry if something doesn’t make sense. English is not my first langage. Enjoy :)

I think I had enough of Bella. No, I know I've had enough of her. She may be my best friend, the one who truly understood me the moment I stepped foot in Forks High School, beginning of last year, but this was just too much.
I have spent countless hours trying to support her when Edward Cullen left her, 5 months ago. I was there to be her emotional support, and even spent time with Jacob Black, an old friend of Bella's, who stayed at the Quileute reservation.
Jacob seemed kind of polite, although his attempts to flirt with Bella whenever he could were cringy, to say the least. But I supported her then too, trying to be sort of the third wheel / the one who tried to show Jacob she wasn't really interested in him that way.
His friends, Embry and Quil, were as nice and polite as they were beautiful. When Embry abandoned Jacob and Quil, Bella and I were there to support him. When Jacob abandoned Bella, I was there to support her. 
Even when Bella was sad, angry and desperate to know what happened to Jacob, I was there to calm her down. I was there when she went to see him and he turned her away. I was there when she slapped Paul in the face. I was there when he turned into a huge wolf, and I couldn't help but scream.
Jacob explained everything about the wolves to both Bella and I. He told us how it's part of their DNA; how they are meant to protect the tribe from dangerous outsiders; how the metamorphosis from human to wolf can be somehow controlled over time, with practice and persistence. THAT I could understand.
What I couldn't understand was how vampires existed in this world! It wasn't Bella the one to reveal that secret to me, rather Alice, Edward's sister. Apparently, she saw Bella dying, the day she supposedly went cliff-diving, which I told her not to, having a severe fear of heights myself.
Bella took the risk, and if it weren't for Jacob, she would most likely be dead by now. That's what Alice said she "saw" - she explained to my incapable self that, as a vampire, she had a gift, the gift of predicting the future, based on others' decisions. 
All this information was overwhelming me. I could swallow the harsh reality of wolves existing, but vampires, too? It seemed too much for me in such a short period of time.
Alice quickly explained some basics to me, like the fact that the Cullens were vegetarians, but the majority of their kind fed on human blood, as well as the fact that they even had a sort-of-government of vampires, residing in Italy, the Volturi.
She then turned to Bella to scold her about her recklessness and how she was prone to "life-threatening idiocy". I couldn't agree more with the short brunette right now. Bella has been nothing but reckless the last few weeks, and she was putting her life in danger for no reason.
They were talking about Edward or whatever, but I wasn't paying any particular attention until Jacob showed up. I decided to give them some space to talk, and Alice followed behind me, stepping out of the house.
Her face was a mix of disgust and worry, not paying any particular attention to me, probably trying to hear Bella and Jacob's conversation from the kitchen. After a minute or two, I heard her taking a sharp breath, her eyes fixating on nothing in particular; they were just staring ahead of her.
She took a sharp breath, as she regained consciousness, stepping quickly into the house. She walked in quite wide and quick strides, considering her miniature figure, and, though taller than her, I had some trouble following behind her.
She ran directly to the kitchen. "Bella. Bella, it's Edward. He thinks you're dead. Rosalie told him why I came here."
They both looked at Jacob; Bella practically screaming to his face, accusing him of not giving her the telephone to speak with Edward herself.
"Bella, he's going to the Volturi. He wants to die, too." The small brunette continued.
Within a minute, Bella made her decision: she was going to Italy to save her ex-lover. She promised us that she would just make sure he lived, and then, she would go back to her "boring" life.
Alice ran outside, starting her car immediately, as Bella was followed closely by Jacob, who tried to convince her not to go, pleading with her, all in vain. Bella was as stubborn as she could get, and nobody could change her mind. 
I turned to Jacob, without really thinking about my next words. "Don't worry. I'll go with her. I'll make sure she's back safe, okay?"
All Jacob could do is nod at me, though his face was full of concern, frustration, and he was clearly distraught by Bella's decision to leave him and save Edward. As if all this time she, Jacob and, sometimes, I spent time together meant nothing to her.
I jumped in the back seat of the car, not waiting for either Bella's, or Alice's approval. I knew it would be a huge risk for me to go to the vampires' lair, but I also knew that Bella could use all the emotional support she could get. 
As much as I hated Edward for what he did and said to her, I knew that he was everything to her, like her own little haven. Her own little oasis, which I guess felt more like a tundra, compared to Jacob's flaming hot desert. I rolled my eyes at my embarrassing thoughts, but I assumed that's how she thought of them.
The drive to the airport felt like a ton of weight crushing my shoulders. I had no place to follow them to Italy, as it was truly none of my business. But I promised Jacob, and though Bella could make me so frustrated with her lack of self-confidence and self-respect, I liked her company a lot, and I needed to make sure she was alive and safe.
In the couple of months that she came out of her apathetic state, we reconnected again, reminiscing about our unorthodox friendship, both of us being new to the town, shy and not particularly sociable.
However, Bella was the ideal friend to keep you grounded and connected with reality, which I, sometimes, had trouble with; my mind was running wild and free most of the time, while my mouth was staying shut. 
So, I was willing to go across the ocean for her, to an unknown place, in a castle full of bloodsucking vampires. I wasn't pleased, but I was willing. Willing to help her save her stupid ex-boyfriend, and hopefully not get killed in the process.
During the flights, Alice tried, more or less, to explain the dynamics of the vampire world; the Volturi, being this sort of government-slash-royalty of the vampire kind, were tasked with imposing their laws over the other vampires. Their most important law? Don't expose your existence to humans, unless you want to die. Well, there goes that! 
Alice had already talked to me about their kind; Bella knew through her association with both Edward and the rest of the Cullen family. The chances of any of us making out of there alive seemed slim to none. I was literally flying towards my death. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool. 
I was trying to calm down my nerves, which did not work at all, when all I could think about were those Italian vampires. Alice told me that the vampire Kings, especially Aro, who seemed to be their leader, were interested in collecting talented vampires. 
So, it was pretty obvious that he would, most likely, get rid of Bella and myself, and would gladly keep Alice and Edward, who, as Alice told me, has the gift of reading people’s minds. So, we were actually doing that Aro guy a favor there; bring him the “talents” and get rid of the “intruders”, the humans. Great. Just, great.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
We were currently on our way to Volterra. Alice had stolen a yellow Porsche from the airport’s parking lot, which neither Bella, nor I opposed to, for now. It was a fast way to get to Volterra, plus I’ve never actually been in a Porsche, and I felt pretty amazing. Alice seemed like a skillful driver, and drove pretty fast, which I liked, especially if I was the one driving. Bella and Alice’s conversation interrupted my thoughts.
“What? What do you see?”
“They refused him.” That was good, right?
“So..?” Bella knew there was something else behind Alice’s vision.
“He’s gonna make a scene. Show himself to the humans.” Why the hell, Edward?!
“No! When?”
“He’s gonna wait until noon, when the sun’s at its highest.” Bella seemed more and more worried and anxious, and I heard her heavy breath, which seemed like she was starting to go on panic mode. I stroked her shoulders lightly, trying to calm her down. As much as she deserved to get worried, given the events that led us here, this was not the time to panic.
“There’s Volterra.” Alice pointed to her left, at a beautiful, picturesque town that looked as if it had jumped out of the Renaissance era. The scenery of Tuscany was beautiful, and it had always been part of my bucket list to travel across Tuscany in a small rental car. That was not how I pictured that trip, or how I pictured my last day on Earth.
Alice was running through the city’s narrow streets by now, never stopping to honk at people passing by, who moved left and right, trying to avoid the “crazy driver who decided it was a good idea to drive a sports car through such a city’s small, narrow, occupied streets”; at least, that’s how I saw it.
Alice did not back down, and continued driving skillfully through the city’s small arteries. It was odd though, the fact that everyone around us was wearing red capes, red clothes, everything was red. Bella questioned it out loud and Alice informed us that today was the celebration of Saint Marcus’ Day, the day that the Saint expelled all vampires from the town. The irony.
Bella was experiencing a full on panic attack, as we were only 5 minutes away from Edward’s shenanigans. Theoretically, everything was in order, until the moment we were stopped by the local police who refused to let us go any farther. Bella opened her door. She would go on foot, to find Edward before he exposed himself. Alice would park the car somewhere outside of the town’s walls, and we’d then go and find them.
I turned around my seat, to watch Bella running through the streets, to the plaza where the clock tower, which Edward was going to expose himself from, was located. Alice left the car outside of the walls, but still, close enough to have easy access. 
For me, it was quite easy to walk around now, as my skin was not sparkling like Alice’s was. Alice had to wrap herself around a coat, a long, thick scarf and gloves, and wear sunglasses to protect her identity even more. I was walking in the middle of the streets, watching around carefully, as good as my human eyes could see, trying to help Alice go unnoticed, as she pushed herself more towards the buildings’ walls, trying to avoid the sunlight. 
That went on for a while, until we were close enough to the clock tower, where Alice took my hand on hers and, with long strides, walked towards the main entrance, which was, thankfully, shaded enough for her to walk through. 
She must have heard the conversation inside the building, as the moment we stepped in - Alice breaking the lock that kept the door momentarily closed, she started talking to the others, who I mistook as being Bella and Edward. As another sign of my unluckiness in life, she was actually addressing two other vampires, a tall brunette and a shorter blond.
They both looked gorgeous, but they could probably kill me as easily as it was for me to blink. I instantly became stiff, and Alice must have felt it, but she kept on holding my hand, trying to play it cool in front of the others, while trying to get rid of her disguise with her free hand at the same time.
“Come on, guys. It’s a festival. You wouldn’t want to make a scene.” She tried to play it nice and cool, though I knew she was just as worried being here as the rest of us.
“We wouldn’t.” The brunette vampire responded, now looking at me, who, by now, I have lost all my confidence in coming to Italy to help Bella.
I caught the blond vampire looking me up and down my body, and felt rather self-conscious. I didn’t have the best relationship with my own body and my own self; I didn’t like what I saw in the mirror, most of the time. So, I made up for what I lacked in self-confidence with sarcasm, bad humor, honesty and snarky remarks. I would be really going off of him right now, if I wasn’t shaking.
Though beautiful, the blond vampire also scared me, just as much as his brunette partner. I stared back at him, looking at his confident stance, one hand behind his back, and a smirk across his face. 
When my (Y/E/C) eyes met with his red ones, I started shivering even more, holding on Alice tighter than before. I felt my heart beating faster, my breath became both sharper and deeper, and I felt as if I would cry, right then and there, in front of everyone. I saw the blond becoming a bit stiff, his jaw clenching, swallowing deeply, but he still wouldn’t take his eyes off of me.
Alice and Edward exchanged some looks, as if they knew what was happening, but chose to not tell anyone else. The scene in front of me was interrupted by the clicks of heeled shoes, and a blonde girl came into our view. 
“Enough.” Her voice was stern, and her stance was stoic as she came closer to us.
“Jane.” Edward recognised her and lowered his head towards the ground. He didn’t seem scared before, when it was just the two vampires in front of us, but the small woman now seemed to have him terrified.
“Aro sent me to see what was taking so long.” She looked between the two vampires of her coven, as if she was criticizing them for their incompetence to bring us all before Aro. Then, she turned to us, looking us straight in our eyes, or rather our souls, probably to warn and scare us at the same time, before walking back to where she came from. 
Alice turned towards Bella and I, the only humans there, who clearly looked more terrified than she and Edward did. “Just do as she says.” She simply said and we followed behind the girl, with the other two vampires closely behind us. 
The blond one was so close to me, I could feel the coldness radiating off his body, making me shiver. The brunette gave Edward the red robe I didn’t notice he was holding before, probably to cover himself in front of the Kings. The blonde girl moved between Bella and Edward, and Alice and I. Edward was trying to comfort Bella but I couldn’t exactly make out what they were saying, my mind making all shorts of scenarios about how the vampires would kill me and the others. The more I thought about it, the more I was shriveling on Alice’s side. 
We reached an elevator - I never thought vampires used elevators, but maybe it was for the humans around? The brunette and the blond entered first, as the blond turned around to stare at us, turning his gaze at me afterwards, before fully stepping in. Then, it was time for Edward and Bella to get in, followed by Alice and I. The blonde girl stepped in last, before the elevator’s doors closed shut.
The elevator music, an operetta, was supposed to calm peoples’ nerves. Yet, in this tight box, it had the opposite effect. Surrounded by vampires, vegetarian and non, the music was just creeping me out. 
The fact that the blond vampire was merely two inches away from me was making my knees weak and my heart pounding, though I, myself, didn’t even know if my own body was reacting out of fear or attraction towards the blond vampire. I felt him leaning closer to me and barely heard him sniff around, but I clearly saw Alice turning her head around and giving him death stares, to which he retrieved back to his original position.
The elevator stopped and we all stepped out. We walked past a receptionist’s desk, the woman standing up, smiling and wishing us a good afternoon - based on the few Italian that I knew. From what Bella and Edward said, the receptionist was a human, wishing to become a vampire, like the others.
“And so she will be.” Demetri smirked, looking at me, who I still haven't abandoned Alice’s hand.
“Or dessert.” Jane interrupted, and I felt myself losing consciousness for a split second, before I felt the blond vampire grabbing my arm to stabilize me. His hand was cold and his grip tight on me, not leaving me even after I looked at him with wide eyes. He just smiled and continued walking ahead.
Jane opened the doors in front of her, leading us to a massive room, made out of marble, and decorated with Roman columns and scriptures on the walls. Surprisingly, it was well-lit and bright, compared to the dark halls that we passed through just a minute ago.
“Sister. Send you out to get one and you bring back two. And two halves. Such a clever girl.” A brunette boy, a bit taller than Jane, called towards her, as she walked by his side.
The blond vampire let me go and walk farther into the room, still holding Alice’s hand like I was holding on her for dear life. The blond vampire now stood a few feet behind us, next to the tall brunette one.
A black-haired vampire, who seemed a bit too excited, started walking towards us. “What a happy surprise! Bella is alive after all. Isn’t that wonderful. I love a happy ending. They are so rare.” He was talking with fake happiness in his face, as if he was reading from a script, grabbing Edward’s hand in the process.
“La tua cantante.” Your singer. The vampire seemed to know how much Edward craved Bella’s blood, and questioned how Edward could do so easily. 
“Aro can read every thought I’ve ever had with one touch.” Well, that explained a lot. And now I placed who Aro was within the Volturi.
I now learned more about Edward’s gift, which was more similar to Aro’s than anyone else’s, but he couldn’t actually read Bella’s thoughts. Aro requested if he could test his own gift on Bella, probably hoping that he could read her thoughts and brag about it. But when Bella offered her hand, which he took too willingly, his face was unreadable and then, disappointed and angry, not being able to read her either.
Then, he turned towards me, still by Alice’s side. His red eyes were cold and hostile, and his face uninviting. I felt small and vulnerable, exposed, in front of his critical gaze.
“Dear (Y/N), excuse me for the waiting. Edward has presented me a very..intriguing image of you. Could you offer me your hand? I would like to get to know you, as well.”
My lips were trembling, not being able to say a word, and my eyes were glistening. Please, don’t cry. Please, don’t cry. I knew that whatever Edward had shown him I couldn’t avoid. So, I took a step forward, leaving Alice’s hand and extending the other one towards Aro. I felt a breeze behind me, as Demetri came to stand on my right side, looking closely between Aro and I.
The mind reader took my hand between his hands, and I felt my thoughts being examined and tossed around my head, like a small whisper trying to cast a spell on me. The vampire looked at me, deep in the eyes, and his face was filled with fascination for whatever he saw inside my head.
“Fascinating, indeed, dear. Your mind is just filled with thoughts and images, though they are not very distinct. You are not an easy book to read. I still haven’t figured out who you really are. Although…”. He looked at the vampire standing beside me, motioning for him to give him his hand.
The blond obeyed his master. Did he have any other choice? Probably not. Aro took the blond’s hand, and his wicked, sick smile came back.
“Oh, this suddenly became even better than I would have expected.” He turned towards the vampire sitting on the throne, looking sad. Marcus? The vampire in question nodded, and Aro turned around in an almost theatrical move, with open arms, for everyone to see. 
“It seems that our dear Demetri has finally found his mate in (Y/N). I’m so happy for the two of you!” His face was smiling, but his voice sounded as fake as ever. 
I didn’t know what “mates” meant. Alice didn’t have enough time to explain every “vampire term” to me, so I was clueless regarding this part. The blond, who I now knew as Demetri, must have seen the confusion in my face, as he leaned slightly towards me and whispered “Soulmates” in my ear. My eyes widened and he giggled lightly.
Whether it was how close he came near me, or his giggle, or the fact that we were “soulmates”, my heart responded immediately, thumbing faster in my chest, and I felt my cheeks burn - I was clearly blushing in front of everyone, as if I couldn’t be any more awkward than I was before.
Aro interrupted my embarrassment, as he turned once again towards Bella, wanting to test if she was immune to the others’ gifts as well. He turned towards the blonde girl, Jane, asking her basically to show off her own gift. Edward ran forward to stop whatever it was going to happen, only to end up in pain, writhing in an inaudible pain, as Bella was practically screaming to stop.
I honestly didn’t mind Edward suffering, even if it was for a few seconds, considering that Bella had it worse for over 5 months. He finally dropped to the floor, as Alice ran to his side, and the blonde girl’s brother ran to grab Bella, to stop her from going by her lover’s side.
I had no idea what was happening. I was just looking around, shocked and scared, as all these unfamiliar things were taking place in front of my untrained eyes. I felt a hand stroking my arm up and down. I turned around to see Demetri smiling slightly at me, trying to calm me down. I sighed a bit and felt my heart slightly at ease.
That was until the Kings decided that Bella was a liability - I wasn’t? - and Aro called out for Felix. I turned around and saw the tall brunette smiling evilly, while the shorter brunette turned Bella around and left her there, exposed, in front of the giant. Edward seemed to know what it would be happening, as he immediately stood up and ran by Bella’s side to protect her.
He immediately ran forward, attacking the tall brunette, and knocking him down. Alice ran towards Edward to help him out, but she was immediately stopped by Demetri, who I didn’t notice had left my side, grabbing her by her neck and immobilizing her, dragging her away from ever reaching her brother. 
“Alec!” Demetri shouted towards the brunette boy, who had just left Bella at Felix’s mercy, pointing towards me with his eyes. The boy, Alec, came by my side, and practically dragged me farther from the scene that took place in front of me. His grip was a bit too much as he squeezed my arm, making me slightly cry in pain. Demetri growled at him, and Alec’s grip loosened significantly, but he still kept his hand on my arm.
Felix was pissed by now, as he immediately started fighting Edward, pushing and slamming him around the room. However, I couldn’t focus my gaze on them; not because they were fast, but because I was focused on watching Demetri, and how he was still holding on Alice’s neck tightly, never letting her go.
Watching Demetri’s hand around Alice’s neck should have made me feel appalled and sorry for the small brunette girl, but it didn’t. On the contrary, I felt rather aroused, watching his strong hand wrapped around the brunette’s neck. 
Honestly, I felt a wave of jealousy and annoyance hitting me. That should have been me! Only I was worthy to be touched by this sort of demon who masked his true identity with the facade of an angel. It should be me! I couldn’t help myself, my jealousy building up inside me. 
“Wish he’d choke ME!” I told myself, getting more frustrated by the minute.
“Patience, cara mia. All in due time.” Demetri smirked at me. I did not realise I said that out loud, until Alec started snorting beside me, clearly laughing cheekily, and Felix started bursting in laughter, his grip tight on Edward’s jaw by now.
I had embarrassed myself in a room full of vampires once again, the majority of them being part of the Volturi coven. If the Earth opened in half and swallowed me, I would pretty much welcome it at that point.
Bella brought me back to reality, as she was practically screaming, begging the vampires to let go of Edward, as she looked clearly distraught and upset. She even offered herself instead of Edward! Why, Bella? Just why? I have understood by now that they were mates and they’d do anything for each other, but she would sacrifice her own life for Edward?! That didn’t make sense to me.
Aro seemed to agree with me, but he thought more of the “soulless monster” perspective, while I thought more of Edward’s character, and how much his absence had scarred Bella. Alice told me, on our way here, that he thought he was doing everything to keep her away just to protect her, that being close to him put her in danger. But, from my own experience with Bella, she was suffering more away from him than he thought she would.
Aro looked disappointed between Edward and Bella, wishing he would give her immortality, which he did not seem willing to do. Aro moved menacingly towards the terrified girl, prepared to end her life. I fell forwards, attempting to reach her, to move in between them, but Alec’s grip tightened, keeping me back, both of his hands on my arms now. Aro was basically licking his lips, when, suddenly, Alice stopped him. 
The small brunette confirmed that Bella would become a vampire like them, and that she would even be the one to change her, as she saw in her vision. Aro called her forward, and Demetri let her walk towards his Master. 
He then moved towards Alec and I, replacing the brunette boy, but, instead of grabbing my arms like Alec did, he embraced me tightly, not letting me move away from my position. His cold embrace sent shivers down my spine, but, surprisingly, I let myself relax in his arms, feeling safe, and like that was where I belonged. I felt him smiling and relaxing, as well.
Aro seemed pleased with whatever Alice had shown him, and intrigued by her own gift of predicting the future. Alice had told me that her gift was subjected to the decisions people made, and the future could just change at any point. However, if Aro believed that her vision would eventually come true, we had no reason to tell him otherwise. 
Aro turned to Bella. “Your gifts will make for an intriguing immortal.” He whispered as he touched her face, Bella clearly feeling uncomfortable under his touch. I would, too - Aro seemed creepy in his own way, his behavior and movements just as unpredictable.
He then told us to leave, and prepare for Bella’s transformation, and Felix let go of Edward. Marcus told everyone that a woman named Heidi would be coming soon and thanked us “for the visit”, as Aro said his goodbyes. Demetri walked towards the exit, me still in his arms. Edward grabbed Bella by her hand and Alice followed them behind.
As we were walking through the corridor, a beautiful woman walked past us, many people - they looked like tourists - following behind her. She had long, wavy brown hair and purple eyes, which could only mean that she was most likely wearing blue contacts over her red eyes. Her aura was full of confidence and power; she knew what she was doing and she took her job seriously.
“Nice fishing, Heidi.” I heard Demetri addressing the woman from behind me. So, that was the Heidi Marcus was referring to. Wait.. Nice..what?
“Yes, they do look rather juicy.” The beautiful woman replied, eyeing between Bella and I, as she continued leading the tourists down the hallway.
Demetri must have seen her reaction, as he brought me closer to him. I was in shock, and started trembling more than before. These people, these poor people would be the vampires’ snacks in a few seconds. Like Bella and I could have been just minutes ago. I tried to not think about it, but the screams that echoed through the hall would probably haunt me for the rest of my life.
Demetri opened another door as we approached the end of the corridor, and we found ourselves back in the reception area. The Italian woman greeted us once again, but I didn’t listen to what she said, still in shock, just waiting to leave this horrible place as soon as I could.
“Just wait here. You will be able to leave in a few hours, when it’s dark outside.” Demetri instructed Edward and Alice, and took his arms away from my body, turning to look at me. “Wait here, cara mia. I’ll be back soon.” I nodded, not being able to say a word.
Demetri turned and ran towards the throne room. I knew he left to feed, and I just couldn’t bear the thought of him killing innocent humans. I couldn’t keep myself from crying, as I started trembling and losing balance. 
Alice came by my side, trying to stabilize and calm me down, while Edward tried calming down a hyperventilating Bella. We were both losing our sanity, not being able to keep up with the Volturi’s lifestyle, as it seemed. I was craving Demetri’s touch but, at the same time, I couldn’t stop the human in me, the logic, the sense that said that I should stay away from the vampires who killed people. 
I heard Alice and Edward talking with the receptionist, but I couldn’t make out exactly what they were talking about. Alice, slowly and carefully, with her hands still on my arms, led me to a nearby bench, as the receptionist walked away. I was rocking back and forth, trying to calm down, realizing that we are still alive. I saw the receptionist coming towards us, offering a glass of water to both Bella and I.
“Grazie mille.” I thanked her, my voice barely audible.
“Prego.” She smiled at me, and walked back towards her desk.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I didn’t realise how much time passed, until I heard footsteps coming towards us. I was way more calm by now. Lifting my head towards the direction of the footsteps, I saw Demetri and Felix. I shyly smiled at Demetri, and he smiled back, with a smile wider than mine, a smile that warmed my heart.
“Hello, again, amore mio.” I felt as if my heart stopped for a split second upon hearing the words he used to address me. I would still be weak to my knees, if I didn't already sit down.
Felix was the one to inform us that we were allowed to go now, being way past nighttime. I stood up, and attempted to walk forward, towards Bella and the two Cullen siblings. I intended to leave with them, but I was stopped by Demetri’s hand on my wrist.
“Where are you going, cara?” He looked at me, knowing why I was attempting to walk away.
“I.. I thought we’d.. be leaving? That I’d be leaving? With the others?” At least, I was hoping I would be leaving with them. 
“I’m sorry, amore. I can’t let you go, not now that I found you. You’ll be staying here, with me.” Demetri sounded so natural and serious, and I could only stare at him, my mouth agape.
“But.. I thought it was okay for me to leave. I have a life behind, you know. I have a school to finish, I have my family, I have things to do.” I still looked at him dumbfounded, waiting for him to allow me to go, just for now, just for a few months at least.
“I’m sorry, (Y/N). But I cannot risk anything happening to you. I will make sure you are safe and protected here. We will arrange everything with your school and your family, and whatever else is needed. Please, stay.” Demetri’s eyes were pleading, and a shiver passed through my body, just by looking at him and hearing him talk.
It took me a few minutes to respond; nobody said a word all this time. “Okay.” I said faintly. “I will stay.. here.. with you.”
Demetri’s face lit up, and he leaned closer to me, wrapping his arms around me. He was careful to not hurt me, and I knew, at the moment, with my heart full of love and affection for that man, that that was where I was supposed to be. With Demetri. For as long as it lasted.

Noticed
Spencer Reid x GN!Reader
A/N - Howdy! Here’s another little something from my drafts. It’s a draft and a half again so be gentle with it. Also, I’m touch averse and I would be so happy to find someone I wasn’t upset with touching. But c’est la vie! I hope y’all enjoy!
Summary - The touch averse agent starts getting touchy....
W/C - 2.5k
Warnings - none I think, but lmk if there is something
-------------
If Morgan was being honest with himself, he thought you were dying. Or maybe ill. Or so feverish you’d abandoned every single principle you had. Because he’d been there that first day of yours, waltzing up from the coffee machine to see you nervously trailing behind Hotch. It was painful to watch, he remembers, so terribly nervous you’d envy the kid on one of his bad days.
He had smiled at you and stirred his coffee and remained optimistic that someone so obviously terrified would be a decent field agent. (You’d been decent and then some, especially in an interrogation room). There’d been one non-committal wave—distinctly reminiscent of a certain genius—and the first full sentence of, “I’m sorry, but I just don’t do the touching thing. Handshakes included.”
Every little touch plagues you. You’re six inches away at all times, lest someone accidentally bump into you or get the wrong idea that you might be willing to brush shoulders. There’s no friendly pats. No high fives. Certainly no hugs. Garcia is furious in her attempt to loosen you up—to no avail—but Morgan knows better than to push. Something makes you hate skin to skin contact and he’s not looking to share trauma stories with you. Not yet.
So this, Morgan thinks as he wanders into the bullpen while stirring his coffee, is a sign that you’ve lost your mind.
He watches as you carefully extend one palm to one Dr. Spencer Reid. Perched on the edge of his desk, you’re a regular fixture, just another cute figurine to add to the collection. It’s the end to some wild discussion he could hear in the kitchenette, full of flailing limbs and butchered sentences. Everyone always thought it was cute, if you stripped away how irritating it could be.
This is the point where you two are caught up in whatever moment you’re having, so much so that you extend an upturned palm between the two of you. Reid threads his hands through his hair, stunned at your peace offering. Or maybe an offering of something more than friendship. Morgan assumes its something more; not only because you have the softest grin he’s ever seen, but because your fingers are practically begging the kid to hold your hand.
Reid’s careful in how he asks his question—Morgan doesn’t know what it is, but he can just tell. The wide eyes. The scared contemplation. The are you sure parting the kid’s lips.
Grinning and blushing, you just wiggle your fingers. Murmur something that Morgan isn’t allowed to hear. Something only for Spencer. There’s surprise before he grips onto your hand, wriggling all ten combined fingers together. You giggle as you spin him around in his desk chair and get tangled up.
Dropped jaw and grinning, Morgan can’t believe you, so touch averse you, are willing engaging in such risky behaviour. There’s a weird few moments when he wants to remind both of you to wear protection in such endeavours.
And as he’s wondering if hands need condoms, the two of you let go and move on like nothing’s happened. You go back to punctuating your points with your flailing hands. Spencer goes back to distracting from his blush with paperwork.
Morgan goes to get more coffee, trying to stop imaging that you two were his kids, growing up without his consent. And maybe also the hand condoms.
#
It’s shortly after JJ’s wedding—about midnight as the cleaning crew are picking up the straggling drunks—both Hotch and Rossi notice. They’re leaned up against the bar, each smoking a cigar, watching a slightly tipsy you teach an awkwardly sober Spencer Reid how to swing dance.
It’s no secret that you and Reid get on like a house on fire, two nerds that couldn’t shut up about whatever weird ass shit was on your brains. Rossi never made much move to care. Hotch was too stressed to think about what the pair of you did off company time. Everyone, them included, imagined that what time you did spend together was three feet apart. In museums. Wherever. No one questioned what kind of weird nerd shit you did, especially stuff that they couldn’t really be bothered to care about.
Now, they’re forced to carefully consider the implications of how touchy you’re getting. With Reid.
He’s even more gangly and uncoordinated than normal, as Hotch and Rossi watch on, getting thrown around like a rag doll. It’s kind of adorable, Rossi thinks and shares a well meaning look with Hotch. The two of you would be cute and he’s hoping that you do get together. Rossi always knows about these things, even if Hotch is positive that you two are just friends. And as two professional gentlemen do, they made a bet.
Twenty bucks.
Your laugh—one that no one gets tired of hearing—echoes around Rossi’s whole yard, even into his house. Reid’s voice is about two octaves too high as you spin him around on his wobbly feet. You go from three feet apart to chest to chest and back again. Rossi remembers high school dances vaguely and Hotch absently thinks about Hayley’s old infatuation with Grease.
Rossi takes another long drag from his cigar, grateful for the indisputable proof that you two are shacking up. There is no way that two people so touch averse could be touching this much without prior exposure. The yard is a ruckus of both of your laughters, year after year of awkwardness falling off you both in sheets. They’re no denying you two shut in nerds are finally having some fun.
It’s warming both Hotch and Rossi’s hearts.
And their bet.
#
Penelope notices next. Who knew that such a simple interaction could leave her speechless? Stammering and stuttering over not even a full minute of insanity.
She didn’t know how she’d gotten sick, or what she’d come down with, but the only thing that was keeping her in her work chair was you. And the endless buckets of soup that you kept pouring down her throat. Without a case—thank god—for the last couple days, all that you’ve done is sit in the bat cave, keeping her and her soup warm.
It’s as you are finishing some corny ass joke that she thinks how sweet you are. How loving. Penelope’s love language has always been touch—she’s given too many hugs to count—but it’s taken her a minute to figure out yours. And as she stares into the chicken soup in her hands, she realises that it’s everything you do for her. Your love is literally palpable.
It’s in the bright keychains you bring back. Or the crazy pens. Or the way you always drive her home after drinking.
As she’s opening her mouth to tell you, tell you just how much she appreciates everything, when Reid pops his head in, whole body following. He’s got too much of a grin this early. But when he’s far enough into the room, he spreads his fingers out over your shoulder and squeezes. Says something about a case and you follow behind him with a wave of your hand at Penelope. Like it’s the most natural thing in the world.
Like Penelope hasn’t been the one furiously trying to break you out of your shell. The predetermined first to get a hug in the office.
You’re still up and still waving and by the time she’s got her wits about her, she’s asking, “You let Reid touch you?”
The empty room and the closing door don’t answer.
#
JJ is nearly the last to find out. Well, your little touching relationship with Spencer has been the only topic of gossip between anyone for the last six weeks. They can’t believe they hadn’t picked up on the little bits of affection passed between the two of you.
Hand touches. Shoulder squeezes. Quick brushes. The mystical hug Morgan claims he once saw.
For the rest of the world, you and Spencer were nothing but friendly. Maybe even best friendly. To the team of highly trained profilers who had been friends with the pair of you for a combined 15 years, this was marriage material. This was you and Spencer screaming the pair of you had eloped.
You two crazy kids had to be together, but the team was left to sussing it out for themselves. Neither of you two would ever say anything, never give anything up. But surely, the three of them—using Penelope would be cheating of course—could figure out when you two had started up. Because you had to have. There was no way all of this was just friendly.
And it isn’t. That much is clear when JJ gets a phone call from you while she’s looking a crime scene over for what feels like the gazillionth time. Some un-sub with the usual cocktail of daddy issues, anger issues, and a healthy dose of narcissism.
It’s rare you call anyone without good reason. You aren’t the type to just chat—everyone has speculated you got enough of that from Spencer. And once JJ says hello, you start bawling.
You’re sobbing and JJ has no idea what to do.
“Y/n, y/n,” she tries, hoping you’ll calm down enough to breathe properly. “You have to tell me what’s wrong.”
“It’s—it’s Spencer,” you hiccup. JJ can hear you sniffling into your sleeves. Can hear the blinkers go as you change lanes. “He’s not answering—not answering his phone. And he said he’d—that he’d call, but he hasn’t. And JJ something’s wrong.”
By the way your breath hitches and your sobs crackle into the phone, JJ knows exactly how bad it has to be. Spencer, however, is supposed to be following up a lead with Emily. Some paint huffer in his mom’s garage—nothing more than a routine witness report. She almost can’t believe something would go wrong.
“What happened? Where are you?”
“JJ,” you sniffle before the flood gates open again, “I can just feel it. Something’s wrong.”
JJ’s mind scrambles. As much as you played it off, you had a sixth sense. Every time, every countable time, someone got hurt, you knew before it happened. You had a gut for these things and JJ didn’t want to think about how bad this was going to be. How bloody. So she scrambles for her car and doesn’t wait for the other detectives to figure it out.
JJ’s halfway to the witness’s house when you make it there yourself. You’re still on the phone, doing a horrible attempt at trying to keep each other calm. You’ve traded the sobs for hiccups, thankfully. JJ can hear you climbing the porch stairs. She’s taking corners at 65 miles an hour.
Nothing seems fast enough when JJ hears the phone clatter to the floor and the shout of “oh my god, Spencer!”
Nothing is fast enough when you’re sobbing out, “You can’t die on me like this.”
Nothing is fast enough when JJ quietly but distinctly hears, “I love you too much for you to fucking die, Spencer Reid.”
#
Spencer Reid always thinks he’s the last to find out. He’s blunt and oblivious and thinks too much to just see what’s in front of his face. He was so sure they had all seen how in love he was, just how desperately he was clinging to the hope they wouldn’t notice. If they didn’t notice, you wouldn’t. Not while wearing the same sort of blinders he wore.
But once everything had come out? He was positive everyone else had known. That he’d come into work one morning and there would be a cake engraved with the words, “Congrats on Shacking Up!”
It never happened. No cake. No lights. No surprises. No one seemed to know or notice or anything. Spencer and you went on like nothing had changed—it really hadn’t anyway. He liked to laugh when you told him the two of you had been practically dating since the first time he’d offered to take you to a Korean film festival.
Two years later and he’s become very aware of you. And also the ache. All of the very dull and consistent ache in his body. Another scar to add to the collection, he bitterly thinks, out of anaesthesia enough to know that he’s in a hospital. That he’s been hurt. That someone’s holding his hand.
It’s calloused and soft and just perfectly latched onto his. A hand he’d waited to hold for too long. One that he’d be holding for the rest of his life.
Attached to the hand is you, sleeping haphazardly between his bed and a plastic chair. Your fingers are tangled in his, head rested on the crook of your arm and the bed. There’s too much of you curled up in a chair. It’s one of his favourite bits about you, just how dedicated you could be. How you were always there when he woke up and always would be.
He smiles and chuckles despite the pain in his ribs. You wake with a start, one startled gasp followed by a shuddery exhale as you realise again where you are. That nothing’s changed. That everything’s changed.
Through lidded eyes, he watches your eyes light up, matching you grin for grin. He watches the anger flash across your face for not even a second, and he knows exactly how bad you want to murder him for scaring you so bad.
Instead, you press frantic kisses to the back of his knuckles, message fully received. You missed him. You’d been terrified. You’d cried so hard, he can still feel the salt on your lips.
“Spencer,” you breathe, giving his hand one more kiss for good measure and pressing his knuckles to your cheek. “God, I’m so glad you’re alive.”
“I’m alive, y/n, I promise,” he whispers back. Hoarse and adorably okay. It’s one thing to expect to get shot going after un-subs. It’s another to get attacked by a PCP addled grandmother.
He wiggles a finger against your cheek. Even though he can’t see your red rimmed eyes or the dark tear tracts on your cheeks, he can feel the tear that pools on his finger. But before he can reassure you one more time, you shush him and tell him to get some sleep and that you’ll both worry about this later. Maybe over jell-o.
He grins.
#
The team, visiting the next morning, doesn’t have the heart to wake up either of you. Reid looks happy for the first time in—years—with you carefully curled into his side. Sure, there’s a scratchy hospital gown and some pesky lines overriding everything, but it’s cute. No denying that. Thank god you two knuckleheads are finally being open about it. Even if you’re sleeping.
Emily smiles to herself as she readjusts her sling. Morgan and JJ are trading exclamations of shock, while Hotch passes Rossi twenty dollars. You readjust and Reid’s arm moves to rest across your cheek. JJ isn’t subtle when she takes a photo, sniggering.
Emily is even less subtle when she snorts. “I guess I can finally let the cat out of the bag.”
Everyone perks up; she swears she sees Reid open an eye.
“Nearly six months ago, y/n drunkenly confessed to dating Reid. She’s a real wild card on tequila, let me tell you.”
“You knew?” Morgan screeches, “and you didn’t say anything?”
Emily shrugs, winces with her busted up shoulder. “Does it matter? Didn’t we all know?”

It happened spontaneously, like most special moments in your relationship. You were keeping him company at the studio, talking and chattering away. You were so enthusiastic about the topic that you didn't notice how Hongjoong just stared at you with loving eyes. He loved how your face would lit up whenever you talked about something that fascinated you. Before he realized it, he began leaning in.
"Hongjoong? Are you even listening to me anymore?" You asked when you noticed he wasn't responding.
"I'm listening love." He answered with a smile as his face was inching closer to yours.
"Kim Hongjoong, if you're about to fall asleep again." You warned him.
"Oh, I'm not falling asleep. I just really wanted to do this."
Cupping your cheeks, he gently pressed his lips against yours, holding it for a few seconds before he pulled away, blushing like crazy. You both looked at each other's reactions and burst out giggling due to nervousness.
Hongjoong was the first one to compose himself. Taking a hold of your hand, he snuggled you close to him.
"Now finish telling me your story please."

Since your very first date, Seonghwa always asked for permission to kiss you. Granted, it was always a kiss on your cheek, nose or forehead, but he always wanted to have your consent for it.
"Seonghwa, we've been dating for over 4 months now. You can stop asking by now." You always told him.
He wasn't going to stop asking, at least not yet. But you two had been dating for a while and he wanted to take a step further.
"Y/N.....can I kiss you?" Seonghwa asked you again after a date.
You rolled your eyes and turned your cheek to him. Seonghwa had other plans. Tilting your head forward, he instead went for your lips, kissing you tenderly. When he pulled back, he chuckled at your shocked expression.
"H-hey! What was that?" You exclaimed, still flustered from the kiss.
Seonghwa simply smirked.
"I asked you for permission and you said yes. Don't even start. "

Yunho and you were currently cuddled up together on the couch, watching some cliche romantic comedy. So far, the two of you had just been laughing at the leads or throwing comments here and there.
But then a super romantic scene came up. If the other guys would have been there, you would have all cringed at the sappiness of it. But you two were alone and when the characters kissed, you both looked at each other. Yunho noticed how you stared at his lips and bit down on your bottom lip. Not being able to contain himself, he cupped your chin with one of his hands and kissed you, which you were more than happy to return.
"Hey guys, have you seen- Oh!"
You both pulled away immediately when San came in and interrupted you both. He smirked slyly at you two before excusing himself out of the room. Yunho and you sat awkwardly, not knowing what to do or say. Then he turned back to you and asked.
"Can I kiss you again?"

Yeosang had been a little more playful than usual. He kept tickling you while you cuddled, earning him a few smacks to his arm a couple of times. Or he'd tug on your hair just to see you whine and complain at him.
"Yeosang!" You exclaimed when he yet again pinched your hip.
"What?" He snickered innocently.
"Stop." You pouted.
"Hmm.......nope."
Yeosang began tickling you again, causing you to writhe and squirm under him as you tried to push him away. Somehow, he ended up on top of you with your hands pinned above your head. You both halted your actions and just stared at each other as you realized the position you were in.
You were about to speak up when Yeosang bent down without warning and just kissed you, slightly roughly since he lost a bit of balance, causing his face to crash against yours, but you didn't mind.
When he finally pulled back he was beaming with joy, happy he gathered the courage to kiss you.

San missed you so much. They had just finished a schedule that took them overseas for a couple weeks and he was dying to have you back in his arms. He couldn't sleep at all during the plane flight, too giddy at the thought of reuniting with you.
He wasn't expecting you to meet him at the airport, but you did. He saw you holding up balloons and a plushie, waiting to welcome him back and congratulate him on doing an amazing job.
San couldn't control himself. He ran up to you, picked you up and spun you around, holding you so close you could hardly breathe. Without thinking, he dipped you slightly and kissed you with ardor. He only pulled back when the other guys began whistling and hollering behind you two.
"Yeah! Get some Y/N!" Wooyoung cheered.
"Stop. Leave them alone." Seonghwa began shooing them away so you two could enjoy the moment uninterrupted.
San and you chuckled at what happened, but not regretting one second of it.

Mingi had everything planned, he just needed to find the right moment to get you alone. But it was pretty difficult with all the guys wanting to play around in the snow. What started off as a snowman building contest ended up as an intense snowball war after WooSan decided to demolish SeongJoong's hard work.
After everyone grew tired, Seonghwa and Hongjoong began preparing everything to make a campfire. Mingi took the opportunity to take your hand and ask you to take a walk with him, which you happily obliged to. You two strolled around for a few minutes, watching the light snow fall around you before Mingi let go of your hand and stood in front of you.
"What?" You asked.
Blushing and with a shy smile, Mingi pulled out a mistletoe that he'd been hiding in his trench coat for a while. You giggled when you realized what he wanted, but nodded to let him know it was ok. Mingi closed his eyes and puckered his lips slightly, confused when for a while you didn't move.
"Uh.... Einstein. Either you bend down or get me a ladder if you want a kiss. I can't reach all the way up there." You huffed and crossed your arms.
Mingi snorted rather embarrassed and apologized before bending down and engulfing you in the purest kiss ever.

Wooyoung had been trying to get you spend time with him. You were so caught up in something from work/school, when you were supposed to be cuddled up to him and just bask in his love and affection. He tried everything he could think of to get you to turn off the computer, but to no avail.
He wasn't about to give up though. He sat down next to you as you tried to finish a project on your computer.
"Jagi... " He whined as he latched onto your arm, trying to pull you away once again.
"Wooyoungie, just give me a few more minutes and I promise I'll spend the with you ok?" You told him.
He huffed. "Fine but I at least want a kiss."
You sighed as he pointed to his cheek and leaned his face in so you could kiss it. Figuring it was the least you could do, you went to kiss his cheek but at the last second, Wooyoung turned his head, effectively making you peck his lips instead, surprising you.
Wooyoung smirked triumphantly and stood up.
"If you want more of that, I suggest you finish faster."
You decided to abandon your task. You stood up and practically tackled Wooyoung onto the bed, wanting to now properly kiss him a few more times, which he was not going to object to.

Jongho was nervous, extremely nervous. He was gripping so tightly onto the railing he held, his mind not paying attention at all to the fireworks going off in the distance. You on the other hand were watching it all in amazement, not noticing how the poor boy was in agony.
He'd never had his first kiss, wanting to save it for someone special. And that turned out to be you. He wanted you to be his first kiss. And what better and more romantic time to do than while watching New Year's fireworks?
Taking a deep breath, he took your hand in his, causing you to look at him. You were surprised he was so close and were more surprised when he leaned in and tried to kiss you, but because he had his eyes shut and was trembling, he miscalculated and ended up bumping noses with you.
"Oh my gosh! Y/N, I'm so sorry!" He apologized, turning super red and covering his face.
"No it's ok Jongho." You tried assuring him.
"Ugh. How embarrassing. I try to make a first kiss special and it ends horribly."
You took his hands off his face and smiled at him.
"Night's not over. If you want, we can try again." You offered.
Jongho nodded and closed his eyes when you leaned in. You gave him the faintest whisper of a kiss, so as to not scare him since he was already nervous. You pulled back and scanned his face. He opened his eyes and broke into a bright smile. His new year came to a great start for sure.

overhaul with a sibling who's a lot like yushiro from demon slayer? how would he react if they were attending ua behind his back? love that there's another demon slayer fan!
Overhaul reacts to brother reader that is like Yushiro from Demon slayer attending UA behind his back
TW : Human trafficking, mentions of blood
So lets set this scene, you are basically Overhaul's brother and you lived under his control you also have no freedom and has no idea what is the outside world is like.
One time you disobeyed you ended up being on the surgerical bed and all day long and he tortured you almost to d̶e̶a̶t̶h̶ he also injected a couple of illegal medicines on you.
You and eri are also in the same boat.He conducted many researches and experiments on both of your bodies and sells the drugs that he made on both of you in the black market.
You are also Eri's caretaker since the day she was brought in the yakuza - mansion.Yoy the one she can rely on the even in hardest times even though when she can't express her feelings well.
You actually also dont know about you and Eri's quirk that much.But your "so called" brother said that it is powerful and they both needed you on his league.
Days, weeks, months passed you had enough and decided to take along Eri with you to escape.You conducted a whole plan to escape.Thankfully your observant and know the basics on how to make an sleeping pill.
Every night your brother commands you to make him food smth like that.You, an pharmaceutical genius ended up drugging him without noticing.
T̶o̶o̶ b̶a̶d̶.He's too sharp.
You ended up running with Eri while Overhaul commands his team to capture you and the scared little girl.
The last thing you know is you and Eri getting surrounded by overhauls underlings.You started fighting back even without knowing what exactly how your quirk works.Blood and several broken bones is the consequences that you received.
Your in the verge of giving up, you were naive and weak as an 12 year old boy protecting an 3 year old girl.
Then suddenly you exploded blood and several human organs surrounded the whole shie-hassaikai base also the scared little girl's screamed echoed throught the base.
But why, why can you still feel your whole body even when your dead.The last thing you knew Eri was taken away and everyone was disposing of your blood and your body.
Your body ended up getting thrown to the river carelessly, your body that has been exploded piece by piece also ended up regenerating and ended up being normal again.You also don't feel pain.So you thought.This is my quirk huh?
A sigh of relief and hot blood comes rushing in through your veins as you ended up not being able to bring Eri along with you.
You did not cried at all.Crying is pointless and staying like this is also worthless.
The thing that first comes into mind is you going to turn yourself in to the child welfare services.You introduced yourself as an child sold by your family and you also introduced yourself with an fake name to hide your real identity.
You ended up being adopted by an family living in the city.You don't care at all as you long you can have revenge and save your sister and you will together escape this madness again.
You also go to know how to use your quirk well and uncover many secrets about it.
Your adoptive parents also started noticing on how quite your good at using your quirk so they ended up home schooling you.They were shocked you were such an intelligent obedient child they also treated you like their own.
You feel kinda safe,warm and comfortable at the same time.You also can't help to feel bad and burdened on how you abandoned Eri.Your living in heaven while she's experiencing hell.What a good brother you are you asked to yourself.
3 years passed you basically got into UA due to hardwork and determination You became also strong and your appearance drastically changed.
Meanwhile everyone UA aims to be number one and your goal is to save your sister from your pathethic brother.You also kept an low profile of yourself to hide your existence.
You actually ended up getting along with most of the class especially to Midoriya.You dont know why because he just gives the scent that you can trust him and he's a good person.
Also the girls in the class likes you because you respect them and also beat that little shit up by being a huge pervert.(if you know you know)
Time passes by and eventually their will be an upcomming event, the UA sports festival.Everyone in the class is excited meanwhile you are anxious, your identity will exposed and all your hardwork will go down the drain.
It does'nt matter,your much stronger and confident now.The sports festival came to an end and everyone gathered at the classroom for an sudden meeting. To be honest you did great on the event but you did not manage to get through the top 3 rankings.
You ended up getting an reccomendation to a hero agency.You accepted the reccomendation and it was basically for a month to get better and stronger.
Everything happened so fast, you ended up getting an reccomendation and accepting it and getting attacked by the villains.So UA decided to just make an dorm system to make sure that the students are safe at all times.
Aizawa announced that there will be an hero internship and you ended up getting back to the agency that trained you a few months ago.
Everyday is like usual you did multiple patrols, go to school to study and mostly can't sleep in the night.
You and so as the others like uraraka, tsuyu, midoriya, kirishima ended up being summoned at Nighteye's agency.
Their were many pro heroes as well your teacher, Aizawa is here.You can sense that the situation is quite serious and Midoriya and Mirio is acting weird and you can also sense fear in them.
Nighteye's sidekick bubble girl and centipeder explained that there is a villain on the loose.You lost your complexion, you felt sick and scared.All of your memories in hell projected throughout your head "Y/N - san are you okay? your complexion does'nt seem too good." tsuyu said in an concerned voice.
You replied, that your okay and you said that you've never ever seen something brutal.
As they've continue on nighteye mentioned that overhaul or also known as kai chisaki has an daughter.
You snapped and standed up while shaking " What seems to be your problem Mr.L/N?" nighteye said in his intimidating voice,everyone was staring at you like your crazy.
"I-i have something to confess." you said as your voice trembled
"And what is that?"
"My brother is Overhaul."
"Y/N - san you must be mistake----."
"NO! YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR GETTING INTO, AND THE WORST CASE SCENARIO IF YOU GOT SHOT BY THOSE DRUG YOUR QUIRK WILL BE DESTROYED AND WORSE SOMEONE WILL DIE!" you yelled and everyone stared at you with disgusted faces and even in disbelief
"So your saying that your in hands with Overhaul or your so called brother?"
"No... I tried escaping with Eri but she was taken away and my body exploded in pieces and my body parts ended up being thrown carelessly through the river,thanks to my quirk i can basically regenerate and create an new identity.However i did not accomplished on taking her with me.AND DONT YOU DARE IMPLY MYSELF WITH THAT MANIPULATIVE PATHETHIC MAN DONT YOU KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE BEING TORTURED EVERYDAY?EVERYDAY IS HELL AND IF WE MAKE A MISTAKE ONE FLICK OF THAT BULLET YOUR BASICALLY AN DEADMAN WALKING!AND I HATE SEEING PEOPLE DIE IN HIS HANDS!" you yelled in frustration.
Your classmates, stared at you in disbelief you are the most calm and composed person in every situation but in this situation, they did not know that you we're in despair.
"S-sorry, with that said.He thinks that i'm dead but no and i'm not affiliated with him anymore, plus the last time we saw eachother is 3 years ago."
"So please, i beg you save my sister she's all i have." you said as you bowed to the ground showing pure respect.
Nighteye sighed and he said he saw that coming and commanded you to tell everything that he did to you amd Eri and about their Yakuza gang.He also said to keep an distance and do not fight in the infiltration of their base.He also said to Aizawa to protect you.You agreed, it's the least thing that you can do to help in this kind of situation.
The day comes and you were basically watched by Aizawa eyes wide open (Lmao i just remembered i cant stop me and cry for me #Once #Twice).
You ended up not taking it anymore and sneaking out of the UA teacher dorm without anyone noticing.
You have no problem in making it through the base but you have to fight multiple of villains tho.You ended up seeing the sight of the ruined base and seeing your brother and Mirio fighting over the little girl.
"OVERHAUL!" you yelled in your booming voice as you've appear in the darkness wearing your hero suit .
"R/N?ah, so your alive?" he said in disbelief .
"Yes?so?my dear pathethic brother also known as overhaul."
"Too bad i shot him already." he said as he pointed at Mirio's struggling limp body as Eri just covered herself with his scrapped cape.
You ended up fighting him one on one.You knew that he was strong and powerful and so are you.
The last thing you knew was going all out with your quirk and passing out to the ground and you were in the hospital getting treated by recovery girl.
A few hours later you received the news that everyone in the Yakuza got arrested but Overhaul got taken away by the league of villains,Mirio ended up getting shot by the quirk destroying drug and ended up loosing his quirk.
Lastly sir nighteye got killed due to the bad injury that he got whilst fighting him.On the good side Eri was taken custody of and is doing well in the hospital together with Mirio and Deku.
You sighed in contentment and walked in your hospital clothes in the hallway trying to find her hospital room.
Your heart started racing and you saw the letter engraved "ERI" you finally mustered up the courage into opening the door.You saw Deku and Mirio playing with her
"Y/N - chan your here!" Deku said enthusiatically.
The little girl hids on her sheets when she thought that you were a bad person along with Aizawa.Mirio said that it is okay and you two are their teacher and a school mate.
"Eri - chan do you remember me?" you said on your soft voice she immidiately remembers that familliar voice, her eyes widened and ended up throwing her arms onto your embrace crying.
"R/N!"
"You do remember me!Your okay now your safe,nii-san is here to protect you and will not leave you alone." you said sobbing while hugging the little girl she nodded and you two just stayed like there for a while.
Deku and Mirio : 🥺 (Lmao you to scootch along i'm her real brother🔪).
And finally the hospital visit is over and they allow you to visit her along with Deku and Mirio during weekends on the hospital.
You also apologized to Midoriya and Mirio for meddling the middle of the fight.Instead they thanked you and if you were not there they would've ended up dead.
A few weeks later she can finally get out of the hospital and ended up being in Aizawa's care in the teacher's dorm in UA.Since you trusted him you allowed him to take care of her.
You also take care of her when Aizawa is not around along with Deku and Mirio in the dorms.
The whole class is also shocked in how much your attitude and behavi reverses when Eri's around.They were like : 🧐,🤭,🥰,😍,🤩,😱 is that even possible HShsgsh.
You also learned how to cook and teach Eri how to read and learn you also play with her ofc.
You also became more confident, and a .Lmao the look on your face when bakugo called you an Tsundere.And you said in the most murderous voice ever "DIE." then Eri comes in like : 🙁🗿.
"I said i will DYE my hair later pink HAHAHHAHAH😃." you said jokingly.
Everyone was like : 👁️👄👁️ Meanwhile eri's just : yea im down with that face with a small nod and a smile***
Mina aswell as the others ended up taking the joke seriously and you ended up having a pink hair color the next day to school.
Monoma said that you looked pretty u̶g̶l̶y̶ he ended up getting beat up by kendo.(SHHSHSHEHE LMAO😂).
Shoto thinks it's cool HAHAHHAHA.
Eri said that she likes it and it looks nice to you.Iida and Aizawa lets you slide disobeying the school rules just this ONCE he just wants to see the little girl happy.
The reaction on your adoptive families face when you told them that you have a sister is priceless.They we're like : " i guess we need to adopt another one." S̶i̶k̶e̶.

This X-Mas (Spooky X Reader)
“'Cause this Christmas, will be the Greatest time of your life from me I ain't asking for the diamond rings I ain't really got a list of expensive things I just want you to myself while the children sleeps Santa baby, would you make a little time for me?” - Chris Brown feat. Ella Mai
A/N: hey y’all! I know I kinda abandoned you but being in College during a panoramic (Twitter joke) but I finished! I graduated undergrad so it’s lit! Even tho I don’t really care for Christmas or the holidays and I dislike Christmas music, I love this song and since it’s been a while, I might as well give y’all a Christmas gift soooo Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁❤️
Tumblr media
************
You were not a fan of the holidays.
It’s not like you never were. You used to be but as you grew up, you grew a disdain for Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years', all that.
The most wonderful time of the year, your ass.
From November 1st up until January 2nd, every year, you were annoyed and couldn’t wait for this time of the year to be over. You didn’t like it and if you had to hear “All I Want from Christmas is You” by Mariah Carey one more fucking time, someone was gonna get kicked where they’re more jolly.
You were relaxing on the couch when you heard a knock on your apartment door. You announced you were coming and opened the door to 3 boys by the names of Cesar, Jamal, and Ruby.
“Hey, boys! What brings-“
“BATHROOM!” Jamal ran past you and straight to the bathroom, shutting the door behind him. Ruby shook his head and Cesar gave a nervous laugh.
“Would you believe we were just in the neighborhood?”
You pursed your lips. “Nope.”
Ruby sighed out of frustration. “We need help getting Christmas gifts for our.....” He swallowed hard. You closed your eyes.
“You’re still struggling to call Jasmine your girlfriend?”
“SHE’S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!”
“Yeah yeah yeah.” You waved him off and right then, Jamal stepped out the bathroom, relieved.
“Whew, my bladder was full! Where you get that hand soap, Y/N?! Smells lovely!”
You rolled your eyes, irritated. “At Bath and Body Works where y’all should get gifts for your girlfriends.” You narrowed your eyes at Ruby, who shuddered at the G-word. “Now if you excuse me, I was enjoying my alone time.”
Cesar stopped the door from closing. “Wait. Didn’t you say you were leaving today to go spend Christmas with your family?”
Shit. “Uh yeah. Duh. I needed alone time before I left.”
“I don’t see any bags packed.” Ruby indicated, skeptical.
“Or an airline ticket on the desk. Yeah, I noticed!” Jamal added, folding his arms.
You looked at the 3 teenage boys who were waiting for you to confess. You sighed deeply, knowing the jig is up.
“Fine, 3 wise men!” You stated with a tone dripping in sarcasm. “I’m not going home. I never was going home. The reason why is because I don’t care for the holidays. I stopped a long time ago. It’s never been special to me. Also, I don’t have a close-knit family. Actually, we’re dysfunctional as hell. This isn’t the most wonderful time of the year for me. I lied so you guys wouldn’t know the truth, now are you happy?”
Jamal had a dismal expression on his face and pulled you to his chest. “Now I see what the Scrooge looks like as a black woman.”
You pushed him off and Cesar grabbed your wrist before you could hit him.
“Does Spooky know?”
You shook your head. “Nope and it’s gonna stay that way. I mean it, Cesar. Don’t say shit to your brother about this.”
Were you really depending on the little brother of your gang member friend that’s not really a friend but he’s kind of your boo to keep his mouth shut?
“Cesar told me you lied.” That was what Spooky said when you opened the door the next morning which was Christmas. You sucked your teeth loudly, disappointed that your dumbass trusted a 15-year-old who feared his brother.
“I should really kick your brother’s ass.”
He smirked at your comment. “Talk to me, Mami. Why you not fucking with Christmas?”
You left the door, letting him outside and he closed the door behind him. “Because it’s annoying as hell.”
“Nah, that ain’t it.”
You turned to Spooky with your arms folded. “Why do you even care, Oscar? It’s not like your thug ass cares for holidays and shit.”
Spooky remained unfazed by your attitude and you calling him by his government. When you first met him, he would be pissed at that. Even tried scaring you but it didn’t work. Eventually, he got used to it and only allowed you to call him Oscar.
“You’re wrong and I’ll show you. Get dressed.”
You were feeling dangerous. “And what if I don’t?” You responded with a roll of the neck.
Spooky let a dry laugh that scared you yet turned you on at the same time. Damn. You started to bite your lip then pulled it back. He got dangerously close and stared you down.
“Do you really wanna know, Princesa?”
Yes. No. Shit.
You got out of his face and got dressed as you were told. You’ll let him win this round. You got into his car and he drove back to his house where Cesar and his girlfriend Monse were making a mess in the kitchen.
“Hey Y/N!” Monse greeted you. Cesar looked at you nervously.
“Hey Y/N, how’s-“
You held your hand up. “Save it, snitch!”
“He forced it out of me!” The young boy pleaded and you rolled your eyes in response.
“Whatever. What are y’all even doing?” You asked, confused and disgusted by the sight of the kitchen and glancing at Spooky’s face, he was not too pleased either.
“Trying to do a Christmas brunch but somebody doesn’t wanna listen to the instructions.” Monse gestured towards her boyfriend with a roll of her neck, causing Cesar to groan.
You couldn’t help but giggle at the two. “Alright lemme help so I can fix this. You!” You gestured towards Spooky. “You’re helping too!”
“Nahhhh cooking ain’t my thing.”
“Well Christmas ain’t my thing but I’m here. Now throw on an apron, cholo. You’re on bacon duty!”
You couldn’t lie. Making Christmas brunch with the kids was fun as hell. You found yourself smiling and giggling during the cooking and eating. You even caught Spooky staring at you a couple of times. You pecked his lips just because he looked so adorable but if you told him that, he’ll turn into a jackass. When the boys left to get something from God knows where you were left alone with Monse. You didn’t know too much about the girl but figured you could get to know her more.
“So Monse...you’re spending Christmas with your boyfriend.”
“So are you.”
Your eyes narrowed at her response. “1. Spooky is not my boyfriend and 2. I was forced here. Christmas is bullshit.”
“I love Christmas. Even though I don’t remember the last time I actually spent it with my dad.” Monse shrugged bending over and fix her shoelaces. That caught your attention.
“Wait, you’ve had shitty Christmases and you still love Christmas?!”
She shrugged again. “Well yeah. My dad is always away for Christmas and I don’t have my mom so I’ve always dreamt of doing Christmas stuff with the people I love. When I met the boys, not to sound corny but my dreams came true. Another reason why I need to keep the group together.”
You were lost for words. “Wow, I’m sorry, Monse.”
“It’s ok. Hey, I think I hear the boys coming back.”
The boys revealed themselves and Cesar announced that you guys were being invited to have Christmas dinner with Jamal’s family which was great because you didn’t want to cook.
“I’m telling you marmalade is better than jelly. I don’t wanna hear it!” Jamal declared during dinner. A debate broke out between marmalade and jelly which really entertained you. Jamal’s family was funny and so welcoming to you, a stranger. It felt weird to you that they were showing so much love to you, a stranger. Oscar held your hand throughout the whole dinner which did something to your stomach. You don’t wanna say butterflies. Maybe it’s gas.
When the group stopped by Ruby’s house to pick him up for “friendsmas”, his grandma pulled you aside with a serious look on her face.
“Open your heart, mama.”
You gave her a confused look. “What?”
“You closed your heart. Open it. Even if it’s to Papi Chulo over there. “ she gestured towards Oscar who was lighting up a cigarette and looked back at you. “Open it to Christmas. To any holiday. Just....open it.”
You kept that in mind as you went with the others back to the house for the kids to engage in their “friendsmas”.
“I’ve never heard “Friendsmas.” You muttered as Spooky handed you a glass of wine and you watched the kids from the doorway.
Oscar shrugged taking a swig of his Corona. “Well you hate Christmas so I’m not surprised.”
You elbowed him in his side and he began to laugh in response. “I don’t hate Christmas. I just never found joy in the holidays but now I do.” You looked at him and placed a soft kiss on his lips. “Thank you. Thank you for making this Christmas special for me.”
Oscar began to grin and pulled something from behind his back. “It’s not over yet, hyna.”
You gazed at the blue velvet rectangular box and opened it slowly to reveal a silver chain that said “Oscar” You looked up at him, speechless.
“Spooky, I....I.....”
“You don’t have to say anything. Just put on my necklace and be mine.” The gangsta in front of you took a deep breath. “I love you, Y/N.”
Your eyes were as big as saucers. “You....you do?”
“Yes, girl he do! It was so obvious!” Jasmine’s voice broke through the moment and everyone glared at her. Her mouth formed an O. “Oooh sorry! I forgot we were supposed to be acting like we weren’t paying attention. My bad!”
You shook your head and felt a surge of love and confidence. You loved this man. You have for a long time but never admitted it because...your heart was closed. Damn. Ruby’s crazy grandma ain’t so crazy after all.
“I love you too, Oscar.” You pulled him in for a long passionate kiss and the crew clapped in excitement.
“Girl put your back in it! You’re under the mistletoe!” Jasmine yelled again.
Ruby started. “Jasmine-“
“Shut up and kiss me!” She grabbed him by his collar, planting a kiss on his lips.
When you finally pulled away from your kiss with Spooky, you smiled up at him and his expression was matching yours. You spoke up through your grin:
“I’ll be damned. It is the most wonderful time of the year.”
A/N: Cheesy as fuckkkkk I know but Christmas is all about the cheese if we’re gonna be honest. I hope you enjoyed it! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, y’all! ❤️🎄🎁

when nothing’s said- fred weasley
masterlist
Tumblr media
pair: fred weasley x slytherin!female!reader
summary: y/n has known the weasley twins since first year and wanted nothing more than to befriend the pair, but one of them wants nothing to do with her. never one to back down, she worms her way into their lives and captures the heart of fred, whether he likes it or not.
warnings: slight swearing, italics is memories
a/n: first hp fic!!! thank you for all the support on my marvel fics so far it means so much <333 i’m gonna start a taglist so message me if you want to be added! and specify if you want to be added to marvel, hp or both! also requests are open!
“wicked.” you heard the voices of fred and george weasley chant behind you. their voices still managed to boom over the loud chatter of zonko’s. they were looking at the new line of products that had been added to the shelves. you were in your last year at hogwarts and had been through your entire school career with the twins. however, you had a love-hate relationship with them.
being sorted into slytherin in your first year immediately made them dislike you, their deep rooted hatred for slytherins being the cause of that. you met on your first day, in the great hall before the sorting ceremony. you heard their murmurs about pranks and tricks they could play on each professor and a small smile crept on your face.
“oi! what you smiling at?” the one on the left asked, you later found out to be fred.
“i strongly suggest you don’t prank professor snape. that won’t turn out well on your behalf.” you replied. your parents were high up in the ministry of magic and were well respected individuals in the wizarding world. they had told you all about the professors at hogwarts and what to expect when you arrived.
“oh yeah? i don’t know about you fred, but i don’t think professor snape stands a chance against us.” the one on the right said, george, you now know.
“you’re absolutely right, george.”
“y/n y/l/n!” professor mcgonagall announced and you stepped up to the sorting hat.
“oh? a y/l/n? i remember your mother. you two are very similar. wow, i see. very cunning. very ambitious... slytherin!”
and that was all it took. that budding friendship, gone. it was more fred than george, well at least that’s what you seemed to notice. fred had a very sort fuse and could never seem to control his anger towards you, george seemed to tolarate you a little more.
you had many run ins with the them throughout your years in hogwarts, many of them to fred’s demise.
“hey george! you said you needed help with potions?” you called, jogging slightly to catch up with them.
“yeah, you’re like crazy smart at it and snape doesn’t like me.”
“snape doesn’t like anyone.” you stated.
“he likes you.” he replied.
“it’s only because she’s slytherin. he doesn’t care that she’s the smartest in our class.” fred complained.
“you think i’m smart?”
“everyone thinks that.” he said. you send him a confused look, did he just compliment you? “i mean, you like to rub it in everyone’s face that’s all.”
“ignore him. library after dinner?”
although the fred disliked you and george only spoke to you for help with potions, their friend lee jordan had a soft spot for you and you two actually got on very well.
“y/n!” lee called. he pushed through the crowds of children to where you stood near the entrance.
“hey lee.” you greeted with a smile, “where are dumb and dumber?”
“drooling over new products, what’s new?” he replied.
you chucked, “usual for them then.”
“who are you with?” he asked.
“uh, y/f/n. she’s looking for something to get her brother.” you explained.
lee nodded his head, “how about you two join us for some drinks at the three broomsticks?”
“hmm a chance to piss off the twins? how could i resist?” you teased.
“meet us there in like half an hour?” he suggested.
“of course. see you then.” you said, winking at him and leaving to find your friend.
you scanned the busy store in search for y/f/n, noticing her talking to adrian pucey.
“hey, y/f/n, adrian.” you greeted. adrian and your friend both smiled warmly at you.
“afternoon, y/n.” he said, “me and y/f/n were planning to head back to the common room, want to join us?”
“actually, lee just invited me to the three broomsticks. why don’t you come with us?”
y/f/n scoffed, “what? just to see you and fred bicker like a married couple the whole time? thanks but no thanks.”
“it’s not my fault he doesn’t like me! i’m only going to talk to lee anyway.” you explained.
“uh huh, sure you are.” she mumbled.
“oh shut up.” you said, laughing lightly.
“i need to pay for this stuff,” y/f/n stated, gersturing to the items in her hands. “you guys wait here and then we can walk you to the three broomsticks.”
you and adrian made conversation until she came back, robes pockets slightly bigger than before she left.
“shall we?” adrian said, letting you guys leave first.
the streets of hogsmeade were filled with excited students, snow falling on their heads. you wrapped your coat around you tighter, feeling the harsh breeze under it. the wooden sign of the three broomsticks came into view and you saw lee and the twins standing outside.
“well, i’ll see you guys later.” you announced, waving at the pair as you walked away.
you approached the trio of boys and greeted them, “good evening boys.”
“where’s y/f/n?” lee asked.
“oh her and pucey wanted to go back to the dungeons.” you explained.
“what the fuck lee? you said we were waiting for angelina.” fred spat.
“whoops sorry, must’ve forgot.” he joked with a large smile on his face.
fred groaned in annoyance and walked into the three broomsticks. “what’s got his knickers in a twist?” you asked.
“he just fancies you.” george replied, with a smirk.
“oh yeah, who wouldn’t.” you joked. you stepped into the dimly lit pub and swept your eyes across the busy tables. george came in behind you with lee and lead you to a table where fred sat with a scowl set on his face. him and lee went to get butterbeers for the table, leaving you two alone.
“hey sunshine.” you said, sliding in beside him. his mouth stayed shut and his eyes stayed trained on the empty booth in front of him. “you cant ignore me forever.”
“actually i can, sunshine. and i will.” he replied.
“merlin, you’re so dramatic. is this only because i’m an evil, muggle-born murdering, slytherin? or is there something else to it?”
he scoffed and turned his head to look at you. “oh come on! just because i’m a slytherin doesn’t mean i’m evil.”
“i’m pretty sure it does.”
you let out a shocked laugh, “grow up fred. i’ve never done anything to you. you’re the one that pranks my friends and i! and fair enough some of my house mates are wankers but me and y/f/n haven’t done anything to you.”
he opened his mouth as if to say something, but closed it immediately. “i think you need to let go of this petty hatred towards me.”
“i think he does too.” lee announced as he approached the table with two butterbeers in his hands. him and george sat on the other side of the booth from you and slid two glasses across the table.
“he’s not one to back down easy is my brother.” george said.
“very stubborn so he is.” lee added.
“right that’s enough you two.” fred groaned, taking a swig of his drink.
“anyway, did you listen to that record i gave you?” lee asked you.
“yep, i’ve been listening to it on repeat. my roommates hate me for it.” you replied, chuckling.
“you like muggle music?” fred questioned.
“yeah it’s actually how lee and i became friends, he heard me whistling a song by queen and began singing along. since then we’ve been giving each other albums to listen to.” you explained. you took a sip of your butterbeer.
“wicked, what album was it he gave you recently?” he asked. out of the corner of your eye you saw george and lee subtly high five each other and begin having their own conversation.
“it was parklife by blur, it came out last year.” you said.
“i think i remember lee playing that one. when you give it back i’ll make sure to listen to it.”
you and fred spent the next hour bonding over your love for muggle music. you were surprised that he listened to so much and you guys actually had a very similar taste in music.
“do you remember professor lupin?” you asked. fred glanced over to george and smiled lightly.
“uh yeah, vaguely.” he replied with a laugh.
“well one time i was going to ask him for help with my essay on vampires and he was listening to david bowie! i mean i knew he was my favourite teacher but that just made me love him even more.”
“bowie huh? i can see that.” he said, nodding in approval.
“oi you two.” george stated, catching both your attention. “we’re gonna head back.”
“do you want to go?” you asked.
“you two go on, we’ll stay here for a bit yeah?” he replied, turning to look at you for confirmation. you nodded with a smile which fred returned.
george chuckled and winked at fred who just rolled his eyes. you watched the pair leave the pub and turned your attention back to fred.
“it must be fun having so many siblings.”
“it is, they’re so much fun to prank.” he chuckled. “want to go for a walk?”
“you want to go for a walk with me?” you asked with feigned shock.
“shut it, come on.” he grabbed his glass and finished the leftover butterbeer at the bottom before pushing you slightly to get you out the booth.
you slid out and grabbed your coat that you had abandoned earlier, putting it back on.
the cold air hit your face as you opened the door, fred stepped out behind you. he sucked in a breath, “bloody hell it’s freezing out here.”
“good solve detective.” you joked.
“being a cheeky bugger is my job.”
“well now you’ve got some competition.” you laughed and tucked a piece of hair behind your ear as you walked down the main street. a comfortable silence fell over the two of you as the snow fell on the ground. the crunch of your shoes against the snow was all the could be heard.
questions began to flood your head, why was fred here with you? what made him change his mind? shouldn’t he hate you? surely talking about music wasn’t enough for him to get over whatever made him despise you?
“okay i have to ask.” you blurted. fred glanced at you and nodded, signalling for you to continue. “why are you here?”
he furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, “what do you mean?”
“don’t you hate me? i feel like you shouldn’t be as nice to me as you are being right now, considering you avoided me like the plague from first year. i’m not sure what i did, but i’m just confused on how you seem to no longer hate my guts-“
suddenly his lips were on yours and you froze, he was kissing you? why? you pulled back in shock and looked up at him, glancing between both his eyes.
“why did you do that?” you asked.
“i don’t hate you. i never have. i was pissed off myself for liking you, for thinking you were beautiful.” he explained, “you are a slytherin and for some stupid reason that made me push you away.” he placed his hands on your arms, “i’ve been raised on the idea that slytherin’s are all evil and are all with them. but i know now, that’s not true. so i’m sorry.”
“merlin you are one soppy bastard aren’t you! i accept your apology don’t worry.” you said, “i knew you secretly didn’t hate me.” you smiled up at him.
“how could i? you’re a catch darling.” he replied with a smirk.
“anymore of that and my head will be bigger than yours.” you joked. “anyway, i believe i owe you something.”
“what?-“ you leaned up and kissed him before he got the chance to say anything else. he smiled against your lips and wrapped his arms around you, pulling you closer. you lifted your arms up around his neck and laced your hands together.
fred pulled away first, breathing heavily. “wait till george hears about this. godric he’ll go mental.”
“he told me that you fancied me earlier, should’ve believed him.”
he chuckled and pressed his forehead against yours, “what’ll your family think when you tell them you’re dating a weasley?” he asked.
“woah, woah, woah. dating are we?” you teased.
“obviously, love. unless that’s not what you want.” he replied, placing his hand on your cheek and rubbing his thumb across your lips.
“i’ve wanted that since the moment you called me smart.”
“i wasn’t subtle at all was i?” he asked, cheeks going slightly red from embarrassment.
“not really now that i think about it. but i was oblivious.”
fred chuckled and pressed a soft kiss against your lips again, exhaling a laugh through his nose.
“can we continue this somewhere warm? i’m freezing out here.”

Prompt: AU to 2.01. during the workout scene Eddie brings up Abby and Buck feels hurt and betrayed that Chim would share his private life with basically a stranger. When Chim says Eddie’s cool Buck says he can be wary of the new guy who gets so comfortable right off the bat when Buck himself got hazed like crazy as a probie. When Chim says Abby’s not a big deal Buck turns to Eddie and asks if he found his abandonment amusing. Eddie feels horrible and Chim finally understands his screw up. Buddie
Hi Anon! I’m not 100% sure this will satisfy your prompt, for which I apologise. That said, in a longer fic I’m currently working on, this scene gets examined hardcore from both Buck and Eddie’s POV and I hope to post that fic soon, so if this does not quite do it, hopefully that will. All that said, I do hope you enjoy this:
--
The kid is like a brother to him, but good god. It’s only Eddie’s second shift and they haven’t even all clocked in yet, and Buck is already being a dick. Chimney sighs – on the inside – and keeps buttoning his shirt while Buck slams locker doors and Eddie just tries to change.
When Buck finally stomps out of the locker room, Eddie takes a second and then turns to Chim.
“So, is it just me, or…”
“Try not to take it personally,” Chim recommends. He likes Eddie, has liked him since they met. It’s nice to have another medic on the shift, even if Eddie isn’t certified as a paramedic like him and Hen. Bobby’s and Buck’s EMT certification is great and useful but sometimes that little bit of extra medical knowledge comes in handy.
“So he’s just a dick to everyone?” Eddie asks.
Chim sighs. “Nah,” he says. “He’s just – look, the kid’s got a heart of gold, he really does, and most of the time he’s the sweetest guy you’ll meet, like a giant 6’2 golden retriever, but his first serious girlfriend just dumped him and then ghosted him, and he’s been a bit…in a bad mood.”
Although, now that he thinks about it, Buck’s straight up denial about Abby having dumped him has kept his mood afloat well enough. Up until Eddie showed up at the 118. But Chimney can’t fathom how the two would be related.
Eddie nods like that makes sense and they continue getting ready for their shift.
Chimney does his best to stay out of Buck’s way for most of the morning. It’s only by coincidence he finds himself in the gym at the same time as Buck and Eddie. Buck, clearly trying to comfort himself with the hot firefighter calendar, starts taking selfies over by the bench press.
Chimney does not know why Eddie decides to start something.
“You’re in the wrong light, man,” Eddie says. Chim frowns. Light? For a selfie?
“Some of us don’t need lighting to look good,” Buck shoots back.
Chim glances at Buck, but he’s distracted by himself.
“Hey, Eddie? What did you mean by the wrong light?” Chim asks.
Eddie explains about warm side lighting as opposed to flat blue light, and shows off the pictures his niece had taken for him. Chimney doubts that most of the effect is just because of lighting. As he’d pointed out on Eddie’s first shift, that is a beautiful man.
Still, having well done photos can’t hurt.
“You think she’d be willing to take my pictures for me? I’m told I photograph like an Asian Fabio,” Chim says, which gets him a laugh from Eddie.
“Sure she would,” he says.
And then, of course, Hurricane Buck.
“You shouldn’t get his hopes up,” he says to Eddie, all glower. “No offence, Chim.”
Chimney isn’t sure how he’s supposed to take that as anything but offensive. But—
He’s got a heart of gold, Chim reminds himself. He’s got a goddamn heart of gold.
“None taken,” he says, heading back to his bench dips. “Evan.”
He gets maybe two reps in before he hears Eddie say, “Okay, man, what’s your problem?”
Chimney winces and looks over to see Buck getting up in Eddie’s face.
“Okay, you,” Buck says. Chimney frowns. Eddie? It really is personal? “You’re my problem. Your comfort level. You’re – you’re not supposed to just walk in here like you’ve been here for years. There’s supposed to be a getting-to-know-you period. You’re meant to respect your elders.”
That’s what Buck is pissed about?
“You’re not his elder, Buck,” Chim points out. As he says it, he realises he doesn’t actually know how old Eddie is. He’s been assuming due to his work history that he’s on the other side of thirty from Buck, but he doesn’t actually know.
“Look,” Eddie says. He sounds calm and rational, in complete contrast to Buck’s anger and irritation, which Chim takes as a good sign. “I in no way meant to, uh, be too familiar or step on anybody’s toes. I know you’re going through some personal stuff right now.”
Out of the corner of his eye, Chimney can see Buck flinch.
“What personal stuff?” he asks.
Whoops.
“I know your girlfriend recently broke up with you and you’re coming to terms with that,” Eddie says.
“No, I’m not,” Buck says. Which, points for honesty, Chim thinks. “And she didn’t break up with me. Who told you that?”
When they both turn to look at him, Chim tries to melt into his exercise equipment.
“I’m just saying, I hear you’re a good guy, and I’m sorry you’re going through pain but you don’t need to take it out on me,” Eddie says.
“I’m not in pain,” Buck snaps, wounded.
Chim doesn’t mean to heave a dramatic sigh, but it happens. Buck rounds on him.
“And why are you telling all of my personal shit to strangers?” Buck asks.
Chim winces. There are a lot of reasons – Eddie asked; Eddie is already a clear part of the team, not a stranger; because Chimney’s worried about him and gossip is how they deal with things at the 118; but he doesn’t think Buck’s in a mood to accept any of those.
“I asked if you were pissed at me or something else,” Eddie says. “And I’m sorry about your girlfriend, man, I know what it’s like to have someone you thought loved you disappear on you in the dead of night.”
Chimney stops doing his dips and turns to scan Eddie, concerned. But Eddie’s just looking at Buck.
“She didn’t – I drove her to the airport,” Buck says.
He sounds so damn small and vulnerable that despite how much of a dick he’s been recently, Chim kind of wants to just hug him. He’s spent so much of the past four months since Abby left acting like he was completely fine most of the time, and so they hadn’t really…
Well, they hadn’t been there for him. Bobby’s got his reasons, Chim knows, since Hen’s almost certainly right about the secret Bobby-Athena relationship going on in the background. But Chim and Hen could’ve done better.
“Look, man, all I can tell you is that staying in denial isn’t gonna help,” Eddie says. “You’re still gonna get the divorce papers in the mail eventually.”
“We weren’t—” Buck starts and Chimney almost jumps into the conversation to make sure Buck isn’t actually that stupid. “Oh.”
“Truce?” Eddie asks, taking off one of his boxing gloves and holding his hand out in Buck’s direction.
Buck swallows and, after a long, awkward moment, takes Eddie’s hand. “You’re still a probie.”
“I promise you, there is no worse hazing you can do to me than the guys in Afghanistan already did,” Eddie says.
Chimney wonders if he feels like eating those words later that night when Eddie and Buck get into an ambulance with a live grenade. Chim and Hen aren’t on the call with them, since they were already doing a transport from the previous call, but when they all get back to the station, something has clearly shifted between Buck and Eddie.
“You two idiots got in an ambulance with a live grenade?” Hen demands, hands on her hips. Chim has seen her deploy this expression at Denny before. It usually gets her immediate apologies and chagrin.
“Eddie was an army medic,” Buck says. “We were totally safe.”
“Until the ambulance exploded,” Eddie points out.
“Yeah, but we weren’t in it anymore,” Buck says, knocking his shoulder into Eddie’s while they sit at the kitchen counter together. Hen shakes her head slowly, like she can’t believe what she’s hearing. “And besides! We saved the patient.”
“Which is what matters,” Eddie adds.
Hen throws her hands up, exasperated. “I’m so glad there are two of you now.”
She stalks off and Chim watches while Buck and Eddie exchange bright smiles. Chim couldn’t say for sure, but he thinks the last time Buck smiled like that, he was talking to Abby. Which is certainly a development Chim didn’t see coming.
He finds Buck later in the bunks.
“Hey,” he says, knocking on Buck’s partition. Buck isn’t asleep, he’s just scrolling through his phone. “Got a sec?”
“Sure,” Buck says, sitting up and dropping his phone into his lap.
“I’m sorry about earlier,” Chim says. “Telling Eddie about Abby, I mean. I don’t think any of us really realised how much you’re still hurting over that.”
“I’m fine,” Buck says. It’s too quick, and just a bit too sharp to be genuine.
Chim just waits.
“I’m – I’ve – I’ve been single for four months, haven’t I?” Buck asks quietly.
“Yeah,” Chim says, because Eddie had pointed out, denial just hurts more.
“Great,” Buck says. He clears his throat a couple times like he’s trying to get rid of a blockage. Chimney takes that as an opportunity to clap him on the shoulder.
“You’ve still got your family,” Chim says. “By which I mean the 118, because as far as you’ve said, you may as well have sprung out of the ground fully formed.”
Buck snorts. “I’ve got a sister,” he says, which is the first biological family member Chimney has ever heard Buck mention. “Maddie. She’s actually sleeping on my couch right now.”
“God, a female Buck,” Chim says. “I can’t even imagine how terrifying that must be.”
Buck scoffs and elbows him. “She’s not like me at all. You might even like her. She’s basically the best person ever, just a heart of pure gold.”
Chimney doesn’t quite trust Buck’s judgement when it comes to his sister, but if he’s right, well…
“Certain shitty comments you’ve made recently aside, that sounds exactly like you, Buckaroo,” Chim says.
“Thanks, Chim,” Buck says and sounds like he means it. “And I’m sorry for being a dick.”
Chim nods and claps him on the shoulder again before turning to head back to his own bunk.
“Hey, Chim?”
Chimney pauses.
“Do you think Eddie’s—”
Chimney waits, but all Buck says is “never mind.”
Their next call isn’t until morning when they find a group of idiots who have cemented their friend’s head into a microwave. When the kid falls into a pool, Buck jumps in to save him without hesitation and Eddie is only a split second behind him.
Chim doesn’t think about it until they’re all back at the station and changing out for the end of shift, but he thinks that this particular level of drift compatibility between Buck and Eddie might be a bit of a dangerous thing.
When they’re all back in civvies, Eddie says goodbye to everyone and starts to leave, only for Buck to follow him out, calling, “Hey! Eddie! There’s a really great brunch place down the street if you want to grab something, maybe?”
Chim and Hen watch them go, and wait until they’ve both driven off – together, even if in separate vehicles – before commenting.
“They’re gonna give us all heart attacks, aren’t they,” Hen says, resigned.
“Oh yeah,” Chim agrees.
“At least Buck seems happier?” Hen asks.
“Small victories,” Chim replies. “I’ll see you on Thursday.”
“See you then,” she says, going back to cleaning her locker.
Chimney only makes it as far as the parking lot before he’s stopped dead in his tracks by a breathtakingly beautiful woman. He’s never been a poetry kind of guy, but he’s pretty sure he could wax poetic about the bright stars in her eyes for several days if pressed. It doesn’t hurt that she’s holding a large Tupperware of baked goods.
“How can I help?” Chim asks, swallowing his gum. There’s nowhere to spit it out and no way to do that in front of a pretty girl that doesn’t look tacky.
“I was actually looking for Evan Buckley,” she says. “I wanted to surprise him. He said he was having a kind of intense shift.”
Chimney feels an instant spike of envy, and then realises who she is.
“You must be Buck’s sister,” he says.
“I am,” she agrees. “Maddie Kendall. Well, Buckley, again, I guess.”
“I’m Chimney,” he says, offering her his hand to shake.
She balances the container of baked goods on one forearm and shakes his hand. “It’s nice to put a face to a name. Buck says you’re one of the best guys at the station.”
Chimney can’t help but smile at that. “That’s funny, I was just saying the same thing about him.”
Maddie laughs and Chimney is struck by the desire to make her laugh always.
He stands there, grinning at her like an idiot, for much longer than he should until Maddie finally says, “So, where would I find him?”
“Oh! Sorry! You just missed him,” Chimney says. “He already left for a brunch date with the probie.”
Maddie’s eyebrows lift, delighted. “A date?”
Chim shrugs. “I’m not sure either of them knows that part, but definitely.”
“How about I put these down somewhere and you tell me absolutely everything,” Maddie suggests, holding up the box of muffins.
“I don’t know if I should,” Chim says, showing her up the stairs to the loft where D shift are working on the coffee maker. “I kinda got in trouble for telling people things about him recently.”
“Mm, big sister’s prerogative,” Maddie says, happily accepting the cup of coffee Chimney offers her.
“Okay, but if he yells at me again, I’m blaming you,” Chimney says. He takes one of the muffins from the now open container and groans. So not only is she gorgeous and the best person ever by Buck’s estimation, she can also cook and she thinks Chimney is funny. “These are amazing.”
“Thank you,” Maddie says. “And I’m sure we can work something out about Buck re blame. So long as you dish.”
Chimney grins. “Deal.”

I Know You, I Love You (END)
Tumblr media
Pairing: Bucky x Reader
Warnings: Fluff, just fluff, a bit of flashback, bucky being the boyfriend we never have
Words count: 1,8k
Summary: The Avengers is on a mission to extracting HYDRA’s files in Siberia, the mission didn’t go as they planned and force Nick Fury to finally let you join them. You have ability to connects with every electricity and electronic devices leaving you as the best asset of S.H.I.E.L.D. When you help the Avengers you met with the most steel-blue eyes, and Bucky had this feelings that somehow he knows you, the question, who are you to Bucky?
Finally the last chapter of I Know You, I Love You! It's been a wild ride since last year when i decided to go on hiatus. I wrote this today, somehow I got enlighten how to plot the ending of this series, I hope you guys like the ending!
You woke up feeling your neck felt stiff, you blink couple times taking in your surroundings, you’re in an alley a very familiar one. You remember this place, you are in China at the alley where your parents shot to death.
You walk down the alley trying to understand how you came here, because the last thing you remember, you’re in a dark room full of HYDRA agents.
You stop dead in your track when you saw little you running towards a man, towards Rumlow, your breath hitch, you look to the side and find your parents screaming trying to stop you. You ran, you ran so fast trying to stop what’s going to happened next, and when Rumlow lift his gun aiming to your parents, you’re suddenly dragged to another alley.
Someone hugged you, pressing your face to their shoulder, two hands covering your ears blocking the sound gunshot. You close your eyes shut, clutching your hands tightly onto his leather jacket.
The hands on your ear loosen and now cupping your cheeks, pulling your face upwards. You’re not ready to open your eyes, you’re not ready because you knew what just happened.
“(y/n), open your eyes, it’s me, it’s us” you heard the man’s voice, you’re familiar with his voice. Slowly you opened your eyes, and you’re starring at your dad.
“Dad?” you sobs, “Hey sweetheart” he smiled, the smiled you always missed everyday, and then a soft hand tapping your shoulder, you turned around, tears rolled down your eyes, “Mom?” she open her arms, embracing you with a tight hug.
You inhale her scent, you always love her vanilla coconut smell. She let go, brushing your hair to the side of your face, “let me see that beautiful smile” you smiled at her, trying to stop the tears that keeps falling from your eyes.
“I missed you guys so much” you spoke, “Oh honey, please don’t cry” your dad assured you, you always love his soothing voice, the most gentle voice you’ve ever heard.
You looked up at them, “I’m sorry” you stuttered through your cries, “Hey, hey. Sweetheart, it’s not your fault” your mom looked you in the eyes, “It’s never your fault. We should’ve told you what happened between Rumlow and S.H.I.E.L.D” she smiled.
Your dad smiling taking in your feature, “How can I repay Fury for helping you grow into such a beautiful strong young woman” you smiled at him, “Dad, I’m far from that” you giggled, “that’s the sound we missed the most” he chuckled.
“I still remembered very clear the day you were born” your mom spoke, “You cried really loud” your dad chuckled, “I held your tiny feature and you grasp my index finger tightly, sent me a bit of shockwave” your dad spoke with so much sparks in his eyes.
“Don’t forget when you try to put her down” your mom spoke, gaining his attention, “OH! Right! How could I forget? You cried so loud until the electricity in whole room shut down” your eyes widen, they never told you about this.
“What a naughty little me” you chuckled, “that’s when I knew, I gave birth to the most badass girl in the world” your mom smiled.
“We’re sorry, we can’t watch you grow, we’re not there when you cried, when you laugh, when you first fall in love” your dad smirks, you eyed him, rising one of your eyebrow, “That metal arm guy? He’s quite a catch” he nudged your shoulder, “Dad!” your mom laughed watching the both of you being playful.
“We’re sorry” once again both of them spoke, “Mom, dad, don’t say that- I’m the one who should be sorry, if I-, if I- atleast learn better about my powers, I could stop him, I shouldn’t trust anyone beside you guys” you spoke, looking down at your feet.
Your dad put his thumb and index finger on your chin, “It’s not your fault, you hear me?” his voice gentle, but stern, “Let go of the burden on your shoulder, honey. We’re already in peace, and we will always be watching from above” your mom spoke.
“As much as I love our little reunion, it’s time for you to wake up” she looked you in the eyes, assuring you that they’re both fine, “He is waiting for you, sweetheart. If you’re staying longer, I think he will go crazy” your smiled, “Don’t let those bad memories consume you, there are a lot of people who loves you, especially him”
“You guys okay if we’re together?” you asked, “I told you he is quite a catch” your dad winked, “Now go wake up, he has been waiting for you to open your eyes for God-knows-how-long” your mom smiled.
You nodded, and hugged them one last time, inhaling their scent and feeling their warmth that you missed since forever.
Your eyes flutter open, blinking couple times and finally fully regain your conscious, so you've been dreaming. You look around, finding that you’re lying in a medbay. You look to your left, there he is, your metal arm lover, sleeping peacefully, head resting on the side of your bed, hand holding your fingers tightly, you smiled remembering what your parents said, you’re really falling in love with this guy.
You wiggled your fingers slowly trying not to wake him up, you freed your hand from his grasp, running your fingers through his hair. You notice, his hair grew longer than you remember, and suddenly he stirred in his sleep.
Bucky saw that his hand is no longer holding yours, he felt a hand running on his hairs, the delicate fingers that hold so much care, he looked up and saw you smiling at him, he scooted closer, “you’re awake” voice so low, like he didn’t believe what he saw, “I am awake” you smiled at him, tracing your fingers on his cheek bone, “I thought I lost you” tears rolled down from his eyes, “you didn’t” you assured him.
“I had a dream” you spoke, still looking at his eyes, he took your left hand kissed the back of your palm, “Tell me” Bucky spoke, “I met my parents” Bucky knew everytime you’re having a dream about your parents, it’s always those memories, the memories of their death that always haunt you, but this time, you’re smiling, and his brows furrowed.
“I told them I’m sorry, and they assured me that all of this isn’t my fault, that they’re now in peace” you looked up to the ceiling, “I feel like, the weight on my shoulder has been lifted up” you breathe a long exhale, “isn’t that good?” he intertwined your fingers with his, “It is, oh, we also talked about you” you looked at him.
“You talked about me in your dreams, with your parents?” he grinned from ear to ear, “You really must love me, don’t you?” you chuckled at him, and the next word coming out of your mouth made Bucky’s heart skipped thousand beats, “I do, I do love you, I told you before remember?” his right hand made it way to tucked your hair behind your ears, “I remember, and I love you too, so, so much”
“What did you told my parents about me?” he asked, eyes full of curiosity, “My dad brought it up, he said you’re quite a catch” you winked at him, “I should tell your dad, you’re the one who’s quite a catch, darling” he grinned, and even in your current state, Bucky still saw you as the most beautiful women he ever laid his eyes on.
He leaned down to your face, you tilt your head to the side, his eyes falls to your lips, and when your eyes flutter shut waiting for him to kiss you, the door burst open, and Bucky jumped back to his seat.
“How could you not inform that me she is awake? You’re being selfish here Barnes!” Fury spoke, walking fast towards you, Bucky groans, “Fury, we’re in the middle of something” he glared at him, “You both have plenty of times to kiss, let this old man see his favorite girl” Fury crouched down, his hand finding yours.
“How are you feeling?” he asked, “Like I’ve been out for a month” you chuckled, “You are” Fury smiled, “God, don’t pull that act again, I can’t bear the thoughts of losing you. You’re the closest thing to a family for me” Fury held your hands tightly, “My parents said thank you” you spoke.
“Your parents?” Fury confused, you chuckled, “they came to my dreams, told me they’re very grateful that you help me grew up” you explained, “You’re the daughter of my favorite agents, the daughter of my bestfriend, I would never abandon you” he spoke, “I’m sorry for putting you into so much burden Fury, I know I haven’t been myself in a long time, I’m sorry” Fury smiled assuring you that you don’t need to be sorry.
“She is awake guys!” Natasha barge in, alongside with Sam, Tony, Steve, Wanda and Clint. They’re rushing to your sides, asking how are you feeling, are you okay, anything hurts, and else. You took in your surroundings, and your heart swell, the conversation with your parents rang in your head, you are really surrounded by people who loved you, and you are very thankful for that.
After your little reunion with Fury and the avengers, your eyes finally found the blue eyes you’ve been searching for. You didn’t realize the avengers has pushed him back to the corner of the room just to be at your side, you smiled at him with pleading eyes for him to save you from the crowded room.
He stepped forward, shaking his eyes and chuckled, “Alright reunion is over, my girlfriend here needs to rest” everyone groans in annoyance, and one by one stepping out of the room, Fury the last. He put his hand on Bucky’s shoulder, “Remember what I told you in the jet?” Fury whispered, “Don’t worry, like I told you. Hurting her, leaving her, never cross my mind” Bucky looked into Fury’s eyes, “I’ll hold on to your words, Barnes” he nodded and leave.
Bucky now sat down next to you, “girlfriend, huh?” you asked, grinning at him, “Yeah, girlfriend. Now, where were we?” You chuckled, he leans in and capture your lips in the sweetest kiss he ever gave you. His right hand cupped your jaw, tilting your head more to deepen the kiss which you accept wholeheartedly.
His words rang in your head, no matter how far you ran, he will always find you. You both pulled away, forehead pressed against each other, you bit your bottom lip and smiled, he looked you in the eyes, and you knew you will never bored to be lost in his cerulean blue eyes.
“Stay next to me?” you asked, he nodded and climbed into the small medical bed, putting your head on his chest, hugging you tightly, and you knew his embrace will always be your safe place.

Owner Training - 9
Tumblr media
- Lonely Kitten - 
If there was anything that made you hate having to get up at the crack of dawn to go to work besides the fact that you were actually going to work , it was the sight that greeted you when you went to say your goodbyes for the day.
Yoongi was curled up on the right side of the bed, the blankets pulled up so much you could barely see his face. He looked so comfortable and cozy, and you wanted nothing more than to climb back into bed and let his soft purrs lull you back to sleep.
Yoongi suddenly does that weird snore/snort combo he does when he’s jolted from sleep, and he turns to the other side, now facing the doorway. His eyes are still closed but your heart flutters a little when he tugs some blankets back like he’d worried he’d pulled them off of you.
You grin and walk up to him, bending over to press a small kiss to his forehead. He cracks one eye open and looks up at you sleepily.
“Work?” he mumbles, his voice adorably slurred.
“Yeah, sweetheart. I’ll see you later, kay?”
He hums and smacks his lips. “Don’t stay too late. You’ve been working too much.”
He had a point. You’ve already worked nine days straight this week and you were going crazy.
“I won’t. Today should be an easy day.”
How he manages to project so much skepticism with just one eye is a mystery.
“Promise?”
“Sure, baby. I promise. Love you.”
“Love,” is all he manages to mumble before he falls back asleep.
****
The thing about your job is that...you hate it. You’d gone into this job expecting to be able to make a difference. That you’d find abandoned kids great homes, bring families together, or...you didn’t even know. It was a lot of rainbows and unicorns. The reality of it was that you saw a lot of kids being given back to abusive homes because their dad passed an anger management class, only to be back in the system six months later. Parents would take each other to court over visitation rights, and only relent when they received even more money from the other. And those were just some of the more mild issues. Basically, this job had opened your eyes to the fact that people were monsters.
And on top of the actual work, was the fact that your seniors and boss made your life a hell. Instead of treating you with the respect due to you as a fellow lawyer with the same shiny degrees as them, they instead handed their work off on you or made you do menial tasks like you were just another paralegal ( NOT to shit on paralegals either - their job was hella hard too).
You didn’t even have your own office! You were just another desk in the sea of paralegals and secretaries. When you’d brought it up at your last review, you’d been told it was because you were the new hire and you had to work your way up. Well, you’d been working here for several years now, and the hotshot young guy straight out of Yale that they’d hired a year ago already had a private office and his own secretary.
Literally, the only thing keeping you going these days was the fact that you needed the money and you didn’t know what else to do. At least you had Yoongi waiting for you at home to look forward to.
“L/N, I’m going to need your help with these pleadings. Need them done for tomorrow. Thanks,” Johnson, one of the lawyers you hated the most, threw a pack of client interview notes on your desk and struts off without even giving you a chance to reply.
You sigh and look at the packet, debating setting them on fire and walking out of the building like a boss. But then he’d just complain to the big boss, who would call you in and give you a talking to. It all seemed like too much of a hassle. (You knew you were being bullied for being the only female lawyer here - it was ridiculous and sexist. Like, hello? Is this 1924? No.)
You’d get out of here eventually. Somehow. For now, you simply pull the packets closer and get to work.
Yoongi is going to kill you.
****
When you arrive home and finally kick off your heels with a happy sigh, it suddenly hits you that your apartment is silent. No TV, no booming rap music, not even the blessed sounds of cooking that your empty stomach had been looking forward to.
“Yoongi?”
“Nice of you to join us.”
You jump as he mumbles the words, finally pinpointing him in the corner of the dining room. He’s lounging in one of the chairs with his arms folded, his eyes screaming his disappointment.
“I know I’m late, I’m sorry.”
“Late, she says. It’s past midnight,” he scoffs.
“I know! I was going to leave earlier but I got stuck with some extra work.”
“You promised.”
His tone hurts you and you feel horrible.
He reaches out his hand, looking you dead in the eye...and pushes your vase of wildflowers right onto the floor.
The glasses crashes everywhere and he merely sits back and looks at the mess with a slight smirk.
“What the fuck, Yoongi?”
He shrugs. “It was in my way.”
“Why do you... aw hell ,” you whisper, feeling tears well in your eyes.
Suddenly, he leans foreword, looking at you with alarm. “Why the fuck are you crying? No, wait , stop that.”
“I’m so so-sorry,” you hiccup, as your tears turn to wails. “I’m a horrible person and a horrible girlfriend. I can’t do anything right. I’m a failure.”
Yoongi rushes to you and crouches down, pulling you into his chest.
“No, you’re amazing. The best. I’m just throwing a tantrum like a baby because I miss you. I’m sorry, I’ll be better,” he croons, petting your back frantically in an attempt to comfort you.
You lean into his touch and let yourself cry until chest and throat throb in pain too much to continue. Yoongi presses a kiss to your forehead.
“Better?” me mutters, and you nod your head, finally looking up at him. His eyes are red too, with tear tracks down his cheek. You swipe at them and he kisses your hand.
“Sorry,” you whisper hoarsely, and he shakes his head.
“No need. I’m sorry I was being a brat.”
“You have a point though. I’m never home.”
“Because you’re literally working to take care of us.”
“Yeah, but...even I know that they are working me too much. I’ve never been so stressed in my life, Yoongi. And today I had to literally watch some kid cry and be torn away from the foster family that’s been raising him since he was two weeks old and be given to his druggie mother who he’s seen once in three years. I just...how is that okay?”
“It’s not. Not everyone has as big a heart as you, love.”
You grunt and relax into his touch as he pets your hair soothingly.
“If you could find something else, what would you do?”
You consider the question. “I’m not sure. I think there’s still a part of me that desires to help and make a difference, but then there’s the me that’s been at this for awhile that isn’t sure that’s realistic. I’d still work in law, but...I don’t know. I don’t know who would actually need me.”
He hums and tilts your head up. “Want some tea?”
“Yes please,” you smile softly as he stands up and reaches out a hand to help you up.
He peeks sheepishly at the glass and gestures for you to go sit on the couch.
“I’ll clean it up”
“Seriously though, Yoongi. My vase?”
“Honestly, I’ve been feeling the urge to push that off the table for a few days and I just used that as an excuse. I’ve also been eyeing the wine glass display, but I’ve held off since I actually use those,” he chuckled on his way to the kitchen.
“Don’t you dare. Bad Kitty.”
“Kinky,” he hums, then you hear the click of the electric kettle.
You wait in silence, exhausted after your outburst of emotion. Truthfully, it was probably long-due. A few minutes later Yoongi returns and hands you a mug full of lemon and ginger tea, blowing on his own mug as he settles in next to you.
“I had a thought,” he rumbles after taking a sip.
“Finally,” you snort, grinning when he pinches you.
“You never call in sick or go anywhere so you probably have a shit load of vacation time saved up, right?”
“Oh, yeah. I should have at least a couple weeks worth. I usually just cash out at the end of the year.”
“Take it. Let’s go on vacation. No sense killing yourself over a job you hate, and I want to spend some time with you.”
You sigh, leaning into Yoongi’s warmth. “Yeah, you’re right. Where shall we go?”
He shrugs. “Jeju? I don’t know. I don’t care as long as it’s somewhere with a nice bed and I get to see you in a bikini”
You pinch him and he laughs unapologetically.
“You know I love you right? No matter how much I’m away or if we are having some stupid fight - I love you,” you ask, your voice soft and a little shy.
He picks up your free hand and places a kiss on the back of it, squeezing it gently.
“I love you too, even when I’m being a brat or when you forget to pick up ice cream.”
“Wow, that’s deep.”
“What can I say?” he shrugs. “I’m a man of refined tastes.”
****

“Stop borrowing flowers out of my garden to woo people who don’t even treat you right.” said by Jiang Cheng! Hm, could you make this mingcheng???
This one got away from me so it’s a tiny bit longer than the usual, oops?
The problem was that strictly speaking, it wasn’t a garden. It was just a patch of dirt on the side of a long abandoned construction project that had never been completed due to lack of funds, or embezzlement, or some other bullshit that Jiang Cheng had never cared enough about to try and find out.
It wasn’t a garden.
But Jiang Cheng had been planting flowers there, out of sheer boredom, because he lived right next door and missed the greeneries of his parents’ house. Their garden had always been gorgeous, perfectly maintained by his mother, an absolute work of art. It was the only place she seemed happy. It was the only thing Jiang Cheng missed about his old life. Those quiet moments when his mother, in a fit of good mood, took him around her garden, her one true love, and explained to him about the plants and how to best care for them. People in their circle would sometimes joke that Zu Ziyuan loved her garden more than her family.
Jiang Cheng had never found it funny. Perhaps because he knew what it was like to envy mulberry leaves for the tenderness with which Yu Ziyuan would remove caterpillars from them, when she could hardly be near her son without pushing him around.
For a while, Jiang Cheng had hated gardens. That wasn’t the whole reason why he’d moved to the city, but it had probably impacted his choice anyway. He’d wanted to get as far away from his parents’ life as he could.
But in the end, something must have run in his blood. After months of walking by that abandoned patch of dirt, Jiang Cheng had given in one day. He’d bought some bulbs and seeds, a beginner’s guide to gardening, and set out to work.
It had surprised him when flowers actually started growing. Jiang Cheng was used to failure, and his mother used to tell him he had no skill for gardening. No skill for anything really, but gardening in particular seemed to piss her off. 
But there were some wallflowers and geraniums to prove she’d been wrong about this.
About other things too, perhaps. For the time being, Jiang Cheng just clung to the gardening thing.
The entire first week after the flowers started growing, Jiang Cheng expected that whoever owned the plot of land would come to pour bleach on them. It was private property after all. But the plot appeared to be fully abandoned, and that meant Jiang Cheng was free to do as he pleased.
He got more flowers, making sure to pick varieties that were good for bees, because that would make his sister happy, if he ever got around to calling her. He also planted tomatoes, and after hesitation a few courgettes, because those grew like weeds and it wouldn’t matter if someone stole a few, or even all of them. It was the sort of things that’d make his brother happy, except he talked to him even less than to his sister, so Jiang Cheng wasn’t sure why that mattered.
What mattered was that the garden made him happy in a way he hadn’t been in a while. It gave him something to care about. To care for. Something to check on in the morning as he headed out to work, a place to spend a little time when he came home. It encouraged some of the neighbours to chat with him, when up until then they’d apparently half wondered if he was a serial killer with his constant angry face. The little old lady next door asked if she could borrow some of the vegetables growing, and gave him half the dish she made using them.
It felt like a homecooked meal, in a way the family gatherings he still occasionally attended never did.
“You should try planting daylilies,” she suggested. “Pretty and delicious, it’d be a win. My grandmother used to prepare them for us, I’m sure I can remember how to do it too.”
Jiang Cheng did as she asked, and sweet old madam Wen delivered on her promise when the flowers were ready. She invited Jiang Cheng to have lunch with him one Sunday, when her nephew and niece were there. It should have been awkward, but madam Wen was a cheerful old lady that managed to get all three of them chatting as if they’d always known each other.
Better than if they’d always known each other, in Jiang Cheng’s case.
He ended up trading phone numbers with both siblings. Not because he felt like flirting with either, as their aunt so clearly hoped for, but so he knew who to contact if something happened to the old lady. Wen Qing wasn’t very chatty, except to complain about their roommate from hell, but Wen Ning often asked for photos of the garden, and in exchange sent Jiang Cheng pictures of the dogs he got to see at the veterinary clinic where he worked.
For the first time in years, Jiang Cheng felt that things weren’t so bad.
So when one evening after work he dropped by his garden and saw a stranger in an expensive thought pacing by his courgettes, Jiang Cheng felt a familiar dread. If this was the plot’s owner, if he had come to ruin things…
Jiang Cheng rushed ahead, ready to plead his case.
Then stopped after a few steps when the man turned his way. He was handsome. Very handsome. The sort of handsome that belonged on the pages of a magazine, not in the middle of Jiang Cheng’s shitty illegal garden.
The man was also on the phone with someone, and apparently so deep in an argument that he didn’t even see Jiang Cheng just a few metres from him.
“You are the worst,” the man shouted at his phone, “and I swear I’m kicking you out this time. I will… no, don’t cry. Stop crying, it doesn’t work anymore! You…”
The handsome stranger started pacing nervously between the courgettes as whoever was on the other end of the conversation made their case.
“Listen, you are going to calm down, ok? I’m… hey, I’m bringing you flowers. How does that sound?”
He leaned down toward the daylilies, not yet picking one as he waited for the other person to reply.
“Of course real flowers. You… listen, I don’t have the energy for this. We’ll deal with it when I get home.”
The man hung up, and started tearing away Jiang Cheng’s flowers, roots and all, like a barbarian.
Jiang Cheng had always allowed everyone to take what they wanted or needed, but only if they showed some respect for his efforts.
“Stop borrowing flowers out of my garden to woo people who don’t even treat you right!” he barked, stomping toward the man.
The handsome stranger, startled, dropped the flowers.
“Your garden? What do you mean, your garden?”
“You think this got here on its own?” Jiang Cheng asked, gesturing at his garden. It wasn’t as beautiful as his mother’s, but it was his all the same and it loved his plants.
The man looked around with wide eyes, as if he hadn’t even noticed before where he was.
“Sorry, I thought they were just… wild flowers. Did you plant all of those?”
“Not the pumpkins, that’s the kids from down the streets who thought it’d be fun. And the herbs are madam Wen’s because she doesn’t like getting them from the store if she can get fresh ones. But the rest is mine.”
“Must have been a lot of work,” the man said with an admirative whistle. “I can make a cactus die of thirst, so I’m impressed, you must be really good. You’ve been at it for a while?”
“A couple months,” Jiang Cheng grumbled, refusing to let praise from a handsome man get to him. “I live next door and this place has been abandoned for ages apparently.”
“So it’s not your garden,” the stranger noted with a grin. “Well, if you’ve stolen the land, I feel less bad about stealing flowers. It’s not like you can call the cops on me.”
He bent down, ready to slaughter more flowers, so Jiang Cheng did the logical thing and pushed him to protect his daylilies. The handsome stranger fell in the dirt, which thankfully was dry and wouldn’t stain too badly. Jiang Cheng wasn’t sure he could afford to repay that suit.
“If you’re going to steal my flowers for your shitty manipulative wife, at least do it properly. Nobody wants a bouquet with roots.”
The man blinked a few times, a little disoriented after being pushed down. When he saw Jiang Cheng grab the torn daylilies and carefully cut the stems so he could replant the roots, the stranger laughed.
“You’re really passionate about this, uh,” he said, standing up and wiping the dirt from his suit. “That wasn’t my wife on the phone, by the way.”
“Your manipulative husband then,” Jiang Cheng retorted, cutting a few more flowers.
“Little brother,” the man corrected. “Apparently he got drunk last week, slept with my best friend, panicked, ghosted him, left town for five days to hide at his best friend’s house, and now he’s… ah, but you probably don’t care.”
Jiang Cheng shouldn’t care, no, but he couldn’t help laughing at the crazy story. It sounded like something right out of a shitty soap opera, or the kind of bullshit that Wei Wuxian used to pull all the time, back when he was still part of Jiang Cheng’s life.
“My brother’s the same,” Jiang Cheng said, handing out the small bouquet he’d managed to salvage. “Did you take those so he can go apologise to your friend?”
“Honestly, I’m not sure if he’s going to give them to Xichen or if he just wants to keep them to feel spoiled. I’m not sure I’ll give them to him, anyway. It’s not every day a handsome man gives me a bouquet, I’ll be tempted to keep it.”
Jiang Cheng shrugged and rolled his eyes, and absolutely did not blush like a schoolgirl being complimented by her crush.
“Just go give those to your brother. And learn to cut flowers properly, asshole.”
“If I drop by again, will you teach me?”
Jiang Cheng shrugged again and turned away, so it wouldn’t be too obvious just how red his face was. He’d have slapped himself if he could have. It was ridiculous to react so strongly. His only excuse was that the man was really, really gorgeous and had a really, really nice voice… and that it had been a long while since anyone had flirted with him, even this badly.
“Maybe I will, if I can find the time. My life’s not a fucking soap opera but I have my own stuff to do.”
“Fair enough. Well, I hope I’ll see you around. It was nice talking to you.”
Jiang Cheng shrugged, and refused to turn around to watch that too handsome man go, though he might have been slightly tempted.
He’d lost enough time to that asshole already, and the tomatoes weren’t going to water themselves.

Hi there! Could I maybe get a fred Weasley x Romanian!Reader and maybe like she goes to the burrow for the holidays? She could try to confess to him by telling him he loves him in Romanian but always telling him it means sth else. But she doesn't know about Charlie and the fact that he used to live there, and then... y'know, up to you? Just thought this was an interesting idea lmaoo. Thank you and congrats!!🥺💕
Te Iubesc [F.W.]
Pairing: Fred Weasley x Romanian!reader (can be from any House really)
A/N: I ended up changing a bit of your context and only noticed it later, and I’m really sorry for that. Instead of she saying it all the time, she accidentally confesses it in Romanian. I'm sorry it's not what you actually asked for, but I hope you enjoy it either way.
Send a request! ||  Harry Potter Masterlist ||  Musical Hogwarts Series
**
It was particularly weird being a Romanian at Hogwarts, but since it was your parents’ dream to you study there, you were not to complain.
It took you a while to find your place, but it was way easy when the famous Weasley Twins played a prank on you. 
When your whole body turned blue, and you ran around the corridors of Hogwarts, asking, angrily, if anyone had seen who could be guilty of it — you knew it could only have been the twins. They appeared two hours later in front of you, with puckered foreheads and using minimal eye contact. One of them had a flask, and he handed it to you.
“We’re really sorry,” he said, with an almost smile, but not of happiness. He wouldn’t dare laugh at your blue skin while you stared at him with a killer expression. “It wasn’t for you; we mixed it up in the deliver.”
“And what is this?” you asked, raising the flask closer to your eyes to analyze it better.
“The antidote,” one of them said.
“You don’t want to be forever blue, do you?” asked the other and they both giggled.
You drank all the liquid in one gulp, desperate to go back to your natural colour. The twins stared at you while your body changed its colour, and you couldn’t see the point. What did they want? Thanks?
“Are you two expecting me to thank you?” you asked, with a mean voice.
They exchanged looks before smiling.
“No, we just would like to introduce ourselves, that’s all,” said the one that had more freckles.
“You’re Fred and George Weasley, everyone knows who you are,” you rolled your eyes, crossing your arms over your chest. You saw their eyes following your arms, and then they blushed. You chuckled at those boys stupidity.
“But do you know which is which?” he continued, smirking. “I’m Fred,” he whispered, tipping you since you hadn’t answered his question.
“I’m George,” said the other.
You took a great look at both of their faces, making sure you discerned things that would make it easier to differentiate them. Fred had a better posture, nothing very perfect, but just slightly better than George. And he had more freckles, at least on his face he did.
“I’m y/N,” you said, noticing they were waiting for you to present yourself.
And that was enough for a born of a beautiful friendship.
The pranks still got you, those times on purpose, but they all gave you a break when you asked. You started helping them with their homework and study for exams — even though they hated it.
You lost track of how many vacation days you spent in the Burrow, and this year, you were going back there. You were especially excited this year — and partly worried — because, since the beginning of the sixth year, you’ve been developing an enormous, gigantic crush on Fred.
So, spending the Christmas holiday with the Weasleys, having Fred next to you all weekend, was going to be awesome, but also terrifying because he had no idea you fancied him — and you wanted things to still be like that. 
Fred was known to have had tons of girlfriends — he usually told you everything about every girl he ever snogged. You didn’t want to be just another one that he would abandon in a month. That would completely ruin your friendship, and that meant being apart from a ton of other friends. Being friends with the twins allowed you to befriend Ginny, Ron, Hermione and Harry, and now they are essential in your life too.
“Hi, dear!” Molly hugged you tightly as soon as you stepped in the kitchen. You hugged her back once your shock passed. “I’m so happy to have you here for another year; surely I can’t stand my kids saying again I have a terrible taste for music.”
Oh, yeah, one fact: every Weasley kid (in particular Fred) hated your taste in music. They hated it because you loved the same singers as their mom did, and Fred disliked it the most. As more annoyed he got by your singing, more you sang.
“By the way,” you smiled, “you’ll love the present I got you. I know I shouldn’t say something yet,” you leaned in Mrs Weasley’s ear and whispered: “but I just wanna make sure you haven’t got Warbeck’s newest CD, have you?”
Molly Weasley gasped in surprise and hugged you even tighter.
“That’s why you’re my favourite!” she muttered in your ear and winked when you leaned away and faced her.
Blushing, you went upstairs to find the room Molly always left for you — it was Charlie’s old room. It was the closest to the twins, so you liked it. And the place was decorated with old faded posters of creatures only your home country could offer.
You’ve never met Charlie Weasley, only Bill and Percy, but you knew he was fascinated with dragons, and that your country had to offer. 
You lost a couple of minutes staring at one of the posters; not for the dragon, but because of the background — your old but forever home.
When you got out of the room, you didn’t even need to wander around to find the twins.
“y/N! You came!” shouted an excited Fred Weasley, getting you by your waist and spinning you around in a hug.
George was right next to his twin, rolling his eyes at how foolishly obvious you two were about fancying each other, but none would move a finger to change the situation.
“Of course! Wouldn’t miss it for the world!” you say when Fred finally puts you down. “Hey, George!”
George hugs you too, but not with the same passion as Fred. It makes you wonder if it was your fault somehow to why Fred spun you around. You should have gone with a simple embrace like you’re doing with George. Gosh, why having a crush has to be so hard?
“So, we’re planning a Quidditch game in the yard. You in?” Fred asked as soon as George released you.
“Sure,” you smiled, placing your hands on your waist. “But I’m seeker,” you warned, raising a brow.
“Harry will love to hear that,” George commented.
“And I need a broom,” you added, tilting your head, trying to look pity-worth.
“You can take mine,” Fred said while you three headed downstairs.
You stopped right away. George kept walking, and suddenly it was just you and Fred in the middle of the stairs.
“You’re gonna use your old one? No way; that thing sucks, Fred,” you said.
“But a seeker needs a better broom than a beater,” he pointed out, tilting his head towards you and some red locks fell upon his eyes. Instinctively, you reached for them and took away from his eyes. He blushed with a small smile.
“You’re too nice to me,” you said, nodding and starting to walk again.
“Perhaps you deserve it,” he muttered, half-hoping you wouldn’t hear, and half-hoping you would.
Fred has been playing this dangerous game for a while now — plainly flirting with you, expecting that if you didn’t see him that way, you would take it as a joke.
When the game finally started, you were glad to be in Fred’s team. Some arrangements had to be done to accommodate less than the minimum number of players per team, so instead of two beaters, your team had only Fred.
Ginny was your keeper; even though she hated the position, she was proving to be quite good at it. Of course, Ron, on the other side, was being way better.
The disadvantage for you was that although you are a great seeker, you had to be also a good chaser, because your team had only three players with you, so that left you with two jobs. Fred helped as much as he could, but he was more used to his role as a beater than to play a chaser.
When George’s team won — Harry got the Snitch (I mean, come on, how to compete?) — you were completely dirty.
You’d never tell Fred, but George was a better beater than the twin, so you’d been hit more times than you would’ve liked and ended up rolling on the grass, still wet from the rain the night before, enough times that your pants (which were blue jeans) were now the colour of mud.
None of this was bothering you, however. You were, in fact, laughing at yourself and everyone who was also dirty. Hermione had arrived in time to watch the last minutes of the match, but she was now trapped in the kitchen, with Ron and Harry filling her with bizarre theories. George and Ginny had run off right after the victory celebration, to see who could get to the shower first.
Although you have no idea how long you would still have to stay dirty, showering was your last concern. At the moment, you were occupied in trying to smudge Fred even more, while both rolled on the grass like two crazy kids.
It felt like a tickling and laughing competition — what you were competing about was uncertain, however, you were definitely competing because Fred wasn’t leaving you alone and you were loving it.
“Thanks for the match, Fred,” you said the instant you were able to breathe without laughing. You were propped up on your right elbow, which raised your head enough so that you could see the redhead’s face, who was looking at the sun that was already hiding behind the clouds. “You could have left me; it was clear that I was going to lose.”
“Give it up then, y/N. I’ll never leave you,” he replied, looking sideways at you and looking back at the setting sun.
You took a deep breath, enchanted by his beauty and his words. When you realized you had already said: “Te iubesc.”
Fred turned quickly at you, frowning. “Did you say something?”
You gulped, as red as one can get and quickly got up. You had just said you loved him, thankfully in Romanian, but still... Close call.
“I’m heading to the shower,” for the first time that late afternoon, you were urgent to get cleaned up. 
“I don’t think George — or Ginny, whoever got there first — is done yet,” Fred said, sitting down on the grass.
“Doesn’t matter,” you pretended to laugh it off and rushed inside the Burrow, leaving a confuse Fred behind.
Well, not so confused. Fred was almost certain you said “te iubesc” to him, and he was sure that was something in Romanian. He knew you were from there, and he always waited for the moment you would let a Romanian dialect, word or accent slip, but that day never came — until now.
He waited for this moment because he made Charlie teach him some primary words, so he could reply with a ”yes”, “no” or simply “Nu mai esti în România.”
Although at the top of his head, your words didn’t click in his head as nothing he knew the meaning, he had a feeling he had heard it before. He could ask Charlie, but knowing the family owl, it would take Fred a week to learn the meaning.
He waited a while before heading to the kitchen, where he found a distracted Harry, a sceptical Hermione and his younger brother, Ron, eating, as always.
“Ron?”
“Huh?” Ron let out between bites. 
“Have you seen Mum?” Fred asked.
“I think she’s doing laundry,” Ron answered. “Why?”
“Wanted to ask her something, that’s all,” Fred was already turning away when Hermione called.
“Perhaps I can help. What’s it?”
“Nosy,” grunted Ron, but the girl didn’t hear.
“It’s a phrase in Romanian. Somehow, I think I heard Charlie say it to Mum once,” Fred shrugged, assuming Hermione wouldn’t be able to help with that.
“Your mom keeps a Romanian dictionary in the living room. Over the fireplace,” Hermione said as if it was nothing — as if the whole family knew about it.
Fred raised his brows, suddenly excited. “Thanks, Hermione,” he mumbled before rushing to the fire to get the book.
After some minutes with it, Fred was about to give up. The dictionary was no help with phrases; it was only good for random words alone.
“Mum!” he exclaimed in surprise and relief when Molly walked in, holding a basket of clean clothes.
“Fred!” she exclaimed back. She wasn’t used with her kids that excited to see her.
“Last time Charlie was here, he was using a lot of Romanian dialects,” Fred started, not sure of how to proceed.
“Yes,” his mother simply said.
“And he said something to you after hugging you. Did he translate?”
“Oh! Te iubesc?” Molly definitely was not used to Romanian — in Fred opinion her accent was terrible compared to yours, but the words were apparently the same, so he didn’t complain.
“That’s it! What does it mean?” Fred jumped from the couch towards his mother.
“It means I love you. Your brother is such a sweetie,” Molly smiled with the memory — she missed all her kids, but most especially Charlie and Bill.
Mrs Weasley was so distracted by the memory of the last hug she gave her son, that she left the room without lingering with her older twin son. She didn’t seem to notice that Fred was paralyzed in place, relying on the sofa to keep him upright.
Fred couldn’t think — he was silly, completely silly. As crude as the adjective was, that was how he felt. He was happy, of course, he was!
You had practically declared yourself to him, and yet you had done so in innocence, using your mother tongue, which, in Fred’s opinion, only proved how true you were.
He had to do something about it. But what? It’d be ridiculous to use your words to reciprocate the statement — Fred wouldn’t be able to copy the accent well enough to make the sentence natural.
Something told him that he should act naturally about it and wait for your confession in English, which would mean that you really wanted him to understand. 
But then, how to look at you again and ignore that the most beautiful girl in the world, the friendliest, the funniest, the most talented, had said that she loved him? How would he ever go back to acting normally knowing that the only girl he ever loved— that he always hoped would be his— loved him?
Taking a deep breath, Fred came to an inevitable conclusion: he needed to be the one who would confess his feelings. Now he just needs a plan to how to do it.
After a long wait, it was finally your time with the shower, and you hoped it would clean not only your skin but also your thoughts.
So close, so close you came of confessing to Fred. Well, you actually did it, but in Romanian, so he’ll never know it.
You needed to distract yourself from Fred Weasley, but after that shower, everywhere you looked, there he was. 
Fred was outside of the bathroom, waiting for his turn to shower. You greeted him with a yellow smile before rushing back to your room. 
Just an hour before dinner, you were sitting in the living room, and he decided to sit next to you in the couch. Sure a part of you was thrilled, but another was freaking out.
When dinner was ready, he sat next to you again at the table.
When you thought you were about to free yourself from him —leaving quickly from the dinner table and rushing to get the armchair, where you would at least sit alone, he called you out.
“I need to show you...” he looked around before continuing in a whisper, “... a new product.”
You sighed, deciding it was better if you learned how to swallow your feelings and let your love for Fred kill you from inside out.
You two walked to upstairs where he guided you to hs room.
“Where’s George?” you asked once you sat down, remembering that generally, when they had a new product, George was always around to see your reaction too.
Fred just shrugged, almost ignoring your question.
“I have something to tell you,” he said fast, scared he would lose his courage. “And, well, I don’t really know how to do it... You see, I’ve never told a girl I’m in love with her before.”
Fred hadn’t realized that he had just done that, so while he was lost in words, rambling how amazing you were, you were frozen at just the “I’m in love” bit.
“Come again?”
“...should have said it sooner, because I’ve been... — wait, which part do you want me to say again?” he stopped his tracks.
You sighed and looked up from your knees, raising your eyes enough to meet his.
“You love me?”
“Te iubesc, yes,” Fred said. and then he hit himself in the forehead because he had promised he wasn’t going to use Romanian to declare his feelings. “Sorry about the Romanian bit. I love you, yes, that’s what I meant.”
“Wait. You understood me earlier?” your brain was just malfunction at this point, like a broken old computer.
“Not right away...” Fred stopped talking when he noticed you were panicking. “Look, I’ve been wanting to tell you this for a long time now. When you said it first, you just made things easier for me.”
“How did you know?”
“Charlie, my brother. He lives in Romania.”
Damn it, of course, the dragon fanatic would have gone live in your country; why wouldn’t he?
For a few minutes, or at least you guessed it had only been minutes, Fred stood in front of you, who was sitting on his bed, and the two avoided looking at each other for a long time.
“Should’ve guessed. Your mom kept Charlie’s posters of my country in his room,” you tried to laugh it off.
Fred ended up chuckling too. “Can we quit being awkward? I really want to kiss you,” he said, smiling and blushing slightly at the same time. “I mean, my brother will leave the room just to us for not much longer.”
It was your time to chucked while getting up, ready to have Fred’s lips in your for what you hoped would be the first of many times.
“I have a room for my own, silly,” you whispered in his ear before he smirked and trapped you in his embrace.

Hey y’all, I’m posting this on BMR but I figured I’d post it here as well.
I’m so sorry it’s been so long since the last update. I am here to reassure everyone who loves this fic that it is NOT discontinued—I love this fic too much to abandon, and I will update as soon as I can. There are a few reasons why it’s taken me so long, and I’ll explain a bit, but it’s not super happy, so… TW.
My life has been very, very crazy recently—I moved across the country, started college, and I’m basically starting everything from scratch. I’m obviously trying to focus on school and new friends. Another reason that I’m slow to write rn is because my laptop is broken and it’s taking awhile to fix, and I am incapable of writing on my phone.
But probably the biggest reasons it’s taken me so long to update is my current life circumstances. In short, I found out a couple of weeks ago that my mom’s cancer came back and it can’t be cured. We currently don’t know if it’s terminal. My best friend of four years also “broke up” with me the day before I found out. So my life is a bit of a mess and my support system is in shambles. I’m okay, but my focus is currently on my family, and I just haven’t had the opportunity to write overly much for the last couple weeks.
So, this is my way of saying that I’m sorry this fic is taking awhile to update, but it WILL be back, and hopefully soon. Thank you guys for all the support and lovely comments—I’ll be back with more angst once my computer is fixed. I’m hoping to post within the next two weeks, although no promises.
Thanks for everything, and I’ll see you soon!
